Yang Kang was reborn to Lin Mansion

Chapter 23

Early in the morning, Jia Lian took the bank notes and some gifts, and arrived at the gate of Lin's residence in a carriage.

Unexpectedly, there were people coming and going at the gate of Jia's mansion today, and after inquiring about it, I found out that today is actually a good day for Lin's mansion to entertain the students of the same period.Jia Lian felt annoyed when he heard this, and came here after inquiring about it.

But since he came, he had to inform the concierge. The concierge of Lin's mansion was from Yangzhou, so he knew a little about Jia's mansion.Immediately took Jia Lian to the reception room to wait, and never let him meet those who came to the banquet.

Lin Beiyuan set up two tables of wine in the pavilion of the lotus pond. The dishes were average, but the style was exquisite, which was pleasing to the eye.Those who were invited were also very honored, and a group of people were chatting and laughing, quite speculative.

Lin Beiyuan heard that Jia Lian was coming, but he thought about it for a while before he remembered that he was the eldest son of the Jia family. He hadn't seen him for three years, but he almost forgot.

I had to get off the table first and go to the living room.

Jia Lian originally thought that Lin Beiyuan would come immediately, but he didn't know that he had waited for a long time. After drinking three bowls of tea, Lin Beiyuan came late.

Seeing Jia Lian's unwavering expression, Lin Beiyuan immediately clasped his fists and said, "Cousin Lian, please forgive me. Cousin, I invited some colleagues today. I made my cousin wait here for a long time. I'm really sorry."

Seeing Lin Beiyuan's kindness, Jia Lian couldn't lose face, so he could only say: "Your cousin is being polite, socializing is a business, and I should wait for the meeting."

Lin Beiyuan said: "I just don't know what's the matter with my cousin coming!"

Hearing this, Jia Lian smiled and said, "Cousin Lin is a high school student, I've come to congratulate him since then, and I took out a gift list and handed it to Beiyuan."

Lin Beiyuan took down the list with a smile, and said: "Cousin, you are welcome. We should have gone to your residence to pay our respects. It's just that we are busy with many things, and besides, my sister and I are just out of filial piety, so it is really inconvenient to disturb us."

Jia Lian was naturally happy when he heard this, and said: "Your cousin is too polite. We are relatives, so we don't have to pay so much attention." Then he took out the 600 taels of silver and put it on the table.

Bei Yuan secretly smiled, but asked with a serious face: "What's the meaning of this!?"

Jia Lian said naturally: "The imperial concubine is visiting relatives, and everything is messy, so the money has not been paid back."

Bei Yuan pushed out the bank note and said: "My lord, my surname is Lin, but I should do my best. How can I get this little money back?"

Jia Lian heard Beiyuan say this, and saw that his expression was solemn, not as if he was fake, thinking that Lin Beiyuan was very enlightened, so he took the money back and said: "Since my cousin is like this, then I won't give you the money." Pay it back."

Lin Beiyuan smiled and said: "If you don't pay back anything, it's a family, so the money will be given to you."

If Jia Lian hadn't been forced by Sister Jia's mother Feng to pay back the money, she is naturally happy now, holding Bei Yuan's hand and talking about fun things.

Lin Beiyuan only said that today is too busy, why not meet again at another time, Jia Lian nodded and agreed, thinking that although Lin Beiyuan was born in school, he didn't have that sour temper, and he was even more generous.

When Daiyu heard about this from Beiyuan in the evening, she lay down smiling, pointed at Beiyuan and said, "You are a narrow-minded ghost, holding on to the IOU with someone's fingerprints on it. If you really want to give money, just Just return the IOU together with him."

Bei Yuan said: "It's not that I won't give it. Just by looking at him, I know that he will be reluctant to pay back the money. Instead of doing this, it's better to give it to him. It's only 600 taels."

Daiyu curled her lips and said, "That's a big tone. If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive it is. When you marry a wife, let's see how she treats you."

Hearing this, Bei Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but he had never thought about it before, but he had already experienced the love of life and death in his previous life, and this time he was unwilling to just find someone to live with.

Seeing that Beiyuan was silent, Daiyu tentatively said: "Originally, parents should be the ones to make decisions about this important marriage, but you know the situation of our family. So I thought, I must marry a woman who is insightful and understands the general situation." .”

Bei Yuan leaned on the couch, took a sip of snacks, and said slowly: "Either marry someone who can help me, or marry someone who really loves each other."

Daiyu was taken aback when she heard this, and said, "I thought the miscellaneous books in your room were just for show, but I never thought you really liked these love stories."

Hearing this, Beiyuan looked at Daiyu and said, "Sometimes, this kind of love is more likely to kill people than any poison."

After hearing this, Daiyu stood up and said, "You are talking nonsense again, isn't the love between father and mother very harmonious and happy!"

Beiyuan wanted to laugh when he heard this, but seeing Daiyu's seriousness, he really couldn't bear to tell the truth, so he nodded and went back to the room.

When Jia Lian returned to the mansion, he went back to Jia's mother first, so he explained the matter of Lin Beiyuan clearly, and because he took Lin Beiyuan's 600 taels of silver, he only said good things about Lin Beiyuan.It is only said that the Lin family didn't come because they emphasized filial piety and were afraid of bringing bad luck to the Jia family, and because of the complicated affairs after the election, and because they were young and inexperienced.

