Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 271: Can we give them to them? Will it teach them bad things?

"If I don't have to raise him, why don't you?" Jia Min retorted behind her.

Lin Daiyu stopped what she was doing, turned around and said mysteriously to Jia Min,

"Mom, do you know overseas?"

"I tell you, there is more overseas!"

"If all overseas lands were connected, you would have endless land to cultivate."

"There are so many people to use." As she said this, Lin Daiyu's eyes sparkled.

Jia Min snorted, "Why don't you go to heaven? There is Chang'e there."

"Girls have all kinds of wild thoughts all the time."

"Can you make a handkerchief?"

Lin Daiyu lowered her head and smiled, and replied softly, "Mother, this flower you embroidered has been around for a long time."

"I'm not learning from you, am I?"

"It's enough if I can embroider one handkerchief in my lifetime."

Jia Min was so angry that she put down the embroidery frame in her hand and stopped embroidering.

Change it tomorrow.

Lin Daiyu returned to her room with a smile.

Halfway through, Yongan came up to me and asked, "Sister, are you telling the truth?"

“There are still overseas?”

Lin Daiyu looked at him in confusion, "Yes! What? You still want to expand your territory?"

Yongan chuckled and quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, I'm just curious."

……

When she returned to her room, Lin Daiyu saw Qingwen had also returned.

While Lin Daiyu was taking off her hairpins and rings, she asked, "How is it?"

"How did your cousin and his wife deal with it?"

Qingwen said with gratitude, "Thank you, Miss, for temporarily settling them down."

"It was those two brothers who pretended to be yamen runners who placed us there." Qingwen added.

Lin Daiyu suddenly stopped and said, "Qingwen, tell me the whole process again."

"Why did you suddenly think of getting two yamen runners?"

Qingwen was stunned, wondering: "Wasn't it you who arranged it, young lady?"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu looked normal, she continued:

"I originally called the guards who usually followed me and went straight to Lai Mama."

"Who knew that just as I left the house, two people dressed in yamen uniforms came and asked to go with me."

Qingwen recalled, "They asked my two guards to go to the shop to meet them."

"The two men in yamen uniforms went straight to Lai Ma's house. I thought it was arranged by the young lady."

"It is to avoid exposing the young lady's identity."

"So I went along with it." At this point, Qingwen looked at Lin Daiyu's face. She was still calm, and she continued,

"This scene really frightened Lai Mama. She thought I had hooked up with someone more powerful now."

"I cooperated very well and gave my cousin and his wife their indentures."

"I also went to Rong Xi Tang to rescue people."

"Then we left Lai's house in a very ostentatious manner and went all the way to the shop."

"There's already a doctor guarding the shop."

Qingwen finished her words in surprise and gratitude. Lin Daiyu frowned.

It seems that there is a white glove behind the scenes who always interferes in my affairs.

What is the purpose of this?

A relative of a maid is worth all their efforts.

Is this a kind-hearted person or someone with ulterior motives?

I have no privacy at all.

Thinking of this, she immediately reminded Qingwen, "Qingwen, next time something like this happens, you must ask me."

"How can there be so many free good things in the world?"

Upon hearing this, Qingwen nodded hurriedly, and in her heart she felt a little regretful for her recklessness. What if he was a bad guy?

"Okay, don't think about it."

Lin Daiyu saw Qingwen was still thinking hard.

Then he changed the subject and asked, "How are you going to arrange for your cousin and his wife in the future?"

Qingwen was stunned, and said with a bitter face, "Miss, they were implicated by me this time, and I saved them."

"I can't control them anymore. My cousin is a drunkard and lazy."

"My cousin's wife is even more casual."

To be honest, Qingwen had been talked about a lot in the past for having such a weird relative.

Now this cousin has cooking skills and a wife.

If they can stand up and live, otherwise I can't save them.

Seeing Qingwen's sad face, Lin Daiyu could guess that whoever has such a relative will be unlucky.

If you are unwilling to break off the relationship, you will be sucked dry for the rest of your life.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu's face tightened, "Qingwen, I have a place to go, I wonder if you are willing to let me go?"

When Qingwen heard that she had a place to go, she nodded hurriedly, "Miss, I'm not reluctant to leave."

"As long as I have something to eat, that's all."

"Or just eat half full and not starve to death."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "That's not the case. Not only do you need to eat enough, but you can also use your special talents."

"We are going to provide porridge on the farm, so let your cousin make it!"

"Your cousin's wife, please help me look after those orphans and adopt some of them."

After hearing this, Qingwen was stunned: "Miss, my cousin's wife is of such a character, can she take care of a child?"

"Won't it lead the child astray?"

Lin Daiyu's eyes were filled with smiles. "Let's give it a try! Maybe with a large group of children around me, I'll change."

"This is what I asked you first, are you willing to give it up?"

"It's hard work on the farm. Every day I have to deal with refugees and farmers."

"If you don't do it well, I will really send someone to teach you a lesson."

With such a thorough arrangement, how could Qingwen not be grateful? When would her cousin and his wife ever be treated as decent people?

Qingwen's limbs were trembling, and she wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but she remembered that the young lady didn't like people to kowtow.

The gratitude is buried deep in my heart, growing thicker and thicker, and it will be difficult to repay it in this lifetime.

"Thank you Miss, feel free to beat me up!"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "In that case, you should urge them to recover from their injuries as soon as possible."

……

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and the snow was falling heavier and heavier.

The Jia family gathered together and opened the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. Even Jia Jing, who had been fooling around with the Taoists in the Taoist temple, had to come back to preside over the ceremony.

Jia She reported that he was sick and could not leave the house, so naturally he could not come.

After the ancestor worship was over, the Ning and Rong families bowed to the eldest grandmother, Jia Mu, according to their seniority.

Then they all bowed to each other, and after that, all the men left.

In the Rongqing Hall of the Jia family, Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. You, Wang Xifeng and others discussed the arrangements for the Empress' birthday on the first day.

As usual, each family gave a little more gifts, after all, it was said that the Empress had been in the palace these days and her life had been better.

Mrs. Wang also smiled, and the ladies sat and chatted.

"I heard that some thatched houses in the suburbs of Beijing were crushed." Seeing that Lady Jia was a little tired, Youshi started the conversation first.

"The head of the village who sent New Year's goods to my family before the New Year has to say that due to the snowstorm, the production this year is a little less."

Naturally, no one responded to this complaint. Wang Xifeng sneered twice and interrupted Youshi's words.

"Sister-in-law, it's not nice to say this in this year."

"This is not the right time to cry poor."

Yu Shi quickly came to her senses and changed the topic.

"I heard that the Lin family in Zhuangzi is giving out porridge. I mean, should we do the same?"

"Otherwise, all the labor and fame will go to the Lin family."

Madam Wang sneered, "You've gone through so much trouble, is it just for this?"

"We all know about this."

"On the first day of the new year, I will donate more money to the temple and Taoist temple in the name of the goddess."

"This heavy snow is arranged by God. The best strategy is to pray to God that it will stop soon."
