Chapter 111 Daiyu Goes to Beijing
The aunt of the Jia family in the Lin family went, and the two uncles and brothers in the capital sent people to express their condolences.The eldest son is the second son and Princess Huairou; the second uncle and Zhu'er are not officials, but they only sent a few wives to live with the eldest son.
Lin Ruhai also became cold-hearted when the second uncle acted like this, and he didn't see the second servant's servant, so he only accepted the gift and sent him away.
Jia Lian and his wife arranged in a guest courtyard facing the street, and opened the other side door to go in and out.In the guest courtyard, there is another large corridor leading directly to the inner courtyard, which is convenient for Princess Huairou to meet Daiyu.When the two met, they both said that this place was very satisfying, and there was a daughter-in-law sent by Daiyu. They laughed and said that the eldest lady chose it herself, and ordered people to clean the courtyard and add decorations.Seeing the tasteful and elegant furnishings in the room, the two couldn't help but praise Daiyu.
Jia Lian is a lively person, Princess Huairou looks gentle and amiable, but her methods are very sharp.Not long after, under the command of the couple, the servants of the Lin Mansion ordered and prohibited everything, and everything was in order.It can be seen from this that Huairou is exquisite in all aspects, and her housekeeping ability is no less than that of Wang Xifeng.
With Jia Lian and his wife joining in, Jia Min's funeral was held in a decent way, and all officials, big and small, from the Jiangnan officialdom came.Especially those wives and wives, in order to have a word or two with the princess, it was a fight of the scalp.And Daiyu was comforted by the female elders, the depression in her heart dissipated a lot, and she became closer to Huairou.
The successive deaths of his son and his wife dealt a huge blow to Lin Ruhai.There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the biggest one is having no heirs. The Lin family has been passed down for several generations, but when they come to him, they have lost their incense. Lin Ruhai only feels ashamed to see his ancestors.It's just that he is over half a hundred years old, even if he marries a wife, it's hard to have children, so it's better to use his crippled body to seek justice for his dead son.
A letter from the uncle woke him up.
The dead are gone, but the living are still alive.He only cared about following his wife and children, but where did he leave Yu'er?He lost his wife and children, didn't Yu'er also lose his mother and brother?If even he forgets Yu'er, who else in this world can Yu'er rely on?
Lin Ruhai had a different opinion about Jia's amnesty letter urging him to adopt a step-child.After all, Yu'er is her own flesh and blood, and Lin Ruhai wished she could leave all of the Lin family's things to her; moreover, Yu'er was definitely going to Beijing, and she didn't have time to cultivate a relationship with her adoptive brother, so naturally she couldn't rely on her.
Instead of adopting, Lin Ruhai thought, it would be better for her daughter to recruit a husband.What makes Lin Ruhai difficult is: he despises men without skills; he disdains to marry men with skills.After being in trouble for a long time, Lin Ruhai finally figured it out after Jia Min's coffin entered the Lin family's ancestor's grave.
Before the end of winter, Jia Min's coffin had been buried in the ancestral tomb of the Lin family in Gusu, and Jia Lian asked Lin Ruhai to resign.Lin Ruhai was very reluctant, but knew that the couple had already delayed a lot of time waiting for their daughter to recover, and they still had to return to Beijing for the New Year, so they didn't stop her.
Daiyu's body was recovering, and she couldn't bear to abandon her father; Lin Ruhai said: "Your father is over fifty years old, and he has no intention of following his wife. I only have you as my daughter in my life, and I only hope that your life will be smooth. But after all, I am Man, there is no one in the family who can teach you. Your aunt is the wife of the Duke, and she intends to pick you up to Beijing. She will be attached to your uncle's house and accompany you with your sisters. Why don't you go?"
After Daiyu heard this, Fang shed tears and said goodbye. Just like in the original book, she only brought an old mother and a maidservant of similar age, Xueyan, and left with Jia Lian, Princess Huairou and a large group of Rongfu servants.
Besides, when she heard that Daiyu was going to Beijing, Jia Hu was very surprised. Without Jia Mu, Lin Daiyu would still go to Beijing?I don't know what kind of mentality it was, but before the people arrived, Jia Hu deliberately proposed to let Jia Zheng's family enter the mansion so that Daiyu could visit her second uncle.
Jia Amnesty glanced at him inexplicably, but refused.Seeing his embarrassment, Mrs. Liu smoothed things over and said: "Her second uncle came to the door, I was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, and she would have to anger Miss Dai. Even if Miss Dai knew about it, she would feel uneasy when the working elders left. Turn around and leave me alone." Just take Daiyu to visit her second uncle."
Why is it uncomfortable for Jia Zheng to come to the door?Don't you just feel that the Rong Mansion is putting on a show?Thinking about it this way, Jia Amnesty felt very comfortable, and he didn't care about the rules, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, after they come back, they will invite the Ning Mansion and Ying'er's family, and then invite the second brother's family, and just say that everyone will have a good time before the New Year." Le, by the way, take the wind to my niece."
