Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to come, Aunt Xue took Xue Baochai to Rongxi Hall. Mrs. Wang felt happy, what she gave was better than what she asked for.
"Now my sister has finally recovered." Aunt Xue said hurriedly after sitting down.
Mrs. Wang nodded slightly, then shook her head, "Although she looks happy now, who knows how difficult it is inside. I haven't seen my empress in the palace for these years, so I don't know what's going on. Now that I have been blessed by the Holy Spirit, I can only hope that
I hope life will be easier in the future. Those of us outside, if we can help the queen, we are just trying to make a fool of ourselves."
"Sister, what you said is very true." Aunt Xue smiled, stuffed a box over, and said: "Now that we live in this mansion, it is also a blessing to be blessed by the queen. This is fifty thousand taels of silver. Sister accepts
If you do it, you can do your best to the empress."
Mrs. Wang looked at the box on the table and smiled politely. In fact, she was still a little dissatisfied. "Everyone is so polite. The Lin family just said a few days ago that they would pack the stones in the garden, and my sister is giving them away again."
The money has arrived, not to mention the Shi family and the Zhen family. My brother also sent money. It has alarmed so many relatives, which makes us feel bad."
"We are all members of the same family, so what's there to feel sorry for? It's just that we have the money to contribute and the ability to contribute." Aunt Xue couldn't tell that this sister was dissatisfied. She listed the relatives one by one, and she was the one who had the least power.
Because of their reputation as rich, they may pay more than others, but they definitely can’t match the Lin family. But can I say that the Lin family is trying to take advantage of it? No. As long as the family’s property remains in Jinling, it cannot offend the Lin family.
In this Jiangnan, there is no place that the Lin family can't reach. If others move their fingers, their own muscles and bones will be broken. Who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked. She has been a merchant's wife for so many years, how can she not understand?
This is so powerful, so I just pretend to be confused.
Xue Baochai held the stove and sat quietly. It seemed that she had no idea what the two of them were talking about. No wonder Miss Baochai was well-educated.
When Wang Xifeng came, she saw Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai who were present, and glanced at the box on the table, and had an idea. However, based on her understanding of these two aunts, she was afraid that the cashier was dissatisfied and gave the money to
People are unwilling to accept it.
"I don't think my aunt is here." Wang Xifeng showed a somewhat exaggerated smile and sat over. "Madam, please give me a cup of tea. It's really a tiring job."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said to Aunt Xue: "Look, she is a mother now, but she still has the same monkey temperament." This was called Jin Chuan's tea.
When Wang Xifeng touched the teacup and it was warm, she praised, "This girl is so considerate." After saying that, she said: "Now that work has started, the money is being spent like water. Madam, I'm here to get the money again.
."
"Why, it's only been a few days, and you've already paid eighty thousand taels of silver." Mrs. Wang was really shocked.
"You don't know." Wang Xifeng counted on her fingers, "Including our house, several families are building gardens. Our queen is a noble concubine, so we can't have lower standards than that noble person. Once good materials come to the city,
, several people gathered around and started a frantic robbery. The one with the highest price got it. Our second master also relied on the connections of the Lin family to go through the back door with the shopkeeper, asking him to keep the good ones for us first, even if he paid for an extra layer.
Money is also more cost-effective than bidding with outsiders. A few days ago, a boatload of Taihu stones arrived. Good guy, we almost got into a fight over it on the pier. My wife asked someone to find out. They bid on the spot. A family flower
After paying 23,000 taels, we picked first. There was still competition for the remaining ones. In the end, Zhou Guiren’s family bought them with 12,000 taels. Our second master felt sorry for the money and didn’t even grab it. We just made an agreement with others.
, the next boat will be worth tens of millions of dollars to keep for our family. It is safer to put down a deposit immediately. We have agreed, 20,000 taels of silver, but let’s pick first. Don’t worry, the quality will be the same."
"Amitabha." Aunt Xue chanted directly to the Buddha, "This is really the price of cabbage sold for jade."
Xue Baochai felt hot. She knew about business matters, so she quickly asked: "Whose business is this?"
Wang Xifeng said in her heart, can I tell you this? She smiled and said: "I think that if the preparations are so complete, I am afraid that the news of the marriage will be announced early."
