The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

But when Jiamu hit Mrs. Wang on the shoulder with a cane, not only Mrs. Wang, but everyone in the room was stunned.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm shocked.

Speaking of which, Mother Jia is an old lady from the Rong Mansion, if she gets angry and beats the two daughters-in-law openly and secretly, neither of them will say anything.It's just that Mrs. Wang has been the head wife of the Rong Mansion for many years. She also has the daughter of a noble concubine, a son born with a jade title, and a tall natal brother.Even Jia Mu would not easily embarrass her in front of others.

Now the room is full of masters and slaves, so they can go down with a cane.Everyone exclaimed, and Mrs. Wang even shook her body, almost falling to the ground.

Sister Feng has sharp eyes and quick hands, so she hurried over to help her.Tanchun was stunned and wanted to go forward, but Baochai took a step ahead of him, so he had to put down his raised hand, and stood silently between Yingchun and Xichun.

"Old lady, please calm down first. The hot weather has been tossing for half a day, so don't be in a hurry to get angry." Madam Xing really wanted to laugh. Being suppressed by the second room, seeing Mrs. Wang so shameless at this time, I was really overjoyed.He tried to persuade Jia Mu, but the corners of his mouth almost curled up, and he hurriedly blocked it with a handkerchief.

Mother Jia gave Mrs. Xing a hard look, only to see that Mrs. Xing lowered her head and stopped talking.

In fact, Mother Jia also regretted it.Just now in the palace, listening to Yuan Chun's story, without even thinking about it, he knew that Mrs. Wang's words were not true and provoked Yuan Chun.She felt sorry for her granddaughter's innocent suffering, hated Mrs. Wang for not knowing how serious she was to publicize her family's ugliness, and was afraid that the emperor would really annoy Yuan Chun because of it.We got together a few times, and when we saw Mrs. Wang coming over to ask anxiously, I didn't suppress my anger.

Looking around at the people in the house, Mother Jia said in a deep voice, "From Zhu'er's family, take your sisters back to the house first. You have nothing to do here."

Looking at Baoyu's face pale with fright, he said softly, "Let Baoyu go too, and go talk and play with your sisters. I'll call you when I come back."

Li Wan hurriedly got up and took Yingchun and the others out.Baoyu hesitated first, seeing Jia Mu nodding to him, she followed her with her head down.

Aunt Xue's face was a little stiff, and she forced a smile and said: "The old lady has something to say here, and Bao girl and I have been out for half a day, let's complain to the old lady first..."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Mother Jia waved her hand, "If my aunt has something to do, just go back first. We women don't have to be too restrained. Girl Feng, see your aunt for me."

Sister Feng agreed, and Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "The old lady's business is important here, and she is not an outsider. Don't be angry with the old lady." She said and glanced at Baochai.

Baochai let go of her hand lightly, followed Aunt Xue and gave Jia Mu a little blessing, and the mother and daughter left together.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were already red here, she was biting her lips tightly, her hands were tightly clenched to the handkerchief, and the veins on the back of her hands could be seen.

"Old lady..." Fortunately, Mrs. Wang still had some reason, and tears fell in pairs, "The old lady taught the daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law dared not say anything else. But, I beg the old lady to explain clearly, what is the daughter-in-law doing?" What a mistake. Otherwise, how can my daughter-in-law have the face to stand in this mansion..."

After all, I couldn't cry.

Mother Jia didn't speak, and cast a gloomy glance at the girls and women in the room.Sister Feng was clever, so she hurried over to help Jiamu, and said to the girl and mother-in-law: "Go out, and keep your mouth shut. If there is a word or a half of what happened today, one of them will count as one." , all fed medicine and sold!"

Only Jia Mu, Xing Wang, and Sister Feng were left in the room, so Jia Mu sat down, pointed at Mrs. Wang and said, "Let me ask you, how did you tell your mother when you went to the palace last time? Not to mention thinking about the difficulty in the empress's palace, but to instigate the empress to go to Wansui to sue! If it weren't for you, how could the empress get it? It's not grounding!"

Mrs. Wang shook her lips and shouted sadly: "Old lady, my mother was born to me. How could my daughter-in-law do things that are not good for my mother? Since entering the palace, my mother has missed Baoyu very much. Because I asked about him, my daughter-in-law had no choice but to I told you about Baoyu being beaten. My daughter-in-law said everything truthfully, how dare you instigate your mother to cause trouble? The old lady knows..."

"Bah!" Mother Jia spat, "You said you didn't instigate? What you said revealed that it was the Lin family who instigated your master to beat Baoyu! Your mother has loved Baoyu since she was a child. How can you bear it? You... Ignorant, stupid woman! Your every move in the palace, every word and deed is bound by rules. If it's not the emperor's grace, or you and me, how can you see your mother? If you don't say everything is for your mother's sake, don't let your mother hang up Heart, instead go to persuade the empress to pass the handle on to others! Today, the disaster of the empress is all caused by you!"

