Mr. Shi comforted Jia Baoyu: "You little evildoer, you are really a devil. Tell me to finish my words and listen to the reason. Such mindless training is not what a man should be like.
."
Jia Baoyu didn't care about anything else, but he was better at obedience than others. He squirmed next to Mr. Shi before he got up embarrassedly, "I was so anxious just now that I said something stupid. I've made my grandma feel wronged."
." After saying that, he shouted to the attacker, "Bring twenty taels of silver to reward grandma."
Mrs. Wang nodded. Money is a small matter, the key is that the man handles things with dignity.
Since we all have servants and women at home, we don't care about the twenty taels of silver. But with these twenty taels of silver, our face is saved. She smiled and said quickly: "If a slave is scolded by his master, it will be nothing."
It should be deserved. The second master has really offended his slave."
Shi smiled and said, "You are also an old man, so you should have such dignity." Then he asked Yuanyang to get the silver, "My wife gave me the twenty taels of Baoyu. He is from a small family, can he have such dignity?"
A few coins and another thirty taels to reward her."
Thanks to everyone, she quickly knelt down and thanked her. This saved her face.
Not daring to wait for the masters, I relied on everyone to tell the whole room what they had seen and heard in detail, "...a boatload of things. The old slave thought that my uncle was going back to Beijing. After asking, I found out, then
They are all things used by my cousin and my young master. This old slave can be considered a person who has seen the world, and this pomp and circumstance..." he said with a tsk-tsk sound.
"This is the dignity that a big family should have. The current situation of these girls can only be seen in the past." Shi pointed at Sanchun and Xiangyun, "When Min'er was at home, she was always in trouble.
"Mai. Before I came out of the cabinet, the ostentation was even worse than Min'er's." His tone was a bit nostalgic.
But it also shows that one generation is not as good as the other, and the situation is not as good as the other one.
"The servant looked at it and saw that the person who was talking to the young master of the Lin family was a young uncle wearing an earl's uniform. He didn't know what kind of relationship he had with the Lin family. He should have come to the capital together. He also sent officers and soldiers to carry the boxes and cages in person to send them back to Lin.
There is also a respectable wife from Zhang Xueshi's house who came over to say hello. She seems to be very close to her." Lai went through these key points one by one and then withdrew.
The room became quiet, and Sanchun and Xiangyun Baochai quietly stood up and left. When Jia Baoyu saw that her sisters had gone out, she twisted her body uncomfortably, pouting and lowering her head, looking back three times every step.
Followed out.
There was silence in the room for a long time, and then Mrs. Shi said: "I didn't expect that the Lin family and the Zhang family were still moving around."
A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Xifeng's eyes. With such real relatives, why didn't they move around? Seeing that Jia Mu was unhappy, she knew in her heart that there must be some unpleasant old things here. She was not curious about this, thinking that the old lady
I'm afraid I won't give up on my obsession with the Lin family, and will have to go to the house to invite people. In this family, the only one who can run such errands back and forth is because of the hard work of myself and Lian Er.
It's okay if someone gives you face, but if you really don't give me face and you pout back, where can you put your face?
When Lian Er came back from Yangzhou, he complained a lot about himself. He had treated Sister Lin badly and dared to ask him to run away to Yangzhou.
But with all her conscience, she wouldn't go so far as to pay for the doctor's money and a few slices of ginseng. How much can be used in the medicine, not to mention that it comes from the old lady's private treasury, so can she do it herself?
It was probably someone who had the audacity to replace the good stuff with the useless stuff. The root was with the old lady. Otherwise, if the old lady could be so quiet, she would have screamed and killed her.
The old lady is somewhat sincere towards Sister Lin. She must be very angry in her heart. She is afraid that in a few days, if she finds an excuse, she will have to punish the people around her. She is not saying anything now because she is afraid
Lost face.
As for the matter of inviting a doctor, I have to say that it was an oversight. If Baoyu is not good, let alone the doctor, the imperial doctor will always be invited. Even the girl in the house, no one dares to be careless, and the doctor is always on call.
arrive.
From this, we can also see the alienation of close relatives. In addition, Sister Lin is not willing to do anything, and she is often sick. After a long time, who will care.
Men would never think of these things. I guess Mr. Lin wouldn't think of asking anyone to see the prepared pills. I'm afraid it's the handiwork of the eldest girl from the Lin family.
After thinking about it this way, this eldest girl is a powerful person. Being so considerate to his sister, I am afraid that Mr. Lin will take her a little more seriously.
Over there, Mrs. Shi sighed in her heart. When Min'er was alive, the Lin family and the Zhang family had never had such large-scale interactions. As soon as this person left, everything was laid out in the open.
To Lin Ruhai, the Yue family was no longer valuable. But they couldn't be so alienated.
"Girl Feng, has the yard been tidied up?" Shi asked.
"Yes. I have tidied up Jufang Courtyard and all the furnishings are in good condition." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.