There are very few families like this. They are not the emperor's relatives, but the emperor's confidants. Therefore, this business is not something they can get involved in.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she realized that there was such a reason. She pushed the silver in front of Wang Xifeng and said, "This is fifty thousand taels. You can use it first."
"Fifty thousand taels." Wang Xifeng looked troubled and said, "Madam, this money may not be enough to make waves."
"I know this well." Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "It's just a shameless talk to my relatives."
The two discussed the matter, and Aunt Xue took Xue Baochai to leave.
When Wang Xifeng saw the mother and daughter leaving, she said, "Madam, please give me 30,000 taels first, and I will keep the rest. I won't need it for the time being."
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and then she understood. What Wang Xifeng just said was for Aunt Xue.
"You are also haunted in front of me. Let me tell you, that stone can't be so expensive." Mrs. Wang said angrily.
"I don't dare to tell lies. There are many people watching, and there is no lie." Wang Xifeng whispered: "But doesn't the Taihu Stone come from the south? There is nothing in the south that the Lin family can't reach. Give it to us
The price is the cost price, plus freight at most. Just this amount, I don’t know how much money I will save. In the future, I will use goods from the south more often, and the savings are not a small amount." Wang Xifeng said with a smile,
"Compared like this, my aunt is a bit stingy."
Mrs. Wang nodded, "That's the truth." It's hard for her niece to change her temper. She couldn't afford to be greedy after seeing the money, so she immediately returned it to herself. Ordinarily, if she didn't retreat, she would have no way of knowing. This is two things.
Ten thousand taels of silver. She had tampered with the accounts, but she couldn't get away with twenty thousand taels of silver. At first, she suspected that the money was used too quickly, but now she has given up on this idea and can only rest assured and let Lian Er and his wife handle it.
Wang Xifeng also felt sorry for the 20,000 taels of silver that had slipped away, but thinking that the steady flow of money would prevent future troubles and prevent others from noticing the problems, it was still necessary to show them in a timely manner.
These days, she has a soft hand in collecting money. Not counting what Lian Er took outside, she herself has collected more than 20,000 taels. Lin Yutong keeps it all.
Jia Lian came back and handed Wang Xifeng another five hundred taels of silver: "This is something you can get your hands on these days. Keep it."
Wang Xifeng smiled on her face, wishing she could scratch this guy's paw. No one knew better than herself how much money he had collected. It was at least three to four thousand taels, but he actually gave her five hundred taels to send her away. But she thought of doing it herself
He couldn't notice the matter, so he chuckled and handed the money to Ping'er: "You keep it. We have been busy for so many days, and finally we have gained something. But even if it can't be put into our pockets, in the second
It’s the same thing, too.”
Jia Lian paused and said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from you." Then he took out another five hundred taels and said, "Except for this, I only have two or three hundred taels left with me. This man goes out to do business.
How can I do it with some money?"
Wang Xifeng took it with a smile, handed it to Ping'er, and said: "I was thinking, this time we can earn a bit, and then quietly buy some property. It will be convenient for us to spend money. Now we are the only ones,
But you have to think about your children and grandchildren in the future."
Jia Lian didn't know if Wang Xifeng's words were true or if he was here to coax money. However, he nodded in agreement. He thought to himself that she had to fool the old ladies and madams in the house, so it would be better to give her a separate layer.
He was quiet and said: "Don't worry, I will keep the money for you. The money will not stay with me overnight, so it's settled."
Things outside could be hidden from Lin Daiyu, but not from Lin Yuyang.
He came to Lin Yutong after school and asked: "Sister, you have something to hide from me. How much money do you get from this business?"
Lin Yutong smiled and said, "I know I can't hide it from you." Then he told the matter in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuyang frowned and said, "Sister, how can I be so smart all my life and so confused for a moment? With such a huge profit, there are many discerning people. There are so many powerful people in this capital, and no one can cause trouble."
Lin Yutong was stunned and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He was frivolous. Now is the era of imperial power. Lin Ruhai has been serving as the salt inspector for so many years, which has made many people jealous. But now in this business, after all, most of the goods are
He came from Jiangnan. What would happen if Lin Ruhai was really charged with competing with the people for profit?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. "You're right, I just didn't think well. Now I have to either spread the money or give up the business."