Mrs. Wang was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head, she just covered her face with a veil and cried, "Old lady..."

"Enough!" Mother Jia raised her hand to stop Mrs. Wang, "It doesn't matter whether you did it on purpose or not, just look at the troubles you have caused for your mother. How strict are the rules in the palace? How can you let me deal with it?" Your Majesty said something about foreign men? Just now I paid my respects to the Empress Dowager in the palace, and your Majesty has no intention of speaking for Yuan Yatou. The emperor saw me too. Your Majesty’s kindness, let me go and see. Your Majesty, these two things Day is thinner, but the spirit is still good. However, I don’t know when the ban will be lifted. Now I have to wait and see. Second wife, you have made a mistake recently, and you don’t have to come to serve every day, just read more in your own yard Take a few volumes of scriptures to calm down. As for family affairs, don’t worry too much. Please pay more attention, Feng girl."

Sister Feng looked at Mrs. Wang's face and responded in a low voice.Mrs. Xing opened her mouth to speak, but Mother Jia said again: "Go back. The eldest lady has taken care of her own yard. Don't let those slaves fill the house with gossiping!"

Mrs. Xing lost face afterward, and retreated out with embarrassment.Standing at the gate of Jiamu's yard and looking back, she saw Sister Feng coming out beside Mrs. Wang. She sneered and went back with her own people.

Here, Sister Feng looked at Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang's face was ashen, and there were still tears on her face. She wiped it with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Girl Feng, you go and wait for the eldest lady to go back first."

Sister Feng agreed, and ordered Ping'er and Mrs. Wang's maid to help Mrs. Wang go back.

Taking advantage of this incident, Jia's mother took the right of Mrs. Wang to be the head of the family.Although Mrs. Wang was not angry or dissatisfied, because of her few words, Yuan Chun, her biggest reliance, was grounded. Not to mention Jia Zheng, who in the entire Jia family would say that she is good?Knowing that now is not the time to be serious with Jia's mother, Sister Feng is her niece anyway, so Mrs. Wang has settled down.Every day, he only kneels in his own yard and recites scriptures, and does not care about family affairs.Even the purchase and arrangement of the provincial garden were simply handed over to Sister Feng.

Jia Mu excused Baoyu's recent hard work and moved Baoyu to the original yard again.Mrs. Wang secretly gritted her teeth with hatred, and didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.Although Jia Zheng wanted to stop it, but Jia's mother insisted on doing so, so she had to let it go.

Compared to Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng is very busy.They have to take care of family affairs, flatter the elders and take care of the younger ones, and keep their feet on the ground every day.She is very competitive and wants to do everything well, so she often falls asleep or eats, and when she thinks of something, she immediately orders Ping'er to send a message.In less than a month, he looked yellow and thin when he saw people.Jia Lianping persuaded her twice, but she just didn't listen, so the two had no choice but to let her go.

The weather in the capital became hotter day by day, and it became unbearably hot in mid-July.Brothers and sisters Lin Yan and Daiyu in Lin's residence took off their plain clothes to observe the filial piety for Lin Ruhai.

Lin Yan thought that in the next year, Daiyu would be 15 years old, which would be the most important age for a girl.At this time, most of the girls made their marriage arrangements early, and there were many people who got married after a while.Like Daiyu, it's actually a little late because of the need to keep filial piety.

There are no elders in the inner house in Lin's residence, and Daiyu has no chance to show her face among the upper-class women in the capital.Lin Yan didn't think about Jia's house.There are only three girls of the right age in their own mansion, not counting Xue Baochai who is still there.But I have been outside for so long, and I have never heard of anyone going to Rongfu to propose marriage.The second girl Yingchun is about the same age as Baochai?Do the math, this age is almost eighteen, old girl...

It's not just Daiyu and Jili. In the future, Daiyu will really be optimistic about others, and the days of Xiaoding, Dading, and makeup will all be presided over by female elders.Therefore, Lin Yan had an idea long ago, the Rongguo Mansion could not and could not be counted on, who knows what kind of moths they will have when the time comes?It's better to simply recognize a god-in-law with a good reputation for Daiyu.

According to Lin Yan's thoughts, he originally wanted to ask Zhao Zi, the head of Xishan Academy.Zhao Zi was a good friend of Lin Ruhai's in the same year, and his wife also came from the Xiang family.Zhao Zi is an upright person, and he does not set foot in the imperial court. He has always had a good reputation in Beijing, especially among scholars.It would be good for Yu Daiyu if she recognized Mrs. Zhao as her adoptive mother.Even if Lin Ruhai wanted to come to Zhao Zi, he would not refuse.

He had a good plan, but before he had time to go to Zhao Zi, he received an imperial edict to enter the palace to pay his respects.

