Chapter 940: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (103)
"She chose to betray Jia Baoyu and Lady Wang, and then competed for Wang Xifeng's man."
Little Pot said with a smile, "She is destined to face the revenge of the two."
With her intelligence, it's impossible that she didn't think of this.
Now that they've made this preparation, let's see who comes out on top in their struggle.
"That's true."
……
Regardless of what methods Xue Baochai uses to seduce Jia Lian in the days to come.
At least at this time, not many people knew about her little scheme.
Most importantly, the eldest branch of the Jia family is about to hold a wedding.
Just after the Lantern Festival, the entire Rongguo Mansion began to bustle with activity.
Jia Cong's status is different now.
Although his wife's status wasn't high, she was still the daughter of a wealthy businessman.
Especially Su Nuoyun's father.
They sent another 20,000 silver notes, just to make their daughter's wedding more lively.
It can be said that any problem that can be solved with money.
Su's father immediately threw silver at him.
Others might have felt humiliated.
However, the eldest branch of the Jia family would not do that, since they were all people who had experienced poverty.
Money is more practical than face.
Most importantly, money can accomplish many things.
They would be even happier if they could handle their own affairs without having to spend their own money.
Based on this point.
It would be a wonderful thing if the two families could become in-laws.
Jia Cong got married on the nineteenth day of the second month.
The invitation has been sent to the Duke of Jin's residence.
Li Siqi asked curiously, "Father, will you go?"
"It wouldn't be good not to go."
Lin Ruhai had a headache. "If I go, I'll have to face people I don't want to see."
"I'm sorry, Father."
Li Siqi smiled and said, "Otherwise, Father, you could find an excuse to stay in the palace. As long as you don't have time to go there, I believe the Jia family won't say anything."
"This method is both good and bad."
Lin Ruhai gently shook his head, "Whether it's when I first arrived in the capital or around New Year's Eve."
As a father, I never set foot in the Jia family.
Now the invitations are being delivered to your door.
The Jia family is celebrating another happy occasion.
If I, as your father, don't show up soon, I'm afraid I'll really have a hard time explaining myself."
The emperor governs the world with filial piety.
No matter how bad the Jia family is, they are still his late wife's maternal family.
Besides, with Grandmother Jia still alive, it's impossible for him to avoid visiting her even once, no matter how hard he tries.
If he were truly so heartless and ruthless, the Emperor would probably feel uncomfortable if he found out.
Lin Ruhai dared not challenge the Emperor's bottom line, for everyone knew the Emperor's suspicious and thoughtful nature.
"Go ahead."
Xu Ruxin quietly took over the conversation, "Our family is going to Rongguo Mansion."
Those who need to be seen still need to be seen.
"Madam is right."
Lin Ruhai nodded. "It's just attending a wedding banquet, nothing important."
"it is good."
Li Siqi naturally agreed.
Since they all live in the capital, no matter how much they try to avoid the Jia family, they will inevitably run into each other one day.
Besides, no matter how many faults Grandmother Jia had...
She was the late Mrs.'s biological mother.
Everything was done for Jia Min's sake.
Time flies.
Soon it came time for the eldest son of the Jia family to be married.
This time, Lin Ruhai personally led the entire family on the trip.
Upon receiving the news, everyone in the Jia family showed expressions of anticipation.
In particular, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and others personally came out to greet them.
That's absolutely the highest level of treatment.
Xu Ruxin and Li Siqi's sedan chairs went directly to the second gate.
Upon alighting from the sedan chair, they discovered that not only were Madam Xing, Madam Wang, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng present, but also others.
Lady You and Qin Keqing from Ningguo Mansion also came.
The fact that all these people came out to greet them at the same time was the greatest respect one could give to the Lin family.
Li Siqi knew very well why these women were here.
The main reason is that Xu Ruxin is the mistress of the Duke of Jin's mansion.
This identity prevents these people from doing anything shameful.
So he quickly led the mother and her two children to pay their respects to Grandmother Jia.
"Greetings to the old lady."
Xu Ruxin was dignified and spoke with respect.
Even if Grandmother Jia wanted to find fault, it would be impossible.
Besides, she was waiting for Lin Ruhai to come over.
Naturally, they wouldn't embarrass Xu Ruxin at this time.
"No need to be polite!"
Grandmother Jia nodded with a smile, her gaze falling on Lin Dingxi.
Seeing a small face that resembled Lin Ruhai by six or seven points.
Her eyes flickered a few times, and she said cheerfully, "Xi-ge'er is already four years old, isn't he?"
She's so cute.
"Reporting to Madam, Xi-ge'er is indeed four years old."
Xu Ruxin smiled and responded, then instructed the little girl beside her, "Xi'er, quickly greet the old lady."
"Yes!"
Lin Dingxi's adorable, sweet voice rang out.
The little girl bowed respectfully to Grandmother Jia with a serious expression, saying, "Xi'er greets the old lady."
"Xi-ge'er is such a good boy!"
Seeing the adorable little guy, Grandmother Jia's smile became more genuine. "We're all family."
"Xi-ge'er, you'll come over with your sister to play from now on."
"Yes, old lady!"
Lin Dingxi, who had taken the "Enlightenment Pill," was very intelligent.
Despite being only three years old, he can sense the kindness and malice others have towards him.
at this time.
Lin Ruhai came over accompanied by Jia She and Jia Zheng.
"Greetings to the old lady."
Lin Ruhai glanced at his wife and son as soon as he entered.
Finding out that the mother and child had not been wronged, I felt relieved.
"Ru Hai is here!"
When Grandmother Jia saw the refined and handsome Lin Ruhai, her feelings were incredibly complex.
His tone revealed a hint of resentment, "You've been quite busy back in the capital."
It's not easy for me to see you.
"Please sit down today and chat with this old woman for a bit."
"Please don't take offense, Madam!"
Lin Ruhai's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was still indifferent, "Ruhai is a mediocre person."
All we can do is try our best to fulfill the tasks assigned to us by the Emperor.
"If I have any free time in the future, I will definitely come to visit the old lady."
"I, an old woman, don't have many days left to live."
Grandmother Jia was so preoccupied with her troubles that she didn't care whether it was appropriate to bring up these topics today.
After all, it was indeed not easy for her to see Lin Ruhai.
Given her age and status, she naturally says whatever comes to mind, "and I don't have any demands on you."
There are some things I want to say to you.
I never imagined that my Min'er would be gone for so long.
Seven or eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Old woman, I'd also like to hear you tell me about Min'er's life in Jiangnan."
Hear these words from her.
Everyone present wore a speechless expression.
While celebrating a happy occasion at home, they kept bringing up people who had passed away prematurely.
This is quite unpleasant for the people in the main house.
However, they cannot prevent talent.
All eyes turned to Lin Ruhai.
He remained calm and composed. "If the old lady wants to hear about Min'er, I will definitely make time to tell you next time I visit."
Forget it this time.
Many guests will be arriving soon.
Ru Hai was preparing to go with his two brothers-in-law to pick up the guests.
To avoid neglecting our distinguished guests.
How could we possibly neglect our distinguished guests?
Grandmother Jia looked astonished.
"Grandma, we didn't know any distinguished guests were coming."
Jia She spoke directly, "Now we need to keep an eye on something, and it would be best if Ru Hai could help me now."
We'll go there now.
