[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

Chapter 8 The Red Mansion

In the capital, Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia received a letter from Jia Min.

At this time, Yuanyang was reading a letter to Jiamu.Mrs. Wang, Xing Shi, You Shi, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing and other sons and grandsons were all there.

Mother Jia wiped her tears with a handkerchief while listening.

Mrs. Wang, Youshi and the others pretended to wipe their tears with handkerchiefs, only Wang Xifeng did not cry.

Wang Xifeng has always liked to flatter Jia's mother and make her happy. When she saw her crying, she quickly joked: "There is no wind and sand in this house. How come everyone is blinded by the wind and sand? Hurry up and call the doctor." Take a look?" As she spoke, her expression and tone became exaggerated, "A lot of wind and sand got into my ancestor's eyes, hurry up and get eye ointment for my ancestor."

Jia's mother was amused by Wang Xifeng's words, and she couldn't help laughing softly: "Who are you talking about getting sand in their eyes?"

The originally sad atmosphere in the room was suddenly broken by Wang Xifeng's joke.

"Old Ancestor, Auntie wrote this letter to make you happy, but you started to cry." After making Jiamu laugh, Wang Xifeng continued to comfort her and said, "If Auntie finds out, she will definitely blame herself."

Following Wang Xifeng's words, You Shi said: "Old Ancestor, Miss Feng is right, Auntie wrote you a letter to give you good news, you should be happy."

Neither Mrs. Xing nor Mrs. Wang could speak, they could only nod in agreement with Mrs. You and Wang Xifeng.

Qin Keqing continued her mother-in-law Youshi's words: "Ancestor, your aunt's condition has improved, you should rest assured."

Li Wan went on to say: "When people have happy events, they are in good spirits. This is a happy event for my aunt. I believe that my aunt will recover completely in a short time. Maybe my aunt will come to the capital to visit my ancestors at that time."

Mother Jia was persuaded and comforted by her son, daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law, and the sadness in her heart dissipated a lot.

"I'm not sad, I just feel sorry for Min'er. Many years ago, Ming'er passed away, and Min'er felt bad. At the end of last year, Min'er lost another son, which made her sick. I really worried about her This time I couldn't make it through, fortunately my uncle went to the Lin clan to choose a child to adopt for Min'er, I didn't expect this child to be the reincarnation of Brother Ming, thank God."

"Old Ancestor, it is God who loves Auntie so much that Brother Ming was reincarnated and returned to Auntie." Wang Xifeng continued, "Auntie is as blessed as Auntie, otherwise how could you be pitied by God."

She said this right into the heart of Mother Jia, "Min'er is the most like me."

"My aunt is the most like you. My aunt will live a long and healthy life like you in the future, and have a lot of children and grandchildren." Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "In a few years, your ancestor will have a grandson and daughter-in-law."

What she said made Jia's mother happy, and she said with a smile on her face: "Then I will live a few more years and wait for my grandson-in-law."

"Grandfather, you live a long life, and you will definitely be able to wait for your grandson and grandson-in-law to kowtow to you." Wang Xifeng is very good at pleasing Jia's mother, and immediately changed the subject, "Grandfather, my aunt needs to take good care of her body. Do you want to send some good medicinal materials and supplements to Auntie?"

When Mother Jia heard what Wang Xifeng said, she immediately smiled and said, "Madam Feng is more thoughtful, so send some good herbs and supplements to Min'er."

"Old Ancestor, do you want to send some more things to Brother Huai? After all, Brother Huai is your grandson now?"

You Shi echoed Wang Xifeng's words and said: "Old Ancestor, this is a great happy event, we should send something to congratulate Auntie."

Jia Mu smiled and nodded, "It's natural."

Wang Xifeng thought quickly, and immediately came up with another idea.

"Old Ancestor, it's always worrying to send medicinal materials and supplements to the official. Why don't you let Second Master Lian bring someone to deliver them to Auntie in person, just to let him visit Auntie instead of you. What do you think?" Wang Xifeng knew Jia The mother has always been concerned about her daughter who is far away in Yangzhou. The daughter is seriously ill, and Jia's mother is worried that she will not be able to eat or sleep well.Now her daughter's condition has improved, but Mother Jia didn't see it with her own eyes, so she still feels somewhat uneasy. Sending someone to visit instead of her will give her a lot of peace of mind.

