HBWnovel Chapter 15
Chapter 15
In a few days, people came from Jia's mansion, saying that the imperial concubine was grateful for the empty courtyard, so it's better to let the younger brothers and sisters live in it.This not only specially reserved a courtyard for Daiyu and Beiyuan, Daiyu lives in a hotel, Lin Ge and Baoyu can also get close to each other on weekdays.
Listening to what Zhou Rui's family said, Daiyu felt cold-hearted. It wasn't a few days after her father left. We live in the yard where the noble concubine visits relatives, this is not allowing us to be filial.
Daiyu looked at Zhou Rui's family with an unkind expression, and said lightly: "You go back first, and when Beiyuan and I send father back to his hometown, he will return to Beijing naturally, but I told my grandmother in person."
After Daiyu said this, Zhou Rui's family didn't take it seriously, they were just two siblings who had neither father nor mother, so they said directly to Daiyu: "Miss Lin, the old lady asked us to help you. Girl, I also think about the girl, with such servants, I think the girl seldom disciplines her on weekdays, why don't you go back first, and I will help you deal with the aftermath."
When Daiyu heard this, she smiled instead of anger, and looked at her sideways. When Zhou Rui's family saw this, they also felt that this was a mistake. They just thought that this was just a little girl, so they probably didn't have any ideas.
Daiyu glanced at her, and said to the girl behind her, "Tie her up for me and send her to the woodshed."
As soon as these words were finished, two maids came up to arrest him. Zhou Rui's family was naturally scared when they saw this, and they yelled: "Miss, spare me, miss, spare me!"
But he didn't want a girl with a thick body to stuff a piece of cloth into her mouth, and let the boy outside the door send her to the woodshed.
Daiyu immediately dismissed a letter, which only clearly stated the words and deeds of Zhou Rui's family. The words were sad and sentimental. Fu Zhishi wanted to deceive the Lin family's wealth in a vain way, and my grandmother must have never thought of that.
Only the letter and the people of Najia's mansion were sent to the capital.Since the imperial concubine came to see her relatives, Jia Mu has been in a bad mood. She rewarded Baoyu and Xue Baochai for nothing else, which implied that she meant marriage.
Although the girl from the Xue family is also good-looking, but Mother Jia came here because her surname is Xue, and she is Mrs. Wang's niece, and secondly, because the Xue family has declined over the years. Although the money is enough, but There wasn't a single useful man in that family.The third is that she has a bad personality, although the girl from the Xue family said that De Rong's women are all top-notch, but her clothes are old-fashioned and old-fashioned, she doesn't look like a big girl in her teens.
So Jia's mother pretended not to know the concubine's hint, and only told Baoyu that she would take sister Lin over to eat and live together.Presumably Baoyu likes to be good-looking, so naturally he is extremely happy.
But he didn't expect that instead of Daiyu, Zhou Rui's family who was tied up would come, and when he saw Daiyu's letter, he was naturally furious.After Zhou Rui's family was beaten up that day, she seemed to be dying, so Madam Wang brought her here, and asked the doctor to prescribe a strong medicine, and then she recovered.It's just that he can't stay in Jia's house anymore.
Seeing Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue naturally persuaded her: "The old lady is also in a moment of anxiety, Zhou Rui's family is really not good at handling things this week, sister, don't take it to heart."
Mrs. Wang sneered, holding a Buddhist bead in her hand, and said: "That's all for the old lady, that girl is also like this, how can I make them happy."
Aunt Xue saw that her sister was like this and had nothing to say. Zhou Rui's family has always been Mrs. Wang's confidants, and everyone in the house knows that what happened now, many people said behind their backs, it is really embarrassing.It's just that she is my elder sister after all, so I had to say: "Anyway, there's still a lady up there, elder sister, don't think about anything else."
Mrs. Wang held Aunt Xue's hand and said, "You're right, the left and right ladies have acquiesced. It's just that Bao girl hasn't come here recently."
