Red Mansion Jia Enhou

"Mom, don't worry!"

The boat docked and Lin Ruhai and his wife couldn't wait to get off the boat.

"Big brother!"

When Jia Min saw Jia She, her eyes were filled with tears, and Jia She sighed.

"Jiangnan is dangerous, my sister has suffered."

Jia She touched Jia Min's head with his hand, and Jia Min couldn't help but start crying.

Until this moment, all the shadows that the couple experienced in Yangzhou have disappeared.

Jia Min could finally let go of the tension in her heart.

"Daiyu, come and meet your uncle!"

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia She curiously.

This is the uncle her mother often mentioned at home.

"Uncle!"

Lin Daiyu bowed to Jia She obediently.

Jia She picked up Daiyu from the ground.

"Daiyu has grown up. When your uncle first saw you, you were still a baby."

"Now when we meet again, you will be able to speak."

Daiyu, who was stabbed by Jia She's beard, pressed her hand against Jia She's face.

"Uncle, Zha!"

Hearing Daiyu's babyish voice, Jia She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min laughed along.

"Let's go home!"

Jia She held Daiyu in his arms and walked in front.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min followed behind until they got into the carriage. Jia She was reluctant to leave Daiyu behind, so he took advantage of the spacious carriage and had the four of them sit in one.

This way they can reminisce about the past.

"Where's Lian'er?"

Jia Min asked Jia She.

"Lian'er is in the palace now, attending school with the prince."

"Prince?"

Jia She nodded.

"Brother, aren't you worried that what happened before will happen again in our family?"

When Jia Min, who was the prince's companion, heard that Jia Lian was in the palace, her face suddenly became serious.

Jia She shook his head at Jia Min.

Lin Ruhai also pulled Jia Min, things were different now.

Lin Ruhai signaled Jia Min not to say anything more.

As for the current situation of this little prince, he is the only child.

The emperor doesn't like to enter the harem.

There has been no childbirth in the harem for many years.

The emperor’s health is not particularly strong, and I’m afraid he will be the only one left in the future.

Jia Min closed her mouth and the carriage moved slowly forward.

Jia She, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai asked many questions about the situation in Yangzhou.

Now that a state-owned enterprise has been built in Yangzhou, the Jiangnan salt merchants who once monopolized the Great Chu have been squeezed out and are now confined to the Huaihe River basin.

The remaining land of Da Chu has been snatched away by merchants from four places.

It has become impossible to make huge profits from salt.

"Ru Hai has worked so hard."

Jia She patted Lin Ruhai on the shoulder. His suggestion was a good one, but the real difficulty lay in its implementation.

Lin Ruhai was able to establish a state-owned enterprise on his own, and the twists and turns he went through are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly at Jia She and shook his head.

"You are too polite, brother. It is all thanks to His Majesty's blessing."

"If His Majesty hadn't sent secret guards to protect the Lin family."

"The Lin family is afraid."

Jia She slapped Lin Ruhai again.

"Brother-in-law, don't think too much. It's a good thing that you can come back."

Jia She interrupted Lin Ruhai's next words and said, "Let the past be the past."

All the efforts will be rewarded, now just look forward.

"Thank you for your concern, brother!"

Lin Ruhai sat down and bowed to Jia She.

Jia She nodded slightly, and the carriage drove into Rong Xi Hall.

After resting for a while, Jia Min wanted to go see Grandmother Jia.

In the letter Jia She wrote to her, he said that Grandmother Jia had suffered a complete stroke.

I wonder what she looks like now.

Jia She took Jia Min, Lin Ruhai and their family of three to see it.

When Jia Zheng heard that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min had arrived, he took the three-year-old Jia Baoyu to guard Jia's grandmother's bedside.

At the age of three, Baoyu already understood many things.

The first person Jia Min and Lin Ruhai saw when they stepped in was Jia Zheng.

"Second brother!"

Jia Min gave Lin Ruhai a neutral salute.

Jia Zheng seemed to be unable to understand and pulled Jia Min and Lin Ruhai together.

"Are your sister and brother-in-law here to see mother?"

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai nodded.

"Ru Hai and I were in Yangzhou. We heard that my mother had another stroke, so we came to see her now that we are back."

Grandmother Jia began to get excited.

Min'er, it was her Min'er who was back.

Unable to move, Jia's mother shed a tear from the corner of her eye.

Jia Min sat down in front of Jia's mother's bed, and Jia's mother began to sob.

While shouting, she pointed at Jia She.

The meaning of her doing this was very simple, which was to tell Jia Min that it was Jia She who harmed her.

Jia Min calmly pressed down Lady Jia's hand.

"Why doesn't mother take good care of herself?"

Grandmother Jia became more and more agitated.

Min'er, it was he who harmed his mother!

He was the one who harmed my mother, you must avenge her!

But she found the wrong person, Jia Min just came to check the situation.

As long as the person is not dead, everything else matters.

Jia Min didn't want to care and was too lazy to care.

