Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Seeing such a bumper year, Wei Ruolan's heart sank.

Wei Ruolan's wife is actually not Wei Ruolan's biological mother, but a stepmother. Wei Ruolan's biological mother died shortly after Wei Ruolan was born.Now this aunt came in one year after his mother's death, she has a son and a daughter under her knees, all of them were born ice-snow smart, extremely clever, they were deeply loved by General Wei, the Wei Ruomei who often met Daiyu and others in the past was Wei Ruomei The daughter of Ruolan's stepmother.

Although they were born by half mothers, Wei Ruolan has both talents and looks, Wei Ruomei is gentle and demure, and the two siblings have had a good relationship since they were young.However, since she is not her own mother, her stepmother's behavior is mostly in the middle of nowhere, and Wei Ruolan's father is not only a subordinate of Shi Nai, but also a general with real power, and he has a hereditary title from his ancestors, which can be regarded as justifiable in the court The family of the king and grandson, even if there is no ancestral scenery, should not be underestimated.Wei Ruolan and younger brother Wei Ruoju are both legitimate sons, and the stepmother has her own thoughts.

Whether the title of the Wei family is high or low, although it is not as high as a high-ranking official, it is an extremely valuable and important way to get ahead for the descendants of the Wei family who have not yet entered official positions and do not know when they will become famous. After all, there are very few young talents like Lin Rui and Zeng Xian who have already been in official positions.

Thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi.

This statement is not false.

If you become an official, you have two ways of civil and military. If you join the army, you have to suffer the pain of being slashed by the wind on the battlefield. The imperial examination also has to go through ten years of bitterness. A handed down title?You can wear a purple python, wear a jade belt, call your slaves and maids, and be the head of your family without any effort.

This is also the pride of many who seize the title.

Therefore, Mrs. Wei wanted her son to inherit the title of General Wei.

Her plan is of course very good, but this matter involves a lot, Mrs. Wei does not want her reputation to be dusted, of course she will not express her thoughts, but Wei Ruolan is so smart and knows the world, how can she not know Mrs. Wei's calculating.

Regarding the marriage with the Shi family, Wei Ruolan understands General Wei's intentions, because Shi Nai is his superior, he will take care of him, and he will take care of his future in the future, but he doesn't trust Mrs. Wei.Mrs. Wei first mentioned this marriage, and then she praised in every possible way in front of General Wei, and said countless benefits.

In Chang'an City, there are quite a few families who hold important powers comparable to the historians, and there are many families who can take care of themselves. There are also many people who are closer to the Wei family than the historians, and even higher than the historians. Why does Mrs. Wei choose alone? Shi Xiangyun, the eldest daughter of the historian who lost her father and mother?Really no reason?

With such doubts in her heart, Wei Ruolan couldn't wait to get to know Shi Xiangyun after getting married, so she hurriedly sent someone to inquire.

Now that he ordered someone to inquire, he has no intention of regretting it, but just wants to learn more about Shi Xiangyun's character and make plans for the future.

He didn't care that Shi Xiangyun's parents died early and had the reputation of being a hard-working man, and he didn't care that she was not the daughter of Lord Hou, and he didn't care if she had a red makeup. The only thing he cared about was a person's moral character, a good wife and husband with few misfortunes, Only in this way can he rest assured to work hard for his future outside, so when he asked Feng Nian to inquire, he focused on this.

However, Wei Ruolan is young, doesn't have a lot of contacts, and has no one to take care of him. Although he has a few close friends, most of them are dudes, and it is indecent to inquire about Miss Qianjin, so he is not good at asking Jia Baoyu, Feng Ziying and others It's not easy to ask Lin Zhi carefully, so Feng Nian came back to report from the engagement to this day, presumably it's almost done.

Seeing Feng Nian's expression is not good, and the news is not satisfactory, how can Wei Ruolan not worry about it?

Listening to his question, Fengnian felt sorry for his master.

He is Wei Ruolan's nanny brother, three months older than Wei Ruolan, and his mother is the confidant maid of Wei Ruolan's biological mother, who later became the steward's daughter-in-law, while he has been Wei Ruolan's servant since childhood, So Fengnian cares more about Wei Ruolan than others.