Lin Yuyang pondered for a long time and asked: "How much has my sister earned recently?"
Lin Yutong stretched out two fingers. Lin Yuyang was stunned, "Two hundred thousand...it's only been a few days."
Lin Yutong also felt a little tired, "Not counting what was given to Wang Xifeng, and the change I received from 30,000 yuan."
Lin Yuyang stood up and said: "Sister, bring the two hundred thousand, I'll go back."
"What to do?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Look for Jing Haibo and go to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor. We can only earn this money for this person." Lin Yuyang whispered: "Sister, don't be reluctant to part with it."
Lin Yutong's eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity to show his loyalty. Not only could he throw away the hot potato on his hand, but he could also regain his goodwill. So he didn't hesitate: "Spending money can buy both peace and a future."
Is there anything I can’t bear to part with?”
So he entered the house and took out the box from the space, "A total of two hundred thousand taels. If you have any more in the future, I will give them away."
Lin Yuyang nodded, "Sister, please wait with peace of mind."
But he said that Lin Yuyang took the money box and went directly to Jinghaibo Mansion. Ever since Lin Ruhai escaped from the mud in Yangzhou, Lin Yuyang and Wen Tianfang moved much more diligently. Although they came here late this time, they
No one in the house was surprised.
"Why are you here at this hour?" Wen Tianfang said with a smile, "You haven't eaten yet."
Lin Yuyang smiled bitterly and said, "I have something to ask my uncle for advice."
"Oh!" Wen Tianfang said with a smile: "You really have become the one who doesn't come to my house for anything."
Lin Yuyang put the box in his arms on the table, smiled sheepishly, and then briefly explained the matter to Wen Tianfang in a low voice.
Wen Tianfang raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm just curious, how did your sister know that she wanted to save the bride? I didn't know this beforehand."
Lin Yuyang sighed and said, "It's a coincidence. This was originally done to earn money from the Jia family."
"Can the Jia family build a garden?" Wen Tianfang couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you know, the housekeeper of the Jia family has a garden in his house? Although Rongguo Mansion is large, it is the Wuxun House. When it was first built, it was spacious, but it is not as refined as it is nowadays.
None of them match. Moreover, the Jia family is quite complicated. The second wife of the housekeeper must also have a clear eye in order to transfer the money from the public house to her private treasury. No matter whether the Jia family repairs or not, there is a way to make their family happy.
It was repaired. Who knew, it was just a coincidence. The second mistress was just about to stir up the family, and the palace was granted the title of concubine. With the name of the empress, the garden must be quite small. My sister asked me to prepare a lot more.
Unexpectedly, before it started here, the emperor called for marriage. Not only was the standard high, but it also connected several families. The money was gone. My sister initially had a bad temper with the second grandma of the Jia family and wanted to help her.
Of course, I also wanted to bring trouble to the Jia family. But I didn’t expect that things would come to this. It really makes people don’t know what to say. My sister didn’t dare to say anything to anyone, all night long
I couldn't sleep at night, so I realized that this money is very hot." Lin Yuyang pushed the money out again, as if he didn't dare to touch it.
Although Wen Tianfang didn't believe it, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Thinking that the emperor was having a headache due to the snow disaster in the north, he couldn't help but think that the money came at the right time.
He was not polite, took the box into his hand, and said, "Follow me into the palace."
Lin Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief, that's good.
The emperor saw that Tianfang came to the palace at night and brought a little tail with him. He saw that he was Lin Ruhai's son. He smiled and said, "Why are you here together?"
The emperor knew that Wen Tianfang had some friendship with the Lin family. Wen Tianfang stepped forward and told Lin Yutong's original intention and many coincidences. Then he put down the two hundred thousand taels of silver.
"This daughter of the Lin family is quite lucky." The emperor said calmly.
These words make people unable to hear joy or anger.
Lin Yuyang knelt down and kowtowed: "This boy is only two months younger than my sister, but he was raised by her. My sister is seven or eight years old and walks around the streets holding a pickle jar. Because of this, we siblings are not
I could freeze to death and starve to death. I bought a family property and provided for my son to study and be sensible. After that, he was taken home by his father. Only then did his life really settle down. Only then did he realize what luxury is. With so much money
, how can I not be tempted? But once I am tempted, I don’t feel at ease with what I get.”
