The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Ping wanted to marry into the Jinling Prince's Mansion, after all, she was the daughter of the Lin family. Even if she was a concubine, Lin Yi couldn't tell Lin Ping to die, so she allowed her to marry.However, strictly according to the standard for concubine girls to marry, the dowry is only 5000 taels of silver, nothing more.

As for Aunt Zhou, when she heard the news that her daughter was going to marry into the palace, she asked the girl to intercede with the Yue family on her behalf, thinking about the relationship between mother and daughter, she should let her watch Lin Ping get married no matter what.Furthermore, Aunt Zhou still has a lot of private houses that she wants to subsidize her daughter.

Lin Yi said directly, "Tell the old aunt to leave the private house to the second brother." She didn't mean to ask the old aunt Zhou to meet Lin Ping, "Tell the second girl that if you want to marry, just be obedient."

Yueshi responded softly.

Aunt Zhou cried a lot, but she had no choice but to continue to chant Buddha in the small courtyard.

Even Lin Ping, upon hearing such a decision, just held the girl's hand and went outside the birth mother's yard for a bite, then went back to the boudoir to prepare for marriage.

On the contrary, when Princess Jinling entered the palace to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Lin, she couldn't help mentioning, "It's really fate, as soon as I saw Miss Lin, I felt that I was destined."

Empress Dowager Lin smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated the princess yet."

Princess Jinling laughed, "We are happy together." Chen Xiya married Lin Ping, and Lin Ping was Empress Dowager Lin's niece.

Empress Dowager Lin didn't change her face, and asked very gently, "Speaking of which, the princess should have a double happiness. I heard that the good things between your Xiao Qi and the Rong family girl are coming soon."

Princess Jinling smiled slightly, and Empress Dowager Lin smiled calmly, taking a sip of tea quietly.

Tang Ying said to Emperor Zhaode, "It seems that the competition for the position of the son of the Jinling Palace is very fierce."

Emperor Zhaode's brows moved slightly, and he said, "Which son will Uncle Wang ask for?"

"No matter which son it is, please don't agree to the request of the prince of Jinling for the time being." Tang Ying said, "At any time, it is not a good start to rely on the power of foreign relatives to fight for the kingship. Besides, no matter which son wins, it will Let the two Duke Cheng's houses turn against each other because of this."

Emperor Zhaode didn't say anything, but said, "Let's see how the two families marry their daughters, let's talk about it." Emperor Zhaode also wanted to watch for a while, and see what the Lin Rong family meant.

Because the king of Jinling has been in the imperial capital for a long time, he has already asked for an edict to return to Jinling.Therefore, the marriage is somewhat urgent.

However, for public houses such as Lin and Rong, there are plenty of people, as long as they have money, they can buy anything.The daughters of the two families, one is married to Chen Xijing, the seventh son of King Jinling, and the other is married to Chen Xiya, the eighth son of King Jinling.They were married on the same day, and considering that Lin and Rong are both families of foreign relatives, it seems that this marriage of daughters is an intentional competition.

Lin Jing naturally wanted to intervene in this kind of matter.

However, only Lin Jing could come up with such a bad idea.

Lin Yi glared at Lin Jing, and ordered his servants to do it.

Lin Jing covered his mouth and grinned, and whispered to Xu Nian, "Look at your uncle, you are obviously very happy to do this, and you still stare at me. Just pretend to be a good person."

Xu Nianxin said, my brother-in-law tricks people, he can get into every hole.

The rivalry between Lin and Rong has been going on for a long time. Ever since Emperor Zhaode ascended the throne and named the two empress dowagers, a female empress dowager and a holy mother empress dowager, the rules, palaces, and ostentation of the two empress dowagers have been compared.

Today, both Lin and Rong marry their daughters at the same time.

The excitement here is huge.

Soon, chatting on the street, they started discussing the dowry of the two daughters. One of them said, "I heard that Duke Lin's mansion is going to pay a sky-high price of silver for the dowry!" Ah, pile mountains and fill seas!"

