Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Mrs. Li Ya! You did a great job today. I will talk to my wife about it when I get back. I will remember your achievement."

"From now on, our business in the Imperial Censorate will depend on you."

"Oh, right! We will buy some servants later. We need both male and female servants. Please choose some reliable ones for them."

Having said this, Madam Rong stopped talking, as she thought of a question.

That nephew ran away on his own. Do we still need to buy him a beautiful maid? Did we save the money for the honey trap?

Rong Mama's heart, sitting in the sedan chair, rose and fell with the rhythm of the sedan.

……

"Cousin! Master! Don't run!" The anxious voice from the top of the mountain exploded in my ears like a thunder.

"Where?" Madam Rong lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see a figure rushing forward on the top of the hill.

"Chase!" She made a prompt decision and ordered the two sedan bearers.

"I'll give you some extra silver if I catch up with you." Then he glanced at Li Yapo's sedan chair and thought,

Sorry! I have something to correct!

Li Yapo was puzzled.

What about me? I was also entrusted by others.

In order to make this happen, I will chase after her too!

The two sedan bearers looked at the order and thought, what a mean order you gave!

Those carrying the sedan chair chased the one running on the ground.

But there is no way, the boss is the one who pays the money.

Then try your best to catch up! If you catch up, it is God's will, if you fail to catch up, it is normal.

The two sedan bearers chased after them, shouting.

If he didn't shout, he was afraid that the two of them would be out of step, the sedan chair would overturn, and the customer would fall, and then he would be asked to pay compensation.

I earned two and lost three, I’m done for today!

……

The two sedan bearers kept thinking, this is the only alley, if they turn around, they will definitely not see anyone.

That was the end of the matter, but when I turned the alley, I saw the figure on the top of the mountain again.

The two sedan bearers continued cursing in their hearts!

They didn't see that behind them, another sedan was cursing at them.

You fool! Why are you so honest? Just do it for your own good!

I'm so tired that I'm vomiting blood. No amount of money can make up for it.

After going around in circles, the figure on the top of the mountain appeared and disappeared mysteriously.

The two sedan bearers were so anxious that they almost vomited blood, and they could even smell the blood in their throats.

The person in the sedan chair was about to vomit.

Madam Rong felt dizzy and nauseous, and was staggering.

I wanted to stop but couldn't because I was afraid I would vomit.

……

"Mammy! We can't go on!" After chasing them to a street, the sedan bearer put down the sedan and was about to collapse to the ground.

Grandma Rong...

You are finally running out of time!

If you don't stop, I'm going to die.

……

Aunt Rong's face looked so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

I took several deep breaths while sitting in the sedan chair before I could suppress the tightness in my chest.

"Then let's lower the pole. I'll go down and take a look."

Just now I was only paying attention to the back figure on the hill and didn't look closely. Now Madam Rong got out of the sedan chair and looked outside.

Wow! What a busy street.

It was already evening, and the place was bustling with people coming in and out of the shops.

There were even ladies and maids wearing veils, going in and out of jewelry shops and clothing stores.

At first glance, it seems that business is booming.

The shopkeeper was smiling and the customers were satisfied.

Madam Rong glanced around and saw a young man standing on the top of the hill, talking to him.

The young man still had that annoying face, but there was nothing he could do about it, because this annoying face now concerned Jia Min's face.

It's worth it for me to give him face.

Rong Mama got out of the sedan chair and walked in that direction. Her feet hurt when they touched the ground, so she walked very slowly.

Today's amount of exercise is equivalent to seven or eight days' normal amount.

I walked closer and looked up at the plaque.

Hey! Why is it a pawn shop?

Moreover, the cousin had just escaped from the entanglement on the hill and was about to go inside.

"Wait!" Madam Rong walked over with a righteous look.

"You pawned something?"

This cousin always looks like he deserves a beating, in Rong Mama's opinion.

"Whether I am a good person or not is none of your business, right? Am I the one who was kicked out?"

