Chapter 23
As soon as Jia Mu's words came out, the faces of the people present were different.
Mrs. Wang originally expressed her dissatisfaction with Lin Daiyu through Tanchun's mouth, thinking that she paid too much attention to enjoyment and was too extravagant, but she didn't think that Mother Jia bluntly stated that this was the life that everyone should have, and took the opportunity to belittle Xue Baochai. Mrs. Wang said that this is a dignified and stable family. But Jia's mother said directly that the place where the widow lived was not so plain, which made Mrs. Wang and the Xue family shameless.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue had purple faces, looking like they dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and Jia Tanchun was also red-faced, bowing his head and saying nothing. On the contrary, it was Xue Baochai, like a nobody, as if it was not her who pointed out that Jia Mu was scolding Huai. When Mrs. Wang saw it, she loved it even more. Even Mother Jia saw it, and sighed at the depth of her city.
Lin Daiyu was already delicate, how could she not know that this was Mrs. Wang accusing herself through Jia Tanchun's mouth. His eyes were red at the moment.
At such a time, it should have been the time when Wang Xifeng came out to talk, but Wang Xifeng went out to check the preparations for the banquet, but he was not there. Jia Baoyu had the heart to adjust a few words, but he didn't know what to say. I had to scratch my ears and cheeks in a hurry.
When Shi Xiangyun saw it, he said with a smile: "In the end, Sister Lin is a person who is loved by her father, and Uncle Lin is far away in office, and she is still worried about whether Sister Lin lives well and uses it well!" What a father's heart! Sister Lin can't live up to Uncle Lin's heart! Alas, I pity me, a fatherless and motherless man, who can only look at the heat of my eyes. โ
Lin Daiyu's grievances were washed away by Shi Xiangyun's words, and she laughed out loud, "If Sister Yun is envious, I will write to my father and ask him to recognize you as my goddaughter, so that Sister Yun also has the love of her father?" Luckily? โ
Xue Baochai was already a little shaky because Shi Xiangyun's words hit her vulnerability, and when she heard Lin Daiyu's words, she was even more pale, what she cared about most was her background, Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun, one is the daughter of a second-class master, from a noble background, and the other from a Houmen family, and the two of them dumped themselves in terms of identity I don't know how far away. Compared with them, the only advantage is that his mother and brother are still there, but he forgot that although Lin Daiyu does not have a mother and brother, her father is his own family!
After hearing this, Mother Jia's heart moved, yes, if the Lin family and the Shi family are united, then even if Yuanchun has a future in the future, with the support of the Lin family and the Shi family, she and the Wang family can also fight in the mansion!
"That's a good idea! Yun'er is open-minded and generous, Yu'er is careful and sensible, you are all good, if you can really contribute to this, then you will be closer again, you are really sisters! โ
Lin Daiyu actually had such an idea for a long time, except for her father, she has no other brothers and sisters, usually Sanchun and Baoyu, it is inevitable that her heart is sour, although Sister Yun and herself have no direct blood relationship, they can always vote for the deed, if they really become sisters, it will be more convenient to go back and forth in the future. Moreover, she also has selfish intentions, if Sister Yun really has the method of strengthening her body, with such a relationship, she thinks that her father can also benefit. Even Sister Yun herself has an extra father-in-law, and she will have more protection in the future.
Lin Daiyu has gone through the โกโก of Jiang and Wei, and she is no longer the girl in the original book who is sensitive and suspicious and angry because she is under the fence, she has already begun to learn housekeeping with Jiang and Wei, and she has long understood that the dark tide is surging under the calm appearance of Jiafu. Lin Daiyu understands very well the situation of herself and Sister Yun, especially Sister Yun, who looks illustrious, but is actually inferior to herself. Although she was born in a two-marquis family, she has no father and no mother, her family is her uncles, and her father was still burdened with stigma before his death.
In such an environment, although the Shi family will not treat her badly, and even for the sake of fame, her marriage will definitely be more prominent than other girls in the Shi family in the future, but this is only the surface of the scenery, what is the inside, who knows! Although he has no mother, and now he is under the fence, his father is still there, and he can still plan for himself, and the situation is much better than Sister Yun. Sister Yun is sincere to herself, and she also wants to repay her sincerely, this is the way to get along with people.
Compared with the girl of the Xue family, although the situation is also very pitiful and lamentable, she always feels like something mixed with her interactions. She doesn't repay her sincerity, why should she be sincere, and she is not the Holy Mother that Sister Yun said!
"My grandmother thinks it's good, doesn't she? Sister Yun, what about you? Would you like to? If you wish, I'll write to my father! There will be a response within a month. Lin Daiyu said with a smile and looked at Shi Xiangyun's eyes.
Shi Xiangyun's heart was a little sour, Nima, who is saying that Sister Lin is sensitive and suspicious! She tore her! Is it obvious that she is such an empathetic and considerate girl?
Shi Xiangyun is not hypocritical, she knows what it means to have an extra father-in-law, especially as a second-class member of the imperial court. "Okay, I'm also looking forward to Sister Lin becoming real sisters!"
