After the discussion was settled, the housekeeper went back to Linhe and Linyuan, and immediately they went out to measure the land, select craftsmen and building materials, and design the drawings of the academy. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Suzhou Lin family's long room several people saw that Lin He Lin Yuan suddenly did not leave, and mixed with Daiyu's housekeeper all day long, all of them were the second monk of Zhang, puzzled. They were afraid that the two families also looked at the family property left by Lin Ruhai, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot every day, but they couldn't think of any good way for a while.

Besides, Bu Guxiu and Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion, entered along the corner gate of Lixiangyuan, turned a corner through the corridor, and sent Jia Lian back to Sister Feng's room, and went to Jia Zheng to finish his errand. When I entered Lixiang Courtyard, I saw that Xue Pan's family no longer lived there, and a few old wives were replaced to guard the door, and the inside was being cleaned in a smoky miasma. Jia Lian felt strange, why did Xue Pan and his family move away, what are they doing cleaning it now. Because of the public case in Yangzhou, he felt that he had no face to ask around, so he followed Bu Guxiu back to his house in a gloomy manner. It happened that Sister Feng went to Ningfu, so Jia Lian asked the girl's mother-in-law to prepare water and wash, and all the stuffiness from Yangzhou to the present came out one by one, and then she covered the quilt and fell asleep.

Jia Zheng heard Bu Guxiu reply, knowing that Wang'er had been beaten, and couldn't help but say: "Good fight!" "If Jia Lian was his son, he would have called someone to break his legs.

If the matter spreads out, not only will the Lin family's reputation be tarnished, but the Jia family will be ruined to the end. Don't say anything else, just say that once a rumor spreads into the palace, Yuan Chun, who is valued by the emperor and queen with the word "virtuous", will immediately be suppressed to the end with "improper family style" and directly expelled from the palace. Jia Zheng, Jia Yu and others will also be demoted for crimes such as "not governing the family strictly, and the children's conduct is dirty". There are interests in the court, how can there be no enemy? The Prince's Mansion is the first one.

It's just that Jia Zheng has to cover up for Jia Lian now.

Jia Mu and Baoyu hadn't gotten the news yet, but Mrs. Wang knew about it first, and her face suddenly became very ugly. At present, a large amount of money is spent in the house, and there is an elder brother Wang Ziteng patrolling the border outside, so he needs to be transferred back to the capital. The palace still has to send large sums of silver. The Lin family's property was not able to be taken, and they immediately became stretched thin everywhere. After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang didn't care how hideous her face was, and forced herself to pretend to be kind and obedient, and went to Mother Jia.

"Lian'er came back today, and I just heard that Daiyu was left in Suzhou to keep filial piety. I thought, Daiyu's child is still young, and she doesn't have any relatives by her side, so the old lady might as well send someone to pick it up again. Mrs. Wang sat on the chair under Jia's mother's bed, and said with low eyebrows.

Mother Jia usually knew Mrs. Wang's character, and when she saw her appearance, she knew that she had a plan in her heart, so she deliberately went against her: "Daiyu's girl, it is also human nature to keep filial piety for her father." What are you doing with her here? She was weak and tired, and she had no chance of getting sick again. ”

The daughter-in-law was thinking, this child grew up in front of the old lady's eyes, and he was not familiar with the people in Suzhou, and he was not an uncle or grandfather who was in-law, so he was very lonely and pitiful in Suzhou. Take over my sister and sister to joke together, and you are in pain, isn't it a hundred times better than Suzhou? Madame Wang gritted her teeth secretly.

As he was talking, Baoyu came in, first met Jia's mother, and then came to meet Mrs. Wang. As soon as Jia Mu saw Baoyu coming, she softened her words and said, "Even so, who should I let pick it up?" ”

Baoyu asked, "Who is the old lady going to pick up?" ”

"It's not your sister Lin yet." Jia Mu said to Baoyu. "Before going to Yangzhou, I specially told you Second Brother Lian to send people to be good and help with the cooking, and still bring people back well, who knew that he would come back by himself today."