Wang Xifeng's intention was very much in line with Jia's mother's wishes, "Well, let Lian'er go to Yangzhou in person." After she finished speaking, she thought of something, and teased Wang Xifeng, "Feng girl, are you willing to let Lian'er go to Yangzhou? ?”

"Why can't you bear it?" Wang Xifeng said solemnly, "It is his honor and filial piety for him to be able to do things for the ancestors to relieve their worries."

Youshi jokingly said, "Aren't you afraid that Second Uncle will go to Yangzhou and bring back a few people?"

Wang Xifeng didn't like to hear this, but she didn't show it on the surface, pretending to be generous: "If he goes to Yangzhou and brings back a few people, it shows that he has some skills. Besides, the people he brought back If it can spread the branches and leaves for our Jia family, it is also his credit."

Listening to Wang Xifeng's "sounding" words, You Shi continued to tease her: "If Second Uncle really brings someone back, I think your jealous vat will be overturned."

"Hahahaha..." Mother Jia was amused by Youshi's words, and laughed, "Okay, stop teasing Feng girl, if you keep teasing, Feng girl's jealousy will be overturned now."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.

Wang Xifeng laughed too, but she continued to say "bravely": "Am I such a stingy person? If he has the ability to bring someone back, I will treat him warmly."

When she said this, the audience laughed even louder.

Seeing that Jia's mother was completely happy, Wang Xifeng stopped joking and began to discuss with her old man what kind of medicinal materials and supplements to give.What should I give Lin Huaiyu?

Mother Jia said to give Jia Min the best medicinal materials and supplements at home.Mrs. Wang was very upset when she said this, but she didn't dare to show it.

After roughly discussing with Jia's mother what gift to give, Wang Xifeng left, went back to her room, and started to prepare.

"By the way, my aunt still has a daughter. Ping'er, go find some jewelry from your daughter's house, and let the second master take it with you when the time comes."

"Madam is still considerate." After Ping'er finished speaking, he asked, "Madam, what do we want to give Young Master Lin, pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

"The Lin family has no shortage of pens, ink, paper, inkstones and books, so we will give them..." Wang Xifeng thought for a while, and came up with a good idea, "You send someone to Qingxu Temple to find Taoist Zhang, and ask him to make an amulet for Young Master Lin."

After hearing this, Ping'er quickly said: "My wife is still wise, old lady, if you give the amulet to Young Master Lin, she will be happy. Mrs. Lin will also be happy."

In terms of pleasing people, Wang Xifeng is an expert, unmatched in Jia's mansion.Besides, both Jia's mother and Jia Min like this adopted child very much. For Jia Min, this is a lost and found son. Naturally, he hopes that his son will be healthy and safe for the rest of his life.

"Keep this matter secret, and don't let other people know about it." Wang Xifeng ordered so, because she was afraid that if others knew about it, others would follow her example and ask for an amulet for Lin Huaiyu.

"Madam, don't worry, I will never let other people know." After Ping'er finished speaking, he hesitated and said, "Madam, why did you take the initiative to ask Second Master to go to Yangzhou? You know that Second Master...you are not afraid of Second Master. Really..." Ping'er didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious.

Their second master is good at everything, but a little bad, that is lustful, and he can't walk when he sees a slightly better-looking woman.

Yangzhou is prosperous, and beauties have been born since ancient times, so let the second master go to Yangzhou, isn't this just like a mouse falling into a rice vat?

Wang Xifeng naturally knew what Ping'er meant, she frowned slightly and said, "Of course I'm worried, but this is a good opportunity to get close to the Lin family."

"Madam, Master Lin's official position is not very high, so it's unnecessary..."