Mother Jia was very happy when she heard this, and she just said: "Not to mention anything else, just say that my granddaughter is also filial, but this child is too respectful and filial. This thing of filial piety is dedicated."

Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang and others next to her naturally agreed, and Jia's mother was even more satisfied. She just waited for Lin Beiyuan and Daiyu to come to say hello that day.

After a few days, Daiyu and Beiyuan didn't come, Mother Jia didn't say anything, but her face was really ugly.When Wang Xifeng went back to the room, he asked Jia Lian if he didn't make it clear to Lin Beiyuan. Jia Lian thought that he had a good talk with Lin Beiyuan, so it must be because of complicated things that he didn't come.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most important thing was to respect teachers. Since Lin Beiyuan was in high school, many people in the capital also knew that his maternal ancestor's home was the Rongguo Mansion.Since Lin Beiyuan wanted to pursue an official career, he naturally couldn't keep his mouth shut, even if he was acting, he was very good at acting, but he encountered difficulties with Daiyu.

It turned out that Daiyu heard that Beiyuan was going to drag her to meet Jiamu, and she was unwilling to do so, thinking that although Jiamu didn't say anything about her, she only lived in the mansion for a few days before she died. how many things happened.But everyone in the capital has a book in their minds, and it's still my grandfather's house, so it's okay to be so perfunctory.

As soon as Daiyu and Beiyuan arrived at Jia's house, Jia's mansion opened the middle door to welcome them.Mother Jia even held Daiyu's hand for a long time. Although Daiyu didn't like Jia's house, she saw that Mother Jia had two parts of sincerity towards her, so she echoed her words, which coaxed Mother Jia to laugh.

It was inconvenient for Beiyuan to go to the inner house, and he was at Jia Zheng's side. Jia Zheng admired Lin Beiyuan quite a lot. Seeing Lin Beiyuan, he talked for a long time, asking what books he had read, and asking about economics. Career and the like.It's just that Jia Zheng is quite pedantic and stubborn.Beiyuan was really bored, so he asked, "I've been here for a long time, why haven't I seen cousin Baoyu?"

Only then did Jia Zheng remember that Baoyu had been called over a long time ago, and he was sent to look for it immediately.Baoyu knew that Sister Lin was coming, so he was very happy, but when he heard Jia Zheng's words from the servant, his heart turned cold.

Now that Jia Zheng came to look for him again, Mother Jia asked the boy to answer, saying that she was here with grandma.Daiyu feels uncomfortable seeing Baoyu's attentiveness, and even more uncomfortable seeing Xue Baochai's smiling appearance.After hearing Jiamu's words, she had no choice but to say: "Cousin, why not go and accompany Beiyuan, and take care of her instead of my older sister."

When Baoyu heard this, he naturally responded immediately.

It made Jia's mother say: "My two jade children are really a lovely couple."

Daiyu frowned after hearing this, thinking about what it meant!

Finally Baoyu left, and Jiamu took Daiyu to ask a few more questions. Seeing that the flowers on Daiyu's sleeves were well embroidered, she said, "This pattern is beautiful. What kind of pattern is it? I've never seen it before. "

Daiyu said: "This is the Malan flower on the ridge of the field. The Xiuniang in my house is used to embroidering these unknown little flowers, which made grandma laugh."

Jia's mother said: "It doesn't matter what kind of small flowers and big flowers, as long as it looks good, I also liked to make these flowers and grass when I was young, but now I am old, and I can't wear them anymore."

When Sister Feng heard this, she immediately said: "My ancestors, don't be self-effacing. Who doesn't know that the old ladies in our house like to wear clothes the most, and they all give a thumbs up and say they look good."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Do you praise me for being good-looking, or do you call me an old goblin?"

Sister Feng laughed to herself and said, "Of course it's pretty. People who don't know when they pick it up think that the old ancestor is my mother."

When Jia Mu heard this, she grinned and said, "Then you can call me Mom from now on."

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the room laughed.

After talking about the conversation, Jia's mother was a little tired, so she only asked Sister Feng to lead Daiyu to stroll around the garden.The other courtyard where the noble concubine was visiting relatives was naturally magnificent and colorful, and there were even those exotic flowers and plants competing for beauty, Daiyu was really happy to see it.After passing through Baoyu's Yihong Tower and the ** Pavilion, I came to Xue Baochai's Hengwu Garden.The other courtyards are either gorgeous or elegant. The fragrance of grass in the Hengwu Garden filled the courtyard, and people who smell it feel happy. But when they entered the house, Daiyu was only taken aback when she saw the decoration in the house. The half-worn gauze curtain There were two torn books on the table, could this be some little girl's house, she just said: "I don't know who lived here, and they destroyed the flowers and plants in Hengwu Garden."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Baochai's face turned pale, and she only bit her lips and said, "I didn't like these flowers and grass and other playthings, so I didn't want to be laughed at by my sister."

Daiyu didn't expect her to live there. Looking at her beautiful color, but the half-worn robe on her body was really unsightly, so she said: "I was young, so I naturally like some playthings, and I think these things are born to be manipulated." Besides, we women are born to enjoy life, if my sister is too thrifty, it will be looked down upon by Chia Zi."

When Baochai heard this, she naturally had a bad face, but according to her temperament, she had to hold back.

When Na Xichun saw it, she liked Daiyu quite a lot, so she stepped forward and pulled Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin likes these, why don't you go to my room, I'm used to liking these exquisite objects, but everyone talks about it on weekdays." Say, it's really boring."
