When she heard the news that the Holy Emperor had once again sealed the Lin Mansion, Mother Jia was shocked and inexplicable.
Somewhat happy, after all Lin Daiyu is her granddaughter, but more confused, why?
Why not give her precious grandson Jia Baoyu a title?
"Old lady, this Granny Li is Baoyu's wet nurse and an old person in my Jia family. So forget it, Mr. Chen, who is highly respected and has taught her a lesson, but why doesn't Daiyu, as a junior, stop her? Is that ridiculous?" Mrs. Wang complained.
Jia Mu nodded: "That's outrageous, but after all, Granny Li is not from the Lin family, so she has no rules to teach her master at will.
In this way, second daughter-in-law, wait for tomorrow morning, you will bring a heavy gift and Granny Li will come to apologize."
Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded, she is an elder, why?
But thinking about the Lin family's tens of thousands of taels of silver and the little girl's title, I could only endure it.
Is it ridiculous that people can still care about money?
"Yes, mother!"
"Then, old lady, do you want to send another woman to serve Miss Lin?" Wang Xifeng asked.
Mother Jia thought for a moment and waved her hand: "Forget it. Since you won't be allowed to take charge of me, just stop taking care of it. With Mr. Chen's backing, who can mess with me in the capital?"
"Dong dong dong~"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
"What's the matter?" Wang Xifeng asked impatiently.
The maid Ping'er rushed in, panting and shouting loudly: "There is a purpose, there is a purpose!"
"What?" Jia Mu quickly stood up, surprised and happy.
Could it be that the Holy One finally saw the merits of the Jia family’s phoenix eggs and came to reward them?
"Let's go and get the order quickly!"
The old lady, who usually moves tremblingly, walked faster than anyone else at this time.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng looked at each other and were a little excited.
The Jia family has not had the emperor's care for too long.
Soon, the entire Jia family had to move off the stage to watch the play. There was a pause in setting up the banquet, the incense table was set up, and they all knelt down at the middle gate to greet him.
After a while, General Manager Chen arrived on horseback, followed by many eunuchs in front, back and left, showing a strong faction.
Manager Chen did not accept the imperial edict and dismounted from his horse in front of the eaves. With a smile on his face, he walked to the hall, stood facing the south, and said loudly: "Special order: Immediately proclaim Jia Zheng's entry into the court and pay an audience at Linjing Hall."
After saying that, Manager Chen left on horseback without even taking a sip of tea.
Jia She and others didn't know what this meant, so they had to change their court clothes and enter the palace in a hurry.
Jia Mu and the rest of the family stayed at home in panic, not knowing what was going on. They even kept sending people flying to and from the palace gate to report news.
After two hours, I suddenly saw Lai Da and three or four other housekeepers panting and running into the Yimen to announce the good news.
"According to the master's order, please quickly ask the old lady to lead the ladies and others to the court to express gratitude."
Jia's mother was uneasy and stood in the corridor of the lobby. She even recalled everything she had done in the past few years. The wife, young lady and Aunt Xue were all together.
After hearing the news, Jia Mu called Lai Da into the house to ask for more clues.
Lai Dahui reported: "The young ones only waited outside the Linjing Gate, and could not know any information inside. Later, a young eunuch came out to congratulate us, saying that our eldest daughter Yuanchun was promoted to be the Minister of Fengzao Palace and was given the title of Concubine Xiande.
.
Later, the master came out and gave the same instructions to the younger ones. Now that the master has gone to the East Palace again, please quickly ask the old lady to lead the ladies to thank you."
After hearing this, Jia Mu and others felt at ease, and everyone else was instantly beaming with joy.
Then the old lady led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You and others to put on makeup and change clothes according to their respective ranks, and a total of four people entered the court in large sedans.
Ning Rong and Ning Rong were all excited and happy, with a look of pride on their faces. They were laughing and shouting with joy.
On the way into the palace, in the sedan chair, Wang Xifeng asked in a low voice: "Old lady, do you want to take Granny Li to the Lin Mansion to apologize tomorrow?"
Mother Jia rolled her eyes at her: "Recognize the current identity of our Jia family, the maternal clan of the noble lady, and the relatives of the emperor. From today on, we cannot and will not apologize to anyone!
Since Daiyu doesn’t know what’s good and what’s good, then you don’t need to worry about her from now on!”
Wang Xifeng was stunned, then hesitated for a moment and asked: "Well, old lady, the two manors that His Majesty gave to the Lin Mansion, as entrusted by my sister-in-law in the letter, are still in our hands. They said they would give us half of the proceeds and we must return them."
?"
Jia Mu hesitated and hesitated for a while before asking: "How much money do those two manors earn per year?"
