Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Madam! I asked someone to inquire about it. That Madam Ru is not an ordinary concubine." Banxia said with a somewhat sad tone.

"Her maiden name is Cheng. She is a wealthy man in Yangzhou and the head of the salt merchants."

"You are so rich, why do you let your daughter be a concubine?" Jia Min complained a little. Isn't this harming others?

Banxia did not answer this question, but continued,

"I heard from the old woman who passed on the message that the former wife of the governor's mansion was weak and sickly, and most of the housekeeping power fell into the hands of this lady Ru.

"Besides, the former wife had no children, and the two daughters of the governor's mansion were both born to this wife."

"What?" Jia Min was even more confused.

"Then why hasn't he made her his wife? Is this governor going to marry a new wife?"

Banxia didn't say anything. She was a little worried about her master. She had offended someone so badly, but she still wanted to attend the banquet.

Jia Min was full of thoughts. She pondered over Banxia's words while holding the jade hairpin in her hand.

"Mom! So many new clothes!" Lin Daiyu looked at the ten sets of summer clothes for this season, and her mother finally became generous.

Jia Min looked at the child helplessly. The child was still the best! She was happy anyway.

Instead, she offended the person and didn't even buy the jewelry.

Jewelry is easy to deal with, at worst you can just use old ones.

I also have some jade jewelry with good water content, which I bought as a set.

Except for the fact that the patterns and styles are not so novel, it can be regarded as a classic and valuable item.

The trip would arrive in three days. Jia Min was a little worried about how to go and how to become famous when she arrived.

Don't try to make a name for yourself but end up damaging your reputation.

"Madam! Are you still worried about the jewelry?" Aunt Rong seemed to be unable to bear to see Jia Min frowning.

"Mammy, I will only wear this set of Green Snow Fragrance jewelry." Jia Min took out a hairpin.

"Yes, yes, yes! This green snow is fragrant, there is emerald within emerald, emerald within emerald, the flowers are half-bloomed and the branches are filled with fragrance. This will never go out of style no matter how many years pass."

"Miss can wear it in the future." Rong Mama's wrinkles opened up due to her smile.

"Then what is there for Madam to worry about? Didn't you say that Dongyuan would not care about him for the time being and let him fend for himself?"

"This suddenly makes us feel relieved."

Jia Min looked at her child who was trying on clothes and said, "Mammy, last time we offended that Madam Ru in the governor's mansion."

"You say that if we go to her house for a banquet again this time, aren't we just walking into a tiger's mouth?"

Rong Mama thought for a moment, "Madam! I have an idea. Although Madam Ru is favored, the former Madam has passed away but she has not been made the first wife. I think her favor is limited."

"Besides, on a wedding day, the governor is both the groom and the head of the family."

"We can't allow any mistakes to happen, otherwise we won't know what will happen in the next two days."

"If you are really worried, Madam, just take the young lady to chat with other ladies and don't go to any crowded places. I think she won't be able to do anything tricky!"

"What Mammy said makes sense. Yongan, I plan to let Shantou and Shuiwei take him to the men's room. I'm afraid the women's room won't allow servants to follow."

"Let's make full preparations so that we don't have to worry about the possibility of mishaps."

This is an idea that Jia Min has been thinking about for a long time.

She offended the female guests, and thought the male guests would be more peaceful.

"That's also a solution, but who should take care of him? Let the master take care of him? The master is afraid he doesn't have time, so let Dongyuan take care of him?"

Madam Rong and Jia Min looked at each other. They were going to Dongyuan so soon?

In addition to seeking help from Dongyuan, there was another thing that Jia Min was a little worried about.

Her son's reputation for having a sharp tongue spread.

But she looked at her son who was still holding on to his new clothes, looking bubbling with joy.

How can this be convincing?

"Yong'an! Daiyu, come here." Jia Min called the two children over.

"Mom! What's the matter?" Daiyu and Yong'an came over.

"Yongan? If someone praised you for being smart and clever, how would you respond?"

Yongan,...

Need me to answer a question?

Yongan lowered his head and thought,

My mother often praises me for being smart and clever.

How did I answer?

Yong'an looked at Daiyu with an inquiring look.

Daiyu blinked and didn't give any hint.

"I say, good! good! good, sir, you have a very good eye."

Jia Min's face turned cloudy.

"Yongan! What if an adult criticizes you and says you are not smart?"

Yongan,...

"Mom! The questions are too difficult!"

Yongan came up and tried to pull Jiamin's hand. He wanted to act like a spoiled child and get close to her.

However, Jia Min withdrew her hand and continued to look at him expectantly.

Yongan felt wronged. How could there be such a disgusting adult?

"Mom, I'm telling you, you're wrong. I'm very smart."

It was like rain on Jia Min's face.

"Hahahahahahahaha..." Lin Daiyu laughed out loud like thunder.

"Don't be afraid! Yongan, I'll teach you two tricks, universal formulas."

Look carefully, as soon as Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she clasped her fists.

"When someone says you are smart and clever, you put your hands together and say, 'No, no, I am so ashamed!'"

“When someone says you are stupid, ignorant, and unintelligent, you should also put your hands together.”

At this point, Lin Daiyu paused for a moment and glanced at the astonished people in the room.

"I also clasped my hands together and said, "No, no, I'm not as good as you, not as good as you."

"I understand," Yongan felt that he had finally gotten the idea. He clapped his hands and jumped up.

"Mom, no matter what they say, I will just say it's all right."

Lin Daiyu felt the need to expand on this and asked another question:

"Yongan, if they didn't discuss you, the weather, or ask for your opinion, what would you say?"

Yongan hugged her with her little hands, "Where! Where!"

"Mom! What do you think of what I did?"

"How are you doing?"

"Ouch! I want to call you mom!"

"It's a pity that my mother is in the capital!"

The whole room was filled with laughter in response to all this.

Oh my God!

……

"Master, I want Yong'an to follow that cousin tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?" Jia Min asked Lin Ruhai the day before they set off.

She needed to understand Lin Ruhai's attitude towards that prince.

She thought about it and decided not to mention the matter of her cousin being a useless boy.

When the master asked her about it, she was just going to play dumb.

She covered her face tightly, this matter was really embarrassing for her.

She was afraid that she would be tortured to death and would not be able to hurt anyone else at all.

Lin Ruhai was taking the carefully prepared gift and putting it into the box.

After hearing Jia Min's question, he burst into laughter.

Time makes people forget things so easily. It hasn't been long, but I have forgotten the hatred and can entrust my child to my care.

What about the future? It’s time to plan for the future of our children.

just in case……

What guilt have his children committed?

"Yes! Madam, you have arranged it very well."

"Let him take care of the children. I will try my best to take care of them. If there is anything I cannot take care of, he can entrust it to me."

……

The Prince of Nan'an looked at the children brought over by Shantou and Shuiwei, and the fire of surprise in his eyes even drifted to his hands.

He pointed at the top of the mountain and the end of the water, "You two boys, tell me again?"

The mountaintop held back a smile, bowed and saluted,

"Master, Madam means the young master. You will take care of him for the next three days."

"The young master is old enough, you can take him to the men's table."
