[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

The whole afternoon was spent on galloping horses, and the end result was that Pei Zijun was proud of the crowd with his habitually strong physical fitness, while Mr. Wen, who had not recovered from his illness, was unfortunately blown by the cold wind and seemed to have a cough again.Lin Ze wiped off his stinky sweat, and finally washed it at Wen Xibai's house, but unfortunately, Wen Xibai was infected with some cold bacteria.

After Lin Ze unceremoniously took two bottles of Begonia dew from Wen Xibai's boss, and bid farewell to Pei Zijun who kindly sent him to the door of his house, he found that the atmosphere in the house seemed to be very wrong as soon as he entered the door.

Sure enough, when Lin Ze entered the inner courtyard, he saw Qingmei waiting there, and Bai Guo also had an anxious expression on his face.Seeing Lin Ze approaching slowly, he hurriedly said hello, and then said repeatedly that the girl was not happy there, and asked the uncle to go over and have a look.

Lin Ze's expression froze, and he hurried to Daiyu's residence without bothering to ask.Before entering the door, she heard Qing Xing urging her to something, and she saw Dai Yu wiping her tears with a handkerchief.What's the deal? !

"What's the matter? It's a good day, but I started crying again." After speaking, Lin Ze had already sat down, looked up at the servants in the room, and asked in a cold voice: "Miss, today is a birthday present, Why did you get angry again? Let’s just recruit honestly, if not, hum.”

Daiyu originally meant to feel wronged, but now that Lin Ze was defending her so much, she felt aggrieved and said with tears in her eyes, "Brother!" Before she could say a word, the tears were already rolling down, which made Lin Ze feel very distressed .

Lurou sighed softly and said: "Uncle has been away for half a day, but he didn't know that the second wife of Jia's family is too... Although they are blood relatives, they shouldn't stab people with every sentence. Fortunately, the Queen Mother is here , and Mrs. Shen defended it vigorously, otherwise, what good would it be like to have our girl?"

When Lin Ze heard this, his heart was filled with anger, he threw a cup resentfully, and cursed: "What a family with hairpin tassels, it deserves it!" A meal, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart at the moment.

Daiyu wiped her tears, and seeing Lin Ze like this, she refused to be wronged any more, she just grabbed Lin Ze's cuff with her hand, and said softly: "Brother, don't be upset, the Queen Mother also gave me a severe reprimand today, give me a lesson. I was ashamed of my second aunt for a while. It's just that there were so many people present at the time, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my face."

Lin Ze nodded, thinking: The Wang family is usually domineering, cruelly abusing the concubine, and the reputation of kindness has disappeared a few years ago.Now that there is such a commotion in front of Princess Beijing, hmph, I think life in Rongguo Mansion will be sad in the future.

Not to mention how Lin Ze comforted Daiyu, only Lin Ze went out from Daiyu, but suddenly heard that Lin Ruhai was "invited" to Jia's mansion, and immediately said "no".Because I was busy, I asked someone to set up a car and went to pick it up in person.

As soon as I entered Jia's mansion, I saw the servants and women scattered in the mansion, drinking and gossiping.Lin Ze glanced coldly, and felt that Jia's mansion was really the most unruly place, even though he was a young man who couldn't even enter the second door, he put on airs like a master at the door, so shameless!

After finally being ushered into the Rongxi Hall, Lin Ze heard faint human voices coming from inside through the felt curtain.It was vaguely the voices of the second wives of the Jia family, Wang Shi and Wang Xifeng.Pushing open the door and entering, Lin Ze realized that it was serious. This was the old lady of the Jia family. Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng sat at the bottom. Sitting next to Jia Zheng was the second wife of the Jia family, Wang Xifeng. Standing beside Mrs. Wang, she frowned slightly, as if she was extremely distressed.

Lin Ze's eyes sank, and he quickly glanced at the two women dressed as young women behind Wang. He had seen Shi Xiangyun before. As for the other one who was dressed in gold and silver, it should be Xia Jingui who entered the door on the same day as Shi Xiangyun. .

