Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 118: Can I exchange two pieces of jade for your jade?

"lack!"

Lin Daiyu answered decisively without waiting for Jia Min to continue.

He was afraid that others pretended not to hear him, so he looked around loudly and repeated it solemnly.

"Mom! I really don't have such a good jade!"

Lin Daiyu had another thought in her mind. Now that Jia Baoyu had lost the jade, did she no longer have to shed tears?

Cao Xueqin describes jade as very magical in his book. Could it be that this thing can absorb other people's emotions, aspirations and luck like a magic weapon?

Jia Min looked at everyone in the room staring at her eagerly. She was about to explode with anger.

This child has to be beaten. I have hinted at it so clearly, but you are still stubborn and you are still so greedy and self-righteous.

Isn't this embarrassing?

Thinking of this, Jia Min reached out and patted Lin Daiyu on the back.

"I told you to be disobedient. Take out the jade."

How could Lin Daiyu suffer in front of so many people?

When she was six or seven years old, her body was very flexible. She turned around and ran into Grandmother Jia's arms.

"Grandma, my mother wants to beat me."

"I picked up something that others didn't want, why are you hitting me?"

"No! Mom, if you hit me I will let your mom hit you."

Lin Daiyu had already rushed into her arms, and Grandmother Jia couldn't push her out.

Moreover, she is so eloquent and has all the reasons.

"Min'er, the child is right. It was Baoyu, the useless guy, who threw the jade away."

"Everyone in the room saw it, and the child picked it up himself."

"I didn't always beat you when you were naughty as a child!"

Lin Daiyu raised her lips and eyebrows, and I don't know who she learned this from.

"Grandma is right."

When Lady Jia heard this, she felt that what she said made sense, so she could not force the child to hand over the jade.

But this jade was something Baoyu had with him when he was born, so it cannot really belong to anyone else.

"Daiyu! Grandma has several more beautiful jades here. Can I exchange them with you?"

Lin Daiyu tilted her head and said, "Grandma, is it really better looking than this one?"

"Yes! Grandma, can I give you one in exchange for two?"

Lin Daiyu took the jade out of her pocket and looked at it reluctantly for a few seconds.

She naturally didn't see anything special about it. To her, it was just ordinary white jade with words engraved on it.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's reluctance to let go, Grandmother Jia hurriedly ordered her personal maid to

"Yuanyang, take out my jade box and let Daiyu pick two pieces.

"And you, stop hiding yourselves and take out all the gifts you prepared."

“Let the children choose!”

Grandmother Jia focused on Madam Xing and Madam Wang and gave instructions to everyone.

Immediately, the two ladies quickly ordered their servants to get a few more gifts.

Even Wang Xifeng ordered her maid Ping'er, who came with her dowry, to exchange for some jade.

The children of this aunt like jade and like it openly.

Just don't bother with those flashy things.

This will prevent this girl from embarrassing everyone.

Wang Xifeng looked at Lin Daiyu in Jia Mu's arms, and she had an illusion.

If you don't like something, this girl will really throw it back to you.

People who don't play by the rules are the most unpredictable. You never know when she will embarrass you.

For a moment, there were several boxes of jade of various colors in front of Lin Daiyu.

There are white jade, emerald...

She picked one from each box, and Grandmother Jia stuffed another one into her hand.

"Here! Grandma said she would pick two for you, and she won't break her promise."

"This piece is from my grandmother's dowry. My grandmother is reluctant to give it to anyone who wants it. I was reluctant to give it to your mother when she got married."

"It is also white jade, and it may be more valuable than the precious jade."

Grandmother Jia felt that for her granddaughter, only money could measure the value of jade.

As expected, Daiyu gave in.

"Grandma, I'm returning the jade to my cousin because of your face. I won't change it next time."

"Although others are more valuable, I actually still like this one."

Having said this, she handed the jade to Lady Jia, and at the same time glanced at her Jia Baoyu, staring blankly at him.

