Weiyang of the Red Mansion

When we arrived at Rongguo Mansion, we saw Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, coming out from the west corner gate of Rong Guo Mansion. Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion has only her eldest son, Jia Rong, who was born to her late wife. He is 11 years old this year, a year older than Lin Lang.

Seeing Jia Min, You Shi was taken aback, and immediately realized, and stepped forward to salute, "Aunt Min, are you well, are you here to see your ancestor?"

Jia Min was also a little surprised to see You Shi here, and came back to his senses and said, "You are not in the mansion to prepare the funeral for your elder sister-in-law, why did you come to Rongguo Mansion?"

"The younger sister is still young, and the master ignores everything. After I discussed with the uncle, I begged my ancestors to raise my sister under my ancestors' knees. The ancestors took pity on my sister and already left her behind." Youshi said honestly. road.

The mother-in-law gave birth to such a daughter in the past half a century, and she passed away. The younger sister's body is really weak, and she has no son under her knees. When she married to fill the house, Jia Rong was already three or four years old, and she was not at all like her. Dear, she also wanted to have a son of her own. Who would have thought that her body would be so unbelievable, and after so many years of marriage, her knees would still be empty.

Now she has a younger sister who was born by her mother-in-law. It stands to reason that she can raise her. After all, a sister-in-law is like a mother, but she has no experience in raising children, and her younger sister is weak. Blame it, it's not going well inside and out, it's better to send it to the ancestors who have always loved their children and grandchildren in Xifu. She can take better care of the younger sister left by her mother-in-law than she can.

Jia Min couldn't help frowning when she heard this. Although her mother is still in good health, she is still in her 60s. How can she have the energy to raise a baby?What's more, if the baby is fussy, it may disturb the mother to rest.

However, she also understands Youshi's worries. Youshi has no experience in childbearing, and has a son under her knees, but it was left by her husband's deceased original wife, and she was not born by herself at all. Jia Rong was at the age of the governor when she married. , Knowing that she is a stepmother, how could you get close to her?

Youshi sent the daughter born to Mrs. Jing's sister-in-law to her mother, probably with some careful thoughts.

"So that's how it is. I'm still busy at the East Mansion, so go back and cook first." Jia Min said flatly.

You Shi bowed his knees to say goodbye, then got into the carriage and left.

Lin Lang stepped forward and followed Jia Min into Rongguo Mansion from the west corner gate, and went directly to Rongqing Hall where Jiamu lived.

When I came to Rongqing hall, I saw a nanny holding a baby standing next to Jia Mu. Jia Mu teased her a little bit from time to time. Standing beside her were Jia Amnesty's second wife, Xing Shi, and Jia Zheng's wife. Mrs. Wang, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, was sitting beside Jia's mother. Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were nowhere to be seen. They probably went to the East Mansion to help with the funeral.

"Mother, is this the daughter of Brother Jing from Dongfu?" Jia Min bowed to Mother Jia, then looked at the baby in the nurse's arms.

Mother Jia sighed, "It's not good to respect a daughter-in-law. She gave birth to this daughter-in-law and let go. Youshi is young and begged to come to me. I saw that the child was not in good health, so I stayed and saved the young couple. The two didn't take good care of them, and Jing's daughter-in-law gave birth to an accident."

As for Jia Jing, Mother Jia never counted on him.

In the early years when Jia Jingzhong was a Jinshi, there were still people in the later period of the Eastern Mansion. Unexpectedly, after Jia Daihua died, this bastard would become obsessed with cultivating immortals and practicing Taoism during the period of mourning.

Now that I am 50 years old, I often go to the Taoist temple to make some elixir with the screwer. I have eaten it for so many years and I have not seen Dao Feisheng.

"Brother Jing, did you name her?" Jia Min asked.

Jiamu sighed again, "Why would he care about these things? If he was in charge, how could Youshi ask me to come?"

Hearing this, Jia Min frowned, "Brother Jing didn't even give her a name?"

"I thought that since it was sent to our place to raise, I might as well name it along with Yuan Chun, Xichun."

When Jia Min heard this, she couldn't say anything more, but she inevitably had thoughts about Ningguo Mansion.

After staying in Rongguo Mansion for a while, Jia Min went to Ningguo Mansion to complain, and then brought Lin Lang back to the mansion.

On the way, Lin Lang suddenly remembered something, "By the way, mother, Big Brother Zhu's wedding will be at the end of October, and now Master Jing's wife is gone. Forget it, Big Brother Zhu will pay for Master Jing's wife for three months. , I'm afraid his marriage will be postponed?"

Otherwise, if you get married during the filial piety period, would Jia Zhu still want fame?

"Brother Zhu has to observe filial piety for three months, so of course the wedding date has to be postponed. It is already the beginning of October, and after the filial piety is over, the new year is over, and the wedding date can only be postponed to next year. It doesn't mean that you can get married after the three-month filial piety is over. I have to pick another auspicious date," Jia Min sighed, "Don't say that your cousin Zhu has to keep his filial piety, but I also have to pay homage to my sister-in-law for three months."

She is Jia Jing's second younger sister. If she is not married and his wife dies, she will have to do little work. If she is married, she only needs to be numb for three months.

And Lin Lang is a child of the Lin family, so he doesn't need to be filial to Jia Jing's wife.

It was only after Lin Lang returned to Beijing that he found out that his second uncle had another daughter. Although he was born of a concubine, his first uncle also had a son who was also born of a concubine.

