Buddha-like Mrs. Lin

Chapter 54

If the ratio is not enough to see, it will be anti-theft,

Please support the genuine version

Wasn't she also unable to see through people?

Thinking back to her previous life, she had said many good things about Rongguo Province and her mother in front of Ruhai and Daiyu...

Jia Min held back her tears.

Although she felt that her daughter's hot-headed decision to snatch her shu sister's marriage because of a ridiculous dream was too stupid, and because of this, she was even more infuriated, Madam Jashi truly loved Jia Min, so she still opened her mouth to persuade her: "Min 'er, you don't have to worry. For a shu son of Marquis Ding Nan fu to be able to marry you is his ancestors' eight lifetimes of good fortune.

If they dare to treat you badly,

They will divorce you directly.

With Rongguo Province, no one will dare to say anything to you. At that time, mother will choose a good marriage for you. "

This was also the confidence of her maternal family, who was willing to support her married daughter,

If it were those three illegitimate daughters..,

Who would care about them?

Jia Min shook her head, "I think Dingnan Houfu's illegitimate son is also quite good."

Since her third sister could live so well in her previous life..,

If it wasn't because Dingnan Houfu's illegitimate son, there was no need for her to change the marriage back.

Although she didn't know how her third sister did it..,

She could even marry Dingnan Houfu's illegitimate son and live a life that made all the women in the capital envious, jealous, and hateful. Then if she married Ruhai, who was better than Dingnan Houfu's illegitimate son, she would only live a better life, right?

As for her?

She made the wrong choice,

Naturally, she had to bear the consequences of this choice.

Jia Min quickly left Jia Shi's courtyard.

After she left, Jia Shi's house was brightly lit all night.

Min'er's words just now..,

Madam Jashi was not as indifferent as she appeared to be.

Everything else was fine, and she did feel that those things were like a joke,

But letting Zheng'er inherit the title..,

She had indeed thought about it more than once in her heart.

Of course..,

She had never told anyone.

At least for now, the people around Madam Jia only thought that she was partial to Jia Min and Jia Zheng. Her attitude towards Jia Xie, the eldest son who was brought up in the old Duke Rongguo's courtyard, was not very good.

However, these favoritism were still within a controllable range. It was fine if others muttered a few words, but no one took it to heart.

The human heart was biased to begin with. No one could guarantee that they would treat all children equally.

How did Ke Min 'er find out?

Could it be that this was what Min 'er really wanted to tell her?

Remind him?

Or was it a warning?

Lady Jashi was holding a string of Buddha beads, her fingers were twirling non-stop, her eyes were dark and gloomy.

-

Jia Min was also thinking about this when she left.

It was only after she returned to her own courtyard that she realized that her mother had refuted almost everything, but she didn't mention a single word about her making the two sons disregard their seniority.

It turned out that her mother had such a big estrangement from her eldest brother at such a young age?

Then her eldest brother's behavior of "hiding in the East Courtyard, drinking and making merry all day, and fooling around with concubines", was it really what he wanted to do, without her mother's interference?

No, she must see her father tomorrow and tell him these things, so that he can be prepared for failure in the battle for the position of the heir.

As long as her father was alive, the things that happened later would not happen!

After Jia Min tossed and turned for half the night and finally fell asleep, the inconspicuous moth that had been following her took off from the lampshade and returned to Jia Su's courtyard.

Jia Su withdrew her spiritual power from the moth, and the moth directly fell to the ground. After a while, it seemed to sense that there was no danger, so it flapped its wings a few times, flew up from the ground, and pounced on the candle flame covered by the lampshade.

The room was silent, as if nothing had happened.

At noon the next day, after Jia Su had eaten, she was lying on the small bed to rest. Cui Yan ran in front of her like a wisp of smoke, "Miss, Fourth Miss is here."

Jia Su slowly opened her eyes and nodded without surprise, "Let her in."

Knowing the truth behind the marriage of Dingnan Houfu's illegitimate son, Jia Min could not have not come to find her. She also could not keep not seeing Jia Min.

"Good afternoon, Third Elder Sister." Jia Min entered the door and immediately bowed to her with a face full of smiles.

This had never happened before. Jia Min's attitude toward the illegitimate daughters could not be considered bad, but it could not be considered close either. Compared to the original work, Jia Baoyu's attitude toward the illegitimate sons, Jia Huan and Jia Cong, she maintained the most basic etiquette so that no one could catch a mistake.

However, Jia Su was not the least bit nervous. Instead, she calmly looked at Jia Min and nodded with a smile, "Min 'er, shouldn't you be in your room preparing for the wedding? How come you have time to come today?"

