Auntie Lin of the Red Chamber

Emperor Xikang’s trip this time can be regarded as a light car, but there is no other way. During this time, the palace in the capital also has to celebrate the New Year, and the year-end summary and other cumbersome matters, the emperor has to stay. The ministers are going to do it, so I only ordered three ministers who are more sacred to accompany me.

Emperor Xikang was considered to be an emperor who treated himself kindly. When he traveled, unless there was an urgent war, he would bring his concubines and concubines with him. This was not too much. After all, wherever he went, There will still be local officials presenting beauties, so the one or two pink cars are submerged in the emperor's long guard, so as not to appear too abrupt in solemn occasions and affect the image of the emperor.

But people who often hang out in the officialdom also know it, so when the emperor said that he could "bring his family", except Lin Ru's two overseas officials, Mr. Liu, the head of the Imperial Academy, and Mr. Feng, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, I took my wife with me for granted.The first purpose is, although not equal, but it can also be said to be "madam diplomacy" in an essential sense. The second is to show the emperor the harmony and unity of his family, and to show that he is not lustful and has always been in love with his wife. Well, after all, the stability and family harmony in the official backyard is also a bonus.

However, it was so unfortunate that the emperor did not bring concubines this time. He only brought a concubine and two concubines from the lower ranks in the harem. The status of these three people was only as high as that of ordinary court ladies. See a little bit.The main function of these three people is to serve his food and clothing. In terms of river crabs, since his mood has not been so good, there is no such need for the time being.Of course, we do not rule out this aspect, that is, high-ranking concubines either have children, or the mother-in-law is not weak. In this period that has exhausted him physically and mentally, he really does not want to see him again during this trip where he can relax a little. to them...

And the two wives who accompanied their husbands thought it was another relaxing trip where they could get rid of the tedious housework in a fair manner, and thought it was another romantic trip where there were no annoying goblins to block the eyes and only they and their husbands were there. The fact is that from the start to the destination, they were just trapped in the carriage or in the tent. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Feng were dumbfounded, frustrated, depressed, bitter, and wanted to tickle others...

It was not like this before. Although the scope of activities of high-ranking concubines was also restricted, they could still walk around and hold parties, and sometimes they were allowed to form groups to go out on horseback and go hunting.The wives said that although flattering the imperial concubines was a bit laborious, it still did not prevent them from having fun, so every time the emperor traveled, the officials and wives waited anxiously for His Majesty to give permission to "bring the family" The golden mouth and jade words.

But this time, the emperor didn't know what kind of style he had, he suddenly changed his style, and only brought two low-ranking concubines who in the eyes of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Feng were like fox spirits at home, and they were not qualified to lead the officials. The family members come out for activities.Therefore, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Feng had to stay in the carriage during the day and camped in the tent at night.

The two wives didn't know that not only were they regretting this trip, but their husbands were also regretting taking them out.Lord Liu and Lord Feng: Look, that Lin Ruhai is so cunning, he brought his boy, that boy is not only cute and smart, but also eloquent, look how much fun he made the emperor...

Lin Ruhai was also secretly happy in his heart. His original purpose was just to bring his son out to see the scene first, to get acquainted with the courtiers. Of course, if there is a suitable opportunity, he would also be willing to bring his son to the emperor. Dangle in front of you.But who would have thought that God would help in such a way that His Majesty the Emperor did not love beauties but loved children instead.

If you let Emperor Xi Kang say, he is not the kind of person who is very childlike, but, isn't there an idiom called "touching the scene to make love".As I said before, he was so angry with his unfilial sons that he came out to let the wind out and catch his breath. Now, by chance, he saw the son of his favorite courtier who was lively, cute, clever and pleasing, especially the The vigor of the tiger made the emperor who knew his destiny in his early years couldn't help but also gain momentum, and it also warmed the heart of his bloody old father who was hurt by unfilial sons.Because every time he looked at the child in front of him, he couldn't help but recall that his sons were still young, and they were so cute, looking at him with adoring eyes...

Therefore, the emperor, who would not wrong him at all, took the time to sneak the young master of the Lin family to his side to relieve his boredom, amuse him, and of course study with him as a companion.This is because Lin Yan is a good student with self-discipline, and when he travels, he also brings the homework assigned by the master with him.Every time Changtai felt that he had finished playing and it was time to study, he would directly say to his father's biggest boss: "Your Majesty, I can no longer play with you, I have to study and do my homework."

In his cognition, Changtai, who is six years old, still remembers his father's instructions to be good and obedient and not to make the emperor angry, etc., but his understanding of imperial power is not so deep. The old man with the highest status among the people is quite kind, and treats him very easy-going, so Changtai liberated his nature more and more...

It has been decades since Emperor Xikang came into power, and this little guy in front of him is the first person to interrupt his interest and even snub him. Emperor Xikang, who is the focus whenever he appears on camera, went from being stunned and amazed at the beginning to being normal-hearted. Sometimes, regardless of status, I will automatically act as a timer for other people’s children, such as reminding the brazen little guy who dared to commit the following offenses against him: You should practice calligraphy, you should drink water, and you have a bad smell today... ·· Even when the youngest of the Lin family was practicing Go, he, who has been immersed in the Go world for decades, would feel compelled to play Go with a child from the Go Miaomiao class. On the scene, the tears of the two bullied by other people's children...