And when Jia Lian helped Huairou get out of the carriage with a cautious face, everyone knew that the reception banquet would have to be done, because Huairou was pregnant with Rongfu's first grandchild!
The whole Rong Mansion was immersed in a joyous atmosphere, it was fine for Huairou to be greeted by her husband, her father-in-law, mother-in-law and uncle all looked at her lovingly, even reluctant to serve a meal, Huairou felt overwhelmed by flattery.
However, the Rong Mansion did not ignore Lin's sister who was visiting for the first time and was going to stay for a long time.Because of Daiyu's filial piety, the Liu family decided to give Shang Hexuan to Daiyu.Shanghexuan, like Lixiangyuan, is a quiet place with about ten small houses.However, Lixiangyuan is the resting place of Jia Hu's grandfather in his later years. Jia Hu used to study here with his grandfather, but now no one lives there, and only asks people to clean it from time to time.Only when Jia Hu missed his grandfather, he would stay there for a few days.
In addition to being inconvenient to go outside, Shanghexuan is more suitable for Daiyu to live in than Lixiangyuan, because it is very compact and built not far from a lotus pond.Daiyu, who saw the remnants of the lotus, rejoiced in her heart and said, "Leave the remnants of the lotus to listen to the sound of rain".
Huairou heard this, and she said: "What's the meaning of the sound of the rain in the lotus, it's so lonely and desolate. According to me, when summer comes, look at the 'The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are red' , This is interesting. When the lotus pod grows, we will also be a lotus picking girl, and feel that "the south of the Yangtze River can pick lotus, and the lotus leaves are in the fields." Everyone who heard it was yearning for it.
Daiyu also laughed, "What's the problem? How about I swim with my sister-in-law?"
A loud laugh came from the side of the Qiahe pond, and two figures flashed past. It turned out that it was Jia Hu who came with Zhou Su.
When Daiyu saw a strange man, she wondered, this man is so rude, why is his wife still there, acting so abruptly?
Goodbye, Princess Huairou greeted him immediately, and called the strange man "Ninth Uncle", and Jia Hu introduced him with a smile, and Daiyu knew that he was the current Ninth Brother, Prince Zhongshun.Daiyu was terrified immediately, she didn't expect Prince Zhongshun to treat others very kindly, he only said that he was his relative.
What makes Daiyu feel strange is that, in terms of relatives, the princess is obviously the prince's niece, she is of the same generation as the princess, and the prince should call her a niece.It's just that the prince has one sister, but he has acquaintance with her in the same generation.
Zhou Su didn't have any other intentions when he came here, but he heard that a girl from a relative's family had come to Rongfu, and Jia Hu praised her beyond words, and he was very dissatisfied.When he saw Daiyu, Zhou Su was astonished as a man of heaven. When he heard that Daiyu was familiar with the Four Books, he even asked someone to give a very precious Duan inkstone as a gift. You, sister Lin, are all well-read poets and books, but you make me, an ignorant and ignorant student, feel ashamed."
When Daiyu heard this, she seemed to realize something; she also saw that the prince quietly grabbed the hand of the elder cousin. Although the elder cousin gave him a look, he didn't intend to break free.Thinking about the year when the eldest cousin was born and had not yet married a wife, Fang suddenly realized.
When the two slender figures were gone, Jia Hu shook their intertwined hands with a smile that was not a smile, and looked at him: "Declaration of sovereignty?"
Satisfied, Zhou Suzhi said brazenly: "Where! It's obvious that she was asked to visit her cousin-in-law."
Jia Hu loves his smug little appearance very much, whether it is a cousin-in-law or a cousin-in-law, Jia Hu does not argue with him, but decides to "correct" the mistake of this title with practical actions later.
Because Daiyu is still in the [-]-day hot filial piety, and the New Year is coming soon, and the princess is tired from the journey, the fetal image is unstable, and Mrs. Liu is busy going around, so she discusses with Jia She. After that, we will have a family dinner.
Jia Amnesty readily agreed.He was still thinking about the well-formed boy that Wang Xifeng had aborted back then. Now that the princess is pregnant, Jia She is so happy that he doesn't even go to Liulichang, his favorite place, talking all day long about what to prepare for his grandchildren.I don't know, I thought he was the father.
This year, the Rong Mansion celebrated with great joy, the young lady of Gai Yinrong Manor was pregnant, and even the emperor and queen in the palace gave congratulatory gifts upon hearing the news.It's just that the more lively the Rong Mansion is, the more bleak it is for Daiyu to be alone in Shanghexuan, tossing and turning every night, making it difficult to fall asleep.A first-class maidservant who used to be by Liu's side, after being given to Daiyu, she still changed her name to Zijuan. This day I saw Daiyu sitting sideways in front of the moon hole window, looking at the festive red outside in a daze, as if she was creamy. There were still tears on his face, he sighed secretly, and stepped forward to explain.
