The old lady of the Lin family in Honglou

Lin Lin was thinking, maybe things are far more complicated than she thought, and what the red building shows is only the tip of the iceberg.This society is a real existence, the concentration of imperial power, class struggle is intricate, if no strength is twisted into it, there will be no scum left in the end.Although Lin Lin is a common man and she takes it for granted that she is well protected by her family, she still knows what she should understand. There are so many news TVs in modern times that are not for nothing.Lin Lin couldn't figure out how the Lin family existed, but she should be able to avoid some things with just a few words.

Lin Lin was thinking about what she should do to protect her children. She lacked a direct understanding of this society, and it would be bad if she did something bad with good intentions.Lin Ruhai's ability to take care of Lin Ruhai in the Red Mansion should not be bad. Now his son is still young, but he is taking care of many things.It seems that I have something to talk to my son, and my son should check it out.

Soon the sound of footsteps outside disturbed Lin Lin, and after a while, Nanny Lin led an old doctor in. Behind the doctor were two children and four servant girls with bamboo branches. The room suddenly felt crowded.

"Ma'am, Dr. Chen is here." "Hello, Mrs. Lin, Madam looks much better, and she will recover in a short time." The old doctor stepped forward to greet her.

Lin Lin nodded and said nothing.Dr. Chen examined the pulse for a while, and said that although the pulse of the wife is still weak, it is not a serious problem. She only needs to prescribe another medicine and fine-tune it for a month to recover.Lin Lin asked Nanny Lin to take the doctor down to prescribe medicine.

There is still a month to recover, Lin Lin thinks this time is not bad, after all, the physical feeling is really bad.After a while, there was another sound of footsteps outside. It sounded like there were quite a few people, but the room was too quiet.

"Mother, what's the matter, just entered the yard and the doctor went out, is mother okay?" Lin Ruhai came in first in a hurry.

Lin Lin felt warm when she saw her son worried and anxious, "Mother is fine, it's just that the doctor came and changed the prescription for recuperation."

Lin Lin looked behind her son, and a slender and lithe woman followed closely. Don't think this is the daughter-in-law Jia Min.Lin Lin observed the new daughter-in-law, and to be honest, Lin Lin didn't like her at all, regardless of whether this was a red building or not, Lin Lin didn't like this woman at all.Because it is a red building, I don't like it even more.Lin Lin likes straightforward girls.

People say that the tragedy of the Red Mansion came from the old lady Jia. In Lin Lin’s view, the tragedy of the Lin family in the Red Mansion all came from this woman in front of her. Too bad, too much attention to their own interests is too selfish for the Lin family, maybe the truth is not like that, Honglou's description of Jia Min is not very much, maybe there is something wrong with his son.But Lin Lin thought that way, and felt that it was all Jia Min's fault.The person has already married into the family, and now it is time to consider what kind of attitude should be used to treat her.It is really troublesome to look up and not see down in a family.

Lin Lin frowned, her head began to ache again, "You all go out, Haier stays here"

"Mother, my daughter-in-law will stay with you..." Jia Min felt that something was wrong, and carefully looked at the husband.

Lin Lin interrupted, "You just came back, and you still have to be busy with the housekeeper's business. It's almost dinner time, go prepare it first, and then you can use it in the yard, I don't want to leave Haier." Lin Lin felt that Talk to your son first.

After Jia Min went out, Lin Lin looked at her son, called out all the servants present, and ordered Lin Momo to stand guard at the door.Seeing this posture, Lin Hai said, "Mom, I can wait for you to get well if I have anything to say, there is no rush now."

"Hai'er, it's useless to be anxious now. It's all mother's fault. Mother didn't think carefully." Lin Lin looked remorseful.

"What happened to Mother?" Lin Ruhai's heart sank when she saw Mother like this. Something has disturbed Mother. There is nothing wrong recently. Could it be that someone is chewing their tongues in front of Mother? It seems that the butler should pay more attention. Mother's health is not very good. I usually take care of things by myself. I only use minor things for my mother's entertainment. The old people in the house know that they are not allowed to disturb my mother. What happened?

"Hey, it's hard to say," Lin Lin sighed, and looked at her son, "Hai'er, tell mother the truth, what do you think of your daughter-in-law since you're newly married?" Lin Lin wanted to know her son's attitude towards Jia Min.

"Mother, why are you bringing this up? My wife is very nice." Lin Ruhai felt strange, and under Lin Lin's gaze, Lin Hai's face turned red uncomfortably.

