Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Grandma, Sister Lin wants to build a girls' school. We are all looking for a job with her."

Jia Tanchun stepped forward and bowed, then explained with a smile on her face.

"Oh, tell me about it." Grandmother Jia was very interested.

He looked at his granddaughters with a smile in his eyes, and they all talked to each other, describing the scene of the party.

The atmosphere started with a lull due to the lack of cooperation from the crowd, but later on Princess Nan'an arrived and the situation took a turn for the better.

When Jia Tanchun was halfway through her speech, Shi Xiangyun also took over the conversation.

When it comes to those people, they immediately sign up enthusiastically. Those who have money contribute money, and those who have strength contribute their strength.

Shi Xiangyun's description was even more vivid, and she would imitate the actions and language from time to time.

When Grandmother Jia heard this, she was delighted and asked hurriedly,

"Yun girl, what position did you accept?"

Shi Xiangyun's face darkened, "I plan to teach poetry."

“But it’s not decided yet.”

"If poetry and prose are not good enough, I will prepare for debate. There is always one thing that can be done."

"What about you?" Grandmother Jia turned and asked Jia Tanchun.

Jia Tanchun clenched her fists and encouraged herself, "Grandma, I'm going to try the libation wine!"

"What did you say?" Not only Lady Jia, but even Mrs. Wang's eyes, which had always been indifferent, became sharp.

What a big heart!

The Jia family can no longer accommodate this.

Xue Baochai also kept stealing glances at Mrs. Wang, and sure enough, Mrs. Wang looked unhappy.

This is anger.

As a concubine's daughter, if you make your mother angry, how can you expect to have good consequences?

It's nothing more than people who overestimate their own abilities admiring each other!

Jia Tanchun continued firmly,

"Grandma, mother, I want to try libation!"

A light flashed across Grandmother Jia's eyes and she nodded slightly.

Tanchun deserves the word "brave".

Madam Wang couldn't help glaring at him angrily.

I seem to have thought of something,

As expected, he overestimated his own abilities. It was fine when he was a child, but as he grew older, he looked more and more like Aunt Zhao.

I am just too soft-hearted, allowing these people to become more and more arrogant day by day.

Tolerance! I can't tolerate others?

However, she thought of what Yuanchun had said to her, not to be an enemy of Jia Min.

Do you still need me to be your enemy?

It was her ignorant daughter who helped her offend all the men in the world.

The wedding was still three years away, but she had already started using the Queen's wealth so early and was ordering all the ladies in the capital around.

This is also because the Lin family rose too fast and had long lost their aristocratic heritage, becoming arrogant.

I watched you build a tall building, I watched it collapse, and I am waiting to see whether you will cry like Shi Yifang three years later when your beautiful dream is shattered!

Thinking of this, she glanced at Xue Baochai.

"Bao girl, what about you?"

Xue Baochai smiled faintly.

"Aunt, I still have to help my mother with the housework. I can't finish some embroidery work every day, so I won't join in the fun."

Mrs. Wang looked at Xue Baochai with satisfaction. She was still sensible and virtuous.

At this time, only a virtuous wife and a good mother can make the family prosperous.

A dark light flashed across Xue Baochai's eyes.

Why didn’t the aunt punish Tanchun and others?

At this time, Shi Yifang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly said to Shi Xiangyun,

"Big girl, please take me in!"

"I am your aunt."

"Otherwise, if I leave here, I have nowhere to go. I was thinking of selling myself into a slave, but I don't know if there is anyone who would want me at my age."

"How about I sell it to you?"

Hearing this, everyone else immediately stopped talking and looked at her in surprise.

Is this person crazy? How can he say such a thing?

If an aunt sells her niece as a slave, is the niece still a human being?

"I called you an inhuman creature."

"I really misjudged you. I thought you were just pitiful, but I didn't expect you to be stupid."

"Your mother is a slave, and you just want to be a slave after all the twists and turns."

"Shi Yifang!"

"You're just going to push your child here?"

