The Red Mansions

Chapter 224 Lin Daiyu: Give birth to many babies
"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Bye husband and wife!"

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

"..."

In the quiet lobby, it suddenly became lively.

Seeing that the bride's figure is graceful and well-proportioned, many people silently swallowed their saliva and lifted up their trousers.

"Blessed is Brother Rong! Tsk tsk..."

"Tsk, what? That's your sister-in-law!"

"Uh, sister-in-law..."

"..."

Jia Yun really wanted to beat up Jia Qiang and Jia Cong who were standing behind them, they were not in the right shape at all.

Speaking of which, being able to have a seat in the lobby can be regarded as having some status in Jia's family.

This time Jia Yun has a seat, and the seat is a little bit forward.

Jia Yun looked around and saw that Jia Cao was the only one who had a seat, and everyone else was older than him.

After Jia Rong and Xia Jingui entered the bridal chamber, everyone in the lobby got up one after another, ready to take their seats.

At this time, Jia Dairu, who was sitting beside him, stepped forward tremblingly, stared at Jia Yun for a few times with cloudy eyes, and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yun, you are doing well now!"

"Senior praises me, this junior is far from promising!" Jia Yun said kindly.

This Jia Dairu is the head of the private school in Jia's mansion, and he has a grandson named Jia Rui.

Jia Rui is in his 20s and still a bachelor.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's beauty once, he paid attention and was killed by Wang Xifeng's plan.

This matter was relatively secretive, and it involved Wang Xifeng's reputation, and was sealed by the Jia family.

So even if Jia's house leaked into a sieve, there were very few rumors about it.

Of course, the most important thing is that although Wang Xifeng doesn't care about things now, she is not easy to mess with.

Even if someone knew about it, they didn't dare to reveal a few words at will, so as not to get burned.

Therefore, it is good for this person to be stronger and domineering sometimes.

"It would be great if you were my grandson!" Jia Dairu said suddenly, rubbing his tears.

Jia Yun glanced at him speechlessly, smiled, and didn't reply.

Jia Dailing who was on the side stepped forward and said unceremoniously: "Old Confucian, the pond at your house is shallow, so I'm afraid you won't be able to raise real dragons!"

No one in the clan knew what kind of virtue Jia Dairu had.

Although he is in charge of the private school of Jia's family, he is incompetent.

After teaching in a daze for a lifetime, not only did he fail to teach talents, but instead made the private school management a mess.

Although his grandson Jia Rui was also responsible for the mischief, but he, the talker, took most of the responsibility.

"Heh...heh...I made a mistake..." Jia Dairu laughed dryly, his face trembled, and he left on crutches.

Jia Yun and Jia Dailing looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads at the same time.

"This old man wants to ask you to do something, but he puts on airs too much, thinking that you are a scholar, brother Yun, so you can be bullied by a gentleman. You are really a shameless old bastard!"

Jia Dailing has a lot of seniority, so he can say what he wants to say if he has any nasty words, and he is not afraid of being heard by others.

The reason why Jia Yun didn't reply to Jia Dairu's words just now was because he wanted to go to Sanfang's righteous school to teach.

Although the words were not spoken, but Jia Dairu and Jia Yun had no reason, and they were not even a nod acquaintance.

Suddenly came to deliver the message when there were many people, and pretended to be pitiful, just trying to overwhelm Jia Yun with his seniority and reputation.

If Jia Dairu really wanted to find a job to enjoy his old age, Jia Yun really wanted to give him face based on his seniority.

But he shouldn't, never should, show off his qualifications, but let Jia Dailing expose his face, which didn't give him a good face.

Nowadays, Jia Yun's reputation among the people and the officialdom is getting bigger and bigger.

In addition, setting up free schools in the clan and helping the clan to arrange errands, gradually gained the respect of the clan.

Even the social status of Jia Dailing, the patriarch, has also risen.

Among the patriarchs of the Jia family in Beijing Bafang, only Jia Zhen can ask Jia Dailing to show some face.

If it was because Jia Dairu couldn't see the situation clearly, it was not good to show off in front of anyone, but he wanted to be in front of Jia Yun, which made Jia Dailing unable to bear it.

Most of the people present in the hall are members of Jia's family who are highly respected in the eighth room in Beijing, and most of the children in later generations are also favored by Jia Yun.

So when Jia Dailing suppressed Jia Dairu, not only did no one come forward to speak, but felt that Jia Dailing should do so, they all stepped forward to echo what Jia Dailing said.

Only Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen were silent.

Sanfang's free school is well run, with both civil and military practitioners, strong teachers, and even lunch at noon. It's a thriving scene. It's not like the three of them haven't seen it before.

When Sanfang Free School opened, Jia Zheng also mentioned to Jia Yun that he wanted to merge Dafang's private school, but Jia Yun refused.

In fact, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen were all very anxious about this matter.

Because the most terrible thing about Jia's mansion now is not that the treasury is empty, nor is it that there is no real power, but that there are no successors.

If it continues like this, it will only be overtaken by other houses.

So just now when Jia Dairu went up to talk to Jia Yun, it was also a test.

As long as Jia Yun agrees to Jia Dairu's going to Sanfang Free School, Dafang's private school can go along with the trend.

