Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Even if Jia Baoyu could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, it would no longer be the Duke's Mansion, and the help he could get would be limited.

The most difficult thing was to convince herself, so Wang Xifeng made up her mind secretly.

She suddenly said again,

“I can donate part of the proceeds to the college.”

"Can I borrow your strength for a bit?"

Lin Daiyu looked at her with a half-smile, "Second sister-in-law, I don't have a good impression of the Wang family, so forget about the idea of ​​borrowing power!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of everything at sea. If someone uses my name to do something illegal, I won't be able to do anything about it."

“If you can donate, I welcome it.”

"As long as it is formal and legal income, it can be used as a donation."

Wang Xifeng looked a little gloomy. If she didn't lend him some strength, it would be very difficult for her to act.

Without people from official circles, who would recognize the Wang family?

Wang Xifeng still had a sad look on her face.

Before she knew it, she and Lin Daiyu were back with the Jia family.

"Have you finished your personal conversation?" Jia Tanchun joked.

Wang Xifeng pretended not to hear.

Jia Yingchun said to her,

"You are the only one who talks too much. Let's go back soon!"

"It's not good to be out for too long."

"I still have some work to do!"

"Did the lady give you all the work?" Shi Xiangyun asked involuntarily, her eyebrows unconsciously furrowed.

Yingchun smiled softly, "Not really, it's just that I have to do some embroidery work myself."

There was a hint of shame in his tone.

Because of the engagement with the Lin family, Mrs. Xing couldn't exploit herself too much.

It is really the marriage contract that protects me.

Hearing her speak made her anxious, Jia Tanchun replied directly for her,

"It's just embroidering the dowry!"

Oh, suddenly other people understood.

Lin Daiyu also suppressed her laughter.

"Second sister, if you have anything to say, please speak up. If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Yongyi will be the current patriarch of the Lin family."

"He can't come out until he passes the imperial examination or has a successor."

"I heard he was also actively selecting someone else."

"But I seem to have looked at several of them but none of them satisfied me."

"Second sister, if you become the clan leader's wife, you can't be so soft and sticky anymore."

"You know, your serious mother-in-law is very powerful."

Lin Daiyu's words made Yingchun's face turn pale, and she became a little hesitant about getting married.

Tanchun immediately said in surprise,

"What should I do? When I was unmarried, it was great to meet someone like the eldest lady."

"When I get married, I'll meet a powerful mother-in-law again."

"Second sister is guilty."

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Yingchun who was deeply troubled and had no choice but to comfort her.

"Several ways,"

"First, we must urge Brother Yongyi to pass the imperial examination."

"Second, get some powerful helpers, dowry maids and old women, to help you fight your mother-in-law."

Seeing Yingchun's face turn even paler, Lin Daiyu quickly changed her words.

"Of course, there's no need to be so scared. With my mother here, she won't dare to do anything."

"Also, my Lin family has a rule that only those who are 40 years old and childless can be allowed to take concubines."

"It will probably put pressure on you."

"But all of this can be left to Brother Yongyi. As long as she puts pressure on you, you put pressure on Brother Yongyi."

"He will certainly settle the matter with his mother. If he doesn't, just write to me."

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter and looked at Jia Yingchun, whose face was blushing.

Jia Yingchun was being stared at and could not help but cover her face with her hands to hide it.

Wang Xifeng seemed to have figured something out, and suddenly raised her eyes and asked,

"When did your Lin family make this rule?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said,

“It’s been stipulated for several months!”

"Ah!..." Several people joked with each other in surprise.

It was like a summer breeze blowing away the dark clouds.

……

Xue Baochai was a little confused. On the way back, she quietly asked Tanchun,

"After seeing Qiu Shuang Zhai now, don't you feel sad?"

"Why are you still chatting and laughing with Miss Lin?"

Jia Tanchun had a hint of sneer on her lips.

"What does Sister Yibao mean? I should be resentful and angry."

"Who do I hate? Do I hate my elder sister? Or do I hate the former emperor, or do I hate the current sister Lin of the Lin family?"

Seeing that Xue Baochai was speechless after being asked by her, Shi Xiangyun looked at her unfriendlyly.

Jia Tanchun then said calmly,

"If this hatred has nowhere to go, it is better to be happy in reality."

"Besides, there are only a few people in this world who know the Queen."

"If you think about it this way, there won't be any regrets."

"We don't have a legitimate daughter like Sister Yuanchun here, so we have long learned to survive in the cracks."

"We really can't compare to Sister Bao in this regard."

"Love and hate are clearly distinguished."

Xue Baochai's face turned pale when she heard what was said. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand again and again, as if she had a lot of energy but nowhere to vent it.

The wind outside the car messed up my hair.

She bit the strand of hair that drifted by accidentally with her teeth, chewing it silently until it broke.

She saw that the entrance of Qingwen Brocade Store was even more bustling now.

There is a queue again.

Everyone is a pushover. A piece of cloth or a piece of clothing can be bought from anywhere, but if it is the shop of the future queen, it seems a bit more upscale!

After returning to the Jia family compound, they first went to visit Grandmother Jia.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Jia's mother's room, I heard sobbing sounds from inside.

Everyone's expression changed and their pace quickened.

Now, Grandmother Jia can't afford any problems.

Wang Xifeng was the first to knock on the door.

Hearing Grandmother Jia say "Come in"

Then several people pushed the door open and entered.

I saw Grandmother Jia sitting on an ordinary four-legged square chair.

His face was gloomy.

Mrs. Wang beside her also had a look of disgust on her face.

The one kneeling and crying was actually Shi Yifang.

“Aunt, I went to the Lin family several times and wanted to apologize to Jia Min.”

"I knelt at the door until my legs were swollen, but no one paid any attention to me."

"I didn't mean to do that."

“I was deceived, too.”

"Aunt, what shall I do? I have nowhere to go."

"The historians don't want me anymore."

"aunt……"

Today, Shi Yifang has gone through countless setbacks, and looks old and haggard, almost the same age as Lady Jia.

Grandmother Jia looked at her coldly from above.

"What's the point of you kneeling here?"

"I am just an old woman with nothing now, and I can't help you."

"Besides, don't you have children?"

When she heard about her children, Shi Yifang burst into tears.

"I don't know where my daughter has gone, and I don't want to look for her anymore. She has a big heart, and I can't catch up with her."

"Son? Since the victory of Prince Nan'an, the Fang family has also resigned from all official positions."

"I went to the countryside to farm."

"They also took my son to the countryside to farm."

"Have pity on my son!"

At this point, Shi Yifang's tears rolled down like beads that had broken off the string.

What's the point of living in this life? But I can't die no matter how many times I try.

I still miss you!

"Shi Yifang, if you can't stand up for yourself, your son can't stand up for himself either."

"If he could find another way to make a living, why would he be coerced by the Fang family again?"

“This may be his final choice.”

"Get up! I can't help you."

Jia's mother's heart felt like it was cut by a knife, the pain was unbearable.

I have watched so many children go to the end of their lives.

But you have to live, and live with gritted teeth.

If anything happens to me, these children will become slaves.

Even allowed to be bullied.

Look at those girls in brothels, some of them were once from good families!

At this time, Jia Tanchun and others came back, with some smiles on their faces.

So she asked, "How was the trip?"

Shi Yifang knelt aside, staring at Shi Xiangyun, tears flowing uncontrollably.
