Chapter 16 The Red Mansion
Chapter 16 The Red Mansion
[Host, you know where Zhen Yinglian's family is, why didn't you just send her back and ask Lin Ruhai to help find her family? 】
"Xiangling doesn't remember her family at all, and she doesn't even know where her original home is. How can I, who only met once, know where her home is?" Lin Huaiyu answered the system in her heart while reading and studying. "If I know the situation in her family, wouldn't it be too strange, so I have to ask my father to help find it."
[Yes, the host is still considerate. 】The system said, 【However, Zhen Yinglian's father followed the Taoist crazily and left. Her mother died of illness not long after her father left. Her grandfather was not a good person, so he probably didn't want to take her in as a fool.Host, what are you going to do? 】
"It's very simple, let her stay and serve her by her sister's side." Lin Huaiyu thought it was best for her to keep Xiangling by Lin Daiyu's side. "Let her be company with my sister."
[Without Xiangling, do you think Xue Pan would still beat people to death? 】In the original book, Xue Pan beat Feng Yuan to death in order to snatch Xiangling.
"Even if there is no Xiangling, with Xue Pan's temperament, he will still kill people, just wait and see." Lin Huaiyu said firmly, "Without Xiangling, there are other Lings."
[It makes sense. 】
Next, the system didn't bother Lin Huaiyu any more.
Lin Huaiyu continued to practice his handwriting. Under Lin Ruhai's guidance, his handwriting improved rapidly, and it was much better than when he first came to Lin's house.
After buying Xiangling back, Lin Huaiyu stopped paying attention to her.At first, the servants in the mansion thought he bought Xiangling to be his little wife, but he didn't expect him to give Xiangling to Xiaolin Daiyu directly.
Although Xiangling was arranged to serve Xiaolin Daiyu, she was a little girl who had never served anyone before, and she couldn't even do servant work.Jia Min asked Xiao Lin Daiyu's maid to teach her.
On the other side, Jia Lian decided to leave for the capital after living in the Lin family for a month.
Before he left, Jia Min prepared a lot of things for him, and asked him to take back the two maids who served him.
Jia Lian brought a lot of things with him when he came, and he also took a lot of things with him when he left.After he left, Jia Min was visibly disappointed.
"Mother, if you are reluctant to part with your cousin, why don't you keep him for a while longer?"
"Your cousin and your cousin's sister-in-law manage the affairs of Rongguo Mansion. It's not good for him not to return to Rongguo Mansion for a long time." Jia Min didn't want Jia Lian to leave, but her natal family.As soon as Jia Lian left, she missed her family more and more. "I never went back to Jia's house after I married your father."
"Mother, when you recover well, I will accompany you to visit your grandmother and the others." Mother's time is running out, and before she leaves, accompany her back to Jia's house and fulfill her wish, which is also considered him. filial piety.
When Jia Min heard this, his lost mood disappeared immediately, and he said with a happy face: "Okay, I will take care of my body as soon as possible."
Under Lin Huaiyu's comfort, Jia Min quickly cheered up and actively took care of his body every day, getting better every day.
When Jia Lian returned to the capital, it was relatively smooth, and he arrived in the capital in about twelve days.As soon as he came home, he was called by Jia Mu for questioning.
Mother Jia asked him in detail about Jia Min's physical condition and about Lin Huaiyu.
Jia Lian first told Mother Jia about Jia Min's physical condition in detail, "When I left, my aunt's health improved a lot. The doctor said that my aunt will recover in a few months. Don't worry, old lady."
After Jia Min heard this, her uneasy heart was finally relieved.
"That's good, that's good, really blessed by the Buddha."
"Grandfather, I said that my aunt is as lucky as you, and she will be fine. You see, I'm right." Wang Xifeng flattered Jia's mother calmly, "Now, ancestor, you can rest assured Alright."
Mother Jia smiled and said, "I'm at ease, completely at ease." Since Jia Min got married, Jia's mother has been thinking about her all the time. When she learned that she was seriously ill, she was worried that she couldn't eat well or sleep well.
"Old lady, it's thanks to brother Huai that my aunt recovered so quickly this time." Jia Lian took the initiative to say good things about Lin Huaiyu, "Old lady, you don't know how filial brother Huai is to aunt..."
Jia Lian told Jia Mu vividly how he saw Lin Huaiyu getting along with Jia Min at Lin's house.
"Old lady, brother Huai and aunt are like mother and son. Also, brother Huai looks very similar to aunt and uncle, just like the biological sons of aunt and uncle. I see that brother Huai is aunt and uncle. The reincarnation of my uncle's previous son."
"Min'er's letter said the same thing, thanks to God's mercy." Mother Jia asked, "How does Brother Huai look like, and how is his character?"
"Old lady, I'm going to say something you don't like to hear."
When Jia Mu heard what Jia Lian said, she asked doubtfully, "What is it that I don't like to hear?"
"Old lady, before I met Brother Huai, I always thought that Baoyu was the most beautiful child in the world, but after meeting Brother Huai, I found that Baoyu was much inferior."
As soon as Jia Lian said this, it was true that Jia's mother was a little unhappy.In her old man's heart, Baoyu's grandson is the most beautiful child in the world.
Wang Xifeng glared at Jia Lian, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can there be a child who is better than Baoyu in this world?"
"Really, you didn't see Brother Huai. If you saw Brother Huai, you would know what it means to be someone who is beyond others." Of course, Jia Lian noticed that Jia Mu's expression was not very good-looking, but he continued, "Brother Huai is not only good-looking, but also has an outstanding demeanor, and he is also very prudent in dealing with people." Next, he explained in detail how Lin Huaiyu entertained him when he was in the Lin family.
