Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Wow... The parrot's cries were like a direct humiliation, slapping me in the face, making it red and hot, and my whole body trembled.

"Ah..." Mrs. Xing was the first one to scream in anger. Her whole body was shaking. Because she used too much force, the hairpin on her head was shaking and twitching.

"Stop talking..." Jia's trembling voice was drowned out by the voices of her children, and she had no choice but to knock her cane "dong dong".

"Shut up..." Mrs. Wang's eyes widened even more, and she even looked a little panicked.

This is the cursed bird named "Hanako". How could it be so hateful?

It was like a blow to the head, hitting me right in the heart.

"How bold," Jia She felt as if his face was torn off and it was bleeding and painful.

Who in the capital dares to say this to my face? I will kick the crab roe out of his mouth.

You are a bird, how dare you talk to me like that? I will use you as a drink.

Jia She's eyes were filled with anger.

"It's really crazy." Wang Xifeng found this family a little ridiculous.

These are the elders whom I respect.

So what if someone calls us a beggar? Aren't we here to beg for money?

I am still being called Feng Lazi all day long,

Can you get money by being sanctimonious and pretentious?

Jia Lian and Jia Zheng were stunned and didn't know what to say.

Did you kill the bird?

Did Jia Min stay here on purpose to humiliate people?

Seeing Jia She staring at the bird with his eyes wide open, he was about to step forward, take down the birdcage, catch the bird and smash it to death.

Just then, this brainless parrot suddenly said something earth-shattering: [May the Queen Mother be blessed with good fortune and may she live forever]

[May the Empress Dowager live forever]

Jia She's hand suddenly stopped and did not move.

He was surprised, stunned, and at a loss.

Is this a birthday bird?

He looked around.

When they saw their mother, Jia Zheng and others were all dumbfounded.

He looked at Grandmother Jia eagerly, with a dry and aggrieved look, and called out, "Mother."

Grandmother Jia was in turmoil. She was too bold. Even if she was sending a gift, the risk outweighed the benefits.

How dare Lin Ruhai? How dare Jia Min? How dare they associate the Queen Mother with a beggar?

Who cares whether you will be lucky or not in the future? A beggar can turn you into a bloody beggar if he enters the throne room.

Just then, Jia Min and Lin Daiyu finally came hurriedly.

Jia Min changed into an orange-red Beijing embroidered skirt and jacket, and put on a thin woolen embroidered silk quilted cloak. She bowed hastily as she entered the room.

"Mother, I am late, please forgive me."

Lin Daiyu changed into a dark green jacket and skirt, put a pearl hairpin in her hair, and followed Jia Min, bowing respectfully.

"Come on! Who can accept your gift?"

"Stop being so hypocritical." Jia She had been waiting for a long time, making sarcastic remarks.

I have suffered such a great injustice, how can I feel better if I don't vent it as soon as possible.

If Jia Min came a little later, he was worried that he would forget what to say.

Before he came here, he made a wish in front of his mother, and today he is the first to come.

Jia She's blunt words left Jia Min stunned.

"Brother, you think I'm not treating you well enough and being a bit neglectful, right?"

"Don't worry, I have already instructed people to prepare the best southern dishes."

At this point, Jia Min showed a gratified smile. It was a rare opportunity for her mother and brother to come to the Lin family, so she had to perform well.

Yong'an will be back soon, and he will kowtow to his grandmother later.

I have been busy with my studies recently and haven't paid much attention to my grandmother and uncles.

Thinking of this, Jia Min's tone became more sincere.

"I will definitely do my best to entertain you. How can you say I am hypocritical?"

"As soon as we entered the door, we were called beggars. So we are here to beg for food?"

Jia Min's words were interrupted directly, and Jia She pointed at the parrot indignantly.

"You don't say it yourself, but you tell a bird to say it, Jia Min, Jia Min, you have made it!"

"Pfft!"

This time, not only Jia Min, but even Lin Daiyu couldn't help but laugh.

Jia Min couldn't help but smile and explain, "Brother, the name of this bird is Huazi."

"I originally wanted to change its name, but after I bought it, my two children thought the name was very interesting, so I didn't change it."

"Did you ask what it's called?"

Jia Min spoke with a smile, calm and composed.

She thought it was just a joke by a bird and not worth mentioning.

The anger on Jia She's face froze. The answer was so unexpected that he was unable to react for a moment.

But he lost the battle rather than the fight, and Jia She's words came quickly.

"What are the good names? Call them Brother Hua or Sister Hua. It doesn't have to mean colorful feathers so you have to call them something like that!"

"You can also call it Red Mouth. That's good. Yes, let's call it Red Mouth!"

"It sounds nice and auspicious."

Jia She started to rename the parrot on his own, with some interest.

Jia's mother couldn't stand it anymore, she coughed several times.

Remind Jia She that he has gone off topic.

What are you here for? Are you here to talk about parrots today?

This boss is incompetent and lustful. He can't move his legs when he sees someone he likes.

My brain was filled with molten iron and solidified.

Jia She was indifferent to the cough and looked at the parrot more carefully.

Jia Zheng couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and suddenly asked Jia Min, "Are you going to give this parrot as a birthday gift to the Queen Mother?"

Jia Min nodded. There was no need to hide this from her parents' home.

Besides, it wasn't an expensive gift.

It cost fifty taels of silver.

"No, the risk is too great. If someone asks the parrot's name at the birthday party, the parrot will suddenly say beggar,"

"This is not a blatant attempt to anger the Queen Mother."

"If the Queen Mother gets angry, won't you just be beheaded?" Jia Zheng said seriously.

"Didn't Lin Ruhai think of this? He is still so reckless after entering the capital."

"Where should I put my wife and children?"

"If the Queen Mother is angered, His Majesty's filial piety will be damaged. Where will that put the Emperor?"

"Lin Ruhai's actions were heartless and unrighteous."

“If a family is not a family and a country is not a country, it means that the foundation is severed.”

Jia Zheng lectured Jia Min so much that her face turned pale. She knew nothing about the affairs of the court.

She didn't want to worry about it either.

So she shook her head blankly, "Second brother, this is not my decision, I can't make the decision."

"This is a major court matter. How can I, a woman, interfere so much?"

Jia Zheng said sternly, "Slandering the Queen Mother and offending her is a serious crime."

"You don't pay attention to everything. Aren't you afraid that your children will lose their lives because of Lin Ruhai?"

At this point, he was filled with grief and indignation, "Sending a flattering bird to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and doing things to gain favor is courting death."

Jia Min's heart skipped a beat when she heard what was said. Her hands and feet felt a little weak, so she quickly pulled a chair and sat down.

She still felt a little resentful towards Madam Rong. She had just met Madam Rong on the way and Madam Rong reminded her that her mother and others had come with ill intentions.

Be careful with what you do.

Is this what my second brother is saying now?

Thinking of this, she still gritted her teeth and said, "Second brother, thank you."

"When my husband comes back, I'll discuss it with him and see if we can get a different gift."

Jia Zheng sighed. He was very dissatisfied with Jia Min's answer. He paused for a moment, as if trying to help Jia Min think of a solution.

Then he said earnestly,

“Jia Min, this is not a trivial matter, you must explain the harm clearly.”

"What will you do if Lin Ruhai disagrees?"

Jia Min was stunned. What should she do? If she didn't agree, then she didn't agree.

But Jia Zheng's voice continued, leaving her no time to react.

"If you really can't say it, just say it directly. If you, Lin Ruhai, still don't change and are still dancing on the edge of a knife, then let's get a divorce!"

Jia Zheng's words were so quiet that they were deafening.
