When busy, time always flies very fast, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Hai and Jia Min's family have been back in Beijing for half a year. The weather in Kyoto is different from that in that spring comes late and winter comes early, and it is only the end of October, when the rivers are already frozen and the snow is falling.

Daiyu grew up in Jiangnan, and some of them couldn't stand the cold in Kyoto, so they caught a cold as soon as winter and fell ill in bed. Jia Min was a little flustered, pressed her daughter on the bed, and easily refused to let her get up. The imperial doctor, the famous doctor invited one after another, and the decoction was so bitter that Daiyu couldn't say anything.

"I'm fine, but my mother just won't let me go." Daiyu wore a silver-red jacket and an apricot yellow cotton skirt, sat on the couch with one hand on her cheek, and talked to the people who came to visit her.

Tanchun chuckled and said: "This is my aunt who loves you, I'm afraid that you won't have a good peace, and it will get colder and colder, and it will become more and more serious, and it will not be you who will suffer at that time." ”

Daiyu smiled: "I know what I do." Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for coming to see me. She raised her hand and pointed out the window, "It snowed a lot before, and my brother asked people to pile up all kinds of snow sculptures in the garden. It's just that I can't go out, but you have rewarded it, come back and tell me, and I'll see it too. ”

Yingchun smiled: "It's cold outside, I don't really want to move, what about the third sister and the fourth sister?" ”

Tanchun wanted to take a look, and she turned her head to look at Xichun. Xichun is the youngest, and it is the time to have fun, so he nodded at the moment, "I heard Sister Lin say something interesting, I want to go and see it." ”

Yingchun hurriedly said: "Dress tightly, don't freeze." ”

Daiyu turned her head and instructed the girl to bring the hand stove and gloves, Tanchun smiled: "Sister Lin doesn't have to be busy, we all take it." ”

They were busy changing their clothes here, and a young and delicate young woman in an apricot red and gold jacket and a green and yellow silk skirt stepped in lightly. Daiyu and the Spring Festival sisters hurriedly got up to salute and called them by their sisters-in-law.

But it was two months ago. Lin Ruicai married his new wife Yang Fei. She is the second daughter of Yang Ze, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and she is a twin sister with the crown princess of the East Palace, and her face is the same, but when Yang Fei smiles, the dimples on her face are on the right, and the princess's is on the left.

Yang Fei hurriedly smiled and pressed a few people back, "Mrs. asked me to tell a few girls that the plum blossoms in the garden have bloomed, and there are snow and ice sculptures they made." If the girls are bored, they go to the garden. Drunken Moon Fast, I have asked people to cage the fire in advance. When the house is hot, you are tired of shopping, so you go directly to where to rest. ”

When Daiyu heard her sister-in-law's words, she hurriedly smiled and asked, "Mother allowed me to go?" ”

Yang Fei nodded, "Imperial Doctor Xu said that the girl is already well, and Mrs. Xu agreed to let her sister go shopping, but it can't be too long." She said, winking quietly at Daiyu. Daiyu immediately understood that this was her sister-in-law interceding for herself. She pursed her lips and smiled. He also blinked, signaling that he knew what he had said.

Speaking of which, Yang Fei and Sister-in-law Daiyu have a very good relationship, and neither of them is a stingy person. Usually talk and laugh, you let me, I respect you, it's difficult to have a bad relationship.

"Wear them together when you go out. It's cold outside. Yang Fei lifted the curtain and commanded outside, "You all come in." ”

Daiyu looked out curiously, and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law brought something good." It's still hidden outside, so we don't want to see it. ”

Yang Fei smiled: "It's indeed a good thing, but my wife asked me to send it over." ”

As she spoke, four girls rushed in, each holding a big sweater in her hand. They are all made of fine leather, but the outside is carved brocade forging, and the water is red.

"This is a new work in the house, and my wife asked me to send it to my sisters, and I am just right to wear it in this weather today." Yang Fei said with a smile.

Lin Ruhai has been in charge of the weaving house in Jiangnan for several years, and the clothes used at home are all of the best quality. In addition, after returning to the dynasty, Xiao Jin and the queen were rewarded, so this time to the Yingchun sisters, the clothes are luxurious, and they have not seen a few people in the family of the prince.