At first, it was just people chatting about nothing, but for some reason, the matter became more and more heated, and there was a lot of noise, and some people made a bet on the richness of the dowry of the two governments.Regardless of the fact that the Rong family was Emperor Zhaode's own uncle's family, most people in the imperial capital felt that Duke Lin's mansion had a profound heritage, and that the dowry would be better than the Rong family, so there were quite a lot of people betting on the Rong family.

When the day when the two families posted their dowry, everyone was shocked.

The glorious dowry of the Rong family, all kinds of jewelry, famous paintings and antiques, spiced cloth, medicine furniture, plus all kinds of odds and ends, are enough to dazzle the eyes of the dowryer.

Comparing with the Lin family, 5000 taels is a huge sum of money for an ordinary family, but as far as the prince's mansion is concerned, 5000 taels is really not worth mentioning.Especially compared with the Rong family, the dowry of the Lin family is so crude that it is embarrassing.

Even Princess Jinling felt somewhat dissatisfied when she heard about it.It was Chen Xiya, the eighth son of Jinling Prince, who comforted his aunt and said, "The Yue family is a well-behaved family. Besides, the son is a dowry for marrying a wife, not for plotting against his wife. The Lin family is upright, and it is a blessing for the son to marry a daughter of the Lin family."

Princess Jinling sighed, "That's all."

Chen Xiya smiled. The simpler the Lin family was, the more prominent the Rong family was.The more low-key the Lin family was, the more arrogance the Rong family showed.The Lin family's move is truly wonderful.If the Lin family really went to compete for dowry with the Rong family, then Chen Xiya would look down on the Lin family.

Even Tang Ying knew about the Lin family's move, and admired the Lin family, not to mention the always critical and harsh Qingliu.With the Rong family as a contrast, the Lin family's character is fully displayed.

Lin Jing made this contribution for the family and asked Lin Yi for a reward.Lin Jing rubbed his little hands, with a look of pity, "Oh, I thought and thought, and I couldn't sleep for several days because of the torment. That's why I didn't get involved in the gambling game between our family and the Rong family's rich dowry in the imperial capital."

Lin Yi tapped him on the head, and said, "Hum, it's a good thing you put up with it, otherwise today's dishonest claws would have to be planted." I was still relieved that the younger brother knew the severity.

Lin Jing grabbed Lin Yi's belt and twisted it crookedly, "Big Brother compensates me for the loss."

"I'll pay you back." Lin Yi said, "Tell your sister-in-law to give you and Nian'er more monthly money."

"How many taels of silver are there?" Lin Jing looked down on those small coins.

Lin Yi said, "Don't just go back to study, did you forget the promise?"

"No, no, no, big brother must give me a reward." Lin Jing grabbed Lin Yi's belt and hung his feet in the air, and there was a sound, and the jade belt around Lin Yi's waist was torn in two. Haw made a fuss!

Lin Yi frowned slightly, Lin Jing was quite serious, neither crying out for pain nor coquettish, he reached out and pulled Lin Yi's trousers, ready to get up.As a result, no one expected that Lin Yi's trousers were pulled down to the bottom of his ankle by Lin Jing.

Lin Yi's face was completely blackened. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Jing got up and ran away, not daring to ask for any benefits.

Lin Yi simply...

When the Lin family married a daughter this time, even Emperor Zhaode, who was slightly dissatisfied with the marriage between the Lin family and the clan's palace, could not say anything.On the contrary, Rong Songhuai muttered in private, "I am a real person, and I always love my children. Especially my daughter's family, how can I let my daughter suffer?" Every word was directed at the Lin family.

Even Emperor Zhaode, who had always been soft-hearted, felt a little uncomfortable hearing it, and said lightly, "Oh, so that's the reason. I'm still thinking about it. I heard that there is a three-foot-high coral tree in my uncle's house, which is unparalleled in the world." I'm still thinking, when I was not enthroned, my grandfather was only a fifth-rank official, where did I get my wealth? It seems that uncle can do something."

