Xiaoxiang is still sad at night, and Daimei is frowning lightly.

Lin Daiyu thought of the many things she had experienced during this time, and her sorrow turned into a sigh.

After she saw that Zijuan was fine, she asked Zijuan to rest first, while she wept silently in the room alone.

After Snow Goose was called by Lin Ruhai to question and came back that day, Snow Goose told Lin Daiyu about it.

Lin Daiyu heard from her father's words to Xue Yan, and her father had been vaguely asking Xue Yan if she and Baoyu had intimate behavior.

Lin Daiyu was extremely sad in her heart, she and Baoyu have been closer than other sisters in recent years, but she has always adhered to the bottom line and never dared to take a step beyond Lei Chi.

She has been taught by her mother since she was a child, and naturally knows the truth of male and female defense, but in the past few years, she has been in the Jia family, and only Baoyu cares about what she thinks.

She is naturally closer to Baoyu, and some intimate actions between the two are inevitable, but she has never been unethical.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu became more and more depressed in her heart, she knew that if her intimate behavior with Baoyu was spread, her reputation would be completely ruined.

Especially thinking that the Jia family loves to chew their tongues everywhere, I don't know what her reputation is now.

Thinking of Baoyu, Lin Daiyu was also sad in her heart, from her father's questioning, she could feel that her father wanted to ask her about her marriage.

In the past few years, she also felt that her grandmother wanted her to marry Baoyu, and she thought that her father would send her to Jia's family in the same way.

She also has a good impression of Baoyu, but the second aunt's attitude towards her makes her feel uncertain, and now there is a Xue Baochai in Jiafu, and she has a golden lock on her body to match Baoyu's jade, and the second aunt also supports Xue Baochai.

These things were all depressed in her heart, and she was depressed.

A few days later, Lin Rutuo asked his friend Xu Jingnian in Beijing to invite his nurturing grandmother to arrive in Yangzhou.

Mama Li, whom Lin Ruhai invited, also came out of the palace, and Mama Li's situation is very similar to Mama Qi, her family also died more than ten years ago, and she has been living alone since she came out of the palace.

Mama Li was a little reluctant when she first heard that she was going to Jiangnan, and later Mrs. Xu said that if she was well educated, the Lin family was willing to point a little maid for her to act as an adopted son and daughter, and to provide for her in old age, and Mama Li agreed.

She has lived for such an age, and now she is left with nothing to do after her death, and the bride money given by the Lin family is extremely generous, even if she can't support her in the Lin family, these silver are enough for her to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Lin Ruhai personally taught Mama Li, and was very satisfied with Mama Li's abilities in all aspects, so he immediately arranged for her to teach Lin Daiyu.

Once when Lu Zhiyu brought Mama Qi to find Lin Daiyu, Mama Qi saw Mama Li and immediately showed an extremely surprised expression, she didn't expect Mama Li to come to Jiangnan.

Mama Li's surprise was no less than that of Mama Qi, she just heard that Mama Qi was invited to Jiangnan, but she didn't expect the two to meet one day.

Although the two didn't know each other when they were in the palace, they knew each other after they came out of the palace, after all, they both served as the upbringing grandmother of the young lady in Beijing and were both people in the same circle, and it was inevitable that they would be compared by others, and the two were still competitors.

Mama Qi and Mama Li met in Jiangnan, which was regarded as an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and there was no estrangement in the past, they were extremely happy, and they each talked about the recent situation.

Upper capital, Rongguo Mansion.

Since Lin Daiyu left, the hearts of everyone in the Rongguo Mansion have settled down, the Jia family has always climbed high and stepped low, in the past, the old lady loved Daiyu, and everyone also followed to please, and now the old lady sent Lin Daiyu away, and there were some bad words about Lin Daiyu in the house.

Shi Taijun didn't pay much attention to it after he found out, thinking that he would wait for Daiyu to come back and then deal with these subordinates.

The first is to show everyone her attitude, no matter what happens to her granddaughter's family, Daiyu is her favorite granddaughter.

