Chapter 911: Birthday (Two Chapters in One)
Lin Ruhai didn't show it at all, but he saw all kinds of emotions of Jia Baoyu in his heart.
In the past, when his beloved wife was there, he often praised the little son of her second brother's family, saying that he was beautiful and intelligent, and he had the style of an ancestor, and he also had a good impression of Jia Baoyu.
The Lin family has been simple for several generations, and he has such a daughter, according to the family style of the Lin family, he naturally does not want his daughter to marry to Gaomen, although Gaomen is good, but the life of going in to be a daughter-in-law is definitely not easy.
All in all, the wife's maiden family can't be said to be a very bad choice.
Daiyu got married, at least her grandmother was good to protect her, and with him, she was not afraid that she would not be able to take care of her.
Of course, that idea is long gone.
The disadvantages of cousins marrying are known to everyone in the capital, and he also knows it in Jiangnan.
Although many people don't believe it, he only has such a daughter, and he never dares to disbelieve it.
The Lin family has the most important heir, and when it comes to the heir, it is not willing to ignore it at all.
Now that he sees Jia Baoyu, he is even more unhappy.
didn't define this kid just because of one side, but his actions really don't seem to be responsible.
Daiyu's future husband, he is planning to find a gentle and considerate person who can answer his daughter's poems and paintings, but this Jia Baoyu, even if he is not Yu'er's cousin, is still not sensitive.
Moreover, there is Mrs. Wang.
Lin Ruhai knew that the relationship between his wife and her second sister-in-law was not particularly good, and she didn't pay attention to it before, after all, there were not many people with a particularly good relationship between her sister-in-law and sister-in-law, but since Mrs. Wang didn't like her daughter so much, it was even more impossible for her daughter to marry into the Jia family.
The old lady loves her granddaughter, she is so old, how many years can she take care of her?
He only has one daughter, and he has already considered his daughter's family affairs in every way, not to mention the requirements for his son-in-law, at least his mother-in-law cannot be an eventful person.
If Fang Ruohua knew Lin Ruhai's thoughts, she would definitely breathe a sigh of relief, at least she didn't have to worry about her own dismantling of the wood and stone, whether it was appropriate or not, her father was not happy, and it was impossible for her to make the decision if she dismantled it or not.
Lin Ruhai took her daughter all the way to her house in the capital.
The house was stared at by Daiyu herself, repaired little by little, to be more familiar than Lin Ruhai, from the gate to the main courtyard, every furnishing, every garden, was very detailed.
"My daughter deliberately renovated according to our family, and there is not much difference in the general layout of the house and garden, and my father can get used to it."
Lin Ruhai naturally thinks it's good everywhere he looks.
The names of those gardens, as well as the poems on the stone carvings, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging everywhere in the house, Lin Ruhai praised them all over.
Daiyu's cheeks were slightly red from being praised by her father, and she said with a smile: "It's just that my daughter is messing around, Daddy Bo smiled, and when she is serious, she always has to be replaced." It's a picture of the spring festival given by the senior sister, it's really a good painting, and it should be a good collection, and the daughter copied it twice, but it always lacks a bit of sincerity. ”
The father and daughter talked and laughed, and everyone cleaned up the house in a regular manner, everyone worked hard, Lin Daiyu was relaxed, and unconsciously showed the liveliness of a little girl.
When Lin Ruhai saw it, he was also in a good mood, so much so that even his body seemed much better.
"It's better to be at home, I really hope to be with my dad forever."
Lin Ruhai chuckled, many thoughts turned in his mind, but he had some emotions towards his foreign family.
Although his daughter didn't say it, but after all these years of correspondence, how could he not know that most of the people in Jiafu were tongue-chewers, and his daughter's life in Jiafu was really not very pleasant.
If it weren't for the complexity of Jiangnan's affairs, he wouldn't be safe there, as soon as he knew the details of Jiafu, he should have taken Daiyu home.
There were many thoughts in his heart, but Lin Ruhai only smiled and said: "When the garden is renovated, I can invite your little sisters to come over and play the next day." ”
Lin Daiyu was happy and hurriedly smiled.
It's just that Lin Jiayuan hasn't been renovated yet, so Zhou Rui's family came over to send a post, saying that it was Baochai's birthday and asked Daiyu to be lively.
In fact, some time ago was the day of Baochai, but at that time, the capital was in turmoil and was very unstable, and everyone in the Jia family was worried, even the Xue family didn't think about it, so it was delayed.
At this time, when it finally stabilized, Jia's mother also wanted to be lively, so she proposed to make up for her birthday, and also contributed 20 taels to Sister Feng to organize.
