Destiny is determined by God and cannot be reversed without human intervention.
Lin Ruhai finally died in the capital before he could return to his hometown due to illness.
Lin Ruhai's ancestral home was in Suzhou, and he had only been an official in Beijing for a short period of time. He did not have many relatives and friends in Beijing, so his death did not cause much trouble in the capital. Apart from Rongguo Mansion, only several close friends of Lin Ruhai who had received the obituary came to express their condolences.
Naturally, Jia Lian put everything aside and stayed at the Lin Mansion every day, asking for obituaries in advance. He almost did everything himself.
Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and his wife, Mrs. Xing, and others from the Rongguo Mansion came to express their condolences one by one.
Among them, Jia's mother was the most sad. She cried loudly in the mourning hall. She said that she had expected that the two children, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, would not live long. Now, it was not right to leave Daiyu alone and leave her alone. A good parent...
Jia Baoyu also came. However, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others had already discussed with Jia Lian to keep the matter between him and Daiyu from Jia Baoyu for the time being. Therefore, Jia Mu and others prevented Jia Baoyu from coming to Lin's house alone, and they even allowed him to pass. Everyone in the Lin family who was aware of the matter also deliberately did not discuss the matter in front of him.
The Lin family was also thin, and very few in the Jia family knew about this matter. Therefore, Jia Baoyu stayed at the Lin family for a long time, but he didn't hear anything at all.
On this day, Wang Xifeng also packed up and paid condolences to the Lin family.
She is a nosy person who can't stop being busy. Seeing that the Lin family is not enough and everything is handled too simply, she helps organize things inside.
Seeing that Daiyu was slim and weak, he couldn't bear to let her cry in front of the soul for a long time, so he found an excuse and asked Daiyu to rest in a quiet room, while asking for her welfare and caring for her.
Daiyu felt a little nervous since she knew Wang Xifeng was coming. Whenever she saw Wang Xifeng, she couldn't help but feel worried.
Just seeing that Wang Xifeng treated her with the same positive attitude as always made her feel more at ease. While responding to Wang Xifeng's concern in a shallow way, she kept encouraging herself in her heart: Since she acted like this, she couldn't be too petty and make her look down on her.
Others, whether it was Ping'er and others beside Wang Xifeng, or Zijuan and others beside Daiyu, when they saw these two meeting, they all chose to leave, leaving a private space for communication between the two masters.
As a result, Wang Xifeng and Daiyu were soon the only two people left in the quiet room. The two of them sat on the kang, and their words gradually stopped. Update without error@
Daiyu had never experienced such a thing before. She looked up and saw Wang Xifeng looking at her with a red phoenix eye. She felt both shy and nervous. Take a deep breath and get up.
"Second sister-in-law Lian, please drink tea..."
Daiyu wanted to get up and serve tea to Wang Xifeng to relieve the embarrassment.
How could Wang Xifeng agree? He grabbed her hand and asked her to continue sitting. At the same time, she smiled and said, "You still call me sister-in-law?"
Daiyu's face turned red with embarrassment. Her stubborn personality made her unwilling to cooperate with Wang Xifeng in changing her words. She just looked away and said nothing.
With such a shy and silent look, let alone a man, even Wang Xifeng felt envious and couldn't help laughing again: "Look at this look, you can see that when you entered the house, I was right, really You are just like a fairy in the sky, so it’s no wonder that your second brother Lian has been attracted to you since he was a child and has determined to marry you."
Daiyu was embarrassed after hearing this, and then she couldn't help but wonder whether Wang Xifeng's words were meant to mock her.
But I heard Wang Xifeng immediately say: "You don't need to be nervous about me. You have known me for so many years. Although the servants in the house used to say how powerful I am, but in all fairness, I treated you and the sisters at home in those years." how?"
Upon hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly said: "Sister Feng has always treated us very well. At home, apart from the old lady, Sister Feng treats me the best. I always remember my sister's kindness."
Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, "Good sister, if you can call me sister, I will be satisfied.
