March 21, Lin House.

Lin Daiyu received a report from the little girl, saying that the second grandmother of Jiafu Lian came to look for her with three sisters, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun.

Lin Daiyu took Wang Xifeng and a few people to her courtyard with great enthusiasm, which was the first time that the sisters of Yingchun came to the door after she left the Jia family.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, you can be more and more moving, I can't take my eyes off!" As soon as Wang Xifeng saw Daiyu, he took her hand and praised her.

"Sister Feng is still so good at talking, just coax me with these good words!" Lin Daiyu replied with a smile.

"I'm telling the truth, don't you believe them!" Wang Xifeng pointed to the three of them and said with a smile.

"Yes, Sister Lin is really getting better and better!" Tanchun also felt the same way.

Yingchun and Xichun also echoed, and after a few little sisters greeted each other for a while, they each talked about the recent situation.

After a few people talked for a while, Wang Xifeng pulled Daiyu aside and asked quietly, "I heard that Zhuang Yuanlang is a disciple of Uncle Lin?" ”

Lin Daiyu nodded with a little doubt, not understanding why Wang Xifeng asked Lu Jing in a dignified manner.

"I'll ask my sister about something!" Although Wang Xifeng has always been spicy and thick-faced, he was also quite embarrassed at this time, and secretly hated Mrs. Wang in his heart, and let her do things that offended people.

"What does my sister want to ask?" Looking at Sister Feng, who has always been cool, her words hesitated, and Lin Daiyu was even more curious.

"I don't know if this champion said he kissed?"

For a while, Lin Daiyu didn't know how to answer, and she also had a bad premonition in her heart.

Wang Xifeng looked at Daiyu embarrassed and explained: "It's not that I have to ask, it's that the second wife said that if she hasn't decided yet, she thinks that a few girls in the house haven't allowed anyone yet, and ask Aunt Lin what she means." ”

Wang Xifeng thought that this thing would be difficult to achieve, and he didn't say the name of Tanchun.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her face suddenly changed.

Wang Xifeng saw Daiyu's ugly face and continued to explain: "My sister also knows that I have never been fond of this kind of nosy, but the second wife just ordered me to ask, and I am also embarrassed!" ”

"If my sister thinks she can do it, ask Aunt Lin, and if she can't do it, shake her head!"

Lin Daiyu was still weighing whether to tell Wang Xifeng the truth directly, or delay for a few days until the news of her engagement spread.

Hearing Wang Xifeng's words at this moment, he shook his head vigorously.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng showed an expected expression: "I just said that this thing can't be done, and my sister just thought I hadn't mentioned it." ”

Lin Daiyu nodded in response, and then glanced at Tanchun, who was sitting there talking to Yingchun and Xichun, and asked quietly, "Does Sister Tanchun know?" ”

Although Sister Feng didn't say it explicitly, she had already guessed that the person Mrs. Wang mentioned should be Tanchun.

Although Tanchun was born to Aunt Zhao, the nominal mother is Mrs. Wang, and Tanchun's marriage can only listen to Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Zhao has neither the right to speak nor the right to decide.

"I guess I don't know!" Wang Xifeng was not surprised that Daiyu could guess it.

Then he shook his head and said: "Or maybe you know, we can't hide things in our house, and the whole world knows what we can't wait to shout about." ”

Jia Tanchun has always been shrewd, and from all kinds of unusual things today, she can roughly guess the truth of the matter.

In the morning, the second wife sent Caixia to inform her and asked her to dress up well, and then Lian's second sister-in-law sent Ping'er over, saying that she would take her and Yingchun, and the three of them went to Daiyu.

She was suspicious at that time, and secretly inquired about Caixia and learned that the second wife was going to kiss them.

On the way here, she asked Yingchun and Xichun on the side, and the second wife didn't have any instructions for them, so she knew that today was mainly for her.

The men who have a relationship with the Lin family, except for the disciples of Aunt Lin who have been rumored in the mansion these days, there will be no one else.