Daiyu took the post and prepared a gift.
But I didn't expect that on Baochai's birthday, something big and small happened.
Sister Feng found a troupe, singing lively, after singing, Jia Mu felt that one of the little dans and a clown sang very well, so she asked people to bring them over, and rewarded them with some pulp and reward.
said that this Xiaodan was young, only eleven years old, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little similar to Daiyu.
At that time, the young lady of the Shi family, Shi Xiangyun was also there, and blurted out, only saying-"It looks like Sister Lin." ”
Lin Daiyu frowned, knowing that Shi Xiangyun's temperament was a bit arrogant, and he was also reckless, so he didn't bother with her.
This is also Daiyu's confidence now, her father has entered Beijing, and now she is a household servant, and the household department is over seventy years old, and she will soon be a scholar, and the above obviously intends to let Lin Ruhai be a scholar.
Once you do the book of the household, it is necessary to enter the cabinet, from the deputy phase to the main phase, only half a step away.
It is indeed at this point, it is Jia Daishan, the old prince is still there, and he can't help but give the Lin family some face, as for the current Jia Mansion, Lin Ruhai can not take it to heart at all.
There is no need for Daiyu to be angry about Shi Xiangyun's frivolous words.
Even if outsiders heard it, they could only say that Shi Xiangyun was rude, who would say that Daiyu was not half a sentence!
Anyway, she wasn't annoyed at all at that time, and she personally rewarded that Xiaodan.
Daiyu didn't care, but Wang Xifeng sighed in his heart, he didn't have a seizure at that time, he was afraid that Daiyu's face would not look good, but when he turned around, his face turned pale with anger, and he severely punished the errand officer.
The troupe was found by her, but it was an unintentional mistake, and it was always bad for people to know.
Mother Jia also sighed, and asked Shi Xiangyun to return to Shi's house, not keeping her for a while as usual.
Shi Xiangyun was leaving, tears flowed down his eyes, but he couldn't say a word, only silently held Baoyu's sleeve and cried: "Love brother, don't forget me." ”
In the original book, she once said Daiyu - 'Others say her, make fun of her, all of them, only I say it, I don't deserve to say her, she is the master of the young lady, I am a slave girl, I offended her, I can't help it.'" ’
But now in Jiafu, who dares to make fun of Daiyu?
Even if you don't look at Mother Jia, those people don't have eyesight anymore, and they don't dare to make fun of Sister Lin.
If Shi Xiangyun said these words again, she couldn't say half a sentence.
Lin Ruhai also knew about this matter for the first time, he was a gentleman, and he didn't bother with Shi Xiangyun either, but he still asked people to buy that Xiaodan and bring him back to Lin's house to do some needlework and sweeping.
Maybe when she grows up, she will choose a similar family to marry, but give her a dowry.
There is nothing that this Xiao Dan is unwilling to do.
can only sing for a few years in the troupe, and it is difficult to become a role, most of the small dramas end up miserable, and the Lin family is definitely a good master for her.
Arrange it, and this matter is over.
The Shi family sent someone to send a heavy gift to make amends, but Lin Ruhai confiscated it, only that Miss Shi had a rough temperament, and his daughter also knew that she didn't care about the child.
"Hey."
Shi Xiangyun returned to Shi's house and hid back in the house to get angry, but the Bowling Hou Shi Nai and his wife were very worried.
Shi Xiangyun is the daughter of the eldest brother, Shi Nai succeeded the title of the eldest brother, and he is naturally good to this niece, but it is a little bad, and the spitting stars of outsiders can drown him.
"The big girl's temperament, really, she should be upright, otherwise how can we tell her a good family affair with all four corners."
Shi Nai's wife, Liu, was awkward when she thought about it.
Lin Ruhai said in front of her that Shi Xiangyun was straightforward and rude, and she couldn't deny it, if she wasn't reckless, would she really want to say that she deliberately compared the daughter of the family servant to a play?
"Lin Gong is open-minded, and he must not worry about a little girl."
Shi Nai could only sigh like this.
He is indeed a marquis, and he has a knighthood, but when it comes to Jane in the emperor's heart, it is still Lin Tanhua, he usually works well with people in the court, and never offends people, not to mention Lin Ruhai, a big celebrity in front of the emperor, but now his niece, is actually holding back.
Shi Nai's resignation, but his wife hated Shi Xiangyun even more in her heart.
Speaking of which, she can't be blamed, she also has several daughters, Shi Xiangyun's reputation is not good, what is burdened is the reputation of the entire Shi family, her daughters are also about to get married, what really went wrong, she is not angry.
