Indulgence in the Red Chamber

After Jiao Da was sent to Zhuangzi by Jia Rong, he was often bullied. Fortunately, he was strong and strong, and he was a man who had fought and suffered.Otherwise, he would have been bullied to death by the head of the Black Mountain Villa.When Xuan Ning found him through the pumpkin mother and daughter, he was too sick to get out of bed. Xuan Ning wanted to buy him back, so he asked someone to find the head of the village. The old good-for-nothing happily asked Xuan Ning to take it away without even asking for any money.However, for the sake of insurance, Xuan Ning still found a guarantor, paid five taels of silver, and took Jiao Da away after breaking the contract.

When Daiyu saw Jiao Da, it had been more than half a month since Xuanning bought him back.

At this time, Jiao Da was under the care of Lin Aize, the manager of the Lin family, and most of his illness was cured, and he became much more energetic.Hearing that it was the daughter of the aunt who married the Lin family back then who wanted to see him, he was very excited, and begged Lin Aize to send two servants to send him to take a bath and change clothes, and then Fang followed Lin Aize in a car to Linji Inn The geese return to the semicolon and wait.

After waiting for about an hour, Fang heard that the master's car had arrived, so he hurriedly got up to go out to meet him, but was stopped by Lin Aize and told him: "Let's wait in this room, there will naturally be women waiting outside. After the princess enters the house to have tea, she can only enter when someone summons her."

Sure enough, after waiting for another stick of incense, I heard the boy outside reply: "The chief steward, the princess's sister in front of me has sent a message, asking the chief steward to take Jiao Da to the No. [-] Tianzi room."

"Okay. Got it." Lin Aize hurriedly stood up and straightened his clothes, Jiao Jiao said loudly: "Let's go."

Jiao Dafang followed Lin Aize out of the house in a regular manner, turned back a few corridors, and went up another floor.Suddenly there was a burst of fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.Standing under the eaves of the viewing corridor were eight big girls, all dressed in neat flag outfits, looking as juicy and pleasant as a handful of water onions.Jiao Da was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, only watching his own toes walking slowly to the door step by step.

Lin Aize cupped his hands to the girl at the door: "Madam, please go in and tell me that the old slave Lin Aize is waiting outside with Jiao Da to be summoned by the master."

"Sir, the master said, I'll tell you to go in when you come. Uncle Jiao, go in too."

When Jiao Da heard the girl address him like this, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I dare not. You can just call the old slave Jiao Da."

Xueyan smiled slightly, and glanced at the little girl next to her. The little girl hurriedly stretched out her hand to open the curtain, and Lin Aize brought Jiao Da into the room.

Daiyu was not in the hall outside, but Lin Aize only dared to stand in the hall and dared not take half a step forward.

Through the beaded curtain, Daiyu saw Lin Aize outside and the old man beside him, and said softly: "Xueyan, ask someone to bring two stools. Tell them to sit down and talk."

"The slave dare not. There is no seat for slaves in front of the master. The slaves should stand up and answer." Lin Aize hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"It's okay." Daiyu smiled, and looked at Xuanning beside her.Xuan Ning nodded, stood up, walked slowly to the bead curtain, looked at Jiao Da, and asked: "Jiao Da, the princess passed you on today, including when I went to Zhuangzi to buy you a few days ago, just for One thing. This is an old story in the Rongguo Mansion. I think you are the oldest old man in the two mansions. I can't hide this matter from you. I hope you watched your dead aunt's sake, Don't deceive your cousin girl."

After hearing this, Jiao Da hurriedly knelt down tremblingly, and said slowly: "This old slave knows. It stands to reason that the young master saved this old slave's life and bought him as a slave. This old slave's life is Young master. The young master said one thing, but the old slave dare not say the other. But the matter involved Jiao Da’s old master. Although Jiao Da is lowly, he would not do the kind of thing that sells the master for glory. But today’s things are different. Today It was Jiao Da's old master's cousin who asked the question, as long as Jiao Da knows, Jiao Da will know everything and say everything."

"I don't ask you about other things. You just tell us about the marriage between my aunt and Mrs. Lin. Be sure to tell us in detail, and that's all." After Xuan Ning finished speaking, he turned around and sat back, drinking tea and lightly Gently blow on the tea powder.

