Chapter 332: Red Mansion (7)
The two heroines of "Dream of Red Mansions", Yao Huang likes them very much. Sister Lin's noble and dusty is admirable; Xue Baochai's sophistication is also annoying. Yao Huang had more contact with people in society in his previous life, and he preferred to deal with a "well-rounded" person like Xue Baochai, which was much easier than always thinking about Sister Lin's sensitive mind. At this time, Xue Baochai's father, the head of the Xue family, was still there, although Xue Baochai's identity was lower, but her father used silver to open the way for her, and Jia Zhen sold her son very happily. Yao Huang sent a letter to Father Xue in the name of Jia Yu, reminding him of his son's upbringing. As for whether Father Xue will adopt it, and whether Xue Pan will grow into a dumb overlord, Yao Huang no longer cares.
"Madam, a letter from Yangzhou."
Yao Huang opened the letter, which was written by Jia Min. Jia Min's body has run out of oil and crying, she is afraid that she will have no one to take care of her daughter after she dies, so she wants to send her daughter back to her parents' house and ask Yao Huang to help take care of her. When the original body married into Rongguo Mansion, Jia Min had not yet married, and the two got along very well, and in Jia Min's heart, Yao Huang was more reliable than her two elder brothers.
"Call Jia Yun to me." Yao Huang instructed Ginkgo.
Yao Huang originally wanted Jia Lian to go to Yangzhou to pick up Sister Lin like the original book, but just as he was about to call someone, he thought that he was about to come to the meeting, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu were busy studying, so they changed their words. Because of his liking for the original characters, Yao Huang took good care of Jia Yun. Jia Yun's father died early, and the two mothers and sons had no source of livelihood, Yao Huang let Jia Yun's mother be in charge of needlework and spinning, and she was able to receive one or two silver wages every month, which was enough for the mother and son to have a surplus of their usual expenses, which was many times better than the predicament of Jia Yun in the original book who had to borrow money to buy gifts. No longer worried about life, the fifth sister-in-law sent Jia Yun to study at home - as early as a few years ago. Yao Huang pleaded with Jia Yu to come forward. Work with Jia Jing to rectify the family study. set aside Jia Dairu and made him the nominal head of the school, and the real person in charge of teaching were two retired Hanlin who were strict and had real talents. Jia Dairu was not dissatisfied with the seizure of power, he had money and leisure, and he just happened to teach his only grandson Jia Rui. The atmosphere of the school has improved, and no one has tempted Jia Rui to gamble for money, and his grandfather is watching closely, Jia Rui has no chance to become bad. There are achievements in reading, and Jia Lian and Jia Zhu have won the examination, although the ranking is only a little higher than Sun Shan, it is enough to comfort Jia Dairu Laohuai - Jia Yun is not the material for reading, and after barely passing the exam, he did not study, but opened a shop with Ni Jingang. Jia Yun is quite capable in doing business, so Yao Huang handed over several shops in Rongguo Mansion to Jia Yun to take care of, and let him be responsible for part of the external affairs of Rongguo Mansion. Jia Yun is extremely grateful to Yao Huang, and she is also very dedicated to doing things.
Three months later, Jia Yun brought Sister Lin back to Rongguo Mansion. Yao Huang asked people to open the side door and welcome Sister Lin into the mansion. After a while, the mother-in-law and maids walked in with a little pink carved loli. Little Lori is picturesque. Wearing a pink butterfly dress, he already has a graceful charm at a young age.
"Daiyu greets her aunt!" The attitude and demeanor are calm and elegant, without the caution in the original book, which makes Yao Huang raise his eyebrows, interesting!
"Hurry up!" Yao Huang asked Ginkgo to help Sister Lin up, pulled her to her side and asked carefully about the hardships along the way. The gentle and loving attitude made Sister Lin's eyes redden. Yao Huang patted Sister Lin's little hand, "Good boy, don't be sad, your aunt will love you in the future." Come, my aunt will introduce my sister and sister to you. This is your eldest brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, this is your second sister Yingchun, your third sister Tanchun, and your fourth sister cherishing spring. ”
Sister Lin greeted Li Kun and Sanchun with each other, recognized each other, and returned to their seats.
"Aunt, this is 50,000 taels of silver, which is the living expenses prepared by my father for me, please accept it." The maid next to Sister Lin held a few silver tickets and presented them to Yao Huang.
Yao Huang was slightly surprised, and then accepted it with a smile. She secretly looked at Sister Lin and the people she brought, and found that although Sister Lin was more calm and cheerful than in the original book, she was still a little girl; The little maid beside her is not as calm as a child, and her temperament is not like that of a subordinate, Yao Huang's target is to lock on this woman.
"What's the name of a very nice kid?" Yao Huang asked with a smile.
"Aunt Hui, her name is Xuejuan, and she is my eldest maid." Sister Lin hurriedly replied.
Xuejuan? There is no such person in the original book. Yao Huang asked, "Do you have enough people to serve around you now?" ”
"Enough, my father prepared two big maids, four little maids, and two grandmothers for me."
Lin Ruhai would definitely not have thought about it so thoughtfully, and the appearance in front of him was probably suggested by this Xue Juan. This kid was a fan of Sister Lin before he crossed over, right?
"Then I don't have to send anyone to you!" Yao Huang smiled, "I asked people to clean up the Lixiang Courtyard, and I originally said that I was only afraid that the space would be empty, but now it's okay, there are so many of you who can fill the courtyard." Daughter-in-law Zhu, you can send a few more cleaners. ”
"Yes!" Li Kun should go down.
Yao Huang saw Xue Juan's eyes flash with surprise again, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Eldest aunt, how is the old ancestor and the second aunt? I'd like to visit them. ”
"Your ancestor and second aunt are not in good health, and they have not seen outsiders for a long time, but you are different, they are all your own children, and they must be very happy to see you." Yao Huang laughed, "But it's getting late today, so it's better to go again tomorrow!" ”
Sister Lin nodded yes.
After gossiping for a while, the maid reported that the dinner table had been set, and Yao Huang took Sister Lin and the others to the table to eat. Li Kun is not Yao Huang's serious daughter-in-law, and Yao Huang will not let her make rules, Li Kun walked to Xichun's hand and sat down. The dishes on the dinner table were all some easy-to-digest foods, which surprised Xue Juan again. Her eyes kept lingering on Yao Huang, and she had already set the target of her suspicion on Yao Huang.
After the meal, there was naturally no such thing as serving tea, and after everyone spoke for a while, Yao Huang let people disperse and let Sister Lin go back to Lixiangyuan to rest.
"Xuejuan, Rongguo Mansion is not like the Longtan Tiger's Den you said, the eldest aunt and sister are very good." There were only two people in the house, the master and servant, and Sister Lin said to Xue Juan, "You, it's too worrying." ”
Xue Juan smiled reluctantly: "I don't know the true situation of the Rongguo Mansion in Ludao, but it seems that the eldest lady is indeed a good person today." It's just that we are always guests, and it's better to be thoughtful than to be bullied! The old man is so far away in Yangzhou, if the girl is bullied, we don't know who to cry to!
