Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 56 The Daughter of the Scholar in the Red Mansion 13

Jia Min said she would let Yuan Wei be the housekeeper, and she really let her take charge.

Yuan Wei was a little flustered at first, but she quickly figured it out.

It was also because the Lin family had just released a group of servants and sent most of Jia Min's dowry back to the Jia family.

Now that the troublemakers are gone, the rest are scared and dare not step forward. This makes this family easier to manage.

"Don't blame me for praising her outside. She is indeed smart and capable." Before going to bed at night, Jia Min said to Lin Ruhai with a smile, "It's just that she is not very good at sewing."

"She just needs to learn needlework. She doesn't need to be an expert at it." Lin Ruhai also admired Yuan Wei, but because she was old, he couldn't get as close to her as he did to Jia Min.

"Oh, you're protecting her already? I wonder if our sister Wei knows that her uncle protects her so much?" Jia Min joked.

"You are just mischievous." Lin Ruhai pinched Jia Min's nose and said with a smile.

Because of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's favoritism, Yuan Wei lived a prosperous life in the Lin family.

On this day, Jia Min received a letter from Lady Jia of Rongguo Mansion. There was a moment of sarcasm on her face, and then it disappeared.

Nanny Lai thought she had seen it wrong, and lowered her head cautiously when Jia Min looked over.

"Madam, please take a rest and come back tomorrow. I think there are a lot of things to do in the mansion, so I won't keep you any longer."

"Yes."

Seeing Jia Min's unhappy expression, Nanny Lai didn't dare to say much and could only agree.

It seems that the aunt has really become estranged from the mansion, otherwise she would not have asked the old lady no questions and asked her to go back tomorrow.

In the past, we always stayed for ten days or half a month.

Nanny Lai didn't know what was going on. She only knew that since last year, the holiday gifts sent by the Lin family had been reduced by half.

As for the reason, the master of the mansion kept silent, and even she didn't know why.

After Nanny Lai left, Yuan Wei came over. Seeing that Jia Min was unhappy about Rongguo Mansion again, Yuan Wei was helpless, "Aunt?"

"You're here." Jia Min came back to her senses and smiled when she saw Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei looked at the letter in her hand without saying a word.

Jia Min explained, "My good second sister-in-law gave birth to another son, and he was born with a jade in his mouth. She wrote to tell me!"

Born with jade in his mouth? Isn't that Jia Baoyu?

Jia Baoyu was born, so is Lin Daiyu far behind?

Yuan Wei looked at Jia Min's belly. Is Lin Daiyu here?

Jia Min followed Yuan Wei's gaze to her belly and couldn't help but touch it with her hand.

I didn't know what expression to use.

"It's been a long time since Auntie checked Ping's pulse, right?"

"What do you mean?" Jia Min looked at Yuan Wei in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I just feel like you've been getting too tired these past couple of days. I'd better ask the doctor to take a look."

Although Yuan Wei felt that it was almost certain, she still wanted to ask the doctor for confirmation.

In the past two years, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai have insisted on exercising and no longer take any weird medicines. Their health is much better than before, so it is normal for them to get pregnant now.

After the doctor came and confirmed that Jia Min was indeed pregnant, everyone in the Lin family was in an uproar.

They were so happy that they rushed to tell the story, and were even happier than the host.

Yuan Wei didn't care about them. There hadn't been any happy events in the Lin family for a long time, so it would be good to let them be happy.

Jia Min had been in a daze since she found out she was pregnant. She only burst into tears when the maids and nannies came up to congratulate her.

"Madam, you are pregnant now, it's different from before." Madam Zhao stepped forward and advised.

"Yes, aunt, this is a happy thing." Yuan Wei also advised.

"Aunt is just happy." Jia Min said with a smile while hugging Yuan Wei.

In her heart, she was once again thankful that she had brought Yuan Wei to Yangzhou. Otherwise, she wouldn't be where she is today. She felt even more grateful to Yuan Wei.

