The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

With Lin Yan's habitual action, the Rongguo Mansion was bustling.

First, Jia Amnesty took advantage of the large number of people in Jia's mother's place to ask for a dowry for his daughter, and solemnly stated that his daughter married into the palace, regardless of whether he was a concubine or a concubine, that would be decent.Not to mention the dowry, the antique calligraphy, painting, spices and medicinal materials in the public treasury of the mansion have to be taken out, because there is nowhere to buy these if there is money.

Before Jia's mother slapped the table and got angry, Mrs. Wang was in a hurry.The reason is simple, she has been in charge of the house for a long time, so she naturally knows what is in the public treasury.There are a lot of good things accumulated in the Rongguo Mansion for several generations, but they can't stand the expenses of the big family now, can they?Besides, when Yuanchun was visiting relatives, the garden was built and arranged, and Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to find out from it. Now if I want to find some good things from the public treasury, there are, but not many. up.

But I can't say that, so I can only speak softly to Jia She: "We all know how much uncle loves our daughter, and we all want to let the second girl get out of the court in a good way. But now the government The situation in the house, the uncle is not in charge of the house, so it is not clear. Our house is all dependent on the income from the Zhuangzi. The expenses are too much, and the income is still so little. In recent years, some people have been living without money..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Jia She had already snatched away his words with red eyes: "Eat enough food? No matter how much you eat, you can't eat all the food in the public treasury?"

Mrs. Wang's face turned red and then green and red again. How could she have forgotten that this uncle is usually out of tune and even more immoral after drinking. If he really wants to make a fuss, he will ignore it.Although she is a sister-in-law, she won't give her any face.

At the moment, he suppressed his anger and said no more.She regretted in her heart that she spoke in a hurry, and made a fuss for no reason—even if she didn't speak, how could the old lady let the old man do it?

Jia Amnesty, on the other hand, let go of his madness with the help of alcohol, and said relentlessly: "Even if the mansion doesn't make much progress, it won't be possible to touch the things in the public treasury? I just don't believe it, I'm a first-class general When your daughter gets married, you can't even take things from your own house?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang's expression changed.Looking back at Mother Jia suddenly, she also frowned slightly, but she still didn't speak.

Mrs. Wang was startled, a bit of panic flashed in her quickly lowered eyes, but she was also a bit stern. Are these words of the old man drunk?

Seeing that Mother Jia still had no intention of speaking, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to speak herself: "Uncle also knows that our house spent a lot of money on my mother's visit last time. Most of the antiques in the storehouse that were attractive were placed in It’s in the garden. If this, this, this is taken out rashly...isn’t it a bit disrespectful?”

"That's right, it's just unfair!" Jia She shook off Mrs. Xing, who was grabbing his sleeve, "It stands to reason that I am the successor to the noble in our mansion. Everything in this mansion, whether it's a servant or a servant, is mine. You guys The second room girl came back to visit her relatives. I have nothing else to say. I will pay for the construction of the garden, and I will not mention the things after it is put in. Why is it not possible when it comes to my daughter? Your second wife must be fair and put your heart at ease That's good! Let's open the public treasury and I'll go and have a look. Since some of them have been put in the garden to make faces for the empresses in the palace, then there should be some left over for those who look down on you? I'll start from there. Pick a few pieces for my girl, will that work, Second Wife?"

Mrs. Wang's face was swollen purple, and her nails were firmly pinched into the palm of her hand, but she didn't feel any pain at all.In the many years since she entered the door, she has never been stepped on the ground with her face slapped like this.There was a few murmurs in the throat, and the body fell backwards.

Fortunately, behind her were the two maids Caiyun Caixia, who hurriedly helped her up.He called his wife again and again, and the room suddenly became chaotic.

Jiamu's face sank like water, and she said coldly: "My lord, have you had enough of your prestige?"

Jia Amnesty stiffened her neck, "I don't understand what the old lady said. Could it be that what I just said is unreasonable? The second wife only cares about her daughter's face, but where does she put the girl in my eldest room? I just think she is a Knowing Li, so I didn't ask the eldest wife and Lian's daughter-in-law to come to her, who knew that she was real and just messed around!"

Mother Jia was trembling with anger, pointed at Jia She and scolded: "You are so bold that you even want to involve the empress in the palace? If you have something to say, just talk about it, don't talk nonsense! Your daughter is out of the court, you are a fool!" It’s not bad for me? Just yelling here, telling the juniors how to think of you? Don’t feel ashamed!”

In normal times, no matter how courageous Jia Amnesty was, he would not dare to argue with Jia Mu.But what happened to Yingchun really made him feel aggrieved.So after listening to Jiamu's words, she nodded her head and said with a smirk: "Isn't it? I want to make some face for my daughter, but I can't do it! The old lady said, am I the one who is in charge? According to the law, how many things in this mansion are mine? To put it bluntly, if you really make it clear, at least half of the family's garden will belong to me! Now I just want to add a few things for the girl, The second wife is pushing three blocks and four two! You must know that I did not add her!"

Mrs. Xing saw Mrs. Wang limply slumped on the chair, her eyes closed tightly.I thought it was really dizzy, and I felt a little uneasy, after all, there is a daughter in the palace who is the empress.Who knew that when she was about to turn her gaze away, she saw Mrs. Wang's eyeballs move.

