Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

The Lin family really enjoys life.

The flower hall is not that big, but it is exquisite.

The rockery, which required four or five people to hug, was so small compared to the one in the Grand View Garden that it was not worth mentioning. There was also water flowing day and night.

Green plants and dripping water droplets surround the rockery.

It converges into the spring in this winter.

Famous calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall on one side.

Various bamboo chairs and wooden tables are arranged in an orderly manner and are used by the owner to handle affairs in the mansion.

Jia She praised, "This is the calligraphy and painting of Qiu Renzhou (made-up name), it is a waste of natural resources to hang it up like this."

He turned to Lady Jia and said, "Mother, did you see it?"

“The calligraphy and painting on it are not cheap.”

Grandmother Jia glared at Jia She helplessly, thinking that this was a man who could not move a step after seeing such a good thing and was blind.

"Do you have few calligraphy and paintings?"

“They are all famous ones.”

"Speaking of which, selling your calligraphy and paintings can also raise some money."

When Jia She heard that someone was going to touch his things, he straightened his neck and said, "That won't do."

"That's my fate."

Grandmother Jia sneered and said, "Whether your life can be saved depends on us today."

"The inner core is already empty. If that doesn't work, we'll have to move on the surface."

Only then did Jia She realize that he came here with a mission today.

Thinking of this, he changed into a dignified posture and sat on the chair.

The maids of the Lin family came over one after another to bring tea, water, and towels.

Then Rong Mama entered the flower hall carrying a colorful parrot.

She hung the parrot lightly on the bird stand at the door.

Then he stepped forward and bowed to Lady Jia and all the ladies and grandmothers.

"I don't know why the old lady and several ladies are here. Our lady is not well prepared and is changing her clothes. It's really slow for her to come here right away."

Grandmother Jia didn't say anything. Jia She held on to his dignity and said,

"Your master didn't even go out to greet us. He hasn't come yet this morning. He's really being too arrogant. I thought he didn't welcome us."

Before Rong Mama could say anything, the colorful parrot jumped in the cage and chirped.

【Welcome, welcome,】

Madam Rong scolded the parrot, "Shut up!"

The macaw stopped talking.

Rong Mama turned to the crowd and explained with a smile, "See what the eldest master is talking about. Madam is always looking forward to her family coming over."

“I’m afraid that all the masters and ladies are busy people, noble people, and look down on the Lin family.”

"Arong, you don't need to sweet-talk me. You are still the one I chose for my daughter." At this time, Grandmother Jia interrupted Aunt Rong.

This Rong Mama is the wet nurse of my daughter, how could she not understand? It would be okay to give her a few words of criticism.

"I see your loyalty, and now you have learned to evade me."

"Old lady, I dare not. I am speaking from the bottom of my heart."

Aunt Rong said this in fear and was about to bow again. The old lady's words were a bit harsh.

But she was Jia Min's wet nurse, and Jia Min was her own daughter. She couldn't think too much about the matter of former master and later master.

Grandmother Jia waited indifferently for Rong Mama to finish her formal greetings before continuing,

"We are all doing this for Min'er's good. There is no need to say anything empty at this moment. You are not young anymore. Why do you have to kneel down like this?"

"Thank you, old lady, for your consideration." After saying that, Madam Rong stood up with her back bent.

At this time, Jia's mother's tone softened. She then asked Rong Mama, "You have always been with Min'er. Who manages the shop outside?"

"Do you know?"

Rong Mama was stunned for a moment, "Madam, the shop is usually managed by the shopkeeper, just report the bill on time."

"Do you know the Yonglin Pawnshop? Who manages it?" Grandmother Jia's voice rose a few notches.

Rong Mama really didn't know about this, and when she mentioned the pawnshop, she thought of the time when she was cheated and almost fell ill at the door of the pawnshop in Yangzhou.

So she is disgusted with pawnshops.

She felt that those things were all blood-sucking.

So she answered subconsciously, "Where is this pawnshop?"

she does not know?

When Jia She heard that there was a flaw here, how could he not be anxious? He asked anxiously,

"Madame Rong, Yonglin Pawnshop doesn't belong to the Lin family?"

Madam Rong shook her head blankly.

"I don't know! I haven't heard Madam mention the pawnshop. The old lady should know about Madam's dowry."

“There is no pawn shop.”

"Of course I know about the dowry. Was this pawnshop set up by Lin Ruhai of the Lin family?"

Jia She asked anxiously.

Aunt Rong shook her head again.

But although Rong Mama was old, she was still not too confused. She saw that no one in the Jia family asked about the lady, the young master, or the young lady, but kept asking about the pawnshop.

She became cautious, fearing that her talking too much might ruin the lady's business.

"Well... old lady, I've gotten old in recent years and I don't really care about things anymore."

"Sometimes I always forget things and often look for things with my hands,"

“Sometimes I can’t even remember what I ate yesterday.”

"You should ask your wife these questions."

Grandmother Jia looked at Madam Rong with a smile on her face. This Madam Rong was truly loyal.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang spoke up, "Then let me ask you someone who knows something."

"Is your lady still going out a lot lately?"

This question made Rong Mama sweat. She looked up at Madam Wang.

This bodhisattva-like lady is setting a trap for the young lady.

No matter whether I answer yes or no, it makes people feel that the lady is in the spotlight all day long.

Rong Mama now felt that her brain could not keep up. She shook her head and said, "Madam, how can I, a servant, know about the young lady's affairs?"

"Don't you know or won't you tell me?" Mrs. Wang asked sarcastically.

Rong Mama answered affirmatively, "Madam, I really don't know."

Mrs. Wang snorted. She had been thinking of making a few more sarcastic remarks, but then she felt that it would be boring to argue with a servant.

Then he shut his mouth.

At this time, Aunt Rong understood that these people had bad intentions and were not simply here to see the lady.

In order to prevent my wife from getting into trouble, I have to go and report the news.

It would be bad if the maid spread this.

Thinking of this, Rong Mama straightened her back and said apologetically to Jia's mother, "Madam, I'll go see how the kitchen is preparing."

"Be sure to prepare something rich today."

Grandmother Jia nodded and waved her hand to let her leave.

A woman is really of no use.

"You don't have to prepare too much. I'm tired of eating abalone and lobster. Just get some fresh southern food."

This is Jia She, he felt he needed to be polite and at the same time help save some money.

When Grandmother Jia heard her son speak, she thought he was really stupid, so she glared at him.

"you shut up!"

Jia She was stunned for a moment by the scolding. Before he could come to his senses, he heard the colorful parrot raising its mouth and shouting,

【I shut up! 】

There was a hint of grievance in his voice.

At this time, Madam Rong was not in the mood to care about the etiquette issues of the parrot.

She said goodbye in a hurry and left.

Jia She saw that the parrot was interesting, so he walked up to it.

"What's your name? Can my sister and I take you later?"

[Beggar, beggar...]
