Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

Dajin Qianyuan September [-]th.

The ancients once said that autumn in Yangzhou is the three-autumn osmanthus, ten miles of residual lotus, September is just the best season in Yangzhou, the willows are green, revealing the faint spring that has not been taken away by the cold wind, and a little dew is faintly condensed under the eaves. Looking at the blue sky and maple red, it is a beautiful scene.

The sunset slanted, and the fishermen sang late.

"Mother?" Ning Yun got off the carriage from the second gate, and went straight to Wang's residence. When Wang saw her daughter, she also rolled her eyes, hugged her in her arms, and said, "My son, you are back. gone."

Some said angrily, "Why is it so late? Look at the sky."

Mrs. Wang thought of an important matter, "Is the eldest girl of the Lin family home?"

In the first lunar month, Shi Ding, the newly appointed governor of Jiangnan, came to Yangzhou, while Ning Yun was left in the palace by the Empress Dowager Cheng Shu. Ning Yun was able to leave Beijing until September 70, the wife's [-]th birthday. It just so happened that Daiyu was summoned into the palace by Queen Wei to give lessons to Princess Huiye, who was born by Queen Wei. The two resigned and returned to Yangzhou together.

As soon as Ning Yun entered the room, he sat on the imperial concubine's couch. He was busy taking off his cloak, and then went to the inner room to change some light clothes. Before he came out, he heard Wang's words and said with a smile: "Of course. It’s here, the chief envoy’s house is closer to the gate of the city than ours.” Then he explained why he came back late today.

"When we entered the boundary of Jinling, we met Miss Xue and Mrs. Xue on the road. After all, they were relatives, so we couldn't save face, so we sent them back along the way." Ning Yun looked at Wang's expression and said, "Xue Madam is kind-hearted and soft-hearted, she even asked me to ask her eldest son about... that matter."

Said, I feel a little helpless.

At the mention of Aunt Xue, Wang couldn't help but almost burst out laughing, and almost closed the tea bowl on her body.

"Still thinking about that girl from the Xia family?" Mrs. Wang shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I can't hold up the mud on the wall. Last time he fell in love with Miss Lin's accountant maid. Whose maid do you think he can't do?" , I just fell in love with your sister Lin, this girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she almost ruined the Xue family's business, but with the salt affairs, the Xue family is over."

Wang suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

"Didn't he say that he didn't marry Miss Lin's accountant maid, so he smashed his head against the door of Lin's house? Why did he let it go so quickly?" Wang muttered and said out loud.

Ning Yun cleared his throat, and then laughed again: "That girl is a lucky one, otherwise if another person is replaced, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand up for her easily."

There is quite a reason for this matter. Xue Pan was originally a dude who was always in love with others. As a result, he came to Yangzhou a few years ago because of business matters. By the way, he took advantage of the friendship between the Jia family and the Lin family to meet with Lin Zuo. So, this visit is not a big deal, he fell in love with Xue Ling, the servant girl in front of Daiyu, and she was soft-spoken when she went back, forcing Aunt Xue to show her face shyly, begging Jia Min to come forward as a matchmaker.

Xue Ling's real name is Zhen Yinglian, she is a girl from a good family. She was enslaved because she was sold by a kidnapper. After being bought into the Lin Mansion, because she is smart, she served directly in front of Daiyu.

Daiyu was sad because she was separated from her parents at a young age, so she entrusted someone to look for Xueling's parents. It was a coincidence that she found Zhen Shiyin and Feng's couple after going back and forth. However, after staying in the Lin Mansion for so long, Xue Ling also showed feelings, and she was a teacher of Yu Daiyu, and couldn't bear to leave. Now she is still helping Daiyu in the Lin Mansion as a handkerchief handover.

If it was an ordinary official lady, I am afraid that the major issues would have been resolved long ago, and since Aunt Xue talked about Jia Min, she would naturally follow the trend, but Daiyu is not, although she likes to play tricks in front of her acquaintances of the same generation. Small, but in the end there is a heart of sincerity. Jia Min mentioned this matter to Daiyu on the front foot, and Daiyu told Lin Hai on the back foot that Xue Pan and the youngest son of the Xunyan censor's family had been close before, and now they are asking to marry Zhen Yinglian, I don't know if she has other thoughts.