Didn't his own mother plan for him to choose such a girl? What if Wei Ruolan was captured by Shi Xiangyun?Although the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Chang'an City are not prone to gossip, everyone will avoid men and women without parents when they talk about marriage. Shi Xiangyun is one of them, because a man and a woman with both parents have a good life, and they are considered good relatives.

As far as he knows, Shi Xiangyun is not on the list of many dignitaries and dignitaries who promise their sons marriage.

Just like Mr. Yu Hengyu, what a noble uncle of the country, he was born with both civil and military skills, and won the holy favor. Rong's reputation is afraid of restraining his daughter, and the snobbish family is too chasing after fame and fortune, and the Yu family doesn't like it, so he wasted until he was seventeen or eighteen years old and has not been engaged. If it weren't for the kindness of the Lin family, Mr. Lin would not care about those matters of fate Well, he couldn't marry a rich lady with all four corners like Miss Lin.

Shi Xiangyun's fate is comparable to Yu Heng's. In fact, she is not as good as Yu Heng with the comment of Lingtai master and the status of uncle Guo. Marrying such a daughter-in-law has such a disposition, obviously the wife is uneasy and kind. !

Wei Ruolan heard him repeating Shi Xiangyun's fate over and over again, her words were full of worry, so she couldn't help spitting at him, and said with a smile: "You little boy, you didn't hear what I said clearly? The matter of fate is illusory, The so-called hard fate is caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters. People in the world don't say justice, but believe it and add fuel to the flames. It can be seen that this heart is not right. Take a closer look, Mr. Yu was brought up by the old lady, why did he restrain the old lady? How did Miss Shi beat the Bowling Marquis?"

Fengnian sighed, Shi Xiangyun is really lucky to have Wei Ruolan's words.

He said: "Uncle thinks like this, it can be seen that the temperament of the uncle is as bright as the wind and the moon, but the worry of the villain is not groundless, the uncle actually thinks carefully."

Wei Ruolan waved her hand and said, "No need to say more, just talk about what I asked you to inquire about."

Feng Nian immediately straightened his waist, and said seriously: "Since the uncle said so, I will not say much about Miss Shi's fate, but I think it is inappropriate to ask about Miss Shi's character and temperament! "

After hearing this, Wei Ruolan hurriedly asked why.

Feng Nian sorted out his thoughts, and said eloquently: "Mrs. Baolinghou came from a famous family and raised her children very well. It is well known in the world that although Miss Shi is a niece, she is taught like the daughter of her own relatives. According to my little inquiry It is said that Miss Shi not only read and read since she was a child, but also writes good poems and is good at needlework. When she is a little older, Mrs. Baolinghou often takes her out and makes friends with people. Familiar, it can be seen that Mrs. Bowling Hou has intentions."

Hearing this, Wei Ruolan asked suspiciously: "Isn't this excellent? How can you say it's inappropriate? Read and write, you should be sensible and sensible, needleworkers are in line with De Rong's skills, and making friends with people is even more extensive. This is what a daughter in the world should learn, but it is the same for anyone with a little knowledge, what is wrong?"

Feng Nian hurriedly said: "Master, listen to me."

Wei Ruolan knew that she was in a hurry, she didn't feel her face was slightly hot, she finally calmed down, then motioned for him to continue, she pretended to stand up calmly, walked with her hands behind her back, stood under the window, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Fengnian said slowly behind the back: "I think it's inappropriate because Miss Shi grew up in Rongguo Mansion. If she hadn't been engaged, she would have lived in Rongguo Mansion for [-] days a year. Rongguo Mansion It’s not necessary to tell me what kind of ethos there is, even if you want to come, you will know it. It’s okay for Miss Shi to sit and sleep with Master Bao when she was a child. Whose relatives, sisters and brothers don’t have the affection when they were young? They are not taboo when they are young. However, at the age of ten or so, Mrs. Shi still often communicates with the flower girl in Mr. Bao's house, and the words are very intimate. Most of Mr. Bao's purse fans, shoes, socks and tapes are from Mrs. Shi. Hand, in order to make it so unique, Ms. Shi often works until midnight!"

