The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 48
Lin Ruhai didn't stay at Jia's house for long, and he said goodbye to Jia's house the next night and went back to Lin's residence.Just before leaving, she took Daiyu and told her carefully, "Your grandmother's house has rules, so you should be careful in everything." Then she told the four maids to take good care of the girl. Daiyu nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, daddy. You won’t lose face to our Xilinjuelin family.” Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, “Why would Daddy worry about this? Your mother also told you that Jia’s family is no better than ours. Daddy really doesn't want you to stay here longer because of the wife's affection." Daiyu understood her father's painstaking efforts and worries, she took Lin Ruhai's hand and smiled playfully, "Daddy, Yu'er has grown up and will take care of herself."

Lin Ruhai smiled, didn't he?His precious daughter has been carefully cared for for so many years, and in a blink of an eye she is about to leave the cabinet.Nodding his head, Lin Ruhai thought in his heart that he should have a chat with his default good son-in-law.After seeing off Lin Ruhai, Daiyu returned to Jia Mu with her four maids and a new parrot.

Mother Jia ordered someone to build a small courtyard for Daiyu alone beside Sanchun's courtyard. All the furnishings in the courtyard were arranged by Sister Feng herself. It can be seen that a lot of thought has been spent.Daiyu didn't live in Jia's house for a long time, so she wasn't too picky about where she lived. She just asked Moran to bring someone back to resettle her and settled down.

As soon as Baochai returned to Lixiangyuan, where she was temporarily staying with Aunt Xue, Brother Parrot accompanied Daiyu and Moran came over to give gifts.Baochai quickly invited people in, and Moran said with a smile: "We Gege said that we didn't know that Miss Xue and Mrs. Xue were also in the house, so we were not well prepared. Please forgive me." I offered the gift box in my hand , and the gift box in Parrot's hand.Baochai thanked Mo Lan repeatedly, and asked Mo Lan to sit down and drink tea, but Mo Lan just declined and said, "Ge Ge hasn't settled down yet, so I have to thank Miss Xue, and I'm leaving here." Back in the room, Aunt Xue was opening the gift box Daiyu sent, and she said, "The Lin family has prepared well. I think the old lady is very happy today." Seeing the things in the box, Aunt Xue couldn't help being surprised With a cry of surprise, Daiyu ordered someone to bring over two sets of head and face jewelry, both of which were high-quality goods from Diancui Pavilion in the capital.And the ones given to Sister Sanchunfeng and others today are the same.Even Aunt Xue, a family of royal merchants like the Xue family, was reluctant to buy so many Cuige jewelry as gifts.That is many times more expensive than ordinary gold, silver and jewelry.

Baochai sat down, caressing the gestures of emeralds inlaid with gold and peonies and said: "I usually hear the old lady talk about Miss Lin, but seeing her today is really extraordinary." Before she heard about Daiyu from the Lin family, I always think that even though Daiyu has some talent, she is just a young lady raised in a deep boudoir who knows nothing about the world. Jia Min passed away early and the Lin family was spoiled and spoiled, so she must know nothing.But when I saw her today, Daiyu was not inferior to her in speech and deeds, she couldn't help putting away her contempt, "No one else can compare to my Bao'er. Your aunt doesn't like this girl very much. "Aunt Xue said.Baochai shook her head slightly and said, "Madam naturally says her daughter is good. We don't care what Auntie does, but our family must not offend Sister Lin."

Aunt Xue frowned and said: "Our family has been an imperial merchant for generations, are you afraid that they will fail?"

Baochai shook her head and said, "Xilinjueluo's family is from the inlaid yellow banner, and this sister Lin is a noble daughter of the upper three banners. I'm afraid that the matter of her daughter's entry into the palace will fall on Miss Lin."

"This..." Aunt Xue hesitated a little. The Xue family is an imperial merchant. Although they are wealthy, they are Han Chinese. In fact, they are not eligible for the draft, not even for the small election once a year.The purpose of staying in the capital for the past six months is to act as an identity for my daughter.Her own daughter's appearance and talent are all the top choices, she is a bit better than Yuan Chun, who is now in the womb of the crown prince, so why can't she enter the palace to seek that overwhelming wealth? "Didn't we talk about Master Jiu before..." Brother Jiu Yinzhen likes to do business, and most of his disciples are businessmen. As long as they join Master Jiu, they don't have to worry about not having the status of a draft pick.Baochai frowned and said, "Jiuye is certainly an excellent backer...but we can't offend Sister Lin." Although it is not impossible to follow Jiuye's path, but once on Jiuye's boat, the entire Xue family will be in danger. Tied up with Brother Nine.Seeing that the prince is still honored and favored, Baochai is still a little hesitant.The eighth and ninth masters don't look like the same people as His Royal Highness.

Aunt Xue is not the kind of person who is good at planning, and she also knew that although Baochai is a woman who is smart and smart, she is not a weak man, so she nodded and said: "Just listen to Baoer. Now the old lady treats Miss Lin as a heartache." Now, let’s not offend her.” Baochai nodded, and after thinking for a while, she was still a little uneasy and said: “My wife must tell my brother not to offend my sister Lin. Otherwise, I’m afraid No one can save him." Baochai already knew what kind of virtue her elder brother was, and he was a master who could even forget his own life when he saw the color.Looking at the way Uncle Lin doted on his daughter today, if his elder brother offends Sister Lin because he doesn't have eyes, he will die for a long time if he doesn't die.In fact, Baochai doubted whether it was a good idea to bring her brother into the capital.Walking on the street in this capital city, you can bump into a few noble people, and my brother's temperament of playing with cats and dogs will cause big troubles at any time.

Aunt Xue responded, but she didn't think so in her heart.I only know that Daiyu is a relative of Jia's family after all, and everyone lives in Jia's Lin's family, even if they don't give them face, they should give Jia's face a little.Looking at Aunt Xue's appearance, Baochai knew that she might not have listened to her, and wanted to persuade her again but could only sigh softly in the end.Thinking of Lin Ruhai's love for Daiyu, I couldn't help feeling a little envious.My brother is reckless and useless, and my mother will not do anything but spoil my brother blindly. If my father is still there, why do I need to worry about these things?
"Sister, madam hasn't rested yet?" Xue Pan walked in from the outside, smelling of alcohol.Baochai frowned displeasedly and said, "Brother has gone out to mess with people again?" Although Xue Pan was a rascal, he had always been a little afraid of this younger sister, so he quickly apologized and said, "It's just a business matter, to accompany a few friends Have you had a few drinks? Eh... This is a good thing from Diancui Pavilion? Where did my sister get it?" Aunt Xue quickly pulled him to sit down and said, "Don't be angry with your sister anymore. This is the eldest daughter of the Lin family today. It was sent by someone." Seeing Baochai's expression was not good, Xue Pan smiled and said, "My sister likes it, I'll go to Cui Pavilion tomorrow and buy a few for my sister." Baochai looked at Xue Pan looking like a playboy. , I couldn't beat it out, and finally just walked away angrily.Xue Pan and Aunt Xue were left looking at each other.It took Xue Pan a long time to mutter: "Since coming to the capital, my sister's temper has become more and more weird."