These people were in a stalemate, but when Lin Ze pushed the door and entered, they all turned their heads to look at Lin Ze in unison.

"I haven't seen the old lady for a long time, so I'm here to say hello to the old lady." Lin Ze lightly lifted the corner of his robe, greeted Jia Mu who was sitting there, and then greeted Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang one by one, with a gentle and elegant manner, The temperament between the eyebrows is even more shocking than before.

Wang Xifeng covered her lips and said with a smile: "My good brother, I can't wait for you any more. The threshold of our family seems to be too high. Fortunately, I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today. It’s also scratched, so I want you to come in, brother.” The words were quick and sweet, and Jia’s mother smiled and went to beat her, and Lin Ze also smiled face-to-face.

"My good brother, sit down quickly, there is no one around here. If your second sister-in-law doesn't boast, she should be more capable than the girl serving in the room." As he said, he personally brought tea to Lin Ze to eat, which provoked another Several people laughed.

After Lin Ze sat down, Mrs. Wang could no longer hold back, she just glared at Lin Ze angrily and said, "Brother Ze is so arrogant, you won't come if you ask thousands of times, why did you come here today? I don’t know what kind of blessings we have cultivated on the door.” One sentence was so sour that even Lin Ze was a little toothache.

Jia's mother drooped her eyelids and said nothing, Wang Xifeng only felt bitterness in her mouth, and the lively atmosphere was so easy, but was beaten back to its original state by the second wife's words.

Lin Ze put down the tea cup in his hand with a faint smile, and said with a slight smile: "It's not worth anything, but I feel a little uncomfortable, even the Holy One has clearly ordered me to rest at home. He's an uncommon person, and if I trouble Second Aunt to be so worried, I'll make up for it first." After all, it's been a long series, and the sincerity of the action is very good.

Seeing this, Jia's mother only glanced at Wang secretly, and stopped her remaining words.Turning around, I looked at Lin Ze twice, and then smiled again: "You are the most filial, your second aunt is just worried about you. Besides, we are all relatives of the same family, and you originally came from Yangzhou thousands of years ago. Wan came here, even if he has lived in Beijing for a few years, how can our family be cheaper than ours." Speaking of this, there is a hint of reproach.

Before Lin Ze could open his mouth, Shi Xiangyun had gone over gently to give Jia Mu a pat on the back, and said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't want to bother me."

Lin Ruhai and Lin Ze drank tea leisurely, and were not willing to share a word.They can remember their grudges very much, and they never forgot how the eldest girl of the historian family deliberately tried to ruin Daiyu's boudoir reputation in Xiaoxing Forest.Even though Daiyu's status is noble now, and her marriage is approaching, the Lin family's father and son are also very narrow-minded.

Seeing that the Lin family's father and son ignored Shi Xiangyun at all, Xia Jingui covered his mouth and smiled: "My good sister, it's thanks to you to say that. The ancestors said that they are all blood relatives of the family, so why separate them from each other and alienate them instead?" Sister, you are too thoughtful, and you don’t need to bother about these family affairs. Alas, I can only sigh that I am the most vulgar person. Here and there, one person treats them as two people!"

Although these words were said with a smile, the meaning inside and outside the words was that he had a gun and a stick, implying that Shi Xiangyun didn't ask about everything every day, and only wanted to be pampered with a high bed and soft pillows.On the contrary, it was her, Xia Jingui, who worked hard for the sake of her family, but it was not good.With a pun, even Jia Mu's usual dislike was pointed out in the words.

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, his face was a little embarrassed.

In the past, it was fine to talk about these things behind closed doors in the Yihong Courtyard, but today they also made a fuss in front of Uncle Lin and Lin Ze, and there was no need for others to make jokes and break the rules.

Seeing that they were quarreling one by two, Jia Mu coughed and said in a deep voice, "It's rare for my aunt to come to our house, and I don't have to let him see the joke. You two should talk less. , Baoyu is all served by you two caring people, if you have something private to say, just say it in private, why are you still talking here."

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly bowed his head, and Xia Jingui had something to say, but under Jiamu's stare, he had to bow his head reluctantly.

