Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"I say, when will you stop being so kind?"

"Why don't you just not go, okay?"

"It would save you from having to mention Princess Chaoyang's pitiful story."

Jia Tanchun glared at him sideways.

Shi Xiangyun quickly explained, "Isn't this what I'm telling you?"

"We are sisters. Don't tell anyone. No one will know."

"You have a big mouth. I'm afraid you'll get into trouble every day when I'm with you." Jia Tanchun gently put away the invitation and said angrily.

I only heard Shi Xiangyun ask,

"So what are we going to wear?"

"Will she invite other young ladies to her summer garden party? Would we, who are dressed in blue, be suitable?"

As she spoke, Shi Xiangyun tugged at her cotton skirt.

Jia Tanchun patted her shoulder.

"Okay, just wear whatever clothes you think are best."

"We are not some rich lady now."

"We are now market girls."

Hearing this, Shi Xiangyun rested her hand on her cheek and leaned back on the table.

"I hope this time, she can give me a buddy too."

"Think about what you can do?" Jia Tanchun teased her.

"You can't be like Fourth Sister and follow Miaoyu in chanting sutras!"

When she mentioned her fourth sister, Shi Xiangyun stood up straight again.

"You said that Fourth Sister is really something. When she heard that Miaoyu went back to Longcui Nunnery, she followed her happily."

"She really wants to live a life of seclusion and meditation for the rest of her life!"

Jia Tanchun looked at the scorching sun outside and couldn't help saying,

"What's the big deal? She has been a loner since she was little. She doesn't like to see people. She's nothing like you, who always goes wherever there's a crowd."

Shi Xiangyun held back her laughter, and suddenly a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.

"That's right, but there's one thing. Do you think we should notify Sister Bao?"

Jia Tanchun's face changed, and her eyebrows knitted slightly.

"If you want to inform her, then you can, but I think she already knows."

"Everyone was defeated in a blink of an eye. Aunt Xue lost all her family property in order to save her son."

"The two of them argued from time to time."

"She has been coming here quite frequently recently."

Hearing this, Shi Xiangyun also sighed.

"What do you think Second Brother means? He has been ignoring Sister Bao all the time. The two of them are like strangers."

"It's said that they are engaged, but this is worse than before."

Jia Tanchun sighed slightly and did not answer.

She also didn't know when her second brother became like this?

And judging from the look on Second Brother's face, he doesn't seem to want to take things any further with Sister Bao.

This is not a easy thing to do!

……

On the other side, Zhou Rui's wife, who had a flowered bun on her head, walked up to Mrs. Wang and whispered,

"Second Madam, I just went out to buy groceries.

"Someone sent me a note like this."

"Say it's for you."

As she spoke, Zhou Ruijia handed the note to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was cooking porridge with her head down, ever since she came out of the cold palace.

She suddenly fell in love with drinking porridge.

I also make a few bowls of it myself from time to time.

Wang Ziteng died suddenly, and the Wang family collapsed immediately.

Now several families are fighting for the little remaining finances.

I don't know what's happening with the caravans and fleets.

The lawsuits continued.

Now I am living a worse life than myself.

Thinking of this, she leaned back on a stool.

He took the note handed over by Zhou Ruijia.

When he opened it, his face turned pale.

My fingers tremble uncontrollably.

Her eyes immediately turned to Zhou Rui's question.

"Who gave it to you?"

Zhou Ruijia's eyelids twitched a few times.

Then he said,

"Second Madam, it was actually sent here by Granny Liu."

"Ask if you would like to see me?"

Madam Wang's lips trembled.

Oh my god... ?

Not going… ?

She was in deep hesitation.

Finally decided to go.

How did you end up at Granny Liu's place?

Thinking of this, she said to Zhou Ruijia,

"Mrs. Zhou Rui, go borrow a carriage."

"Let's go to the farm."

Zhou Ruijia put down her vegetable basket.

"Second Madam, Granny Liu is waiting outside. She has a carriage."

"And brought us some fresh vegetables."

"It's not because I'm afraid that you, Madam, will look down on these things."

“So it wasn’t sent in.”

Mrs. Wang looked back at her broken pot and cold stove and said self-deprecatingly,

"What else do we want to miss? We won't be able to eat soon."

"The two cents Baoyu earns are barely enough to make ends meet."

"The master also wants him to take the scientific examination."

"He said he asked someone to register for it."

"When the emperor ascends the throne, he must hold a special examination."

"Now I'm out writing letters from morning till night, how can I have time to read?"

Zhou Ruijia's face fell.

"Our Master Bao is really too reserved and too stubborn."

"My aunt once asked someone to give him some money, but he refused to accept it."

"Now Brother Lang is concentrating on studying."

"Grandma's family gave her some money, and she kept it tightly."

"It doesn't leak out at all."

"Nowadays, everyone is very strict."

"Now it's hard for us."

"Mrs. Xing lives and eats with the old lady all day long."

"My aunt would send some delicious food from time to time, and she ate more than the old lady."

"They don't even want to leave any leftovers."

"Look at me here,"

At this point, Zhou Ruijia shook her vegetable basket.

“They are just leftover leaves.”

"I got scolded today for trying to grab some leftover leaves. My old face is worthless now."

After hearing Zhou Ruijia's complaints, Mrs. Wang looked unhappy.

"Are you dissatisfied with the fact that you are living here with me?"

Zhou Ruijia immediately shut up when she heard this.

I have followed Mrs. Wang since I was a child. If I don’t follow her, I really have nowhere to go.

I was afraid that I had offended too many people.

The one who is snatching the vegetable leaves from me today and scolding me is the one I once beat.

Alas, this tit for tat comes too swiftly.

While Zhou Rui's wife was thinking about this, Mrs. Wang had already changed her clothes.

"Let's go!"

Greeting her, the two of them went straight out.

At the door, Granny Liu and the old lady were sitting together chatting.

Each person has a small stool.

The rise of chat.

Seeing Madam Wang and Mrs. Zhou Rui coming out,

Grandma Liu said to the old lady, "Grandma, I'll bring you fresher ones next time I come back."

"I sent this eggplant and pepper to the Lin family's aunt. The Lin family's young lady liked it very much."

"She really is worthy of being the empress. She looks just like in the painting."

"The key is not to be so arrogant. You have to be so polite when talking to an old lady like me."

"You will enjoy happiness in the future. You are just a dragon swimming in the shallows now."

While talking about Aunt Liu, she pointed at the huge courtyard and sighed.

The old lady looked at her, just smiled with relief and nodded continuously.

At this time, Mrs. Wang came over and said,

"Mother, Mrs. Zhou and I are going to take Granny Liu's car to go out for a while."

Before Lady Jia could say anything, Mrs. Xing heard it.

"Haha, are you going to slack off?"

"It's your turn to cook, why are you so busy?"

Mrs. Wang glared at her and said unhappily,

"If I don't cook, don't you have an excuse to eat what the Lin family sent?"

"I can't shut you up."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xing was about to jump up and curse again.

She is very skilled in this business.

However, this time, Mrs. Wang ignored her.

She got on Granny Liu's carriage,

"Deer... drive"

The carriage rushed towards the village.
