The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

When the few people walked outside the living room, they saw Cherry wearing a purple-red jacket came out to welcome them, bowing down to salute the three of them, "My servant greets my nephew, young mistress, and aunt."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Sister Cherry, the meeting was too hasty yesterday, I forgot to tell you, your brother has been promoted to the manager of the perfume shop."

Cherry said happily: "My servant thanked my nephew and young master on behalf of my elder brother."

"It should be me thanking you and Sister Shiliu, thank you for taking care of my aunt."

At this time, Shiliu greeted her from the room and said with a smile: "Master nephew, madam invites you in."

"Thank you!"

Lin Yun walked into the house and saw Jia Min and Daiyu sitting side by side on the heated kang, talking to Lin Zhixiao's family who came to greet Jia Min.

When everyone met, they all bowed and greeted each other. They were busy for a long time before they calmed down.

Daiyu pulled Qin Keqing and Liu Rushi to sit on the kang, and said to Lin Yun: "Brother, can you let sister-in-law and sister Liu go to Rongguo Mansion with us?"

Lin Yun resolutely refused: "No, my aunt and ancestor reunited after a long absence, and they must have a lot to say, so it's inconvenient for your sister-in-law and the others to bother."

Daiyu was dissatisfied and retorted: "Sister-in-law and elder sister Rushi can play with the sisters."

Lin Yun thought: "You damn girl, aren't you trying to trick me?"

Jia Min quickly rescued Lin Yun: "Yu'er, you sisters are used to joking around with Baoyu, it's really inconvenient for your sister-in-law and Miss Liu to go there."

When Qin Keqing heard Jia Min speak, she declined to Daiyu and said, "Sister, I've been feeling a little unwell these past two days, so I won't go with you."

Daiyu became anxious when she heard this, she quickly waved to Zhenzhu and said, "Zhuzhu, come quickly and see for sister-in-law, is she catching a cold?"

Pearl thought: "They are just looking for excuses to refuse. There is really something wrong with me."

However, in order to cover up for Qin Keqing, she still sat on the heated kang and took Qin Keqing's pulse seriously.

Just when Lin Yunzheng thought it was funny, he saw Pearl smiling at him and saying, "Third Master, grandma seems to be happy."

Qin Keqing smiled like a flower when he heard this, while Lin Yun looked confused. He is only fourteen this year, is he going to be a father?

The room suddenly became lively again, and Jia Min asked Zhenzhu nervously: "Miss Zhenzhu, is she really happy?"

Pearl smiled confidently: "It can't be wrong. I have checked the pulse for others countless times, and I have never made a mistake."

Daiyu grabbed Qin Keqing's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, congratulations!"

"Thank you sister."

Jia Min said to Lin Yun: "Yun'er, since Ke'er is pregnant, you can stay with her."

Qin Keqing hurriedly said: "Auntie, I'm fine, let my husband accompany you."

Liu Rushi: "Auntie, it's fine to have a concubine accompanying my sister."

Lin Yun: "Zhenzhu, you stay and take care of my wife. We will try to leave as early as possible and come back as early as possible."

Pearl hurriedly said, "Okay."

...

At about two quarters in the morning, Lin Yun escorted Jia Min's mother and daughter to the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, and saw Jia Lian waiting here with a few servants.

Lin Yun got off his horse in front of the Xijiao Gate, stepped forward to Jia Lian, cupped his hands and smiled, "It's so cold, my second brother Lao Lian has been waiting for a long time."

Jia Lian cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "I just heard that Lin Zhixiao's family sent someone back to report that my brother and sister are happy. Congratulations."

Lin Yun happily said: "Thank you!"

At this time, Jia Lian saw Jia Min's sedan being carried over. He quickly stepped forward to salute and said, "My nephew, please give my regards to my aunt."

Jia Min opened the sedan chair curtain and asked Jia Lian, "Is the old lady in good health?"

Jia Lian: "The old lady is in good health. She is waiting to meet her aunt inside."

"Are the sister-in-laws all right?"

"Uh~"

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, but still bit the bullet and replied: "My wife is ill, the master sent someone to the Guanyin Temple to invite Master Miaoyu to chant scriptures for my wife."

"Oh!"

Jia Min thought for a while and said, "Lian'er, let Lin Zhixiao's family send Yu'er to see the old lady, and then accompany me and Yun'er to visit my sister-in-law."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Aunt, it's better for my nephew to accompany my sister to meet the ancestors."

Jia Min smiled and asked, "Do you think it's appropriate for my aunt to go there alone?"

Lin Yun said in his heart: "If you want me to say, it is most appropriate for everyone not to meet."

Under Jia Min's pressure, Lin Yun could only accompany her with a grimace to Rongxi Hall, the residence of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

This is Lin Yun's first visit here. Compared with the extravagance and luxury of Jia's mother, the furnishings of Rongxi Hall are much simpler. The furniture in the room are all half-old things, which shows that Jia Zheng has a low-key and restrained personality.

When everyone came outside Mrs. Wang's bedroom, they heard a sound of banging wooden fish and a woman chanting scriptures, but no one was seen outside to greet her.

Just as Jia Lian was about to go in to communicate, Jia Min raised his hand to stop him, motioning everyone to stand in the corridor and wait.

When Lin Yun saw this, he secretly agreed in his heart. Just because of this silent and secret contest, Jia Min and Mrs. Wang's wisdom is superior to the judgment, and the women of the Wang family are far behind.

...

After about half a stick of incense, the sound of women chanting scriptures and knocking on wooden fish finally stopped.