In the past few days, Lin Hai has been very unhappy with the new Xunyan Yushi, not to mention that his layout in the south of the Yangtze River was in vain-in the last life, the Supreme Emperor finally set things right, abolished the emperor, and established the Li Wang.Now that the emperor ascended the throne and the Supreme Emperor passed away, Lin Hai was in a mess, with ghosts in his heart, and was more sensitive to political affairs. Hearing Daiyu's words, he immediately became vigilant, and naturally talked to Jia Min, and there was nothing wrong with this matter. The following is up.

It happened that Daiyu was summoned by the queen, Daiyu didn't tell Jia Min, she just took Zhen Yinglian away, and when she was teaching the princess in the palace, she introduced her to Queen Wei, who also thought Zhen Yinglian was smart, I stayed directly as an accompanying reading for Princess Huijing produced by Han Zhaoyi.

Xue Pan got the news and knew that the beauty was hopeless—according to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, most of the princesses accompanied by the princess were married after the princess got married, or joined the family of the third rank or above, or joined the meritorious family. Naturally, she would not marry a child like him, and she cried bitterly in front of Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue felt sorry for Xue Pan. After she lost her husband, she supported the family business by herself. It was not for the sake of a good life for her two children. She couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning that night. The next day, she came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, and asked Xue Pan to apologize. By the way, I told the Zhen family that there is no concubine in my family, which must be justified by Daiyu.

In the end, what she didn't expect was that she had a good conversation with Feng Shi, and she talked about Xue Pan's infatuation with Zhen Yinglian, so she didn't want to marry her. As a mother, Feng Shi was very moved and almost nodded, but When Xue Pan went out to fool around, he met a girl from the Xia family who was passing by...

Everyone in Jiangnan was a little bit dumbfounded.

"The eldest daughter of Minister Lin Buzheng is a wonderful person...but it's strange to say that this child Baochai has such a temperament, who knows that this guy, alas, is not at all like his father." Wang shook her head helplessly, " Luckily there is Baochai, otherwise the entire Xue family would be ruined."

Ning Yun took it for granted.

"How is Brother Xin? Can you talk?" Ning Yun saw Fang Nanny walking in with a chubby child in her arms. She stretched out her hand to tease her, and asked Wang.

The name of Wang's son was Shi Xin, because he was always sick that day, Mrs. Tai was afraid that she would not be able to raise him, so according to Yanbei's custom, Ning Yun, the elder sister, gave him the name.

It just so happens that the generation of Shi Ding and Shi Nai's son-in-law is next to the word Xingxin.

"Call me sister." Ning Yun pointed at himself.

Brother Xin uttered an indistinct cry, and stretched out his hand to Ning Yun to hug him. Ning Yun looked at Mrs. Wang with a helpless look of crying and laughing.

"What's the matter? Hug it." Wang said with a smile.

"I'm afraid I'll fall him." Ning Yun saw Brother Xin drooling when he laughed, and suddenly regretted giving his brother such a name.

"Speaking of it, grandma's birthday, who is coming?" Ning Yun sat down next to Mrs. Wang, knowing that their mother and daughter had something to discuss, so Nanny Fang lifted her body and carried the child out.

Only then did Wang turn to the topic, she counted the invitation cards, "This is the Zhou family, the Wu family, the Liu family..." While reading to Ning Yun, she deliberately took out a bronzing invitation card from the bottom, the invitation card was not It is conventional, there is no signature, but there is a big private seal on the top, Princess Jinghua, and two small seals on the bottom, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Dingguo, and Mr. Yutang.

Dingguo Hou Lin Xi's nickname is Yutang.

Ning Yun looked at Wang Shi.

After all, Mrs. Tai is also an aunt from the Lin family. Although the branch of Marquis Dingguo had some entanglements with the branch of Gusu, everyone is not bad at all, and the etiquette is thoughtful. It's not surprising.

It was Wang's reaction that made Ning Yun a little strange.

Wang Shi looked at her and pursed her lips, as if she was in some embarrassment and embarrassed to speak, her eyebrows relaxed for a while, and wrinkled together for a while.

Ning Yun didn't ask any questions, just waited for Wang's explanation.

After a while, Mrs. Wang said coyly: "A few days ago, Madam Pingxihou went to her hometown to visit the grave, and she also called on me..." She said hesitantly, "Her sister, Madam Dingguohou, wants to marry you for her four sons." .”

