The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 4 Jia Zhu
Jia Zhu said with a smile: "Uncle has his own problems in his heart, so I don't need my nephew to worry about this matter."

Jia Min smiled and said: "You have been close to me since you were young, and it is because of your thoughts. I was not in the capital when you got married, and I never even gave you a gift. I'm sorry." Jia Zhu looked gentle and said, "She also often hears me mention my aunt and uncle, and she respects both of you very much, so I will let her see my aunt some other day."

The three chatted for a while before Jia Zhu got up to leave. Lin Ruhai and his wife sent the man back but found Daiyu lying on the couch and falling asleep holding the untied Jiulianhuan.The couple looked at each other and smiled, Jia Min ordered someone to go and put the little thin quilt on the little person, fearing that she would tuck it up carefully before turning to Lin Ruhai and saying: "Master enters the palace to see you, the emperor can say What? When are we going back to Jiangnan?"

Lin Ruhai laughed and said: "Madam doesn't like the capital either? I'm afraid it will take some time. The emperor didn't say anything, but our Yu'er fell in love with the emperor's fourth elder brother in the palace, and on the way back he made a fuss about bringing him back to us. Let’s live at home.” Jia Min was taken aback for a moment before laughing: “What are you talking about, why did you fall in love with Si elder brother, how can this be heard by outsiders?” Lin Ruhai pointed to the sleeping Zhengxiang Daiyu and said: "You should ask your precious daughter, if her brother and brother are so affectionate." Jia Min looked at him strangely and said, "Could it be that your daughter is affectionate to someone else, are you jealous, you are so weird?"

Lin Ruhai laughed twice and did not answer.

Jia Min sighed softly, returned to the couch and caressed her daughter's pretty face and said in a low voice: "Although Yu'er is still young, this mother is still worried about her future. I don't know if I... can see that time……"

Lin Ruhai trembled slightly, and reprimanded lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You will naturally see that at that time, we will all see Yu'er grow up and leave the cabinet. In the future, we will grow old together and see our little grandson." Jia Min smiled wryly , Stretched out his hand to hold Lin Ruhai's hand and said: "Master, you also know that my body is only supported by countless precious medicinal materials. If I put it in an ordinary house, I would have ruined it by myself. I just don't worry about Xiao Yuer... ..." Lin Ruhai hugged Jia Min into his arms, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will make proper arrangements for Yu'er's future, and I will definitely not let her suffer any grievances." As for his wife's condition Lin Ruhai knows better than anyone else that Jia Min's health is no better than that of the empress who passed away just now, especially after giving birth to Daiyu, if it wasn't for the proper care and peace of mind over the years, Jia Min's body might be even worse than that of Queen Tong Jia. earlier.Every year, these months are better, and most of the time in spring and winter is lingering and sick.

Jia Min nodded, she was very assured of her husband's ability and skill, not to mention their only precious daughter, there would be no mistakes.Leaning in Lin Ruhai's arms, the couple watched their daughter's sleeping beauty enjoying the quiet time.

Lin Ruhai and his wife didn't have time to meet the elders of the Jia family, because before noon, Emperor Kangxi, who was supposed to be in the palace to handle government affairs, arrived angrily.The so-called heaven and earth are not as big as the emperor's majesty, even if there is one, it has to be put aside, let alone returning to a mere natal family that is not considered close.

Although Kangxi came here in plain clothes, he did not come alone.Behind him was the fourth elder brother Yinzhen in plain clothes.Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't know Yinzhen, but Daiyu's eyes lit up when she saw the person following Kangxi, and she called out happily, "Brother." Yinzhen's expression was even worse than what she saw yesterday A bit worse, there was a faint chill and indifference between the brows.Hearing Daiyu's voice, he raised his head to look at her and nodded slightly.Seeing Yinzhen's indifference, Daiyu pursed her mouth a little aggrieved, and walked over to hold Yinzhen's clothes and call her brother.Although Yinzhen's expression was stiff, he did not reject her, and the eyes he looked at Daiyu softened a little.

Kangxi watched the interaction between the two, laughed and said: "I just said that these two children hit it off very well. Fourth child, I have something to discuss with Master Lin, you can take the little girl to play for a while."

Yinzhen looked at Huang Ama and nodded silently.When Daiyu heard that the emperor asked her brother to play with her, she laughed even more happily, and took Yinzhen's hand and ran to the backyard. Jia Min was so scared that she called out to be careful, afraid that she would throw her.

After dismissing the idlers and others, each of them sat down, Lin Ruhai looked at Kangxi's expression and said: "The emperor came to the humble house early in the morning, and he was angry, but who didn't know how serious he offended Longwei?"

Hearing this, Kangxi's face darkened, and with a wave of his sleeve, the teacup by the table fell to the ground.Lin Ruhai looked calm, and lowered his head to drink tea.Sitting beside him, Jia Min didn't seem to see the emperor's monstrous anger.Kangxi soon calmed down, and looked at Lin Ruhai from the corner of his eyes and said, "Aren't you always very smart? Do you know why I am angry?" Lin Ruhai said with a helpless smile: "I am not a god, I know everything everywhere? Just now I saw that the fourth elder brother looked very bad, but what happened?"

Kangxi sneered and said, "I don't know how to flatter you! I entrusted the fourth elder brother to her to be raised, but she actually... Could it be that the fourth elder brother is not the flesh that fell from her body?"

The two were silent, and they naturally understood who Kangxi was talking about.Lin Ruhai was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Concubine De would refuse to raise the fourth elder brother.Whether it is my own flesh and blood, or the adopted son of Empress Daxing, Concubine De should not refuse because of emotion and reason, "Ms. Concubine De... did you refuse in front of the fourth elder brother?" No wonder I saw the fourth elder brother just now. With an indifferent expression like a ten-year-old child, the feeling of being rejected by his biological mother is absolutely uncomfortable.Kangxi nodded and said: "In front of Zhen'er, she said, 'The concubine already has fourteenth elder brothers, so I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of fourth elder brothers'." Looking at Kangxi's gloomy expression, there is no doubt that he is afraid that he is just like Germany. The concubine has her heart.He snorted coldly and said, "If it wasn't for the sake of Sixth and Fourteenth Brothers..."

"The fourth elder brother, how does the emperor plan to arrange it?"

Kangxi sneered and said: "Since she doesn't want to recognize this son, then that's all. I have changed the Yuji Shangzhen'er to Tong Jia's name, and he will be Tong Jia's son from now on. As for now, let the emperor's mother take care of it. Concubine Xian is a smart person, so she naturally knows how to take care of him." Although the queen mother is not Kangxi's biological mother, Kangxi is extremely filial and respects the empress dowager very much, so others dare not look down upon her taking care of Yinzhen.It's just that Concubine De, no woman in the palace thinks there are too many sons, she is eager to push them away.Fortunately, the fourth elder brother really has nothing to do with her.I'm afraid that even if there are Fourteenth Elder Brother and two Princesses by his side, Kangxi will inevitably neglect her for a while.