Jia Mu was overjoyed, and smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, well, now it's all four!" If your father agrees, your ancestors will pay for a few tables for you to confess your relatives. "Where didn't she know, since Lin Daiyu had already spoken, she must have already talked to Lin Ruhai in advance, and this matter could be done โกโก points!
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were stiff, they originally wanted to ask Shi Xiangyun to help contact the Nan'an Wangfu because of the Xue family's business matters, but they were a little disdainful that Lin Daiyu's food and clothing were higher than Xue Baochai's everywhere, so they signaled Jia Tanchun to speak, thinking that it would be enough to squeeze a few words, but they knew that so many things were involved.
Aunt Xue regretted dying, she knew that Lin Daiyu would come to this play, so she wouldn't follow her sister to target Lin Daiyu. If Lin Ruhai recognized Hai'er as a righteous daughter, Hai'er became the righteous daughter of a second-class master, and had such a relationship with the Lin family. If nothing else, the old lady will not be so opposed to the matter of Jin Yu Liangyuan. Hai'er married into the Jia family's identity, and it matched. Now, she let the Shi girl pick up a bargain in vain.
Yingchun is better, she has always been an invisible person, she will only be silent when she encounters things, Xichun is still young, and she is the daughter of Ningfu, there is nothing to be inferior to her identity, only Jia Tanchun, looking at Shi Xiangyun's eyes are about to burst into flames! Although Shi Xiangyun was born in Shihou Mansion, she has no father or mother in the end, and the two Shihou may not really make decisions for her, and what will happen in the future, they may not be much better than themselves.
But now Sister Lin has made such a fuss, Shi Xiangyun is the young lady of the Gonghou family, and now there is another powerful official as her father-in-law, and in the same way, Sister Lin also has more relatives in the Shihou Mansion. It's a win-win situation for both of them!
It's just that why Sister Lin only chose Sister Yun, not herself! Isn't it because of Sister Yun's background! Jia Tanchun was indignant in her heart, at this time she subconsciously forgot about her estrangement from Lin Daiyu and her closeness to Xue Baochai on weekdays, and only pushed all the mistakes on Lin Daiyu's dislike of poverty and love for wealth and Shi Xiangyun's greed for vanity. After that, he finally went further and further down the wrong path, and finally fell into the mud and couldn't extricate himself.
And the most shocked on the field was none other than Xue Baochai. She has been carefully raised by her father as a man since she was a child, and she has always been conceited, thinking that the future of the entire Xue family is on her shoulders, so in the face of Lin Shi and the others, Xue Baochai subconsciously ignored it, or she didn't want to confront them head-on, because she was not here. What's the point of competing between boudoirs? My vision is never on this one-third of an acre!
But now, in order to stand up for herself, my aunt asked the three girls to provoke Sister Lin with words, but the situation was reversed by Jia's mother's words, not to mention, and also promoted Lin Shi and the two to get married!
For a while, Rao is Xue Baochai didn't want to compete with Lin Shi and the others, but he didn't feel good in his heart. She raised her eyes and glanced at Aunt Xue, who had something to say, and shook her head slightly, Aunt Xue saw it and lowered her head indignantly.
After a while, Wang Xifeng walked in in a hurry, and was stunned when she saw this situation, she knew that something must have happened, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. It's just that, looking at the situation, it seems that the old lady has the upper hand. Alas, in a few days I will have to see my aunt's face again. However, she is my aunt in the end, and she has always been kind to herself, otherwise, how can she marry into Jiafu if she loses her father and daughter! Up and down the house, only I, Wang Xifeng, can meet the source left and right, and the two must not be offended.
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Hey, I'll just say it, the eldest sister's birthday doesn't have to be a big deal." The old ladies and ladies all said they wanted to do it big. You see, I regretted it before the table started, or I will return all the gifts you gave, set up a few more tables by myself, and ask a troupe to make amends? โ
Xue Baochai reacted first, and laughed out loud, "Oh, what words in this world have changed when they reach Sister Feng's mouth." We just listened to a story and were fascinated for a while, how can it be like what Sister Feng said! It's just a few things, where do you regret it? โ
Wang Xifeng pretended to be relieved, patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good." Let's tell you the truth, in fact, I can't bear it, when the thing is in my hand, and then take it out, it will be like ripping out my heart! Fortunately, I don't regret it. โ
Wang Xifeng's singing and beating soon reversed the stiff atmosphere, everyone was happy again, Jia's mother hugged Jia Baoyu and couldn't straighten her waist with a smile, Shi Xiangyun also smiled and fell into Lin Daiyu's arms, Lin Daiyu wanted to be careful to hug Shi Xiangyun to prevent her from falling, and rubbed her stomach with her hands, it hurt!
Sanchun also smiled back and forth, Li Kun couldn't help laughing, and she had to take care of the old lady, she laughed too much, and she was angry.
Mrs. Wang also smiled and only wiped her tears with a handkerchief, while Aunt Xue laughed and was frightened. Alas!
