The next day, after Lin Ruhai returned home after handing over the official documents from the official office, he called Lin Lan and prepared to visit Jiafu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The father and son changed into bright clothes and took a sedan chair to Ningrong Street. Now the autumn is strong, the ginkgo biloba leaves in the middle of the road are golden, and the wind blows, covering the ground.

The two stone lions in the north of the street, looking towards the center, the three beast head gates, are the Ningguo Mansion. The main entrance was not opened, and there were a dozen or so people in gorgeous costumes sitting in front of them. Lin Ruhai pointed to Ningguo Mansion and said: "This is the mansion of Jia Yan, the Duke of Ningguo, although it also belongs to Jiafu, this Ningrong Second Mansion has many people, and it is Rongguo Mansion that has a reason for our Lin family, and further west, it is Rongguo Mansion." ”

Lin Lan glanced at the mansion, which was as good as what was described in the book. Che Ma Yingmen, many people who come to visit, are kind to those men, it seems that Jiafu's status in Beijing is still very good.

Ning Guofu lives in a long house, but now Rongguo Mansion still has a Jia mother, and not long ago there was an extra mother in the palace, and the status is naturally rising.

The two servants of the Lin Mansion carried the salute. The door of Rongguo Mansion was still closed, and when I saw Lin Lan and a few people coming up, one of them got up and came over, and said to Lin Ruhai: "Master came to Rongguo Mansion, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Lin Ruhai said: "I am Lin Ruhai, the imperial history of Yangzhou Salt Patrol, and yesterday someone sent someone to hand over the post. ”

Menzi's face was overjoyed, and he arched his hand and said: "Yo, it's my aunt, hurry up and please, an old ancestor talked about you yesterday." Menzi glanced at Lin Lan and said, "This is Ling Lang, what a talent." ”

Lin Lan smiled, she was really the servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the top nine products, and she was really a mother who asked about the east and the west.

"Auntie, please." Menzi led Lin Lan and a few people to the small door on the west side.

There are three or four hundred people in this Rongguo Mansion, and they are naturally prosperous, and a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River like Lin Mansion is simply a small thing compared to it. Lin Ruhai hadn't entered the Rongguo Mansion for several years, but some old servants still recognized him and greeted him.

"Yo, could this be the aunt that the old man has been thinking about yesterday?" As soon as the golden bell-like voice opened, the sound seemed to have risen by an octave, and without introduction, Lin Lan guessed nine times out of ten - Sister Feng was it. This Sister Feng is not Sister Bi Feng, Danfeng's triangular eyes squinted slightly, twisted her waist and walked over, so coquettish that the subordinates on the side did not dare to look up.

Lin Ruhai was stunned, who is this young junior, where does he know, he doesn't speak there, so as not to say the wrong thing and make himself bored. Lin Lan saw her father's embarrassment and said: "Sister-in-law is full of energy, her face is full of spring breeze, she must be Brother Lian's wife, Xifeng's sister-in-law." ”

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows, glanced at Lin Lan, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Lin Ruhai looked at Wang Xifeng's expression, and estimated that what Lin Lan said was true, so he continued Lin Lan's words and said: "It turned out to be Lian's nephew's inner room, I am Lin Ruhai, the imperial history of Yangzhou Patrol Salt, this is the dog Lin Lan, who went to Beijing to report on his work this time, and came to visit the old lady. Although he is his junior, Lin Ruhai still has no big words, his words are right, neither humble nor arrogant.

Sister Feng grinned, "What about Sister Daiyu?" Why don't you see it? As soon as this Daiyu sister left, she took away my family Baoyu, and this old ancestor was like losing his soul. Now that Baoyu has returned home, has my aunt brought Daiyu this time? ”

"It's coming, but it's in the other garden."

"Okay, catch Ming'er and come to Jiafu again, the ancestor can miss it tightly. I still have to collect rent here, and you will treat the people up and down this house as your own family, and I will not guide you. Sister Feng gave Lin Ruhai a junior salute and left in a hurry.