But obviously, their abacus was accurate, and the people in other rooms were not fools, and they could see something strange at a glance.

Although this is only a small matter, it can be seen.

The prestige of the Jia family in the eighth room in Beijing gradually began to shift from the first room to the third room.

As time goes on, this phenomenon will become more and more obvious...

……

After eating at noon, Jia Yun did not stay in Ningguo Mansion any longer. After greeting Jia Dailing and others, she got up and went home.

When Xue Baochai and others got the letter, they also bid farewell to Jia Mu one after another. A group of people sat in sedan chairs and followed Jia Yun home.

"Are you still coming at night?" Xue Baochai lifted a corner of the sedan chair curtain and looked at Jia Yun who was riding a horse outside.

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "I won't come here at night. There's a bridal chamber or something. Although it's lively, it's inconvenient for me to participate."

Xue Baochai nodded silently, and said with a smile: "We have guests coming to our house this afternoon."

"Oh? What guest?" Jia Yun asked in surprise.

Xue Baochai snapped his fingers and said with a slight smile: "There are Mrs. Xing's niece Xing Xiuyan, Shi Xiangyun from the historian family, Grandma Zhu's two cousins ​​named Li Wen and Li Qi, and Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Baobao. Qin..."

"Aren't they there to accompany Mrs. Jia?" Jia Yun asked strangely.

Xue Baochai shook her head and said, "There are too many outsiders here today, it's not easy for them juniors to come and join in the fun."

After a pause, she blinked her eyes and said again: "By the way, Cousin Feng and Grandma Zhu are coming too."

"Okay, they all came to our house." Jia Yun laughed.

After thinking for a while, Jia Yun suggested: "Not long ago, our village in the south sent fruit. Take out some of each to entertain the guests. Put it in the ice cellar. It will go bad after a long time."

"I have to take everything? Is it too much?" Xue Baochai asked in surprise.

It's not that she is reluctant, but that there are too many samples of fruit.

Peach, lychee, banana, cherry, longan, mango, durian, bayberry, dragon fruit, apple, plum, pear, pomegranate, grape, jujube, rambutan, pineapple, etc. are all available.

Many of these fruits are purchased overseas.

Of course, after Jia Yun took over, he replaced all the fruits with those produced in the space.

By the way, some fruits that are not easy to transport and store are mixed, such as lychee, longan and other fruits.

Jia Yun said with a smile: "Take out more of those that are not easy to preserve, and take less of those that are easy to preserve. With so many guests coming today, it must not be too shabby."

Xue Baochai rolled her eyes and said, "It's not my slave who said that with a fruit like lychee, no one dares to say it's shabby, not to mention there are so many other kinds."

"Hehe, when I say shabby, I'm just talking about it, and it's not really shabby." Jia Yun said with a smile.

Xue Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, put down the curtain, and stopped playing tricks with Jia Yun.

When she got home, when she entered the door, Jia Yun saw Second Sister You and Third Sister You walking, their faces were hot and red, with beads of sweat dripping down their faces.

He got off his horse, grabbed the two of them, and asked, "Why don't you play in Ningguo Mansion for a while before you come back?"

"No, now our sisters belong to the master, what's the matter staying there?" Third Sister You shook her head.

Second Sister You answered, "It's fine if there are slaves and maidservants staying there."

Jia Yun stretched out her hands, patted the shoulders of the two, and said, "I have wronged you a little. I promised your sister that I would pick you up to be aunts, but something was wrong."

"During this time, if you follow Miss Lin, just be patient, read more and read, and you will enjoy your own blessings."

Second Sister You's eyes were red, her nose was sore, she hummed, and said, "As long as the master doesn't forget the slaves and maidservants."

Jia Yun sighed, took the hands of the two sisters, and walked into the house.

The two daughters are rare beauties, one is gentle and kind, the other is hearty and generous, each with its own merits.

It would be a lie to say that Jia Yun didn't like it.

But there are enough aunts in the family with Xi Ren, Mei Ren, Qin Keqing and others, and other women want to become aunts, but they have to wait for their time.

After returning to the room and changing into loose clothes, Jia Yun came to Lin Daiyu's courtyard.

"There are outsiders coming here today, are you not afraid that they will know that you often stay at my house?" Jia Yun asked with a smile.

Lin Daiyu took off her coat, took the thin shirt from Zijuan, and said disapprovingly:
"Then don't let them know that I'm staying at your house. I came here first and only said that I wanted to talk to Sister Bao for a while, so I came first."

Jia Yun stepped forward, held down Lin Daiyu's hand that was about to close her clothes, passed her hands through, put her arms around her slender waist, and whispered:

"I got the letter. Mr. Lin will be able to return to Beijing early next year, and then I can welcome you through the door."

Lin Ruhai is the emperor's true confidant.

Sending him to work in Hubei is only a transition, and it is also to avoid the limelight. The emperor will not let him idle.

According to Jia Yun's guess, after Lin Ruhai returns to Beijing next year, there is a high possibility that he will work in the household department.

Maybe he will also participate in the collection of money owed by the Ministry of Households.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her eyes lit up, she tilted her head, leaned gently on Jia Yun's arms, pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"I really want to marry you earlier and give birth to many babies..."
