Chapter 19: Reasons for Leaving Home

After Yan Mo retreated, Lin Jin tapped the fingers of her right hand on the tabletop, muttered for a moment, got up and walked to the backyard, and instructed the little maid who followed behind her to hold the inkstone as she walked: "I won't go out today, if there is no accident, I will probably be in the backyard." If there is something and it is not very urgent, it will be discussed tomorrow; If you can't wait immediately, let Zihao come to me in the backyard. ”

While talking, he arrived at the door of the backyard, Lin Jin entered the backyard, came to the main room of the backyard, entered the house, and saw Daiyu sitting in front of the desk, writing something.

Daiyu raised her eyes and saw her, put down the pen in her hand, and said with a smile: "You came just in time, I am preparing the list that is being released in the mansion, you can help me refer to it." As he spoke, he handed her a slip with a dense list of people's names written on them.

Lin Jin took the list, although she didn't look at it carefully, she only glanced at it, but she could also see that many people were released this time, especially the big girl in Daiyu's room was in the list released this time, and asked a little strangely: "Why did you suddenly release so many people?" And why did all the big girls in your room go out, and after you let them all out, who do you call in this house every day? ”

Daiyu said with a smile: "According to the rules, when the maids in the house reach their age, if there are no special circumstances, they must all be released." Because the family kept filial piety to her mother, in the past three years, even if the girl was old, she didn't let it out. Now that they are filial piety, they will be released together, so as not to delay their youth.

As for the people who serve, the government has already selected good people, but they still have to teach some rules. After the people who have picked well learn the rules, they will be able to work after coming in, and there will be a shortage of people to serve. ”

Lin Jin suddenly realized, and immediately understood why Daiyu went to Jia's house, and only brought Mama Wang and Xue Yan with her, not only because she was a guest at the door and it was not easy to bring too many servants, but also because she was just in time for the release of people in the house. The big girls in her room have all reached the age and let them out, as for the newcomers, they haven't learned the rules yet, and they are barely okay to serve at home, but they can't be taken outside, so as not to embarrass her because they haven't learned the rules well.

After thinking about it, Lin Jin put this matter down and said, "My grandmother's family has written a letter again, this time it should be the same old saying, ready to pick you up." ”

Daiyu said disapprerovingly: "So what? ”

Lin Jin was stunned when she saw her like this, and suddenly thought that Daiyu was different from her, and she didn't know that the situation was different this time, before the Jia family wrote a letter, Lin Ruhai did not agree, so she thought that this time was the same as before, Lin Ruhai would still refuse the Jia family.

"This time the situation is different, I read my grandmother's letter, which mentions your marriage. Because the eldest daughter who lost her mother felt that she lacked education in the eyes of the world, it was more difficult to get married, and her father would never let you be picked and blamed because of this shortcoming, so she ...... "Although Lin Jin knew that it was inappropriate to say that marriage was inappropriate in front of a girl like Daiyu, who was still in the boudoir, she couldn't take care of it because of the situation, and directly told the reason.

Daiyu was stunned, and asked in disbelief for a while: "Brother Sumire, you said that my father would agree this time?" ”

Lin Jin nodded: "Of course." You also know the situation at home, my aunt in the East Courtyard did not correct it, and even if it was corrected, she taught you, the eldest daughter born from the original match, not to mention that her grandmother was still a good lady. ”

Why did Jia Jing's wife know that her grandsons were older than her daughters before she died, and it was absolutely no problem for her son and daughter-in-law to raise her daughter to adulthood, and she still entrusted Xichun to Jia's mother, not because Jia's mother had the title of Mrs. Yipin from the imperial court.

This thing is like the name of the "Gold Medal Excellent Teacher" in later generations, when parents can't judge which of the teaching level of two teachers of the same age and teaching experience is higher and which is lower, this name is a big killer, and it is a killer feature that can be decided.

Seeing Daiyu sitting there twisting the corners of her clothes and bowing her head silently, Lin Jin reacted and hurriedly asked, "What, you don't want to go?" ”

Yes, although Jia Min talked to Daiyu about the Jia family a lot when she was alive, but Daiyu was born in Jiangnan, grew up so big, and never left home so far, even if she went to her grandmother's house, but for her, the people over there were still strangers. She stayed at home so well, how could she be willing to leave home and live in a completely unfamiliar place.

Daiyu looked up at her with pleading in her eyes, "Brother Sumire, you tell your father, don't send me to my grandmother's house, okay?" ”

Thinking of her life in the Jia family, even when Lin Ruhai was still alive, it was actually not very comfortable, seeing her pitiful appearance, Lin Jin sighed lightly and said, "I'll try to talk to my father." ”

Seeing the brilliance in Daiyu's eyes in an instant, he couldn't bear it, but he still hardened his heart: "It's just that it may be useless, you have to be prepared mentally." ”

"Whether it works out or not, I will accept your love." Of course, Daiyu knew what was wrong, and said with a smile, and got up to salute Lin Jin to show her gratitude.

