The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

...

At noon, Mother Jia set up two tables of banquets in the flower hall to welcome her daughter.

Lin Yun sat down to eat with Baoyu, Daiyu and Sanchun. There was only one adult woman at the table, Jia Lan's mother Li Wan.

Lin Yun didn't find it strange that Jia Lian didn't come. After all, he was a grown man, and he was not suitable to dine with his sisters in the inner house.But Jia Lan was about the same age as Baoyu, and he was Jia Zheng's grandson, so Lin Yun couldn't understand why he hadn't been seen.

The atmosphere at this table was a bit awkward due to the jade-smashing incident.Fortunately, Tanchun was more lively and could chat with Daiyu. When he learned that both of them liked Yiqi, they met for a chance to compete.

Although Baoyu wanted to have a good relationship with Sister Lin, she also took the initiative to ask this and that, but Daiyu was also very arrogant. Depressed endlessly.

Lin Yun was originally interested in the three little gold hairpins, but the three little girls in front of him were all too young.Yingchun, Tanchun and Daiyu are about the same age, only about seven or eight years old, and Xichun is even younger, and she even needs the help of her mother-in-law to pick up vegetables.

Previously, the young woman Li Wan was like an invisible person in front of everyone.She was very polite to Lin Yun when accompanying him to the meal.He not only introduced the dishes on the table to him, but also chatted with Lin Yunduo under the pretext of asking Jia Min for treatment.

After all, this identity is a bit special, and Lin Yun didn't dare to talk to her, so he could only chat with the little girl Xichun who was sitting beside her.

Sister Feng is a good person to chat with, but she has to be busy serving Jia Mu and Jia Min, and she can't take care of these children.

After lunch, Jia Min took Lin Yun and Daiyu to bid farewell to Jia's mother.

Baoyu originally hoped that Daiyu would stay and play with him, but although Jia Mu asked to stay, Jia Min tactfully refused, which made Baoyu very hurt.

...

After sending Jia Min away, Wang Xifeng was finally free and took Ping'er back to her small courtyard.

After entering the door, he saw Jia Lian sitting alone at the table, drinking from a cup.

Seeing Wang Xifeng and Hepinger come in, Jia Lian asked with a smile, "Auntie is gone?"

Wang Xifeng went to sit down opposite Jia Lian, and while sending the little maid to serve the meal, she said in a low voice, "It was a good show today."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "But Mammy Lai picked Brother Yun's fault in front of the old lady?"

"You guessed it right, Nanny Lai did mention this matter in front of the old lady, but that brother Yun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he settled it in a few clicks."

"Oh, what's going on?"

Wang Xifeng introduced what happened in the flower hall to Jia Lian.

After hearing this, Jia Lian laughed and said, "I knew that Brother Yun was not simple, and I guessed it right."

Wang Xifeng lowered her voice and said, "Brother Bao broke the jade again today."

"What happened to Baoyu?"

"I don't like scholars. Earlier in the flower hall, everyone was praising Brother Yun for being a scholar at such a young age, and Baoyu dropped jade when he became angry."

Jia Lian shook his head speechlessly, this matter really made him unable to comment.

At this time, the servant girl brought three bowls of rice, Wang Xifeng smiled at Ping'er: "You have been tired for a long time today, so sit down and have a meal with us."

Ping'er was not polite either, and sat at the bottom of the husband and wife, and had dinner with them.

The three of them were eating when they suddenly saw a little maid raising the door curtain and said, "Second Master, Second Mistress, Sister Yuanyang is here."

As soon as the words fell, Yuanyang, the big maid in Jiamu's room, came in from outside, "Oh, how many of you are eating?"

Jia Lian hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Sister Yuanyang, why are you here?"

"It's not that our aunt brought gifts everywhere. I was appointed by the old lady to bring them here for you."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Just let the maidservant deliver the things. Why bother you."

"Look at what you say, as if I am that young lady."

Ping'er jokingly said: "In front of the old lady, you are more respectable than Miss Qianjin."

"Okay, I can't say anything to your family, so hurry up and accept the gifts. I have to go to the next house."

After Yuanyang finished speaking, she rushed to the door and shouted: "Bring it in."

As soon as the words were finished, two women came in carrying a mahogany box.

After the mother-in-law put down the box, Yuanyang smiled again and said, "Look at the presents, I'm leaving first."

"Sister Yuanyang, walk slowly."

Chapter 35: Different Minds

After the mandarin duck left, Wang Xifeng smiled at Jia Lian, "Second Master, do you think there is that perfume in the gift from my aunt?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Most likely there are. Our aunts are dignified and grand, so it is natural to give the best things as gifts."

Wang Xifeng: "Ping'er, go and open the box to see if our second master's guess is right."

Ping'er stepped forward quickly, and with the help of a little maid, opened the box.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng went over to have a look, and saw a bright and eye-catching Su embroidery on the bottom of the box, and two brocade boxes, one large and one small, stacked on top of the cloth.