Very few people in the fu knew that Jia Min had been grounded by the Jia Daishan couple. After all, it was not good to be grounded for committing a premarital offense.

Madam Jia had told the servants that Jia Min had to stay in her room and prepare for the upcoming wedding next month. She could not walk around the fu as she pleased.

Jia Su naturally did not know, so she also acted as if she did not know.

Chi Xia led Jia Min to a chair and sat down. Jia Su also quickly got up from the small couch and sat next to Jia Min.

Jia Min took in Jia Su's attitude and was even more certain that her third elder sister had been hiding her suspicions all this time. Her attitude immediately became more cautious, and she dispelled her original intention of getting straight to the point and directly asking about her third elder sister's attitude.

She smiled and said, "I've been in my room for a long time and felt a bit bored, so I asked mother to come out for a walk.

Just now, I happened to walk near elder sister's courtyard. Because I haven't seen elder sister for a long time, I wanted to chat with elder sister. "

Jia Su glanced at Jia Min and did not say anything.

Jia Min did not mind and just talked about a lot of their childhood experiences.

Although Jia Su did not say anything, it could be seen that she was very happy to hear it.

Unfortunately, Jia Min and her three elder sisters were different from each other since childhood. The education they received was very different, so they had very little time to play and play together.

However, after talking for about half a cup of tea's time, Jia Min was shocked to find that there was nothing to say.

Jia Min smiled bitterly, "I didn't realize until now that I have spent so little time with my elder sisters."

Jia Su smiled, "After all, your status is different from ours."

Seeing that Jia Min was distressed and thinking about topics that could be related to her, Jia Su sighed and did not want to make things difficult for Jia Min. She waved her hand and let Chi Xia and the others leave, "Chi Xia Cui Yan, take the others out first. Remember to guard the door and don't let others eavesdrop."

Chi Xia Cui Yan did not say much and simply left the room with the other maids who were serving in the room.

Huyu looked at Jia Min before leaving. She was looking at Jia Su in astonishment, "Third elder sister …"

"Fourth younger sister, do you have something to ask me?"

Fortunately, the street was noisy, and the mosquito she possessed didn't make a sound that attracted much attention.

Holding a book, she followed Lin Ruhai with a face full of worry, "Young master, your boss gave you a day of sick leave to rest. Why didn't you listen to his advice and insist on going shopping?"

But after shopping for so long, he did not buy anything.

Lin Ruhai pursed his lips, "I have been an official in the imperial court for nearly a month, but I have been so busy that I have not sent any news to Rongguo Province. Third Miss … Third Miss should be worried."

Thinking of his bright-eyed fiancée, Lin Ruhai's heart immediately warmed up.

His eyes fell on the jewelry on the street stalls. He always felt that the workmanship was rough and unoriginal, so he did not like it.

Holding the book, she suddenly understood, "So young master is worried about Third Miss?

Why don't you just let me pass a message to Third Miss? "

"It's too casual. Third Miss should think that I don't care about her."

Although he did not know much about the affairs between men and women, his mother had taught him.

Since the engagement, he had seen many famous anecdotes about the love between husband and wife. No matter how stupid he was, he should have been enlightened.

Sending someone to pass a message to his fiancée, but leaving empty-handed?

Maybe she thought that her favorability was too high!

Moreover, he was not stupid.

After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai was not prepared to waste time on the street stalls. He found a location and went straight to the capital's largest jewelry store — Ruyi Square.

Although Third Miss was worried that the jewelry would be too expensive and specifically reminded him not to spend too much money, he really did not like the cheap jewelry on the street stalls. He felt that they were not worthy of Third Miss, who was an immortal.

Lin Ruhai pursed his lips and looked wronged. He could only let Third Miss down.

Holding the book was puzzled, "Young master, didn't you say that Third Miss was frugal and did not like the jewelry from Ruyi Square?"

Jia Su: I am not!

I am not!

Stop talking nonsense!

Who was the one who spread the rumor that she did not like the jewelry from Ruyi Square?

Rosy Lane had recruited the best craftsmen in the world. Every piece of jewelry had gone through layers of screening, and the final product that was put up for sale was a luxury item that the noblewomen of Great Xia would fight over.

That was the most beautiful, most exquisite, and most expensive jewelry in the entire Da Xia Dynasty. She loved it so much, okay?

If she caught the villain who spread the rumor in front of Lin Ruhai, she would slap his mouth until it was swollen!

Lin Ruhai did not know about Jia Su's silent criticism. When he heard Holding the book's question, he sighed helplessly, "But only the jewelry from Ruyi Square would not degrade Third Miss's status.

Ruyi Square was famous outside. It was the "holy land" in the hearts of almost every woman in Da Xia Dynasty.

