led him and knocked on the door, and after a while, a dumb servant opened the door, and the kid invited Lin Rui into the courtyard to look around.

Serious old Kyoto courtyard, two entered, there is a small garden at the back, there is a small lake, there are rockeries, there are pavilions, and a small bamboo forest, this garden does not look like the north, a bit of a southern courtyard meaning.

Lin Rui nodded with satisfaction, my sister should like this place, if the price is right, you can accept it if it is a little more expensive.

Then he asked, "You look good here, I don't know how much money you have?"

The kid avoided answering and said, "If you like it, that's fine!"

Lin Rui asked again, "You haven't said how much it is!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, saying, "This garden doesn't take a penny!"

Lin Rui frowned, since he got Tanhua and entered Hanlin, there has been more than one or two filial piety like this, this time I am afraid that which rich but not expensive family wants to climb the calculations he made, right?

Just as he was about to reprimand, he turned around and saw a middle-aged man who was slightly familiar, so he couldn't speak, and looked at him suspiciously, this person looked familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen him, but in his heart he told him that he was not a bad person.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man said with a smile, "I'm afraid Uncle Rui doesn't remember me, right?" But also, how old was Uncle Rui back then, so he followed the girl to Jia's house, and it's normal not to remember. ”

"It's you!" Lin Rui suddenly realized, "Manager Lin, it's you!, why are you here?"

The middle-aged man was the Lin steward of the Lin Mansion in Jiangnan back then, and said with a smile,

"Uncle Rui has a good memory, when the old man died, we were all sent away, I didn't stay in the south but came to the old father in the north. ”

Lin Rui was a little confused and asked, "Here, is this your yard?"

Steward Lin shook his head and said,

"No, it's not, this is the Lin Mansion Annex, the ancestors of the Lin family also served as officials in Kyoto, so there is an old mansion, and this annex, and later the family went to the south to settle down, and then the old mansion was given to the court by the lord that year, this annex is small because it is small, and it is stationed all the year round by my father Lin Fulin's old housekeeper, so no one values it. ”

Lin Rui then asked, "I don't know where the old housekeeper is now, I'll go and greet him." ”

Steward Lin's eyes dimmed, and he said,

"My father just passed away a few years ago, and I still can't let go of the girl and the uncle before leaving, and I told me to take care of my girl and the uncle, and return this courtyard to the Lin family.

Thinking of an old man who was still thinking about him and his sister before he died, and thinking about returning the courtyard owed to the Lin family, Lin Rui's calm heart fluctuated, his throat moved slightly, and he said,

"This garden is the wish of the old housekeeper Lin, the kid doesn't dare not accept it, but after receiving it, how can you live?"

Seeing that he had accepted it, Steward Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said,

"The masters of the Lin family are generous, when our father and son were in charge of the Lin family, they accumulated some family foundations, and then when they were dismissed, the girl sealed a sum of money, so it is not bad money, and when the master takes over this courtyard, I also plan to take my father back to his hometown in the south to settle down. ”

Lin Rui arched his hand and said, "In this case, I don't dare to delay Steward Lin's trip, and I hope to go all the way!"

Lin Rui took a house, and when the Jia family couldn't get by, he brought his sister here, and he was free from disturbances in the house.

Just when the people of the Rong Mansion saw some liars every day and were about to collapse, Jia Lian finally saw a jade gift, the words on it were not bad, and the jade looked the same, so he quickly took it in and showed it to the old lady and his wife.

The old lady brought Western glasses, took a closer look, and then nodded, "That's it, but why does it look a lot darker than before?"

Mrs. Wang took it and looked at it, and said, "It's really like a layer of dust." ”

But there is no way, Baoyu has been pulling Daiyu in the house for many days.

Daiyu was already in poor health, after two days of tiredness, she coughed slightly, but the old lady and Mrs. were anxious enough, Baoyu was just the time to lose her soul, if it was the invasion of external evil, then, it would be called every day, and the earth would not be spiritual!

He could only send the jade to Baoyu, but fortunately, the jade was still useful, and Baoyu gradually returned to his soul, but just like his piece of jade, it seemed that his mind was covered with dust, and he was much duller.

Mother Jia regrets that the good child has become like this, but she has no choice but to raise it slowly.

On the first day of June of this year, it was the third anniversary of Jia Jing's death, and it was also the day when Ning Guofu was removed from the service.

That's right, Jia Lu is about to get married.

In order to show that filial piety to Jia Jing should not be married at such a close time, it must wait for a month or two to get better, but this is a holy decree made by Jiang Zining when he returned to Beijing two years ago.

Although Jia Lu is small, but Jiang Zining is not small, this year, he is twenty-three years old, and he is still a single, cough, although he has two concubines, he is a hairy boy in the eyes of the world, which is a little more tragic than Jia Rong back then.

Not to mention others, even the emperor as a cousin can't stand it, not even a month after the filial piety, it is set on June 25, this day is appropriate: marriage, sacrifice, travel, and money;

June 24, is the day of the dowry bed, except for the common people, the dowry does not have three or two boxes of poor people, but all those who are some decent will choose to spend the dowry on the day before, or wait for the next day when the dowry is behind the bride's buttocks, one string after another, until it gets dark, it may not be able to send it, and there are many people, one or two pieces are lost, not to mention the value, the first one is unlucky.

Therefore, early in the morning of the 24th, the Zhang family led a huge group of subordinates to carry boxes of dowries to the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, which was endless red, like a long red silk.

The head is the white jade Ruyi given by Shun Taifei Niangniang, Shun Taifei Niangniang is the biological mother of the second princess, and she was entrusted by the second princess, she has the highest status, so she is only the first one.

Next is the golden silk red peony hairpin given by Jia Jieyu's mother, Jia Yuanchun is Jia Lu's sister, even if she is seriously ill, she will not lack this etiquette.

At the bottom of the head is a neat red paper nineteen new tiles, nineteen adobe, don't dislike this thing dirty, this is the foundation of a woman's life, the former represents the deed, the back represents the field, or Zhuangzi, with these, is the groom's family no matter how poor it can live a prosperous life, not many people drool over this!

However, more people are attracted by the head jewelry and clothing fabrics at the back, and the red cloth is covered with it, but the faint exposure is enough to make people think about it.
