Returning to the house is not far from the New Year, and the old New Year's gifts of distant relatives have been sent before, but the near place has not been taken care of. Jia Min was not in good health after giving birth, and then experienced the pain of losing a child, and then after the toss of this Hanshan Temple, he fell ill after returning to the house and being busy for less than two days.

Daiyu couldn't do it for a while, but fortunately, she followed Jia Min's side to watch Jia Min take care of everything in the house for more than two months, so she took the initiative to go to Jia Min to help deal with it. After all, Daiyu is a person in his twenties, although he doesn't know much about the customs and humanities at this time, but it's still no problem to paint the scoop in the same way, and the kapok grandma and others in Jia Min's room are veterans who have dealt with these things for many years, so Daiyu can handle it quite well, Jia Min sees that Daiyu takes care of it well, although she occasionally takes care of it, after all, it is much easier, and her body has raised some back.

On the twenty-third of that month, Jia Min's health also improved greatly, and there were many things to be busy today, and there were more important things such as the sacrificial stove, so he personally handled it, first, to let Daiyu relax, and secondly, to teach Daiyu what to do about such a thing.

When Daiyu came to the upper room to greet Jia Min, she saw that Jia Min had already dressed up and dressed up, wearing a red embroidered peony coat, like a green smoke wave skirt, although it was smeared with rouge, but the whole person looked good spirited. In this way, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was afraid that Jia Min would hang up early in a year or two, and she would have to go to Rongguo Mansion to struggle?

Daiyu was happy to see Jia Min's complexion, but Jia Min felt that Daiyu was getting thinner and thinner, so she asked her what she ate, what she drank, what time she slept, and when she got up. Although Daiyu was a little impatient in her heart, Jia Min's eyes were full of concern, distress, and even anxiety did not escape from Daiyu's eyes, and her heart was also soft for a while, so she answered carefully.

In fact, Daiyu paid attention to maintenance and exercise during this time, her body was really nothing, and the bruises on her back were almost better, and now she didn't have a little shallow mark, and she didn't feel pain, but it was a busy New Year's Day, and she hadn't experienced it, so she was afraid that something would go wrong, and she was careful about everything, so she slept late and got up early every day, and she looked a little tired. Fortunately, Aunt Luo was considerate of her and gave her a holiday, so that she could go to school after the Lantern Festival.

Jia Min heard Daiyu say a lot of comforting words, and saw that Daiyu was not as out of breath as before, so he was also relieved, and called Jin'er to inquire carefully and tell him everything. The heart is both warm and a little funny.

However, Jia Min didn't think it was funny, she didn't even realize that Mama Wang had been out for two or three months, and she had forgotten to add a mama to Daiyu's house! Inner self-blame. When I looked up, I saw Daiyu pursing her lips and smiling, only to find that Daiyu, who was less than five years old, was too sensible, so that she didn't feel that she trusted her, and even relied on her these days. I was ashamed and distressed in my heart. Holding Daiyu around and about to say something, he heard someone outside talking and hurriedly asked, "Who is outside?" Come in and talk back. As soon as the words fell, I saw the little girl open the curtain, and Grandma Sun walked in with a happy face.

Mama Sun came in and said happily without waiting for Jia Min to ask: "Madam, the return gifts and letters from the capital have arrived!" Jia Min's face was also full of joy when he heard this: "Bring it to me and take a look." He was busy with the gift list and letter, and opened the letter without looking at the gift list, so he didn't notice the chill on Daiyu's face. When Daiyu was studying in the Red Chamber in her previous life, the person she hated the most was none other than this old lady Jia! I can't teach my son well, I can't raise my grandson well, and I'm vicious and self-righteous! is a hundred times more hateful than Mrs. Wang, who was psychologically distorted by her aunt! But Grandma Sun happened to look up. My heart was sudden, but I didn't dare to think about it.

Jia Min read it, and the comfort of her lost son for a long time in the letter told her to have a good child, and to have another son as soon as possible, and so on, and talked about Jia Zhu's fate in the coming year, and praised Baoyu for how clever and intelligent she was, and nothing else. I've also seen the gift list, but it's just some medicinal materials, clothing and soil rituals. He asked, "Who sent it?" Where are the people? Grandma Sun listened to Jia Min's question, and hurriedly collected her heart and replied with a smile on her face: "It's the old lady's side Lai Da and his family, Lai Da is in front of the old man to reply to the master, and Lai is waiting outside the door." After speaking, he glanced at Daiyu carefully, and saw that there was no color on Daiyu's face, so he felt that he was dazzled before. After all, it was Daiyu's grandfather's house. She didn't know that Daiyu just didn't like it in her heart! In the entire Rongguo Mansion, there is nothing she likes, even if she is sympathetic to those springs and has no liking.

