After the poisoning incident, she could tell that Min 'er blamed her in her heart. Therefore, in order not to lose the Lin family, she thought of the marriage between the two Yu' er's in order for the Lin family to help her Baoyu wholeheartedly in the future.
No matter what, Min 'er was her daughter and she knew her well. Besides, she was also a mother. Therefore, she thought that after she wrote a letter to Min' er and told her that she would protect Yu 'er and that Yu' er could be the head of the family after marrying into the family, Min 'er would definitely agree. However, after such a long time, Min' er always talked about Lin Ruhai and refused to agree. In the end, she even hurriedly arranged a marriage for Lin Daiyu.
She was well aware of Lin Ruhai's love for Daiyu. As long as Daiyu married Baoyu, the Lin family would fully support Baoyu for Daiyu's sake. At that time, her Baoyu and the Jia family would naturally recover their former glory.
However —
In the end, the Lin family actually arranged for Daiyu to be betrothed to such a poor family who didn't even agree to her proposal. Her Baoyu was handsome and she loved girls the most. He was born with a jade in his mouth and was born extraordinary. In the future, he would be a good match for even a princess. However, the Lin family didn't like such a good Baoyu.
Every time she thought of the Lin family's behavior, Mother Jia was so angry that her liver hurt.
Especially when the Lin family actually only informed the Jia family after arranging a marriage for Lin Daiyu. They were deliberately guarding against them!
Her original plan at the pier today was to let Min 'er understand that she was still angry and had not forgiven her. However, they were mother and daughter after all. If Min' er had admitted her mistake, she would have forgiven her. However, Min 'er did not give her any face at all. She had really raised this daughter for nothing.
However, for the Jia family, she had to bear with it in the end.
Mother Jia looked at Baoyu, who came to greet her as soon as he came back. Her Baoyu — for her Baoyu, for the Jia family, she, as an old woman, would suffer some grievances!
He only hated that his boss was too disappointing. He only knew how to seek pleasure with those little vixens all day long. If he had the slightest bit of ability, he wouldn't have to endure this anger. At his age, he still had to worry about these things. As expected, the child raised by that damned old woman, how good could he be?
It was a pity that his son was too honest. That was why he was ostracized by his peers. He had talent but had no place to display it. After so many years, he was still a small fifth-rank official.
Wang Xifeng woke up early the next morning and went to greet Mother Jia. After reporting to Mother Jia, she went to the Lin family.
Since Wang Xifeng had already come to the door, Jia Min could only let Wang Xifeng in.
Wang Xifeng did have some skills, especially that mouth of hers that could make a dead person come back to life. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gained Mother Jia's favor.
As soon as she saw Jia Min, she affectionately called her aunt and gave her a gift. Then, she began to talk about how much her family missed her.
Then, when she saw that Jia Min's expression had softened, she began to talk about Mother Jia's request.
"Sigh … I have been away from the capital for many years. Naturally, I miss my mother very much. But our family has just arrived in the capital. After a busy night of tidying up, it was fortunate that Yu 'er had learned from the etiquette instructor hired by Master for many years. With Yu' er's help, I didn't get flustered. It's just that I feel sorry for Yu 'er. She has been weak since she was young. After accompanying me all night, she didn't feel well when she woke up this morning. Now, she can only rest in bed. "
Jia Min didn't forget that her mother had sent her many letters asking her to marry Yu 'er to that Baoyu. She heard that Baoyu was still being raised in the backyard. How could she let Yu' er go to Rongguo's residence without her company?
Besides, Yu 'er was now engaged. How could an engaged girl go to a relative's house all day long?
Wang Xifeng was also a sensible person. Naturally, she understood the meaning of Jia Min's words.
Now that Sister Lin was "resting in bed", she naturally couldn't go to Rongguo's residence as a guest.
"Speaking of which, I have never seen my cousins. Since Cousin Lin isn't feeling well, as her sister-in-law, I shouldn't disturb her rest. However, my two cousins are in the residence. Before coming here today, Old Madam repeatedly asked me to take a good look at them on her behalf. Thinking about how Old Madam has never seen them since they were born, she has always been worried about them. "
Wang Xifeng finally understood. Her good aunt really didn't have any feelings for her maternal family.
Although she didn't understand why, she still had the ability to discern. Otherwise, how could she coax Old Madam into doting on her so much?
