After sitting down, Grandma Lai looked at Daiyu standing next to Jia Min and asked with a smile: "Is this child Yu girl? I didn't expect that she has grown so big."

Jia Min quickly ordered Daiyu to salute Aunt Lai, and then called Lin Yun to go up and salute Aunt Lai.

After waiting for Lin Yun to salute, Aunt Lai first praised her a few words, then smiled at Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, seeing Brother Yun reminds me of something. I want to ask for a favor in front of my aunt."

Lin Yun thought to himself: "Here comes trouble. Looking at this attitude, Aunt Lai is indeed a decent person in front of Jia Mu."

Jia's mother looked puzzled and said: "Sister, what did you say? Could it be that Min'er did something to offend you?"

Aunt Lai said hurriedly: "Old lady, please don't say that. It was the unlucky Lai Xi of my family who offended Brother Yun. I will plead guilty for that evildoer in front of my aunt, and beg my aunt to forgive him for this."

Jia's mother hurriedly asked Jia Min, "Min'er, what's going on?"

Jia Min was about to explain a few words, but Lin Yun spoke first: "Old ancestor, my aunt doesn't know the inside story about this, so let me tell you."

Mother Jia glanced at Lin Yun and said to herself, "This child has a responsibility. No wonder Min'er values ​​him so much."

After obtaining Jia's mother's consent, Lin Yun recounted the conflict between him and Lai Xi in detail. Of course, he would beat Lai Xi himself and gently take over, emphasizing that Lai Xi hid when Jia Min was sick.

He was drinking, and after being discovered, he insulted the head butler of the Lin Mansion in front of everyone.

Aunt Lai sat aside and listened quietly without interrupting Lin Yun's narration. Some of these things she knew, some she didn't know.

She secretly judged in her heart whether what Lin Yun said was true. When she noticed that Nanny Liu standing behind Jia Min had no questioning expression, she knew that Lai Xi must have concealed in the letter his insults to the Lin family's chief housekeeper.

thing.

As soon as Lin Yun finished speaking, Aunt Lai said guiltily to Jia Mu: "Old lady, it's true that Lai Xi did these shameless things. He deserves to be taught a lesson by Brother Yun. Old lady, I don't have the shame to plead for him anymore.

.Please ask my aunt to punish him severely."

These words seemed to be a voluntary admission of mistakes, but they secretly pointed out Lin Yun's beating of Lai Xi and asked Jia Mu to give him a compliment.

Jia's mother was in a difficult situation now. Lai Xi did something that deserved to be beaten, but Lin Yun, a junior, hit him, which was against the established rules of the big family. But Lin Yun was Lin Ruhai's nephew, so he did it for Jia Min's sake.

The beating made Lai Xi feel that no matter how she dealt with it, it was inappropriate.

Fortunately, Lin Yun didn't give Jia Mu a chance to think. As soon as she finished speaking, he pretended not to understand and followed what she said: "Old ancestor, if you follow my wishes, like Lai Xi,

An unfaithful and unfilial slave should be kicked out of the house after being punished. But when my aunt found out about it, she not only kept Lai Xi, but also called me and gave me a severe scolding. Grandpa, please comment.

, did my aunt treat things unfairly and wronged me?"

Jia's mother was really dumbfounded after hearing this. Aunt Lai complained about Brother Yun in front of her, but this little guy deliberately pretended not to understand, and instead went on and on about Jia Min's complaint. This whole mess came to an end.

It solved the problem she faced.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Lin Yun calmly. Although she was surprised by Lin Yun's courage, she was more concerned about Jia Min's purpose of bringing an outsider to the old lady. Was it just to show off to Aunt Lai?

Make an explanation?

When Baoyu and Sanchun and the other children heard this, they all looked at Lin Yun in confusion, thinking that this guy was too courageous to accuse his aunt in front of his ancestors.

Wang Xifeng looked at Lin Yun in surprise. She was used to flattering people, so she could naturally hear the hidden meaning in Lin Yun's words. This move, pointing here and there, not only resolved the difficulties of Grandma Lai, but also made Jia Min fall from grace.

This incident left a good impression in the old lady's mind that she was taking the blame for her aunt. This method of killing three birds with one stone even made her feel inferior.

Jia Min was secretly happy. Although she also had a way to deal with Aunt Lai's accusation, doing so would definitely hurt Aunt Lai's face. How could Lin Yun's method work?

Aunt Lai was impeccable in her handling of Lai Xi's affairs, which could not have been more appropriate.

At that moment, she scolded Lin Yun with a straight face: "Brother Yun, don't be presumptuous in front of the old lady. If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful and I will ask your uncle to slap you."

Lin Yun pretended to be afraid and said: "Aunt, calm down, my nephew will never dare to do it again."

Jia Min smiled at Aunt Lai again and said, "Mom, please don't say that. Even if Lai Xi makes a small mistake, it's just a lesson. Brother Yun is young, and it is inevitable that he will be a little impulsive when doing things. It's just that I like this nephew the most. I

I don't want to punish him arbitrarily, so please forgive him for his offense for Min'er's sake."

After all, Aunt Lai is an old Jianghu. She is well aware of the double act between Jia Min and Lin Yun. Seeing that there is nothing she can do, she smiles at Jia Min and says: "It's all my fault, I don't understand clearly."

I just came here to beg for mercy, my aunt, you don’t have to take care of my face and just beat that evil obstacle to death."

Lin Yun glanced at Aunt Lai and said to herself that this woman is really a mature woman. This trick of retreating in order to advance can be said to be perfect.

