Chapter 30 The Red Chamber (30)(2/3)
Lin Yutong was restless at home. When she heard that Lin Yuyang was back, she quickly went out to greet her.
"How?" Lin Yutong asked hurriedly.
"Okay." Lin Yuyang replied simply.
Others don’t know what the siblings are fighting, but Lin Yutong feels relieved.
"Hurry up and eat, you're so hungry." Lin Yutong pulled her brother back to the house, "The elbows stewed with ham today taste great..."
Lin Yuyang nodded and agreed. There was nothing that was not as good as his taste when his sister cooked.
After dinner, Lin Yuyang briefly said the matter. He didn't ask about his age and hid the matter that the emperor wanted to match. One reason was that the emperor did not say it clearly. Two reason was that his father was not here. Three reason was that his sister was afraid of his dreams.
Seeing that Lin Yutong was relieved, Lin Yuyang ordered Lin Ping to find someone appropriate, send a message to Lin Ruhai, and hand over the emperor's intentions.
Lin Yutong didn't know all this. She only took care of the business with peace of mind. There were people on the top, and Lin Yutong was not worried about being missed at all.
I've been so busy, and it's already early summer when the garden is built.
After recovering the capital, he left 80,000 taels. After working hard, he only got 50,000 taels, and divided 30,000 taels to the shopkeeper and his staff. Wang Xifeng was able to pay 60,000 taels of silver.
But when the emperor accepted more than one million taels of silver from his family, he would look at Lin Ruhai and his younger brother a little more differently, and he felt that everything was worth it.
After all, during this period, the emperor summoned Lin Yuyang twice. Whether it was because Lin Ruhai had a good job or because his own money had worked, Lin Yutong expressed satisfaction.
What satisfied Lin Yutong even more was that the money she deducted was not a stamped bill, but a silver ingot. It was extremely convenient to use it in this life or the next time travel.
This made me feel at ease.
The garden was built, Lin Yutong lost weight a lot, and Wang Xifeng was even worse than her.
On this day, Wang Xifeng came over and discussed how to use the silver.
Lin Yutong said, "I mean to buy more land and ask someone to take care of it."
"How much money can this get?" Wang Xifeng couldn't help but disdain, but then said, "But your idea is familiar, and no one has told me that."
Of course it is Qin Keqing. The words of dead people are sometimes more useful than living people. If you want her to remember them at this time, I am afraid she will think more.
So he said, "In this case, he is not someone close to you, who will tell you?"
Wang Xifeng was stunned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind. The night when Qin Keqing left, the dream she had. Now, she could not respond to the "very happy event" in her dream. Then she remembered the attribution of "a moment of prosperity, a moment of joy" and "a grand banquet will end".
I suddenly felt my heart beat faster and my blood flowed backwards.
The instructions of a man who has died are very similar to Lin Yutong's hint.
If the dead are not trustworthy, then since Lin Yutong can know about visiting relatives in advance, there must be a source of information. It is unknown whether you know anything else. Otherwise, who would say such unlucky words on a happy day?
If I hadn't been sincere to myself, I wouldn't have missed my voice.
"Is there any explanation?" Wang Xifeng asked anxiously.
Lin Yutong lowered her eyes and said nothing, Wang Xifeng understood. Her face turned pale and she said, "It's still a while. I have to let me make arrangements."
Lin Yutong nodded slightly: "Your hands must be clean. Otherwise, it will be hard to save the gods."
Wang Xifeng stood up and bowed, "Sister and I have a life-saving grace."
Lin Yutong stopped him and said, "Make good relationships more. Maybe it can be used in the future."
Wang Xifeng said goodbye and left in a daze.
Lin Yutong sighed, she was still soft-hearted. Now these are the only ones that can help.
Lin Daiyu came out of the inner room, her eyes were still swollen. "Sister Xie. You've taken the Jia family."
With Fengjie's tens of thousands of taels of silver, she can buy a lot of land and farms. The people in this family will not be trapped in a dirty situation.