Lin Ruhai saw the back of the dusty servant, and muttered: "What a powerful mouth, this mouth will come, and the qi is like a man." ”

Lin Lan smiled and said: "This sister-in-law Jiafu people call her Feng Lazi, and now she is in charge of the family, everything in this Jiafu is her idea, Dad, do you say it can be powerful?" ”

"Oh? How do you know that clearly? ”

"Uh...... When my sister replied a few years ago, she mentioned some personnel in the house, and Lan'er also had some impressions. "Oh yes, it's almost round.

A few subordinates greeted him, and some maids in the house, seeing Lin Lan's talent, were not as white and tender as a few sons and gentlemen in the house, they were more beautiful than women, and pointed in private, "Which family's son is this, so handsome." ”

"I don't know, it looks like it's quite big, and I went straight into the main hall, why don't we go and take a look?"

"Go, go, you haven't finished your business, beware of being scolded!"

Lin Ruhai took Lin Lan into the hall. The rules of this Jia Mansion are strict, the young and old are orderly, if you write a female stream, you will naturally sit casually, this visit is Lin Ruhai, and the ladies in the house are not allowed to come out.

Lin Lan glanced at the silver-haired old woman, who was wearing gold and silver, and the jade bracelet on her hand, that color, was estimated to be sold, and it was casually worth 1,800 taels of silver. It's really more popular than people, the silver that Lin Lan earned a few months ago is almost enough for the old lady's pair of bracelets, it's good to be rich.

Jia Mu looked at it and asked, "Did Daiyu ever come to Beijing?" ”

"Back to the old lady's words, here it is."

Jia Mu was overjoyed and said, "Where is it?" This girl is well-behaved and clever, but she is very much like her mother, and when I see her, I think of my blessed Min'er. ”

Lin Ruhai sat down, "The little girl is in the other garden, wait for Ming'er to come and visit the old lady again." ”

"Ouch, what are you waiting for? Let's take Jia Mansion to live today. How can this garden be comfortable at home? You too, don't say hello when you come. Your brother-in-law is still in the office, and it will take some time to arrive. ”

"It's okay, oh, this is the dog Lin Lan. Lan'er, I haven't seen the old lady yet. ”

Lin Lan, who was standing on the side, saluted and said, "Lin Lan, who was born late, has seen the old lady." ”

Jia Mu's face was not happy, but she said lightly: "She looks like Zhou Zheng, but she is not as fair and lovely as my family's Baoyu." ”

Lin Lan's face darkened, if all the men of the Dajing Dynasty look like your family treasure, then it is called scary. The northwest pulled out a fight, scared, a bunch of women's army.

"That's what the old lady said. I have been accustomed to the sun since I was a child and I am used to seeing the road, just like this wild boar, which is naturally not as white and lovely as the domestic pig. ”

Lin Ruhai frowned, choked on a sip of tea, and said, "How do you speak, what kind of pig is not a pig?" ”

Mother Jia's face also changed, this is not to mean that Sang scolded Huai, scolded her heart as a domestic pig, and said with some displeasure: "You are a domestic pig and wild boar, my old wife can't see it, but I listen to what you say, I don't know where my family Baoyu provoked you?" ”

The old lady smiled. Late life and Bao Erye have no enmity or grudge, how dare they accuse Sang and scold Huai, but he is just used to being lazy and wild, and he hopes that the old lady will not go to his heart. Lin Lan has no good impression of this elder of Jiafu compared to Wang Yan, how can a distant relative like him have a grandson who is pleasing to him, rather than being low, it is better to straighten his waist and speak.

Jia Mu smiled slightly, but didn't say anything anymore. At her age, she has seen the world again, and she argues with juniors, but she seems to have lost her identity.

