Chapter 38: Min and the Jade Thirty-Eighth
"Ancestor, don't cry on this festive day." Wang Xifeng looked at this scene and was almost done, and she hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Mother Jia.
Jia Mu took off the veil at this time, not to mention, this eye socket is really a little red.
"Alas, my sister is also miserable." Mrs. Wang sighed, but her psychology was a different idea, she still disliked that Jia Min had lived too long, but she finally left some benefits.
Hearing Mrs. Wang say this, Jia's mother's face did not change much, but she was not happy in her heart.
Fortunately, the mother-daughter relationship between herself and Jia Min is not deep, if it is really deep, when Mrs. Wang says this, it is tantamount to pouring salt into her heart, does she think that her old life is too long.
has been by Jia's mother's side for so many years, as soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang knew that she was hated by this old woman again, but it didn't matter if she arrived, she often came and went, anyway, she was already unpleasant, so it was good if she didn't tear her face up.
That's right, Mrs. Wang deliberately blocked Jia's mother, she wiped her tears as she spoke, and on the surface, she was really sad for Jia Min.
Although Mrs. Xing was dull, she also knew that something was wrong with the atmosphere at this time, she had been disliked too much by Jia's mother, and it was the best choice not to speak at this time.
At this moment, the room was instantly quiet, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Wang Xifeng was a clever person, looking at the somewhat embarrassing scene in front of him, he quickly diverted the topic, "I think that Miss Lin is nine years old this year, and she has never seen it, so I feel a little regretful in my heart." Now that I'm going to Jinling, I don't know when I'll be able to see each other. ”
Lin Daiyu has been weak since she was a child, Jia Min has never taken her back to her parents' house, and the people in Jiafu only know that this Jia Min gave birth to a brother and a sister, but no one has ever seen her.
Not to mention that it makes sense that the rights of this housekeeper are in the hands of Wang Xifeng, Jia's mother's thoughts, this Wang Xifeng has always been accurate.
In fact, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing came precisely for this reason, but one of them was angry, and the other did not dare to speak, so Wang Xifeng mentioned this first.
Now that Jia Min has gone, if you want to board Lin Ruhai's big ship, you can't do it without a handle in your hand, so everyone has set their eyes on Lin Daiyu.
It's just that if this Jia Mu didn't speak, how could the people in the family dare to put forward this idea first.
After all, Lin Daiyu has a father and a younger brother, so there is no reason to receive the Jia family to live.
"My poor boy." Thinking of Lin Daiyu, Jia Mu began to wipe her tears again.
"My ancestor, but don't hurt your body, look at my mouth, it's really looking for a fight." Wang Xifeng blamed himself, and was about to pat his mouth with his hand as he spoke, but his fingers were lightly raised, and he just made a look.
"It's not up to you, it's just that when people are old, they are always willing to think about these sad things." Jia Mu let out a long sigh and wiped a few tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Min'er is also gone, and the jade girl is not young anymore, and no one will always laugh at outsiders." Jia Mu said.
"With our Jia family here, who dares to laugh at the hearts of our ancestors." Wang Xifeng said angrily, as if he was going to fight with someone.
This pungent appearance amused Jia's mother, and when she smiled, she looked at the two "woods" sitting on the chair next to her.
I really don't know whose rush this Jia Mansion committed and married such two people back.
Looking at Jia's mother's eyes, Mrs. Wang stopped crying, originally to catch the big boat of Lin Ruhai, if she was upsetting this old guy, it would be the second room that suffered.
This Mrs. Wang immediately changed her face and echoed casually, "There are many sisters in Rongguo Mansion, it is better to bring this child here, and there are sisters playing on the side, it is better than being alone." ”
In fact, the purpose of Mrs. Wang's visit this time is this matter, although Lin Daiyu is Jia Min's daughter, which makes Mrs. Wang feel very unpleasant, but she can't stand Lin Daiyu's father or Lin Ruhai, if you want to catch him, you have to make friends with Lin Daiyu first.
"My daughter-in-law feels the same." As soon as Mrs. Wang's words fell, Mrs. Xing immediately expressed her position, looking like she was afraid that Mother Jia would forget her big house.
Jia Mu looked at the two of them with a smile, seeing that both of them wanted to take this errand on themselves, but unfortunately her old man was not confused, how could it be their turn in this matter.
"Otherwise."
"Otherwise."
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing spoke together, and the two glanced at each other, and these eyes seemed to be able to spark.
"Mandarin duck, go find Steward Lai." Jia Mu directly ignored the fight between the two and said unhurriedly.
As soon as Mother Jia said this, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing froze for a moment, and the two looked at Mother Jia one after another.
The mandarin duck on the side received the order, and after a while, this Lai Da came.
"The slave greets the old lady, the eldest wife, the second wife, and the second grandmother." After saluting, Lai Da raised his head and looked at Jia Mu with a smile on his face.
"Come on, come on, let you come today, I have something to explain to you." Jia Mu beckoned Lai Da to come over.