A moment later, Zhou Rui's family members were seen coming out of the bedroom accompanied by a cold girl in a moon-white monk's robe and long hair draped over her shoulders.

As if he had just discovered Jia Min's arrival, Zhou Rui's family showed a look of surprise, and quickly walked up to him, and saluted Jia Min: "Grandma, when did you come here?"

Jia Min smiled and said, "Not long ago."

Zhou Rui's family raised his hand and patted his face lightly, and blamed himself: "Look at me, I'm so blind and deaf, I didn't even notice that my aunt is here, damn it!"

Jia Min asked directly: "Sister-in-law Zhou, is my second sister-in-law okay with her health?"

"My wife can't sleep lately and often has nightmares at night. No, my master specially sent someone to Guanyin Temple to invite Master Miaoyu to chant sutras to exorcise my wife."

When Zhou Rui's family member said this, he gave Lin Yun an evil look, which seemed to mean that this was the evil spirit that made his wife unable to sleep well.

Jia Min glanced at the bedroom and said softly: "In that case, I won't disturb my sister-in-law's rest. Lian'er, Yun'er, let's go."

Lin Yun pointed and praised in his heart, Jia Min's work is crisp, generous, and has a personality, which is too much for his temper.

Seeing Jia Min and the others leave, Zhou Rui's family was stunned. This plot is wrong, shouldn't the aunt go in and kowtow to his wife to accompany the crime?

Chapter 251: Staying in Beijing Hou Que

In the bedroom, Jia Min sat down on the kang next to Jia's mother, and said with a guilty face: "My husband asked my daughter to accompany the mother on his behalf. This impeachment of Mr. Wang's uncle has made you very embarrassed."

Jia Mu: "At first, my mother complained about your husband in her heart, but then she calmed down and thought about it. Our uncle has always had this temper. The reason why your father chose him to be your husband was also because of him. This advantage.”

paused.Jia Mu said again: "Min'er, does Your Majesty have any arrangements for your husband when you return to Beijing this time?"

Jia Min said with a dull expression: "Your Majesty let the husband rest for a while. Last night, the husband and his daughter discussed it and are going to take Yu'er back to Suzhou's hometown."

When Jia Mu heard the words, she said anxiously: "How can this make it so? Once my uncle leaves the capital, the chances of recovering will be much less. Even if there is a vacancy in the future, His Majesty may not think of him."

Jia Min said depressedly: "My husband always cherishes his feathers, and he is worried that if he stays in the capital, he will be criticized by others, saying that he is greedy for officialdom and stays in Beijing to be martyrdom."

"Being an official is too thin-skinned. Now that Brother Yun's daughter-in-law is pregnant, you just have an excuse to stay."

"This may not be possible. I saw that my husband spoke very firmly last night, and I'm afraid my daughter can't stop him."

Mother Jia thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ask Brother Yun to help you think of a way?"

"Yun'er? What can he do?"

"Don't underestimate Brother Yun. That little guy has a lot of evil ideas. The last time my uncle impeached my uncle, my mother was very passive in the house. It was he who helped me that allowed me to Turn the situation around."

Next, Mother Jia wrote Lin Yun to Jia Zheng, begging for a servant, and introduced it to Jia Min in detail.

After hearing this, Jia Min also nodded secretly. This method of breaking the game is so ingenious that even she can't compare it to herself.

Mother Jia: "Has Brother Yun gone back?"

"Before he left, Lian'er took him to drink and celebrate."

Jia's mother called Yuanyang in, and asked her to go to Jia Lian's room and call Lin Yun back to answer.

...

After a while, Lin Yun walked in with Yuanyang.

After waiting for him to salute, Mother Jia asked with a smile, "Since you're here, why didn't you come to see me, but you're angry that I didn't stop your aunt to make things difficult for you and Yu'er?"

"Yun'er doesn't dare."

Jia Min changed the subject and said, "Yun'er, do you have a way to let your uncle stay in the capital?"

Lin Yun asked suspiciously: "Auntie wants uncle to stay in the capital to fill in the vacancies?"

Jia Min nodded and said: "Yes, do you have any good ideas that can make your uncle stay without damaging his face?"

Lin Yun thought for a while and said, "There is a way, but I don't know if uncle is willing."

Jia's mother hurriedly asked, "What's the best plan?"

"You can let uncle go to Yichen Academy to be a lecturer, so that he can stay without losing face."

Jia Mu said cheerfully: "What a great idea. Brother Yun is indeed smart."

Jia Min also smiled and said, "Don't bother the two masters with one thing, this task will be entrusted to you."

"My nephew respects my life."

Lin Yun didn't want Lin Ruhai to leave either, since Jia Min and his purpose were the same, it would be much easier to handle.

...

After Lin Yun left, Mother Jia smiled at her daughter: "Brother Yun is really a good kid. During the days when you are not in the capital, he not only takes good care of Yu'er, but also creates a world by himself, which is really amazing."

Jia Min said with regret: "It's a pity that my daughter can't accept him as a stepson, otherwise it would be perfect."

Mother Jia advised: "Be more open-minded. There is nothing perfect in this world. It's not a bad thing to have some regrets. Besides, when Brother Yun has more children in the future, you can discuss with him to adopt one to inherit." My uncle’s incense.”

Jia Min nodded. She had thought about this too, but she hadn't discussed it with her husband yet.

...

Here, when Yuanyang sent Lin Yun out, he handed him an oil-paper umbrella and said with a smile: "My congratulations to my young nephew, I wish you a son soon."