After Jiao Da heard this, he quickly kowtowed again, agreed, and wanted to kneel on the ground and speak slowly.Daiyu ordered someone to help him up and sit on the embroidered stool before allowing him to answer.

Jiao Da is old, but he is not confused.Sure enough, she made it very clear about Jia Min's engagement to Lin Ruhai when she was a daughter at home.It turned out that Jia Min was selected as a court lady at the beginning, because of her ingenuity, she was once assigned to Kunning Palace to serve Queen Hesheli.Later, when Lin Ruhai was in Tanhua, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, and the queen, as the mother of a country, personally brought wine to the banquet to add to the fun. Jia Min and other court ladies poured wine for Tanhua, the No. The wine jug was overturned, and Lin Ruhai's wine was spilled.The queen was angry and wanted to punish Jia Min severely. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai wrote a poem on the spot and pleaded for Jia Min.As soon as the emperor was happy, he said to the queen: "Tanhua has already spoken for her about small things. Why don't you just forget about it."

At that time, the emperor was intent on reusing Hanchen, and the conflict between Manchu and Han had eased on the surface, but it was getting worse secretly. Suo Etu looked down on Hanchen from the bottom of his heart, but he dared not be too presumptuous under the pressure of Kangxi .In fact, they are looking for opportunities to take advantage of the new Hanchen.So he quietly persuaded the queen to follow the example of the ancients, taking the allusion of "Pengshan is not far away", and rewarding the maid Jia Min beside her to Lin Ruhai as his wife.

The palace ladies are also the emperor's women. Before they are released at the age, they can only be released for marriage if they do not receive the emperor's blessing.Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for referring court ladies to courtiers.

However, Queen Hesheli was very good at talking and timing, so she proposed to raise Lin Ruhai to the flag first, and then give him a marriage to show the mighty grace of the emperor.At that time, after Emperor Kangxi heard about this incident, not only was he not angry, but he praised her for being able to handle affairs. This not only fulfilled Lin Ruhai's affection for Jia Min, but also won the relationship between Man and Han.The emperor also said that both the Manchu and the Han are the citizens of the Qing Dynasty, and there is no need to lift the flag, so Lin Ruhai was asked to marry Jia Min as a Han, so as to better demonstrate the broad mind of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, this is the brilliance of Suo'etu.He can use this matter to buy Lin Ruhai's heart of surrender, so that he can have a capable assistant in the court in the future.

To the Lin family, this gift of marriage is a great grace, indeed a mighty grace from the emperor.

Although the Lin family is a family of Zhongming Dingshi, they are Han Chinese after all.In the early Qing Dynasty, Han officials were always excluded from the court, and many ministers kept silent to protect themselves during many important events in the court.Compared with the Manchurians of Zhenghuang, Xianghuang and Zhengbai Banners in Manchuria, there is a big gap in status.

Of course, this marriage gift also made the honor and disgrace of Rongguo Mansion and Suo'etu more closely linked.

While the entire Rongguo Mansion was grateful for the emperor's grace, they were also a little depressed.It's just that this depression can only be held back in my heart and dare not speak out.why?Obviously, the Jia family is quite confident in Jia Min's talent and appearance, and Jia Min is assigned to be a maid beside the queen.Everyone in the Qing Dynasty knew that Emperor Kangxi had a deep relationship with Empress Hesheli. If the Empress felt unwell on weekdays, the Emperor would go to Kunning Palace to see her almost every day.Jia Min had many opportunities to be seen by the emperor.The Jia family also had many, many opportunities to become the most expensive pepper house of the royal relatives.This is just a small thought of Rongguo Mansion or Jia She, and I dare not say it in a big way.

However, as the eldest brother of Jia Min, Jia She had no choice but to make the greatest plan for the Jia family's interests in the absence of his father.Jia Amnesty first visited Suo'etu's mansion by Xie En's order, and then he often went to Suo'ertu's mansion. Suo'etu also liked Jia Amnesty very much, so it didn't take long for Jia Amnesty to become Suo'etu's confidant.