I thought to myself, this is what I’m telling you, I’m a money-grubber.

People who belong to the Pixiu can only take in and never leave.

Grandmother Jia took the jade and handed it to Xiren, Jia Baoyu's maid.

"Keep it for your master. Next time something like this happens, be careful of your heads."

Mrs. Wang and Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief at this time. It was unclear how many people present were jealous and how many were happy.

Jia Min looked at her mother with great guilt, "Mom! It's not appropriate to give such a good thing to a little kid like her."

Of course, Lady Jia will never take back what she has said.

Jia Baoyu looked at Lin Daiyu, still thoughtful, "Sister Lin, have we met somewhere before?"

"Why do I feel so familiar?"

"My son! This is a demon. You have never seen this sister. Your aunt hasn't been back for more than ten years."

Mrs. Wang was very sad because her eldest son Jia Zhu was gone and she had gone through so much hardship to give birth to this precious baby Baoyu.

He always seemed fine, but why did he go crazy when he saw the girl from Jia Min's family?

Jia Baoyu did not listen to his mother's advice. He still looked at Lin Daiyu and waited for her answer.

Lin Daiyu knows everything clearly, and this is all due to the author's power.

She smiled and shook her head, saying to everyone, "I think all of you sisters are very familiar with me."

"This may be because we are blood relatives."

"We are all family, so we have similarities, so of course we look familiar."

"What you said, Sister Lin, makes sense. We are all sisters and relatives, so of course we feel close to each other." Grandmother Jia was afraid that Jia Baoyu would say something shocking again, so she interrupted him immediately.

"Yong'an! Come here, our Yong'an is also a treasure! Come over and pick out two things too."

The little transparent Lin Yongan thought to himself, finally you thought of me.

My sister is very domineering.

Once my sister takes action, everyone in the room has to admit defeat.

He walked forward and selected a few pieces according to his sister's standards.

It’s definitely right to follow your sister.

All the ladies in the Jia family looked at Jia Min. Was the child born by Jia Min educated? Did he not know how to be polite?

Jia Baoyu also came to his senses at this time and rubbed against Jia's mother's arms.

"Grandma! What Sister Lin said makes sense. Grandma, please let Sister Lin sleep in the green gauze cabinet with me."

"We can discuss more knowledge!"

When Lin Daiyu saw that this rude person was also trying to get in, she quickly withdrew from Grandmother Jia's arms.

Return to Jia Min.

When they heard Jia Baoyu mention learning, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"You, Sister Lin, are a girl. Why would you need any knowledge?"

"Besides, Baoyu, when did you start studying?"

Grandmother Jia naturally found the child interesting and continued to tease Jia Baoyu.

"Grandma, I have been studying with my teacher recently. What book is Sister Lin reading?"

Lin Daiyu patted Yongan and said, "Little brother! Tell your cousin what book we are reading?"

Yongan raised his little head and said, "Three Character Classic!"

"Hahahaha! ..." "What's there to learn from the Three Character Classic?" Jia Baoyu laughed and teased his little cousin.

So cute.

Then he said, "Three Character Classic, everyone can read it!"

Lin Yongan became unhappy when he heard others laughing at him.

"The teacher said that I could learn the Three Character Classic from the age of four to eight."

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu asked in surprise, "You only learned the Three Character Classic in four years?"

"Then you are either too stupid and playful, or you are lazy."

"You can come with me to the clan school later, and I will ask the teachers there to help you with your training."

"Grandma, let my little cousin go to school with me so I can have a companion."

Jia Baoyu did not wait for Yongan's answer and immediately begged his mother,

Grandmother Jia glanced at Jia Min and said, "My son, this all requires your aunt's consent."

"Aunt! I like my cousin and my cousin very much. Can I let my cousin live with me at my grandmother's house?"

"My cousin is studying with me?"

Jia Baoyu looked at Jia Min without blinking, his face full of anticipation.

In the past, he always got what he wanted with such a look, and it never failed.