Wei Ruolan's complexion suddenly changed, and there was a trace of hesitation on the face with his back to Fengnian.

What does it mean that men and women have different seats at the age of seven, and it is fine when they are young, but after the age of ten, they hang out with the people in their cousin's house?It's okay for the younger sister to do needlework for the elder brother, but what does it look like for a cousin as far away as Shi Xiangyun?Could it be that among the ten or twenty maids in Jia Baoyu's room, they couldn't find anyone who could do needlework?Who doesn't know that the needles and threads that Jia Baoyu usually wears are exquisite.Wei Ruolan was familiar with Jia Baoyu, Feng Ziying and others, so she naturally knew that there was a flamboyant treasure in Baoyu's room, who was no longer a maid, but a housemate.

Outside, Xue Pan and Feng Ziying all know Hua Xiren's identity, how come they don't know anything inside?According to the boy who followed Baoyu, everyone in their house knew about it except for the old lady and the wife, but they just didn't know the way.

Maybe there's a reason for that?

Wei Ruolan is open-minded, although she is intelligent, she doesn't want to maliciously speculate on others, especially her fiancée, so after she was surprised, she opened her mouth to ask about this matter carefully.

When I heard that Shi Xiangyun was living in the Rongguo Mansion, Xiren was her personal maid, who acted properly and abided by her duties. Later, Jiamu gave Baoyu to Baoyu. belly.Shi Xiangyun had no parents since he was a child. Although Shi Nai and his wife were well-bred, they were not as good as their first relatives. Since Xiren cared for her, she was moved and naturally responded with great kindness. He didn't care about the attacker's identity.

Wei Ruolan doesn't have a biological mother to take care of her, and her father can't control the inner house, so of course she understands the longing in Shi Xiangyun's heart.

Fengnian was afraid that Wei Ruolan would get angry and lose his health, so he regretted speaking too hastily, so he hurriedly stepped forward and walked to his side, seeing his calm expression, he felt relieved, and said: "Master, don't worry, I heard that since the engagement Afterwards, Mrs. Baolinghou held Miss Shi to embroider the dowry at home, so she never made needlework for Second Master Bao, and she never went to Rongguo Mansion to play and joke with Second Master Bao.”

Wei Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief, Shi Xiangyun was still young after all, if he had changed his ways, he would not have to mention them in the past.What he is most afraid of is that Shi Xiangyun is not aware of his engagement and is still messing around in the Rongguo Mansion.

The Ningguo Mansion is extremely picky. Although the Rongguo Mansion is better and has a talent like Jia Lian, the atmosphere is not good.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "How is Miss Shi's temperament?"

She knows what everyone should learn, but at this time she lacks character. He doesn't want to marry a wife who is well-born and educated but has an arrogant personality. Some people's temperament is like this. temper.However, Shi Xiangyun, an old servant girl, treated her very kindly, which shows that her heart is not evil.

Fengnian hesitated for a moment, according to his inquiries, everyone said that Miss Shi was broad-minded, heroic, never angry for little things, she always treated her slaves kindly, and it was best to fight injustice.However, he also found out that Miss Shi's demeanor was bold and unrestrained, her words were reckless, and she was very straightforward.He doesn't know whether such a temperament is good or bad, whether it's true or not, the so-called outspokenness means that there is no heart, growing up in a noble family, going in and out of dignitaries' homes, and being the head of the family in the future, this kind of personality is not appropriate, but if it is not true This scheming is even more frightening.

Fengnian didn't know how to tell Wei Ruolan these words, it's not good to hide it, but it would make Wei Ruolan feel annoyed if he told the truth.

There was only one thing he didn't say, and that was that Shi Xiangyun's appearance was not stunning.

The servants in Rongguo Mansion don't talk about the door, they talk about everything, they all know that the young lady is beautiful, and the few girls living in Rongguo Mansion are all rare in the world Shi Xiangyun is much inferior in appearance.However, being a good wife and concubine is not a shortcoming.Although Shi Xiangyun's appearance is not stunning, she is still a woman of Zhong Ling Yuxiu.

