Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

"Your Majesty seems to be very happy today. Could it be that there is some happy event?"

The saint went to the Queen's Kunyi Palace that night.The saint and the queen are young couples who share joys and sorrows.Although the sage also has pets in the harem, there are some things the sage will only say to the queen.The sage and the empress once had two sons, but it was a pity that the eldest son died when he was eight years old, and the third son died when he was only one year old.

The couple who had two prostitutes who died in succession were deeply saddened, but it never affected their relationship. Instead, it made the couple more considerate of each other.

Because the queen has no children, she treats the concubines in the harem very justly, and because the sage respects the queen very much, even the favorite concubine dare not disrespect the queen.

Young couples have been married for decades, if anyone knows the saint best, it must be the queen.The saint is in a good mood, even if he is not a star, the queen can tell immediately when he sees the saint.

"Did Zi Tong see it?"

"I saw Lin Ruhai today. This Lin Ruhai is worthy of being a Tanhualang, and a capable minister valued by the old sage. He should be half of the credit for the treasury tax."

"This Lin Tanhua is not only a capable minister, but also a man of practical knowledge."

"That's right. What Zi Tong said is good. He is a hero, but he is an old hero."

The saint looked at the queen and said, the queen was amused by him.

"I don't know how many girls in Beijing were fascinated by Lin Tanhua's demeanor back then, and I don't know if Lin Tanhua still has the same demeanor now."

"It's been 20 years, how can there be any style."

The sage said in distaste, and the queen smothered her smile and tactfully did not talk about this topic again.

"Lin Ruhai has made a great contribution this time. I have to reward him with something. I can't let people think that I have won the meritorious service. But this Lin Ruhai is a person who is valued by the old sage. It is not good to reward him too lightly or too heavily. It's difficult for a while, Zi Tong thinks for me what I should reward Lin Ruhai."

"Has Your Majesty already bestowed an official on Lord Lin?"

"It was given to the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, but it was the meaning of the old sage." This is the old sage's reward, not his reward.I was tricked by my own father, so my majesty is worried.

The queen understood the meaning of the saint when she heard the words, she pondered for a while and smiled: "If your majesty wants to reward Lord Lin, what's the problem?"

"What did Zi Tong think of? Say it quickly."

"Your Majesty, do you remember that His Majesty told my concubine about Master Lin's successor?"

"You are Jiang. What does this have to do with her?"

"Your Majesty once said that although Lord Lin's stepmother is called Lord Lin's cousin, she was in fact the servant girl of Lord Lin before his wedding, and because of the rules of the Lin family, he left the house before Lord Lin's wedding..."

The empress recounted the story from Jiang Wanyin's stay in Lin's mansion to Li's mansion giving birth to her adopted son and then marrying into the Lin's family.

"Zi Tong seems to have a good impression of this Jiang family?"

"Although Mrs. Jiang is a servant girl with a lower family background, she is a rare and wonderful woman. It is not easy for a woman to raise a child by herself. What's more, she not only earned the family business by herself, but also raised her son so well. Even if I am a concubine, I am afraid it will be difficult to do what she does, and this Jiang family can't help but admire me even if I am a concubine."

"Jiang is such a strange woman, it's no wonder that Jia couldn't tolerate her after knowing about it."

While admiring Jiang Wanyin, the queen also lamented Jia Min, Jia Min's misfortune and her suicide.

"This Jiang family is indeed a strange woman. If it weren't for her, the Lin family would be extinct." His Majesty also remembered the news that Cha Lin Ruhai had received, and he knew that Jiang Wanyin knew martial arts and medicine and gave birth to two sons for Lin Ruhai.

However, the sage is not interested in Lin Ruhai's family affairs, he is worried about unresolved matters.

"It's just that Zi Tong, what did you mean by mentioning her?"

"Your Majesty, on the surface, this Jiang family is not only Lin Da's cousin, but also remarried to Lin Da Lord as a widow. According to the court regulations, women who remarry are not allowed to enjoy the shadow of their husbands and receive imperial orders. This Jiang family is Lin Da. Your Majesty has given birth to a pair of sons, so he must have a deep love with Master Lin; after Lin Jiangshi has continued the Lin family, Master Lin must be grateful. Husband and wife are one, since it is inconvenient for Your Majesty to reward Master Lin, why not reward Lin Jiangshi."

"Besides, Your Majesty, didn't you appoint Lin Jiang's eldest son as Tanhualang in this department, and I think that Xiaolin Tanhualang will also join the job soon, and he will definitely ask for an imperial order for his mother, so His Majesty bestows Lin Jiang's imperial order. It's not illegal."

The sage thought for a while and agreed to the queen's proposal.

"Fortunately, there is Zi Tong to share my worries."

"Your Majesty is being polite to my concubine again, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, it's my fault."

"I heard that Mrs. Lin Jiang is a rare beauty. I wonder if I can ask her to come into the palace to take a look. I am curious about what kind of strange woman this Mrs. Lin is."

"Why not. Later, I will give you a royal order and ask her to enter the palace to thank you."

"That's good."

"Your Majesty appointed Mrs. Lin's eldest son as Tanhua Lang. I wonder if Xiao Lin Tanhua has the demeanor of Lin Tanhua back then?"

"There is a saying that blue comes from blue and is better than blue, so Xiaolin Tanhua is."

"This Jiang family is raising children." The queen said with emotion, "I heard that Xiao Lin Tanhua hasn't married yet?"