When she first guessed it, Tanchun felt a burst of joy in her heart, if she could marry Zhuang Yuanlang, it would also be an excellent destination, so she pretended not to know, but always paid attention to the conversation between Sister Feng and Daiyu.

It's just that in the process, seeing that the faces of the two of them are not good, thinking that this matter may not be successful, my heart is gloomy for a while.

At this moment, she is more and more disliked by her background, if she is not a concubine, I am afraid it will not be such a result.

Although she was fostered in the name of the second wife, the second wife didn't care about herself at all, and in order to please the second wife and Baoyu, she didn't even dare to get close to her own mother and brother.

After Lin Daiyu and Wang Xifeng sat back down, they pretended to be casual and continued to laugh with the three of them.

Tanchun put away his gloomy mood and continued to pretend that he didn't know anything, talking and laughing with everyone.

After Jia Lian saw Lin Ruhai, he first used Lu Jingzhong's champion to compliment Lin Ruhai, and then talked to Lin Ruhai about Mrs. Wang's plan.

Lin Ruhai's face changed suddenly, and he mocked Mrs. Wang's whimsical in his heart and said at the same time: "Huai Jin has already discussed marriage with Yu'er, and it will be decided in a few days!" ”

"You go back and tell the old lady and the second wife, just say that Huai Jin is the husband I chose for Yu'er, and Yu'er will be a member of the Lu family in the future, so that the old lady and they don't have to worry about Yu'er anymore." Lin Ruhai held back his anger and said.

"Congratulations to my uncle, I congratulate my uncle, my nephew thinks that only Zhuangyuanlang can be worthy of Sister Lin, and then the little nephew will have to come and ask for a cup of wine!" Jia Lian hurriedly smiled when he heard this, Mrs. Wang's plan was frustrated, and his heart blossomed.

After Jia Lian complimented him, he saw that Lin Ruhai didn't want to talk about it more, and was busy talking about Jia Min's matter, he hadn't found any useful information these days, but yesterday he and Wang Xifeng made up some things and used them to prevaricate Lin Ruhai.

"The nephew and daughter-in-law heard from the old grandmother in the house that the second wife said that the allergic aunt couldn't give birth to the words, and the nephew followed this line and found out what means the second wife seemed to use, curse the allergic aunt!"

Lin Ruhai did not believe the curse, and after sending Jia Lian away, Lin Ruhai called someone to invite Lu Jing.

"The disciple only found out that Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied with her mother, but not that Mrs. Wang assassinated her mother!" After listening to Lin Ruhai's words, Lu Jing shook his head and said.

During this time, he was busy with scientific research and handed over this matter to Lu Zheng to be fully responsible, and Lu Zheng did not get any useful information from Mrs. Wang's three dowry maids back then.

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he was slightly disappointed, and then told Lu Jing about Mrs. Wang's desire to take Tanchun to him and his refusal to return to the Jia family.

After hearing this, Lu Jing said thoughtfully: "The disciple wants to recommend a teacher to Jia Baoyu, and ask the teacher Yucheng to do this." ”

Lin Ruhai was puzzled: "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"As a teacher, I won't hide it from you, I have taught Baoyu for a few days, this son is stubborn and abnormal, and he regards the imperial examination as a flood and a beast, I am afraid that even if Confucius is alive, it is difficult to teach him."

"When Sister Lin was in Jiafu, Baoyu took good care of Sister Lin, and the disciple wanted to repay this favor for Sister Lin!" Lu Jing is high-sounding.

secretly complained in his heart, if he didn't find something to do for Jia Baoyu, if he knew that Daiyu was married, maybe there would be some big trouble.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lu Jing suspiciously and asked, "What do you want to do as a teacher?" ”

"The teacher recommended by the disciple to him is Zhuang Huaigu, the teacher only needs to recommend him to Master Zheng, who was born as a Jinshi, I believe that Master Zheng will not refuse!" Lu Jing said.