Wei Ruolan had a general impression in her heart, although he is very good at martial arts, but he is not without talent, it is inevitable that a person who reads has some romantic thoughts, and when he heard the news about Shi Xiangyun, the outline drawn in his heart was far from being as perfect as he thought , I don’t feel a little disappointed, but he is very open-minded after all, and he has been influenced by Lin Ruhai, and he often reflects on himself. He feels that he is not a perfect person, so why should he be too harsh on Shi Xiangyun, not to mention that Shi Xiangyun is young and has never done anything heinous. .

So, he turned around and said indifferently: "In a family like ours, especially those without the protection of their parents, how can there be an innocent person? If she is really like this, I am a little disappointed, and feel that she is not qualified for the post of mistress Yes. As long as people’s hearts and morals are not bad, it’s not bad to be stupid on the outside and smart on the inside. At least you know how to guard against the evil of others and keep your own kindness, so you won’t be bullied. I already know these things, so keep asking, anyway I won't let myself suffer."

If Shi Xiangyun didn't have scheming methods, it would be difficult for her to survive in the complicated Wei family.With the situation of the Wei family and his stepmother staring at her like a tiger, he definitely doesn't need a naive and easy-to-be-bewitched mistress.So Wei Ruolan is happy to have Shi Xiangyun's scheming, he is very sure that Shi Xiangyun will not let him down.

Fengnian listened to Wei Ruolan's explanation, thought for a while, yes, it is not a bad thing to be scheming, lest he be plotted by others, as long as he does not harm others, even if he is as cunning as a fox, he still has the virtue of jade.According to the information he has inquired, Shi Xiangyun has some skills in people and the world, and it's not that he really doesn't understand.

In all fairness, leaving aside some minor flaws, Wei Ruolan is quite satisfied with Shi Xiangyun, with a complete family background, well-educated background, scheming connections, and complete sex. I only hope that she can maintain this heart as always.

Fengnian understood Wei Ruolan's thoughts very well, but he was not very satisfied. He was very afraid of Shi Xiangyun's reputation of hard life. If there was any accident after Wei Ruolan got married, Mrs. Wei would obviously put all the crimes on Shi Xiangyun's head In fact, using her fate to describe Wei Ruolan's fate, it is very likely to use her fate to harm Wei Ruolan.

Wei Ruolan and Fengnian's master and servant secretly inquired about Shi Xiangyun's affairs, and each had their own ideas in their minds. Shi Xiangyun in Baolinghou's mansion also secretly ordered Cuilu to persuade Zhou Nanny to send her nanny to investigate Wei Ruolan's details.

Shi Xiangyun is not ignorant of the world, she knows that she is not Mrs. Baolinghou's direct daughter after all, she has no parents and brothers to rely on, her father's family and mother's dowry are not very rich, and after many years, most of them will be destroyed, how can she not worry about her marriage? ?She was also afraid that what Shi Nai and his wife would say to her was not good.

When she first got married, she knew Wei Ruolan's family background, wealth, character and appearance, but those were all heard from Mrs. Shi Nai, so she couldn't be sure, so she secretly sent the nanny to find out.After hearing that Wei Ruolan is currently studying in the Imperial College, she is born with both talent and appearance, like a fairy like jade, very outstanding, even better than Baoyu, her personality is also very good, and she will be able to win the title in the future, she is the golden tortoise in the eyes of many people Son-in-law, Shi Xiangyun immediately felt relieved, and his brows and eyes were filled with joy.

Although when she was in Rongguo Mansion, she secretly complained that she could not be the master in Baolinghou Mansion, and she often claimed to be a commoner girl without parents, but in fact she was very satisfied and proud of this marriage.

Cuilu knew what Shi Xiangyun was thinking, and said with a smile, "Miss, don't worry? People say that my uncle is good! My uncle and the second master of the Lin family are very close. Master Lin also taught my uncle that as the saying goes, like attracts like. In the end, the Lin family is so clean and upright that everyone can get along well? In the future, the son-in-law will attack the official, and the girl will be the imperial wife in the past."

Shi Xiangyun blushed unconsciously, and spat: "What are you talking about, you little hoof? Be careful and I'll beat you. Could it be that you want a son-in-law?"

Cui Hui covered her face, and said with a smile: "I'm talking about the girl, what does the girl say about me? People listened and said I was frivolous. I have been with the girl for so many years, and I am dedicated to her, and I will serve her in the future! "

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, his face became even hotter.

Cui Ling was born innocent and innocent, and often talked with Shi Xiangyun. Seeing Shi Xiangyun like this, she couldn't help laughing secretly for a while, and then said: "Thinking about the marriages of the girls recently, except for Miss Lin and the eldest aunt, no one else is as good as a girl. Needless to say, the third girl and the fourth girl have not been seen yet, and the same is true of Bao girl. Although the second girl is engaged, she still doesn't know when and when she will be able to earn a royal order for the girl. The ancestral title awaits."

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun's complacency faded away, and instead he felt a little bored.

Young sisters often have a competitive heart. Shi Xiangyun grew up in the Rongguo Mansion and knew that she had the highest status. After all, no one can match his status, not to mention that his two uncles are both enshrined as marquises, and they are considered second-class in the honorable family, far higher than the title of Jia She in the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Zhen, Jia Zheng and others It can't even be compared with it.

What she is most proud of is that her marriage has been settled, and she is ten times better than Yingchun and other sisters. I have passed myself, not only have my parents and brothers, but also have a marriage, I was the first-class wife in the past, and I was actually compared.

Shi Nai and his wife, Shi Ding and his wife are very good friends with the Lin family, and they communicate very frequently. The two aunts often take themselves and their younger sisters to the Lin family, so she pays close attention to the Lin family.She also went there when Lin Rui got married. She saw that the ten miles of red makeup on the day before the wedding was not as much as Miaoyu, but it was three points better than Yuan Chun. It was bestowed by the empress dowager and the current empress, and then the Beijing Palace added makeup, which was very decent and generous, and Shi Xiangyun couldn't help feeling a little more depressed.She knew that without the care of her parents, a dowry of at most 1 taels would be considered good.

Cuiwei knew what Xiangyun was worried about, but there was nothing she could do about it, so she could only comfort her secretly, and said: "Seeing that winter is coming, my uncle sent some good leathers, and my wife asked someone to bring them. I think it is enough to do it." Two clothes, how about making a leather jacket for the girl?"

It's not nonsense that things gather together and people are divided into groups. Miss Lin receives gifts from Mrs. Yu every year, and this year is no exception. Perhaps influenced by this, Wei Ruolan actually took a few good leathers from the autumn hunting. They sent someone to send it over, in the name of filial piety to Mrs. Shi Nai, but in fact everyone knew that it was for Shi Xiangyun.

Xiangyun's cheeks were filled with clouds, he nodded very lightly, and then said: "Leave some leather for me, I will personally make a Guanyin pocket for the ancestor and send it to someone."

Cui Ling nodded in agreement, and went to cook by herself.She was originally Jiamu's maidservant, so she naturally wanted Xiangyun to honor Jiamu.

There are a lot of people with discerning eyes in the capital, and several families have already discovered Wei Ruolan's actions. In Chang'an City, the movements of many princes and grandsons are in the eyes of others, and they cannot be hidden from others at all.After learning about this, except for Mrs. Wei who sneered and was noncommittal, everyone else smiled knowingly and did not criticize him harshly.

The mistresses of big families usually try their best to inquire about all kinds of news from every household in the capital, whether it is serious news or the gossip of the servants of each family, so as to intercept what they need. Don't underestimate these means, they The news obtained is often very important, and many officials at home and abroad have benefited a lot from it.

As females, they all live in one back house. Many mistresses heard of Wei Ruolan's move, and then thought about the situation of Wei's family, and quickly understood Mrs. Wei's thoughts.

They don't say it to the outside world, but most of them will tell their daughter-in-law and others carefully.

For example, at this time, Jia Min was teaching Daiyu, and Zeng Jing was listening.

Because of Lin Zhi, Daiyu naturally knew about Wei Ruolan.Lin Zhi and her have the best relationship, there is really no second pair in the world, Lin Zhi has a lot of things that he doesn't tell his parents and elder brother, but he will tell his sister, one is that Daiyu has a strict mouth and never reveals anything , Erze Daiyu is extremely intelligent, and often helps him make suggestions and solve many things that he can't do anything about.

Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "It seems that many people are well aware of Mrs. Wei's thoughts?"

Jia Min nodded slightly, and said: "This matter cannot be hidden from those smart people in the capital, and although there are not many smart people, not so many that they are all over the city, but there are not many, as far as I know, there are about ten people. "

Zeng Jing smiled and said: "My wife is very right. When the two families first got married earlier, many people saw the way. My mother said that thanks to Miss Shi's appearance and good character, although Mrs. Wei is thoughtful, It is also criticized secretly by people, but they have not done anything that makes people feel bad, if Brother Ruolan and Miss Shi grow up on their own, they may not be able to make a fortune for a long time."

Daiyu was taken aback when she heard the words, why is Princess Wende also paying attention?Zeng Jing also called Wei Ruolan Brother Lan?While thinking about it, Jia Min clapped his palms and smiled, nodded and said: "The princess should be careful, and should be more concerned, after all, it is a relationship between relatives."

Daiyu frowned and opened her eyes, she was quite puzzled and said: "Why, are you relatives of sister-in-law?"

Zeng Jing nodded, and replied: "The deceased Mrs. Xianwei is my mother's second aunt. After all, Brother Lang is also my cousin, but Mrs. Xianwei is gone, and her mother's family is already in the family. Luo, the Wei family rarely mentioned this matter, and gradually fewer people outside knew about it, and even those who knew felt that this relative was far away, so I didn’t say much about it.”

Jia Min showed approval, and hurriedly explained the relationship between the various families in the capital to the aunt and sister-in-law.

Jia Min grew up in the capital since she was a child, and then lived in the south of the Yangtze River. She has been in charge of the family for more than [-] years, has many confidants, and is well-informed, which is rare.

Zeng Jing has already entered the house, and Daiyu has been engaged, all of which require them to study hard.

Even though the aunt and sister-in-law are very clever, it still took several months until the end of the year to understand the various relationships between the various households at home and abroad. Relatives, classmates, classmates, fellow villagers, etc. Needless to say, those who have contacts at present, even if they are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, Jia Min who has a relationship is like a treasure. , very busy.

In the blink of an eye, it was the new year. This year, because Lin Ruhai was not at home, Lin Rui was in charge of all affairs outside. Even if a bride came in, Jia Min was still a bit disappointed, and it was inevitable that it would not be as lively as before.

One day, because Jia Min went out to eat New Year's wine, Daiyu suddenly came over with a brochure, and said to Zeng Jing: "The matchmaker for the Shiwei family is not someone else, but Mrs. Wei's sister. Sister-in-law, I found something. Strange thing, can you notice it?"

Since Zeng Jing entered the house, her husband and wife are loving, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious, and her aunt and sister-in-law are close. Life is going well. Apart from reciting poems and painting with her husband, she cooks tea and enjoys flowers with her sister-in-law. Hearing Daiyu's words, he put down the account book in his hand and said with a smile, "What a strange thing, let me hear it."

Because of Lin Ruhai's influence, Jia Min didn't like to exercise power anymore. In the past few months, most of the trivial matters in the family have been handed over to Zeng Jing. He is only in charge of the master key of the warehouse, and only knows about health care. After leaving the court, the youngest son has not yet married, so he has to make decisions on the two major matters to rest assured, otherwise the master key would have been handed over to the eldest daughter-in-law.Fortunately, Lin's family was in good order inside and out, and the servants performed their duties. On the books, they were very clear, but Zeng Jing was not too busy.

Daiyu handed her the brochure and said, "Sister-in-law, look, Mrs. Wei has four sisters, but three of them married into the Duke's house to fill in the house. Entered the door and died early, so it is considered the original spouse."

Zeng Jing was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on her face, and said, "There is such a thing? I didn't pay attention." She looked carefully at the families listed by Daiyu, and sure enough, as Daiyu said, Mrs. Wei was General Wei's fill-in. His second sister is the second-class hereditary Qi Jianhui, the grandson of the Marquis of Xiangyang, and his sister is the third-rank Weiyuan General Ma Shang, the grandson of the ruler Ma Kui. The elder sister is the wife of the Marquis of Jinxiang and has a son. His name is Han Qi, and he has close contacts with Ning Rong and the two houses. When Qin Keqing went to the funeral, several families went to send the funeral.