Finally couldn't bear it anymore, Liu frowned and said: "The eldest girl is in Jiafu, and she tells people all day long that she does needlework until midnight, how can there be such a thing, although it is true that she is allowed to do some needlework, but who does not do the girls in the family?" Xiangting does more, let's do it inside and out, aren't all the clothes, shoes and hats made by our daughter? ”
As he spoke, Liu's tears fell.
The Shi family is actually far from being so difficult, but the family background is really not thick, and there are many girls, so it is necessary to prepare a rich dowry for a few girls to ensure that they have enough confidence to go to their in-laws' house, and they are open source and thrifty.
But for Shi Xiangyun, she thinks that she is quite good, she just can't love that child as her own daughter, but she must be better to face her than to her own daughter, Liu is a faceless person after all.
Shi Nai shook his head: "Recently, let Xiangyun rest at home, you go out and walk around more, look at her and tell her a good family matter, Xiangyun's age is not too young." ”
Xue Baochai finished his birthday, and within a few days, the Flower Dynasty Festival arrived.
Lin Daiyu was born on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival.
Although Daiyu said that it was not a whole birthday, so there was no need to toss too much, but Lin Ruhai still asked Daiyu to write a post early and invited a little sister to come over and have a lively time.
He also hasn't given his daughter a birthday for several years.
The ladies of Jiafu, as well as Baochai, took the post, glanced at each other, and thought of the unpleasantness of Baochai's birthday, but it was just a flash of thought, and everyone responded with a smile.
Tanchun smiled even more: "Sister Lin's birthday is just in time for the Flower Dynasty Festival, we dare not forget, and we can't forget the gifts." ”
On the right day, Fang Ruohua borrowed a few imperial kitchens from the palace, and sent the cooks he was accustomed to using to the illusion of reality to the Lin family, and reorganized the whole world and the north in one go, with one hundred and eight famous dishes.
Lin Ruhai and Daiyu both smiled bitterly: "This is too wasteful." ”
Fang Ruohua: "I can't waste it, this time I ate separately, and the Salesian Home opened by my Illusion Concept, the children and the elderly in the nursing home also shared Daiyu's blessings." ”
Daiyu's father and daughter didn't say anything.
As soon as Sanchun and Baochai and others arrived, they got together with Daiyu, and the sisters got together to say goodbye.
Baochai took a closer look at Daiyu's residence, only to feel that there was no place that was not exquisite, and there was no place that was uncomfortable, and the people of the Lin family all had rules, and they obeyed Daiyu's words, and they also sighed in their hearts, it was better to be in their own home.
Although it was Daiyu's birthday, Lin Ruhai didn't call any troupe to help the fun, but only prepared all kinds of delicacies and snacks, and told them to play to their heart's content.
Especially in Sanchun, when there is rarely such wanton on weekdays, Fang Ruohua also arranged various swings, slides, seesaws in the Lin family garden in advance, and built a glass conservatory.
The greenhouse is behind the rockery, and many tall trees and purple bamboos are planted around it, which is very hidden.
There is a built-in pool with hot spring water, and the scenery is sparkling.
This can make the sisters envious, and even Yingchun, who has never been very talkative, smiled: "I really want to come to play with Sister Lin more in the future." ”
Just after noon, the girls were playing, but an angel arrived.
Sanchun and Baochai were shocked, and Daiyu hurriedly changed her dress to take over, but the angel was very kind and polite, and only said that His Majesty had a will, so that Lord Lin and Miss Lin did not have to be busy, and the etiquette was temporarily waived.
It turned out that the saint and the queen remembered that today was Miss Lin's birthday, and specially gave a few pieces of the queen's old jewelry for the young lady to wear and play.
There are not many jewelry, just a set of gilt gem-studded heads, but the workmanship is extremely fine, just look at this workmanship, the value of the jewelry material is much higher.
The most important thing is that this is the queen's old days, and the meaning is different, even Daiyu is a little surprised at this time, but fortunately, she is indifferent, and she can still stand it.
Lin Ruhai sent the angel away, but the sisters lost their interest in playing, said a few more words, and dispersed.
When Sanchun went back, Mother Jia was taken aback, and Mrs. Wang was even more frightened, and even blurted out: "Can Lin Yatou have such dignity?" ”
In a flash of thought, she really regretted it, she always felt that Lin Daiyu was not a good match for her own Baoyu, but if she even had a small birthday, not a whole birthday, she was worried about it, then Daiyu would be terrible in the future.
She just said that her treasure jade doesn't need her wife to add any brilliance, but she can directly reach the heavens, and she may not be able to find it with a lantern.
Mrs. Wang pondered again and again, planning to be better to Daiyu in the future and observe again.