After watching this scene, Lin Zebai drank half of the tea in his bowl, and seeing Wang's expression, he sighed, this is the main scene.

"If you want to say this, I shouldn't say this as an aunt. There is only a girl who takes care of the inner house. She is young, so there must be something wrong. It's just that my aunt is a man, and many things are not easy to say. .As an aunt, I have to ask a big question today, so that I can tell the difference."

Seeing that Lin Ruhai and Lin Ze didn't pay any attention, Mrs. Wang quickly glanced at Jia Mu who was sitting in the seat, and then said: "The girl and Ji are originally a happy event. We are all blood relatives of the whole family. Such a big event, my aunt actually I didn't ask anyone to post a message to invite me, so it's too much to say..." As she said, Wang tucked the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then smiled again: "Besides, I went to the mansion today, so I don't know anything. Treat her with courtesy. Auntie left early, leaving this orphan and weak child behind, so it would be nice to let others bully her..."

Speaking of this, the tragic card was played, and even the deceased Jia Min also spoke out.Lin Ze's eyes darkened, and he was already very unhappy.

The Wang family still didn't realize it, and Jia's mother also whimpered: "I think, among the children I gave birth to, Wei Min'er is the one who loves me the most. After she left, I felt like a piece of flesh had been gouged out of my heart, and it hurt day and night." Very much. Waiting for Yu’er to come to Beijing, I just thought that I was entrusted by the old man, who would have thought... Now Yu girl is also a gift of Ji, and she has never even visited me, a grandmother, to tell her about it. , who can believe it?" As he spoke, he kept looking at Lin Ruhai's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai's reaction was very cold, even Lin Ze just lowered his eyes as if he had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Jia's mother was angry, and said angrily, "Now I'm half-buried in the ground, and I have nothing else to think about. In Du Yu'er's major affairs, Jiji has been decided by the Queen Mother of Beijing. , but this marriage that I'm looking at, does my aunt have any plans." Although this question was a question, the tone was completely positive.Presumably it was expected that Lin Ruhai couldn't bear to refute his own face because of Jia Min's sake.

Lin Ze sneered, thanks to the fact that Jia's mother used to be discerning, but now that Jia Baoyu has been involved in many troubles, she is not as prepared as before.

Lin Ruhai put down the tea cup in his hand slowly, and said to Jiamu: "My son-in-law is not filial, I'm afraid he will refute his mother-in-law's good intentions."

Looking at Jiamu's widening eyes and Wang's impatient look, Lin Ruhai still explained slowly: "If Yu'er is just the daughter of my son-in-law, it's a gift, and my mother-in-law should worry about marrying in the future." However, now Yuer is also the adopted daughter of the empress, carrying not only the glory of our two houses, but also the nobles of the heavenly family, the emperor and the empress have also instructed them to look after each other when they get married in the future."

"This..." Mother Jia sighed softly, hearing Lin Ruhai's words, she couldn't say anymore.It's just a pity, and I still think that if the Lin family and the Zhen family are tied together, they will even kiss each other in the future, and they will be even more inseparable from each other.

Mother Jia's idea is nothing more than for the glory of the family.But Mrs. Wang only thought about how much more grand the occasion of Daiyu and Jili was than Yuanchun and Jili back then, and even the Jiji ceremony when Baochai was in the mansion back then and a few dozen taels of silver was just enough.Thinking of the gathering of noble ladies in Beijing, the empress dowager and the prestigious Mrs. Shen were all present, so is it true that Lin girl's worth is not what it used to be? !

Thinking of visiting relatives in the moon palace this month, Yuan Chun also mentioned that the money in his hand was not enough, so Mrs. Wang inevitably moved her thoughts to the Lin family.Although she looked down on that narrow-minded girl Lin, she couldn't stand her high status, and this aunt of the Lin family had retired from the position of inspector and censor, and the money in the house might be comparable to that of the Xue family.

Therefore, when she heard that Mother Jia intended to make decisions about Daiyu's marriage, Mrs. Wang's heart became alive.

However, there is still some gap between the two minds.