After reading it, and figured out the connection, Zeng Jing said: "My sister is smart after all, I didn't realize it."

Daiyu said with a smile: "I only found out about this after I understood the relationship between these people's names and the various families. My sister-in-law is busy with housework, how can I have time to see these? But I think it's very strange, why do their daughters always behave like this?" What about her family? I found out that Mrs. Wei's niece from her natal family is also married to a widower."

Zeng Jing pondered for a while, and soon understood the reason. She sneered, showing contempt on her face, and said, "Did my sister see anything?" Together, they taught Daiyu everything they knew, so instead of expressing their own opinions, they asked Daiyu instead.

Daiyu stretched out her fiber and pointed to the titles of Mrs. Wei's and her sisters' husbands' titles on the brochure, and then pointed to the official positions of Mrs. Wei's natal family, and said, "It must be because of this?"

This sentence is extremely concise and concise, but Zeng Jing understood it all at once. He couldn't help but admire, nodded and smiled and said: "My sister is right. Since ancient times, the marriage between the two clans is good for two surnames. What is needed, so it is said that the family is right, although there are some who are not particular about it, it is very rare. In terms of the status of Mrs. Wei's family, the highest rank in the court is only a fourth or fifth rank official, and it is impossible to form a good relationship with the Duke's family. They all have the heart to climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix, so they found another way to enter the house as a house filler. The status of the house fill in the prince's house is mostly lower than that of the original wife, and their family background is enough. In this way, they There are many in-laws of the prince's family in the family, which is really a great benefit."

Daiyu sighed, "Why do you have to do this? What happens in a lifetime is so trivial."

Zeng Jing smiled softly, and said: "There are many people who can't see through it, and they insist on doing something to fill in the house with a stepmother. In my opinion, the worst thing in this world is a stepmother. She treats the children of her ex-wife strictly, always educates them, and makes people happy." It is said that it is mean, if you treat it gently, and everything is lenient, but some people say that it is flattery. No matter what you do, others will say that you have ulterior motives. It is extremely difficult to grasp the proper proportion, but in life, people are often not To punish the world for oneself, how can there be no selfishness? Therefore, in this world, no matter whether it is a continuation or a stepmother, it doesn't matter if it is bad, even if it has a good heart, it will not have a good reputation."

In this regard, Daiyu deeply agrees.

What the aunt and sister-in-law didn't know was that because of Lin Ruhai's rebirth, many things have changed in this life, not only Su Li, Zhen Shiyin, Jia She and his son, but also Shi Nai's wife, the fate has changed.

In the previous life, Shi Nai's wife passed away before Daiyu entered the Rongguo Mansion. Shi Xiangyun, as a direct niece, went home to attend the funeral, so that Mother Jia gave the pearl to Baoyu during this period and changed her name to Xiren. Daiyu enters the Rongguo Mansion, takes the same breath as Baoyu, and replaces Xiangyun's position in the hearts of Jiamu and Baoyu.

This is also the reason why Xiangyun targets Daiyu everywhere.

And the wife Shi Nai continued to marry was none other than Mrs. Wei's direct sister, the one who married Ma Kui to fill the house. The marriage between Wei Ruolan and Shi Xiangyun was decided by her and Mrs. Wei.

Afterwards, when Liu Qingran heard about this incident, she shouted that it was a fluke.

Daiyu couldn't help feeling very puzzled, so she hurriedly asked the truth.

Liu Qingran has always acted unscrupulously, Kuang and Daiyu are very good, so he said nonchalantly: "You don't need to hide my affairs from you, even if I don't tell you, with your ability, you can still know some clues."

After finishing speaking, she told Daiyu to know.

It turned out that at the end of the year, someone told her about a marriage. The other party was a hereditary first-class prince. He was 23 years old this year. He was talented in both civil and military affairs. The wife's family has already explained that the family will be sealed, and the wife of the first-class marquis is super.

Daiyu hurriedly said: "You are lucky, I think you refused?"