Second, she can beat her second daughter-in-law, and in the matter of Daiyu, she is extremely dissatisfied with the Wang family.

The Wang family tried every possible way to get rid of Daiyu, in the final analysis, they wanted her niece to marry Baoyu, the Xue family is only a businessman, how can they be worthy of Baoyu.

Now the big house and the second room are married to the women of the Wang family, and the Xue family now relies on the Wang family, if Baoyu marries the Xue family again, the back house of the Jia family will be controlled by the Wang family, which is something she will never allow.

Moreover, the Xue family is only a relative of the Wang family, and they have something to do with the second room of the Jia family, but they have been staying in the Jia family and not leaving.

In the past few years, she has looked down on the methods of the Xue family's mother and daughter, Xue Baochai has only been in the Jia family for a long time, and the house is praising her for how gentle and generous, talented, filial and sensible, and several of her own granddaughters have become her stepping stones.

After sending Daiyu away, she took Shi Xiangyun over, planning to match Xiangyun and Baoyu.

On May 12, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was busy with their own work, and suddenly a doorman came to report to Jia Zheng, saying that Master Xia, the eunuch of the six palaces in the palace, had come to announce the decree.

Jia Zheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Jia Yu, Jia Lian, Shi Taijun and others.

Jia Yu and the others also looked ugly, thinking that they were implicated by Lin Ruhai.

They didn't dare to slack off, they were busy arranging the Qi Xiang case, opening the middle door, and Jia Yu and Jia Zheng led their families to kneel on the ground to listen to the order.

Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, rode a jujube red horse to the front of the Rongguo Mansion, dismounted in front of the eaves, and many internal eunuchs followed.

Xia Shouzhong did not live up to the edict, he walked to the hall quite seriously, glanced at Jia Yu, Jia Zheng and others who were kneeling on the ground, and stood south and said: "Special purpose: immediately announce Jia Zheng's entry into the court, and see you in the Linjing Palace." ”

After Xia Shouzhong finished speaking, he declined the invitation of Jia Zheng and others, and he didn't have time to eat tea, so he rode a horse.

Jia Zheng was even more flustered when he saw Xia Shouzhong's performance, and he didn't know what was going on.

But the emperor has already decreed that he can only change his clothes and enter the court.

After Jia Zheng entered the court, Shi Taijun, Mrs. Wang and others were all panicked, they all thought that they were implicated by Lin Ruhai, and secretly scolded Lin Ruhai in their hearts for causing trouble, even affecting the Jia family, and on the other hand, they kept making people fly horses back and forth to report news.

After about two hours, Lai Da came back to report the good news: "On the orders of the old man, please quickly ask the old lady to lead the wife and others into the court to thank you!" ”

Shi Taijun was unsettled, standing under the corridor in the lobby, listening to Lai Da coming back to report the news, so he called in Lai Da to ask for details.

"The little ones are only waiting outside the Linjing Gate, and they can't know any information inside."

"Later, Eunuch Xia came out to say goodbye, saying that the eldest lady of our family was valued today a few days ago, and asked for it from the old lady, and now she is named the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, and she is crowned Concubine Xiande."

Everyone in the Jia family was overjoyed when they heard this, and Shi Taijun asked about Jia Zheng's whereabouts.

"The lord came out and ordered the little one to come back to report the good news, and now the lord has gone to the East Palace again."

"The old man also said that he would invite the old lady quickly and lead the ladies to thank him."

Shi Taijun and the others were all beaming with joy when they heard this, Wang Xifeng and others first complimented the old lady for raising a good granddaughter, and then complimented Mrs. Wang for being blessed and giving birth to a concubine.

Shi Taijun had a smile on his face, and he intuitively felt that the Jia family was extremely Tailai this time, although the son-in-law had an accident, but the granddaughter was valued by the emperor, so he ordered everyone to put on makeup according to the grade.

Three quarters of an hour later, Shi Taijun led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and You to enter the court in a large sedan chair.

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen also changed into court clothes, led Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to serve Shi Taijun's sedan chair.

