The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 44 Returning to the Capital
But when Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother hurriedly asked about Lin Ruhai and Daiyu.Jia Lian said Lin Ruhai's words again, and Jia's mother thought for a long time before she said, "So I was thinking about it. That's fine, I'll pick up Yu'er in a few days." Mrs. Wang, who was sitting again, said unwillingly. "So it's time for Mrs. Lin and the eldest girl to come to visit the old lady? Why did we send someone to pick them up and still shirk? Mrs. Lin is only a third grade now..." Mother Jia glared at her and said, "Still?" Can't stop talking! What do you know?" From the fact that a third-rank official is nothing in the capital, even in the south of the Yangtze River, he is not a great executive.However, Xilinjueluo's family has been noble for generations, and Lin Ruhai is in charge of the Jiangnan salt tax, which is even more lucrative.Earlier I heard that the emperor's favor to Lin Ruhai and Daiyu during his southern tour was even more extraordinary. Now that Jia Min is gone, the Lin family has nothing to do with their Jia family except Daiyu. If Lin Ruhai marries a new wife again I don't know where the Jia family will be placed.However, none of the descendants of Jia's family was up to the challenge, except Jia She, who attacked a first-class Feng En general, and only Jia Zheng was working as a member of the Ministry of Industry, and he was still a sixth rank after decades.In this capital city, a single stone can hit several sixth-rank officials.If he doesn't know how to make progress, after another two generations, even that bit of hereditary title will come to an end.With the Jia family in such a situation, what can they do if they are tightly attached to the Lin family and hope that Lin Ruhai can help their own family?
"The eldest girl is still in the palace of His Royal Highness..." Mrs. Wang said, her daughter belongs to His Royal Highness, how could she lose to the Xilinjueluo family.

Jia Mu sneered and said, "Do you still know that your daughter is in the palace of His Highness the Crown Prince? Do you know the identity of the Crown Princess' natal family? What are the backgrounds of the concubines' families? How many years has the eldest girl been with the Crown Prince and she is still just a princess What is it for?" Isn't it because Jia's family is Baoyiqi?It's fine if it's just a coat, and there are not even two people in the family who can afford it. "Young master returns to Beijing this time to report on his work, and he is going to be promoted to stay in Beijing. What is the relationship between the Lin family and the present? If Mr. Lin is willing The more you support the Jia family, the more honor the crown prince can give to the elder girl." Mrs. Wang suddenly realized, and she stopped talking wearily.

Mrs. Wang is not ignorant of her daughter's suffering in the Yuqing Palace, the prince himself is not a kind person, and Yuanchun does not have a good family to make the prince look at him differently.Now she can only rely on the Lin family. Although Mrs. Wang is reluctant, she dare not say anything more.It was just another thing that came to my mind suddenly. That girl Lin is fourteen this year, but she is going to participate in the general election. If she is elected to Yuqing Palace, Lin Ruhai will not only support her own daughter, but it will be good if she doesn't make trouble.

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment, but still vaguely raised her concerns to Mother Jia.Mother Jia was silent for a while and said, "Grandpa Lin only has Yu'er as a daughter, so he probably doesn't want to let her into the palace." Mrs. Wang was not surprised by what Mother Jia said.That palace is the most wealthy place in the world, no one would be willing to send their daughter there.What's more, with the family background of the Lin family, if he enters Yuqing Palace, the crown prince will at least be the head of the first palace in the future. What if Lin girl overwhelms her own girl?Mother Jia glanced at her indifferently, knowing that her daughter-in-law had long hair and short-sightedness, "Don't think about the Lin family's affairs with your thoughts. It's not that there are no girls in the Lin family for generations, but they never sent the girl to you. Those who entered the palace. Not even those who married the prince." I vaguely heard that the old Duke once said when he was still alive that the royal family's favor for Xilinjueluo's family no longer required sending their daughters into the palace.If it wasn't for the favor of the royal family, how many parents really wanted to push their daughter into the fire pit?

"Bring Yu'er to our house in a few days to stay longer. Put away your petty virtues for me. If you let Yu'er get angry, take care of your master." Jia Mu swept the king. Madam took a serious look.When Mrs. Xing saw that Jia's mother spoke so directly, she couldn't help showing a bit of schadenfreude on her face, and smiled at Jia's mother: "Don't worry, the old lady, the eldest girl is also our niece, and she has never been treated badly." When I turned around, I asked Feng girl to take someone to clean up the eldest girl's residence." Jia Mu didn't like the mean and mean Mrs. Xing, but now she was very satisfied with her words and smiled: "You are a sensible person." Mrs. Xing Overjoyed, she glanced at Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang didn't speak, her eyes flickered secretly, she lowered her head and moved the rosary in her hand.Seeing her like this, Jia's mother didn't say anything more, but said: "Send someone to take Yun girl over for a few days."

Mrs. Wang and others were dismissed, and Jia's mother sat alone on the soft couch with her eyes closed.Today Lin Ruhai rejected the Jia family so directly, she was also very unhappy, but she couldn't show it, she could only bear it.The descendants of the Rongguo Mansion are unworthy, and seeing the huge Duke's Mansion gradually decline, she wondered how she could not be in a hurry.If the marriage of the two Yu'er can be completed, even if the son-in-law is looking at Yu'er's face, he must support Baoyu and the Jia family for Yu'er's future, and even if he can't give it to the entire Jia family, he must help Baoyu Carrying the flag.But Mother Jia also understands how difficult it is to make this marriage come true.Thinking of her granddaughter whom she hadn't seen in ten years, the beautiful face of her dead daughter suddenly flashed through her mind, and Mother Jia's eyelids trembled, and her hands on her lap tightened.She did this for the Jia family and the Rongguo Mansion, and she did nothing wrong.

Lin Ruhai took her daughter back to the Xilinjueluo family's mansion in the inner city. As expected, the whole mansion was well maintained as Qili said, and there was no sign that the owner hadn't been there for many years.Lin Ruhai lives in the hospital, and everything has been arranged in Mingwei Lanxiyuan's yard specially prepared for Daiyu.Two big maids, six second-class maids, twelve rough envoy girls, and eight rough envoy wives have long been waiting in the garden.There is also a small independent garden in Lanxi Garden, which is also lush and lush, and several kinds of flowers that bloom in May and June are in full bloom.Lin Ruhai personally sent Daiyu there, and was very satisfied after seeing Xiaoyuan.

"Slave Mo Lan, Mo Feng greets the master, and greets Ge Ge." Two girls who looked exactly the same came forward to say hello.Daiyu looked at the two curiously, but they were both tall, short, fat, and thin, and their clothes were exactly the same. For a while, she really couldn't tell who was who.Qi Li stepped forward and said: "I heard that there are two maids and four nuns beside the girl. Therefore, the old servant dared to add two more maids to serve the girl. These two girls are born in our family and have strict rules. It's excellent." Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Qi Li is thoughtful." In the past, Daiyu in the south of the Yangtze River did not like to follow a group of people behind her, and there were several nuns who were often in front of her. I haven't added enough, and now I'm in the capital, but I can't make people laugh anymore.Daiyu said with a smile: "Please trouble the manager, Mo Lan Mo Feng will follow me from now on, okay?"