Baoyu listened to the first half of the sentence and thought that Jia Lian had brought Daiyu back, and immediately smiled; After listening to it again, it turned out that it was just Jia Lian who came back alone, and his heart suddenly turned half gray, and he begged Jia Muyang softly: "The ancestor will send someone to bring Sister Lin again!" She is hot and cold in Suzhou, and no one knows, she is so sensitive and hearty, if she is bullied by others again, how can she be good? ”

Jia's mother was also moved to send someone to pick up Daiyu, but after listening to Baoyu's plea, she agreed in her heart, so she said, "But who will you send to pick it up?" Your second brother Lian has just come back, so you have to let him stay at home for a few days. ”

Mother Jia thought for a while, and then said: "Yes, Rong'er and Qiang'er from Dongfu are going to Gusu to buy plays, just all the way, you can ask your sister to come with them." ”

Baoyu's face turned red all of a sudden. Jia Rong and Jia Qiang's usual behavior and style, he is very familiar with it, how can he hand over Sister Lin to them. So he hurriedly wanted to object. At this time, Mrs. Wang also spoke: "I'm afraid that Rong'er and Qiang'er are too young, and they will blindly mess around in Suzhou, and they still have to go to Lian'er to take over Sister Lin's affairs." ”

Only if Jia Lian goes, can he find a way to get Lin Ruhai's inheritance over, and put it in her hands. If Jia Rong and Jia Qiang go and get their belongings to their East Mansion, there will be no benefit to Mrs. Wang.

"Good ancestor, let me pick up my sister!" Baoyu was afraid of sending someone else to Suzhou again, so he hurriedly monkey to Jia Mu's body and begged. Mrs. Wang's face changed, and she only heard Jia's mother say, "No! Usually you just mess around in the house, there are many people outside, how can you go to such a far place. Let's tell your second brother Lian to worry about it again, and go to Suzhou to pick up your sister Lin! ”

Baoyu's expression was dazed, and Mrs. Wang was relieved when she heard that Jia's mother had already agreed and asked Jia Lian to go to Suzhou to pick up Lin Daiyu. The three of them gossiped in the house for a while, and were about to disperse, when suddenly Jia Zheng's servant came over, came in with a letter and said, "Miss Lin from Suzhou has sent a letter, and the master asked me to bring it to the old lady and the second lady." ”

When Baoyu heard it, he hurriedly went to pick it up, and opened the envelope while walking next to Jia's mother. Jia Mu asked, "What letter did the girl write, come and read it to me." ”

Baoyu had already seen the end from the beginning to the end, and when he saw his name on it, the look of chagrin just now was completely gone, and his eyebrows suddenly danced. He stood next to Jia's mother and said, "My sister wrote that my uncle's funeral has been settled, and she will come to us after the New Year. ”

Jia Mu counted the math and said with a smile: "It's not that there is less than a month to reach the end of the year." Anyway, at this time, there is no need to toss Lian'er anymore, just wait for Feng'er to celebrate the New Year. ”

Mrs. Wang pricked up her ears and listened attentively to Baoyu's reading of the letter, only to hear that the letter was really a steady and steady inquiry about the well-being of everyone in the house, and when Baoyu was mentioned, it was just an ordinary question, and as for the family property she was concerned about, she didn't even mention a word. After Baoyu finished reading the letter, her eyebrows and eyes smiled, and then she held the letter and read the letter from beginning to end, unable to bear to let go of her hand. Mrs. Wang still felt that she didn't send the competent people around her to Suzhou to guard the silver, and she was always unsure, but Mother Jia had already spoken, but Daiyu came back in more than 20 days, so she had to endure it.

After the words were finished, Jia Mu said that she was tired, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up to sweep the bed, Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "Okay, you are also tired, go back and rest." Let the mandarin ducks clean up. Mrs. Wang had no choice but to retreat. Jia Mu said to Baoyu again: "You have been out for a long time, you should go back and do some homework seriously, or play with your sisters, don't be distracted by us old people." ”

Baoyu was thinking of going back to write a letter to Daiyu, but when she heard this, she retired, and came to the upper room with Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang said, "Okay, I'm also tired, you go back." Baoyu then went to her room, let the attacker polish the ink, Qingwen laid out the paper, put Daiyu's letter in the corner of the table, sat down and wrote a reply.

In the evening, Sister Feng also came back from Ning Mansion. A little girl had already gone to Ningfu to tell her that Jia Lian had returned home, and she was not surprised at this time, and entered the house with a smile.

Jia Lian slept indiscriminately in the room, and woke up still in low spirits, fearing that the affairs of Yangzhou would be known by the whole house, so he asked the girl to clean up two small dishes indiscriminately, and relied on the kang to borrow wine to drown her sorrows.

At this time, Sister Feng entered the house, and Ping'er behind her supported a few mothers-in-law, and put a table of good wine and good food on the table, seeing Jia Lian drinking on the kang, she smiled, took a cup and poured a cup herself. Ping'er was so smart and clever, she had guessed that the two of them would have something to say when they reunited after a long absence, so they quietly withdrew with the girl's mother-in-law.

Sister Feng saw that there were no idlers in the house, and smiled and learned that the little girl outside said a thousand times underground: "Uncle Guo is very happy!" Uncle Guo has worked hard all the way, and the small one has not been able to go out of the house to welcome him, so he has specially prepared a table of wine to serve, I don't know if he can give the light to the fallacy? ”

Seeing how playful she said, Jia Lian had to reluctantly put aside the melancholy in her heart, and replied with a smile: "How dare you, how dare you!" More, more! Then he asked where the joy came from.

When Sister Feng said that Yuan Chun had been named a "virtuous concubine", Jia Lian was really overjoyed. put all the sorrow away for a while, and asked her about the things at home after saying goodbye, and thanked Sister Feng for her hard work, Sister Feng said: "Where can I manage these things, my knowledge is shallow, and my mouth is ......stupid" While humbling herself, she said all her usual skills implicitly, and by the way, she ordered Qin's funeral host, only saying "ridiculous" that Jia Zhen knelt in front of her to beg for mercy, begging to preside over the middle feed.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone talking outside, and it turned out to be Wang's daughter-in-law who came to give money. This Wang's daughter-in-law hasn't come home yet, and she doesn't know that Wang'er's tattered skin and flesh that was beaten for her master are coming up to talk to Ping'er. Jia Lian asked in the house, and Ping'er hurriedly replied that Aunt Xue had sent Xiangling, and left after saying a word, while hurrying Wang's daughter-in-law back first. Here Sister Feng and Jia Lian mentioned that Xiangling had been put in Xue Pan's room by Aunt Xue's face, and laughed, and someone on the second door said that Jia Yu was called Jia Lian in the big study, and I didn't know what it was for, so I didn't laugh at the moment, I was shocked and frightened, I put on my shoes and hurriedly went to the big study.

Ping'er took this opportunity to return the matter of profit to Sister Feng. After a while, Jia Lian came back, changing his previous worries, and his face was full of joy. His troubles in Yangzhou, Jia Zhengdu had already covered up for him, and only said to the house and Jia Mubaoyu that Sister Lin still had to keep filial piety in Gusu, and she came after the New Year, and there was a letter sent by Daiyu as a cover, so no one doubted why he came back first.

This time I asked him to go, again for a great joy. Since the emperor has been gracious and allowed the concubines' families to be in Kyoto, and they have the financial and material resources to build the garden, the saint has specially approved the permission to go home and save their relatives. Jia Yu and Jia Zheng asked Jia Lian to go to the big study to discuss the matter of building a garden.
