The people of the Jia family are gone, the New Year is still going to pass, and after the busy New Year, it is the New Year, and the people in the house are red, and the new clothes have been prepared. Because this year Daiyu prepared together, it was not like in previous years to directly add monthly money, according to the head of the person each person sealed a red envelope, and waited for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve to let everyone come up to Lin Ruhai and his wife to kowtow, and Jia Min personally sent it. Although Jia Min felt that it was very unnecessary, he couldn't twist Daiyu's crooked reasoning, so he responded.

On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Daiyu asked Grandma Sun to take Zhixuan to each room and courtyard to distribute new clothes, both men and women are two sets inside and outside, one set of clips, one set of cotton, each aunt in Shuxinzhai added two sets of new clothes and two plain silver wrapped blonde hairpins, and the girls in the room each added one set of new clothes and one plain silver hairpin. It can be said that everything is covered, and everyone is happy, even Aunt Bai also rushed to the upper room to thank Jia Min after taking the new clothes.

After Aunt Liu took it with a smile, when Grandma Sun and her party walked away, she angrily threw her new clothes on the ground and stepped on her feet vigorously. A face was distorted, and the frightened personal maid Ruyi hurriedly looked out of the door, then closed the door and picked up the clothes on the ground, and said, "Auntie, don't be like this, what if someone knows about it?" After speaking, she looked at Aunt Liu worriedly. After all, Aunt Liu has been in this mansion for decades, and it is not Jia Min or anyone's kindness that has survived until now, but the sincerity of her deep scheming, so she quickly took away the emotions on her face, asked Ruyi to re-freshen her, put on the new clothes she had just sent, and took a few deep breaths before going to the upper room with Ruyi to thank Jia Min.

Daiyu has been here for several months, although she had suspected that Brother Yan'er's death was related to Aunt Yan in the backyard, and she didn't believe that Aunt Zhuang, who had only been in the house for less than a year, could silently harm Brother Yan, but then people stared at Shuxinzhai and didn't see anything, this Aunt Liu even thought that Brother Yan'er had not taken a step out of Shuxinzhai for a few months in the name of praying for blessings, so this was the first time Daiyu saw Aunt Liu.

The face is like a silver plate, thick eyebrows and apricot eyes, black cloud hair is piled on the head, fixed with two gold-wrapped hairpins, only decorated with two rose-colored silk flowers, purple embroidered cloud pattern new clothes and the two hairpins on the head are just sent today, I think it is because of the delay in grooming and changing clothes, so it is later than Aunt Bai. There was no expression on his face, he was very calm and indifferent. or because of the peace of mind and good maintenance, or because of Jia Min's physical damage, in short, although I heard that he is the same age as Jia Min, he looks younger than Jia Min.

Aunt Liu entered the house and saluted Jia Min first, and after Jia Min called up, she saluted Daiyu, and Daiyu turned sideways to accept half a salute. Although Aunt Liu didn't show it on her face, her hand holding Ruyi was tight, and her long nails left a deep mark on Ruyi's palm. Ruyi didn't dare to cry out in pain, so she had to lower her head more ruthlessly. Daiyu and Jia Min didn't notice this, and after saying a few words, they asked her to go back with Aunt Bai, and they didn't need her to wait here to open the curtains.

The Lin family has few masters, the aunts also eat in their own rooms, Daiyu does not like to eat when a room of people surrounds, so this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is very clean, no different from the side days, but Jia Min feels very warm, today Daiyu specially chose a big red embroidered Ruyi patterned coat, Jia Min also chose a crimson embroidered peony long coat, even Lin Ruhai also specially explained that Jia Min wore a crimson long shirt, the family looked particularly harmonious and joyful.