You don’t know that because of the matter between you and your second brother Lian, the old lady at home and your second brother Lian took turns suppressing and admonishing me, as if they were afraid that I would bully you after you entered the door.
But they also don’t think about it, how could I be such an unreasonable person?
If someone else wants to enter my door, for the sake of the peace of the family and the reputation of your second brother Lian, I will definitely check them carefully. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 437 The first confrontation between Wang and Lin
How can anyone be allowed to come in under scrutiny?
But who is the sister? Speaking of which, my sister is far ahead of me in terms of family background, education and appearance.
You are willing to marry your second brother Lian. It is a blessing that your second brother Lian and I have cultivated over several lifetimes. How can I be unhappy?
The only thing I feel is that I feel so wronged to you.
Therefore, you really don’t need to be restrained in front of me. I remember that you were very sharp-tongued and unforgiving in front of me before, hahaha, so, how you were in front of me before, you are still the same now?
When you pass through the door in the future, you and I will treat each other as sisters. If you respect me, call me sister. If you dislike me for being vulgar and ignore me, I won't blame you.
In short, I must treat you as my own sister. What I can't say to others is that your second brother Lian is now more capable of doing things outside. His horizons are wider than before. He knows more people and naturally has more confidante.
Their men are most unable to withstand temptation. If it was just an ordinary hunt for flowers and willows, that would be fine. I was afraid that I might make a mistake and offend the wrong people, which would delay my future.
My sister is a very smart person, so she can understand what I mean.
It's a shame that I'm a loser, and your second brother Lian is not willing to listen to my advice. You are the only one who is knowledgeable and good-looking, and your second brother Lian cares about you so much. I think if you try to persuade him, he will definitely listen to your advice.
Good girl, maybe you understand all my painstaking efforts? "
Wang Xifeng's words were spoken with great emotion and from the heart, which even moved Daiyu.
Although Daiyu is young, she is extremely talented. Although she is not very sympathetic to some of Wang Xifeng's words, she can tell that Wang Xifeng wants to make friends and win her over, and even his words are a little cautious, even to the point of trying to please her. meaning.
This made Daiyu feel relieved.
What she was most worried about before was that Wang Xifeng would treat her coldly, and she really didn't know what to do.
After all, she had also stayed in Rongguo Mansion for many years and knew that Wang Xifeng was known as a jealous person.
Now, whether Wang Xifeng really said this or pretended to appease her, at least the two of them would not be too embarrassed when they got along.
Anyway, her willingness to marry Jia Lian was all for the sake of Lian's second brother and had nothing to do with anything else.
She never thought that after marrying Jia Lian, she would want to please Wang Xifeng, let alone be equal to Wang Xifeng.
Her idea was that if Wang Xifeng was good to her after entering the house in the future, she would be good to her. If Wang Xifeng didn't like her, then she wouldn't have any contact with her.
If Wang Xifeng wants to bully her, she is not afraid. She gave her sincerity to Jia Lian and believed that Jia Lian would protect her. If Jia Lian can't protect her, or changes his mind and doesn't want to protect her, the worst she can do is follow her parents and leave brother Lian alone to regret it.
Of course, this was just Daiyu's worst-case scenario. She believed in Jia Lian. Otherwise, she would not have wronged herself to this point.
And she also believes that Jia Lian can control Wang Xifeng. This can be proved by the fact that Wang Xifeng doesn't take it seriously now and only dares to talk to her so carefully. @精品\/书馆*First update~~
Therefore, Daiyu thought about it and felt that she should not leave everything to Jia Lian alone, even though she was used to being cared for by Jia Lian. If Wang Xifeng could be serious with her, she would be happy to have a good relationship with Wang Xifeng.
In this way, second brother Lian will be relieved a lot...
So he secretly took a breath, stood up and said to Wang Xifeng with a blushing face: "What Sister Feng said is too embarrassing, I, I am not as good as you said.
Moreover, everyone knows that the second brother Lian cares most about Sister Feng. For the sake of Sister Feng, the second brother Lian even refused the Queen Mother's marriage offer. This shows that the second brother Lian treats Sister Feng sincerely. "
Although the remarks were taken at random, Daiyu couldn't help but feel a little sad as she said it.
