Chapter 3 Relics

Back in her room, Daiyu also calmed down. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info she instructed Zijuan:

"Find a box of gold and jade at the bottom of the box, and I'll take it to the old lady."

After speaking, he asked Xue Yan to fetch water to wash and dress up again, and changed into brighter colors according to Jia's mother's preferences.

Zijuan really found the box containing Lin Ruhai's suicide note, and took a steady Xiangfei-colored cloak to help Daiyu cover it outside. After packing up, Daiyu inspected it carefully, carried the box, and took Zijuan to Jia's mother's side.

Sure enough, at this time, Jia Mu had not rested. Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were both there, laughing with Jia's mother. Seeing Daiyu coming in, Jia Mu looked left and right and said:

"That's right, it looks like a blessed one, much better than your usual dress."

Daiyu smiled reluctantly. Because her parents died, she attached great importance to filial piety, and she couldn't keep filial piety by living in her grandfather's house, so she had to wear some plain clothes. Mrs. Xing on the side and Mrs. Wang, who never liked Daiyu, were also really amazed.

Daiyu saluted Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang one by one, but turned around and took out the box, kowtowed to Mother Jia, presented the box and said:

"Because I thought that my second sister was going to get married soon, and Daiyu had no other brothers and sisters around her, I thought about it, so I found my mother's widow, and my grandmother looked at it and picked two pieces to add makeup to my second sister!"

She put Lin Ruhai's letter under the hairpin ring jewelry, and planned to listen to Jia's mother's opinion first.

Mrs. Xing listened to it on the side, not wanting Daiyu to come for the Spring Festival, and looking at Daiyu was more pleasing to the eye. Jia Yu only knows how to spend money on weekdays and doesn't know how to make money, and when she gets married in the spring, she is reluctant, and she has to grit her teeth and buy some hairpin ring jewelry. Now that she has the jewelry left by Jia Min to add makeup, she has saved a lot of silver, not to mention, and her face will look much better.

You must know that Jia Min is the most beloved one of all the children, and she married into the family of Lin Ruhai, the salt patrol royal historian, and she carefully selected the ones she left to Daiyu, needless to say, they are all extremely valuable.

Jia Mu rubbed her reddened eyes and said, "Daiyu has a heart." As he spoke, he opened the box, and sure enough, he took out a whole ruby carved hairpin, a bracelet of the best emerald, and a head jewelry made of large eastern pearls, etc., all of which could not be bought with more silver on the market. Objects such as gold hairpins and jade rings are the least valuable in them.

Mother Jia took them out one by one, and while talking about the beginning, she handed them over to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others to enjoy. Mrs. Xing had never seen anything like this, so she was naturally full of praise, and Mrs. Wang took it in her hand, but her eyes were red with jealousy. She is the same generation as Jia Min, and her family is known for being rich, but the jewelry in the box is not as good as what Jia Min left behind.

After enjoying the fun, Jia Mu picked out the lowest priced set of gold and jade heads and handed them to the mandarin ducks, saying that they would add makeup to the spring. I flipped through it, and sure enough, I saw an envelope.

Jia Mu took out the envelope and instructed the mandarin duck to read it:

"It must have been left by Aunt Lin or Sister Min, if you read it to me, it should be a thought."

When the mandarin duck heard this, he lit the lamp and candle, and sure enough, he read it to Jia's mother sentence by sentence. Daiyu had already been held by Jia's mother, and now listening to the earnest explanation of her deceased father on the letter, tears were like broken beads.

Next to her, Mrs. Xing listened to the letter about how much property she had given to Jiafu and how much she had left for Daiyu as a dowry, and she thought back to the expenses in the mansion, but she didn't take advantage of it. She glared at Mrs. Wang fiercely, and hated Madame Wang for taking all the benefits away.

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth with hatred when she heard this, and the kind eyes of a bodhisattva on weekdays were gone, and her face was gloomy and hideous to the extreme. I also heard the mandarin duck read the family affair agreed with Jiafu orally, and his nails were deeply pinched into the flesh. She knew very well that Daiyu's dowry and other things, all the family property of the Great Salt Imperial History Mansion, part of it was used to build the Grand View Garden, and the other part was moved to her royal family. She thought that when Daiyu was in her second year of college, she would be able to hide her inheritance by sending her out with someone indiscriminately. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai left such a letter before he died.

Although it was written by Lin Ruhai, it was not a letter left by Jia Min, and Jia's mother inevitably felt nostalgic and shed tears with Daiyu. She patted Lin Daiyu's back and said again and again: "Good boy, I have wronged you." Daiyu couldn't help but let out a loud cry of sorrow.

After persuading Daiyu, Mother Jia said to Mrs. Wang:

"The two jades are now older. After a busy few days, it's time to set a date for them. ”

Mrs. Wang quietly broke two nails, forced a smiling face, and said:

"There have been a lot of things in the house recently, and the money in the account is tight, so it's better to ask someone to discuss it during the New Year!"

"Isn't it all the same sooner or later, before I close my eyes, let me see the two Yu'er get married." Jia Mu said. Mrs. Wang couldn't, her face changed and changed, but she didn't speak.

Lin Daiyu was next to Jia's mother, felt Mrs. Wang's cold eyes, recalled the scene when Baoyu married Baochai in her dream, and cried to Jia's mother:

"I know that Baoyu's jade is to be matched with gold, and now I don't feel embarrassed by my aunt, so please ask the old lady to help me see it separately!"

Mrs. Wang's face suddenly darkened to the bottom of the pot. She didn't want Lin Daiyu to marry Jia Baoyu, but if Lin Daiyu made another promise and had Lin Ruhai's suicide note, she would have to return all the embezzled dowry. Now that the money has been used by her to pave the way for Wang Ziteng's career, she has sold all her private houses, and it is not more than two or three tenths.

Jia Mu was angry and scolded Daiyu: "What kind of bastard words!" Then he said to Mrs. Wang: "The matter of the two Yu'er was also said first, and now because Yu'er lives alone in our house, do you want to be that unkind and unrighteous villain?" How sooner or later I died, so that you took the power and made the house shameless! ”

These words made Mrs. Wang's face turn purple. She gritted her teeth and endured it for a long time, and then said:

"My daughter-in-law will take the post tomorrow and ask Zhang Daoren to see the days."

For a while, Mother Jia hugged Daiyu and cried for a long time, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang dispersed. Mother Jia put away all the relics left by Jia Min, and ordered the mandarin duck to hold it and send Daiyu back alive.

When Zijuan sent the mandarin duck back, Daiyu sharpened the ink and picked up the pen, wrote a note, and sealed it in an envelope. She handed the envelope to Zijuan along with a Hetian jade gadget she had brought with her, and asked her to hand it over to Yingchun when she was unavailable.