After eating, Daiyu pulled Lin Ruhai and Jia Min to the courtyard, Jia Min stood on Lin Ruhai's right hand, and Daiyu herself stood on Lin Ruhai's left hand. Then Daiyu gave Kapok a look, and Kapok quietly retreated, and after a while, the main courtyard was full of people. At the front are eight old grandmothers, led by Lin Ruhai's grandmother, then the housekeepers' daughters-in-law from all over the house, and the big maid with the little maid in the back. Lin Ruhai didn't know what was going on when he saw such a battle, Jia Min just smiled and didn't explain, Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows and looked at Daiyu, Daiyu also smiled, and the green calyx and Ruizhu moved two nanmu chairs and asked Lin Ruhai and his wife to sit down, Lin Ruhai did not refute, knowing that this was the idea of his baby daughter Daiyu, and he was happy to amuse her. Soon, the little maids in Jia Min's house led the mother-in-law to bring up boxes of sealed red envelopes. The grandmother below, seeing that Lin Ruhai and his wife were seated and the red envelope was also brought up, did not wait for anyone to command, so she took a few steps forward and said to Lin Ruhai and his wife in unison: "I wish the old lady a good New Year and all the best!" "It's like a rehearsal, okay, Daiyu really let these people rehearse, the main thing is to be neat, it's not difficult to say it simply, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour. After saying that, he got up and did not go back. Jia Min also didn't know about this, and Lin Ruhai glanced at each other in surprise, and saw Kapok take a lacquer plate painted with Wanfu Ruyi in the little girl's hand and stepped forward and said, "The old lady is rewarded!" As he spoke, he handed over the red envelopes in the lacquer plate to the hands of the grandmothers, who were all human spirits, although they did not open it, they also knew that this year's red envelopes were thicker than in previous years, almost ten taels of silver ingots. He was also happy to crack his mouth and smiled: "Thank you, Mrs. Xie" is still so neat, and then retreated to the side. Then the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper stepped forward and said, "May the old lady's wish come true, safe and healthy!" "The reward was also withdrawn as before, and so on, and it took a while to distribute all the people in the courtyard. These people didn't go down, they just stood on the side, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't ask, knowing that Daiyu still had arrangements, but Lin Ruhai and Jia Min never thought that the next person who came in was the steward of the outer courtyard! Lin Ruhai suddenly turned his head to look at Daiyu, but Daiyu looked at him with a smile, he couldn't either, if he wanted to live with his daughter during the New Year? It could be seen that Daiyu was very thoughtful, so she didn't say anything anymore. But Jia Min is uncomfortable, she is an inner housewoman, how can she see so many foreign men at once, what can she do with her reputation in the future? stared at Daiyu with a bad face, and his eyes were full of reprimands. Then he got up and prepared to retreat to the house, but at this time, Daiyu turned to Jia Min's side and grabbed Jia Min's sleeve, so that Jia Min couldn't retreat for a while. It's just that the face is getting more and more ugly.

Here, the housekeeper took the little ones into the inner courtyard, which should not and could not have happened, but now it has happened, not to mention those little guys, even the old housekeeper lowered his head and didn't dare to look around. But I still remember the previous mother's explanation, the housekeeper led the steward forward first, and more than a dozen people knelt on the ground, and sang loudly without looking up: "I wish the master a high rise every year, and the stars shine brightly!" May my wife be blessed with good luck and good health! After speaking, he knelt there, Lin Ruhai was a little happy when he saw such a scene, and he said, "Everyone has worked hard!" I wish you all a happy new year and all the best! "After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, a little maid stepped forward with a lacquer plate, and each person also had a red envelope." The housekeepers took it and knew that it was a silver ticket, and their hearts were even more happy. When Daiyu thought that the big guy was about to withdraw or step aside as before, Daiyu took two steps forward, stood in front of the housekeepers, squatted lightly, and saluted. Just when Lin Ruhai was surprised and Jia Min was very uncalm, Daiyu said: "All the housekeepers, grandfathers, uncles, have worked hard, the master is in the outer courtyard, you take care of everything, it is not convenient for me and my mother, I hope that in the future, you will also do your best as before, help the master, and take care of the things in the house." The Lin family will not treat meritorious people badly! The words were both soft and hard, and Jia Min was surprised at a glance, Lin Ruhai was full of satisfaction, and even a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. After the housekeepers stepped aside, it was the little ones who stepped forward and said two auspicious words. Lin Ruhai and his wife thought that it should be over now, but Daiyu stood up again and said: "Today's New Year, I hope you shouldn't delay everyone, but this is also a rare reunion in our house" Obviously, Daiyu didn't count the aunts in the backyard in the house. "Let's celebrate the arrival of the New Year together and hope that everything will be successful in the coming year!" After speaking, he saw the maid who was standing on the side before, took out a large bundle of fireworks and firecrackers and put them in the middle of the courtyard, and then Daiyu walked up to Lin Ruhai and said, "This first one, please ask Daddy to light it!" Lin Ruhai was in a happy mood now, and he took it without hesitation, and after crackling for a while, the big guys lit firecrackers and set off fireworks, so lively, even Jia Min's face looked much better after this time.