Lai Da got up and came to Jia Mu, with some doubts in his heart, although Jia Mu hadn't said what it was, Lai Da knew that it must not be a flattering errand.
If you want to ask Lai Da how he knows, just look at the faces of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing on the side, although there is no big change on his face, but he has been in this house for a long time, whether this person is really happy or fake sad, Lai Da can still see it very clearly.
"Aunt Lin's promotion, you go back to the second grandmother to the treasury to receive a congratulatory gift, and go to Yangzhou." Jia Mu said.
"The old lady is happy!" As soon as Jia Mu's voice fell, Lai Da came up with joy, knelt and bowed, not knowing what kind of big reward he received.
"Let your family go with you, seeing that Min'er's filial piety period is about to pass, so you can take Sister Yu to your side to raise you." Jia Mu continued.
Hearing this, Lai Da seemed to be stunned, Jia Mu had sent people several times before, and they were all closed, and Lai Da also knew this.
Therefore, it is a good errand to say that this errand is a good errand, and to say that it is a bad errand is also a bad errand.
But Mother Jia has given an order, this Lai Da has to take the order, fortunately, these times are different from the last few times, this sister Yu has already passed the filial piety period, and there should be no reason to send it away.
When Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing heard this, their hearts couldn't help but sink for a moment, not to mention, the two of them had a tacit understanding together, and they were cursing Mother Jia in their hearts.
Since there were no benefits to be gained, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing just exchanged a few words and left.
After watching them leave, Jia Mu snorted coldly, it seems that she has let go of herself a little bit more these days, and she has forgotten who has the final say in the entire Jia family!
After looking at Lai Da's side, after receiving the order, he asked Wang Xifeng to receive a list of congratulatory gifts, and it was clear that this time the Jia family had made a bloody investment, not to mention the gold and silver for the time being, ink smoke frozen stone ding, ink calligraphy and painting, fine soft silk and satin, and some Western gadgets, which were calculated to be seven or eight hundred taels of silver.
Lai Da's eyes narrowed into a slit, but it was a pity that this time there was a gift list, and he couldn't be greedy for ink casually, looking at those gold and silver things, Lai Da couldn't help but sigh, as if the white silver slipped out of his pocket like this.
Early the next morning, Lai Da took these congratulatory gifts and hired the best dart game and went to Suzhou.
Looking at the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruhai has to wait for the replacement official to come before he can go to Jinling to take office, and he will have to wait for three or four months.
Since Lin Daiyu got the news, she asked Luo Bu Zang Danjin to go to Jinling first, and the wings on Yangzhou's side have almost developed, Lin Daiyu withdrew a few contact points and asked them to go to Jinling with this Luo Bu Zang Danjin.
After Luo Buzang Danjin left, Lin Daiyu promoted Lao Shi to be the elder of the entire Yangzhou, responsible for the physical objects in the free faction, of course, Lin Daiyu was in charge of major matters.
It took almost two months before Lin Daiyu got rid of Yangzhou.
Calculating the time, another month and a month and a half, and the Najia family will be fine.
Lin Daiyu sneered, she had been rejected so many times, this time she gave them some face and let them pounce.
Inside the study.
"Yu'er wants to go to Jinling first?" Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Daiyu and asked, looking a little surprised.
Lin Daiyu nodded obediently, and her eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape.
"Zhiyuan is also going." Where is there Lin Daiyu, where is there less Lin Zhiyuan.
Although Lin Zhiyuan is now seven years old and taller than Lin Daiyu, the sister and brother are not rusty because of age. The feelings are even deeper.
Looking at Lin Ruhai's slightly frowning brows, Lin Daiyu stepped forward with a smile, her voice low and soft.
"Father, that Jinling is my mother's hometown, Yu'er and Zhiyuan want to go and see it."
As soon as Lin Daiyu moved Jia Min out, Lin Ruhai's expression softened a lot, "In a few months, just go with your father, why bother these days." ”
Let Lin Daiyu and Lin Zhiyuan go on the road alone, this Lin Ruhai can't let go of his heart.
"It will take some time to settle down, and Yu'er also wants to arrange the affairs of the new mansion first." When she said this, Lin Daiyu winked playfully, "By the way, take a look around with Zhiyuan." ”
"Father." Lin Zhiyuan also stepped forward and sprinkled coquettishly with Lin Daiyu.
Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Daiyu are on the left and right, and Lin Ruhai looks helpless.
"Good, good." couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of these two children, Lin Ruhai was finally defeated.
He wrote a letter in advance, asking the officials who received him there to pick up Lin Daiyu and Lin Zhiyuan in advance, and rushed there as soon as he finished the affairs here.
"Thank you, Father."
The two sisters and brothers gave Lin Ruhai a big gift together.
Lin Ruhai looked at his children a little helplessly, in front of them, he always couldn't refuse.
Lin Daiyu and Lin Zhiyuan retreated together, Lin Zhiyuan was very excited, and he had a few months to play happily, how could he not be excited.
Lin Daiyu also smiled at the corner of her mouth, Jinling, she is finally coming.