But now that Old Madam had spoken, she had to try. Even if it didn't work, she would have something to say when she went back.
Now that it was impossible with Jia Min, she could only try with her two cousins.
In Wang Xifeng's opinion, she could still handle the two children. When the time came, she would say some good words, send a gift, and cry about how much their grandmother missed them. It wouldn't be easy to coax the two children to be willing to go with her family.
When the time came, if the two Lin cousins asked, Jia Min wouldn't be able to stop them anymore!
Otherwise, if this reputation was spread out — —
"Niece-In-Law, you came at a bad time today. The two boys followed Master early in the morning to visit Master's old friends. They are not in the residence now."
The Lin family had just arrived in the capital yesterday. Lin Ruhai went to the palace to meet the Emperor before returning home.
Lin Ruhai was a close official of the Emperor. When he entered the palace yesterday, the Emperor had already told him that he would be the Minister of Rites.
Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with this position. It wouldn't be eye-catching, but it wouldn't be looked down upon either. After all, it was a first-rank official.
Moreover, the Ministry of Rites was responsible for the five rites of Ji, Jia, Jia, Jun, Bin, and Xiong. It was in charge of the national school affairs, the imperial examinations, and the exchanges between vassals and foreign countries.
To be honest, it didn't have much real power. After all, sacrifices and ceremonies could only be held a few times a year. The imperial examinations were major events. However, these were the most likely things to go wrong. With Lin Ruhai's current situation, he didn't want to be involved in these things. He had already thought about the Metropolitan Examinations and Palace Examinations. He would use his disciple and son-in-law — — Situ Lang's participation to ask the Emperor to avoid suspicion and not interfere.
When he was preparing to enter the capital, Lin Ruhai had already decided. In the future, he would protect his wife and daughter well and pave the way for his two sons and son-in-law. He would resign.
After returning from the palace, the Lin family, other than Jinxuan and the other three, including Situ Lang, gathered in Lin Ruhai's study to analyze the current situation in the capital.
Even though they had already investigated a lot of news in the capital before entering the capital, Lin Ruhai's position at that time was too sensitive. They didn't dare to make too many moves. In addition, the various princes were constantly making small moves. They didn't even dare to have too much contact with the capital.
At that time, they weren't sure what position Lin Ruhai would hold after returning to the capital. Some things in the future weren't easy to decide.
Even though they didn't dare to inquire about news in the capital, with Lin Ruhai's position at that time, the other princes had never stopped trying to rope him in. Therefore, there were some things that they didn't need to inquire about. They could more or less guess.
Now that they had confirmed Lin Ruhai's future position — — Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he wouldn't be able to contribute as much as the other five ministries in the fight for the throne. It would save them a lot of effort to rope him in. Presumably, he would be able to live a stable life for a while.
However — —
"Father is an official close to the Emperor. I heard that the Emperor's health is getting worse. In the future — — Father's position will be very awkward! I'm afraid that the one who will take over in the future won't tolerate you! But if Father makes any decision now — — When the time comes, the first one who won't forgive Father will be the Emperor! "
Daiyu remembered that regarding Lin Ruhai's death, many people guessed that he died because of the fight for the imperial power, or because he stood on the wrong side.
Even though Lin Ruhai had returned to the capital now, fate was sometimes so strange. One Day Reincarnation. Even though the Lin family had borrowed Situ Lang's luck and changed a lot, who knew if the heavens would let the Lin family go just like that?
In order to not let herself become an orphan without a father, Daiyu was now trying her best to pull Lin Ruhai onto the "right path".
Lin Daiyu's words made everyone's heart sink.
Now, they were either young or women. The only person they could rely on was Lin Ruhai. If something happened to Lin Ruhai — —
Moreover, Lin Ruhai was their family. Even Situ Lang and the current Lin Daiyu couldn't watch anything happen to Lin Ruhai.
Jia Min was so worried that she shed tears.
She was a woman. Her world was just her backyard. Originally, when they were in Yangzhou, their family was poisoned every two to three days. Later, those people became even more rampant. Master would also be assassinated every few days.
Originally, they thought that it would be better in the capital. Who knew that it would be even more dangerous here.
"Father can't move now, but Brother-in-law and I don't have such a problem. When the time comes, we can also show our family's attitude. Moreover, we are the younger generation. When the time comes, even if someone says something, Father can push it to us. "