Jia Shu originally thought that Chi Xia and the others were exaggerating, but when she flew in and saw the dazzling array of exquisite jewelry in the shop, she realized that the praise that had been circulating outside was not exaggerated at all. It was true to its name.

She originally planned to continue doing business with women after the rouge and face powder shop was on the right track. She planned to open a ready-made clothing store or a jewelry store …

But now, Jia Su dispelled this idea of overestimating her capabilities.

In terms of jewelry alone, Jia Su did not think that she could win against Ruyi Square just by relying on her decades of experience in modern times.

In modern times, Ruyi Square was the true professional when it came to jewelry.

Jia Su flew around the store and was dazzled. She did not even notice when Lin Ruhai disappeared from the first floor.

By the time she noticed, Lin Ruhai had already appeared on the stairs leading to the second floor and was walking down.

Holding the book followed closely behind. In his hands was a tray covered in yellow brocade. On top of the tray were dozens of pieces of jewelry neatly arranged.

Bracelets, necklaces, hairpins, earrings …

White jade, jade, gold, silver, precious stones …

All the jewelry that women dreamed of could be found here.

Because she was too surprised, Jia Su forgot to flap her wings and almost fell to the ground again.

After transmigrating to A Dream of the Red Chamber for several years, the elders treated her as if she did not exist. Her peers did not remember to give her gifts and she could not afford them. This was the first time Jia Su had seen so many high-quality and beautiful pieces of jewelry.

For the first time, she doubted whether she had done the right thing by not fighting for anything in Rongguo Province.

Of course, she was only thinking about it.

Compared to the troubles in Rongguo Province, enduring a few years of "poverty" before getting married and using the money she earned to buy things without restraint was simply too worth it.

The shopkeeper of Ruyi Square packed up the jewelry. Lin Ruhai let Holding Book take it and directly took out a banknote to pay the bill.

It was not until Lin Ruhai walked out of the door that Jia Su came back to her senses and hurriedly followed him.

"Young Master, are we buying anything else?" Holding Book was curious.

Lin Ruhai's face was full of worry: "I don't know if Third Miss will like these jewelry."

Because Jia Su was beautiful, most of the jewelry he chose were complex and exquisite, unlike the simple and generous style he used to like. Therefore, he was a bit uncertain.

Holding Book was not worried at all: "Young Master, don't worry. Even a man would like those jewelry. How could Third Miss not be tempted?

Moreover, Young Master personally chose them. Just the thought alone is enough to make Third Miss look at them with new eyes. "

After thinking, he added, "If Third Miss dislikes them, then it must be because she has bad taste."

"Don't speak ill of Third Miss!"

Lin Ruhai's cheeks flushed when he heard the first sentence of Holding Book, but his face turned pale when he heard the second sentence: "If Third Miss doesn't like them, then it must be because the gifts I chose are not to her liking."

Jia Su, who was following behind the two, flapped her little wings quickly: Don't worry, I like them very much!

But Holding Book's last sentence still made Lin Ruhai feel depressed and a bit nervous.

He lifted his foot and changed direction: "Let's go, let's hurry back."

"Aren't we sending these jewelry to Rongguo Province?"

"No," Lin Ruhai frowned, "Let's go back and let Mother take a look. She'll definitely know which jewelry Third Miss likes more."

Jia Su: Wait!

Which one?

Not all of them?!

I feel like I've lost a hundred million!

Aiyo, my heart hurts!

Jia Su took it with both hands and respectfully acknowledged, then got up and returned to her original position.

Then, Lin Ruhai came forward to offer tea: "Mother, please have some tea!"

"Good, good, good!" Mother Lin drank the tea and looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile. Her face was full of gratification. Her son had finally grown up.

After thinking for a while, she reminded Lin Ruhai in front of Jia Su, "You'll be spending the rest of your life with your wife in the future, so you have to treat her well."

Lin Ruhai's mind suddenly flashed with the scene from last night. His face flushed red as he nodded.

Mother Lin looked at his dark red face and smiled in understanding. It seemed that the young couple had a very happy time last night.

She was relieved: "Although taking in concubines is common, Mother still wants you to promise me one thing."

"Mother, please say it."

"For seven years, regardless of whether there's news of Count 'er or not, you're not allowed to add another person to the inner courtyard."

Mother Lin originally planned to forbid her son from taking in concubines for three years, but she thought of the agreement she had with Jia family. After Jia Min married into the family, she couldn't take in concubines for seven years. She was worried that Jia Su would find out and affect the relationship between husband and wife, so she decided to treat everyone equally and even cut off the possibility of her son touching other women.

Ruhai was a man of his word. If he agreed, he wouldn't go back on his word in the future.