"What do you know? Although the official position of inspecting the salt censor is not very big, but the emperor's confidant can't be this official." Although Wang Xifeng didn't read any books, it didn't mean she didn't know anything.She had heard the old lady say that although Master Lin's official status is not high, he actually has great power. "Didn't you see that the old lady is full of praise when they mention Master Lin? Didn't you see that the old lady has something good to send to Yangzhou. Being close to the Lin family will only be good, not bad."

Ping'er had a teachable expression: "What the wife said is true."

"Moreover, the Lin family has produced scholars from generation to generation. Master Lin himself is a Tanhua. Their son may also be a scholar in the future. Maybe he will inherit Master Lin's mantle in the future."

Ping'er said in admiration, "Madam is wise."

"As for whether the second master will bring anyone back," Wang Xifeng suddenly paused, then raised the corners of his mouth and sneered, "He dares!"

After a while, Jia Lian came back and was very happy to learn that he was going to visit Jia Min in Yangzhou.In fact, he had been to Yangzhou a few years ago, otherwise Wang Xifeng would not have recommended him to go to Yangzhou.

Seeing Jia Lian's happy appearance, Wang Xifeng warned him in a strange manner, telling him not to bring anyone back from Yangzhou.

Jia Lian justly stated that he was going to visit his aunt instead of the old lady, and he didn't go to Yangzhou to find flowers and ask willows, so Wang Xifeng could rest assured.

Wang Xifeng believed that Jia Lian did not have the guts to bring someone back from Yangzhou, but he would definitely search for flowers and ask Liu in Yangzhou.For her, looking for flowers and asking willows can turn a blind eye, but she will never allow someone to come back.

In the mansion next door, You Shi was discussing with Jia Zhen what would be a better gift.Jia Zhen didn't care about this matter, and let her figure it out.

Youshi couldn't do it well, so he had to discuss with Qin Keqing what to give.

With the Xing family, she didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so she went to ask Jia Amnesty for instructions.

Jia Amnesty didn't care about this matter, just let her send something casually.

Mrs. Wang also told Jia Zheng about this matter, and Jia Zheng didn't take it seriously like Jia Amnesty.He has always attached great importance to Lin Ruhai, his brother-in-law. Now that his younger sister and brother-in-law are happy to have a son, as an older brother, he will naturally give him a big gift.He told Mrs. Wang to leave it alone, and he would choose the gift himself.

Seeing Jia Zheng attach so much importance to Jia Min's son, Mrs. Wang felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it.

Jia Zheng left after talking to Mrs. Wang, turned around and went to Aunt Zhao's, which made Mrs. Wang very angry.

Lin Huaiyu, who was far away in Yangzhou, didn't know that the Jia family was busy giving him gifts, and at this time he was studying with his husband.

Within two days after he proposed to study, Lin Ruhai hired him a husband.In addition to the Mr. Four Books and Five Classics, there are also Mr. Qin, Qi, calligraphy and painting.

The husband Lin Ruhai found for him was of course the best in Yangzhou City.For example, the gentleman who taught him the Four Books and Five Classics was once the second in the list, but later he was demoted because he offended the dignitaries in the court. He resigned in anger and returned to his hometown to teach and educate people.

Lin Huaiyu proposed to let his younger sister study and study with him, so as to save money and ask the white-eyed wolf in Jia Yucun to be Xiaolin Daiyu's husband in the future.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min did not object to this proposal. They have always thought that there is nothing wrong with women's reading. On the contrary, they think it is a good thing for women to read and write.The husband is a reasonable person and agreed to let Xiaolin Daiyu study with Lin Huaiyu.

For Xiaolin Daiyu, being able to study with her brother every day is the happiest.

Lin Ruhai can finally take a rest, and decided to take her son and daughter out for a spring break tomorrow.

Jia Min is not in good health and cannot go out with them, so he helps them prepare things for going out for a spring outing tomorrow.

She asked Lin Ruhai to take the two children to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha early tomorrow morning, and ask for amulets for the two children.I also want to light a lamp for Lin Huaiyu in front of the Buddha.After Xiaolin Daiyu was born, Lin Ruhai lit a lamp for her in front of the Buddha.