Rong Songhuai turned pale immediately, and before he could explain himself, Emperor Zhaode had already scolded him in a cold voice, "How did I treat my uncle, and how did my uncle repay me! How have I ever treated the Rong family badly! It's just that I am incompetent. , Now I’m still jealous of the virtuous and capable! With this kind of time, why don’t you review yourself and rectify the family tradition!”

Rong Songhuai was about to kneel down to plead guilty, but Emperor Zhaode said impatiently, "Forget it, I have something else to do, you can step back."

Rong Songhuai got a bad nose and walked away in a hurry.

Zhao De said in front of Empress Dowager Lin of the Palace of Mercy, "Mr. Lin Guogong can be regarded as a model for foreign relatives."

Empress Dowager Lin said softly, "When a daughter of the Lin family gets married, the dowry of ten thousand silver is given to the first daughter, and five thousand silver for the concubine daughter. This is also an old rule, and there is nothing unusual about it."

After speaking, Queen Mother Lin smiled and said, "Speaking of which, there was one time when I made an exception."

Emperor Zhaode asked, "Which time?"

Empress Dowager Lin looked softly, "It was when I married the first emperor. At that time, the family paid 3 yuan for dowry, and my mother gave me a private house, which was about [-] taels."

Emperor Zhaode thought that Empress Dowager Lin's daily expenses were not extravagant, and said seriously, "Mother, I understand."

The Rong family paid a large amount of dowry. Originally, they wanted to dominate the Lin family, but they did not want to, but it was self-defeating, and the family lost face.There is even an unknown source of impeachment by the censor who was born in Qingliu to impeach the Rong family's huge wealth.

It was a good marriage, but the Rong family was disheartened and shameless.

Even the King of Jinling made up his mind, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to invite Chen Xiya to be the crown prince for his eighth son. Chen Xiya resigned modestly, "My sister-in-law just passed away. When she was alive, she took good care of her son. Besides, the elder brother just lost his position as the eldest son. There is also the matter of my nephews, and I am sad. Father, this matter is not urgent, there is no harm in delaying it."

King Jinling said, "We are already in-laws with the Lin family. Now that the Lin family is in full swing, it would be a double blessing if I can seal you the crown prince before marriage. It is the second girl of the Lin family. If she marries, she will be the crown prince and concubine of the Lin family. glory."

Chen Xiya said, "It's still within the filial piety of my sister-in-law, my son really can't bear to become the eldest son at this time."

The King of Jinling sighed, looked at his handsome and handsome son, and said, "This is not something you think about. Your elder brother lost his position as the son of the prince because of his thinness. It would be a great fortune if he can be granted the title smoothly."

Chen Xiya saw that the King of Jinling insisted on asking for the title for him at this time, so she could only say, "Father, please ask for the title at this time, I am afraid that His Majesty will not allow it."

The King of Jinling raised his eyebrows, "If you can ask the Lin family for help, there is an empress dowager in the palace to intercede, and I am His Majesty's uncle, I think His Majesty will give me this face."

"Yes, what the father said is correct." Chen Xiya said softly, "However, the Lin family will not help our family with this."

King Jinling frowned slightly, "Why?"

"This time Lin Rong's family is marrying a daughter together. It is normal for everyone to compare the dowries of the two families. However, it is a bit abnormal to make such a commotion and the city is full of storms, father." A ray of sorrow appeared, "If my son's predictions are correct, it should be that the Lin family deliberately spread the rumors and set up this trap. The Rong family had little plan, so they fell into this trap without precaution, and were caught by the Lin family."

"The Lin family's clever calculations not only polished their own reputation, but also framed the Rong family. The key point is that the Lin family did not show any traces of what they did. The Rong family slapped themselves, and they couldn't tell if the Lin family was wrong." Chen Xiya said, " A shrewd family like the Lin family will not stand up for me at this time. If they take the opportunity to intervene in the government affairs for our mansion, what the Lin family did earlier will become a joke."

"Father, why is the Lin family willing to do such a thing?"