When everyone dispersed, Dai Yu took Jia Min with one hand and Lin Ruhai into the house with the other, and began to keep the New Year as a family. Daiyu knew that if she didn't give Jia Min an explanation for this matter today, it would not work, and besides, in ancient times, there was no TV and Spring Festival Gala to pass the time like in the previous life, so she asked Jin'er and the others to go down, and thought that they would all go out after a while, Daiyu looked at Kapok, and then looked at Jia Min, and saw that Jia Min nodded to her, Daiyu was not entangled in the matter of Kapok, and said: "There is nothing to do now, Yu'er will tell a story to her father and mother." "The story is very simple, that is, after the death of Li Jiamin in the original book, Lin Ruhai was not good at taking care of the back house, and he was not able to take care of the young girl, so he could only entrust the young girl to others to take care of him. Daiyu spoke with a colorful voice, and Jia Min listened with resentment. After this story was told, Daiyu didn't wait for Lin Ruhai and Jia Min to think carefully and then told another story, this story is that Xue Pan has no father's upbringing, Aunt Xue has no idea, she can't manage the outside steward and can't teach her son, so the family took refuge in powerful relatives, and was deceived by relatives and outside stewards The family property was cheated out, this story is not finished, Lin Ruhai's face has changed greatly, and Jia Min is also embarrassed. At this time, Dai Yucai said: "They are all people in their own family, although they can't see each other for a long time, but my mother must at least know who is doing what and what is in charge of things in the outer yard, although my father doesn't care about housework, but I also have to know that those people are capable, and those people are cheating and cheating." After speaking, he knelt down to Jia Min and Lin Ruhai: "Yu'er knows that Yu'er is not doing things well today, which makes her father and mother unhappy, Yu'er is here to apologize to her father and mother, but after listening to those two stories, Yu'er is very scared in her heart, the book says: Born in danger, died in peace, although now that Dad and Mother are in good health, there will be no things in the story, but we also have to take precautions, and Yu'er is now less than seven years old, if you don't take advantage of the present to recognize the family at once, In the future, there is no such a good opportunity, if my father goes out, or my mother has something, I just want to find someone, and I don't know who to find. Jia Min listened to Daiyu's story and explained, and was relieved, and pulled Daiyu up with a smile and scolded: "It's up to you!" But there was a softness on his face. Dai Yu snuggled up to Jia Min and argued: "That's Yu'er's truth? Besides, everyone is looking at it tonight, my mother is sitting next to my father, on an equal footing, everyone knows that my father and mother have a good relationship, we are a family, who will be blind in front of my father in the future, and disobey in front of my mother? Upon hearing this, Lin Ruhai smiled: "Dare to love Yu'er is all for your mother's sake!" It can be seen that I don't take my father to heart. As soon as Daiyu heard this, she hurriedly pretended to be cute, took Lin Ruhai's hand and said coquettishly: "How can Yu'er have it!" Yu'er isn't all about her father? There is less right and wrong in the family, and my mother is in a good mood, and my body and bones will naturally be better, and my father doesn't know how much worry he can save! And what Yu'er taught them were some wishes for good health and the fulfillment of their wishes, their father and mother's health are better, won't Yu'er be able to have a younger brother next year? Hearing this, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's eyes lit up, and after glancing at each other, Jia Min's face began to flush slightly.

Daiyu didn't joke with them, after all, she was not even five years old now. So he changed the topic and said: "Yu'er really thinks about her father and mother." After saying that, he ran to the warm pavilion and fetched a small package and came in. opened in front of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai and said: "Yu'er is only learned, her skills are not good, father and mother don't dislike and laugh at Yu'er." After speaking, he gave Jia Min a forehead embroidered with hibiscus and pearls, and gave Lin Ruhai a purse embroidered with golden chrysanthemums with ink-colored edges on a sea blue bottom. Then he said: "May my father and mother always be harmonious and beautiful, healthy and healthy!" The mother is getting more and more beautiful, and the father is rising step by step! Jia Min and Lin Ruhai laughed out loud when they heard this, and said yes in a loud voice.

Daiyu is injured and taking care of housework these days, and is busy with tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and even made needlework for her husband and wife, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min are distressed and happy, and Jia Min even has red eye circles.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't give them gifts, Daiyu deliberately widened her eyes and said, "Did Daddy and Mother forget to prepare a gift for Yu'er?" "It's fast and urgent, but that little look has made Jia Min and his wife cute. It was only after changing the previous atmosphere that Daiyu was given a gift that it was over.

