Jinyu of the Red Chamber

After Jiamu's birthday banquet was over, Mrs. Baolinghou returned to Shifu, and sent Shi Xiangyun back to her room to rest.

"Why is your face so ugly?" Baoling Hou Shi Nai looked at his wife with a serious face, but was a little puzzled, wondering if something happened to the female relatives.

Shi Nai snorted coldly, looked at Bao Linghou angrily, and said coldly, "She's not your precious niece."

When Shi Nai heard this, he was extremely displeased, his face darkened, and he said in a loud voice: "I don't know why girl Yun has provoked you again."

"Where did she offend me? She offended the Lin family. If you want me to tell you, you'd better go to the Lin mansion in person tomorrow, lest the Lin family think that our historians are impolite." Mrs. Bowlinghou is gone. The good old days.

Shi Nai was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "What's going on? Tell me quickly." Shi Nai was not a lady who stayed in the mansion all day embroidering, so he knew the importance of Lin Ruhai in the emperor's heart.

Mrs. Baolinghou said with a cold smile: "I discipline Yun girl a little bit on weekdays and you just want to say that I blamed her. Now it's all right. I dare to say anything. Today is even more terrible. First, I will say that the Lin family The uncle is impolite, and he said in front of others that the girl from the Lin family is well-known, so the Lin family is easy to provoke? The girl from the Lin family was so embarrassing right now, my siblings and I were so ashamed that we could only find someone Get in through the cracks in the ground." Mrs. Baolinghou looked at Shi Nai after she finished speaking, saw his eyes widen, and sneered again: "Don't think this is over, the old lady's precious grandson said that girl Yun admires the uncle of the Lin family I’m so ashamed of my talent, let’s not talk about it, the wives of all the prefectures will know what Yun girl said today, and it’s fine if I end up with the reputation of not teaching my niece, but the girl from the Shi family still Do you want to discuss marriage? Because of what happened to girl Yun, the reputation of the girl from the Shi family may be half lost."

"This... this..." Shi Nai was angry and impatient, and after holding it back for a long time, he said, "Why don't you look at girl Dianyun, you don't know that she has always been innocent, and her words are not measured. of."

Mrs. Baolinghou became annoyed when she heard this, she slapped the edge of the kang fiercely, and said loudly: "How should I look at it? Is it possible that I can still use a handkerchief to cover the mouth of Yun girl? In the past I don't care so much about my own girl, so what can I do in front of the old lady, whenever I say a word, the old lady might think about me, the last time I went to Rongguo Mansion, the old lady said the truth The outsider told me that girls need to be pampered, just know how to do needlework, you don’t need to learn those things all day long, what’s the use of being a girl? Is it okay to ask Miss Yun to do needlework for me? Tell me with your conscience, which girl in this mansion does not move the needle and thread more than Miss Yun. I have seen her move the needle and thread a few times, but it is for embroidery. Whose? It's not Rongguo Mansion's precious lump." "You can keep your voice down! Don't be afraid that girls and women will hear the joke." Shi Nai frowned and scolded.

Mrs. Bowlinghou's eyes turned red, she looked at Shi Nai and said, "Touch your conscience! I make people laugh, how many people laugh at me today? I don't ask you for anything, you just want to For the sake of my own girls, don't let girl Yun go, if not, I don't have to wait for a marriage proposal, I just take them to twist their hair and become sister-in-law, it's more innocent than now."

"What nonsense are you talking about! You just said a few joking words, the Lin family is well-educated, how could you take it to heart." Shi Nai sternly shouted.

Mrs. Baolinghou said while weeping: "If you know what Yun girl is saying today? You won't say that, just think about it, what kind of girl will be famous? She talks like Miss Lin If Miss Lin doesn't shut her up, how will she behave? If she is more angry, she will bump into a pillar to show her innocence. If that's the case, how will you explain to Lin Ruhai? It's not me The aunt said that even a hundred Yun girls are not as good as Miss Lin. If such a terrible thing happened, even if Yun girls paid for it with her life, the Lin family would not let it go. I am looking at the Lin family today. It's not a kind person, I'm afraid I have already remembered the hatred now."

Shi Nai let out a long sigh, and knew that his wife had never been an alarmist, but right now, he didn't know what to do.

"Tomorrow, I will personally apologize to Lin Ruhai. The most important thing in front of me is the reputation of Yun girl. You also know that my elder brother and sister-in-law left early, leaving only Yun girl's blood. It’s ruined like this, otherwise I will go underground and how will I explain to my elder brother.” Shi Nai sighed lightly, but his eyes turned red when he mentioned his elder brother.

Mrs. Baolinghou knew that he had a deep relationship with her elder brother, so she couldn't bear to force him, so she could only think of ideas with her to restore Yun Yatou's reputation.

Shi Nai thought for a while, then suddenly said: "You said today that Baoyu said that Yun girl admired the Lin family boy?"