After that, Jia Amnesty said a lot of bad things about Han officials in Suo'etu's ear, implying that he didn't have much confidence in the character of Lin Ruhai, a Han family official.Worried that my sister would be unhappy after marrying.

Suo'etu is an old fox in Vanity Fair, he can understand Jia She's thoughts without guessing.Besides, he himself intended to use this matter to subdue the Lin family.So he started to create problems for the Lin family by taking advantage of his mother's family.

During this period, I don't know what kind of agreement the Jia family and Suo'etu reached. In short, no matter how urged by the Lin family, Jia Min's wedding date has not been fixed.The Lin family urged them repeatedly, and later the emperor inadvertently asked about it.Jia's mansion simply spread word to the outside world, saying that their young lady was ill.The wedding date can only be postponed again.

After that, Lin Ruhai's father was really helpless. For the sake of his son's marriage and the honor and disgrace of Yilin's family, he had no choice but to visit Suoxiang's mansion in person with a big gift.

Later, after layers of negotiations, Jia Min's wedding date was set.It's just that the Jia family changed their ways and put forward a condition: the Lin family will return the Jia family a good daughter in the future.

What does that mean?That is, after Lin Ruhai married Jia Min, if he had a daughter, then this daughter belonged to the Jia family.

This daughter will be sent to Rongguo Mansion for recuperation after she is five years old, and will be employed as the daughter-in-law of Jia's family in the future.

At that time, Lin Ruhai's father had no choice but to think that his son might not be able to give birth to a daughter, and maybe his daughter-in-law would be able to give birth to a son when he entered the house. This sentence became empty talk.No matter how unreasonable the Jia family is, there is no reason why they can't take over their males.Moreover, Lin Ruhai's father didn't take this matter too seriously at the time, thinking that the Jia family just made such a request because they were reluctant to let their daughter marry Jiangnan for a while, and would lose their kinship connection in the future.Besides, the marriage of aunt and uncle was originally a good thing to get married, and there was no objection to scientific research at that time.What's more, even if the daughter-in-law actually gave birth to a daughter after entering the door, it is also the granddaughter of the Jia family, and she also has the blood of the Jia family. Well, the poison of a tiger does not eat its children, so they will not harm their granddaughter.

In this way, Jia Min married into the Lin family gracefully and became Lin Ruhai's first wife.

Because of their relationship, Lin Ruhai and his wife are very affectionate.Jia Min missed Lin Ruhai's affection, and returned it with her own affection.It's just that after getting married, there will be no news for a long time.

A few years later, Jia Min has never added a child to the Lin family.

The Lin family was still calm, but the Jia family was a little anxious.

At this time, Queen Hesheli was dead, and there were not many concubines around Kangxi, except for Concubine Hui, there were not many people who were satisfactory.It didn't take long, seeing that Wu Yashi, a court lady serving as an errand in the Qianqing Palace, had already won the favor of Kangxi, and she was granted the title of promise and given to live in the Yonghe Palace.The Jia family was even more jealous, but they had no choice but to have a daughter to enter the palace, so they remembered the original agreement.

Jia She ordered people to write a letter to urge the Lin family, and there were some words of reproach between the words.It was said that Lin Ruhai broke his promise, and in order not to fulfill his promise, he even made his wife infertile all the time.

Lin Ruhai was very angry and dumped the letter to Jia Min.The couple had a quarrel, Jia Min cried for several days, fell ill and almost wanted to die.After all, Lin Ruhai couldn't bear to part with his wife, so he chose to be tolerant.

Until later, Yuan Chun, the eldest daughter of Jia Zheng, grew up. When she entered the palace for election, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng visited Suo'etu and sent many antiques to Suo'etu. Yuan Chunfang was selected by Prince Yinreng's side.The Jia family thought they had something to rely on, and gradually put aside the affairs of the Lin family.

On the day Jia Min died, it was Jia Lian who mentioned this and wanted to take Daiyu away.It was as if Jia Min's heart and liver had been taken out, his blood surged up and he was fascinated by the phlegm.Although Xuan Ning came to save her once.In the end, it was she who couldn't bear this kind of suffering anymore, ran out of fuel, and passed away.