After all, Brother Lian and Sister Feng are the married couple...
Finally, she had considered this issue many times in her mind, and since Daiyu didn't want to show her timidity in front of Wang Xifeng, she quickly made a decision.
"Sister Feng, don't worry. Not to mention those years, the good thing about Sister Feng's treatment of me is that I will marry you in the future. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 437 The first confrontation between Wang and Lin
The door of my sister's house is naturally dedicated to my sister. I only hope that my sister will take pity on me and treat me as she did back then. My sister is here to kowtow to her..."
Daiyu is a very emotional person, and her actions will follow her emotions.
She despises the etiquette of these kings, ministers, wives, and concubines. After all, living in this world has been affected to some extent.
Anyway, she had already prepared herself to be inferior to Wang Xifeng. Now that Wang Xifeng can achieve such a posture, why can't she, Lin Daiyu, let go?
A stubborn voice in her heart told her that she would only kneel down today to show her attitude. It would be fine if Wang Xifeng accepted her. If Wang Xifeng could not sincerely accept her, and there would be conflicts in the future, it would not be regarded as her disrespecting the royal family and being unreasonable.
Moreover, I didn't do this just to please Sister Feng. Everything was just for Brother Lian. He was so good to me, and I was just one of the rewards.
Although the construction in her heart was enough to support her in bowing, when her knees really bent, her tears still fell like a waterfall, constantly falling into her eyes.
Wang Xifeng was happy when Daiyu said that Jia Lian cared about her the most, and even used the incident last year as an argument.
That incident was something she would remember and be proud of for a lifetime. She could smile every time she thought about it, let alone hearing it from Daiyu's mouth.
Suddenly, Daiyu changed the topic and wanted to kowtow to her. Although it was nothing to kneel down to the main wife's grandmother in the side room, Wang Xifeng knew how much Jia Lian, Jia Mu and others cared for Daiyu in their hearts.
She didn't want these two to bully Daiyu before she even came in!
It happened that her hands had been holding Daiyu's little hand firmly, and now she lifted up and pulled Daiyu into her arms, and said with a smile: "You said it well, why did you suddenly do this?
Didn't I say that I really treat you as my sister, how can I let you kneel down to me?
Moreover, your second brother Lian has told me that in the future, you will not be an ordinary side chamber, but will imitate the ancient times and marry you as a concubine. In terms of status, you are no different from me, so you don’t have to kneel to me. .
Or, you know that the old lady and your second brother Lian feel sorry for you, so you do this deliberately so that the old lady and your second brother Lian can teach me a lesson? "
Wang Xifeng said, deliberately staring at Daiyu in her arms with a playful look. @精品\/书馆*First update~~
Daiyu's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly shook her head: "No, no, I just... Sister Feng treats me sincerely, and I treat Sister Feng sincerely, so please don't worry, Sister Feng, I will definitely treat you well in the future." To serve you..."
After all, Daiyu was still too young. Although she had her own plans in her heart, her external methods were far inferior to Wang Xifeng's, and she was subdued in just a few strokes.
Wang Xifeng laughed, took out her handkerchief, wiped away her tears with Daiyu, and sighed: "Stop saying that, I couldn't be happier to have a girl like you. Look at this pitiful person. Look, stop crying, otherwise when your second brother Lian sees you later, I will jump into the Yellow River and I won’t be able to wash myself off.”
Daiyu felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do. One was because of Wang Xifeng's words, and the other was because she was held tightly in Wang Xifeng's arms.
Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian are the same age, only a few months younger. Therefore, after staying in Wang Xifeng's warm and mature arms, after the initial embarrassment, there was an unspeakable sense of satisfaction and peace of mind.
She suddenly thought that when her mother was around, she would often hold her like this.
It has been many years since I felt such an embrace.
Just thinking about this, Daiyu gave up the idea of breaking away and thought to herself, it would be great if Sister Feng could really be like Brother Lian and always treat her sincerely...
Just when the eldest sister and the little sister were testing each other and talking to each other, Jia Lian strolled in.