"Thank you sister-in-law for bothering." Daiyu brought the tea over with her own hands, "Sister-in-law eats tea, and the queen mother rewards me." After sending my father and mother yesterday, it was the first time I brewed it. ”

Yang Fei took the tea, "It's a good time to come today, I begged my sister for good tea, and there are no good things to be a sister-in-law, but I raised a few pots of narcissus to the point where I can see it, and I will send someone to send two pots to my sister after a while." ”

"By the way, Mrs. said, I'll have lunch at Zuiyue Zhai at noon today."

Daiyu smiled: "But Daddy and Brother are not coming back?" ”

"Well, the master has entered the palace, and the Xianggong has also gone to the East Palace, and he will never come back at noon." Yang Fei was embarrassed to say that her husband might not be able to come back at night. It was only after she got married that she realized how good her brother-in-law and her husband's relationship was, and she couldn't wait to be together every day.

Well, her brother goes to the East Palace every day. Gu's father said that there are ready-made teachers who don't rub anything for it, and it's really embarrassing. As for her, she would go to Mr. Yuan's place four times a month, listen to his lectures, and then take her homework to him for approval.

Mr. Yuan was very dissatisfied with his little apprentice, who was so open-minded and used himself as their tutor.

Lin Ruhai said: "I taught the four sons of the saint for you, and I didn't complain, you taught a daughter for me, so many grievances." Why don't we switch the two of us? ”

When Mr. Yuan heard this, he touched his nose and recognized it. He is still happy to teach a delicate and soft and extremely smart little girl. If he taught four bear children, he would be angry.

Their sister-in-law said affectionately, and a girl from the main courtyard came to pass the word, "Mrs. said, there is nothing wrong with her there, so grandma doesn't have to go over, let's play with the girls." ”

After Yang Fei and Daiyu lowered their hands to listen to the girl's words, they asked with a smile: "Why are you here, Xing'er?" ”

The girl in the pink cotton dress tilted her head, "The girl remembers the apricot." ”

Xing'er is in charge of Jia Min's courtyard to spread the word everywhere, and usually Jia Min has anything to say, and she is always called to come. Suddenly changed people today, Daiyu asked casually, not wanting that girl to be coquettish. If this kind of maid is in the Jia family, it may be normal, but in the Lin Mansion, it is very different.

Jia Min has always attached great importance to the relationship between the upper and lower levels, and it is not that she likes to be high and overpower. Rather, in such a class society. Sometimes equality and forgiveness are not really good for people. It is precisely because of the strict management of the head of the house that the servants up and down in the Lin Mansion have special rules and dare not make the slightest mistake.

Like just now, although Daiyu asked casually, the girl should also be willing to answer, instead of replying to Daiyu like a coquettish person.

Yang Fei and Daiyu glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke. After the girl finished speaking, she obviously knew that she had just done something wrong. The little face was pale, and his eyes looked at Yang Fei and Daiyu in a panic.

Daiyu finally relented, "Okay, you go back and tell your wife, my grandmother and I know everything." ”

"Yes." The girl quickly retreated.

On the side, the three people of Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun were shocked to watch. I have long known that my aunt's house has strict rules, but I didn't expect it to be so strict, and I can't even joke casually.

Since Yang Fei doesn't have to go to Jia Min's side to study. The five of their sisters-in-law hurriedly dressed and walked to the garden with a group of girls and mothers-in-law.

Jia Min finished sorting out everything at home, and called the big girl Cherry who was close to him to command. "Look, it's not too early, you go to the kitchen and take a look, you can get what I ordered in the morning."

Cherry answered, draped in a half-new faded red coat. And he went out. The girl who happened to go to Daiyu's courtyard to spread the word came back, and she ran into a cherry head-on, she came over with a smile and asked, "It's such a cold day." Where is my sister going? Why don't you tell me, I'll run for my sister. ”

Cherry straightened her complexion and lowered her voice slightly: "Why don't you live in peace, relying on the face of your father and mother, I went to my wife's side to wait, not to mention the rules and regulations, learn more, see more and talk less, until I don't know who to learn from." If you go on like this, let your wife rush home sooner or later. ”

The girl's face turned white at Cherry's words, and her thin white teeth bit her red lips, and she slowly lowered her head.