Thinking of this, Jia Min paid more attention to Yuan Wei's coming of age in a few months.

It seems that the banquet should be more grand.

Nanny Lai had just rested in the room for a while when she heard the Lin Mansion becoming bustling with activity.

She hurried out to inquire and found out that her aunt was pregnant.

Now she also became happy, thinking that she could report back well.

After so many years, the aunt is finally pregnant. The old lady must be very happy.

When Lin Ruhai came back from outside in the evening, he found the house full of joy. When he asked what was going on, everyone smiled at him and told him to ask his wife.

Lin Ruhai was confused, but knowing it was a good thing, he was not in a hurry and walked slowly back to the backyard.

When Jia Min saw him, she smiled brightly, with an astonishing glint in her eyes.

Lin Ruhai was shocked. It had been many years since Min'er smiled like this.

"What happened?"

Jia Min grabbed his hand and placed it on her belly, "You're going to be a father."

Lin Ruhai froze and dared not move for a moment.

Jia Min burst out laughing, "You are even dumber than me."

"Confirmed? How old is he? Have you seen a doctor? What did the doctor say?"

"Confirmed. It's been more than a month. I saw a doctor. The doctor said that I am in good health and the child is fine." Jia Min pulled him to sit down and patiently answered his questions one by one.

Jia Min knew how he felt at the moment, so she had infinite patience to tolerate his excitement.

Lin Ruhai hugged Jia Min, so excited that he didn't know what to say, and could only hug her tightly.

Jia Min snuggled gently in his arms, and the two of them quietly enjoyed the joy.

Because Jia Min was pregnant, she completely let Yuan Wei take over the housekeeping duties.

Jia Min was personally in charge of Yuan Wei's coming-of-age ceremony, while all other matters in the inner house were handled by Yuan Wei.

Fortunately, Yuan Wei had been in charge of things before, and with the help of the nanny and maids around Jia Min, Yuan Wei managed things very well and did not make any mistakes.

Yuan Wei's coming-of-age ceremony was extremely lively, and all the wives of officials in Yangzhou, including Jia Min, were invited.

Although it was not explicitly stated that Yuan Wei would be adopted, the servants of the Lin family already called her "Big Miss".

Her coming-of-age ceremony was comparable to that of a legitimate daughter, and the ladies who came to visit her tacitly accepted that she was the daughter of the Lin family, and a favored daughter at that.

Everyone held Yuan Wei's hand and praised her, and once again felt sorry for her getting engaged so early.

This made Su Yuebai feel a sense of crisis. He came to Yangzhou specifically to attend Yuan Wei's coming-of-age ceremony.

Unlike the previous times when he was praised and treated with courtesy, this time Su Yuebai clearly felt the scrutiny and secret provocations from these adults.

Even Lin Ruhai began to become picky.

Su Yuebai understood why this happened after a moment's thought. He tensed up even more and faced this test calmly.

His calmness, erudition and versatility once again won him praise.

The people present once again looked at him with admiration, while at the same time casting jealous glances at Lin Ruhai.

Before Su Yuebai left, he specifically begged Lin Ruhai to let him see Yuan Wei again. Unlike before, it was really not easy for them to meet now.

But they are engaged, so it is feasible for them to meet with someone accompanying them.

It depends on whether the elders allow it.

Yuan Wei walked over gracefully from a distance, and Su Yuebai was stunned by her gaze.

Yuan Wei walked closer and saw his red ears, and smiled slightly.

Still that stupid goose!

Su Yuebai didn't say anything during this meeting, he just said to Yuan Wei: Girl, wait for me.

Yuan Wei knew that he would take part in the Autumn Examination next month, so he asked her to wait for his good news and come to marry her after he passed the exam.

Yuan Wei bowed to him and said, "I wish you all the best."

I'm almost saying I'm waiting for you to marry me.

These words made Su Yuebai smile.