The sage looked up at the queen upon hearing this.

"Why, for whom did Zitong fall in love with Xiaolin Tanhua?"

"Princess Zhuang Ping mentioned it to my concubine when she entered the palace a few days ago, saying that that child Yizhen also saw Xiao Lin when she was visiting the imperial horse on the street."

"I'll wait and see about this matter. You can ask Mrs. Lin Jiang when she enters the palace."

"My concubine knows."

Jiang Wanyin, who was missed by the sage couple, was talking about Lin Daiyu with Lin Ruhai at this time.

"What's the matter with Yu'er today? Is there something unhappy? I think she seems a little depressed."

Lin Ruhai suddenly asked about Lin Daiyu, Jiang Wanyin paused for a while while pulling the quilt, then continued to pull the quilt and said:

"Where is this today? She has been like this since she came back to Beijing. I asked her and she didn't say anything. She just shied away because she was not feeling well. She refused to let me ask for a doctor."

Jiang Wanyin stopped and looked up at Lin Ruhai.

"Do you know what she calls me now?"

"Daiyu calls me mother now."

Jiang Wanyin's expression was a little dull.

"Before, she was the closest to Yu'er. After arriving in the capital, she never asked Yu'er a word. Seeing Yu'er today, she didn't even call her brother."

"In Yangzhou, Daiyu came to see Ankang every day, and played with Ankang. After arriving in the capital, she never came, except today, she never came to the main courtyard."

"In the final analysis, it's because I'm not her biological mother. I'm afraid the child will blame me for her biological mother. It's just because I implicated Yu'er and Ankang."

Lin Ruhai frowned upon hearing this.

"Is Yu'er really like this?"

"It's been so long, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"After coming to Beijing, the family needs to resettle the things brought from Yangzhou, and also needs to take care of you and Ankang. It is inevitable that I will be negligent when I am busy. I thought she was considerate of me, but I didn't think much about it. I also came to I just discovered it today, and I will tell you about it even if you don’t ask."

Lin Ruhai listened to Jiang Wanyin's words, and reached out to hold Jiang Wanyin's hand.

"It's all for the sake of your husband, which makes you tired. Yu'er's temperament is probably like that of Jia's. She is sensitive and thoughtful. It must be because the slave at the Rongguo Mansion at the wharf said nonsense to her that day. Thinking too much. She is still a child, don't worry about her, I will talk to her tomorrow."

"I don't blame you. It's just related to Jia Shi. I can't say anything. You can talk to her."

"Ma'am, don't worry, leave this matter to your husband."

"Master, now that your official position has been decided, shouldn't you also prepare for the visit to the Rongguo Mansion?"

"Yes. With Daiyu here, it is inevitable to go to Rongguo Mansion. You just look at the preparations. Things don't have to be expensive, as long as they are not rude."

Although Lin Ruhai didn't want or want to go to Rongguo Mansion in his heart, but for Lin Daiyu's Rongguo Mansion, he must go there.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

"In addition, I found Jia's dowry list, and Jia's dowry is also stored in a separate warehouse. Tomorrow, you can give Daiyu the dowry list and the key to the warehouse."

"What is this for? Don't you take care of it well?"

"I originally thought that Daiyu would take care of her when she was young, but now it's not suitable for me to keep these things, so I should give them to Daiyu earlier."

"Yu'er is still young..."

Jiang Wanyin interrupted Lin Ruhai:

"I still have two sons. Even if it's not for the sake of my own reputation, I also think about my sons, so as not to be charged with the crime of seizing the dowry of my first wife and implicating my sons. Besides, I don't lack these things. Looking at them now It’s also a shock, why should I make myself uncomfortable.”

In the ten years since she left the Lin family, she has earned a lot of family property and money.When she married into the Lin family, all her family property and money were brought into the Lin family as her dowry.Her dowry is only more than Jia Min's, not less than Jia Min's.She may not like Jia Min's things.

"In short, I don't care. You can take those things tomorrow. As for whether to hand them over to Daiyu or find someone to take care of them yourself, you can decide for yourself."

"Hey, let me tell you why..."

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. It's getting late, let's rest earlier."

Lin Ruhai wanted to say why you bother with a child, but Jiang Wanyin interrupted him before he could say anything.Seeing that Jiang Wanyin had already laid down and closed her eyes as if she didn't want to talk or listen, Lin Ruhai sighed helplessly, and then lay down too.

The next day, Lin Ruhai really talked to Lin Daiyu, but Jiang Wanyin didn't care about what the father and daughter were talking about, and didn't care.

Anyway, she has a clear conscience towards Lin Daiyu; if Lin Daiyu is still like that, she will only take care of Lin Daiyu as an ordinary stepdaughter in the future, and she will not lack her food or clothing.Anyway, Lin Daiyu is almost ten years old now, and she will be married in six or seven years.She can't see her left and right eyes, and she doesn't bother to worry about it.

Lin Yu is about to join the job, and Jiang Wanyin is busy preparing for her son.And after the son joined the job, the marriage should also be put on the agenda.She has a lot of things to do, and she doesn't have the heart to worry about an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

Because Lin Ruhai and Lin Yu are both busy, the matter of visiting Rongguo Mansion has not yet been decided, but Rongguo Mansion seems to be impatient. On the day Lin Ruhai received the imperial decree to serve in the Ministry of Rites, Rongguo Mansion sent servants to deliver posts. .