The emperor nodded, what he said was true. How could a child who had been accustomed to poverty since childhood not be moved when he saw this kind of money? But he should be a responsible person who knows how to feel uneasy with it. Lin Ruhai's two children are both
He is considered to be a very lucky person. He was born and grew up safely under such circumstances, and even returned to the Lin family smoothly. And he has not grown crooked yet. So what if this is not luck.
So I took a look at Wen Tianfang. He was a minister whom he relied on very much. But he was not a lucky person. He had lost his father, his mother, and even all his relatives. He was truly a lone star of evil.
Wen Tianfang smiled bitterly, he also died early in his previous life. It's okay not to mention this fate.
The emperor looked at Lin Yuyang and suddenly asked: "How old are you this year?"
"I'll tell you, Your Majesty, I'm thirteen this year." Lin Yuyang replied in confusion.
"That means it's fourteen after the New Year, right?" The emperor asked again.
Lin Yuyang nodded in agreement, but felt more and more puzzled in his heart.
The emperor glanced at Wen Tianfang: "You have celebrated the 19th of the New Year, right?"
Wen Tianfang's heart moved, and he understood what the emperor meant. He was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. But he still said yes.
The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Let's do whatever we want to do with this business."
Lin Yuyang felt relieved. This meant that the Lin family was allowed to continue, but the money still had to be handed over. So he said, "If anything happens, I will ask my uncle." He meant to give the money to Wen Tianfang and ask him to hand it over.
The emperor nodded, "Go ahead. I won't let you eat anymore."
The two of them left the palace. Lin Yuyang thought about it. The emperor didn't ask about his age, but the age of his sister. He said that his sister was only two months older than him. Then he asked Jing Haibo
His age was very obvious, and he meant to match her. It’s just that his father was in Jiangnan now, so he didn’t mention it.
Wen Tianfang was a loner in his last life until his death. This was the first time in his life that someone mentioned marriage to him. They all said that he had a hard life and he had no hope.
But if there really is such a person with a compatible destiny, who would want to be alone?
Seeing Lin Yuyang looking at him with an appraising look, he actually felt a little nervous.
"I won't go to your house with my uncle. My sister is still waiting." Lin Yuyang felt unhappy. This time he really suffered a big loss. Not only did he get money into it, but he also almost got people into it.
It doesn't matter if you can't think about it. If you think about it together, you really can't stop it. Otherwise there is a saying, 'Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, be afraid of thieves missing you'.
"You're just trying to burn bridges, kid." Wen Tianfang looked at the man who was expected to become his brother-in-law with a wry smile.
"My sister at home is really waiting for me." Lin Yuyang's face darkened, and then he looked up and down again, and he seemed to match her appearance.
Lin Yutong was restless at home. Hearing that Lin Yuyang was back, he hurried out to greet him.
"How?" Lin Yutong asked hurriedly.
"Okay." Lin Yuyang replied simply.
Others didn't know what riddle the siblings were playing, but Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eat quickly, you must be starving." Lin Yutong took his brother back to the house, "The elbow stewed with ham today tastes great..."
Lin Yuyang nodded in agreement. There was nothing his sister cooked that was not to his taste.
After eating, Lin Yuyang explained the matter simply. He did not ask about his age, and also concealed the matter that the emperor wanted to match. One was that the emperor did not say it clearly. The other was that his father was not here. The third was that
I'm afraid that my sister will think nonsense.
Seeing that Lin Yutong was relieved, Lin Yuyang then ordered Lin Ping to find a suitable person to send a message to Lin Ruhai and pass on the emperor's wishes.
Lin Yutong didn't know all this. He just took care of the business with peace of mind. There were people supporting him, so Lin Yutong didn't worry about being remembered at all.
After such a busy time, it was already early summer by the time the garden was finished.
After recovering his capital, he kept 80,000 taels. After hard work, he only got 50,000 taels, and divided 30,000 taels between the shopkeeper and the clerk. Wang Xifeng got 60,000 taels of silver.
But thinking that the emperor had received more than one million taels of silver from his family, how could he look at Lin Ruhai and his younger brother more favorably, and felt that everything was worth it.