Lin Ruhai thought of how when his father was still alive, his mother had shed tears for his father's love for his concubines. In the end, she became numb to it and was almost like a stranger to his father. He felt sad.

When he thought of how Jia Su would treat him like this in the future, he felt even more sad and naturally agreed.

On the other hand, Jia Su was surprised. She raised her head to look at Mother Lin and found that she was looking at her with a loving smile.

She thought about it carefully and realized that Mother Lin wanted her to relax and focus on continuing the Lin family's line of descendants.

This point was also confirmed during breakfast later.

Because the Lin family didn't have any clansmen within the five generations, the original tea ceremony became much simpler.

After the ceremony, Mother Lin directly had someone send over breakfast.

Mother Lin and Jia Su sat at the same table, while Lin Ruhai sat alone at the same table.

Jia Su got up and prepared to serve Mother Lin.

Although she complained in her heart, this was the rule in ancient times. If she didn't have the ability to change the rules, she could only abide by it.

However, Mother Lin unexpectedly waved her hand to stop her: "We're all eating as a family. There's no need to be so particular."

Because there were only the two of them in the Lin family, they used to eat together. Now that Jia Su was here, it didn't make any difference.

After Jia Su sat down, she smiled and said: "In the future, the two of you can eat breakfast in your own rooms. When it's time for lunch and dinner, you can come over to eat together. There's no need to specially come over to pay your respects.

Husband and wife should get along well … "

After breakfast, Jia Su and Lin Ruhai happily returned to their courtyard together.

When they were outside the courtyard, Jia Su naturally had to consider Mother Lin's impression and couldn't act too out of line. However, when they were in their own courtyard, Jia Su relaxed.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, she reached out to hold Lin Ruhai's hand.

As long as one of them wasn't ugly to the point of infuriation, the newlyweds' impression of each other was the highest. If she couldn't develop feelings for Lin Ruhai during this period of time, Jia Su felt that she could basically give up on the idea of dating in ancient times.

After all, she was a scientific monk who didn't know much about literature. She really didn't have anything to talk about with Lin Ruhai, who was a pure liberal arts student. There was completely no possibility of them becoming "connected minds", gradually deepening their feelings for each other, and finally becoming lovers.

Moreover, she wasn't a traditional virtuous wife and loving mother, nor was she a lovesick person who was willing to sacrifice everything for love. This also cut off the possibility of moving Lin Ruhai and making him fall in love with her.

However, Jia Su didn't expect that as soon as she touched Lin Ruhai's fingertips, he quickly dodged.

She tilted her head to look at him and found that Lin Ruhai's eyes were wandering. He quickly put his hands behind his back and strode in front of Jia Su.

Then, his serious but somewhat embarrassed voice reached Jia Su's ears. "Ahem, we're still outside. We can't do such immoral things."

If she ignored the tips of his red ears, Jia Su might have believed his nonsense.

Jia Su narrowed her eyes and said in an ambiguous tone, "Immoral?"

Without waiting for Lin Ruhai to react, Jia Su walked past Lin Ruhai and angrily walked away.

Lin Ruhai was stunned by Jia Su's decisive action. His heart ached and he felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Lin Ruhai was still young and didn't know how to hide his emotions. At the same time, because of his lack of experience, he couldn't maintain his composure even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

He stood in place and waited for a while. When he saw that Jia Su had no intention of stopping to wait for him, he felt a little wronged.

However, as the head of the household, he couldn't reveal his feelings in front of the servants. He could only keep a straight face and pretend to unintentionally quicken his pace to catch up with Jia Su.

Jia Su heard the footsteps, but didn't turn around to look at him.

Lin Ruhai: "…"

Lin Ruhai deliberately increased the speed of his footsteps. The patter of footsteps could be heard clearly.

Jia Su still didn't pay attention to him.

Lin Ruhai paused and carefully glanced at Jia Su's expression. When he saw that she didn't seem to be angry, he quietly reached out and tried to grab Jia Su's hand.

Jia Su broke free and turned around to look at him. "Didn't you say it was immoral?

What are you doing now? "

At the side, Chi Xia and Cui Yan were so anxious that their eyes widened. They couldn't wait to rush up and stuff Jia Su's hand into Lin Ruhai's.

However, at this time, they didn't dare to make a sound. They could only be anxious.

Lin Ruhai felt his face burning, but he wasn't stupid. He could clearly see that Jia Su was falling for this trick. How could he be stupid enough to give up just because of a slip of the tongue?

He didn't give up and reached out his hand again …

However, she shook it off again. Lin Ruhai's expression suddenly collapsed.

In the end, Jia Su grabbed Lin Ruhai's hand. Before he could react, she smiled and led him back to the courtyard with satisfaction.