Ping'er opened the slightly larger brocade box and found a set of exquisite porcelain inside.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng was slightly disappointed. Although Su embroidery and porcelain were expensive, they were not rare items for her, who came from a big family in Jinling.

Ping'er then opened the smaller brocade box, and immediately said pleasantly: "Second master, second grandma, this seems to be the perfume you are talking about."

The original text comes from Ta&Read novels~&

Jia Lian hurriedly reached out to take the brocade box, took out a small porcelain bottle from it, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "It seems to be this thing."

Ping'er then reminded: "Second Master, there is still a paper sign in here."

Jia Lian took the paper sign and saw that it said how to use the perfume.

Following the instructions in the manual, he opened the perfume in his hand, sniffed it in front of his nose, and then said with a smile: "It is indeed perfume."

"Second Master, show me quickly."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "It says on the sign that if you put a little bit of perfume on your ears, the fragrance will last for a long time. Let me try it on for you."

Wang Xifeng spat shyly: "There are still people in the room, the second master should also respect it."

When Jia Lian was told this by his wife, he suddenly felt dull. He handed the bottle in his hand to Ping'er and said, "Try it yourself. I still have something to do. Let's go out first."

Wang Xifeng's thoughts were all on the perfume, and she didn't pay attention to her husband's displeasure.Ping'er really wanted to remind her, but Wang Xifeng urged her: "Ping'er, please try it for me and see if this thing is worth 50 taels of silver."

Holding the bottle, Ping'er asked doubtfully, "How do I try this?"

"Didn't the second master just say that?" Pour out a little and apply it behind the ears. "

"Grandma should do it herself."

"useless."

Wang Xifeng groaned, then took the bottle and poured it on her finger, this time it poured a little more, the perfume dripped on her clothes along her finger.

Immediately, a strong aroma spread quickly, filling the entire room.

"ah!"

Wang Xifeng exclaimed, and then said pleasantly: "It really is a good thing, no wonder it can be sold for 50 taels of silver."

Ping'er said anxiously: "Grandma, your clothes are stained with perfume, how can you get out later?"

"It's okay, the scent will dissipate later, can it still be so fragrant."

"But I think the fragrance on your clothes seems to be getting stronger and stronger."

"That's the best way. When the second master comes back, let's make a deal with him, and we must invest in this business."

The more Wang Xifeng talked, the happier she became, as if she saw a pile of silver in front of her and was waving to her.

...

In Mrs. Wang's courtyard,

After sending the mandarin ducks away, Zhou Rui's family returned to Mrs. Wang and introduced the gifts brought by Jia Min to her.

Mrs. Wang leaned back on the soft couch, her eyes were slightly closed, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were turning gently. After Zhou Rui's family finished speaking, she opened her eyes and asked Zhou Rui's family: "What happened to you today?" look?"

Wei Wei from Zhou Rui's family was stunned for a moment, and then asked in doubt: "Who does Madam mean?"

Mrs. Wang: "Why do you think my aunt brought an outsider to see the old lady?"

From Zhou Rui's family: "My wife said that my aunt did this, so there is no deep meaning?"

"If my guess is correct, she wants to adopt Brother Yun."

Zhou Rui's family suddenly said: "Grandma wants to show the person to the old lady first, so that the old lady can help observe."

"It must be so."

Then, Mrs. Wang said again: "What do you think of that Brother Yun?"

Zhou Rui's family pondered for a moment, and then said: "People are extremely smart, but they are too sincere, even Lai Nanny was put together by him, which shows that his scheming is terrifying."

Mrs. Wang smiled lightly and said, "Do you think a 13-year-old child can have such scheming?"

Zhou Rui's family asked in surprise: "Could it be that these were arranged by my aunt in advance?"

Mrs. Wang answered irrelevantly and said: "She is always scheming, since she dared to use the younger generation of Lai's family as a weapon, how could she have no countermeasures?"

Zhou Rui's family persuaded: "After all, my aunt still has to go back to Yangzhou, and my wife doesn't have to worry about it, just let them make trouble."

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes again when she heard the words. She was not concerned about Jia Min accepting Lin Yun as his stepson, but worried that Jia Min would persuade the old lady to transfer Jia's contacts to his uncle Lin Ruhai when he came back this time. Something she can't stand.

Bishachu is where Baoyu lives.

After Jia Min and Daiyu left, Baoyu went back to her room listlessly, and lay down on the couch, thinking sullenly.

Xiren, the eldest maid in his room, came over with a bowl of sober tea and advised Baoyu, "Second Lord, get up and drink some sober tea before going to bed."

Baoyu waved his hand impatiently and said, "No, I'm not drinking today, so I don't need to drink this stuff."

Xiren was about to persuade him again, but he saw Baoyu sitting up suddenly and muttering to himself, "I just found out today that my aunt's sister Lin and I seemed to know each other before."

Xiren laughed and said, "Second Master is talking nonsense again. Yangzhou and Beijing are more than a thousand miles apart. How can you know Miss Lin?"

Baoyu: "You don't understand. Although some people have never met, their hearts are interlinked. Sister Lin and I are such people."