"To put it bluntly, I feel inferior to Brother Huai."
Wang Xifeng and the others were shocked after hearing Jia Lian's words.
When Jia Mu heard Jia Lian talk about Lin Huaiyu at first, she didn't take it seriously, but after she continued to listen, she couldn't help showing a surprised expression on her face.
"Not only that, Brother Huai is also very smart. He can learn what the master taught him as soon as he learned it. Auntie said that Brother Huai might come back as a third-ranked scholar or champion like uncle in the future." With a surprised expression on his face, and a secretly happy and very proud heart at the same time, "I see Brother Huai will definitely inherit my uncle's mantle as an official in the future."
"You put it that way, Brother Huai is much better than Baoyu."
When Mrs. Jia heard what Madam Xing said, she frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Mrs. Wang was not happy either, she just had a cold face.She didn't believe Jia Lian's words at all, she didn't believe that there were better-looking children than Baoyu in this world, and she didn't believe that Lin Huaiyu, who was only six years old, would be so outstanding and capable.
Wang Xifeng pretended to be disbelieving, and looked at Jia Lian suspiciously: "Really, brother Huai is as old as Baoyu, how can he be as capable as you say?"
"I don't believe Brother Huai is as old as Baoyu, but he is very steady at such a young age, not like a six-year-old child." Jia Lian's praise of Lin Huaiyu was not exaggerating, but he really thought Lin Huaiyu was excellent, "Huaiyu Brother Huai also knows the rules and advances and retreats very well, and no one in the Lin Mansion praises him. When you see Brother Huai himself, you will know that what I said is true."
Although Jia's mother was not happy that Jia Lian said that Lin Huaiyu was better than Jia Baoyu, after hearing Jia Lian's words, she couldn't help being curious about this grandson.
"Min'er and the others teach well."
Wang Xifeng followed Jiamu's words and said: "I heard that my aunt was the most educated and reasonable before she got married. Brother Huai knows the rules and etiquette so well. It must be my aunt who taught me well."
Just as Jia Lian was about to say something, Wang Xifeng stopped her with a look.What he wanted to say was that Brother Huai was so good and capable, and he wasn't taught by his aunt and uncle.He also thought that his aunt and uncle taught him well, but his aunt said that they didn't teach Brother Huai anything, because Brother Huai himself was so good.My aunt also said that brother Huai's intelligence and prudence had something to do with his wandering abroad when he was a child.
"My aunt's etiquette is good. It's not because my ancestor taught her well." It's Wang Xifeng who can speak, "In the final analysis, it's because my ancestor taught well. Brother Huai is worthy of being the grandson of my ancestor."
Jia's mother was amused by Wang Xifeng's words: "Yes, Min'er is the most polite when she is at home. Anyone who sees her will not praise her."
"Isn't this what your ancestors taught you?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "When I was young, I heard that my aunt is the best among the noble ladies in the capital."
"That's right, the princess of Nan'an County once praised Min'er for being outstanding." When mentioning her daughter, Jia Mu's face was full of pride.
"Oh, old ancestor, when my daughter grows up, you have to teach her so that she can be as smart and outstanding as my aunt." Wang Xifeng said exaggeratedly, "I only hope that she can be half as good as my aunt. "
Mother Jia said with a smile on her face, "I'm old, but I don't have the energy to teach my children anymore."
"Ancestor, how old are you?" Wang Xifeng said pretending to beg, "Ancestor, when the time comes, show mercy and give me a little help."
Jia Mu pointed at Wang Xifeng and scolded with a smile, "You are relying on me."
"Who told the old ancestor that you are so good at teaching girls?"
"You poor family, hahahaha..."
Wang Xifeng's words completely made Jia's mother happy, and made her laugh from ear to ear.
Jia Lian wanted to talk about Lin Huaiyu again, but was frightened by Wang Xifeng's sharp eyes, so he didn't dare to say any more.After that, he said some things about Jia Min and left.
Wang Xifeng followed Jia Lian back to their own house, "Why do you keep saying Brother Huai is better than that in front of your ancestors, you know that your ancestors won't listen to anyone better than Baoyu?"
"I did it on purpose." Jia Lian leaned on the couch, "I just wanted to let the old lady know that Baoyu is not the only one who is good-looking in this world, and let her know that Baoyu is far behind Brother Huai." Jia Lian just couldn't understand Jia. Mother treated Jia Baoyu like a piece of treasure, making everyone in the house think that Jia Baoyu was the future master of Rongguo Mansion.
"What's the point of you saying that?" Wang Xifeng could understand Jia Lian's motives for doing this, but Jia Baoyu was still young, a child after all, and could not pose a threat to them.
"Of course it makes sense. I just want the old lady to know that Brother Huai is better than Baoyu." Jia Lian said, "Besides, Brother Huai is better than Baoyu. He is as big as Baoyu, but Baoyu is just like him. A three-year-old kid."
"Is it really as good as you say?"
"I can still lie to you." Jia Lian sat up and looked at Wang Xifeng and said, "Before I left, you asked me to get closer to Brother Huai. I didn't care at first, but after seeing Brother Huai, I felt that you Yes."
"So you have a good relationship with Brother Huai?"
"It's not bad. When my aunt recovers, she will definitely bring Brother Huai to the mansion. We will treat him well then."
"Naturally." Sitting next to Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng stretched out his hand and gently pushed him, "Tell me about Auntie and Brother Huai again."
When Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion, he praised Lin Huaiyu fiercely in front of Jia's mother.As soon as Wang'er came back, she also praised Lin Huaiyu in front of the servants of Ningrong and Rongfu. This made Lin Huaiyu become famous in Ningrong and Rongfu before she came to Jia's house.