"Although your father is the steward of this house, there are many daughters in the house, and all of them have to be honest. Not to mention a girl like you, it's a steward like your father, and my wife doesn't know how much Lu Dao has lost over the years. "Cherry and this girl are more or less related, so I told her bitterly.

"I know, thank you sister for telling me." The girl hung her head and whispered.

Cherry still had something to do, so she didn't stand much and hurried out.

"Nianqiu is back." Carambola was packing up the account book with the girl, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a girl dressed in rose pink, listlessly walking into the house. "What's the matter, who made you angry?" Star fruit asked with a smile.

Nianqiu said with a disgusted expression: "No one makes me angry." With that, he went straight inside. A sneer flashed across the carambola's face, and she lowered her head and went to her own business.

"Madame, grandmother and girl, and the three cousins have gone to the garden." Nian Qiu said softly.

Jia Min was leisurely flipping through a book, listening to Nianqiu's words, raised his eyes to look at it, and said with a smile: "It's Nianqiu, are you still used to being on an errand?" "This girl named Nianqiu is the daughter of the housekeeper who stayed behind before. Jia Min saw that he was quite diligent in his work, and he didn't take advantage of the situation to gain power, and after returning to Beijing, he rewarded him heavily. Steward Li has two daughters, and he wants to come into the mansion to wait, and his daughter-in-law even begged Jia Min. Jia Min nodded indispensably, the youngest daughter stayed by her side, and the eldest daughter gave it to her daughter-in-law.

"Mrs. Xie thought, the slave is all right." Nian Qiu blessed his body and replied happily.

Jia Min asked a few words idly, and saw that the smile on Nianqiu's face became brighter and brighter, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked. Cherry came back after a while and replied to Jia Min: "Aunt Wan asked me to go back to Mrs. Wan, the soup base you ordered is boiled." Fresh brains, various meatballs, and side dishes are also ready. ”

"Tell someone to say it, and I'll send it in at noon." Jia Min asked the girl to take Da Mao's cloak, hold the stove, and also go to the garden. On this day, she took her daughter-in-law, daughter, and niece to spend an afternoon in the garden, and returned in the evening.

The three Yingchun sisters told her to stay, and sent someone to Jia's house to tell Jia's mother.

Mother Jia heard that the Yingchun sisters were left behind by Jia Min, and said with a smile: "Let them be happy for a few days, and they don't have to be busy coming back." Dubaoyu was unhappy, he got up early to go to school, and the Yingchun sisters went to visit Daiyu, but he didn't catch up.

Speaking of which, since Lin Ruhai and Jia Min returned to Beijing, Baoyu's studies have not been interrupted for a day. Jia's mother still listened to Jia Min's words and didn't ask for leave for Baoyu. It's just that when he comes back at night, he doesn't care much, but she doesn't care much. At this time, in the Jia family study, classes are taught by serious gentlemen. The management is very strict. Several gentlemen sitting in the hall are also very serious. If you don't review your homework, or if you don't have a good back of your book, you will play a handboard. Baoyu has been pampered since he was a child, and although he is often taught by his old man, he has not been beaten a few times. In the past six months, Mother Injia has not protected him much, and he has taught Mr. several times.

Today, because of the fact that he was in class, his heart was not in trouble. He was beaten ten times. When I came back from school at night, I stuck to Jia's mother and coquettishly and refused to go again.

Mother Jia looked at Baoyu's somewhat red and swollen left hand, and was really distressed, so she ordered someone to get an ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain, and apply it to him. scolded angrily: "This gentleman is too ruthless, Baoyu is a child, but he is greedy for play, so let him fight like this." "She's scolding here. but refused to call for someone to scold the gentleman.

Mrs. Wang was serving Jia's mother here, and she was naturally distressed when she saw her son being beaten. I went back in the evening and saw my husband. took advantage of the opportunity to mention it, and also took Jia's mother's words: "The old lady is not happy, and I said that Mr. is also stricter." ”

Jia Zheng's face sank, "You want me to say." The gentleman is still forgiving. Like Baoyu, he only hit the hand ten times, and it couldn't be lighter. "Finished. He was also impatient to stay in Mrs. Wang's main room, and as soon as the teacup was put down, he went straight to Aunt Zhao's room. When Mrs. Wang saw it, she hated it in her heart, but her face was light, and she asked the girl to clean up her things, fetch water, wash and rest.