"That's not true." Madam Baoling complained, but she didn't understand why Shi Nai would ask such a question.

Shi Nai clapped his palms and let out a loud laugh, which startled Mrs. Baolinghou. Seeing his wife looked at him in confusion, he didn't bother to explain, but instead asked, "How do you look at the Lin family boy today?"

When Lin Jinyu was mentioned, Mrs. Baolinghou laughed and praised: "He is a good man. I thought there were no such handsome boys except Baoyu, but I didn't think that this Lin Jinyu was better than Baoyu. It's rare and very promising. Although I don't understand those important events in the court, I have heard of the reputation of Sanyuan Jidi. Not to mention me, even the wives of various families are afraid that they have moved their minds, so A good son-in-law, who doesn't want it."

Shi Nai nodded and asked, "Then do you think Yun girl is a good match for him?"

Mrs. Bao Linghou was stunned for a moment, looked at Shi Nai in surprise for a while, and then said: "What do you think? Yun girl just offended the brothers and sisters of the Lin family, how could they fall in love with Yun girl, I didn't say that, Even if Yun girl is kind in every possible way, the Lin family will not agree to this marriage."

Shi Nai snorted: "Could it be that my historian is not worthy of his Lin family?"

"Don't blame me for speaking badly. Girl Yun is not our daughter after all. She lost her father and mother. Naturally, she is not a lucky person in the eyes of outsiders. Besides, Girl Yun and Lin Jinyu are really not compatible. Have you seen Lin Jinyu? If Seeing you, you won't say that anymore. Lin Ruhai is just such a son, and now he has been crowned, but there are no rumors of any rumors about marriage. You know that Lin Ruhai's vision is not so high, I'm afraid it is Ordinary families can't be seen by others. Besides, our family is only a famous family now, but there is no one in the court, and Lin Ruhai is an important minister in the court. I heard that the Jia family also had intentions before Marriage with the Lin family, although I don't know which one it is, but I went and dismissed it hastily, and now there is no movement." Mrs. Baolinghou didn't want to marry the Lin family, just because of Lin Jinyu's behavior today, she understood that the Lin family had no intention of getting close .

"Based on what you're saying, even the Lin family in the Rongguo Mansion looks down on them. Could it be that Lin Ruhai wants his son to marry the princess?" Shi Nai sneered. No matter how talented Lin Jinyu is, she's just staying in the Imperial Academy now. When he climbs up, he may be at a certain age, and not everyone is as lucky as Lin Ruhai.

Mrs. Baolinghou smiled: "It's not like that, if I were a concubine, I would be happy to have such a son-in-law. You haven't heard of the scenery of Lin Jinyu's coronation ceremony before, but it's me, Mrs. Shangshu said I couldn't help but click my tongue. I heard that the prince and concubine Ye were here in person that day. What is the identity of the prince? It is said that he is Lin Jinyu's senior brother, but it can be seen that Lin Ruhai's holy family is with him now! There is such a father, he I'm a promising man, so why can't I marry a princess!" After Madam Baolinghou finished speaking, she glanced at Shi Nai's sunken face, and continued: "If you want me to say, you'd rather marry Yun girl and the Lin family than marry her. It's good to have a close relationship, the old lady loves girl Yun too much, so I don't need to say, she and Baoyu are good friends, and I see that childhood sweethearts are a good match." Mrs. Baolinghou has her own selfishness, she He is also a person with a daughter, Lin Jinyu is so good, even if his daughter can't get married with him, and it's not her turn to Yun girl, doesn't the old lady like Yun girl!I always feel that I have scolded her harshly, so I might as well just marry them back to Jia's house, so as not to let myself bear this bad reputation for nothing.

"It's not that I haven't thought about what you said, but I asked Jia Zheng earlier, and I heard that the old lady had asked someone to settle the matter, saying that it was Baoyu's bad idea to discuss marriage too early." Shi Nai frowned.

Mrs. Baolinghou sneered, "It's just an excuse made by the old lady. If you really don't want Baoyu to discuss marriage too early, how could I have heard that the Rongguo Mansion wants to marry the Lin Mansion! This is a matter of the inner house. , I never told you that the aunt and niece of the second wife of the Jia family live in Rongguo Mansion now! I saw that the second wife wanted Baoyu to marry that Bao girl, but the old lady seemed to look down on her royal businessman. Because of his background, he found such an excuse, but he wanted to take care of him for a few more years."

"Since you said so, when you find a suitable time, go to Rongguo Mansion to find out what the old lady has to say." Shi Nai discussed with his wife in a warm voice.

Mrs. Baolinghou glanced at Shi Nai, and said angrily: "It's up to you to say, although Yun girl is not my own daughter, I have been sincere to her these years. This being an aunt is the happiest thing." Mrs. Baolinghou was calculating in her heart as she spoke, if the old lady didn't have this intention, she would have to make another plan. We also have to procrastinate, we can't delay the important affairs of the girls in the mansion just because Yun girl is alone.
