The Founding of the Red Chamber

As soon as Lin Yi left, Lin Jing felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, but he didn't expect that after his elder brother left, the family followed him to see a happy event, that is, his sister-in-law, Yueshi, was pregnant again.As a result, Lin Jing felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.

When Lin Jing went to the palace to say hello, he even said to the queen mother's aunt, "When my sister-in-law was pregnant with Aze, my elder brother received a mission to the Xiangyang reeling bandits. After my elder brother left this time, my sister-in-law became pregnant again. Auntie, What a coincidence you said."

Lin Yixian was delayed by his parents' filial piety, and Fang Chuchu became a father at the age of 25. The Empress Dowager Lin was naturally happy to see the prosperity of her natal heirs, and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence. Then you have to take good care of your sister-in-law."

"Aunt Tete used to say that as long as I was at home, I would eat with my sister-in-law every day. I even asked Aze to live in my yard because I was afraid that he would quarrel." Then, Lin Jing introduced him to him The education of the little nephew, "A Teng and I taught A Ze to read and write. A Ze is so smart that he taught two characters a day and asked them the next day. He remembered them clearly."

Empress Dowager Lin smiled, "It's not as good as when you were young. When you were young, Concubine Kong Guifei came to talk and talked about the phrase in Zhang Heng's "Return to the Field" "Er Nailong sings in Fangze, and the tiger roars in the hills." When you have dinner in the evening, you Suddenly I read it out. Later, I learned what I was taught.”

Lin Jing is usually a person who has to boast about himself when no one praises him. What's more, although he likes to act like an adult, he is still a child. He loves to hear the elders' praise. How old is Ze now?" He still felt that his little nephew was extremely smart.

Empress Dowager Lin smiled.

The Yue family was pregnant, but Lin Yi was not at home. The Queen Mother Lin ordered many nourishing medicinal materials to be rewarded to the Yue family.Lin Jing also graciously invited Mrs. Yue to come over to visit his sister-in-law. The main reason was that Lin Jing really didn't like Mrs. Yue. When the sister-in-law gave birth to Lin Ze, because the first child was not easy to deliver, Mrs. Yue insisted that it was Lin Jing. gram.Every time Lin Jing thinks about this matter, he will be very narrow-minded and talk about Mrs. Yue's long hair, short knowledge, old and confused.It is also because of this festival that Mrs. Yue treated Lin Jing extra politely, because she was too faint and offended Mr. Lin Si. The two families are in-laws, and her daughter is the elder sister-in-law.No, Mrs. Yue is wronged.

When Mrs. Yue heard that her daughter was pregnant, she immediately came to see her.Speaking of which, although the Yue family went through some ups and downs at first when they married into the Lin family, it can be said that they have come through all hardships and rewards now.Needless to say, the Lin family is noble, but what is rare is that the family style has always been gentle. Even when the Yue family was pregnant and took over Mrs. Yue's care, the family in the Gongmenhou's Mansion in the imperial capital is really the first one. .If it is left in another big family, it is the mother-in-law who wants to come over, and the in-law's family has to be picky and say whether they suspect that they can't take care of the daughter-in-law at home.

Lin's family is different, Lin Yi is not a rigid person because of the early death of the old Duke and Mrs. Lin Yi has no objection to the mother-in-law coming to take care of his wife, even at home.When the Yue family was pregnant for the first time, it was Mrs. Yue who came to take care of her.

Now that the eldest brother is not at home, Lin Jing still invites Madam Yue over. Although she is a bit annoying and has little knowledge, she can still talk to her sister-in-law on weekdays.

Mrs. Yue is very happy to come to give birth to her daughter, although Yue is already three months pregnant, and the fetus is quite stable.However, Mrs. Yue is still willing to come and stay with her daughter for a while, especially since her son-in-law is going on a long-distance business trip at this time, and her daughter is alone and pregnant with a child, how can she feel better.

