The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 68 The Only Lin Ruhai
When the Grand View Garden was being built, there were craftsmen of all kinds, so none of the girls and maids in the mansion came. Now that the Grand View Garden has been completed, people from all over have been added, and all outsiders have left.

Grandmother Jia and her wives, daughters-in-law, maids and old women happily came to visit the Grand View Garden.

Qingwen was in a daze in a pavilion.

She was startled by the noise in the distance and quickly hid. She saw Lin Daiyu in the crowd. After the crowd left, Qingwen suddenly realized that she could ask Miss Lin.

Grandmother Jia got tired after only half of the tour, so everyone gave up immediately.

Lin Daiyu stayed there in a daze.

"Sister Lin, are you still reluctant to leave?" Jia Baoyu came up to her with a smile and coaxed her, "Why don't we stay and stroll around?"

Lin Daiyu hesitated.

Jia Baoyu's mind was on Lin Daiyu, so how could he not guess? He became excited and said, "I'll go tell the old ancestor, and the old ancestor will definitely agree."

Grandmother Jia loved Jia Baoyu the most, so Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not for anything else. That man had a bad temper before. The Jia family has a lot of rules, and I don't know if he has restrained himself. What if he offended someone without knowing it, and was harmed by someone without knowing it.

I heard that he lives in Tuobi Villa, but I don’t know where it is. If I keep walking, I will eventually reach Tuobi Villa.

Xue Baochai was holding a fan.

Just now, Jia Baoyu ran past her and stayed beside Lin Daiyu. Although Xue Baochai only vaguely heard what Jia Baoyu said, she guessed it.

He remembered something and said with a smile: "You only want to play with Sister Lin, but don't understand her frail body. Isn't Sister Lin tired? If you really want to do good for her, you should persuade her to go back. That's the right thing to do."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he immediately slapped his forehead.

"Oh, I really deserve to be beaten, Sister Lin, I'll bring you here to play next time."

A face full of concern.

Lin Daiyu bit her lower lip, her eyebrows were curved as if frowning but not frowning, and her eyes were full of emotion as if happy but not happy. I felt pity for her. On the other side, Xue Baochai had smooth cheeks, eyes like watery apricots, lips that were red without any makeup, eyebrows that were green without any painting. Her appearance was beautiful and dignified, which made people unforgettable at first sight.

"Thank you, Sister Bao."

"Sister Lin, you're too polite."

"You guys are becoming more and more different. It's really funny."

Jia Baoyu laughed.

Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, and the others followed Lady Jia, followed by the senior maids. Li Wan, accompanied by the three young ladies, their first-class maids, and the wet nurses, formed another large group.

Seeing that people had gone far away, several maids stayed to wait for them. Xue Baochai smiled, fanned herself with her slender hands, and slowly turned and left.

Lin Daiyu ignored Jia Baoyu and left with an expression that said no strangers allowed.

Jia Baoyu was left dumbfounded.

"Sister Lin is angry again." Jia Baoyu thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how he had made Sister Lin unhappy.

But after Lin Daiyu returned.

Back in her room, she lay on the couch in a rage, throwing a silk scarf to cover her face, holding her needle upside down, leaning against the embroidered screen, yet she had the lazy beauty of a little girl. Zijuan asked, "Why are you angry again, young lady?"

Xueyan shook her head, "I don't know."

"You followed the girl to the garden, and you didn't know why she was angry?"

Zijuan scolded with a smile.

Xueyan whispered, "It's not just one or two days that the girl has been unhappy, how can you blame me?"

"You know how to eat."

Zijuan was speechless.

Xueyan has been heartless since she was a child. Even though she has grown older, she still doesn't have any worries. Although she doesn't know how to worry, it is a blessing.

"After you entered the garden, did you go to Tuobi Villa?"

"No."

Xueyan shook her head again and said, "The ancestor was tired from walking around, so we only walked halfway and came back."

Zijuan vaguely understood.

Sitting back down beside Lin Daiyu, he whispered, "Mr. Xin is a very important person. Why worry about him, young lady? Take care of yourself first." Lin Daiyu pulled down her silk scarf, revealing her unmade-up face, her complexion as bright as the morning glow reflecting on the snow. She parted her pearly teeth and complained, "You know how he used to give father a lot of headaches when we were in Yangzhou."

Thinking of the time in Yangzhou, Lin Daiyu became angry.

He sat up, leaned forward close to Zijuan, and whispered, "Father told him not to do anything, but he insisted on doing it. Father couldn't do anything about it, so he just had to clean up the mess. In the end, the matter got out of hand, and Father couldn't handle it anymore, so he sent him to the capital. I'm afraid of this capital, because no one can help him."

"Sir, don't you know it yourself?"

Zijuan laughed.

Lin Daiyu sighed.

"How could he not know that? I'm worried that he's too smart. He'll do something even though he knows it shouldn't be done. The rules in the capital are very strict. Even the Jia family, with such a prestigious reputation, wouldn't dare make even a single mistake, let alone him."

Zijuan knew that her daughter was smart.

My daughter can understand many things, but she is just too lazy to argue about them.

Thinking of Wang Xin, Zijuan couldn't help but worry.

"Sister Lin."

I hear the voice before I see the person.

"It's so annoying."

Hearing the noise outside, Lin Daiyu looked annoyed, pouted, lay down again, and pulled the scarf back to cover her face.

Zijuan quickly stood up and walked to the door to block Jia Baoyu.

"Second Master, my daughter has already fallen asleep."

"She was fine just now, why did she fall asleep again?" Jia Baoyu said worriedly, "Sister Lin sleeps all day and can't sleep at night. Don't let her get sick from sleeping. Let me in quickly and tell Sister Lin to get up and play for a while."

Zijuan was speechless.

There are too many people coming and going in the Jia Mansion these days.

Not only people from the palace, but also people from the Prince's Mansion came, not to mention the nobles from various families. Wang Xin didn't know about the deal and had been waiting, also trying to avoid the limelight.

at last.

Someone came to invite Wang Xin.

Wang Xin followed the housekeeper to a side hall, which was Jia She's outer study.

"The eldest and second masters will be here soon, please wait for a moment, Master Xin."

The butler gave instructions.

He then ordered someone to serve tea and left immediately, with great dignity, like a seventh-rank official sitting in front of the prime minister.

Wang Xin didn't care.

I originally thought I was going to meet Jia Zheng, but I didn't expect Jia She to come too, and he even sent his steward Shan Daliang to invite me. It seems that today's meeting is mainly Jia She, with Jia Zheng as the assistant. Things are more troublesome than I imagined.

The Jia family is the founding noble family of the four great princes and eight dukes, and they are the banner representatives among the nobles. Even after several generations, the Jia family has lost real power, but they are still well-informed and have huge interpersonal relationships, which are incomparable to others.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

The same is true.

Only by understanding the situation clearly and identifying the right path can we be invincible.

Others even lost their lives fighting against the Japanese invaders.

The reason he was able to fight against the Japanese invaders and get promoted was not only because of Lin Ruhai's care, but also because he understood the wickedness of human nature and knew that he needed to win over more people. In fact, getting Lin Ruhai's care was also his own choice.

Leaning against the big tree is good for the coolness.

When he arrived in the capital, the Jia family was considered a big tree. Of course, the target had to be Jia Zheng, and he would only cooperate with him if he respected him.

But if it was Jia She.

Wang Xin took a sip of tea.

The allies you choose may have weaker abilities, but they must have a positive attitude. Otherwise, it is better to stay away from them, as they will cause trouble.