"Daiyu!"

Jia Min shouted behind Lin Ruhai.

Daiyu, who walked steadily and insisted on walking on her own, stood up.

"Daiyu, this is the grandmother that mother told you about."

"Come here and show your grandmother!"

Little Daiyu trotted over, and Jia Baoyu's eyes were immediately attracted by Daiyu's smart and lovely appearance.

This sister is so beautiful!

Jia Baoyu stared blankly.

"Bow to your grandmother!"

Lin Daiyu bowed obediently.

"younger sister!"

"younger sister!!"

Jia Baoyu started shouting to attract attention.

Jia Min noticed Jia Baoyu beside Jia Zheng. Now that he no longer had the protection of the jade, he could only act stupid if he wanted to attract people's attention.

Jia Zheng pulled Jia Baoyu somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sister, be tolerant. When Baoyu was young, he was poisoned by the servants."

"Nowadays, I get crazy from time to time."

Jia Min's eyes fell on Jia Baoyu.

She knew this, but the child didn't look silly.

When she was in Yangzhou, she also met several idiots.

This Baoyu and that idiot have absolutely no connection at all.

"Second brother, teach him well."

Jia Min gave Jia Zheng a subtle reminder.

Jia Zheng didn't understand Jia Min's reminder at all. He just felt that Jia Baoyu had embarrassed him.

Jia Zheng slapped Jia Baoyu ferociously.

At this moment, Jia Baoyu no longer looked foolish at all.

The people in the room continued talking tacitly, and Jia Baoyu's eyes were always fixed on Lin Daiyu.

Daiyu, who was over two years old, was a little scared. She stayed in Jia Min's arms and rubbed against Jia Min's arms hard.

Jia Min, noticing something strange, looked at Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu was staring at Daiyu.

That look gives people an indescribable feeling.

He is obviously only three years old, why do I see what a pervert is in his eyes?

Jia Min quickly covered Daiyu with her sleeves, and then gave the servant a look.

"Miss is tired, carry her down!"

The servant understood what Jia Min meant and took little Daiyu from her hands.

Little Daiyu, who was being held in arms, didn't dare to look up, for she was afraid of Jia Baoyu's eyes.

The adults continued to chat, and Jia Baoyu took advantage of everyone's inattention and sneaked out.

It was not known whether it was God's will or something else, but Jia Baoyu, who had just slipped away, ran into Daiyu who was being brought by a servant.

At this time, Daiyu had not left. She was following her maid and playing in a small garden not far from Jia's mother's yard. Seeing Daiyu, Jia Baoyu ran over without hesitation.

"Sister, you are here!"

Jia Baoyu ran to Daiyu excitedly, and Daiyu was frightened instantly.

"Mommy!"

Little Daiyu's face turned pale and she cried out, and the old woman quickly picked her up.

"Why is Master Bao here?"

"When you came out, did you say hello to the Second Master?"

As the old woman asked, she tried to calm little Daiyu down, who was quite frightened.

For some reason, she was afraid of him.

Jia Baoyu told the truth: "No!"

"I came out by myself to play with my sister, put her down now!"

Jia Baoyu began to pull at the old woman's clothes, and a look of displeasure flashed in the old woman's eyes.

"Mammy, please let him go! I'm scared!"

Daiyu began to cry loudly.

Jia Baoyu continued to make a fuss as if he couldn't hear anything, and asked Daiyu to play with him.

The old woman was annoyed by Jia Baoyu's troubles and her face began to become serious.

"Master Bao, please respect yourself!"

"My lady is going back!"

The old woman distanced herself from Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu chased after her relentlessly.

"I'll go back with my sister!"

The old woman frowned, wondering why this child was so difficult.

"You can't accompany me!"

"I'll accompany you, you bully me!"

Jia Baoyu began to cry loudly, and the old woman's face was full of helplessness.

Who is bullying whom here?

The old woman was really about to cry.

Jia Baoyu began to cry, and Daiyu hugged the old woman's neck and looked down.

Seeing Daiyu looking at him, Jia Baoyu became excited again.

"My sister is looking at me. She wants to play with me. Put her down now!"

Jia Baoyu took off the old woman's clothes.

Little Daiyu was frightened and cried again.

The old woman coaxed Daiyu while pulling the carriage for Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu was like a dog-skin plaster and couldn't be pulled open, and the old woman became anxious.

The anxious old woman started to go towards Lady Jia's courtyard.

As soon as they entered, the old woman held Daiyu in her arms and started to complain.

"Can the Second Master take care of Second Master Bao?"

"Master Bao has been pestering my young lady. She was frightened to tears by him."

The old woman put Daiyu down from her arms, and Daiyu went to find Jia Min crying.

"Mom, that man is so scary."

"He kept staring at me, and I was scared!"

Daiyu grabbed Jia Min's clothes and refused to let go. Jia Min hugged the frightened Daiyu and kept coaxing her.

The old woman looked at Jia Zheng with anger on her face.

Jia Zheng, who was accused, was a little confused. He looked down and realized that Jia Baoyu, who had been following him obediently, had run away.

Ran away without a trace.

Jia Zheng started to get anxious when he couldn't find Jia Baoyu.

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai frowned. Isn't Jia Baoyu in this house? How could he be lost?
Jia She asked someone to look for him.

The servants began to search frantically. How could Jia Baoyu, who knew he had made a mistake, be found so easily?

When he saw the servants, he started playing hide-and-seek with the four of them in the house.

Jia Min's face turned dark.

"A good son taken care of by the second brother!"

"When he started staring at my Daiyu, I felt something was wrong."

"Now something has really happened!"

Jia Zheng's face showed some shame.

At this moment, he remembered how Jia Baoyu insisted on eating the rouge on the maid's lips.

Jia Zheng quickly bowed and apologized to Jia Min.

"It was indeed my fault for not taking good care of the child. Please forgive me, sister!"

Jia Min sighed silently.

"Second brother, is that child really stupid?"

Jia Min asked Jia Zheng about the doubts in her heart.

Jia Zheng lowered his head.

"He must be an idiot!"

Apart from being stupid, he really couldn't find a better reason for Jia Baoyu.

Jia Min frowned.

"Second brother should find a good doctor to check Baoyu."

"I don't think this kid is stupid at all. On the contrary, he is very smart."

"We were talking, and he was acting dumb and kept calling his sister to attract attention. He didn't seem stupid at all."

Jia Zheng was slightly startled.

Jia Min continued, "Have you ever seen a real idiot, brother?"

Jia Zheng shook his head dumbly. He had never seen this before.

Among all the nobles in the capital, there is not a single fool.

Even if you are crazy, you won't let others see it easily.

Jia Min took a deep breath.

"I saw a few of them when I was in Yangzhou."

"Fool, idiot, you are so confused and ignorant. Your little son is not a fool at all!"

Jia Min reminded again.

A true idiot can be identified from his eyes.

How is Jia Baoyu stupid at all?

I'm afraid that in some things, he is smarter than ordinary children.

Jia Min guessed right on this point.

Jia Zheng lowered his head in shame.

"Is Zhu'er's wife back?"

Jia Min continued to ask Jia Zheng, she had a good impression of Li Wan.

After knowing that Li Wan had taken the child back to her parents' home, Jia Min has been worried about her.

From the current perspective, it is unlikely that Baoyu will achieve great things, so it would be better to train a grandson directly.

Jia Zheng shook his head at Jia Min again.

"No, she's staying at her parents' home."

"I went to pick her up and was turned down."

Jia Min sighed again.

"Second brother, I'm not saying this, but you and that second sister-in-law really hurt Zhu'er's wife's heart. How long has Zhu'er just passed away?"

"You and your mother are fooling around and throwing a big birthday party for Baoyu?"

Political Commissar Jia raised his head with a wronged look.

"We just don't want to let Baoyu down."

Jia Min couldn't help but sneer.

"If you don't want to wrong Baoyu, then you should wrong Zhu'er and the child in Zhu'er's wife's belly?"

"Then you are just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Our family is full of flatterers and bullies. If you make a big fuss about Baoyu, it means you are giving up your own grandson."

"How will Zhu'er's wife survive then?"

A feeling of guilt flashed through Jia Zheng's mind.

He is indeed sorry for what he did.

Jia Min continued to speak.

"If Zhu'er's wife wants to stay at her parents' home, then she can stay there. But you have to give her parents' home some money every month."

"Otherwise, others will think that our Rongguo Mansion cannot afford to support a daughter-in-law and let outsiders raise her."

While Jia Min was giving Jia Zheng earnest advice, she was also making plans for him.

From what we can see now, Baoyu is not a capable kid at all.

When he grows up, I don’t know what he will do.

Anyway, it's not someone you can rely on.

Jia Zheng agreed reluctantly. The second house was already strapped for cash, so how could it afford to give money to the Li family?

Jia Zheng began to feel uncomfortable.

Jia She took over the conversation.

"My sister advised that Xing had already taken care of the Li family!"

"Brother."

Jia Zheng looked at Jia She in disbelief.

Jia She nodded in silence. If you were to do it, the mother and son would starve to death without even knowing it.

Besides, if he remembered correctly, Jia Lan was a capable man.

Not only did he study hard since childhood, but he also loved his mother very much.

When he read Red Mansions that year, he had a good impression of Jia Lan. He was able to clearly know his goals even in the midst of all the hustle and bustle.

Jia Huan, Jia Baoyu, and many younger generations of the Jia family who are similar to him are not as good as him.

Just for this reason, he is willing to help!
A smile appeared on Jia Min's face.

"Brother is really thoughtful. Zhu'er's wife's father is the chief academic officer of the Imperial College."

"Not only is his status as a noble person among the noble ones, but he is also an open and honest person in his daily life."

"Didn't my second brother value this when he first came to the Li family to ask for marriage?" (End of this chapter)