The King of Jinling sighed, "It really is worthy of being a long-standing family." Such far-sightedness is by no means comparable to that of the Rong family.Thinking of the Rong family's marriage, the honey turned into arsenic, and it would not work if he didn't eat it. The King of Jinling would vomit to death.

The Jinling Prince's Mansion's memorial to invite the crown prince can only be suppressed for the time being, and it will be the day of marriage in a blink of an eye.

The Jinling Palace was bustling for three whole days. Chen Xiya married a wife who was more valuable than she imagined, so she naturally took care of her in every possible way, but when she had sex, she saw a thin pink scar on Lin Ping's left forearm that had just faded, and she couldn't help asking why. .Every lady, when drawing a flower or embroidering a flower, usually protects her hands with beeswax, for fear that her hands will become thicker, not to mention such obvious traces, one can tell at a glance that there must be a reason.

Lin Ping didn't want to talk about it, what a shrewd person Chen Xiya was, and under tenderness, she questioned Lin Ping thoroughly.Chen Xiya sighed secretly, he really liked the Lin family, but unexpectedly Lin Ping got into such a fight with her own family because of marrying him, it's really... stupid...

However, with an in-law like the Lin family, it's not worth it for this idiot to marry.What's more, Lin Ping looked and was in good health, so Chen Xiya simply enjoyed it to the fullest.

Princess Jinling was not Chen Xiya's biological mother, because Chen Xiya lost her mother when she was young, so Princess Jinling came to support her.Now that her own son has lost the position of the eldest son, Princess Jinling naturally wants to support her adopted son who has always respected her.Therefore, Fang tried his best to get his adopted son to come to Lin's family for marriage.

What's more, the Lin family is in the limelight, and it's in the imperial capital, Princess Jinling doesn't pretend to be a mother-in-law, and the young couple enjoy themselves in the room.After all, Lin Ping was born as a lady, so she was always a bit shy.However, the more she was like this, the more interested Chen Xiya was, and she teased the green body a little bit, watching the white body blushing, the legs slightly apart, honey juice flowing out of the Taoyuan, and an unbearable moan escaping from her throat ...

Chen Xiya fiddled lightly with her hands. Lin Ping was ashamed and timid, her face was on fire, but her body trembled uncontrollably, her eyes were in a daze...Only at this time, Chen Xiya would ruthlessly enter Lin Ping's body, bringing her She climbs to supreme bliss.

In just three days, Chen Xiya made Lin Ping obedient and obedient.

When Sanchao returned home, Lin Ping still had a coquettish look on her eyebrows, and she said to the Yue family in a very sensible way, "I was ignorant at the beginning, and I offended my elder brother and sister-in-law. I will apologize to my elder brother and sister-in-law." Go down deeply.

Mrs. Yue hurriedly helped her up, and said, "Sister, what are you talking about. Today is Sanchao Huimen, and I ordered the cook to cook the dishes that my sister likes."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lin Ping smiled, no longer had the cold and aloof appearance before, not to mention a lot of life, but she was also very good at being a human being.Yue's heart secretly marveled.

Even in the front yard, Lin Yi opened his eyes.

As soon as Chen Xiya entered the academy, she knelt down for Lin Yi, and said in a deep voice, "This time, I came here not only to accompany Ping'er home, but also to plead guilty to my elder brother."

"When my sister held a flower banquet in the mansion, I happened to see Ping'er's appearance, and I had evil thoughts. I once seduced her in private. Why." Chen Xiya said with a bit of pain in her eyes, "Ping'er insisted on marrying me, which made elder brother angry, and the root cause is all my fault. Please blame me, elder brother."

Lin Yi said, "Get up."

Chen Xiya didn't hang on the ground, she got up and gave a deep bow, "Brother wants to be beaten and punished, I have no other words. Just please don't be angry with me and Ping'er, we have something wrong, just give me a reprimand and give pointers." .We know our mistakes and we will correct them.”

The idiot Lin Ping actually married such a man.Lin Yi's expression remained the same, he pointed at the chair, and said in a warm voice, "Sit down and talk."