After hearing this, Aunt Xue paused before saying: "Baby girl, I've been feeling unwell these days, and I'll definitely come to my sister to say hello in a few days."
Mrs. Wang took a look at her younger sister, who was also so old that she didn't even know how to panic, she looked at herself and didn't know, didn't she just quarrel with Baoyu twice, it seemed that she was not serious.
But on Xue Baochai's side, she was really happy when she first moved into Hengwu Courtyard. Although she didn't show it on the surface, she liked it after all.It's just that I seldom go out these few days, it's nothing else, let alone what those little girls said about Sister Bao being angry.
Speaking of which, Xue Baochai was originally a young lady who was waiting for election in Beijing, but now that she is no longer qualified to be elected, she thought that there is still Baoyu.Originally, Baoyu looked pretty good, born in the family of a duke, handsome in appearance, even more careful with women, not even a single harsh word.
But since Lin Beiyuan from the Lin Mansion came, Xue Baochai knew that there are still such men in this world, who value friendship and are good at learning, not to mention these things, it is rare that they have great ambitions at a young age.
Xue Baochai, who was originally unwilling, was even more unwilling after seeing the ostentation of the noble concubine, thinking that Baoyu was not qualified to inherit, so he could only be an official career, so he persuaded him a few words, but Baoyu robbed him of his position.
Xue Baochai said this to Baoyu, although he felt that he had lost face in front of the girl, but the most important thing was that Xue Baochai felt that Baoyu was nothing more than that, and in the future he might just rely on the face of the Duke's mansion to get a fifth-rank official.Judging by Baoyu's temperament, maybe she doesn't even have a fifth-rank official. Although she has a noble concubine and sister, how long she can protect her depends on other people's faces.
That's why Xue Baochai is far away from Baoyu. Aunt Xue also knows that her daughter has a higher heart than the sky, but she can't tell Mrs. Wang this.
Lin Beiyuan and Daiyu sent their father back to Suzhou for burial, and left a few loyal old servants to watch over Yangzhou before going to Beijing.
Here in Beijing, after the brides and mothers visited relatives, the prices of these yards and mansions were much lower. Ding San bought a yard closer to the palace according to Beiyuan's instructions. This was originally a son-in-law. The Diaolianghuadong mansion, not to mention flowers, birds, grass and insects, has a wide variety. This house has not been sold since it was emptied. Coincidentally, after Ding San asked for two days, a middleman suddenly told Ding San that he bought it. is very good.
As soon as Daiyu entered the yard, she liked it very much. Not to mention, the peach blossoms are very pleasing to see, especially the koi in the lotus pond in the yard are alive and kicking, and the mood of the people watching is also good. a lot of.
Going further inside, I saw a small building. Daiyu stood upstairs and looked at it, and happened to be able to see the whole house. It was really pink with a little bit of green, and the occasional scattered roofs looked like a landscape painting.Daiyu really liked it very much, she said to Beiyuan, "This place belongs to me, you can live in other places as you like."
Seeing that Daiyu was in a bad mood all the way, Lin Beiyuan was quite worried, but now he was relieved to see him showing the temperament of this little girl.
Beiyuan didn't have any special ideas about the residence, he just asked Mingyue to take someone to pick out the spacious yard and tidy it up.
Even though the yard was tidied well, Beiyuan and Daiyu took two days to tidy it up before resting.
Beiyuan saw that although Daiyu looked haggard, she was in good spirits, so he said, "Sister, we both came to Beijing and bought a house privately, and we haven't informed the Jia family until now. I don't know what grandma will think."
When Daiyu heard this, she flicked the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Our Lin's mansion is Lin's mansion, and their Jia's mansion is Jia's mansion. My grandmother is just my grandmother." Bei Yuan: "Just tell me what you want to ask, don't play tricks in front of my eyes."
Lin Beiyuan admired Daiyu for seeing her so transparently. He bowed and said, "My sister is right. Originally, when my father was around, I couldn't stay too far away from Jia's house when I was thinking of my mother. But the two of us Having been to Jia's Mansion, I naturally know that the mansion looks very lively, but in fact it eats people and doesn't spit out bones. Besides, my Lin Mansion was originally a noble family, so it's better to be far away from this Duke's Mansion."
After Beiyuan finished speaking, seeing Daiyu's face turned red, thinking about Lin Ruhai's mention of Taijun Jia's letter before his death, he deliberately played tricks on Daiyu, so he said: "It's not just me who wants to write the original Jia's mansion." Yes, I think my brother-in-law is from the Jia family, so I can't leave him for the rest of my life."
After hearing this, Daiyu spat, stared at Beiyuan, and said: "Let's not talk about anything else, just one thing, I will definitely not be able to get along with him. This Jia Baoyu reads sage books but talks about those luxuries all day long." Beetle, our father has studied since he was a child and was a high school prospect, Bei Yuan, you have also followed this path of official career since you were a child. Who is he talking about?"
Bei Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know how the Jia family treats such a person as a treasure."
Daiyu said with a smile: "When I was in Yangzhou, I heard that there was such a brother who was born with a jade title. I thought it was such a special person. It turned out to be an embroidered pillow, but the grandmother wrote to my father saying that I am a child. How good is your relationship with him? What do you take me for? Not to mention the unclean place he took you to, just what he said about the Xue family girl in the mansion all day long, I feel ashamed when I think about it, the reputation of a girl's family is so important, how could she say those things to a man in front of many girls and women before leaving the cabinet." Daiyu felt embarrassed when she said that.
Bei Yuan smiled and said, "It turns out that my sister would also be embarrassed."
Daiyu said: "I was ashamed by them."
Daiyu and Beiyuan both had great filial piety, so naturally it was inconvenient for them to go out, but they didn't know that Mother Jia was unwilling to let her precious grandson get involved with the daughter of the Xue family, and sent someone to raise Yangzhou again. He brought Beiyuan to the capital, and the other party found out that he had lived in the capital for a long time after inquiring.
When Jia Mu heard this, she just didn't believe it, thinking that Lin Beiyuan had kidnapped Daiyu, so she even sent someone to Lin's mansion to deliver the post.
The current butler of the Lin Mansion is Lin Fu, an old housekeeper from Yangzhou. He is standing at the door of the Jia Manor. He thinks that the young master and the young lady have already given orders. Because both of them value filial piety, they always refuse visitors. Yes, it's just that this Jia's house is also the girl's maternal ancestral home after all.
After thinking about it, she went to report back to Daiyu. Seeing that it was Lin Zhixiao's family who came this time, Daiyu was very humble when she saw that she just lowered her head and sent Jia Mu's letter up.
Looking at the letter, Daiyu first asked about her physical condition, and then blamed Daiyu as an elder for why she didn't come to Jia's mansion. There was a hint between the lines that Beiyuan urged Daiyu to do so.Daiyu thought that although she didn't like Jia's mother's way of doing things and talking, but in the end it was her grandmother, which was really good for her, and it was really not easy to reply to this letter. Looking at Lin Zhixiao's family who was still standing, Daiyu had no choice but to order Xueyan to bring some items back for her to take back. She only said that the Lin family's brothers and sisters valued their filial piety and it was inconvenient to live in the Jia's mansion.
But when Jiamu saw Lin Zhixiao's return and answered, she thought over Daiyu's words twice, and then she said to Sister Feng: "Your sister Lin is too polite, just because of this Xiaoxiao, you don't come here. This kid is just too disciplined."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting at the head of the old lady, gave a pause in her hand, feeling very unhappy. This Xue Baochai's father died, so the whole family came here to join him. After all, he has lived in Jia's mansion for several years. , doesn't this mean that Xue's mother and daughter don't follow the rules.
