The Red Mansions

Chapter 268 Going to the Lin Mansion Again
at mealtime.

Jia Lian came over and invited Jia to dine at the main table in the next hall.

Jia Yun politely refused.

He was able to come to Rongguo Mansion today because of the face of his clansmen.

What's more, go and join forces with Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen, and support them.

Jia Lian left disappointed.

Jia Yun and the clansmen were not affected, they should eat and drink.

After eating and drinking enough, they didn't stay in Rongguo Mansion for long, and dispersed one after another.

Jia Yun also went home immediately after eating, feeling a little uncomfortable staying at the Rongguo Mansion.

This side is now a powder keg, and the eyes of five horses and six people are watching, and it has become a whirlpool of right and wrong.

Now Jia's mansion looks like a raging fire, full of flowers, but it is unknowingly on the cliff.

Back home, take a shower and change clothes as usual.

On the second day of the new year, the family is full of festive atmosphere.

Now at Jia Yun's house, there is nothing to worry about inside or out.

Whether it is the master or the servant, they are all in a relaxed mood, and naturally they can also relax during the festival.

After washing up, Jia Yun went back to the study, wrote a post, and handed it over to Ni Er, who asked him to send it to Lin's mansion.

Tomorrow he planned to visit Lin Daiyu, since it was a Chinese New Year celebration, she couldn't be left out in the cold.

Of course, I also exchanged information with Lin Ruhai by the way.

After bidding the post off, Jia Yun stepped out of the study and came to the backyard.

In Xue Baochai's courtyard, a group of gorgeous women set up several tables and were playing chess.

The maids were arguing on the sidelines and arguing endlessly.

Seeing Jia Yun coming, everyone stood up to greet him, he waved and smiled:

"You guys are just playing, it's Chinese New Year today, let's not pay attention to these things."

Having said that, everyone still bowed and saluted at the same place, and then continued to have fun.

Xi Ren and Mei Ren held Jia Yun tightly, and brought a set of rocking chairs and tea sets with the maid, and put them beside Xue Baochai.

"The Jia Mansion must be very lively today, right?" Xue Baochai asked curiously.

Jia Yun nodded and said: "Well, although no big shots came, there are definitely many people."

"No big shots here? No one from the Wang family?" Xue Baochai asked suspiciously.

The Jia and Wang families are really hardcore, and she knows it very well.

Jia Yun nodded and said: "No, four kings and eight princes, no other families have sent their heads, not even their female relatives."

"It seems that there is a big problem between them." Xue Baochai understood instantly.

Jia Yun smiled, took the tea from Xiren, and said:
"Isn't this something obvious?"

"It's right for you not to go to Xue's house."

"I told you before that the current Xue family is no longer the previous Xue family."

"As long as that elder brother is not foolish and not being calculated by others, he is considered a rice bug."

"The Xue family will no longer have to act outside in the name of four princes and eight princes."

Xue Baochai said happily: "This is a situation that my husband has worked hard to plan, and I am very grateful."

"Hehe, one family doesn't talk about two families, so don't say this again." Jia Yun smiled and waved her hands.

Next, the two talked about going to the Lin Mansion tomorrow, and about Jia Yun studying hard behind closed doors.

Don't say the previous thing.

For the latter matter, Jia Yun had to wait until after the Lantern Festival, when the Fengtai camp was evacuated from the capital, so that Jia Yun could settle down and study.

Although he had the emperor's reminder, the necessary preparations had to be done.

If even the open-book exam can fail, Jia Yun should stop messing around in the officialdom, and can't afford to lose this person.

……

In the afternoon, everyone from Xue's family came to Jia Yun's house.

The reason should be that Jia Yun took Xue Baochai to Xue's house.

But this year, because of the invitation from Jia's mansion, the matter is reversed.

However, the two families are closely related, and they are not far away from each other, so the distinction is not so clear.

Xue Pan came over, didn't stay for a while, and took Jia Ling back to her mother's house.

They came here early in the morning, and it was just Jia Ling's wish to come to Jia Yun's house and give some gifts.

When Mrs. Xue came over, Mrs. Bu was much happier.

The two are about the same age, and after getting along for a long time, they gradually have a common language.

Mrs. Bu followed Mrs. Xue and learned many rules that can only be learned among wealthy families.

Xue Biao also came over, and after kowtowing to Jia Yun, she was taken by the maid to catch up with her sister Xue Baoqin.

The siblings are now completely stable.

Since their family's business route went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they no longer worry about who is jealous and wants to take advantage of the fire and bring down their family.

Don't look at the fact that the new emperor hasn't taken power yet, but he killed a lot of people.

The blood that Lin Ruhai killed in the south flowed like a river. Without the emperor's will, who would dare to hack it randomly?
Therefore, although the business route of Xue Biao's family is a piece of fat.

But no one dared to risk their family's life and snatch food from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Because the source of income held by the House of Internal Affairs is the largest source of wealth for the emperor besides the Huangzhuang.

The emperor still needed those silver coins to do many things, and he would kill anyone who dared to rob him of his silver coins.

That's his bottom line.

Interestingly, many members of the Jia family came to give gifts this afternoon.

The reason why they didn't come yesterday was because they knew that the people who came were high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and it was not easy for them to mix in.

I guess I knew Jia Yun was free today, so I came here to discuss it.

Although the gifts they sent were not high-end products, they were thoughtful, and there were a lot of them.

There are too many members of the Jia family, it is impossible for Jia Yun to receive them one by one.

So I only met with some clan elders selectively, and the rest were received by the guards.

Anyway, many of the personal guards were members of the Jia family, so it was just right for them to receive them.

Jia Yun originally thought that she would be able to steal half a day's leisure in the floating world today, but who knew it would just pass.

The next day.

Early in the morning, several maidservants quickly helped Jia Yun change her clothes.

After breakfast, Jia Yun said something to Bu Shi and Xue Baochai, and then walked out.

The carriage was ready, Jia Yun pondered for a moment, asked someone to change the carriage, and rode directly over.

Today, he also intends to find time to tour the capital for a week. It would be quite inconvenient to take a carriage.

A kind of nonsense.

When he arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruhai had already been waiting for a long time.

After calling Lin Daiyu out to meet Jia Yun, he took Jia Yun to the study for a secret talk.

"The meaning of the Holy One is that Fengtai Daying only needs to ensure the tranquility of the capital before the Lantern Festival, right?"

Jia Yun nodded and said, "This is only one aspect."

"On the other hand, transferring the Fengtai camp into the city also has the meaning of deterrent."

"If someone is really ignorant, the Holy Majesty can make up his mind to cut the mess quickly."

"Although the ending will be complicated in the future, for the sake of the stability of the country, some things have to be done."

"Well, it's better not to mess up." Lin Ruhai nodded.

"Once there is chaos, once this precedent is set, if it cannot be calmed down quickly, there will be endless troubles."

Jia Yun nodded and said, "I guess His Majesty also thinks so."

"He needs more time to add more power or trump cards to ensure the stability of the court."