Jia Min heard that it was someone from her mother's side, so she asked Grandma Sun to bring people in. Daiyu saw a woman wearing a kudzu silk jacket, covered with brown embroidered begonia hard forging armor, with a skirt of the same color, with a five-blessing Ruyi golden hairpin on her head, and a pair of dripping jade earrings on her ears. He walked in with a smile on his face. It's more decent than the wife of a good small family.

"Say hello to Mrs. Aunt!" So saying, he knelt down. Seeing Daiyu standing next to Jia Min, she said again: "Say hello to Miss Lin." Daiyu had a professional smile on her face in her previous life, she didn't speak or nod, Jia Min saw people but the joy on her face was stronger, when she was young, Jia Min was raised by Mrs. Jia's side, these people were all familiar, so she hurriedly got up and sat down. When the little girl heard this, she immediately moved the pestle. Everyone's pretense excused themselves for a while, and then they also sat down next to the pestle. Jia Min then asked the old lady one by one, the body of the old man and the second master, and everyone in the house. Lai everyone naturally said yes, and specially said that Jia Zhu will participate in the spring festival, and the Lan Ge'er born by Grandma Zhu is well-behaved, praising how Baoyu is loved by the old lady, thinking of the meaning expressed by the old lady at home, and deliberately looked at Daiyu. When it was said that Yuan Chun was assigned to the Four Princes' Mansion, his eyes were full of color, and he didn't notice the bright light in Daiyu's eyes for a moment. After asking, Jia Min asked Lai to go down and rest, and he didn't mention it.

When all the people left Jia Min was about to tell Daiyu about her mother's Rongguo Mansion, the cold Daiyu asked, "Didn't you say that Yu'er has two uncles?" Then Zhu's cousin, Baoyu's second cousin, and Yuanchun's cousin are all the children of the second uncle, right? Could it be that the eldest uncle has never had children? Saying that, he looked at Jia Min with curiosity and concern, Jia Min was also stagnant, Fang remembered that whether it was Jia's mother's letter or Lai's reply, he did not mention the eldest brother's son, Jia Lian, the eldest son and grandson of Rongguo Mansion, and he had some doubts in his heart, thinking that back then, when Jia Min was not married, his relationship with his sister-in-law was also very good. It's just that the eldest sister-in-law went later, and married a broken house to fill the house, even Mrs. Wang Jia Min is also disdainful, let alone such a broken settlement, or to fill the house, since there is no contact, the letter from her mother did not mention it, and she never thought that today Daiyu asked in her heart twice, that Jia Lian is the only bloodline left by the first sister-in-law. Seeing Daiyu looking at him curiously on the side, he sighed and said: "Your uncle's family has a cousin Jia Lian, and a cousin Jia Brown and a cousin Yingchun. Your first aunt has a good character, knowledge and appearance, even her mother's family is like our family, but her fate is not good, so she went early. After saying that, he was also a little sad. Jia Lian, Jia Yingchun, Daiyu knew it, and she just wanted to arouse Jia Min's words, so she asked again: "In that case, then Jia Lian's cousin is the eldest son and grandson of his grandmother's family, why don't he raise his son in front of his grandmother, but his cousin and cousin in the second uncle's family, and raise him in front of his grandmother?" Jia Min looked at Daiyu's "innocent" appearance and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he said: "I have never been back to marry your father for more than ten years, and I don't know the specifics. After speaking, he blushed unnaturally, knowing the virtue of his eldest brother. But in front of the young Daiyu, she can't say anything else. Seeing Jia Min say this, Daiyu thought about it and said, "Although my mother has not been back for many years, in the end it is my mother's maiden home, Yu'er's maternal grandfather's house. If you want to write from your grandfather, just like your mother's letter, you only talk about good and happy things, and don't talk about those difficult things. If it's all good, it will be good for the mother to feel at ease, and if there is something difficult, the mother can also help one or two. When Jia Min heard Daiyu say this, although she was happy that Daiyu was close to her mother's family, she was also surprised that Daiyu had such thoughts, so she smiled and asked, "Then who does Yu'er plan to send to Beijing to investigate?" Daiyu pondered for a moment before saying: "After all, it is the mother's mother's family, if it is all good, it will be fine, if there is anything embarrassing, or not very good, it will not be good to reach the ears of the father, even if you want to know, it has to be told by the mother, and it must not be known by the mouth, so Yu'er feels that it is not suitable for the Lin family to have children." Hearing this, Jia Min was very satisfied, his daughter was finally towards herself, and listened to Daiyu continue: "Even the people who accompanied the mother are also inappropriate, they came out of the grandfather's house, and they have a lot of friendship with the people over there, and most of them know them. At this time, Jia Min was calm on the surface, but he was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that he had planned to let Grandma Sun's son go to Beijing to investigate, but now it seems that he can't. Seeing that Daiyu didn't say anything further, as if she was thinking, she asked, "Yu'er has a good idea?" Daiyu said in her mind: "Mother thinks this is good, find an honest daughter-in-law who has not been in the house for a long time on the mother Zhuangzi, and let her take Yinglian to Beijing, just say that it is a distant relative of Grandma Sun, and you can't take your young daughter to her relatives to live at home, and Grandma Sun's family is married to her mother, and her grandfather's family will let them come back to our side, and it is convenient to explore inside and outside during this period." Listening to Daiyu's words, Jia Min's eyes lit up, adults and children are all raw faces, and they will not arouse any suspicion, and even if they are distant relatives, they will not be in contact often, I don't know that Grandma Sun followed her to the south, so she nodded with satisfaction. I called Mama Sun again and asked her carefully, although Mama Sun was surprised, but she also knew that her family was married to Jia Min, so she naturally wanted to focus on Jia Min, so she responded with a full mouth, and Daiyu told again: "Mama, I have two points to say." First, since the mother has to keep it secret, she must not say it. Seeing that Mama Sun nodded solemnly, she said again: "Second, you have to be fast, you have to go to Beijing before this Mama Lai." Although Jia Min and Grandma Sun didn't understand why they were in such a hurry, they both nodded in response. When Grandma Sun went out, Jia Min asked, "Why did Yu'er tell me why she had to rush ahead of everyone Lai?" Daiyu smiled: "How can there be a reason, it's just to bluff Grandma Sun." Jia Min laughed dumbly after hearing this, and only after a while did he say angrily: "The little guy of the ghost elf! Having said that, it was full of love.

