[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

"The old matriarch is not the same as us when he enters the palace. After all, the flesh and blood relatives of the whole family, I think we bothered a lot when we lived in your mansion."

Before seeing anyone and hearing her voice, Mother Jia looked sideways, and the woman with hairpin gold and jade was not the aunt of the Xue family who was being favored now.Seeing Aunt Xue walking over with a smile on her face, Mother Jia's expression was displeased, but after all she was old and smart, she just covered her expression and showed a faint smile.

"Now the Concubine Duan is receiving favor. Although she is a relative of flesh and blood, she is too close to make people gossip." As she said, she did not forget to bring Xue Pan along, and said: "What's more, brother Pan is now She wants to get ahead, if she is provoked by the gossip of someone with a heart, she will inevitably get into trouble, Auntie should be cautious in her words and deeds."

Aunt Xue's face froze slightly when she heard the words, and she didn't care at all when she saw that Jia's mother kept saying that she wanted to draw a line with her family.He only smiled and said: "After all, it is the old lady's foresight. We women are the most helpless." As he spoke, he covered his lips and smiled, while rolling his eyes, his eyes flickering, as if he had something to say .

Jia's mother was puzzled, only thinking that since Baochai won the favor of the emperor by virtue of Yuanchun's favor, her family and Xue's family have been in a state of being indifferent to each other.In previous years, during the holidays, I never saw the Xue family sending gifts. Today, I don’t know what kind of wind is blowing. Aunt Xue, who is usually the least happy to have anything to do with her family, is so careful to accompany her with a smiling face.

Just as she was thinking about it, Aunt Xue laughed and said, "Today is a good day, I just heard about it from the little maid in the empress's palace, this concubine Jia was still thinking about her sister a few days ago, why did she enter the palace today How about visiting relatives but not seeing my sister?"

Mother Jia squinted at her, saw her smiling face, and didn't want to refute her face, so she said coldly: "She is not feeling well today, and when she woke up early, she said that she was top-heavy. No. My aunt has such sensitive ears, I haven't heard that my mother is thinking too hard."

Aunt Xue was silent for a moment, then took a closer look at Mother Jia, and said softly: "My sister is in a bad condition, and my heart feels like frying oil. I think when I was at home, my sister and I were as good as one person. Today, I heard that she I'm not feeling well, I should go to visit one or two."

Mother Jia couldn't see what kind of medicine Aunt Xue was selling in her gourd, but seeing Aunt Xue's sincere expression, she couldn't return her.Although she knew in her heart that Aunt Xue would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, she must have something on her mind when she rushed to see Mrs. Wang, but she had to hide two or three sentences when Aunt Xue said it, and she didn't want to. The idea of ​​inquiry.

Zuo just let Mrs. Wang figure it out for herself, although Yuan Chun has not fallen out of favor in the palace, she is still a head lower than Xue Baochai.The two were pregnant at about the same time, but they only gave birth to a princess.The Emperor's desire to get a little prince faded a lot because of the birth of the two princesses, but he treated the two concubines who gave birth to the princess for him.

Everyone in the harem is busy, Jiamu doesn't know that Yuan Chun also takes every step in this harem, and every step is very difficult.If someone is willing to help, it will not be so cautious.

This is also the biggest reason why Mother Jia wanted to win over the Lin family.

Although she is Lin Ruhai's mother-in-law, but Jia Min passed away for many years, even if she had any affection, she would be very distant.Daiyu keeps claiming that she is her grandmother, but she has a noble status now, and the empress and the emperor are planning for her wholeheartedly, now she is flying on the branches, even if she wants to cling to her, she can't hold back her face.Then there is Lin Ze, at such a young age, he can already see a bright future in front of him, but it is a pity...it is not Miner's blood, after all, he is separated from him by a layer.Lin Lan is still young, not to mention Lin Zezhuyu in front, Lin Lan is not very outstanding, vaguely heard that this child is very close to Brother Huan.

At the beginning, if Daiyu and Baoyu were made into a pair, it would be the best thing.

Lin Ruhai is really Jane in the emperor's heart now, and Jia's mother regrets it.If she had made her own decision at that time, Daiyu would have nothing to say.But, it's too late now.Tan Yatou is a concubine, even if she is top-notch in everything, she is not worthy of the Lin family's family status.Mother Jia knew this very well, but it was a pity that she lost such a great help from the Lin family.

Now that Aunt Xue is willing to curry favor with her, it must be Baochai's instruction.Jiamu was a little proud. It seemed that Baochai's life in the palace was not so good.It is better to forge an ally for Yuanchun than to make an enemy.

Jia Mu thought a lot in her heart, but her face remained silent.He only nodded to Aunt Xue and said, "You sisters should have more contact with each other, and you should not be estranged from each other." As he spoke, he laughed and said, "Your Majesty first mentioned that brother Pan is also promising now, but it should be early These looks like a family."

Aunt Xue showed a bit of embarrassment on her face, but she tried to smile and said: "The old lady is very right, but it's just Brother Pan's temper. I've seen it for him, I'm afraid he still thinks it's wrong. Ken. The old lady is very lucky, she has a house full of children and grandchildren, seeing that Baoyu is now promising, it is still more than enough to throw Pan'er a few streets away."