Rong Mama's heart skipped a beat. "Who kicked him out? Could it be that the master disliked the fact that the Madam's relatives were living in her house and eating free meals?"

But I can't say this, family disgrace should not be made public.

"No matter who chased you away, Master, the Madam is the one who makes the decisions about household affairs. Madam asked me to take you back."

"Let's go home and talk if there's anything."

Rong Mama felt that she had let it go, and tried her best to persuade him patiently.

Anyway, it would be impossible for this young master not to go back with her today.

Jia Min's face is above everything else.

The Prince of Nan'an's expression changed again and again, and he looked at the crowd gathering around him.

Her brows were furrowed, "Madame Rong, you should know what kind of life I lead."

"What kind of life do you think I can live when I go back?"

The people around saw that there was a commotion here, and it was the inner residence of an official's family that was bustling.

The excitement has even spread to the streets, it's obvious that it can't be covered up anymore.

There are those who like to do good things and spread the news everywhere.

"Whose house is this?"

"You don't know yet! The new salt inspector, Censor Lin's family."

"From the tone of voice, it seems that the Madam is jealous, the Master is henpecked, and the eldest son is rebellious."

"Kicking the child out, no matter who kicked him out, doesn't it mean the same thing?"

"No matter if he is the head of the household or the head of the family, a child in his teens is forced to rely on pawning to survive."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! What a murky pool of water! Worse than ordinary people!"

When Rong Mama saw that the people around her were starting to talk nonsense, the more she looked, the darker it seemed.

She looked around and said, "Master! Please go back! Just treat me as your old slave and beg you."

"Don't be stubborn. They are your family. There is nothing you can't talk about."

"Do you really have to make me kneel down for you?"

"If you hold a grudge against someone who drove you away, I'll kneel down for him, okay?"

Now, Madam Rong no longer needs to kneel down even to the mistress and the head of the family, and she is a person of honor.

I will kneel down for you in front of the people of Yangzhou, and see if you can bear it?

Rong Mama's eyes, heavy as a mountain, pressed down on the Prince of Nan'an.

Slowly supporting his stiff legs, he knelt on the ground.

The prince glared at Shantou and said, "Hold your nanny, otherwise..."

Before the young master could finish his words, Shantou raised his hands and held Madam Rong.

"You can't kneel. If you kneel like this, the madam will break my legs." Shantou persuaded.

"You are highly respected. Who can bear your kneeling?"

"Aren't you embarrassing the lady?"

"Let me talk to my cousin again."

When Aunt Rong heard this, her heart trembled. Indeed, if I really knelt down.

Wouldn't that mean Madam had given in? It would be a disgrace to Madam.

She glanced at the top of the hill with satisfaction, "Good boy! You are right to remind him. Talk to him properly. Madam will remember your merit later."

"No problem, Mammy! Just leave it to Shantou! When have I ever messed up anything for you?"

Shantou walked up to the prince and whispered, "Master! It's almost done! It will be fine if we do it again."

"Indeed, the lady told me to come to you."

Upon hearing this, a light flashed in the cousin's eyes, and then there was an endless abyss.

He nodded, and then said to Rong Madam,

"Mammy! I have two conditions."

"First, I live alone in a courtyard, and my freedom is not restricted by the mistress."

"Second, you are not allowed to stuff anyone into my courtyard without permission."

"If you agree to these two conditions, I will go back with Madam immediately."

The people around him began to applaud. This illegitimate eldest son is really well-informed!

He is already ten years old, out of control, and cannot be stuffed in. This blocks the mistress's path to spoiling him.

When Rong Mama heard these two things, she felt bitter. How could she complete the task if she couldn't get people in?

But now is not the time to talk about that.

Let’s coax the person back first and talk about the rest later.

"Okay! Madam promises you." Madam Rong squeezed out two tears at the right time.

"You are such a worrying child!"

"What did you pawn? Mammy redeemed it for you? Give me the pawn ticket."