I don't know what's going on in Rongguo Mansion. The two uncles are not young, and they will add another child at this time.

However, this is all a private matter of the Rongguo Mansion, and it is not his turn to take care of it. There are many concubine children in other houses at this age, and his two uncles are not even ranked.

The funeral in Ningguo Mansion was handled as usual, and even though it was the first time for Youshi to take care of it, nothing went wrong.

It took 49 days for the ashram to finish, and it was already mid-November at this time, and it was almost the end of the year, Lin Ruhai became more and more busy, Daiyu had been nine months old, and could already call people.

Strange to say, Dai Yu had just learned to call people, and instead of calling her parents, she called her elder brother.

Although Lin Lang loves his younger sister Daiyu, he has already moved to the outer courtyard to live alone. The younger sister is still young and lives in the main courtyard with his mother Jia Min. Except for a short time every day, the two siblings spend the rest of their time with Jia Min. Accompanying Daiyu, logically speaking, even if Daiyu could call someone, she would call mother first.

For this matter, Jia Min still said that the girl had "no conscience" and only kissed her brother.

Of course, it was just a joke.

Lin Lang felt that his younger sister, Daiyu, was very smart, and maybe in two years, he would be able to teach his younger sister the inner strength and mentality of even cultivating one's body.

Originally thought that this year would pass smoothly and smoothly, but unexpectedly the emperor suddenly became seriously ill, and the prince took care of the government affairs temporarily. Within two days, it was discovered that the emperor had been poisoned. The prince was furious and ordered the imperial physician to detoxify as soon as possible, otherwise he would be cut head.He also ordered Shuntian Mansion, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Ministry to jointly investigate the person who poisoned the emperor.

On the eve of New Year's Eve, the eldest prince Qin Wang suddenly launched an attack, saying that the prince poisoned the emperor and was unbearable to be a king. , King Qin wanted to take out the antidote to detoxify the emperor, but King Qin refused and felt hopeless and killed the prince to win the throne. In desperation, he raised his sword and killed himself.

The prince caught the person who helped the king of Qin develop the drug. After all, he detoxified the emperor, but his health was not as good as before, and the prince was still in charge of political affairs temporarily.

Although King Qin was put to death, his wife, concubine and children were still implicated and imprisoned in the clan mansion.

The drama ended. Although the emperor was still alive, everyone knew that the crown prince was the next emperor, and the emperor would not live for more than a year.

After the new year, Lin Lang was invited by Shui Rong to go out to watch the Lantern Festival, but he didn't expect Shui Rong to bring his younger sister out.

Seeing this little county magistrate, Lin Lang felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." I haven't seen you for more than a year, seeing that the little county head has grown up a lot, and he is not as bold and unrestrained as the old concubine of Beijing County's birthday.

Lin Lang felt that he looked at people with colored glasses, and felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it. He just gave a lantern to the small county magistrate Shui Keyu to express his apology when he guessed the lantern riddle later.

On the contrary, Shui Rong saw Lin Lang sending the lamp to his sister, and seemed to have misunderstood something, but he didn't say anything, pretending he didn't see it.

After walking around the bustling market, Lin Lang saw that Shui Keyu seemed a little tired, so he said, "Maosheng, it's getting late, shall we go back?"

Shui Rong lost interest after wandering around. Hearing Lin Lang's words, he looked up at the sky and said, "It's really getting late, so let's go back. Do you want to come with us?"

Inviting Lin Lang out to visit the Lantern Festival, he took his sister to pick Lin Lang up in a carriage to the Lin Mansion. Lin Lang did not come out in a carriage, but this place is not far from the Lin Mansion. If Lin Lang wanted to go back by himself, he would I will not say that Lin Lang must be sent.

It seemed that Lin Lang was only following two servants, but in fact he knew that Master Lin had arranged many people to follow Lin Lang secretly, just because he was afraid that something would happen to Lin Lang.

So he wasn't worried that something would happen to Lin Lang when he went back by himself.

"It's not far from the Lin Mansion. I'll just go back by myself. I see that the little county master is already very sleepy. Mao Sheng should take his sister back to rest first. Resting too late is not good for your health." Lin Lang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shui Rong only went to see Shui Keyu, only then did he realize that his sister was dozing off, and said apologetically, "I was negligent, then Qionghua, you can go back home by yourself, be careful on the way."

Lin Lang smiled and sent the two of them to the carriage, Shui Keyu sat in the carriage and looked at Lin Lang, "When will brother Lin come to our house to play again?"

"I'll go when I'm free."

Ever since he found out that Shui Keyu had changed, Lin Lang didn't reject the little girl so much. After all, he was two years younger than him. It was really out of style for him to be brooding over some embarrassing things that the former little county magistrate made him.

What's more, if you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, Shui Keyu is Shui Rong's direct sister after all. For Shui Rong's sake, he has to change his attitude, not to mention that Shui Keyu is not a very annoying person.

"Can I remember?" Shui Keyu blinked playfully, then sat inside.

Shui Rong got into the carriage, winked at Lin Lang, and smiled teasingly, "I remember too?" He told the coachman to drive the carriage.

Lin Lang came back to his senses and looked at the receding carriage, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Did his friend misunderstand something?

Lin Lang returned to the mansion with his thoughts in mind, and involuntarily went into the study, took out the paintings in the drawer and looked at them.

He is not a real child, he has a whole life of memories, how can he not understand the meaning of Shui Rong's eyes?

It's just that he really doesn't have any affection for Shui Keyu, and Shui Rong really misunderstood.
