Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"I was wondering why the young master went through so many difficulties to return to the Lin Mansion. It turns out that there is a soulmate here who understands the young master!" Wei Wu rubbed his hands and felt very proud.

The Lin family chose a sunny day and moved to their new home.

"Yong'an! My new home is going to be called Youmingju! What do you think?"

Lin Daiyu stood at the door of her new home, looking at the lintel, imagining the scene of birds singing and flowers blooming.

"Yong'an, what are you going to name your new home? Mother has allowed us to come up with a name ourselves." Lin Daiyu asked Lin Yong'an, holding an empty parrot stand.

Yongan scratched his head, "Feng Zheng Ju, Ju Feng Zheng, which one is better? Sister?"

"None of them is good? Think again?" Lin Daiyu curled her lips. What imagination?

Looking at Yongan thinking hard and scratching his head.

Isn’t this a bit too much for a three-year-old?

"Forget it! If you can't think of it, let your parents carry it for you!" Lin Daiyu shook her hands, her hands felt a little sore from carrying things all the time.

The other hand pulled Yongan, "Let's go!"

"Go see what mom is busy with? And ask her to help you think of a name."

Flowers are blooming one after another in front of the courtyard, and the warm breeze blows along the steps, sweeping over the layers of floral fragrance.

At this time, Jia Min, Rong Ma and Banxia were discussing something.

"Mammy, Banxia, ​​hurry up and buy some maids. Servants, Mammy, you must at least have two maids to serve you."

"Don't refuse. I know you don't want to hear this every time I tell you. Just think of it as my filial piety."

"In addition, Dongyuan,"

It is the big garden of the new house, where my cousin and his people are staying now.

East Garden is also called Peony Garden.

"The East Garden must also be equipped for him." Having said this, Jia Min paused and her thoughts drifted back to last night.

Just after moving into the new house yesterday, she asked Lin Ruhai, "Do we still need to keep that cousin?"

Lin Ruhai looked into her eyes meaningfully, "Don't make it hard on yourself, do your best!"

And sighed deeply for a long time.

With a sigh, Jia Min's heart ached.

Jia Min felt that her husband's disappointment in her could no longer be concealed.

I'm afraid my self-esteem will be hurt, so I try my best.

"Banxia, ​​Mammy, please ask that old lady Li Ya and the old lady Wang Ya to come over."

"Let them bring people here tomorrow, and the standards will be based on what we set before."

Madam Rong has recovered now, and she thinks of her embarrassment at the door of the pawnshop.

His face turned a little red again.

"Madam! Don't worry, Madam is well now and can help you with your worries."

"Don't get involved in this kind of thing. Let Mammy do it."

"Since Madam wants to give me two right-hand men, I will choose one myself. They must be capable."

"Dongyuan must be charming and graceful. If she is not charming and graceful, then the nanny is not qualified."

Rong Mama's guarantee was answered with a loud "ba! ba!"

Banxia is a gourd with a sawed mouth. She usually doesn't talk unless it's her business. But she had to interrupt at this time.

"Madam! I didn't do what you told me to do last time! The steward went to more than ten jewelry stores, but no one was available to deliver the samples."

"The pattern changes every day. It may be there today but gone tomorrow."

"It's not easy for the manager to make the decision directly."

"He suggested that Madam could personally bring people to the store to choose. What do you think?"

Jia Min just picked up the tea and was about to moisten her mouth. "Why, is it really so in short supply?"

"Is it okay for the lady of Yangzhou to show up in public?"

Banxia pondered for a moment, "I heard from others that Yangzhou doesn't seem to be as strict as the capital. There are many merchants, and many women go out to do business."

"But officials and officials are a minority after all."

Jia Min thought about it for a while and decided that it would be fine to use the old model for normal use.

But this governor's happy event...

The Lin family was burdened by rumors and reputation, and just when they needed to make a name for themselves, it would not be a good idea to use old things.

Both matters are important.