"There are more than fifty acres of good fields, as well as orchards and mines, which add up to almost 5,000 taels a year!" Wang Xifeng said.
Mother Jia fell into deep thought: "Why can the Lin family's manor make so much money? Our banker still has to lose money?"
Wang Xifeng was dumbfounded. How could she know this? She was a woman and had never farmed before.
"Maybe. Maybe it's because the place is different, the water, soil, and fertile fields are different." Wang Xifeng stammered in explanation.
"Hey, Daiyu is a little girl, and she is also my direct granddaughter. How can she manage two manor by herself? We should continue to manage it!" Jia Mu said lightly.
"Yes!" Wang Xifeng replied happily.
All in all, except for Jia Baoyu, the young ladies and gentlemen in the mansion only have two or three hundred taels of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and more than two thousand taels of silver. Don't waste it.
…
In autumn, there is autumn rain and cold.
The drizzle is hazy and the clouds are rising;
Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing quickly walked to the lake, took some fish food and threw it into the lake.
The mountains in the distance are invisible, and the water nearby is rippled.
After feeding the fish for a while, Lin Daiyu simply took off her shoes and socks, exposing her green-white feet, stretched them into the water, and had fun.
Sitting on the edge of the stone steps, the girl folded her legs. Her legs were very long and thin. When they were folded together, her calves were seamlessly connected, showing a soft and fragile beauty.
Qin Keqing next to her looked extremely envious. She didn't know why. Although this little girl was so strong, she was so thin and weak.
Is this reasonable?
Before, she had thought about learning martial arts from this little girl to reduce the size of her chest and thighs, but she didn't know what happened. The more she practiced the strange physical skills, the more she felt wrong with her body.
To this day, she can't even look down at her toes, and even after taking a few steps, she feels like she's carrying a heavy load and is out of breath.
Every time when I take a bath with my sister-in-law and the little yellow cat, I always fail to play games.
Alas, what a failure in life!
"Meow~" "Plop~" The fish in the water were immediately frightened and ran away.
"Hehe~" Lin Daiyu seemed to know the result and continued to play in the water.
After a while, the girl lay down out of breath and said, "Sister Qin, why haven't Sister Tanchun and the others come to play with me recently?"
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "They have been busy coaxing Auntie Yuanchun recently."
"Huh? What's wrong with sister Yuanchun?" Lin Daiyu was surprised.
"The Holy Lord Rende has bestowed upon Sister Yuanchun the title of Imperial Concubine, and she will enter the palace in a few days. In the past few days, aunts and maids have come to the house to teach the rules, check the body, and supervise.
During this period, no one in the house was allowed to enter Aunt Yuanchun's house. At most, they could only stand outside the house and talk through a screen in their free time.
I heard that Sister Yuanchun has been crying all day long and is in a bad mood." Qin Keqing explained.
These are what she heard from the maid.
Although she is now the young mistress of the Ning Mansion, there is no man in the family, and even the old ladies in the manor have all kinds of gossip, saying that her father, Ke Fu Ke, is a black widow.
So almost no one came to play with her in the house.
Even if there are some important celebrations, the wives in Jia's family will at most send their maids to inform them. They will be indifferent whether they come or not. It is even better if they don't go, as they will not disturb the mood of the family reunion.
Only with the innocent Aunt Lin can she experience the happiness of her daughter's family and the happiness of life.
To be honest, those people who said she was a black widow really made her feel wronged.
She is not black!
"Ah?" Lin Daiyu was surprised: "Last time I visited my grandmother, I saw that everyone in the family was very happy. Why is sister Yuanchun unhappy?"
Qin Keqing sat next to the little girl, and Lin Daiyu quickly came up and rubbed her little head on her heart.
No wonder Lele likes to sleep here, it's so soft and smells like milk.
Qin Keqing patted the little girl's butt in her arms, waited for her to change into a more comfortable position, and said slowly: "Miss Lin, haven't you heard a sentence? Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. As long as you enter the palace
If you open the door, you will never be able to get out again.
Moreover, there are hundreds of women in the palace, but there is only one man, the Holy One, so they naturally have to compete for his favor.
If you can't give birth to a dragon son, and you will grow old in the future, you will become an old woman. If there is someone to take care of you outside the palace, but no one will take care of you, then you will be a lonely soul, and you can only survive by begging for mercy.
Moreover, if a woman in the palace has been alone for a long time, her thoughts will become vicious and cruel, and she will dare to use any means. We don’t know the specific details, but Aunt Yuanchun has been serving as the female historian in the palace, wouldn’t she know that?”
"Ah? Then Sister Yuanchun just doesn't go!" Lin Daiyu said naively.
"It's hard to violate the holy will!" Qin Keqing sighed.
