The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

After Ping'er finished speaking, he asked Brother Ying to take someone to arrange a place for Liu Ruoxu.

Chapter 243: Low-key, forbearance

When Liu Ruoxu came to Beijing this time, she brought dozens of carts of goods, including perfumes, spices, and local specialties from all over the Yangtze River. Three hundred jars of fine Shaoxing wine alone were brought.

When the convoy reached the outside of the forest garden, the servant guarding the gate immediately shouted: "The third master is back home!"

In the carriage, Liu Ruoxu, who was talking to Lin Yun, was startled by the shout. She quickly stretched out her hand to lift the curtain and looked outside.

Seeing this luxurious manor in front of her, Liu Ruoxu was both excited and nervous. The excitement was that she would become a member here, and the nervousness was that she had not yet received the approval of the mistress.

Lin Yun knew the tension in her heart, and comforted her with a smile: "But Qing is very nice, as long as you treat each other with sincerity, she will definitely accept you."

Liu Ruoxu nodded, and then asked, "Sister Yu'er, you must not be very talkative, right?"

"Don't worry, I'll settle things for you on Yu'er's side."

Liu Ruoxu: "Let's do it myself, I want to get her sincere approval."

"Okay, listen to you."

"Thank you."

...

Just then, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Lin Yun raised his hand to open the curtains, and saw Ping'er leading Pearl and a group of maids and women standing outside the second door to greet them.Behind them, a small blue warm sedan chair was also prepared.

Liu Ruoxu asked nervously: "Third Master, what are they going to do?"

"Come on, let's go out and have a look."

As soon as Lin Yun and Liu Ruoxu stepped out of the carriage, they saw Ping'er walking up to greet her, bowed to Liu Ruoxu and said, "My servant, Ping'er, pay my respects to the young lady."

Liu Ruoxu had heard from Lin Yun that Ping'er was both the housekeeper in the mansion and Lin Yun's concubine, so she hurriedly bowed back, "Hello, sister Ping'er!"

After the maidservants and mother-in-law finished saluting to Liu Ruoxu, Pearl walked over, took Liu Ruoxu's hand, and said with a smile, "Sister Liu, we finally meet again."

Liu Ruoxu smiled and said, "Sister Pearl, are you okay?"

"very good!"

While the two girls were talking, Lin Yun pulled Ping'er aside and asked in a low voice, "Sister Ping'er, what are you doing with a sedan chair?"

Ping'er laughed and said, "My aunt comes in, you can't let her in?"

Lin Yun asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

"Don't worry about the third master. The second master Lian is here, so go and have a look."

"But~"

"Don't worry, grandma won't embarrass Miss Liu."

"Okay, then please."

...

After sending Lin Yun away, Ping'er walked back and smiled at Liu Ruoxu: "Grandma said, the girl enters the inner house in this sedan chair today, and she is the rightful concubine of the third master."

Liu Ruoxu was overjoyed when she heard the words, she was still worried that the mistress would not accept her, but now this difficulty has disappeared.

But when she saw Xiangling and Aunt Zhen walking over together, she immediately regained consciousness.

She shook her head at Ping'er and said: "Sister Xiangling hasn't entered the door yet, how dare the slave family come first, and ask sister Ping'er to sue grandma for me, and say that I appreciate grandma's kindness."

Ping'er heard the words and admired secretly in her heart, Miss Liu really has a calm temperament, and she can still stick to principles in the face of temptation, which is probably difficult even for her.

"Since Sister Liu doesn't want to be a sedan chair, then this servant will accompany you to see grandma."

When Liu Ruoxu heard Ping'er change her title, she knew that she had made the right decision just now. The mistress was indeed testing her.

...

In the living room of the back house, Qin Keqing was receiving Wang Xifeng who was visiting as a guest, while Daiyu was sitting beside her.

Wang Xifeng looked at Qin Keqing and praised: "I heard from our second master earlier that my siblings are so beautiful and beautiful, which is rare in the world. When I see them today, it is true."

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "I have also heard from my husband that my second sister-in-law is a hero among the fans. When I see her today, she is indeed worthy of her name."

Wang Xifeng: "Brother Yun is used to coaxing people, brothers and sisters, don't be fooled by him."

Daiyu coughed lightly and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, my brother is telling the truth."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "I actually forgot that there is also Brother Yun's Ear God here."

Daiyu said angrily: "Sister-in-law Feng bullied me, I will go back and tell Brother Lian and ask him to avenge me."

Qin Keqing pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister Yu'er has found the wrong person, I'm afraid your second brother Lian won't be able to suppress Sister-in-law Feng."

Wang Xifeng looked at Daiyu smugly, and said in her heart, "As for your cowardly second brother Lian, it's not bad if I suppress him."

Daiyu smiled slyly: "What if my elder brother helps Second Brother Lian? Is Sister-in-law Feng confident to deal with it?"

Wang Xifeng's expression changed drastically when she heard this. If Brother Yun really wanted to help Mr. Lian, she would not even have a chance of winning.

Qin Keqing hurriedly said: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, how could your brother do such a thing."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "My brother and sister are right, brother Yun will definitely not embarrass me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a maid outside shouting loudly: "Miss Liu is here."