After all, during this period, the emperor summoned Lin Yuyang twice more. Whether it was because Lin Ruhai did a good job or his own money was effective, Lin Yutong expressed satisfaction.
What makes Lin Yutong even more satisfied is that the silver she withheld is not a printed ticket, but a silver ingot. It is extremely convenient to store it in the space, whether it is used in this life or in the next time travel.
My heart also became more at ease.
After the garden was built, Lin Yutong lost a lot of weight, and Wang Xifeng lost even more weight than her.
On this day, Wang Xifeng came over and discussed how to use the money.
Lin Yutong said: "I want to buy more land and entrust someone to take care of it."
"How much money can you get from this?" Wang Xifeng couldn't help but be disdainful, but then added, "But this idea is familiar to you, everyone has told me so."
Of course it's Qin Keqing. Sometimes the words of the dead are more useful than those of the living. If I ask her to remember it now, I'm afraid she will think more.
So he said: "If that's the case, who is telling you if you are not someone close to me?"
Wang Xifeng was stunned, and an idea flashed in her mind. The dream she had the night Qin Keqing left. Now, the 'very happy event' in the dream no longer existed. Then she remembered the words 'a moment of prosperity, a moment of joy' and
The attributive of 'the feast must disperse'.
Suddenly I felt my heartbeat speeding up and my blood flowing backwards.
A deceased person's instructions were very similar to Lin Yutong's hints.
If the dead man's words are not to be believed, then since Lin Yutong knew about the marriage proposal in advance, he must have the source of the information. It is impossible to know anything else. Otherwise, who would say such unlucky words on a happy day.
If I hadn't been sincere to myself, I'm afraid I wouldn't have let it slip.
"Is there any solution?" Wang Xifeng asked anxiously.
Lin Yutong lowered his eyes and said nothing, and Wang Xifeng understood. Her face turned pale and she said: "There is still some time. You have to allow me to make arrangements."
Lin Yutong nodded slightly: "Your hands must be clean. Otherwise, it will be really hard to save the immortal."
Wang Xifeng stood up and saluted, "My sister and I have a life-saving grace."
Lin Yutong stopped him and said, "Let's make more good connections. Maybe we can use them in the future."
Wang Xifeng then said goodbye and left in a daze.
Lin Yutong sighed, he was still soft-hearted. That was all he could help now.
Lin Daiyu came out of the inner room, her eyes still swollen. "Thank you, sister. You have given the Jia family a hand."
With the tens of thousands of taels of silver that Sister Feng has saved in her family, she can buy a lot of land and estates. The people in this family will not fall into a filthy situation.
Lin Yutong smiled and said nothing. No one who is guilty can escape. The innocent must be given a chance to survive.
She put aside this matter in her heart and enjoyed the short-term prosperity to her heart's content.
On this day, Lin Yu, Yang Muxiu and the unprecedented Jia Zheng invited people to come and visit the garden together.
Lin Yuyang was summoned by the emperor one after another, and the Jia family naturally started to pay attention to it.
Before leaving, Lin Yutong said, "If you meet Jia Baoyu, please give in. The second master also wants to show off his son through the exam. Don't steal the limelight."
"I have never been spiritual in poetry. My sister will really give me a pat on the back." Lin Yuyang smiled and didn't care, "Let's just take a look at the scenery and take it easy for a day."
They sent Lin Yuyang off here, but Lin Daiyu said on the other side: "Baoyu may not go. He has always been afraid to meet his second uncle. Besides, a good friend of his has just died. He is very sad."
Lin Yutong said in his heart that he was afraid that he was talking about Qin Zhong's death. He said: "If you go, you will go. You have done your best. How can you still be sad? Then the people around you can't persuade you. You don't have to
Worry."
When Lin Yuyang came back, he sighed: "That Baoyu is indeed more talented than others in terms of poetry. I can't compare. If the second master could not blindly insist on letting him take the imperial examination, I wonder if he will be a
There are some famous people who are famous in poetry. Many famous people are not like this. Why bother to stick to one path?"
Lin Yutong could only smile at these words. If Jia Baoyu were in the Lin family, with Lin Ruhai's temperament, he might really be able to cultivate a romantic and uninhibited celebrity.
However, these words caught Lin Daiyu's attention. After a while, she stood up and said she would go to the old lady's place for a walk.