I woke up early the next day, the weather was excellent, and the warm spring breeze brought the slightest fragrance of flowers. Mother Jia was happy to see it, and ordered someone to pick up Xiangyun and Daiyu to come over to play for a few days. Baoyu listened, where was she willing to go to school, twisted her body and leaned on Jia's mother to be coquettish, but she refused to go.

Mother Jia easily coaxed people away, looked at Baoyu with a straight face, left very reluctantly, and sighed long, "This kid, everything is fine, why don't you like to read." ”

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Brother Bao is only so old, it is the time to be naughty, and with self-discipline like Cousin Lin, there can be a few in the world." ”

Jia Mu smiled, "That's right. Putting aside Baoyu's matter, he said to Sister Feng'er: "Yu'er and Yun'er will come in a while, you ask someone to clean up the house carefully, arrange it, and I will keep them for two more days." ”

"Ancestor, don't worry, I sent someone to clean it yesterday, and I'll go to see it in person later, Guan Bao asked Sister Shi and Sister Lin to live comfortably." Sister Feng hurriedly smiled and spoke.

Jia Mu nodded, "I can rest assured that you do something." ”

Sister Feng went out of Jia's mother's courtyard, and deliberately went to the courtyard where Xiangyun and Daiyu were going to live, and saw that everything was in order, so she came to Mrs. Wang's courtyard. Caiyun was standing under the porch, and when she saw Sister Feng coming over, she didn't use the little girl, she opened the curtain herself, and said with a smile: "The second grandmother is here." ”

"Is Madame there?" Sister Feng asked.

"Yes." Caiyun came in behind Sister Feng, "I just received a letter from Aunt Xue's wife, my wife is very happy." ”

Sister Feng heard that it was her other aunt who wrote a letter, and she also smiled on her face, so she entered the house, but saw Mrs. Wang's eyebrows tightly locked and her face sad. She hurriedly went over and asked, "What's the matter, madam?" ”

Mrs. Wang sighed, "It's not your aunt's son, it's in trouble again." ”

Sister Feng hurriedly asked what was going on, and Mrs. Wang said long and short. It turned out that Master Xue died of illness the year before last, and his wife Wang took his children to keep filial piety. Because of the decree issued at the beginning of last year, I wanted to choose some daughters of famous eunuchs to accompany the palace lord and county lord to enroll in school. Wang's heart was moved, and Brother Yang registered for his daughter, and wrote a letter to Mrs. Wang, planning to take his children to Beijing.

In addition to the matter of his daughter Baochai, and then after Master Xue went, all the compradors in the provinces undertook the bureau and the general manager, etc., bullied Xue Pan into being young and ignorant of the world, and the Wang family was an inner housewoman, and she didn't understand the affairs outside, so she took the opportunity to kidnap him, and several businesses in Kyoto gradually consumed. Xue Pan Su Mu is a traditional place in the capital, and he wants to visit. I took this opportunity to send it to be selected, second, to see relatives, and third, to personally enter the department to write off the old accounts, and then calculate the new expenses.

In this way, Wang's inspection line is dressed in fine and soft clothes to feed relatives and friends, such as colors, soil, people, and other things, and is choosing a date. I don't want to, when Xue Pan and a group of gentlemen drank and practiced wine, they clashed with others because of a play. He drank so hard that he ordered the slave to struck to death the man who had offended him.

"Tell me, Pan'er, this kid has to be bold in most of his words, and if he says he will kill someone, he will kill him. Your aunt was so anxious that she hurriedly asked someone to send a letter. Mrs. Wang thumped her chest, only to feel that it was very blocked.

Sister Feng hurriedly asked, "Can you send a letter to your father?" ”

"Definitely."

"I wonder what my father means?" Sister Feng frowned.