Mrs. Yue said, "My son-in-law is really relieved to leave this family behind. The small ones are small and the weak ones are weak. You said, it's fortunate that your mother's family is in the imperial capital, otherwise, you would have no one to rely on. It's also fortunate that you are guarding you." Otherwise, if my son-in-law claps his hands and walks away, you will have a big belly, so I don't have to worry to death."

Yue's temperament is very different from that of his mother, Yue said, "Where is your mother exaggerating, some of the family are served by servants, outside things are Ah Jing, and my aunt often sends people to reward things. Besides, I It's still shallow, and before the birth, Xianggong will definitely come back." While tidying up the clothes worn by the eldest son and the second son when they were young, Yue said, "Furthermore, even if Xianggong doesn't travel far, he still has to go to the yamen every day in the imperial capital. , and can’t stay by my side all the time.”

Mrs. Yue sighed, and said, "Although our family is a civil official family, you look at the weak, but you are actually a hot-blooded person. Marrying into this military general's family is also against your temper. Otherwise, if you change the second person, you will cry and go back to your mother's house." gone."

Yue said with a smile, "Mother, what you said is too exaggerated."

"Where am I exaggerating, look at all the ladies in the imperial capital, which one is not delicate and weak." Mrs. Yue regretted that her daughter was not very delicate, and felt that it was because of her aggressiveness that her son-in-law suffered several times. When my daughter was pregnant, I went on a long-distance business trip, and I didn't know how it hurt.

Lin Jing has heard quite a lot about Mrs. Yue's fallacies. He is not from the Yue family, and he doesn't need to give Mrs. Yue face. He just said to Mrs. Yue, "What's so good about being delicate and weak, those who are bullied are weak. Besides, old mother and mother, you like delicate people so much, is it because you are not too delicate?" This old lady is not of Jiaohua's temperament, but she has a special liking for Jiaohua for some reason.

Lin Jing's words really made Mrs. Yue dumbfounded.Mrs. Yue was old enough not to shake her mouth with a child like him, so she teased him, "Oh, Ah Jing, you don't seem to like delicate people."

"That's right! Whoever marries a daughter-in-law who is weak, can't manage the affairs inside, can't manage the house outside, then who will do these things in the house, it's hard to get two concubines and let the concubines take care of them." Lin Jing said , "Now the emperor doesn't know what's wrong. Girls are all fashioned to look like willows in the wind. They all wish they could be thin and only have a skeleton. I don't know where the beauty is. Look at my sister-in-law, the sky is full, and the earth is full. Fang Yuan looks like a blessing at first glance, most of all Wang Fu Wang's family."

Mrs. Yue laughed straight, "If it wasn't for the fact that the fourth master has already made a marriage agreement, with the knowledge of the fourth master, I would have to tell you that we are close friends."

"Don't bother you, old man. With your eyes, you can't tell me about a delicate flower." Lin Jing teased, Mrs. Yue was angry and funny, and said to her daughter in private, "Everyone else's family is full of sister-in-law, you The family is good, my uncle is so tricky."

Yue Shi laughed, "Fourth Uncle doesn't do that to others, he just does it to you, Mother."

Mrs. Yue whispered, "Oh, what does he remember?"

"Fourth Uncle is not a stingy person, maybe he can't get used to listening to your mother, but in fact he has already forgotten it in his heart. Fourth Uncle only talks like this to his own family."

Mrs. Yue sighed, "Why don't you say that people can't do wrong things, I just said that one time..." At that time, she was also worried about the safety of her daughter, so she said something that was taboo.As a result, just this one sentence made him unable to hold his head up in front of Lin Jing today.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yue has one advantage. She has a thick skin. Although she is often teased by Lin Jing, she lives happily with her son-in-law.It's just that Mrs. Yue was happy for a few days, and the eldest daughter-in-law invited her mother-in-law back because of something at home.