Besides, looking at the expressions of the Jia family now, even if Miss Yuanchun disagrees, who would care? I am afraid that as long as they say no, the old lady and the ladies will die.
Born in the Jia family, food and clothing are better than ordinary people, so you have no choice but to do what you want.
"Then let's finish lunch and go see Sister Yuanchun in the afternoon." Lin Daiyu said anxiously.
During these days, she followed her mother's instructions and never went out. She only took a carriage to visit Jia's house. The three Yuanchun sisters were her few playmates.
"Meow~"
The little yellow cat on the other side of Qin Keqing's heart objected strongly.
After eating at noon, he needs to rest in the afternoon!
"Lele, be good, or I will beat you!" Xiao Daiyu clenched her fists and said.
Today her practice has reached a new level, her strength has greatly increased, she has the strength of ten thousand kilograms, and she feels like she can do it again.
The little yellow cat was stunned for a moment, then stepped on the young woman's heart and stared at the girl's fist. He tilted his head and stared.
"Meow~"
Come, come, come, hit me here, today I will see you try to hit me!
Xiao Daiyu was furious and raised her hand.
The little yellow cat raised its paw.
One person and one cat faced each other for the twelfth time in a day.
Qin Keqing chuckled. This was the first time she had seen such a kitten. The young body weighing one pound must have 90 pounds of bones!
"Lele, I'm angry!" Lin Daiyu felt like her chest was getting bigger.
This guy doesn't even give himself face in front of others!
"Meow!" Miao Le was furious and continued to hit his head.
Ouch, come on, this one is quite crazy! Come on, hit this one, come on, come on!
"Hey~" "Meow!" "Bang bang bang~"
After a while, Lin Daiyu burst into tears and gently lifted up her tattered clothes.
The girl made up her mind that when her strength reaches 20,000 pounds, she will take revenge and make him feel better!
…
Jia's Mansion, the middle courtyard, was originally the residence of Mrs. Wang, and has more than 20 rooms.
Now that there are Jinwu guards outside and palace maids and mothers-in-law inside, it is even more difficult for Mrs. Jia to meet Yuanchun.
In the afternoon, Lin Daiyu came over to see her grandmother first, and then asked to visit Yuanchun.
Jia Mu hesitated for a while and then asked Yingchun to bring her over.
When she arrived at the door, Yingchun stopped Lin Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, you have to wait for a while before going in."
Lin Daiyu's warm eyes blinked, and she was very puzzled: "Don't you just walk around at home?"
Yingchun smiled bitterly and said: "According to the rules of the palace, now that Yuanchun is a noble concubine, we have to pay our respects first. Not only do we have to hand over a greeting card, but we also have to give a reception fee.
Also, every day, Sister Yuanchun only has half an hour to talk to us in the afternoon, and the rest has to learn rules, etiquette and so on."
"Receptionist?" Lin Daiyu was even more confused.
"As I said, for the safety and innocence of the imperial concubine, no one was allowed to visit originally. But Sister Yuanchun is the imperial concubine, and this is at home, so she can be allowed to visit.
But every time after receiving us, the positions of the Jinwu guards and maids, and the patrol plan will change. Isn’t it appropriate to pay some money for the hard work?" Yingchun explained.
Lin Daiyu was thoughtful and seemed to make sense.
At the main entrance, there are two Jinwu guards standing guard.
Yingchun bowed with his left hand and a bag of broken silver in his right hand. He squatted slightly and saluted, saying respectfully: "Hello, we have to pay a visit to Concubine Jia. Thank you."
The guard took the bag, weighed it, and said proudly: "Name, identity, and rank? Not everyone can meet the imperial concubine!"
Lin Daiyu stepped forward quickly, a little cautiously: "Lin Daiyu, the head of Jurong County in Yingtian Prefecture, and the cousin of Concubine Jia."
"Bang!" The silver in the guard's hand fell directly to the ground.
"You, what did you say your name was?" the guard asked blankly.
"Lin...Lin Daiyu!" The little girl was a little nervous.
Hearing these three words, the two Jinwu guards turned pale and quickly bowed deeply and said, "I pay my respects to County Lord Lin."
"Ah?" Yingchun and Lin Daiyu were both dumbfounded.
Why do the people in the palace still worship them?
After waiting for a while, Lin Daiyu came to her senses and imitated Uncle Chen, raising her hand and saying: "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Lord County."
Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang and others who came after receiving the news were shocked and inexplicable when they saw this scene.
Why?
Why are these palace maids and guards so arrogant towards each of them, but they are so humble to this little girl?
Does Lin Daiyu have any unknown identity?
…
The project went online until four in the morning, but my code still had bugs, which made me depressed.