Lin Yutong seldom went there except when necessary. When he saw Lin Daiyu going, he just asked the girls to serve her carefully. But here, he heard Lin Yuyang talking about the scenery in the garden. After a while, he became fascinated.
But it was said that Daiyu took the girl to Jia Mu's house and heard laughter and laughter inside.
It turned out that he was happy because he knew that Jia Baoyu answered well in front of Jia Zheng. The whole room was also lively.
Thinking that Xiangyun was coming this time and had never met before, he went around to Xiangyun's house first. But he didn't want to lift the curtain and saw Shi Xiangyun pulling Jia Baoyu's arm, "Take the purse I made for you. It's
Didn't anyone touch it?"
Jia Baoyu searched for it himself, but couldn't find it, and said: "Maybe I didn't bring it with me today. Why are you unjustly accusing me?"
Unexpectedly, Shi Xiangyun's quick hands somehow opened Baoyu's clothes, revealing a delicate purse.
Daiyu took a quick look and knew that this was a gift she had given to Baoyu in her early years. She didn't expect that he would treasure it so much. She felt unspeakable for a moment.
When Shi Xiangyun saw it, he immediately picked it up and looked through it. When he saw that it was not his own needlework, he was immediately annoyed. He took scissors and cut off the half-embroidered sachet in his hand.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Jia Baoyu was startled and hurriedly stopped her and asked.
"Others are rich ladies. They have a father who is a high official. They are also accompanied by their sisters and brothers. But I am that poor orphan girl. People are not as valuable as others, and things are not as valuable as others." Shi Xiangyun kept crying.
, a path.
"If you want to say it, just say that I am. What is the reason for the tampering? Now that people have heard it, it's time to..." Jia Baoyu stopped mid-sentence.
"Whatever you say about me, say that I am petty." Shi Xiangyun sneered: "Originally, I was just talking about her words, but now she is talking about me. I am not as good as her."
Daiyu was not sure whether to go in when she saw Xiren coming over with a purse, which Shi Xiangyun had embroidered for Baoyu. Xiren glanced at Daiyu and felt blessed. He hurried in and said, "Miss Yun, what's wrong with this?"
It’s my fault too. I didn’t wear it for my second master today.”
Shi Xiangyun took a look and realized that she had really been wronged. Before she could say anything small, Baoyu threw the purse over and said, "I want to cut it, even this one." After saying that, he turned to leave, but he didn't want to go with Daiyu.
Face to face.
Daiyu smiled and said, "Why are you two quarreling again?" As she said that, she took the purse in Xiangyun's hand and said, "What a delicate craft! No one wants it, so I'll take it. It won't have to be cut."
It’s a waste of good things, and it’s a waste of other people’s thoughts.”
Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun reached out to grab it, but it was Baoyu who was quick and snatched it away. He stuffed it into his arms and said, "How often have I given away my sisters' things?"
Shi Xiangyun didn't speak. Instead, he glared at Lin Daiyu and said, "You were originally a poor talker. When did you learn to listen to the truth?"
Lin Daiyu smiled and was not annoyed. When she saw Xiangyun, she saw her past self and said, "I just heard the old lady looking for Baoyu, so I came over to take a look."
Only then did Shi Xiangyun give up.
As soon as he entered Jia Mu's house, Shi Xiangyun said: "Sister Lin just said that our ancestors were looking for the second brother, but there is something wrong."
"It's okay, didn't I say I was playing in your room? Why, Girl Lin is here too." Jia Mu looked behind Shi Xiangyun, and sure enough she saw Daiyu smiling with her lips pursed.
"I just entered the yard and heard my grandma looking for Baoyu. I thought I had come all the way. I didn't see him on the way. I must have not left the yard and was in Girl Yun's room. I went to run an errand for my grandma." Lin Daiyu sat on a stool on the side.
Yes, he said.
Jia's mother said hello repeatedly. But Shi Xiangyun thought to herself that it turned out that she really didn't lie. She didn't listen sincerely.
Lin Daiyu originally wanted to tell Jia Mu and Baoyu what she heard from Lin Yuyang, but she didn't expect that everyone's thoughts were not here.
I heard Yuanyang say: "...Twelve young actors were purchased and placed in Lixiang Garden. Thanks to the Xue family's concubine, she moved to the northeast corner due to building a garden a few days ago...My wife also sent someone to post for invitations.