Daiyu sat on the side and saw that it was still early, so she hesitated for a moment and said, "Yu'er will tell another story to her father and mother, okay?" Listening to Daiyu about to tell the story again, Lin Ruhai and his wife were both distracted and nodded in response, so Daiyu told how Lai's family made the talent of Rongguo Mansion in the original book, how they lived more solidly than the main family, and added oil and vinegar to revise and revised, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were shocked when they heard it, and hurriedly asked: "Who did Yu'er listen to this story?" Daiyu dared to say it, naturally she had already thought of a pretext, and naturally she would not mess up, so she said: "When I was in Hanshan Temple on the seventh day of the first month, I finished incense with my mother, and my mother went to the abbot. Originally, I just listened, but after a few days of recuperation, I pondered it repeatedly, and the more I pondered, the more scared I felt, so I decided to tell my father and mother about it too. After hearing this, Jia Min did not doubt that he was there, and Lin Ruhai's heart was also overturned. Especially when I heard Daiyu say that the girl finally died tragically because of her father's trust, it was like herself. As soon as I heard that there were chickens outside for a penny, they became ten pennies when they arrived in the house, and they even used the name of the house to be a traitor outside, and they felt frightened. Turning his head, he said to Jia Min: "Although Yu'er tells a story, there are many such things in the world. At the beginning of the year, you should also take care of these individuals in our family, and if there are cheaters and tricksters, especially those who are rapists outside, they should be sent out, and those who should be sent to the official will be sent to the official! We can't do anything like this in our house, and ruin the reputation of our ancestors for hundreds of years. After thinking about it, he said: "You in the house will investigate carefully, and I will let people investigate carefully outside." Jia Min's face was a little pale when she heard Daiyu's story, and she didn't ease up at this time. I had to nod my head.

Hearing Lin Ruhai's decision, Daiyu was very happy in her heart and did not show her death, afraid that Jia Min would not be attentive enough, so she lowered her head and looked at Jia Min "quietly" with her eyes from time to time. With such an obvious action, Lin Ruhai and his wife saw it in their eyes, Jia Min only said that this girl had something to say, and did not tease her and asked, "What does Yu'er want to say?" It's all your own family, and you don't have to be like this. After listening to Jia Min's words, Daiyu knew that her goal had been achieved, so she whispered in a soft voice as much as possible: "Mother, do you remember Mama Zhou?" After speaking, he carefully looked at Jia Min's face, and said: "Although Mama Zhou cut herself and his family ran away, Yu'er wants to say, can Mama Zhou handle Brother Yan's affairs alone?" I don't know how many people in this house are involved in this matter! Listening to Daiyu's words, Jia Min's eyes turned red, she knew that Mama Zhou couldn't do this alone, but Mama Zhou had already gone, but she couldn't track it down, she was just helpless in her heart, but as soon as Lin Ruhai heard this, her eyes immediately became sharp, staring at Daiyu and said, "What does Yu'er know?" Don't say it yet! Daiyu couldn't help but shudder before whispering: "Yu'er didn't hear anything, but I listened to those stories in the temple, and then I felt that things would not be so simple, Mama Zhou is Brother Yan's grandmother, if Brother Yan is good in the future, she will definitely stand up to the door, Mama Zhou only has good things to do with Brother Yan, why did she have such a black hand?" I didn't lose the benefits in vain, not to mention, I also killed myself! Lin Ruhai and Jia Mingu thought it was reasonable, but they didn't want Daiyu to be involved in this matter, so they nodded and said, "Yu'er, don't think about it, this matter has a mother and your father." ”

After talking for a while, Daiyu fell asleep in Jia Min's arms a little unbearably, and Jia Min whispered to Lin Ruhai: "Yu'er's words are very reasonable, I don't know if the master has noticed it, since Yu'er woke up after passing out last time, she has become more and more clever and intelligent." Lin Ruhai thought about it and nodded yes, and when he saw Jia Min's worried face, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Xu is Yan'er's matter has stimulated her too much, and besides, Yu'er's smart and intelligent is the blessing of my husband and wife, what is my wife worried about?" Jia Min sighed before saying: "Yu'er's body bones are not good when she comes out of the womb, people often say, 'Hui Ji hurts the body', how can I not worry." Lin Ruhai whispered a few words of reassurance, and the couple said something else, and then asked Daiyu to be sent to the warm pavilion in the inner room. Lin Ruhai ate some things and went out of the mansion to the ancestral house by himself, on the first day of the New Year to worship his ancestors, Jia Min is a female dependent does not have to go, but he can't go.