……

After hearing that Jia Yucun had left his father's study, Lin Jin came over, and after asking Lin Ruhai to say goodbye, he directly opened his mouth to explain his intentions: "Father, I heard that you intend to send your sister to your grandmother's house this time, and after my sister learned about it, she was unwilling to leave home, and begged me to help my father intercede for her." I don't think there's any need to send my sister away, I'm not saying that my grandmother's house is bad, it's just ......"

Lin Ruhai raised his hand to stop her from continuing, and said warmly: "I understand what you mean." I am reluctant to send Daiyu away, but no matter how reluctant I am, I must be hard-hearted for the sake of her future. ”

Lin Jin knew that what Lin Ruhai said about the future was referring to Daiyu's marriage, and couldn't help but say: "According to the 'five don't marry', although my sister belongs to the 'widowed eldest daughter', there is no need to cling to this rule." I think the widow's eldest daughter is still well married, in fact, as long as the girl is good. ”

In fact, Lin Ruhai originally thought so, so he didn't agree to send Daiyu to Jia's house at first, but he couldn't stand the letter from the left and the right letter from the Jia family to persuade him, so that he couldn't help but shake in the end.

"What you say makes sense, but what if Daiyu misses out on her good relationship because of this flaw?" Lin Ruhai directly questioned Lin Jin about the Jia family's questioning of him.

Lin Jin was asked and couldn't answer. Even in later generations, there is a saying that marrying someone is like a second reincarnation, not to mention the world where the fate of this woman's life is all tied to a man.

She understood that the Jia family was holding Lin Ruhai's love for a daughter, so even though Lin Ruhai was reluctant, for the sake of Daiyu's future, she could only send her away.

……

In fact, Lin Jin didn't know, because in this life, Lin Ruhai had Yang Wan's second room and Lin Jin and Yang Lin's two sons, so he would send Daiyu away, in addition to the reason he told Lin Jin just now, it also had something to do with them.

Since Jia Daishan's death, the Jia family has inevitably gone downhill because Jia Yu and Jia Zheng can't support the court, and they can barely maintain the dignity of the house by relying on the connections left by Jia Daishan and several capable in-laws.

Therefore, the Jia family must not be estranged from Lin Ruhai, who is in the emperor's heart and serves as the salt patrol imperial history, so after Jia Min's death, Jia's mother wanted to take Daiyu over to raise, in addition to feeling sorry for Daiyu's granddaughter who lost her mother at a young age, but also in order to prevent the relationship with the Lin family from becoming distant because of the loss of Jia Min's connection.

Therefore, in Jia's mother's eyes, Yang Wan and Lin Jin and other people who will destroy the relationship between Jia Lin's two families are not good things. Therefore, after Jia Min's death, in the letters written by the Jia family to Lin Ruhai, there were many bad things about Yang Wan in the Eastern Courtyard, implying that she was not good to Daiyu, and Daiyu was wronged and would be treated poorly.

Although Lin Ruhai felt that Yang Wan would not act like this, he was a little uneasy about what the Jia family said, so he knew that some of the minions left by Jia Min were more difficult, and he was not satisfied with Yang Wan's management as a housekeeper, but he refused to make decisions for Yang Wan, for fear that if he sent them away, he would wronged Daiyu.

Aunt Lin and Lin Jin both saw this, but this kind of thing couldn't be said, so they could only let Yang Wan endure the grievances, and some things simply Yang Wan didn't come forward and handed them over to Lin Jin to deal with.

Therefore, knowing that the Jia family was going to take Daiyu over to raise her, in fact, Yang Wan was very happy and couldn't wait to send this hot potato away as soon as possible.

Yang Wan is not a thoughtful person, so Lin Ruhai naturally saw it. He also knew that he had acted unfairly and made Yang Wan feel wronged, so it was no wonder that she had such thoughts.

……

Just when Lin Ruhai was worried about how to achieve a balance between Yang Wan and Daiyu, the Jia family wrote another letter to point out one point.

In the eyes of the world, the mother-in-law is unkind to the concubine and the concubine, although it will be discussed a few words, but it will not be criticized. But if the stepmother is not kind to the child left behind, that is a big deal.

Yang Wan, as Lin Ruhai's second room, although she did not straighten it out, but the two sons of the Lin family were born to her, and she held the stewardship of the Lin family, in fact, she was no different from the stepfamily.

Just as people in the world rarely believe that their mother-in-law treats their children equally, they do not believe that the step-family will treat the children in front of them as their own and raise them to adulthood, but they prefer to believe that they will teach the children left behind in them badly.

Therefore, even if Yang Wan's identity is ignored to teach Daiyu whether it is embarrassing or not, not only the Jia family thinks so, but even others feel that even if Yang Wan raises Daiyu, she will not be able to teach her better.

If everyone in the world thinks so, then Daiyu, the "eldest daughter of a widow", might as well be taught by no one, so after Lin Ruhai was pointed out by the Jia family, he thought about it and finally decided to send Daiyu to the Jia family to be taught by Jia's mother.

Of course, for the latter reason, Lin Ruhai naturally wouldn't tell Lin Jin, and Lin Jin didn't think of going there for a while.