One sentence really coaxed Jia Mu to laugh, and her face was not as calm as before.Aunt Xue hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and only said that it would be better to hit the sun than to choose a date, and it would be better to go to see Mrs. Wang while it is today.Jia's mother was being coaxed to be happy by her, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she said, so Xue's carriage followed Jia's carriage and entered Rongguo Mansion.

"How is sister? My sister is late, don't blame me!"

Letting the maid pull up the felt curtain, Aunt Xue entered the room with a smile. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Mrs. Wang sitting on the kang, and a dignified woman was sitting on the other side. Aunt Xue's eyes flashed, and she already guessed in her heart that the person coming must be the wife of the Jiangnan Zhen family.

When Mrs. Zhen saw Aunt Xue coming in, she was taken aback, but after a while she realized that she just smiled and nodded at Aunt Xue, then turned her head to smile at Mrs. Wang and said, "Look, I just mentioned that you are a little tired. Then someone came to see you, and it seems that I have delayed your rest."

As soon as the words fell, a girl standing beside Mrs. Zhen had already pursed her lips and smiled. She only supported Mrs. Zhen's arm and blessed Wang, "Madam, please forgive me."

She has a beautiful face and a pair of bright and charming eyes. Mrs. Wang liked her very much, and heard her speak well, so she couldn't bear to blame her, so she quickly stretched out her hand to take Miss Zhen San's hand and said with a smile: "You child is too honest. , and you can’t hear the joke between me and your mother.” After finishing speaking, he said to Mrs. Zhen like a reproach: “You too, I’m not afraid that the child will take it seriously.”

Mrs. Zhen just pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words, without saying anything else.On the other hand, Aunt Xue watched from the sidelines for a while, and was very satisfied when she saw Miss Zhen San's appearance was pretty and pleasant, and her demeanor was very classy. Ma'am, please don't blame me." Then he said to Wang: "I heard the old lady said that my sister was unwell, so I hurried over to have a look, now that my sister looks fine, I feel relieved."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Wang only nodded lightly.

Mrs. Zhen watched the interaction between the sisters, and she knew in her heart that Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang had made a long-cherished wish, and no one could hide anything in the palace from anyone's gossip.Mrs. Zhen often attends the garden and flower viewing parties of the ladies. She has heard these rumors a long time ago.Looking at it now, it only confirms that those rumors are indeed true.

Aunt Xue was a little embarrassed by Wang's reaction, but seeing Mrs. Zhen and Miss Zhen San beside her, she ignored Wang's attitude and asked with a smile, "This is...?"

"This is Mrs. Zhen, her family just came from Jiangnan." Wang's introduction was very perfunctory. She intended not to ask Aunt Xue to make other ideas, but this kind of introduction was very inappropriate. Not to mention Mrs. Zhen, it was Zhen San The young lady's face was also a little ugly.

Aunt Xue saw it with her sharp eyes, and immediately sneered in her heart. This sister of hers is really a lumpy head. She was afraid that she would ruin her good deed, but she didn't want to think about her perfunctory introduction, asking Madam Zhen and Zhen San What does it feel like for the lady to hear it in her ears.

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "It turned out to be Mrs. Zhen. I think this must be Ling Qianjin, the third lady of your residence."

Miss Zhen San's beautiful eyes shone slightly, and she asked with a smile: "How did Madam guess that I was ranked third?"

"The eldest lady and the second lady of your mansion were married a few years ago. If Mrs. Zhen wants to travel far away, she must bring the youngest daughter with her." This is a very ingenious and ironic word, and Miss Zhen's third smile crooked With a pair of eyes, even Mrs. Zhen made a lot of affection for Aunt Xue.

Mrs. Wang looked suffocated, until Mrs. Zhen said goodbye to herself with a smile, and went out with Miss Zhen San, then she looked coldly at Aunt Xue who had been smiling all the time. "Your sister is so clever, and Madam Zhen is full of praise for you. I just don't know why my sister came to the door suddenly today. I'm afraid that the Jia family has one now, and the Xue family is not bad, right?"

Aunt Xue's eyes flickered slightly, she still smiled and said: "My sister is really forgetful. My sister originally came to see how my sister is doing. The old lady also knows about this. Why should my sister be suspicious of me? I just didn't expect, My sister is receiving guests here, but I bumped into it."

Wang snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "Don't look at me because I can't see through your mind and use these words to coax me. You might as well be honest about what you are planning, lest I disregard my sister's affection in the future."

For the fact that Baochai entered the palace to be favored, Wang really hated Aunt Xue and her daughter.It's just that she didn't think about it. At the beginning, when she tried her best to promote the marriage between Baoyu and Baochai, she probably wanted to covet the wealth of Xue's family.

However, Mrs. Wang didn't care about these reasons. She just looked at Aunt Xue's smiling face to welcome her, and instinctively felt that Aunt Xue came to the door today with a conspiracy.

Thinking of Mrs. Zhen and Miss Zhen San who had just gone out, Wang's eyes froze, and she gritted her teeth word by word: "Could it be that you are following the Zhen family's idea?"