Seeing Daiyu, who was wearing filial piety clothes and belt, looking even more petite and lovely, being held in Wang Xifeng's arms for comfort, Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Yes, what I told you is right. I just stayed with you for a while, and someone came to find you in a hurry. He must be afraid that I will bully you or offend you."
When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Lian, she said with a smile. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 437 The first confrontation between Wang and Lin
While deliberately hugging Daiyu tighter. Her hands deliberately touched Daiyu's shoulders and face, as if she wanted to see if Jia Lian would be jealous.
Daiyu was already very embarrassed by Wang Xifeng's words, and could not bear Wang Xifeng's caress, which was similar to Jia's mother, so she hurriedly broke away from Wang Xifeng's arms, walked aside, and poured a cup of tea for Jia Lian.
After Jia Lian sat down, he took away Wang Xifeng's teacup and poured another one over.
Jia Lian sat on the chair next to him, took a sip of Daiyu's tea, and then said with a smile: "I heard that you came over and helped me arrange and take care of the things inside. Thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, stop saying that, I'm just giving random instructions, thank God if you don't say I'm causing you any trouble.
Besides, even if there is any merit, I did not take action because of your actions, but because of Sister Lin's actions.
Why, Sister Lin hasn't even entered the door yet, you treat this place as your home, and you are not afraid of spreading the word. Others will misunderstand you and say that you marry our Sister Lin. It doesn't sound like you want to take care of Sister Lin, but like you are coveting the Lin family. Like a career. "
Wang Xifeng knew Jia Lian quite well. Seeing his admiration for her, she also knew that it was not because he was helping her, but because she was close to Daiyu!
Feeling unhappy, I deliberately told this somewhat sensitive matter face to face in a joking way, and at the same time looked at Daiyu's expression.
Jia Lian was a little unhappy.
This outspoken girl sometimes makes you want to spank her.
Fortunately, Daiyu is a pure person who only cares about her inner intuitive feelings and not about external things.
Otherwise, if it were another woman, hearing Sister Feng's words, she might really be suspicious.
But he couldn't let Sister Feng sow the relationship between him and Daiyu, and hummed: "Not to mention that my uncle is an elder, and he has helped me and taken care of me for so many years. So in my heart, I have long regarded my uncle as my elder. Close relatives and elders.
He has no children, and he treats me like his own son, so I should be the one to die for him.
As for the Lin family's property, before my uncle died, he made a will long ago and divided the Lin family's property in detail. I will naturally take over the property in accordance with his will. There is no such thing as coveting it.
You, a prodigal woman who is obsessed with money all day long, hides evil in your own heart, and always thinks of others with a villain's heart. "
Jia Lian said, waving to Daiyu, as if he wanted to care about her.
Wang Xifeng was very angry after hearing what Jia Lian said. Jia Lian just argued, so why did he also launch a personal attack?
Seeing that Daiyu turned a blind eye to Jia Lian's beckoning, she felt very happy. After glaring at Jia Lian, she actually burst into laughter.
Naturally, Daiyu was inconvenient to approach Jia Lian in front of Wang Xifeng. Moreover, she still remembered that Jia Lian kissed her little hand by lying to her on the pretense of giving her something.
So these days, I feel a little defensive.
As for what Wang Xifeng said about Jia Lian coveting her Lin family property, Daiyu didn't take it to heart at all.
Not to mention that she didn't think Jia Lian would be greedy for her Lin family's property. After all, Jia Lian's ability to make money was even envied by the old lady and her aunt.
Furthermore, she doesn't care about the Lin family's fortune. These matters were arranged by her father. Since he had entrusted Brother Lian with full authority during his lifetime, it was naturally Brother Lian's business and had nothing to do with her.
On the contrary, when she heard Jia Lian's jokes about Wang Xifeng, it was interesting, and when she saw that Wang Xifeng was not angry, but smiled so heartily, she smiled a little for no reason.
Perhaps her choice was indeed the right one. Brother Lian and sister-in-law Lian are both very good people. It must be interesting to live with them. .