Lin Yutong smiled and said nothing. No one could escape the guilty ones. The innocent ones had to give them a chance.
After letting go of this matter in her heart, she enjoyed the short-term prosperity.
On this day, Lin Yu and Yang Mu Shu, Jia Zheng, who had been in trouble, asked someone to come and have a look at the garden together.
Lin Yuyang was summoned by the emperor one after another, and the Jia family naturally took it seriously.
Before leaving, Lin Yutong explained, "If you meet Jia Baoyu, you should be humble. The second master also wants to show off his son by taking the exam. Don't steal the limelight."
"I have never been spiritual in poetry. My sister really can gild my face." Lin Yuyang smiled, not caring, "I just pretend to see the scenery, and I will go for a day."
Here he sent Lin Yuyang out, but Lin Daiyu said, "Baoyu may not be there. He has always been afraid when he sees his second uncle. Besides, a friend of his just now is gone. He is sad."
Lin Yutong said intently that this was afraid of talking about Qin Zhong’s death. So she said, “If you go, you will go. Just do your best. How can you still be sad? Those who follow you are not allowed to persuade you. Don’t worry.”
When Lin Yuyang came back, he sighed: "Then Baoyu is indeed more spiritual than others in poetry. I cannot compare with it. If the second master could not blindly be obsessed with the imperial examination, he would have achieved some success in poetry in a few years. Many famous scholars are not like this. Why bother to be obsessed with walking the same path?"
Lin Yutong said this, but she just smiled. If Jia Baoyu was in the Lin family, with Lin Ruhai's temperament, she would probably be able to cultivate a very unruly famous scholar.
However, Lin Daiyu was worried. Soon after, she stood up and said she would go to the old lady for a walk.
Lin Yutong rarely goes there except for necessary things. Seeing Lin Daiyu going, she just asked the girls to take care of her carefully. However, Lin Yuyang talked about the scenery in the garden. She was also a little fascinated.
But Daiyu took the girl to Jia Mu's place and heard laughter and joy inside.
It turned out that I knew that Jia Baoyu had answered well in front of Jia Zheng, and I was happy. The room was bustling.
Thinking that Xiangyun had never met him this time, he went around Xiangyun's house first. However, he didn't expect that when he lifted the curtain, he saw Shi Xiangyun pulling Jia Baoyu's arm, "Did you ask someone to touch the purse I made for you?"
Jia Baoyu searched it himself, but didn't find it, so he said, "Maybe I didn't bring it today. Why did I get wronged for no reason?"
Unexpectedly, Shi Xiangyun was quick to lift Baoyu's clothes somehow, revealing a delicate purse.
Daiyu looked at it and knew that it was given to Baoyu by herself in her early years. She didn't expect that he cherished it so much. She felt so uncomfortable in her heart.
When Shi Xiangyun saw it, he immediately picked it up and looked through it. When he saw that it was not his needlework, he was immediately annoyed. He took the scissors and cut the half-embedded sachet on his hand.
"What are you doing in sister?" Jia Baoyu was frightened and stopped him and asked.
"Others are daughters, and there is the father who is a high-ranking official. I am also surrounded by my own sisters and brothers. I am the poor lonely girl. People are not as precious as others, and things are not as precious as others." Shi Xiangyun cried and said in a straightforward way.
"If you want to say, just say that I am. It's for what kind of trouble. If someone hears it, it should..." Jia Baoyu stopped immediately after saying halfway.
"Speak for me, say I'm a little bitch." Shi Xiangyun sneered: "It was just saying her words, but now I'm talking about me. I'm not as good as her."
Daiyu was just not sure whether she should go in, but she saw Xiren coming over with a purse, which was what Shi Xiangyun embroidered for Baoyu. Xiren glanced at Daiyu and was blessed with her. Then she hurried in and said, "Miss Yun, this is also blamed for me. I didn't wear it for the second master today."
When Shi Xiangyun saw it, she really wronged her. Before she could tell a word, she saw Baoyu throwing the purse over, "I want to cut it, even this one." After that, she turned around and wanted to leave, but she didn't want to go face to face with Daiyu.
Daiyu smiled and said, "Why did you two start arguing?" As she said that, she took the purse in Xiangyun's hand and said, "What a delicate craft! No one wants it, I will take it away. It will save you from cutting it, which will not only ruin good things, but also ruin others' wishes."
Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun reached out to grab it. Baoyu was quick to grab it again. He stuffed it directly into his arms, "When will I give it to someone for my sisters?"
Shi Xiangyun just didn't speak, but glared at Lin Daiyu and said, "You are poor and poor, but when will you learn to listen to the window?"
Lin Daiyu smiled, not annoyed. When she saw Xiangyun, she saw herself who had passed by and said, "I just heard the old lady looking for Baoyu, so I came over and took a look."
Shi Xiangyun gave up.
As soon as he entered Jia Mu's house, Shi Xiangyun said, "Sister Lin just said that his ancestors were looking for the second brother, but what's wrong."
"It's okay, didn't you say you were playing in your room? Why, Lin Yat-tou is here too." Jia Mu looked behind Shi Xiangyun and saw Daiyu smiling.
"As soon as I entered the yard, I heard my grandmother looking for Baoyu. I thought that I had been here all the way, but I didn't see him on the way. I shouldn't have left the yard and was in Yun Yatou's house. So I went to run for my grandmother." Lin Daiyu sat on the stool on the side and said.
Jia Mu said good things repeatedly. Shi Xiangyun thought to herself, it turned out that she had never lie. She didn't come to listen sincerely.
Lin Daiyu originally wanted to tell Jia Mu and Baoyu what Lin Yuyang heard, but she didn't want everyone to be thinking about it.
Then Yuanyang said, "...I bought twelve little actors and placed them in Lixiangyuan. Fortunately, the concubine of the Xue family moved to the northeast corner a few days ago because of the garden.... My wife beat someone and sent a post to invite a sister-in-law. She was also from a lady from a family, named Miaoyu...I went to buy again..."
Lin Daiyu heard it and felt bored. She got up and quietly retreated.
When I got home, I heard my sister asking the girls to press the watermelon into juice and put it in the well.
When Lin Yutong saw Lin Daiyu coming back, she said, "Why don't you wait for the sun to come back? It's really like this hot day. Go and wash first and change your clothes. You can only eat warm tea, not greedy for coolness."
Lin Daiyu responded, but she didn't feel too long-winded, but became more at ease.
The Jia family's busyness lasted until the end of October of that year, and the Grand View Garden was completely cleaned up. The furnishings and decorations were all purchased one by one.
When buying these things, the Xue family took a lot of money. This is what Wang Xifeng said. It should be impossible to be wrong.
There are also many antique ornaments marked by the Lin family, such as literary and calligraphy. Once the things are taken out, many people feel very embarrassed. If they can be stamped with the Lin family's seal, they are things in the Lin family's private warehouse. There is only one possibility that they can appear in the Jia family, which is that Jia's aunt Jia Min moved back to her parents' home.
If they hadn't really had no money to buy things, with Lin Ruhai's current official position, they would not have dared to put this thing out blatantly.
The Jia family was embarrassed, but Lin Daiyu felt that she had no shame to see her brother and sister.
Lin Yutong felt sorry for her, but Lin Yuyang turned dark.
When my grandfather and grandmother married Jia Min, they chose to close their eyes.
Anyway, no matter what, the interior decoration of the Grand View Garden has been completed. So Jia Zheng submitted a memorial to take Yuanchun to visit his relatives. The day was set on the Lantern Festival.
The Jia family has entered a new round of busyness.
Life is like this, and it is always lost inadvertently. It seems that when a garden was built, Lin Yutong became a graceful girl, and Lin Yuyang was already like a young man.
The Jia family is busy with theirs, and the Lin family still lives their own life while watching the Jia family's life.
Today, the three of them gathered together to talk.
"The master said I can end up, but now I don't know if I want to go back to the south or in the capital for this exam." Lin Yuyang held the tea ceremony.
To be continued...
