Return to the Red Chamber: Jia Min Xiuxian

Chapter 117 Uncovering the Mystery of the Lin Family’s Identity (1)
Sure enough, Daiyu was intelligent and intelligent, and she knew everything. Jia Min just said how to count and remember, and Daiyu got started quickly. The two of them finished dealing with the account books that Jia Min needed to look at in one morning.Even when giving gifts, Daiyu sometimes came up with a few good ideas to solve Jia Min's problems, but Jia Min kept calling Daiyu her treasure.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor was about to seal the pen, and also bestowed blessings on each family, as well as rewards for the New Year.Among them, there is a pair of dragon and phoenix, which was secretly rewarded and not put on the public.When the Lin family saw it, they knew that it was a token from the emperor as a token of the marriage between Yinzhen and Daiyu, and the marriage was now considered a certainty.

Of course, Yinzhen also gave a New Year's gift, after all, it was settled, the two families would be in-laws in the future, and the Lin family would be Yinzhen's father-in-law in the future, the emperor had already admitted.From now on, you can be a serious Yue family.It's just that the marriage was not made public after all, and it was not known to everyone, it was just a normal exchange of courtesy.

On New Year's Eve, the Lin family, as second-rank officials, wanted the whole family to enter the palace for a banquet.The whole family dressed up beamingly, and went to the palace in a carriage.

This was the first time for the children to attend a banquet in the palace, and reliable people were arranged around them to serve them.After all, the palace is no better than other places. Even though the queen mother clearly stated that she would cover it, it is not easy to deal with people who really make trouble.

Although they have always been kind to others, there are always people who can't see it, or people who have a relationship with Concubine De.Anyway, Concubine De was the one they had a grudge against in the palace.So Jia Min guessed that he might "encounter" Jiugege or Brother Fourteen tonight. After all, everyone knew that what happened that day was his fault.They should be holding a grudge.Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.It's easy to solve things with thorough consideration and preparation.

After entering the palace, Jia Min took Daiyu Canyu and the two younger ones to the Queen Mother's Ningshou Palace first, and the other three followed Lin Hai.When we arrived at Ningshou Palace, there were already many wives inside, as well as princesses in the palace. Jia Min first took the children to greet the queen mother, and then just sat down, a lady suggested that the children should go and play by themselves. It's also boring here.The Queen Mother also agreed, but only kept Daiyu and Canyu to tease her.

The lady's eyes flickered, but she didn't speak again.She was originally De Concubine's cousin, and she was destined to marry a ginseng leader, but now she can be regarded as a respected outsider relying on De Concubine's face.

Originally, every time she entered the palace in the past, she would sit with Concubine De for a while to show that she had relatives in the palace and was protected by someone.Seeing this, other wives would also be a little apprehensive.Unexpectedly, Concubine De was grounded because of the Lin family this time.She lost her support, and she was already very dissatisfied with the Lin family.

When he happened to enter the palace, he met Elder Fourteen. Elder Fourteen asked her to find excuses to lure the Lin family's children out after the Lin family entered the palace. He wanted to teach them a lesson and avenge Concubine De.She also had this intention, so after listening to Fourteen's words, and seeing the Lin family coming, she couldn't wait to get the Lin family's children out of the hall, so that Elder Fourteen would have a chance to attack.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother kept the Lin family's children by her side.Even so, there was nothing she could do.After all, she didn't want to get into trouble. If she insisted on letting the Lin family's children go out, it would be a bit of a ulterior motive, and she would show her signs.Once something happens to the Lin family's child, people will inevitably suspect her, and the loss outweighs the gain.Therefore, seeing the queen mother like this, she had no choice but to keep silent.

Everyone chatted for a while, and it was almost time for the banquet.So many people resigned and went to the main hall first. Jia Min wanted to be together, but was left by the Queen Mother to talk.So he continued to stay in Ningshou Palace.

After everyone else had almost left, only the Queen Mother and the Lin family were left in the hall, and the Queen Mother said: "The lady who suggested to let the children go out to play together just now is De Fei's natal cousin, who has been relying on De Concubine for a long time. The concubine is a domineering concubine. This is also a coat, and she seems a bit isolated among the crowd of nobles under her banner. In addition, she also wants to show off that she is a relative of the concubine De. Every time she enters the palace, she will go to the concubine De Sit for a while."

"But Concubine De is grounded this time, so she can only come here as if on pins and needles. I'm afraid she has hated the Lin family in her heart. I'm afraid there was a plot just now, but it was blocked by the Ai family. When we arrive at the Hall of Preservation and Harmony, we will have a banquet You have to be more careful, don't let them count the children."

"Yes, Empress Dowager Xie reminded me. I guessed that she had bad intentions, but I didn't know who she was, so I didn't know the reason. Now I finally know. I also thank the Empress Dowager for protecting me just now. Otherwise, I really said There is no reason to stop and avoid it." Jia Min said cautiously.

"Thank you, as long as you can protect the children. Well, you can't go too late, you can go to the banquet first! The two children will stay with Aijia first. As long as you follow Aijia, no one can How can I get them. Don't worry!"

"Yes, then I will trouble the Queen Mother to take care of them. I will go first." At this moment, Jia Min really regards the Queen Mother as her reliance, protecting them all the time, which is rare.

After Jia Min resigned as the queen mother, she took her maid to the banquet venue alone.On the way, I met Jiu Gege. Jiu Gege was already 13 years old, and it was probably too good that he was protected by Defei. He glanced behind Jia Min and found that there were no figures of Daiyu and Canyu, and his face showed a look of disappointment. .Then he recovered his smiling face and smiled at Jia Min.

"Ms. Lin, I like Ms. Lin very much. I wonder if I can keep her in the palace for a few days. How about staying with me?" Jia Min smiled inwardly after hearing this.If you say you like my girl, even a fool would know that you hate her, right?It looks like they are here to find fault.Still too immature!

"Jiu Gege loves you so much. The slave girl was spoiled and spoiled by us since she was a child. She doesn't know how to serve the master. Let her enter the palace without causing trouble to Jiu Gege. It's unnecessary. The slave is also afraid of her. It's hard to deal with offending a nobleman. Jiugege has so many brothers and sisters in the palace, so she won't lose playmates, so don't let her be a nuisance."

"Jiugege is going to the Hall of Preservation? The banquet should be about to start, so let's go there earlier. The slaves have to go there as soon as possible, it's not good to be late. So I'll take my leave first."

After Jia Min finished speaking, he moved away from Jiugege and went to the Hall of Preserving Harmony.Only Jiugege bit his lip in place, stomped his feet resentfully, turned and left.

When we arrived at the main hall, we saw that Mrs. Zhaojia was already waiting beside her seat.Since the children of the two families became friends, the adults have gradually started to communicate, but not too frequently.Since the last time the two children experienced that incident together, the two families are considered a united front.Walking around is also more frequent.

Jia Min walked over quickly.Before he came to the front, Mrs. Zhaojia said quickly: "Sister Min, where is your family's Daiyu and Canyu? My family's Lan'er has been waiting for a long time, and she is looking forward to her sister Lin coming! And that smelly Boy, I've been clamoring to find Sister Lin."