After thinking about it, he said: "There is no grandma in Yu'er's house, and my mother is also negligent, but now I remembered that Grandma Sun has been with her mother for more than 20 years, and she has also dealt with some housework with Yu'er these days, and she is also familiar with her, so let her follow Yu'er in the future, okay?" Daiyu originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she nodded again, and then said: "Mother, it's better to be more generous, and give Lin Mo and his mother to me, Lin Mo was by Brother Yan'er's side before, and she is also a cute and clever person, and her mother is not bad." Jia Min didn't expect Daiyu to mention Lin Mo's mother, but after thinking about Lin Mo's family, the population is simple, and his mother is also a clean and neat person, so he also nodded and agreed.

So far, there have been many people in Daiyu's room: the big girl Jin'er, the second-class maid Zhixuan, Hanxiao, and the third-class little maid are even more: heather, lily of the valley, snow goose, green crane, Jichun, and a Yinglian who has just been bought. This is coupled with Grandma Sun and Aunt Lin. It can be said that four generations of the old, middle-aged and young are gathered.

After finishing the sacrificial stove and other things in the evening, Jia Min told Lin Ruhai about the letter from her mother's family, and talked about what Daiyu said, she has a good relationship between husband and wife, and she doesn't want to hide anything, and after more than ten years of husband and wife, Lin Ruhai also knows that her mother's eldest brother is not angry, so she said: "First sister-in-law and I are good friends, you know, the eldest brother is not in tune, and you also know that my mother prefers the second brother." It's just that my sister-in-law's family had a very unpleasant quarrel with my mother-in-law because of the death of my sister-in-law, and I don't know what happened now. Today's mother's letter, did not mention my sister-in-law's only son Lian'er, Wang's personality I know, look at the eyebrows and kind eyes but the heart is ruthless, now she is in charge of the house, I am a little worried that Lian'er in her hands is afraid that it is not good, why don't you go to Beijing to write to ask your classmates and old friends, to see what is the situation at home? Lin Ruhai lost his face when he thought of the greedy and lustful uncle, and sneered: "It's not that you don't know your eldest brother, what is there to inquire about?" Besides, the second uncle is the most upright person, and it is difficult to treat his own nephew badly, that is, the Wang family is not good, and the second uncle is always good. Jia Min was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't want to be unhappy with Lin Ruhai because of these things, so he said: "It's not for the eldest brother, it's just for my eldest sister-in-law who went early, and how can Lian'er also attack the lord in the future, if there is a bad one, what will happen in the future?" For the sake of my sister-in-law's heart, can't I send a letter to inquire for me? After speaking, he glanced at Lin Ruhai out of the corner of his eye, Lin Ruhai saw her so insistent, and heard her say this, and it didn't take much to think about it. After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai did not write to inquire, but sent his confidant family members to Beijing to investigate, which is not mentioned for the time being.