Mrs. Xing looked amused - dare to love, this is pretending!

Standing in the middle of Jiamu's room, Jia Amnesty, relying on the smell of alcohol, gesticulated and slapped the second wife a lot.

After hearing the news, Baoyu, Li Wan, Sister Feng, Yingchun Tanchun and Xichun all dared not come in outside.Yingchun heard that it was for her own dowry, her father made such a fuss, and felt ashamed, so she covered her face with a handkerchief and began to cry.Xichun went over to hold her hand and walked outside.Tanchun hesitated for a moment, but did not follow out after all.

Lin Yan didn't know how Jia Amnesty's uproar would end. The weather was getting colder, so he thought about going to see Lin Ruo when he was resting.But before the trip, he fell ill first.

To say that in the past few years, he really seldom got sick.It's just that at night, I was greedy for the sky to twinkle like cold stars, and I just watched it for a while, but when I woke up the next morning, my eyes were astringent, my nose was blocked, and my throat was burning and sore.He wanted to open his mouth to call someone in, but it was hoarse and ugly.

Bi Luo was the first to come in to serve her. Seeing Lin Yan's face turned red and her voice was not right, she was shocked.He hurriedly asked the little girl to bring in hot tea, and went over to help Lin Yan sit up.

After Lin Yan took a sip of tea, he felt his throat feel better, and waved his hand at Bi Luo, "I'm a little weak, you get up, I have to lie down for a while."

While tucking the quilt for him, Bi Luo babbled: "How many times have I told the uncle that the weather is bad and I should take care of myself. The uncle just didn't listen. It was so cold last night. I want to go out and look at the stars! Now that I’m done, I’ve invited the doctor to see the doctor and prescribed the medicine, and I’ll see if I’ll take it or not!”

Lin Yan stretched out an arm from under the quilt, and clenched his fist in front of his forehead, "Okay, Miss Biluo, it's good if you keep talking like this! You're more of a master than me."

"Master just said I'm long-winded, don't think about who I'm doing for!" Bi Luo kept talking while talking.A little girl came in with a washbasin and other things.Bi Luo reached out and soaked the cloth towel, twisted it, and wiped Lin Yan's face with her hand.

Looking at Lin Yan's face, Bi Luo worried, "Why don't you invite a doctor? Drinking medicine is a minor matter, don't make it serious."

Lin Yan shook his hand and told her to go out: "Go and cook a bowl of thick ginger soup, put a lot of ginger powder in it, I'll sweat after drinking it, and it's almost ready."

Bi Luo had no choice but to go out and make ginger soup herself, watching Lin Yan drink it and then lie down.After thinking about it, she asked the little girl to take out another apricot red satin quilt from the cabinet, and pressed it tightly on Lin Yan's body.Then he nodded and said to Lin Yan, "Sir, sleep for a while, I'll watch over there on the smoker cage."

Lin Yan knew her temper, so he only confessed, "Let Uncle Lin go and sue for me", and let her go.Besides, my head was indeed a little dizzy, I closed my eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

He fell into a drowsy sleep for half a day, and when he opened his eyes again, the sun was already high.Bi Luo was sitting in front of the couch, sewing Lin Yan's coat.Afraid that Lin Yan's throat would be uncomfortable, the incense in the incense cauldron had already been extinguished.On the high table at the head of the bed was another large plate of fresh fruits.

"What time is it?" Lin Yan asked hoarsely.

Bi Luo put down the needle and thread in her hand, got up and looked at him, and said, "It's time to pass."

Lin Yan forced himself to sit up, feeling empty in his heart.

Putting a thin satin padded jacket with a full lapel on for him, Bi Luo said, "Outside, Cui Ran made the porridge with her own hands, so I'll eat it anyway. Otherwise, I'll be even weaker."

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Yan to speak, she went out and called Cui Ran in, and two other girls carried a delicate kang table and put it on the couch.

Cuiran brought out a bowl of porridge from the food box, with finely chopped vegetable leaves added in it, looking white as jade and green as emerald, it is really appetizing.There are also four side dishes, all served in palm-sized plates.

Cui Ran smiled and said: "I'll just say, uncle is not particular anymore now. My aunt and brother Ruo are not in the house, so the airs that I usually put on will be gone. If my aunt knows about this, I catch cold from watching the stars at night. , will definitely come back and talk about it.”

Lin Yan took a sip of porridge and felt more at ease, then smiled and said, "Don't tell my aunt."

Bi Luo continued to do needlework, and said with a smile: "Wait for us to tell? Today, if the uncle asks for leave, I'm afraid my uncle will know. My uncle knows, can my aunt not know?"

Lin Yan finished his porridge with a bitter face, rinsed his mouth again, but couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he asked Bi Luo to read a book by himself.

Bi Luo saw that he had come down for half a day, drank so much ginger soup and still didn't sweat, and was afraid that he would suffer from a serious illness, so regardless of Lin Yan's words, she just asked the little girl to send a message outside, asking the doctor to come over.

Lin Yan had no choice but to be cut off by Wangwenwen. He reluctantly drank a bowl of ink-like medicinal soup, muttered a few words, and fell back to sleep.

Sure enough, the house was bustling when he woke up again.