The imperial decree specified that Lin Yan should bring Daiyu into the palace, and go to Daming Palace and Shouan Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.Not to mention Daiyu, even Lin Yan was a little confused.

In fact, this matter has to start with the virtuous concubine Yuan Chun.

Since the Dragon Boat Festival was banned, perhaps the emperor really forgot that for more than a month, he did not issue a decree to lift the ban on Fengzao Palace.The queen is virtuous, so naturally the emperor's wishes come first in everything.As for the other concubines, how could they remind the emperor if they were happy to have one less contending for favor?

Yuan Chun was imprisoned in Fengzao Palace, although there would be no shortage of expenses, but he was very anxious.Those who can see the emperor every day may not be favored. If they are kept locked up all the time, they may really be forgotten by the emperor.Therefore, Mrs. Wang secretly sent out the logistics such as bank notes and jewelry that she had given her in private.

Dai Quan, the confidant eunuch next to the Supreme Emperor, was the one who took the most things.

Dai Quan has been in the palace for many years, and he will not push back Yuan Chunsai's benefits, but he will not be so stupid as to speak for her in a daze.

Speaking of which, Yuan Chun was also considered lucky.The Supreme Emperor has nothing to do now, and when he was chatting with the Empress Dowager, he brought up the past when he was young.Because of the mention of Jia Daishan's contribution to saving the car back then, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.The Queen Mother inadvertently brought up the matter of Yuanchun, and the Supreme Emperor immediately felt that he had something to do.

Send the emperor to ask about the reasons for the ban.The emperor had no choice but to say one by one.When the Supreme Emperor heard that Lin Ruhai's son was furious with the old people in his grandfather's house, he slapped the table and was furious.

Lin Yan could be regarded as a confidant secretly used by the current emperor, and since he was under his command, he often inquired about news and planned money for him.Naturally, the emperor couldn't let him suffer, it was just about Daiyu's reputation, and the emperor didn't know much about it, so it was even more vague when he said it.Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to slap the table again, the Empress Dowager said: "I often hear the emperor mention Lin Ruhai, saying that he is a rare courtier. Besides, he is from a family, and I have been studying for generations. How could there be such an unfilial and disrespectful descendant? Don't have any secrets." stop?"

The emperor hurriedly came down the slope, "Why don't you invite Lin Yan and the young lady of the Lin family to come into the palace and ask them, firstly, it means not wronging others, and secondly, if there is really something that Concubine Xiande said, it will also appear that the father is wise. "

Just like this, the two brothers and sisters were ordered to enter the palace.

It was the hottest season of the year, and the two brothers and sisters hurriedly changed their clothes and washed themselves up. It was still Daiyu who came to the palace in a very low-key way with Lin Yan riding a horse.

At that time, the Empress Dowager was also in the Daming Palace of the Supreme Emperor, and another emperor sat at the lower head.The two brothers and sisters entered the main hall of Daming Palace with the eunuch delivering the decree, and both knelt down and kowtowed.

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, and the Emperor called out winkingly.Lin Yanxu helped Daiyu a little, and the two stood up.

Lin Yan had met the emperor many times, and he himself had an unusual experience. Although the Supreme Emperor was coercive, he was not stage frightened.

Daiyu had been taught by two nuns in the palace before, and she was pointed out again when she came here. Although she was a little apprehensive, she behaved well.

The three highest-ranking people in the palace sat at the head, and seeing that the siblings were well-mannered and well-behaved, they all nodded secretly.

The Empress Dowager was getting old, and she liked young children talking the most, so she beckoned Daiyu to come forward and speak.

Daiyu lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and stepped forward.What she is wearing today is a hazy purple pair of plackets and a light green pleated skirt.The skirt and jacket are all embroidered with folded branches of plum blossoms, and they are made of extremely light and ironed material. When they are moving, their plain clothes and sleeves are exposed to the wind, just like spring willows swaying.

When she came to the Empress Dowager, she knelt down deeply, and the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Raise your head and let the Ai family have a look."

Daiyu raised her head slightly, but she saw her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and the mist was faint; her eyes were like autumn water, with clear waves.The queen mother couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "Yo, what a neat baby!"

The Empress Dowager pulled Daiyu here, smiled at the Supreme Emperor: "Aijia doesn't care what you guys say, I like this child very much. I'm going to take him inside to talk."

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand to show that he knew, and Daiyu bowed her head again to salute the Supreme Emperor, and followed the Queen Mother inside.

Here the Supreme Emperor lowered his face and stared at Lin Yan coldly. Before he could ask any questions, the little eunuch outside ran in and announced, "Prince Zhongshun and Marquis Anle are asking to see you outside the palace."

The emperor coughed lightly, feeling amused in his heart—the brothers and sisters of the Lin family, can they fly talismans to summon generals?
