"He went with his father to talk to Eldest Brother and Second Brother. Jin 'en has grown up after all. It's not appropriate for him to come to the inner courtyard. Moreover, after seeing Second Brother yesterday, that child is just like his father. He's a bookworm. When he knew that he would be able to see his Second Uncle today, he made a fuss early in the morning, wanting to discuss knowledge with his Second Uncle. Master and I went with him. We'll see him in a while. "
Jia Min looked at the girls at the side and frowned.
Although Jin 'en was relatives with these people — no, there was one among them who wasn't considered a relative. However, these children were already over eight years old. How could they be in the same room? Although there were elders here, if any rumors were to spread — those meddlesome people outside wouldn't care what you did at that time.
Mother Jia was a little unhappy that Jin 'en didn't come to see her first. She still had the intention of marrying Tanchun or Xichun over. Since Daiyu wasn't around now, it would be good if Tanchun or Xichun married Jin' en and gave birth to the next head of the Lin family.
However, now that she had finally seen Min 'er, although she was unhappy, it wasn't the time to express it.
Jia Min's mother immediately introduced the Three Springs and Xue Baochai to Jia Min and Daiyu with a loving smile. When facing the Three Springs, Jia Min praised them and gave them gifts one by one. Even Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Lan, who didn't come, prepared gifts and had their mothers or sisters deliver them on their behalf.
However, when she introduced Xue Baochai, something happened.
Actually, no one knew that ever since the day Jia Min entered the capital, she would have a dream every night. In her dream, she dreamed that Jin 'en was ill and couldn't be saved. She also died from excessive grief.
At that time, she still trusted her mother very much. Therefore, for the sake of Yu 'er's future, she begged Master to send Yu' er to her mother to be educated. However, how did her mother treat Yu 'er in her dream? In the end, she actually made Yu' er write a poem, "Three hundred and sixty days in a year, wind knives and frost swords threaten."
Although she knew that it was just a dream after waking up, Jia Min always had a feeling that everything was real. Therefore, although she knew that there was still Xue Baochai at home, when Jia Min prepared a gift, she deliberately prepared one less. She didn't forget how Xue Baochai stepped on her Yu 'er to raise her value in the dream.
"I actually didn't know that there was such a beautiful person in Mother's place. It's just that … I actually don't know if this is Big Brother's girl or Second Brother's girl. Why has Mother never mentioned her before?"
Jia Min hated this First Young Lady Xue, who was known to be the most elegant and virtuous woman, to the point that her teeth itched.
She, a mere merchant girl, actually dared to make my Yu 'er kneel, and even wanted to interrogate Yu' er. Ptui — — She's not worthy.
"This is the daughter of your second aunt's younger sister. Her name is Baochai!"
"I'm sorry for my rudeness. I actually made a mistake! What a stunning beauty. I wonder which family's daughter is she? "
"She's the daughter of the Xue family, a royal merchant."
"So it's a merchant girl."
Although Jia Min's words were soft, everyone in the room heard it.
San Chun didn't react. Perhaps at this moment, they still didn't know what it meant. After all, no one in the Jia Family had ever taught them these things.
However, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue clenched their hands, looking very angry. Even Mrs. Jia frowned. She didn't know why her daughter was so against Xue Baochai.
If Yu 'er hadn't been engaged, she might have thought that it was for her precious jade. But now she really didn't understand. Although she didn't like the Xue Family, she still valued the Xue Family's money very much.
After Jia Min finished speaking, she just sat there and played with her handkerchief with a smile. She didn't mention anything about the gift for Xue Baochai, as if she didn't exist.
Although Daiyu also felt strange about Jia Min's behavior, she didn't show anything. Since Daiyu entered the Jia Family, she had always been dignified, generous, noble and elegant. Her bearing directly suppressed Xue Baochai.
No matter who she faced, Daiyu always had a smile on her face. Although she was polite, everyone could see her alienated attitude.
Now that she saw Xue Baochai make a fool of herself, Daiyu's perfect expression didn't change. She naturally wouldn't speak to such a person. What was she doing? Giving her a way out?
"Where did Baochai go? Why don't I see Baochai? "
In the end, Mrs. Jia had no choice but to smooth things over.
"Baochai was dragged to the study by his father early in the morning to do his homework. At this time, he should be with Mr. Lin and the others!"
Hearing that Baochai was with Lin Ruhai and the others, Mrs. Jia didn't know what to say for a moment. Should she let Baochai stay with Lin Ruhai so that Lin Ruhai could guide Baochai more, or should she let Baochai meet Min 'er and Yu' er?
In the end, Jia Baochai came to meet Jia Min, Daiyu, and Jinxuan before dinner. Of course, Lin Ruhai, Jia She, and Jia Zheng were with her.