Qing Ran put her hands on her shoulders with a smile, and said: "So we are real sisters, and many of our thoughts coincide with each other. You also know that I am a bit older, and most of those who are similar in age are already married or engaged So my mother was very anxious, and she was a little bit tempted by this marriage, so I told her that if I treat the children of my ex-wife too strictly, someone will say that I am vicious. It is not that my children do not love me. They are so kind, let them do whatever they want, without teaching them, some people will say that I deliberately flatter and kill them, I just think about them wholeheartedly, with both strength and softness, others don't believe that I have such a kind heart, and they will say I have bad intentions, so it is very difficult for this stepmother to do."

Daiyu hastily recited a Buddha, and said, "My sister is right."

Therefore, Liu Qingran refused at that time, so this year has never been easy. Without him, Mrs. Liu was troubled by Qingran's marriage, so she was inevitably a little depressed. I got a lot of good friends to talk about Qingran's marriage, among them Jia Min is the most.

Today Lin's family invites New Year's wine, Jia Min invites many good friends, it is very lively, Qingran comes first with Madam Liu, Madam Liu and Jia Min are talking in the hall, Qingran is laughing with Daiyu in the side hall.

Knowing Qingran's predicament, Daiyu immediately smiled, very unsympathetic, so annoyed that Qingran stretched out her hand to beat her.

While they were playing, it was reported that the young ladies from all families had followed their wives and wives to the gate, Qing Ranfang sat back in the original place solemnly, Daiyu hurriedly adjusted her clothes, and went out to greet her mother and sister-in-law.

The sisters took this as a joke and didn't take it to heart at first, but Daiyu was worried about Qingran, she has a careful mind, high vision, superior knowledge, and often acts unexpected, who in the world is worthy of her?Unexpectedly, within a few days, it was heard that Mrs. Liu had arranged a marriage for Liu Qingran, and it was Mu Pu, the eldest son of Dongping Palace.

Mu Pu was originally engaged, but before they got married, his father-in-law’s family took bribes of up to one million taels of silver, causing Long Yan to be furious. The father-in-law and his son were sentenced to death, and the other wives and daughters were all sentenced to exile. He and his fiancee were not yet married. , nor exonerated.

This marriage was originally bestowed by the Supreme Emperor, but it did not exempt her from the crime, because she was a virgin before she left the cabinet.

Princess Dongping and Jia Minna are both excellent handkerchiefs, Mu Pu and Lin Rui have a very good friendship, the mother and son are quite upright, and they didn't regret their relationship because of the other's bad deeds, but that lady is guilty, no matter what They couldn't even get married, even if there was an imperial decree, in desperation, the matter was delayed.Only Prince Dongping was a little bit displeased, but he couldn't hold back his wife and children, so he spent some time in planning, intending to send them to the place of exile safely, and sent a few people to protect them along the way, settle in the place of exile, and avoid being bullied.

The actions of the Dongping Prince's Mansion are very commendable. They are not trying to gain fame, but out of their own hearts. Even so, Mu Pu's marriage will make them very embarrassed.

Everything has been arranged, who would have thought that the young lady hanged herself quietly the day before the exile, and left a blood letter, saying that she was grateful to the Dongping Palace for treating each other so well, and did not resign because of her crime. The body of a sinner ruined Mu Pu's good relationship, and Yun Puliu's weak nature was no match for the wind and rain of exile, so he followed his parents and elder brothers under the nine springs.

Although her mother was sentenced to exile, she died suddenly in prison after her father and brother were executed.

The behavior of the Dongping Palace not only did not make Mu Pu criticized, but made him a favorite in the eyes of the daughters of the mistresses. After all, he did not abandon his fiancée when he was in trouble, but took care of her. , It is more than ten times and a hundred times stronger than those men who are about to divorce their wives if they have an accident in the wife's family.

Mu Pu kept guarding his fiancée for a full year, until last autumn Princess Dongping found a wife for him.

This marriage was arranged by Concubine Beijing in Baoshan. The two families are familiar with each other. I never thought of these two young children. Now I heard her mention it. The concubine went to the palace to ask for an order from the empress dowager and empress, and then the emperor Changqing bestowed a marriage.