The Yue family saw that the younger sister-in-law invited her mother home without explaining the matter clearly, knowing that something serious must happen, so she hurriedly went back to her mother's house to inquire about it with her personal maid.Fortunately, there was nothing serious about the Yue family. It was the second younger sister of the Yue family who got angry at her husband's house and went back to her mother's house to cry.After Mrs. Yue settled the matter of the second daughter and came to talk with the eldest daughter, Mrs. Yue didn't appreciate frailty at all at the moment, and Mrs. Yue said angrily, "Your second sister is too weak, as long as you have half the ability , and it will not be bullied."

The Yue family said, "I don't have any skills, it's all up to the man. It still depends on the brother-in-law. If the brother-in-law can keep it, he can block whoever puts him in. If the brother-in-law has this heart, it is someone else If you don’t arrange someone for him, he might be tempted by himself.”

Mrs. Yue was always annoyed that she was mistaken and asked her second daughter to marry such a heartless family as Hu Hu.He also hated the second girl for being too weak, relying on others to bully her, so as not to annoy others.

Lin Jing was also speechless about Mrs. Yue's fickle aesthetics.

When Lin Jing erased his name and his fiancée Xia Yunchu's gossip, Xia Yunchu said, "It's really rare and strange, even a delicate person can't be so delicate when it comes to personal interests. This is not a rare thing, the girl from Baixiang's family , married a boy from the Rong family. That white girl was originally the most inhumane person. When they first got married, I heard that they also loved each other for a while. Later, the Rong family boy took a concubine. At first, the white girl was sad and haggard, but Who cares about her. Those who love her are her natal family, and no one in the Rong family is willing to love her daughter-in-law. Now Miss Bai has figured it out, and if she doesn't feel happy, she will call those concubines in front of her and beat her to death, brat of the Rong family Feeling sorry for my concubine, Miss Bai even beat him together, and now she beats honestly, several concubines have been released, and she knows that An An is living a life."

Xia Yunchu said, "When you meet such a cheap girl, it's not a girl who has a delicate temperament, but she is born to be weak. If she is honest, she will be at peace." As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Jing vaguely, Ask him, "You said, is this the truth?"

Lin Jing felt that if he didn't nod, he might be beaten, so he nodded quickly, "Yes, what my sister said, could there be something wrong?" He confessed himself, "I'm not that kind of person, I have a noble character , sister, you know it very well, don't you?"

Xia Yunchu smiled, "I didn't mention you, come, have a snack. Try it, this is my new Yunpian Cake."

Lin Jing ate an unappetizing snack at his fiancée's place, and went home and said to Lin Teng, "This woman, although she is too delicate to be the director of the family, is too powerful to be a headache."

Lin Teng, "No matter how powerful a woman is, she still has to listen to a man."

Lin Jing, "You're not right, you have to listen to whoever is right."

Lin Teng, "Then why is Uncle Jing worried? In terms of reasoning, no one can explain it better than you."

Lin Jing, "Of course I am justified, but I am afraid of meeting a fierce woman."

Lin Teng, "We men can't beat women, no matter how tough we are."

Lin Jing, "How can a dignified man fight a woman?"

Lin Teng, "I can't touch it, so what's the matter? I told my fourth uncle that I don't want to marry a wife in the future."

Grandma Zhang came over, "Master, go to sleep quickly, and when you fall asleep, maybe you can find a solution in your dream." At a young age, the daughter-in-law is long and the daughter-in-law is short. Isn't this a dream?

Both of them lay down to sleep, Lin Jing couldn't help thinking, it seems that Mrs. Yue's words are not without reason, and it's not bad for girls to be weaker at the right time.Then, Lin Jing couldn't help being clever again, and secretly recited the Buddha's name in his heart, thinking how he, a masculine and manly man, would have fallen to the same level as an ignorant woman like Mrs. Yue in terms of aesthetics.Although Sister Xia is a bit powerful, she is not someone who intends to have three wives and four concubines.Sister Xia is the same, she can't speak well if she has something to say, she has to beat him around and warn him, making him frightened.