As she said this, Grandmother Jia pointed at her nose and cursed.

He wanted to give her a crutch, but when he saw her skinny body, he was afraid that the crutch would break or deform.

Shi Yifang didn't move. I'm so pitiful, what should I be afraid of?

Shi Xiangyun looked at her in surprise and couldn't help wondering, is this my aunt?

In the past few years, she kept talking about how good her father was to her and how good his father was to her.

How to take care of their younger siblings.

But in the end, these brothers and sisters forced his daughter to have nowhere to go.

Who is to blame for all this?

Shi Xiangyun couldn't understand, but she only knew that she couldn't let her be sold to others.

Since you want to sell it so much, then sell it to me.

Thinking of this, she smiled sadly at Grandmother Jia.

"Old lady, I'll buy her!"

Grandmother Jia couldn't help patting the edge of the chair, and the wrinkles on her face jumped up and down with anger.

"What an injustice!"

Shi Xiangyun only lowered her head and asked Shi Yifang, her words full of sarcasm.

"Mrs. Shi, how much are you selling it for?"

Shi Yifang lowered her head and trembled all over. She didn't expect that Shi Xiangyun really wanted to buy her.

Shouldn't she comfort her younger siblings like the eldest brother did and say that he was responsible for everything?

How can she still be called the eldest brother's daughter?

She rolled her eyes, suddenly feeling helpless, and looked at Shi Xiangyun pleadingly.

However, Shi Xiangyun still looked at her steadily, waiting for an answer.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer, which became more and more intense.

Shi Yifang was helpless and said angrily, "Just give it to me as you see fit!"

Shi Xiangyun's attitude changed immediately and she smiled sweetly.

"Then I'll give it to you,"

"One penny, what do you think, Madam Shi?"

"You..." Shi Yifang felt insulted.

A bun costs two cents?

With anger in her eyes, she said to Shi Xiangyun,

"Are you pushing me to death too?"

"Your temperament is so much like that of the elder brother, why do you want to force me?"

Shi Xiangyun shrugged, spread her hands casually, and said nonchalantly,

"Then Madam Shi, if you think the price I offered is too low, forget it."

"You are only worth this much to me. You are not as good as an ordinary woman at work."

"You're not young anymore. To be honest, I think the price is too high. Maybe it's not worth it outside."

"If the elder brother you are talking about is my father, then it's a good thing he died early, otherwise he would be so angry to death seeing you like this."

Others were also surprised that Shi Xiangyun's words were so harsh.

Shi Xiangyun has always been a righteous person and cannot bear to see the weak being bullied.

It has a bit of a chivalrous style.

At this time, Jia Tanchun felt that Shi Xiangyun had grown up.

After being cheated and hit again and again, I can no longer be kind-hearted.

But Xue Baochai felt shocked. Even Shi Xiangyun had changed.

Grandmother Jia's eyes also became wet.

"Hey……"

Shi Yifang looked around with a pleading and helpless look.

It seems that everyone despises me and wants to step on me under their feet.

Then be even more mean!

Thinking of this, she said directly, "Miss, I will sell it for nothing."

Shi Xiangyun stood up straight suddenly, clapped her hands, and said in an open-minded tone,

"Okay, deal!"

"As expected of a girl from my Shi family, she is ruthless and decisive."

"Cuilu, give her some paper and write the contract yourself!"

Cuilu answered yes and prepared to go to the house to get some paper.

I heard a voice coming from the door.

"I have one here. I'll give you one!"

Everyone looked and saw that it was Jia Baoyu who had returned.

Today, Jia Baoyu is no longer the jade-like young master he used to be. He goes out in the wind and rain every day, and his face has become more tough.

She was wearing a long green gown that hugged her slender waist.

The hair is tied up and secured with a wooden hairpin.

His eyes were still ruthless, his tone seemed cold,

But Xue Baochai was indeed a little sad when she saw this, because he didn't even glance at her.

Moreover, this dress seems somewhat similar to Lin Daiyu in the Grand View Garden today.
