Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"I won't go. The family still needs to be taken care of." Wang Xifeng shook her head, with a hint of embarrassment between her brows.

Going to her aunt's house to question her would obviously be a failure, and she didn't want to get involved in this trouble.

To be able to deal with people in all aspects, you need not only courage but also a bit of shrewdness.

Upon hearing this, Grandmother Jia frowned slightly and glanced at Wang Xifeng angrily, as if she understood what she was thinking.

Mrs. Wang was not willing to give in. She stood up and said sternly, "How can you not go? If you don't go, who will serve the old lady? This is not the time to be idle."

Mrs. Wang thought to herself, I have to go, even though I really don’t want to see Jia Min’s face, but this is a big deal.

Moreover, she really wanted to see Jia Min's hypocritical face, which made her so angry that she was fuming because of Jia She's unruly behavior.

That would be pure fun.

When Wang Xifeng is not around, I have to serve her.

Then it will be you who will be embarrassed.

Under the double pressure, the clever Wang Xifeng had to nod in agreement.

So it was decided, and Jia She was asked to call Lady Xing and all the other heads of the Rongguo Mansion to go.

……

There was no conversation that night, and the next morning,

The winter light shines on the gate of Rongguo Mansion. No matter how bright it is, it also has a sense of weakness.

Grandmother Jia wore a large cloak, a gray squirrel warm muffler, and rode in a dark green warm velvet sedan chair.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng rode in the same sedan chair.

Behind it followed a green sedan chair with a maid sitting inside.

All men ride on horses.

Before leaving, Jia Zhen and Youshi from Ning Mansion didn't know what was going on, so they sent someone to ask.

"Why did old lady mobilize so many troops in the middle of winter?"

"Do you need us to serve you?"

Grandmother Jia had already thought of an excuse, "No need, I'm just going to relax and visit my niece at the Lin family."

"I heard she was frightened."

"Since my daughter came to the capital, I haven't visited the Lin family yet. I'd like to take this opportunity to go visit her."

Youshi and Jia Zhen were a little stunned. The elders came to visit the younger ones in the coldest months of the year.

Is this because she is spoiled too much, or is the daughter of the Lin family no longer capable?

Never heard of it!

"Ask, go and find out what happened. Did he get hurt that day?"

Grandmother Jia also felt bitter. She also felt that mobilizing such a large force was a bit excessive, but if she didn't go, who would go?

Are they really going to send only Jia She?

She was really worried.

If Jia She really made enemies with the Lin family because of his inability to speak and act, and exposed his family's shame, he would really not have a good ending.

As she walked, the headband on Lady Jia's head felt cold.

She felt that she was really a joke, and in order to avoid becoming a big joke, she had to contribute to small jokes one by one.

Mrs. Xing in the car behind had a very long face and kept complaining in a low voice.

"I don't know who came up with this bad idea."

"No year or festival, no wedding or marriage, the whole family goes out to see their daughter getting married."

"This is just watching my daughter without a mother-in-law, otherwise it would be a famine."

"They are all from wealthy families. In terms of etiquette, they are not as good as people from a small family like me."

Mrs. Wang couldn't stand it any longer and said to her, "Don't say such sarcastic words. The idea was proposed by the master."

"Who do you think is willing to go to the Lin family?"

"If you know etiquette, go and cooperate with the master!"

"I see that you two are getting along very well."

"Sister-in-law is a truly virtuous person."

At this point, Mrs. Wang sneered. She no longer paid attention to Mrs. Xing's changing face.

The Buddhist beads in her hand gave her a warm feeling.

When Mrs. Xing heard that it was the master who brought it up, her voice immediately became hoarse and she paused for a moment.

Looking at Wang Xifeng who was pretending not to pay attention to this side,

"It would be nice to go and have a look. My relatives who live so close to me haven't been there yet."

"But this is just my aunt's ignorance. When she first arrived at the Lin family in the capital, she should have held a banquet to entertain the relatives."

"But it's not too late now."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but admire him a little. It turned out that a stupid person could be invincible.

Like Madam Xing, the master took in concubines one after another, but Madam Xing lived a lively life and was so virtuous that she felt justified.

She is ruthless, penniless and powerless, never panicked or angry. Mrs. Xing is truly a deity!

One is the mother-in-law and the other is the aunt. Wang Xifeng's drooping eyebrows are covered with a layer of dust.

She also wanted to be in high spirits, but she always found it difficult to do so.

……

The sound of horse hooves on the long street is like a leisurely stroll in the garden.

Jia She even felt a few rays of sunlight shining on his face.

Today I will be full of joy.

Ever since I can remember, as the eldest son, I have always been outshined by my younger brother.

He is neither good at literature nor martial arts, his father doesn't love him, his mother doesn't care about him, and he is often beaten and scolded.

Anyway, it's like this, there's no need to feel sorry for yourself, it's better to enjoy and let go...

Jia Zheng's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He would compare Jia Min before she got married with Jia Min now.

They are like two completely different people.

In the past, he and Jia Min were the closest in age, and they were siblings, so their relationship was quite good.

Now it’s not just about estrangement but also about resentment due to money, and hatred due to resentment.

……

At the Lin family, when the doorman saw several sedan chairs arriving at the door from the street corner, he was so surprised that he couldn't even greet them properly.

Jia She looked down at the Lin family's gatekeeper.

"Report to your mistress, her mother and brother are here!"

"Tell her to come out and greet you quickly."

"Okay! Please wait a moment." The doorman shouted, and another person ran out.

The one who had just run out looked at the scene at the Jia family and frowned.

A whistle sounded, and two more people came out.

The two men walked up to the gatehouse and whispered to each other.

A man led a horse from the stable, jumped on it, and galloped away.

The other man waited until the horse was out of sight before trotting back to the mansion.

"Report, Madam, Master, Miss, the old lady of our family is here."

……

Jia Min and Lin Daiyu are training their newly bought parrot Huazi.

After hearing the report, Jia Min was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

what happened?

So sudden!

"I'll go out right away." Jia Min responded hastily.

Then he looked down at the clothes on himself and Daiyu. They were both wearing only thin, close-fitting jackets.

This is shameful.

"Oh, no! Bring in mother and brother first."

"Quick, Mammy, Banxia, ​​have someone add a few more heaters to the hall so the fire is burning vigorously."

After hearing this, Banxia hurried out to give instructions. Rong Mama picked up the parrot cage and took it to the flower hall to decorate it.

While giving the order, Jia Min reflected on herself, wondering if she hadn't seen her mother much recently.

My mother must be angry. She heard that my brother and sister-in-law had also come, and they must be here to hold me accountable.

"Daiyu, hurry up, hurry up, let's go change our clothes. We don't need to dress so formally."

"Keep it simple!"

The two of them moved quickly as if they were on a roller coaster.

……

The Lin family's door was wide open.

The Jia family's sedan chair was carried all the way to the entrance of the flower hall.

Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing... walked into the flower hall with the help of their maids.

As soon as I entered the flower hall, a warm feeling came over me and enveloped my whole body.

With every breath, a faint floral fragrance lingers, with occasional bird calls and the sound of gurgling water adding to the fun.

At first glance, Jia She was stunned.