Seeing that Aunt Lai had given in, Jia Mu said to Xi Ni: "Min'er, although Lai Xi has made a mistake, since he has been punished, there is no need to let him stay in Suzhou to guard the old house and wait for my uncle's anger to subside.

, how about you have him sent to the capital and handed over to your aunt to deal with it?"

Jia Min: "This is what my daughter originally planned. When the master forgets about it, I will send Lai Xi back to Beijing."

Jia Mu asked Aunt Lai again: "Sister, do you think you can do it?"

"Thank you, old lady."

Although this treatment was not in line with what Aunt Lai had expected when she came, it still saved her face. The old Aunt apologized to Jia Mu and then left with the support of the little maid.

As soon as Aunt Lai left, Jia Mu smiled at Lin Yun and asked, "Brother Yun, do you think this treatment is fair?"

"This junior is not interested in what to do with Lai Xi. I just want to ask my ancestors to tell my aunt that she won't force me to study every day."

As soon as Lin Yun said this joke, the tense atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed.

Wang Xifeng said jokingly: "There is a man in our family who is very talented, but he doesn't like to study. I didn't expect that my aunt's family also has a similar one."

Jia Min scolded Lin Yun with a straight face, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will ask the master to punish you severely in the future."

Lin Yun shrank his neck and said with a fearful expression: "Don't be angry, I won't say anything."

Mrs. Wang watched the two people singing the double act in front of Jia Mu, and she felt disgusted in her heart. She secretly thought, was this girl mocking her for not teaching Baoyu well?

Baoyu's face was full of joy when he arrived, and he asked Daiyu who was sitting next to him: "Sister, your brother doesn't like to go to school either?"

Daiyu responded in a low voice: "Brother really doesn't like reading, but he is very good at reading."

Baoyu hurriedly asked: "Can he write poetry? Does he like to read essays?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "No, he doesn't seem to know how to write poetry, and I haven't seen him read essays."

Baoyu said regretfully: "Has he just become enlightened?"

Daiyu was not happy when she heard this. She rolled her eyes at Baoyu and said arrogantly: "My brother just won the scholarship this year."

"ah!"

When welcoming the spring, exploring the spring, and Xichun heard Daiyu say that Lin Yun had become a scholar, the three women exclaimed together.

Hearing the sound, Jia Mu looked over and asked with a smile: "Baoyu, what are you whispering about?"

Baoyu was not interested in scholars or anything like that, and he didn't want to reply to his ancestor's words.

Tan Chun took the initiative to answer for him: "Ancestor, we just heard that the Lin family brother was selected as a scholar, and we were very surprised."

"oh."

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Min with some surprise, and when she saw a smile on her lips, she knew that this must be true."

Mrs. Xing immediately smiled and complimented: "Sister Min'er, I didn't expect that your family has another reading seed. I am really happy and congratulated."

Jia Min said modestly: "I don't know if this child can do it yet. Sister-in-law, you heard it just now. He complained in front of the old lady that I was too strict."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Only a strict teacher can produce a good disciple. With Auntie, you are supervising Brother Yun, and he will definitely be able to go to high school in the future."

Hearing that everyone was praising Lin Yun for studying well, Baoyu immediately became angry. He stood up suddenly, reached out and pulled off the piece of jade from his collar, threw it to the ground, and spat: "What's so good about being a middle school scholar?

They are just national thieves and cowards, I don't care about them."

Everyone was stunned by Baoyu's action. Jia Mu said anxiously: "Quick, quick, pick it up quickly and see if the jade is broken?"

Several maids quickly gathered around, picked up the jade from the ground, and wiped it carefully.

Mrs. Wang stepped forward and hugged Baoyu, and said distressedly: "It's not good for you to smash it, why bother to smash that piece of jade."

Jia Mu also came over and snatched Baoyu from Mrs. Wang's arms, and kept coaxing and persuading her.

When Lin Yun saw this, he felt like he was like a horse. He had waded through all the big rivers in front of him, but he didn't expect that he would fall into this small ditch.

Looking back at Jia Min, I saw her looking at Mrs. Wang calmly, with a faint smile on her lips.

…

Under the coaxing of Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, Baoyu seemed to have come to his senses. He looked at Sister Lin who was at a loss next to him, and a trace of regret suddenly flashed in his heart.

Although he was still young, he knew that it would be a bit embarrassing to throw a jade in front of Sister Lin, whom he met for the first time. When he thought about Sister Lin's mother sitting there, he didn't even have the courage to raise his head to look at Jia Min.

After Jia Mu coaxed Baoyu, she turned back and smiled at Jia Min: "Baoyu is good at everything, but he doesn't like people who study and become officials."

Mrs. Wang also said awkwardly: "I made my sister laugh."

Jia Min smiled and said: "Baoyu is still a child. As long as he has more control in the future, he will definitely be able to revitalize my Jia family."

When everyone saw that the wind and clouds had dispersed, they started talking and laughing.

…

At this moment, a little maid came in and reported to Jia Mu: "Old lady, the second master asked someone to come over and ask the young nephew of my aunt's family to see him and then go to Mengpo Zhai to meet him."

Jia Min hurriedly told Lin Yun: "Brother Yun, since your second uncle wants to see you, go and say hello."

"My nephew respects your order."

Lin Yunzheng didn't want to stay here, so he quickly raised his hands to Jia Mu and said, "Old ancestor, I will take my leave now."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Go ahead and come back to dine here, and I'll ask Baoyu to give you a toast."

"Thank you, ancestor."

Lin Yun saluted everyone again before saying goodbye and leaving.
