Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 117 Don’t You Really Want This Jade?

"mother!"

"Mother-in-law!"

After entering the inner house, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai both bowed to Grandmother Jia.

Grandmother Jia looked at her daughter, who was still radiant, and her son-in-law, who was handsome and elegant.

Although she felt a little angry at her son-in-law for kidnapping her daughter for more than ten years.

But my daughter is so well taken care of, she is still radiant and looks more than ten years younger than her peers.

She thought of her niece Shi Yifang who came back from her mother's family at the end of last year. Alas! That child was tossed around like a wooden sculpture or clay statue after marrying into the Fang family.

He looks several years older.

You can tell whether a woman’s life is good or not by looking at her face.

It can be said that I did not make a wrong choice as son-in-law.

Thinking of this, she asked someone to help her daughter and son-in-law up.

"Come on! You've kidnapped my daughter for more than ten years, so I won't say anything."

"You have to stay longer this time."

"Son-in-law, I won't keep you any longer. You are all officials and gentlemen. Go and talk about your important matters."

"Let's have a nice kiss, ladies."

After Lin Ruhai finished his greetings, he looked at Jia Min and her two children, then left with Jia Zheng and Jia She.

……

"Mother, this is Daiyu, this is Yongan!"

"Daiyu, Yong'an, come here and pay your respects to your grandmother."

Daiyu and Yong'an are now dressed like a pair of golden boy and jade girl, wrapped in silk and satin, with jade hairpins plugging their heads. There is no way around it, as Jia Min will not allow her children to embarrass herself in front of her parents' home.

Before getting out of the sedan chair, they had their wet nurses put their hair on neatly.

Although it has been more than ten years, I don’t know what the current fashion is in Beijing.

But Jia Min was well prepared, and she had prepared all kinds of styles.

The maids carried various jewelry with them and had several extra sets of clothes.

He was afraid that he would be too shabby and outdone by the children from his mother's family, which would displease his mother.

Lin Daiyu and Yong'an heard the call and came over, bowing respectfully.

"Hey! Quick, Feng girl, hold the children back. They are so young, there is no need to perform such a big ceremony."

As she spoke, Grandmother Jia reached out and embraced Daiyu and Yongan.

Cherish your loved ones.

……

"Okay! All the men have left, and we are the only ones left. Feng girl, let the girls in." Grandmother Jia ordered.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Xifeng clapped her hands a few times.

"Girls, come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several girls dressed similarly came out from behind the screen.

Based on the memory of Dream of the Red Chamber,

Lin Daiyu recognized at a glance the gentle and amiable Jia Yingchun, the lively Jia Tanchun, and the still young Jia Xichun.

……

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was still identifying them one by one, Wang Xifeng walked over.

"Old lady! Look, this cousin from the Lin family has outshined the girls from our family."

"I have seen quite a few young wives, but I have never seen a talent as divine as the Lin family's cousin."

Looking at these girls who looked like water lilies, Grandmother Jia also smiled brightly.

"You're the only one who talks too much. Is it you who made them all hide behind the screen? It's you who has the most devious thoughts, no one else."

"Stop talking nonsense and introduce your aunt to someone else."

"Your aunt has never seen them, so she must not recognize them all."

As soon as Wang Xifeng heard it, she knew that Grandmother Jia was teasing her again, and she was also very happy.

"Old lady, look at what you said. We have many children. Can't we give Auntie some time to prepare?"

"Aunt, are the gifts enough?" After saying that, a pair of smiling eyes looked at Jia Min.

"That's enough. Even yours is not bad."

As she spoke, Jia Min took the gift box from Nanny Rong behind her.

"Well prepared!"

"You're the only one who talks too much, are you reminding us that we haven't prepared gifts for our nieces and nephews?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely defeat you." Jia's grandmother pointed at Wang Xifeng and laughed loudly. The dark blue headband inlaid with turquoise seemed to relax a little.

"That's good, auntie. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Yingchun, the daughter of the eldest master."

"This is Tanchun, the second master's daughter."

"This is Xichun, the younger sister of Brother Zhen from the East Palace."