Jufang Courtyard is a courtyard with two entrances. Because it is a little far away from Jia Mu's residence, no one of the masters of the Jia family has lived in it. The courtyard is also separated from the street outside by a wall, and a separate door is opened, making it extremely convenient to enter and exit.
.
Mr. Shi was a little dissatisfied. It was too far away from her and it was inconvenient to go back and forth.
Wang Xifeng said: "Apart from Jufang Courtyard, nothing else is suitable. The other courtyards are enclosed within the inner house. I'm afraid this cousin of the Lin family won't be happy to live there." Seeing Mr. Shi raise his head, his eyes were inquiring.
Color, he said: "Our second master went to Yangzhou and found out that Mr. Lin was very strict with Cousin Lin. Cousin Lin lived in the outer courtyard and did not enter the inner courtyard when he was free. He stayed with the women and girls in the inner courtyard.
, and rarely have time to talk to each other.”
Mrs. Wang nodded, this is how a man's family should be brought up. It's a shame that the old man only knows how to beat and scold, and the old lady only knows how to pamper her. Whenever she wants to teach, the old lady will not allow her, for fear that Baoyu will go too far with her.
We are so close to each other. Now she has developed such a temperament. In this Lin family, Jia Min's daughter is not lovable, crying and unlucky! On the contrary, she is not as polite as the concubines of the Lin family. It seems that it is not that Jia Min cannot give birth, but that the old lady does not.
Can teach.
Shi felt that the words were a bit harsh. She frowned and said, "Children, no matter how old they are, are taboo against these people. They are really pedantic. They are too pedantic!"
"I'm afraid I'm used to it now. I'm not used to calling Cousin Lin so suddenly, I'm afraid he would rather live in his own home. Those two cousins, how can they rest assured that Cousin Lin is alone at home." Wang Xifeng added softly.
The implication is that if you don't arrange it like this, they won't be able to live there. It's not like the Lin family doesn't have relatives in the capital. The Zhang family is Lin Ruhai's maternal uncle, and his uncle is still alive. He sent his children to live there for a year and a half. Where?
It doesn't work.
"In that case, that's all." Shi nodded, agreeing, and then said, "You personally take the car to pick them up. They are little people and live alone. How can I, an old woman, rest assured? Take care of them.
Things have their own servants, so let them come over and finish them by themselves. Is there any shortage of commonly used things at home? You said that I miss them, and if they don't come, I will go and ask for them myself."
"Oh, my ancestors! Aren't you trying to destroy people?" Wang Xifeng stood up with a smile, "Sit high and I'll go and invite someone here for you. You feel sorry for your grandson, and I don't like it."
My grandson-in-law should be running errands."
Only then did Mr. Shi smile, "Go and invite people over. I love you."
Lin Yutong didn't care what the Jia family planned. The family always kept things in order. He asked the girls to take Sister Lin to have a rest, and then he arranged household chores. These things had to be put away. Even if he lived in the Jia family, things would be gone.
You don’t need to bring them all with you. You have to look like visiting relatives and be ready to leave at any time. If you need anything, just send someone back to get it. And there are servants in the family coming and going. If the Jia family wants to restrain their sisters, I’m afraid it’s the same.
difficult.
Lin Yuyang followed her sister's wishes and prepared a thank you gift for each soldier who helped and sent it to their respective homes instead of simply giving them money as a reward.
Treating these people equally can often produce unexpected results.
Then he asked Lin Ping to book a high-quality banquet, toasted everyone one by one, and then said: "My father is very strict and does not allow drinking. Let the butler accompany you."
When everyone saw the Lin family behaving like this, they were naturally upset. Seeing that the young master was only twelve or thirteen years old, he was still a child. They all laughed in good faith and asked him to do what he wanted.
My sister is right, good reputations are accumulated in this way. Besides, both myself and my sister have earned their way through hardships, so how can we look down on others. These people are much more respectable than those dudes who work hard for their families.
When Wang Xifeng arrived, it was already half an hour. The Lin family was naturally busy but not chaotic. Lin Daiyu even took a nap. This was the first time she came back to the Lin family's old house in Beijing, but she liked the decoration in the house.
Yes. I knew that my sister had sent someone to clean it up in advance. It was only February, and it was still very cold in the capital, but the ground dragon in the house was burning brightly. There were large blue and white vats in the four corners of the house, and there was water in them.
Therefore, it doesn't look dry. There are narcissus in the water, exuding a long fragrance. It makes people feel better.
Compared with the Jia family, my own home is more comfortable.
Lin Yutong received Wang Xifeng in the main hall: "It's my second sister-in-law who's here. You see, I'm busy right now. I thought I'd pack up and go greet the old lady, but I bothered my sister-in-law to make this trip."
Wang Xifeng was startled. She was really short-sighted. She thought that all the good girls were born in the Jia family, but she didn't expect that this woman's appearance was not even comparable to that of Baochai Daiyu. With this kind of demeanor, she was afraid that her family would
Several of the girls are far behind. Everyone says that she has a temperament that ordinary men can’t compare to. After meeting this girl, I realized that most men can’t look as heroic and free and easy as she does. I’ve really seen it! (. )