Zheng Jinglan, Mrs. Pingxihou, is the direct sister of Mrs. Zheng Qiniang, Mrs. Dingguohou, and also the biological sister of Mrs. Dingguohou Lin Xi who passed away—— and Mrs. Shuhou.

"According to the rules, you are now a second-rank princess with a solid seal. Compared with the princess, it should be the royal family who made the marriage proposal. If you step back ten thousand steps, you also want our family to propose marriage to others, so I didn't say death at the time. Ask what you think." Wang Shi said, and she looked at Ning Yun's expression carefully, "You are also old, I have met Master Lin Si once, he looks dignified, well-educated, and he is also a well-behaved person... What do you think? look?"

From the perspective of someone who has experienced it, Mrs. Wang feels that this marriage is still feasible, the children are motivated, Lin Xi is the second assistant to the court, Mrs. Zheng is also generous, and Lin Yuzhen is even more popular in front of the empress.

To say that the Wang family also has a bit of luck in it. The Dingguohou is hereditary and the most popular family in the court today. Lin Si's background is a bit weaker. The daughter came down, but Lin Xi didn't invite the crown prince, so it's really uncertain whether there will be any other changes at that time.

Wang's plan was like this. If there were no previous changes, she would have agreed for Ning Yun long ago, so why wait for someone to come back and ask again?

Ning Yun is her daughter, so she must think more about it.

According to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, no matter whether a man or a woman is a man, marriage proposals are made from top to bottom.

Ning Yun was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about his severe joints, he couldn't help laughing, "I don't think it's appropriate."

Mrs. Wang was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why do you say it's inappropriate?"

Ning Yun shook her head, the jingle of Nanzhu earrings was shining brightly, making her hair as blue as a crow and her face as peach-blossomed, she said to Wang with her fingers: "In my opinion, there are four levels of inappropriateness in this marriage.

The first level, now Lin Yuzhen is not her former identity, a county lord, but a princess, and it will be difficult to get along with each other. If there are some entanglements, how should the balance be balanced? The Zheng family, the royal family, our own family, and the Lin family, these four are mixed together , the father is a bit difficult to be a man;

On the second floor, I saved the sage, Lin Yuzhen saved the empress, and now both of us are in power, if we marry again at this time, I am afraid that the queen will be suspicious, and if there is a word of doubt, how many princes will be ruined?

The third level is the most important level. The Dingguohou family has no sons. The four sons of the Dingguohou family, the eldest son and the second son are from the original spouse. , the only one who can get it now is the fourth son who served as the deputy general of An Guogong in the northwest.And Mrs. Zheng wants to marry me, but she intends to put pressure on Lin Xi when he asks for his eldest son in the future. She thinks that Lin Xi may consider studying immediately, and the fourth son who has not been adopted, but, "Ning Yun said sharply After a turn, she counted for Mrs. Wang.

"Although Mrs. Heshu died early and her two sons were mediocre, her elder sister is Mrs. Pingxihou, and her eldest daughter Lin Yuyi is the commander-in-chief of the army and horses in the world today. Mrs. Shizi, the second daughter Lin Yuzhen is Princess Jinghua." Ning Yun smiled and spread his hands, "If Lin Xi wants to establish the fourth son of Lin, he will directly carry it to the Mu family and the Hu family, so Mrs. Zheng's son wants to be the prince. The possibility is basically non-existent.”

Wang's eyebrows raised, as if they were about to disappear into the sideburns, she rubbed her temples.

Seems to be the case.

"As for the fourth floor..." Ning Yun approached Wang with a smile, and said, "Mother, I don't want to marry, I just want to be an old girl at home. Of course, if I want to, I can really help him up, regardless Whoever I marry, I can help him become a great minister in the future, but I think this whole life is in a courtyard, a world, planning for a second person, fighting with concubines, and intrigues with sisters-in-law, what's the point?"

She has been a human being for two lives, and she can see through life.

Ning Yun admits that she has power in her bones, but she was born tall in her life, her mother's family is strong, and she came into contact with the palace before she got married, so what's the use of her getting married?

In the final analysis, she went to help others to work hard, seeing that other people are extremely human ministers, and she is just one of the thousands of purples and reds. At that time, one of them is not, or her mother's family has been implicated in something, and there may be a risk of going down. , it's better to think about how to make yourself more powerful.

Ning Yun's words were truly shocking, and Wang was completely stunned.

The author has something to say:
