Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Although Aunt Xue and her two children could not be said to be traveling day and night, she set off immediately after receiving the news that the palace hired concubines, princesses, and princesses to accompany her to read. Therefore, Mrs. Wang's letter only left the capital for two or three days. When I arrived in the capital, I missed it.

On the day they entered Beijing, before disembarking from the boat, Xue Pan was the happiest when he heard that Wang Ziteng had been ordered to go out of Beijing to patrol the border. He fulfilled his wish, so he excitedly went to discuss with Aunt Xue that he would first send someone to clean his old house in the capital.

Aunt Xue didn't intend to live in her own old house, so she scolded him and said what she wanted. First, she can live in Wang's house and Jia's house. Both houses are very cheap, and then she can clean herself up. The house of the family.

Aunt Xue's original intention is unknown. She thought that Baochai would enter the palace to be elected this year. The Wang family and the Jia family have good backgrounds. It's not good, it's better to come to the capital to have a look, so that someone can control Xue Pan.Wang Ziteng is not here, but Jia Zheng is still there, they are all capable people.

Baochai was only 12 years old, she was born as beautiful as a flower, and she also had a boldness that men can't match, so she agreed very much.

Hearing this, Xue Pan frowned, and objected dissatisfiedly. Prince Tengli's house is bound to be too busy to go, so why not go to Rongguo Mansion?After going to one uncle, how many uncles are needed to take care of it?Although he didn't care much, Aunt Xue often corresponded with Mrs. Wang, and she also knew that Jia Zheng was a very upright and upright person, and he might be stricter than Wang Ziteng.

Aunt Xue insisted on going to Jia's house, and Baochai also had the same intention. Xue Pan was filial to his mother and loved his sister, so he had to go to Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wang has been very unhappy recently. I heard that Mrs. Dou secretly asked Yingchun about her family, and she didn't care at all about her proposal of a marriage that would be good for the family. When he entered Beijing, he had already got off the car outside the door. Mrs. Wang was so happy that she hurriedly took Li Wan, Tanchun and others out of the main hall, and brought in Aunt Xue and others.

When the two sisters meet in their twilight years, it is naturally full of sorrow and joy.

Mrs. Wang took Aunt Xue's hand, wiped her tears and said, "You don't know how worried I was when I heard about you a few days ago. What's going on? Baijiao people embezzled a lot of business?"

Embarrassment flashed across Aunt Xue's face, she didn't know how to speak.Although the Jin family's business in Jinling is getting bigger and bigger, but their own family is very powerful, the two are still divided. At the beginning of the year, Jinling came to a big goods merchant. They wanted to buy some southern goods, and they wanted a lot of goods. That merchant was very shrewd. Very soon, they shopped around, but the clerks in their shop were shoddy. They lost a lot of face and ruined their reputation. The Jin family took the opportunity to annex several of their businesses.Xue Pan felt so bored, so he went to Beijing to play while sending Baochai to wait for the election.

Aunt Xue secretly resented that the Jin family was ruthless and only competed with her own family. She clings to the Lin family and shows off her power. The Jinling family dominates, so she is not afraid of losing her fortune!

Mrs. Wang saw that Aunt Xue was uncomfortable, so she stopped asking, and beckoned Baochai to come to her. She looked at her carefully, with a look of satisfaction on her face, and praised: "Is this Bao girl? We are thousands of miles away, and we are so far away. I haven't been able to meet him once, but I am truly unparalleled in the world, and I feel happy when I see her."

As soon as she saw Baochai, Mrs. Wang secretly thought about it.

The more powerful the Lin family became, the more Mrs. Wang felt that Daiyu could not come in. It made sense for her to make friends with Jia Min and let the Lin family take care of her, but she didn't want to have more daughters-in-law who were taller than her family. Come on, her natal parents and brothers still don't work hard with her?After all, it's Bao girl, although her family status is lower than her own family's, but she has her own way of life, and she is her own niece, and she will be with her when she enters the door in the future, and she will never favor Jia's mother.

Mrs. Wang thought of Baochai's golden lock again, and she beamed, feeling more and more compatible. Baoyu's natural psychic psychic, Baoyu, isn't it a match made in heaven?God-blessed marriage, gods and Buddhas feel good.

Aunt Xue saw how well she felt, and couldn't help hesitating. Their family wanted to send Baochai into the palace for election. The future is tighter.After thinking about it, the future is uncertain, let's be vague first. It would be good if he entered the palace, but if he couldn't, Baoyu would be a good match.

Aunt Xue said humbly: "How can there be a sister who speaks so well? I see that the girls around my sister are smarter." Aunt Xue was talking about Tanchun, with slender shoulders and thin waist, handsome eyes and eyebrows, and she was also a rare person.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face was as usual, and she said with a smile: "I think it's better for Bao girl. Tomorrow, I will live here so that I can teach some sisters." Yingchun is even more pleasing, and she is very dignified in front of Jiamu. Ming'er said that a good relative also helps Baoyu, and she is happy to be a loving mother.

Baochai and Tanchun looked at each other, and they felt that they were good to each other, so they couldn't help smiling, and went forward to see each other.

Aunt Xue asked, "Why are the other two girls missing?" She often heard Mrs. Wang say that there were three other girls in the Jia family, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun, but now only Tanchun was there, and the other two were not there.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "They are all in the old lady's room to entertain the old lady."

The big house is becoming more and more presumptuous now. In the past, Jia Mu said that the house was small and Baoyu could not continue to live in the green gauze cabinet, so she moved Sanchun out. Mrs. Dou took the opportunity to take Yingchun back to the East Courtyard, and often took her out for a walk. Du Xichun was left unattended, and still lived with Tanchun in the three small bungalows behind her main house, and lived with Li Wan.Mrs. Dou is not at home today in order to say goodbye to Yingchun. She cherishes Chun's temper, so she only goes out to meet guests with Tanchun.

Mrs. Wang was afraid that Aunt Xue would continue to question her and she would not be able to answer, so she led Aunt Xue's mother and daughter to visit Jia's mother, and ordered Xue Pan to visit Jia Zheng. Jia Lian was not close to her family, so she had to order someone to invite her over.

Mother Jia was feeling depressed. Lin Ruhai and Lin Rui had been in Beijing for more than ten days, but they only came here when they arrived in the capital. She couldn't help asking Chen Jiaojiao suspiciously: "Didn't you just send the letter out a few days ago, why did it arrive here?"

Chen Jiaojiao lowered her head and smiled, "I don't know."

Sitting next to her, Xichun remained silent, like a clay sculpture, and did not lift her eyelids when she heard Jiamu's words.As for Baoyu, Zheng and Xiangyun were sitting beside Jia's mother, turning the red line to play hard. When they heard the arrival of the guests, they couldn't help but shine in their eyes.

Mother Jia thought for a while, and ordered people to come in. Aunt Xue and Jia Min were about the same age. Although they were both middle-aged, their complexion was fair and their faces were upright. It was vaguely similar to Mrs. Wang. There was an air of kindness and kindness from top to bottom, but she was a widow, her clothes were very plain, and the phoenix hairpin on her temples had no tassels.

On the contrary, the girl who followed her was a rare and stunning girl in the world, but at the age of twelve or thirteen years old, her face was like a silver basin, her eyes were like apricots, her eyebrows were unpainted but green, her lips were unpainted and red, and her skin was as good as snow. She has a plump figure, yet another kind of charm and beauty. Wearing a rose-purple jacket and a light yellow long skirt, she looks even more calm and generous.

Seeing Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue coming in, Baoyu and the others all stood up, and when they saw this, they were stunned.

Others were paying respects and presenting earthen ritual gifts, etc., and the sisters saw each other again, but Baoyu was crazy and thought: "I said that these sisters in my family are unique in the world, but I didn't expect the sister who came today She is stunning, I have never seen a more beautiful person than this sister."

Thinking of this, Baoyu couldn't help but think of the sister Lin that Jia Mu said. I don't know how beautiful that sister is compared with the sister in front of me.As he thought about it, he stepped forward to greet Aunt Xue, mother and daughter.

Aunt Xue and Baochai often heard of Baoyu's reputation, and when they saw Baoyu today, they really lived up to their reputation, and they were very humble when they were busy.

Shi Xiangyun looked at Baochai silently for a moment, only feeling close in his heart, stepped forward to salute, and said, "This must be the elder sister Bao that my wife often talks about? My name is Xiangyun, and I grew up with my second elder brother."

Jia's mother smiled and said: "This is my natal niece and grandniece. It's a good thing for sisters to kiss each other."

Baochai said yes with a smile, and said, "I feel happy seeing Sister Yun. She is indeed educated by the old lady, and she is the most demeanor of everyone." She had no intention of Baoyu, and saw Xiangyun wearing a narrow begonia The red shirt looks more like a bee waist and a monkey back, and a crane looks like a mantis. At first glance, it is the most innocent and straightforward character. Thinking of her family's dual lords, the smile on her face is even bigger.

Xiangyun held Baochai's hand and said, "My dear sister, I am also happy."

After Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly came over and asked about his health, which was extremely thoughtful.

Mother Jia saw it, so she couldn't help asking Aunt Xue about her plans for coming to Beijing. Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I heard that the palace wants to hire concubines, princesses, and princesses to study with us. Our treasure girl is 12 years old in the first month." Her birthday is 13 years old this year, so I thought about sending her to the palace to be selected, if she can be selected, it is also her luck."

Hearing what Aunt Xue said without hesitation, Xue Baochai immediately blushed.

When Shi Xiangyun and the others heard this, they immediately felt relieved and congratulated, but Baoyu's face changed color, and he said angrily: "Where is a good place to go in the palace? Who said that entering the palace is good fortune? That year when the eldest sister entered The queen of the palace never came back again, Sister Bao is fine, why is my aunt willing to send Sister Bao there? After going to such a point, it will be difficult to meet again in the future. "

Thinking of the many years of separation from Yuanchun, Baoyu burst into tears, choked up and unable to speak.

Mother Jia was distressed, and hurriedly beckoned to her, hugged her in her arms and comforted her: "Just one word, the future is unknown, why are you crying? How do you tell your aunt and sister to think of you? Stop crying, be careful, your master knows, beat your meat."

Baoyu suddenly remembered that it was not Yuanchun's intention to enter the palace, so he wiped his tears with a handkerchief.He didn't know where his own veil was, so he had to lift up his sleeve.Xiangyun saw that he was wearing a brand new silver-red gauze shirt, but he wanted to use it to wipe his tears. He didn't feel it was a pity, so he hurriedly handed him his handkerchief, and Baoyu took it and smiled at her.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly turned away, and asked the whole family to come and meet, and cleaned up the banquet to clean up the dust.

When the wine was hot, Xue Pan had already paid a visit to Jia Zheng, and then went to visit Jia She, Jia Zhen, etc. Jia She was reading a book to Jia Fu, but he didn't care. He just asked Jia Lian to come forward, and Jia Zheng sent someone to invite Xue Aunt and others stayed, and he almost blurted out the Pear Fragrance Courtyard. Fortunately, he remembered that Jia Lian and his wife lived in the Pear Fragrance Courtyard, so he asked Mrs. Wang to clean another quiet house with them.

Mrs. Wang liked Baochai already, so she agreed not to mention it.

When Jia Mu heard about it, she sent someone to ask Aunt Xue to stay and be closer to each other.

Aunt Xue originally planned to live together so that people could restrain Xue Pan, so she hurriedly came to thank her, and said that she would pay all the household expenses by herself, instead of using the family.Mrs. Wang thought that it would not be difficult for the Xue family to be rich, so she agreed wholeheartedly.

To be honest, Lixiangyuan is the closest to Mrs. Wang's main house, only separated by a narrow road. When you go out, you will find Mrs. Wang's back door. Although there are houses in the northeast, it is far away from the garden. Mrs. Wang discussed with Chen Jiaojiao and felt that Chen Jiaojiao It's better to live in the house along the road, but Chen Jiaojiao immediately refused, saying: "We have lived in Lixiangyuan for many years, and it is so close to our master and wife, how can we just move? Besides, my nephew and daughter-in-law haven't changed their clothes for two months. , let alone moving. If the second wife thinks that the house on the northeast is far away, it is not as good as other houses in the mansion, there are several places anyway."

Suddenly hearing that Chen Jiaojiao was pregnant again, Mrs. Wang was taken aback. With great difficulty, she suppressed her thoughts and glanced at her abdomen, saying: "Nephew and daughter-in-law are married? Why haven't you heard of it?"

Chen Jiaojiao smiled lightly, and said: "It's not the first time, who would flaunt it so frivolously?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to give up and cleaned the house on the northeast for Aunt Xue to live in. Although it was far away from her main house, there was a back door leading to the back street in that house, which was convenient for their family to enter and exit.

So Aunt Xue and Baochai lived in Rongguo Mansion.

When Chen Jiaojiao heard the news, Jia She, Mrs. Dou, Yingchun, Jia Cong and others were all overjoyed.

Jia Lian participated in Chunwei this year, and he didn't want to fail again. He has taken the exam several times in a row. Although his grandfather said that his essays were not good enough, he always felt uncomfortable when he failed the exam. My grandfather's family and my uncle's family are very powerful, so I coaxed myself.

When Chen Jiaojiao heard about it, she was furious and funny, and quickly comforted him: "You forgot what the world said? Thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi, the master is only in his twenties, what's the hurry? My father didn’t pass the exam until he was 40 or [-].”

Jia Lian heard what she said and heard that she was pregnant, so he put aside his worries and began to study hard.

Now that Lin Ruhai is still in the capital, Jia Lian simply went to ask for advice. The relationship between him and the Lin family is already very good. Lin Ruhai is happy to give advice when he sees his progress. Jia Lian is Lin Rui's cousin, and the two brothers will support each other in the officialdom , It's better than being alone, I hope Jia Lian will not be implicated by his family.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian and Lin Rui discussing articles over there, and Lin Rui asked him about the topic of the Spring Festival. He couldn't help thinking of the news that Yu Heng had vaguely revealed, saying that the new emperor planned to send Yuan Chun out after the newcomers were selected into the palace in August. .

Lin Ruhai was greatly surprised, he did not expect that the new emperor and the Ninth Prince had different temperaments.

As for Yuan Chun, it must be a good thing for her if she can't become an imperial concubine. If she stays in the palace, she will die sooner or later. .

Without the imperial concubine, presumably the Jia family would no longer be as unscrupulous as in their previous life?The so-called blooming of flowers and brocade fire and cooking oil are all lies.Without the support of his own family wealth, Jia Amnesty repaid hundreds of thousands of shortfalls many years ago. Although he cannot be a relative of the emperor, as long as the Jia family does not rebel, their fate must be better than in the previous life.

After sending Jia Lian away, Lin Rui said, "What does father think?"

Lin Ruhai came back to his senses when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "You are old now, don't ask me what I think, you should first look at your own mind. Those things about Jia's family have nothing to do with our family, you don't have to worry too much about it." .”

Lin Rui nodded in agreement, and said, "Master Zeng's family has passed the examination as a scholar. Father, do we have to send a congratulatory gift?"

Zeng Xian returned to Shandong in the old year, the governor of Shandong was the Shen family, and the Supreme Emperor asked Zeng Xian to take the exam, so Xu Fei didn't dare to do anything even if he was unwilling. Three years later, I will participate in Qiuwei, and then I will participate in Chunwei. I don't want the new emperor to open Enke next year, so I plan to participate next year.

Now, counting with the fingers, Zeng Xian, Lin Rui, and Yu Heng are all among those who intend to participate in Enke. According to Jia Lian's wishes, they also want to participate in Enke. Ke participated in the Spring Quarters.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "They're still in Shandong and haven't come to Beijing yet, why should Tete send someone there?"

Lin Rui couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

After a while, Lin Rui asked: "Are we going back after the Longevity Festival? We originally said that we could stay in the capital for a year, but now it's not possible. Fortunately, I also don't want my mother and younger siblings to study hard at home for a year. Brother Yu also means the same thing, go back with us."

Lin Ruhai nodded, but did not speak.

As Empress Yu's brother, it stands to reason that the new emperor can be extra gracious, but Yu Heng is very ambitious and intends to rely on his own ability to become an official. I hope he can go to high school in one fell swoop and enter the official career.

Thinking of Yu Heng, Lin Ruhai thought of Yu Heng's two uncles. Fortunately, they were quite capable and did not cause trouble. If they saw that the new emperor had made him the crown prince, they would have defected to the prince's family early, then it would be interesting.The power of my own family has reached such a point, and Yu Heng is also the uncle of the country, so he has been involved in it for a long time. It seems that I have to teach them a little bit, and don't covet the merits of the dragon.

Not only Lin Ruhai thought so, but also the old lady Yu, who called Yu Heng's two uncles, Yu Qiu and Yu Ke, and reprimanded her.

Although Yu Qiu and Yu Ke were at odds with Yu Heng, they worked hard for the new emperor in the early years. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was grateful for their help and treated them kindly, and each of them was promoted.They saw that there was a queen in their family, and the prince born to the queen had already been named the prince, so they couldn't help thinking about it. Once the prince came to the throne in the future, their family would last for another hundred years.

No one understands the thoughts of her two sons better than Mrs. Yu, and she is about to cut off their thoughts immediately.

After hearing old lady Yu's words, Yu Qiu and Yu Ke refused to accept it, and said: "The sons are also thinking about the empress, so is it the end to be the empress? Being the empress is a blessing, so you can rest assured. The prince's name is right and proper, and we support the prince's succession." The throne is also something that benefits future generations."

Yu Heng smiled angrily, his eyes were abnormally cold.

After being taught by Lin Ruhai for so many years, he has long understood how fierce the battle for the heir apparent is, and he also discussed with the empress, imitating the new emperor, staying away from the courtiers, and letting his two uncles make trouble on their own.

Old Madam Yu spat on the head, and said: "Don't say such high-sounding words in front of me! The Holy Majesty has only been enthroned for a few months, and the canonization ceremony for the empress empress and His Royal Highness has not yet been held. Accept this idea for me, lest I get into trouble and I don’t know it! Fortunately, you two have been officials for decades, and your grandson is already in school. It’s not as thoughtful as a child like Heng’er. You all Although he is not an extremely human minister, he still needs to be reused by the sage, so what do you want to do if you are so greedy? It is a pity that His Royal Highness is almost 20 years old, so you don't need to worry about it!"

Yu Qiu and Yu Ke suddenly blushed. They were both in their 60s and [-]s. It was hard to avoid feeling ashamed to be reprimanded by Mrs. Yu in front of Yu Heng.

Old Madam Yu sighed, and said wearily: "I have gone through all these things, why can't I see through it? The Holy One is today because of his filial piety and lack of desire and desire. Why don't you understand?"

After hearing this, Yu Qiu and Yu Ke bowed their heads and remained silent.

Yu Heng stepped forward to support Mrs. Yu, handed her the tea bowl with his own hands, and said: "Grandmother, don't worry, the empress and His Royal Highness know well, and they are not at the mercy of others. His Royal Highness does not have such thoughts, second and third uncles, etc. The plan can only be put to waste.”

The old lady Yu sighed: "Although the three of you have separated a long time ago, you are all descendants of the Yu family. After so many years, I don't expect you two as uncles to help Heng'er, but I don't want you to hurt the empress and the empress. Heng'er's future! I'll leave the ugly words here, and anyone of you who dares to think of His Highness the Crown Prince will step over my old bones first!"

This sentence shocked Yu Qiu and Yu Ke to their knees and said repeatedly: "My son dare not."

Mrs. Yu sneered and said, "Why don't you dare? How dare I be your master!"

Disobedience and unfilial piety is a great crime. With this reputation, officials should not even think about doing it. Yu Qiu and Yu Ke hate Yu Heng's fate, but they are very filial to Mrs. Yu. Not as calm as Yu He, but over the years, how many times have they not listened to Mrs. Yu?Every year, gifts are sent one by one.After listening to Mrs. Yu's words, Yu Qiu said: "Mother, don't worry, the son will listen to his mother."

Seeing that the second brother had said so, Yu Ke could only calm down and agree.

Looking at the gray beards and hairs of her two sons, Old Madam Yu softened her tone, and said, "Just be obedient, I am your mother, and I will never harm you! Your children and grandchildren are full, and you will teach your children and grandchildren to be better in the future." It's important, don't bring up these thoughts again. Also, I heard, which one of you is going to promise Heng Er a niece or niece? Take these thoughts away as soon as possible!"

Recently, Mrs. Yu was willing to marry with their family. After careful investigation, Mrs. Yu suddenly fell down in anger.

Yu Heng is very popular in the capital because of the empress, but his fate is still remembered by many people. On the one hand, they are taboo about the idea of ​​the lone star of the evil spirit, but on the other hand, they follow the trend. There are also, Mrs. Yu didn't like any of them. Yu Heng has both character and ability, and he doesn't let others pick and choose.

Madam Yu Qiu wanted to betroth her niece to Yu Heng, and Madam Yu Ke wanted to betroth her inner niece to Yu Heng. Although these two girls were both descendants, they had no place in the family. Well, old lady Yu was so annoyed that she immediately kicked out the two sisters-in-law who were reconciling.

Yu Qiu and Yu Ke brothers were extremely embarrassed, they quickly agreed, and then left.

Yu Heng sent them away, came back to look at old lady Yu's snow-white hair, and comforted him: "I told you earlier, don't worry, grandma, a long-distance marriage is linked by a thread, and maybe grandson's luck is behind."

Old Madam Yu said: "Although you said that you don't want to get engaged in the past two years, you still have to take care of you. How can you not be in a hurry?"

Yu Heng hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing.

Mrs. Yu has raised Yu Heng for more than ten years, she saw it at a glance, and asked: "Could it be that you have made up your mind? If so, you can tell me that while I'm okay, I'll take care of you for you, that's fine." rest assured."

Yu Heng's face flushed slightly. His complexion was not as fair as Lin Rui's, almost bronze in color, but Mrs. Yu could still see it when he was close, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.Yu Heng's heart is like that of an adult, and Mrs. Yu didn't bother much since she was a teenager. Many things were decided by Yu Heng himself, and he didn't expect that he would have a candidate now.

Yu Heng said in a low voice: "How is Grandmother looking at the Lin family?"

Mrs. Yu couldn't react for a while, so she asked casually, "Which Lin family? There are many officials surnamed Lin in the court."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Yu suddenly realized that the only ones close to their family were Lin Ruhai's family, and she hurriedly asked: "Could it be that you are talking about that little girl Yu'er? How old is she, but you are already 16 years old. There's a seven-year difference! Even if we can wait, I'm afraid people will think you're too old to part with your daughter!"

Although the Yu family is powerful, Mrs. Yu dare not think highly of herself. In terms of power and power, who can compare to Lin Ruhai?Moreover, Yu Heng has no parents, no brothers, no two uncles, so how can Lin Ruhai like him?When talking about relatives in this world, in addition to paying attention to being well-off, the first thing to do is to see if your parents are there. It is a good fortune to have both parents.

Yu Heng's face turned redder, and he didn't know how to speak.

Old Madam Yu lowered her head and thought for a while. If it was Daiyu, she was the favorite. She was inferior to any woman she had seen in the world, and she was brought up by Lin Ruhai as her son. It's just that he is too young, and Lin Ruhai's family is in so much pain, how can he look up to Yu Heng, who was betrayed by his parents when he was a baby?However, the two children grew up together, so they are closer than outsiders, and Yu Heng was taught by Lin Ruhai himself, so it is unknown that it is easier for them to satisfy them than others.

Old Madam Yu's brows widened immediately, and she said with a smile: "Heng'er, you have to think clearly. That year I was a matchmaker for brother Rui of their family. Mrs. Lin said that their family's beloved daughter-in-law will not take concubines from now on. My daughter said that she should also pay attention to these things, and choose a family that will never take concubines all her life, so that she can live a quieter life."

Yu Hengli said bluntly: "Don't we have this rule in our family? Even if we don't, we can have it in the future."

As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and he said softly: "The knowledge of other people's family is no match for Sister Lin's. If I miss it, my grandson will regret it for the rest of his life."

Old Madam Yu was heartbroken to hear that, if Yu Heng's parents and elder brother were all there, why would there be any need to hesitate here for a long time?As the queen's brother, Yu Heng is a good match for Daiyu. She thought about it and said, "Both of us know the basics, which is several times better than those who don't. It's just that Yu'er is too young, and we have to wait a year or two." .We are thoughtful, others may not be willing."

Yu Heng said: "The grandson also wants to wait until the exam is over."

Old lady Yu said in surprise: "After the exam? It will take two years! I don't know if I can survive until then." Recently, she is not as energetic as before, so she is anxious to choose a good family for Yu Heng.

Yu Heng immediately said: "Grandma will naturally live a long life."

Old Madam Yu sighed slightly, and said, "Don't worry, just let me think of an idea, talk to the Lin family first."

When Yu Heng heard this, a smile flashed across his face.

A few days later, Mrs. Yu talked to Empress Yu, and Empress Yu agreed: "I think they are a good family. Heng'er has no parents or brothers. The Lin family's children often hear their grandmother say that they are very good. They support each other and are better than others. Be stronger, and Miss Lin is known by her grandmother, she is not a short-sighted person, with such a daughter-in-law, are you afraid that you will not be able to teach your children?"

Old Madam Yu sighed: "It's just that the age difference is too big. Although our family has a concubine, to be honest, the Lin family is not bad, and Yu'er is so complete. They can choose from all the good people in the world. "

Empress Yu comforted: "Grandmother, don't belittle yourself too much. I think the Lin family loves their daughter. To prevent her from being wronged, they must choose someone who knows the basics. Maybe they also like our Heng'er. Our Heng'er is Master Lin." I taught it myself, and it is several times better than outsiders. It's just that Mrs. Lin is not in the capital, how can grandma communicate with her?"

Old Madam Yu said: "The Enke will be opened next year, and Heng'er will go back to the south with Mr. Lin and Ge'er Lin. Tell him to send a message."

Queen Yu listened, nodded and remained silent.

Empress Yu instructed: "Whether Mrs. Lin is willing or not, we can't force it too much."

Old Madam Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam, our family has been taken care of by the Lin family for so many years, is it an ungrateful person? I was thinking that Heng'er is getting old, if it can be done, it's good, I don't worry, if they don't want to, I'd like to choose another family for Heng'er early, lest it will be bad later."

The grandparents and grandchildren discussed it properly, and when Lin Ruhai set off to return to the south in June, Mrs. Yu packed Yu Heng's bags and brought various gifts, and wrote a letter early, asking him to send it to Jia Min.

Originally, Lin Ruhai held an important position and was going back after the Longevity Festival. He didn't want the new emperor to ascend the throne, and there were many important matters that required Lin Ruhai's advice. When it came to people's livelihood, Lin Ruhai couldn't be more clear. Therefore, the new emperor kept him in the capital for an extra month, and did not let him go back until late June.

In the past few days in the capital, Lin Ruhai only went to Jia's house twice when he entered Beijing and before leaving Beijing. At other times, he declined on the grounds that he was already busy, but he did not go there. Although Jiamu and the others were unhappy, they had no choice.

Not long after Lin Ruhai left, the Xue family was busy sending Baochai to be elected, and Jia's mother immediately ordered someone to take care of them.

As for Mrs. Wang's thoughts, Mother Jia knew that Daiyu and Baoyu's marriage had long been in her mind, and how she could spoil the Xue family's plan. After many selections and being selected into the palace, no one will come to Baoyu's idea.

Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, what can the Xue family do for Baoyu?In terms of power and wealth, ten Xue families can't compare with one Lin family. With the support of the Lin family, Baoyu can be rich and wealthy for a lifetime, and the Xue family is only rich.Xue Baochai has Wang Ziteng as his uncle, so isn't Wang Ziteng Baoyu's uncle?It's better to marry the Lin family, that's the best.

Since Aunt Xue's mother and daughter came to Jia's house, Aunt Xue accompanied Jia's mother to talk and laugh to relieve boredom. Baochai and her sisters were very happy to study together.Yingchun and Baochai were in the same year, only two months younger than Baochai. Because they were discussing relatives, they didn't often come to Jia's mother, so they only had good friends with Baochai, Xiangyun Tanchun.

In a blink of an eye, it was August, and Baochai dressed up early to enter the palace.

That day, everyone in Jia's family waited anxiously, only Chen Jiaojiao was raising the fetus in Lixiangyuan. Yingchun dragged Tanchun and Xichun over to do needlework for Jia Fu and Chen Jiaojiao's fetus.Tanchun wanted to call Baoyu and Xiangyun, but Yingchun said that his uncle and sister-in-law were different and could not invite Baoyu. If Baoyu didn't go, Xiangyun naturally didn't go either, and stayed in Jiamu's room to talk.

Seeing that Chen Jiaojiao's belly was as big as a bamboo basket, her cheeks were covered with scars, her figure was plump and ten times uglier than usual, Tanchun couldn't help asking, "Why is it the same as Huaifu's brother? Could it be that he is another brother?"

Chen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, "I accept your good words."

Yingchun said: "My wife said that my sister-in-law has a sharp belly, so I must add a brother to Brother Fu."

Many sons, many grandchildren, many blessings, Chen Jiaojiao was naturally overjoyed after hearing what Yingchun and the other sisters said. When she heard that Baochai had entered the palace, she laughed in her heart. The Xue family is not among them, even if she is selected, which princess and princess would choose her as a companion?Although Baochai has only lived in Jia's house for a few months, Chen Jiaojiao has already seen that she is a human being. It is not so much that she wants to be the companion of the princess and princess, but rather to emulate Yuanchun.

When Yuan Chun was mentioned, Chen Jiaojiao sneered again.Yuanchun has been in the Queen's Palace for some time, and every time the messenger comes back, he is very anxious. I don't know the pain, but I also want to enter the palace.

How Yingchun and the others don't know, but Baochai has the ambition to be a success, and no one can stop him.Baochai is well-rounded in talent and appearance, slightly stronger than Yuanchun, and at the same age, although her background is slightly inferior to hers, she may not be able to rely on her talent and learning to be selected.

They stayed in Lixiangyuan for half a day, had lunch, and went back in the evening. Unexpectedly, they got the news that Baochai had been defeated and had been sent home.When they heard this, they wondered secretly, they didn't expect that Baochai's appearance and talent were still not selected, but luckily they didn't go, and I am afraid that they would not be selected even more.

Baochai was full of ambition and wanted to enter the palace, but she didn't expect to lose the election on the first day, feeling ashamed and angry.Fortunately, she is calm by nature. If others pretended to be sick and stayed at home early, she would go to greet Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang calmly the next day after a night's rest.

Jia Mu felt a little regretful in her heart. Baochai lost the election. Didn't it be Baoyu's idea?

The servants all knew that Baochai had lost the election, so there was inevitably some gossip, which gradually stopped after two or three days.

Mrs. Wang felt sorry for Baochai, and she was a little bit happy. A good fortune was expected, and she didn't want Baochai to enter the palace to compete with Yuanchun. Today, she was busy talking to Aunt Xue, comforting Aunt Xue, talking at length about household chores, When talking about the golden and jade marriage, Zhou Rui's family was talking back and forth, and Aunt Xue suddenly remembered a box of palace flowers.

Baochai lost the election, and it was difficult for the palace flower to win, so Aunt Xue ordered Zhou Rui's family to take it back and distribute it to Chen Jiaojiao and Sanchun and others.

Mrs. Wang said a few words of humility, but Aunt Xue acted nonchalantly.

The two sisters were talking lively when they suddenly saw Zhou Rui's family come in in a panic and said, "Madam, the eldest girl is back."

Mrs. Wang stood up in surprise, and asked, "What did you say? The eldest girl is in the palace well, how can she come home?" Yuan Chun managed to get to the empress's side, how could he fall short?

The faces of Zhou Rui's family were pale, and they said: "It is true that the eldest girl is back. The palace sent someone to send the eldest girl back, and there are many things rewarded by the empress. It is said that the palace has selected many maids for orders this year. Holy Grace, In addition to what everyone has to use, the rest of the maids who are under the age of the palace are also graciously released home, so that their parents can marry others, and they don’t have to wait until they are 30 years old. We are the most respectable people in the palace, yes First on the list."

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were stunned when they heard these words.

Zhou Rui's family said again: "The eldest girl is in the old lady's room now, and the eunuch who brought the eldest girl back is also there, and she hasn't left yet. The old lady told me to come and ask the wife to go there immediately." Everyone felt that Yuan Chun had a great fortune. No problem, originally everyone in the mansion thought that Yuan Chun would be by the empress's side, that sooner or later he would be favored by the Holy Majesty, who would have thought that he would be kicked out of the palace in just a few months.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue came to their senses and hurried to Jia Mu's room. Baochai heard about it in the inner room and hurried to follow.