Jia Min slowly stirred the tea leaves and finally made up her mind.

Everything is for the children.

"Well! Banxia, ​​Suzi, and Suye, come with me to the jewelry store tomorrow."

When Rong Mama heard that Jia Min had gone out without any arrangements for her, she became anxious.

"Madam! How can you go out without a nanny? Although I am old, my legs, feet, mouth and tongue are all good."

Jia Min was afraid that the nanny would be worried, so she immediately tried to comfort her by saying,

"Mammy, you have more important things to do. Tomorrow, we will entertain Li Yapo and Wang Yapo and select the people. Mammy, I don't worry about anyone else, but you."

When Rong Mama heard this, she thought, "That's right! Only I can do this. No one else can do it well."

It’s not that my lady dislikes me.

Aunt Rong was full of fighting spirit again.

Who knew that they were discussing something here, and the two little guys with super ears outside could hear it all.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Mom is going shopping tomorrow.

The two of them immediately jumped out from behind the door.

Lin Daiyu: "Mother! I will go there tomorrow too."

Lin Yongan: "Mom! I'll go tomorrow too."

Jia Min's face darkened. "That won't do. You guys stay at home. There are kidnappers out there. Besides, it's not appropriate for a young lady from a wealthy family to show her face in public."

"Mom! I'm only four or less than five years old. Am I considered a lady?"

"Will I never be able to leave the house again?"

"Mom! I can wear Yongan's clothes, and I promise no one can tell." After saying that, Lin Daiyu turned her head, put down the parrot stand, and was about to take off Yongan's clothes.

Yongan held the clothes tightly and said, "Let Shantou get them. I still have some."

"How dignified!"

Jia Min had to be strict with her children, because the only people in the family who were not talked about were the two children.

"Mom! I want to go."

"I'm a girl, and I can tolerate not going out when I'm older, but I haven't been to Yangzhou yet!"

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Min with eyes as clear as lake water, softening her heart little by little.

Yes! The girl is just a guest at home for the past few years.

Jia Min surrendered. She had no resistance to her child's request.

Lin Yongan added at the right time, "And me, and me, me too, me too..."

He was so anxious that he could not speak clearly. He just kept pulling Jia Min's hand and shaking it.

Alas! I, Jia Min, was ultimately defeated by the child.

"Okay! You two should pack up early tomorrow. Daiyu, you wear a set of Yong'an clothes. If they are too small, ask Mother Wang to lower them a bit for you."

"Yes! Thank you, mom. You are the best mom!" The brother and sister were overjoyed.

Celebrate with your hands raised.

Yes! I haven't been to ancient Yangzhou yet? On a moonlit night under the Twenty-Four Bridges, where does the beautiful lady teach me how to play the flute?

What a beautiful scenery it is?

The next day, Yangzhou Commercial Street.

"Madam! The finest pearls, embellished with shoes, hats, and hairpins..."

"Madam, here are the newly picked Yizheng Green Yangchun grapes. Please take a look at their color and smell their flavor..."

……

You won’t know how crowded Yangzhou is until you go out.

Some people selling local specialties carry their products on their shoulders and sell them everywhere, and all the shops are crowded.

Clothing stores, jewelry stores, and even restaurants are crowded with people. The waiting time is longer than the time spent in the store.

Afraid that the child would be lost in the crowd when entering the shop, he carried Yongan on his back to the top of the mountain.

The yellow warbler and the yellow oriole, the two of them were pulling Daiyu.

Today, Daiyu had her hair tied into a small bun and wrapped it with cloth. She put on a Yong'an gown and changed into a pair of blue cloth shoes.

But he is also a handsome boy.

"Mom! Candied haws!"

"Mom! Little clay figurine!"

……

With Lin Yongan's gossip around, Jia Min's ears can never be quiet for a moment.

Lin Daiyu looked around with her eyes rolling. Oh my! Not only are there many people, but it's also very lively!

What is that? A fight? An acquaintance?