When she saw Jia Baochai, who was dressed like a red packet, Daiyu didn't have that kind of "familiar" feeling. After all, she wasn't the real Lin Daiyu, nor was she that Fairy Jiang Zhu.
She secretly sized up Jia Baochai. He looked like a human, but he felt like a trap. He didn't have Situ Lang's elegance and handsomeness.
Jin 'en had come over with Jia Baoyu. After seeing Jia Baoyu greet them, he leaned into Mother Jia's arms and twisted around like a fried dough twist. Jin' en and Jin Xuan felt as if their worldview had been destroyed in an instant.
When Mother Jia saw Jin En, she immediately pulled him over. Her strength and speed really didn't seem like that of an old lady. She hugged Jin En and began to massage him. Daiyu, who was standing to the side, saw Jin En's expression as if the sky had fallen and couldn't help but secretly laugh. Fortunately, she covered it with a handkerchief. Otherwise, the cold and haughty temperament she had played the entire day would have been ruined.
Following that, Mrs. Jia introduced Jia Min and Daiyu to Jia Baochai. However, when she introduced Daiyu, Jia Baochai looked at Daiyu in a daze.
When Daiyu saw Jia Baochai's expression, she frowned impatiently. Anyone with a discerning eye could see Daiyu's impatience, but Jia Baochai looked at Daiyu like a fool.
"I've seen this little sister before."
When Jia Baochai said that, the Lin family's expressions all changed.
Mrs. Jia didn't seem to care. She just smiled and teased Jia Baochai.
"Nonsense again. Your little sister has always lived in Yangzhou. Where have you seen her?"
When Jia Baochai heard Mrs. Jia's words, he replied with conviction, "Although I haven't seen her before, I might have seen her in my dreams. Today, I'll just treat it as a reunion with an old friend."
Jia Baochai's words about an old friend and some dream made the Lin family's teeth itch with hatred.
After all, their Yu 'er was already engaged. What did Jia Baochai mean by this? This was considered flirting! He was trying to ruin their Yu 'er's reputation!
"Little sister, do you have jade?"
Jia Baochai didn't seem to know how to read people's expressions. No — it should be that no one in the Jia family knew how to read people's expressions.
Daiyu rubbed her face with her handkerchief. When she heard Jia Baochai's words, she just raised her eyebrows slightly.
"It's just jade. Which family like ours doesn't have a few boxes of jade at home?"
Daiyu really couldn't be bothered to talk to him.
"Little sister, do you have a word? I have a word here that is very suitable for little sister. I think only — "
"Hmph —"
This time, the first one to get angry was Jin En. With a bang, a teacup fell at Jia Baochai's feet.
"Cousin, what do you mean by this? Are you cursing my parents to die early, or are you trying to ruin my sister's reputation? "
It was very impolite for Jin En to throw a teacup in the Jia family, but Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were full of anger now, so they didn't say anything.
In Lin Ruhai's opinion, the Jia family was now an empty shell. They really thought that they were still the Duke Public House of the past.
All these years, the Jia family had never stopped scheming against their family. Even Lin Ruhai was already annoyed. In addition, now that Jia Baochai was completely flirting with Yu 'er, Jin En throwing a teacup in their family was already light.
In addition, Situ Lang was his disciple and son-in-law. He had personally raised him since he was young. Lin Ruhai had long treated Situ Lang as his own son. Jia Baochai's words just now were also a great insult to Situ Lang.
After all, Daiyu was now Situ Lang's fiancée. If other men wanted to give their fiancée a word, which man could stand it?
Jin En was good-looking. Jia Baochai liked good-looking people the most, so he still had a good impression of Jin En. Now that he saw Jin En angry, he didn't react for a moment and was stunned there.
When Mother Jia saw that Baochai was stunned, her heart ached. She immediately pulled Baochai into her arms and comforted him. When she looked at the Lin family again, her eyes no longer had the kindness just now.
"It's just a joke between children —"
"Mother, Jin En is three years younger than Baochai! Now it seems that mother still has something to do here. Then we will go back first. "
After all, Lin Ruhai was the son-in-law. He wasn't easy to talk to in the Jia family. However, now that Jia Min had spoken, he naturally wouldn't object.
Moreover, the Jia family dared to humiliate his Yu 'er. It seemed that he had to go and have a good talk with Brother Su tomorrow.
Sure enough, after a few days, the Rongguo Manor was impeached in the imperial court.
Jia She and Jia Zheng were impeached to varying degrees. However, the Emperor still remembered their old relationship and only demoted Jia She's title and Jia Zheng's position in the end.
Even so, the people of the Jia Family were still shocked.
Mother Jia was the one who understood the most in the Jia family. She also knew that her family didn't have real power now. What they relied on was the Emperor's old relationship. That was why she tried so hard to send Yuan Chun into the palace. That was why she pretended not to see Madam Wang's tricks. That was why she tried everything to pull the Lin family.