Qin Keqing quickly straightened her sitting posture and looked out the door.

Wang Xifeng asked Daiyu in a low voice, "Sister Lin, who is Miss Liu?"

Daiyu lowered her voice and said, "It's my brother who stayed in Jiangnan to take charge of the business."

"Oh!"

Wang Xifeng immediately became interested when she heard the words. The perfume shop in Jinling also has her shares. Miss Liu must establish a good relationship.

Not long after, I saw Ping'er walking in slowly from the door accompanied by a tall and beautiful woman.

It was Liu Ruoxu who came in. Ping'er pointed at Qin Keqing and introduced her: "Sister Liu, this is our grandma."

Liu Ruoxu stepped forward and bowed to salute, "If so, please greet grandma."

Qin Keqing took a few careful glances at the other party, then raised her hand to support her and said, "If you are a younger sister, please call me older sister in the future."

Liu Ruoxu hurriedly changed his words: "Little sister respects my sister's orders."

After finishing speaking, she took out a gift list from her bosom, handed it to Qin Keqing and said, "This is the list of belongings brought by my younger sister, please send someone to count them."

Qin Keqing took the gift list and put it on the table, pointed to Daiyu and introduced to Liu Ruoxu: "This is sister Yu'er."

Liu Ruoxu stepped forward to salute and said, "If so, please greet the girl."

Daiyu smiled slyly and asked, "What should I call you?"

Liu Ruoxu smiled calmly and said, "You can call me whatever you like."

Daiyu was about to say a few more difficult words when she heard Qin Keqing cough lightly.She immediately turned her back on herself, not daring to embarrass Miss Liu any more.

Qin Keqing pointed to Wang Xifeng and introduced: "This is Lian's second grandma of Rongguo Mansion. Her husband and our third master are brothers and sisters, so they can be regarded as our own family."

Liu Ruoxu saluted again and said, "If so, please greet Second Mistress."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly got up to return the salute, and said: "Since your grandma said that you want to be called sisters, don't call me second grandma from now on, just call me second sister-in-law."

"It's your life."

At this time, Xiangling also led Aunt Zhen in to kowtow to Qin Keqing.

Only then did Liu Ruoxu heave a sigh of relief, she glanced at Daiyu and thought, "This sister-in-law is really weird and difficult to deal with."

After Aunt Zhen finished her salute, Qin Keqing told Brother Ying, "Brother Ying, since all the guests are here, you should hurry up and inform the kitchen that the banquet can begin."

"Okay, grandma."

Ping'er hurriedly said, "Grandma, let me go."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Feng is here today as a guest. Sister Ping'er will sit at the same table with her for dinner. Master and servant are equal."

Wang Xifeng: Sister, you don't know that, Ping'er often eats at our table in the mansion over there. "

Qin Keqing: "Then you don't have to be polite, Miss Ping, you can sit next to Sister-in-law Feng today."

Ping'er still wanted to refuse, but Wang Xifeng grabbed him and sat down on the stool next to him. He said with a smile: "Ping'er, just sit here. I want to show Sister Lin today. I also have a big belly." Tolerable.”

Daiyu pulled Xiangling and her daughter to sit down beside her, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Feng, the master and servants sit together. I also have mother and daughter sitting together here, but they are not all together."

Aunt Zhen said anxiously: "Girl, I can't sit here."

Daiyu: "I heard from my brother that my aunt was originally from an official family, but she couldn't imitate her."

Qin Keqing: "What my sister said is, Aunt Zhen, you can sit down and have a meal together."

Aunt Zhen said gratefully: "Thank you, Grandma and Miss."

Qin Keqing pulled Miss Liu and Pearl to sit next to her, and now the seat was finally full.

...

In the outer study, Lin Yun and Jia Lian were also sitting together drinking.

While pouring wine for Jia Lian, Lin Yun asked with a smile, "Why is Sister-in-law Feng here today?"

"It was the old lady who asked her to come. After the master read your letter, he scolded Mr. Lai and ordered him to cancel the ban on you and Yu'er. The old lady ordered Xixue to be kicked out of Baoyu's room." If you leave, the wife will be sick with anger."

Lin Yun raised a glass to Jia Lian and said, "It seems it's all my fault."

Jia Lian took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Yun, what did you write in that letter that caused the master and wife to argue."

Lin Yun read the contents of the letter to Jia Lian, and then explained: "Women should obey their husbands when they get married. Your wife wants to use Wang Ziteng's power to fight for the right to speak in the mansion. This is the old lady and the master. Most disgusting."

Jia Lian suddenly said: "You are reminding the master in the letter that the interests of the Wang family and our Jia family are not the same, right?"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "That's right. Uncle Wang holds the military power in his hand. It is not only the power that the concubine Xian relies on behind, but also the knife that rests on the empress's back. Whether it is power or the knife, it is all in the mind of the uncle, but the Jia family does not. The ability to control, what is the use of such an uncontrollable momentum."

Jia Lian nodded, and then asked: "In your opinion, how can eldest sister stand out in the palace?"

Lin Yun thought for a moment and said, "Second brother Lian, do you know about the fight for the crown prince in the Zhenguan Dynasty?"