I have a sister-in-law, who is also a young lady from our family, her name is Miaoyu... I went shopping again..."
After hearing this, Lin Daiyu felt bored. She stood up and quietly withdrew.
When I got home, I heard my sister asking the girls to crush the watermelon into juice and put it in the well.
When Lin Yutong saw Lin Daiyu coming back, he said, "Why don't you wait until the sun goes down before you come back? It's such a hot day. Go wash up first and change your clothes. You can only drink warm tea, don't be too cold."
Lin Daiyu responded, but she didn't feel verbose at all, but felt at ease.
The Jia family's busy schedule lasted until the end of October this year, when the Grand View Garden was completely tidied up. All the furnishings and furnishings were in place.
To purchase these things, the Xue family spent a lot of money. This is what Wang Xifeng said. It should not be wrong.
In addition, there are many antique ornaments, calligraphy and paintings with the Lin family's mark. When these things are taken out, many people feel embarrassed. The things that can be marked with the Lin family's seal are from the Lin family's private treasury. They can only appear in the Jia family.
One possibility is that Jia Min, the great aunt of the Jia family, moved back to her parents' home.
If they didn't really have any money to buy things, with Lin Ruhai's current official position, they wouldn't dare to display this thing openly.
The Jia family was embarrassed, but Lin Daiyu felt that she was too embarrassed to see her brothers and sisters.
Lin Yutong felt distressed, and Lin Yuyang's face turned dark.
When my grandparents married Jia Min to my father, they must have chosen it with their eyes closed.
Anyway, the interior decoration of the Grand View Garden was completed. So Jia Zheng made a promise and wanted to meet the Yuan Chun family for a wedding. The date was set for the Lantern Festival.
The Jia family has entered a new round of busyness.
Days are like this, always passing away inadvertently. It is like the time spent building a garden has made Lin Yutong a tall and graceful girl, and Lin Yuyang has become a young man.
While the Jia family is busy with their own business, the Lin family is still living their own little life while watching the Jia family's life.
Today, three people gathered together to talk.
"Master said I can quit. Now that I'm taking the exam, I don't know whether I have to go back to the south or stay in the capital." Lin Yuyang held the tea ceremony.
"How do you say this?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Ordinarily, I should go back to the south. But my father's official position is very special. I should avoid taking the exam." Lin Yuyang explained.
Lin Yutong nodded, because he was afraid that the children of officials taking exams in the area under his jurisdiction would bias the examiners. Therefore, he wanted to avoid this place.
"What does uncle mean?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Stay in the capital." Lin Yuyang said. He actually wanted to take this opportunity to go out for a walk.
Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine. I won't worry if you go back to the south alone. Wait until the matter is over and you're sure it's safe. The world is so big that you can't go anywhere. Just be patient."
With the New Year approaching, the palace sent people to look at the place and arrange things.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone in the Jia family got up and got busy in the middle of the night.
Seeing that the Lin family hadn't arrived, Jia's mother hurriedly asked, "Don't miss the time."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "The eldest sister of the Lin family has already sent someone to tell me. It turns out that the rules in the palace are very strict. These are relatives after all. They dare not do anything without being summoned by the empress." But she knew in her heart that this
The Lin family probably hasn't even gotten up yet.
Jia Mu pondered for a moment: "That makes sense."
Only Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun were a bit chatty.
Lin Daiyu got up and heard how quiet it was outside, so she hurried to Lin Yutong's house. When she saw Lin Yutong, she said: "It's not exactly the right time. The whole family, old and young, is waiting there. It's not warm today. You can't eat or drink.
.Others can just pay it back, but I’m afraid the old lady won’t be able to bear it.”
"The old lady is happy, and all the discomfort is gone." Lin Yutong handed over a bowl of thick crucian carp soup, "Drink it quickly."
"No wonder my sister doesn't go to watch the excitement." Lin Daiyu took a sip and said, "Watching the excitement is also a painful job."
"The real excitement is at night." Lin Yutong said with a smile: "Just recharge your batteries. Let's follow along tonight and take a look."
With Lin Ruhai's current status, it would be strange if Yuanchun didn't rush to summon him. (. )