Lin Ruhai stared at Lu Jing for a moment, and without asking about Zhuang Huaigu's specific situation, he nodded and agreed.

Lu Jing then told Lin Ruhai the specific situation of Zhuang Huaigu.

After listening to Lu Jing's introduction, Lin Ruhai was even more puzzled in his heart, this Zhuang Huaigu actually taught a person and a few talents, could it be that Lu Jing really wanted to introduce a famous teacher to Jia Baoyu.

"That being the case, the disciple will go to see Zhuang Huaigu tomorrow, and Yucheng will do this!" Lu Jing said.

After Zhuang Huaigu was dismissed, he went to Jiangnan to play, the money was gone, he fell ill again, and he was driven out of the inn in a very depressed manner.

Later, Zhuang Huaigu was invited by his friend to Jingshi to teach him the children of his friend's clan.

Zhuang Huaigu is quite knowledgeable, but he is stubborn, unsentimental, and his teaching methods are extremely strict.

After Lu Jing returned home, he called Lu Zheng, and after explaining, he said: "Let Ni Er operate this matter, you don't have to come forward, and don't let Jia Yun know that we did it." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, the little one will arrange everything, and no one will see the flaws!" Lu Zheng replied.

Lu Jing nodded, and then asked, "Has Leng Zixing ever been in the city?" ”

"According to the uncle's plan, I have given that thing to Leng Zixing, but this person is extremely cautious, not an acquaintance, and he will not sell that thing easily!"

Lu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "You want to find someone to pretend to be a merchant from Qianxiang Country?" ”

Lu Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Uncle's idea is good, selling that thing to a foreign businessman must be more in line with his wishes." ”

Lu Jing deduced several times in his heart, and after feeling that there was no loophole, Lu Zheng left.

Shi Taijun, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Baoyu all have settlers, which is estimated to make the Jia family anxious for a while, and they have no time to take care of Daiyu.

After Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and others returned to Jiafu, Wang Xifeng learned that the Lu family and the Lin family were discussing marriage, and instantly understood the reason why Lin Daiyu looked different at that time.

As soon as the husband and wife put it together, they reported the matter of Lu Jing and Daiyu to Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang according to what Lin Ruhai said.

Within a day, Daiyu's matter spread all over Jiafu, everyone heard about it and reacted differently, Shi Xiangyun smiled, Jia Tanchun was sad, Xue Baochai was speechless and silent, Yingchun and Xichun were secretly happy for Daiyu.

Although Mrs. Wang had some regrets in her heart for failing to sell Tanchun, Daiyu promised it to other families, which made her even more happy, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground instantly.

Jia Baoyu was in Shi Taijun's room at the time, and without waiting for Wang Xifeng to finish speaking, he threw Baoyu in his arms hard and made a fuss.

said that the girl is not married, it is a priceless pearl, and when she is married, she will lose her brilliance, and she is a dead pearl.

and rolled coquettishly in Shi Taijun's arms, asking her to take Sister Lin back and prevent Sister Lin from marrying.

Shi Taijun didn't like the Lu family, but when he saw that Lin Ruhai was going to marry Daiyu to the Lu family, he threw Baoyu angry and threw the jade again, and he was instantly angry, and immediately asked people to recruit Jia Zheng.

Let Jia Zheng summon Lin Ruhai, and she will personally inquire about Daiyu's marriage.

After Wang Xifeng told Jia Zheng about the cause and effect, he stood beside Shi Taijun and sneered in his heart.

Since Jia Baoyu came to Jia Zheng, he put away Baoyu and stood beside Shi Taijun with a face full of grievances, not daring to raise his head.

Jia Zheng was silent for a moment, and then responded perfunctorily, he knew that Lin Ruhai didn't look down on his son, and he also knew that the Lin family was currently alienating the Jia family, even if the old lady was Daiyu's grandmother, I am afraid it would be difficult to stop this.