There is still something that Lin Lin doesn't understand. The son is interested in his daughter-in-law, "Son, this happened because of my mother's underestimation, but the matter has come to an end, so I have to explain it to you. As for what you have and plan , you can think about it carefully. The matter is more serious, and it is related to the life and death of our branch." Lin Lin thinks about it and talks about it.Lin Lin doesn't like Jia Min, but she doesn't want her son to be difficult, so let's put this matter on hold.

"Mom, what's so serious." Lin Hai's expression changed and he became nervous when he heard it. What major event happened recently, and the news he received was not such a major event.

Lin Lin looked at her son and didn't want to say it. Maybe she was confused. Besides, she didn't necessarily have to be so entangled. After thinking about it, she said, "It's related to your wife. In fact, my mother has already taken a fancy to a family at home. , After the news that you have won the list, I will be hired by the other party. Who knows that a marriage will come down. During this period of time, my mother has been puzzled and thought a lot. There are always some clues that can be detected. I hope all of this is for Mother thought too much, and mother felt uneasy, so I had to mention it to you, mother knows that you are dealing with many things outside, but you are younger after all, mother just wants to talk to you about the uneasiness in her heart."

Lin Lin made up her mind, "From the day you were on the list, maybe you have already entered the eyes of some people, and this marriage is one of the calculations. If Mother had made up her mind for you earlier, it would be fine. It's because of my mother that I hurt you."

Lin Hai was confused, what is it, the Jia family's calculation?what happened? "Mom, what's going on?"

"Our Lin family is a family from generation to generation. When the country was founded, there were many wars. In order to avoid danger, the ancestors set the family rule of not living in the fifth generation just to be on the safe side. This generation happens to be the last generation. That is, in a few years, your The nephews can take the exam. Our branch was launched by the clan at that time, and it was divided at that time. We have always acted cautiously. Unfortunately, over the years, our branch has been passed down from generation to generation. Your father should have explained everything to you." Lin Lin started talking about the Lin family.

"Now the upstart Jia Shi Wang Xue has become powerful in the court. The four families are all from Jinling. Some of them are related to the Zhen family in Jinling. These are all families that rose after the founding of the country. If you can do things carefully, it will be fine. Compared with the old aristocratic family. The old aristocratic family has a rich background, just like our family will grow up slowly. The three families of Jia Shiwang are in the capital, and the south of the Yangtze River is the Xue family and the Zhen family. You just entered their eyes in high school." Lin Lin looked at her son and paused.

"Although the Lin family was not born, its roots are in the south of the Yangtze River. The Lin family is still very influential among the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. They just want to marry the Lin family. With the influence of the Lin family, if they can control the Lin family at that time, then the Lin family will marry the Zhen family. , The four upstarts are connected together, and Jiangnan is bound to become their enclosure. You are the only youngster in our Lin family, so naturally you are their ideal candidate."

What Lin Lin said made Lin Ruhai fall into deep thought. It is true that the Lin family had little friendship with these families before.

"Jiangnan is a rich land. Taxes and food in Jiangnan have always been the object of competition among various forces, especially the struggle for succession. Is there no movement in the court now? Our Lin family has been loyal to the emperor for generations, and our family has always Developing in Jiangnan, because of your in-laws, and with the promotion of all parties, Jinshang will let you work in Jiangnan to supervise and balance Jiangnan's power, and because of your in-laws, you will inevitably be suspected by Jinshang, and our family will be in trouble In the center of the vortex of struggle between various forces, our family will bear the brunt of any movement, which is very dangerous."

Is that so?What kind of role did the Jia family play in it?Now it doesn't look like it's related.The relationship between the Jia family and those few families seems to be very close. The Zhen family has a concubine and a prince, to win the heir?Lin Ruhai was thinking.

"Our ancestors withdrew from the capital and stayed in Gusu to avoid participating in the struggle for the crown prince for safety reasons, but now because of your wife and Yue's family, our family has been passively involved. That's why I said that this marriage was our family's crime. I figured it out. Hey, it would be fine if my mother didn't have that idea and just made up my mind, it's all my mother's fault." The more Lin Lin said, the more sorry she felt for her son.

"These days my mother is sick, and I am also worried about this matter. Regarding your daughter-in-law, my mother really doesn't know how to treat her. My mother likes straightforward girls. If you like it, that's all. But my mother still hopes that you will be careful. Think about how to treat your daughter-in-law." Lin Lin thought of Jia Min looking at her son and didn't know what to say, "The Lin family's teachings for so many years and your father's expectations for you, the burden of the Lin family is not light, son. You go back and think about it. .”

After hearing Lin Lin's words, Lin Ruhai felt as if something was stuck in his head, he should go to the study to have a look.