Lin Yan, a big bun, felt that his father's job was really not easy, and he had such a boss with a bad personality.Of course, he doesn’t think that weird old man is bad, but it’s good when it’s good, such as giving him lectures and knowledge, such as taking him to play, especially what makes Changtai Baozi most satisfied is that that strange old man will not only Teach him to ride a horse, and he will also lecture his father who raised objections. Think about it, he is sitting in the arms of the strange old man, watching his father standing under the horse being told to bow his head and admit his mistake, Changtai feels that feeling That's great······

But the old man is also very bad when he is bad, for example, he always loves to bully him, for example, he likes to tease him, especially when he is so old, he even comes to steal the snacks his mother prepared for him, although after being caught by himself , he used his own snacks as compensation, but his cook made them for him, how could his mother make delicious ones for Changtai...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A big family has many rules. For example, even if there are only two female masters in the family, there must be one of them during the Chinese New Year.But Mrs. Lin's pregnancy was unwell at this time, and she couldn't preside over the New Year's Day, so Mrs. Lin had to go to battle to prepare for the New Year's Day after more than ten years.They were all used to doing it when they were young. Although they had put it down for many years, the old lady knew it well after looking at the gift list and personnel one by one.So, for the next period of time, the busy old lady dispatched troops and strategized, while still reliving the sassy days of her youth in her heart.Perhaps people should be active. After the most intense period of work, the old lady not only did not feel tired, but even felt that her old arms and legs seemed to be more flexible...

On the afternoon of the Laba Festival, the old lady was about to try the Laba porridge for the last time at home. When her daughter-in-law Jia Min arrived, the old lady asked her to sit in the room for a while, and she was going to complete the last attempt. .You need to be careful with this one, it is a gift for relatives and friends, if it tastes bad and gets a bad review, the Lin family will lose face a lot this year.This is not allowed. Although the old lady is not a very strong person, but this is incomparable. If this porridge is not cooked well, the old lady feels that she will really let the previous wives of the Lin family feel sorry...

Jia Min came to her mother-in-law to talk about one thing, that is, Wu Jin is pregnant, and there will be no one to serve Lin Ruhai, so she needs to add new people to Lin Ruhai.Jia Min thinks this matter is an important responsibility of her housewife. She was so concerned with taking care of her health before that she neglected this matter. Fortunately, she remembered it now, and fortunately, it is not too late.So when the old lady finished her work and rested, Jia Min explained the matter in detail, and she also introduced the two newcomers she had prepared in advance to the old lady carefully.Although she is Lin Ruhai's wife, it is her business to take any concubine for Lin Ruhai, but her mother-in-law is still around, so it is more appropriate to go through a scene in front of her mother-in-law.

The old lady looked at Jia Min with a calm face, she was silent in thought, but she was wondering: what happened to her daughter-in-law, what is she going to do?She suddenly became enlightened?The old lady didn't understand Jia Min's real intentions, so after much deliberation, she decided to refute the proposal, saying: "It's the cold winter months, and it's the New Year's Eve, so it's not easy for these two delicate girls to travel all the way to the capital." It's not suitable, let's talk about it after the beginning of spring next year, and I know my son, if he wants concubine Ji, he won't wrong himself."

It's not that the old lady is saying that her son is lustful, but she is well aware that officials in the capital city give each other concubines. Sometimes Shangfeng and princes reward some beautiful concubines. The emperor bestowed more important and beautiful court ladies.This thing is so common and common, so as long as a man has the ability to stand in a certain position, it is not uncommon to have no matter how beautiful women are...

When Jia Min heard her mother-in-law refute her proposal, there was no emotion on her face, but when she heard the following words, Jia Min's face turned pale instantly.Before she came, she had already imagined the scene where the old lady would refute, and she was prepared in her heart, so she was very calm when she heard that she was really rejected, but she was still stabbed by the last thing her mother-in-law mentioned. It's one thing to add a new person to your husband, but it's another thing for him to hug you left and right without her knowing.

The old lady watched her daughter-in-law's graceful figure go further and further away even though she was more than six months pregnant, her heart fluctuated.She only has one son, so she naturally hopes that her son's family will be happy and the house will be stable and harmonious.So in the past few years, even though Jia Min was still childless, and her son was still fighting against her mother in order to protect his wife, she turned a blind eye and let it go. After all, it is a good thing for a son and daughter-in-law to be harmonious, isn't it?

Later, with Wu Jin, Wu Jin gave birth to four more sons. Seeing that Jia Min hadn't done anything inappropriate, the old lady became more lenient towards Jia Min's rudeness.For example, Jia Min even persuaded Lin Ruhai to be more respectful to the Jia family, but the old lady pretended not to know and didn't pursue it.But now, what happened to Jia Min's surprise today? It is definitely not in line with her usual style.The old lady thinks she should find someone to talk to...