Mrs. Wang said: "No matter what, we have to settle the lawsuit first, and we can't watch Pan'er being arrested." ”

But he said that the prefect of Jinling was Jia Yucun, and he was still like in the book, bending the law with favoritism. arbitrarily judged the case, and hurriedly repaired a letter with the Jingying Festival to make the prince Teng. When the letter arrived, it happened that the prince was promoted, became the ruler of the nine provinces, and was ordered to go out of the capital to check the border. He sent a letter to Mrs. Wang, and invited his brother-in-law Jia Zheng to come over and entrust his nephew Xue Pan, "Pan'er's child lost his father when he was a teenager, and he inevitably lost his discipline." When he entered Beijing, he also asked his sister-in-law to teach on his behalf. ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly responded. When I went home, I discussed with Mrs. Wang, "My aunt is old, my nephew is young, I don't know how to do things, and I am afraid that I will have trouble if I live outside." It's better to let them live in the Lixiang Courtyard in the southeast corner of the house, and ask Pan'er to go to our school to take classes, and you can also restrain him. ”

Mrs. Wang was thinking about leaving her sister's family behind, and after hearing Jia Zheng's words, how could she not follow. Hurriedly nodded yes.

Within a few days, Aunt Xue really brought her son and daughter to Jiafu, and when the sisters met, they had a lot of affection.

Jia's mother is old. I like to be lively, and I love young and beautiful girls. Coincidentally, Aunt Xue has a daughter named Baochai who is beautiful. The character is good, I have been here for a few days, and I get along very well with the Yingchun sisters and the Baoyu brothers. During the day. In addition to studying and doing needlework with the Yingchun sisters, they went to Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang to flatter and joke, which was very popular with the two.

On this day, the peonies in the garden were in full bloom, and Jia's mother missed her daughter and grandson and granddaughter again. Under the pretext that the peonies at home are blooming very well, I asked my daughter to bring her granddaughter back to have a good time.

Jia Min recently heard that the Xue family had entered Beijing, and smiled with Lin Ruhai: "We have only been back for a year, and the Xue family has arrived." Only this time, I don't know if there will be a good relationship. "Her daughter Daiyu has a father and a mother, and she doesn't know how happy she is. Although she was occasionally taken to live at home by Jia's mother, Jia Min gave her daughter enough people and easily did not allow Baoyu to get close to her daughter. She also often whispered in Jia's mother's ear, what kind of habitual son is like killing a child, so that Jia's mother no longer dares to ask Baoyu for leave and does not let him go to school.

With Jia Min's interference in the open, there really isn't much intersection between Daiyu and Baoyu, but they meet occasionally, just say a few words, and there is no childhood sweetheart that accompanies them day and night in the book.

Lin Ruhai sighed, "Do you say that the plot is really evil?" Before leaving, Xue Pan fought with others and killed people. ”

Jia Min: "......"

Lin Ruhai said: "Jia Yucun acted favoritism and settled the case gently. ”

Jia Min: "......"

Lin Ruhai looked at his wife and asked worriedly, "Madam, why don't you speak?" ”

Jia Min grinded his teeth and said hatefully: "You have time to worry about others, so you might as well take care of the bastard boy who thinks about your daughter every day!" ”

Xiao Jin didn't know what medicine Lu Dao had taken wrong, so he had to add the title of prince and young master to her husband, and also sent his four sons. It's nothing, in the past, Xiao Jin's son wandered around the Lin family. But who knows, the fifth prince who was reincarnated by daffodils, saw his daughter by chance, and it was like sticking to the bark of a tree, sticking to his daughter, and running to stay at home every day. He didn't go anywhere else, but sat down in front of her, and his eyes followed her.

At the mention of this, Lin Ruhai was also depressed, "I mentioned it to the sage, and he was very complacent and said, 'Look, do you want me to make an order now?' Damn, he knew that Xiao Jin's old boy was not well-intentioned. His delicate and delicate little daughter should not marry his narcissistic son as a wife.

Jia Min was so angry that he picked up the pillow and beat Lin Ruhai several times, complaining: "You recruited it." ”

Lin Ruhai was very aggrieved: "Who knew that he had this idea!" ”

Jia Min gritted her teeth, "I think the queen also means this." ”

"Ah, did the queen mention it to you?"

"Well, it's vaguely meaningful." The emperor and empress have an idea, and they really can't resist. Jia Min was ruthless and grabbed her husband's ears: "The kid on the left and right is also in your hands, teach him well!" Nima's, if you dare to beat my daughter's idea, if you don't teach you to be a wife and slave, I will wear it for nothing. (To be continued......)