"This belongs to the second master..."

Before she could finish the introduction, another one popped out and walked up to Lin Daiyu in a daze.

"Sister! Do you have jade?"

"Thump!" Lin Daiyu's heart was pounding.

This Jia Baoyu really followed the script routine.

She didn't have any other thoughts about Jia Baoyu.

Just get along as ordinary relatives.

After all, ever since she had the dream of nine lifetimes, she felt that Jia Baoyu seemed somewhat familiar.

This damn sense of fatalism.

"No! But I have a parrot."

After that, in order to divert the attention of this silly boy, she shouted,

"Parrot!" Her parrot, who had no idea where it had hidden, flew towards her.

It fell on Lin Daiyu's shoulder and looked at Jia Baoyu with a pair of green eyes.

Jia Baoyu seemed not to notice the parrot. All he had in his eyes was Lin Daiyu.

When he heard that Lin Daiyu didn't have a jade either, he tore off the jade from his neck.

"What a treasure! None of my sisters have any at home, and now a fairy-like sister has come and still has none."

"I don't think it's a good thing."

After saying that, he threw the jade down and was about to step on it.

Everyone was startled, some hugged their waists, some pulled their legs.

"My dear! That's your life. You can take it out on as many people as you want, but why take it out on your own life?" Mrs. Wang covered her eyes with a handkerchief, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Daiyu suddenly felt that all this was so magical.

It seemed as if everyone was acting according to a script; even Jia Min turned pale with fright.

He reached out and held Lin Daiyu, fearing that his daughter would be sad.

Lin Daiyu was like an audience, watching the slow-motion performance, watching the crowd surrounding the noisy ancestor.

Some were staring, some were crying, and some were hugging people and not daring to let go.

There are also those who reach out to take the jade on the ground.

Lin Daiyu thought to herself, I can’t follow the script, I have to change.

She shouted, "Wait! Put your hands down, the maid who stole the jade."

When the maid heard someone calling her to steal the jade, she was so scared that she let go.

Stand up immediately.

Lin Daiyu walked forward, bent down to pick up the jade from the ground, blinked her clear eyes and asked Jia Baoyu,

"Cousin, you really don't want such a fine jade?"

"If you don't want it, I'll take it. I just don't have it and I'm missing a piece of jade!"

"This jade can be sold for a lot of money!"

"Look! I shouldn't have doubted my cousin. Since he said he didn't want it, a real man should stick to his word."

"Since it's something my cousin doesn't want anymore, I picked it up and it's mine."

After saying this, Lin Daiyu put the jade into her pocket as if no one was around.

This time when she entered the Jia Mansion, she prepared a bigger pocket just to receive gifts.

Of course, if their own pockets are not enough, there are Nanny Wang and Xueyan who have provided them with storage bags.

The box is not easy to take out, it is a bit too eye-catching.

Is it a sin to like money?

Lin Daiyu likes to be open and honest.

She spoke frankly, and everyone was shocked, including Jia Baoyu, who was angry.

This cousin from the Lin family is so different.

Mrs. Wang could not hide her displeasure. Ever since she knew that Jia Zheng and Jia's mother were planning to let Jia Min's maid marry back home,

I feel depressed.

Do my daughter and son have to sacrifice themselves for the family?

It's fine if Jia Min's daughter is good, as long as the man gets married, he can also take a concubine he likes.

But what kind of girl is this? She is rude and greedy for money, and she even dreams of matching up with my Baoyu.

He looks like a petty person who has never seen the world.

As arrogant and wild as her mother.

How dare you accept anything?

But no matter how much you think about it, once the things are in someone else's pocket, how can you get them back?

In such a situation, Mrs. Wang could not ask for it and could only wait angrily.

Jia Min was so angry that she felt like her internal organs were dislocated.

"Daiyu! Those are your cousin's things. Take them out. Do you need jade?"

"Are you missing?"

At this time, Jia Min couldn't embarrass her child in front of so many people, nor could she say it clearly.

I can only ask by implication.

I thought to myself, kid, please be more generous!