Ning Rong was enthusiastic in both places, inside and out, all of them were proud, and the sound of laughter was endless.

was busy, and when it was time to Shen, everyone in Jiafu returned to the mansion.

Jiafu's old friends also heard the news, and there were many congratulators, and Jia Yu hurriedly arranged for people to have a banquet and wine to celebrate the event.

That night, in Shi Taijun's room, Shi Taijun, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang all looked quite unsightly.

Jia Zheng said with some joy: "I didn't expect my brother-in-law to not only be fine this time, but also reminded the emperor of our Jia family, which is a good thing for Yuanchun, and I have to thank my brother-in-law for this matter!" ”

After Jia Zheng inquired in many ways, Eunuch Xia told him that it was the saint who had recently investigated the affairs of Jiangnan and praised Lin Ruhai.

After asking who else was in the Lin family, he brought out the Jia family and asked about the situation, only to know that the daughter of the Jia family was a female official in the palace, and this was a good thing for the concubine.

"What should I do now, bring my niece back?"

Jia Yu didn't expect Lin Ruhai to be safe and sound this time, and he was rewarded by the saint, and the Jia family was also stained with light, although it was Yuan Chun in the second room who was crowned a concubine, but it was also the glory of the Jia family.

"Why don't I go to Yangzhou in person and compensate my brother-in-law, they are all close relatives, let's send Daiyu back, and we also plan for my niece!"

Jia Zheng has always had correspondence with Lin Ruhai, and he is confident that he can resolve Lin Ruhai's estrangement from the Jia family.

"It's not appropriate, although this time it's because of your brother-in-law, but after all, it doesn't matter much."

"If it weren't for Yuan Chun being outstanding, how could he be valued by the emperor, and it would still be the face of our house!" Shi Taijun flatly refused.

Although Concubine Yuanchun borrowed Lin Ruhai's light, Shi Taijun was still very dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai, and tried his best to separate the matter of Concubine Yuanchun from Lin Ruhai.

"Now the Zhen family still hates the Lin family, if you go over, won't it make the Zhen family's face unbearable."

"What my mother said is that my mother still sees it far-reaching!" Jia Yu hurriedly agreed.

He also didn't want to admit that this matter had anything to do with Lin Ruhai: "My son inquired that the Zhou family of the old lady of Nan'an was recently promoted, the Wu family of the old lady of Xining, and the Jiang family of the Hou of Pingyuan. ”

"Yes, it is still Yuanchun who is outstanding, which is why it is appreciated today, this time, except for the Wu family and us, who are generally crowned concubines, those two families are just nobles, and our Jia Mansion still has face."

Mrs. Wang has always thought that Yuan Chun is extremely outstanding, and this time she won the Jin Seal, and it has nothing to do with the Lin family.

Mrs. Xing has always been transparent, and no one listens to her opinions, so no matter what everyone says, she just echoes her master.

"I think it's good to let Lai Da go!" Shi Taijun said: "Now I don't know how your brother-in-law's health is, if it's not good, Lai Da can also stay to help Lian'er!" ”

Shi Taijun still thought about the property of the Lin family, since Lin Ruhai did not commit any crimes, then the property of the Lin family did not need to be transferred to the Zhen family, if Lin Ruhai went, they could directly transport it back to the Jia family.

"It's up to my mother!" Jia Yu heard what Shi Taijun meant, he coveted the Lin family's money, Lin Ruhai didn't have many days after all, and it was not worth offending the Zhen family, the king of Nan'an County and other world friends for him.

Jia Zheng thought about it and agreed, and planned to write a letter to Lin Ruhai in person to tell him the good news, and then talk to Lin Ruhai about the marriage of the two families.

"I think it's better to take this opportunity to invite those world friends over and celebrate with a drink." Jia Yu also suggested that he had suffered a lot of anger these days, and he just took advantage of the Jia family's momentum to show off.

Shi Taijun and the others all nodded in agreement, and then several people discussed who to invite, how to arrange the banquet, and so on.