A maid outside ran over, saluted Jia's mother, and said, "Ancestor, the master is back, and he said that he would invite my aunt to the study for a gathering." ”

Jia Mu stopped and said, "Go, go, go." It's important for you to get down to business. Ruhai, this Lin Lan will stay here, chat with my old wife, you can rest assured that you can go. ”

Lin Ruhai got up, saluted Jia's mother, and whispered to Lin Lan: "Be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

Although offending a Jia mother is not a murder, but Jia Mansion is a noble family of the dynasty, and the four major families of Jia Wang Shi Xue are in the same spirit, and many big people in the court are guests of the house, so it is naturally good to offend less.

As soon as Lin Ruhai left, Jia Mu instructed the maid to make another cup of tea, and said, "Sit, come and be a guest, what do you look like when you stand." ”

Lin Lan didn't say anything, sat down and looked at a plum bottle on the other side, thinking about how much this bottle was worth and how many pieces of cloth it had to sell to earn it. Of course, Lin Lan didn't like this plum bottle, but it was really better than boredom, so she would pass the time in this way.

Mother Jia's eyes were clear, she looked at Lin Lan's eyes, and said: "This plum bottle was given by the ancestor when the old Rongguo Gong showed the foundation of the world, and now it is almost a hundred years. ”

"The old lady is right." Lin Lan didn't want to argue with this old ancestor who had been enjoying himself in Jiafu all day long, and he was not his ancestor, so he had to apologize and apologize when he was sick, and he was too lazy to speak.

But apparently, Jia Mu didn't want to let go of such an opportunity, and asked, "Alas, that's right. Listening to the introduction in your father's letter, your poem is good, and you can compare with those girls and Baoyu another day. I've heard that they've recently become a poetry club, so you can try it too. ”

Lin Lan raised her eyebrows, never looked at the look on Jia Mu's face, withdrew her gaze, and said: "If poetry is like this, it seems to be cheap, what is the difference between it and the street martial arts?" ”

"It's true, but it's a little trouble, and you, the poet, really can't compare."

Lin Lan smiled in her heart. This old lady has a needle in her words, she just said that she is cheaper than Dou, and she choked herself on the matter of taking away Shikui, and she is also an unforgiving lord, but the words on her mouth are better.

Seeing that Lin Lan didn't answer, Jia's mother changed her words and said, "Your father mentioned this marriage to you, right?" ”

"I did."

Jia Mu said calmly: "This spring girl is still young, and she is really reluctant to get married. Although I said this before, but according to my opinion, it is not the right time. ”

"Well, this marriage event is decided by the elders, and it doesn't help for the old lady and the late life to talk about this."

Seeing Lin Lan's indifferent appearance, Jia Mu closed her eyes and chuckled: "Yes, but I'll just talk to you." Seeing you like this, don't you want to marry a girl from my Jiafu? ”

Jia Fu is a noble of the dynasty, and now there is another lady, naturally there are many people who want to tie up. In Jia's mother's opinion, this Lin Lan is still a little moved.

"The old lady told me that it was useless, and if there was nothing else to do, he would leave."

Suddenly Baoyu's voice came from outside the hall. "Sister Daiyu has come to Beijing? Where? Where? ”

A long shirt with red sleeves and white bottom stepped into the hall, and when he saw Lin Lan on one side, he subconsciously stepped back, walked to Jia's mother with some caution, and said, "Ancestor, where is Sister Daiyu?" ”

"Your good sister, I've already sent someone to pick it up."

Lin Lan didn't say anything. After all, this Jia's mother is Daiyu's grandmother, not to mention that she is not Daiyu's brother, even if this Jia's mother wants to take Daiyu to live in Jiafu, he can't say anything, so he won't be bored. I wasn't in Beijing before, but now I'm in Beijing, can I still make these young people make waves?

Lin Lan watched Baoyu like a paparazzi in the arms of this Jia mother, the more she looked at it, the more disgusting she became, all the men in the world were dead, and they would not marry Daiyu to Jiafu! (To be continued.) )
