The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

They are all used to come and go among the female relatives. Why doesn't Mrs. Zhen understand Mrs. Jia Muwang's demeanor?

She also saw Baoyu in front of her, and her face was quite similar to her own son's.I heard that she has a gentle temperament and a delicate mind, and she is the most considerate of sisters.If his own son is like this, then Mrs. Zhen thinks it is good.But if she were to find a son-in-law for her daughter, she would not be satisfied with Baoyu's temper.

In her opinion, a man, of course, must be able to support himself first.No matter how good you are in the interior, it's useless if you can't stand up to the door.Although her youngest son, Baoyu, also has the same temperament, he has an older brother, and the family business was originally not counted on.Jia Baoyu is different, even if he has a sister who is a noble concubine, but his father is not a noble, and his official rank is not high, it will not be of much benefit to Jia Baoyu.Besides, this time when she brought her daughter to Beijing, the master of her family still has some plans, and the Rongguo Mansion's intentions cannot be complied with.

Therefore, Jia Mu took Zhen Yao's hand, smiled and said to her: "I like this child just by looking at it. The third girl in your house married to Beijing last year. We are also very good and we have frequent contacts. I Just say that the child is already a rare outstanding child, and now seeing this again, I don't know what to say."

Mrs. Zhen only had a very smile on her face, and said politely: "The old lady is too modest. I saw a few girls in the house, and they are all very good. It's a pity that I don't have many sons. If I have more, I have to have more." Ask the old lady to leave!"

As soon as the words fell, Tan Chun Xichun in the room couldn't help but blush.Mrs. Zhen's gaze shifted, but she landed on Baochai who was sitting on Tanchun's left.When Xue's family lived in Jinling, they also had contacts with Zhen's family. Mrs. Zhen and Aunt Xue were no strangers.Then she beckoned Baochai to come forward, looked her up and down, then turned her head and smiled at Aunt Xue, "We haven't seen you since you went to Beijing. After several years, Miss Xue has become more and more picky." .”

Aunt Xue looked pleasantly surprised, leaned over slightly and smiled and replied, "Madam, you can't praise her like that. Children are so thin-skinned."

Saying so, my heart is boiling.She is not a blind fool, why can't she see that Mrs. Jia Muwang is too hot for Zhen Yao?Not only her, I'm afraid all the ladies and girls in the room can see it.Aunt Xue looked coldly at her older sister greeting Mrs. Zhen with a smile on her face, and felt chills in her heart—this is her good older sister.It's like this when you are a child. Everything sounds good on the lips, but when it comes to the present, you still put yourself first.The two old sisters have been talking about the marriage of the second treasure for several years, and the elder sister assured herself that it was all right, and she also said that it would be more honorable to wait for the empress in the palace to see the opportunity to give the marriage, what do you say now?Fortunately, I listened to my children and didn't intend to hang myself here!

I made up my mind, and I have to tell my son to act quickly later.Even if he couldn't enter the palace, he would have to find another wealthy family.

Besides, Jia Mu, hearing the words, let go of Zhen Yao's hand immediately, and the smile on her face did not diminish, and she said to everyone: "We are talking here, and the girls are blushing. Why don't you tell them to go to the second girl?" There, it would be good to talk more with the second girl."

As he spoke, he ordered Tanchun: "I'm so lucky to lead you sisters over there, and I'll just leave it to you."

At that time, Tanchun was wearing a pair of light red double-breasted long trousers, with a few delicate roses embroidered on it, and a pink skirt covered with gold on the bottom. Share hearty air.Kuai got up to bless her, and said with a smile: "Old lady, please don't worry."

After all, several girls went out together.Mother Jia looked at Zhen Yao's back faintly walking ahead of the crowd, and felt a little regretful in her heart.

The next day, Dong'an Prince Chuichuidada picked up Yingchun.Rongguo Mansion is considered to have finished a major event, and others are relieved, but Mrs. Wang can't do it.

The concubine's son of Dong'an's mansion got married, and he himself had some flaws. He would not pose a threat to the concubine's concubine, and it was the time to show his virtuousness. Naturally, Princess Dong'an would not miss it.In this way, the dowry gift for Jia's family is very rich, although it cannot be compared with what Yunning sent to Lin's family back then, it is also much richer than that of ordinary sons-in-law.

Jia She and his wife wanted to be angry with Mrs. Wang, and they didn't need to spend anything themselves, so they generously picked a lot of things from the Rong Mansion's public treasury.Naturally, some of these were stuffed into Yingchun's dowry, while others were kept by Jia She and his wife.

In any case, Yingchun was out of the court with dignity.

Whenever Mrs. Wang thinks of the things taken away by Mrs. Jia Shexing and Mrs. Xing, she feels very distressed.Putting this aside for now, Baoyu, her favorite, has not yet been settled!I heard that the girl from the Lin family had conceived within a few months of her marriage to the Hou's Mansion, and Mrs. Wang was even more troubled. Seeing the girl's frail appearance, she thought she would be as disrespectful as her mother. Good birth, who would have thought that the good news could be delivered so quickly?

She made up her mind and wanted to make an appointment for Baoyu first. It seems that the girl from Zhen's family who came that day was really outstanding, but Mrs. Zhen didn't know what to do.If this serious marriage is not settled, what can be said about Baochai?

Unexpectedly, after a few days, her troubles were reduced by half.Early in the morning, after returning from Jiamu's place, Li Wan came to pay his respects with two sisters, Tanchun and Xichun.

Mrs. Wang took a couple of sips of Pu'er tea with a cup in her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then asked Li Wan's sisters-in-law to sit down, and asked, "Where is Baoyu? Is it at the old lady's place?"

Li Wan just sat down and hurriedly got up again: "Just now the master sent someone in to pass him out. The old lady was afraid that the master would wait in a hurry, so she asked Brother Bao to go out directly, so she didn't come to answer the wife."

Mrs. Wang rested her right arm on the kang table, twirled the Buddha beads with her left hand, and sighed: "I don't know what I remembered, and I asked him to go out to sort out. You used to be in the garden together. How is Baoyu's homework recently?"

Li Wan moved his eyelids, but said nothing.Mrs. Wang's question is so careless, a widowed sister-in-law and two Yunying unmarried girls, what do outsiders think of these words?

Tanchun lowered his head and was pondering his words, when a girl outside passed the message: "My concubine is here."

Li Wan stood up three times, and sure enough, Aunt Xue came in holding the girl Tongxi's hand, a brand-new willow-yellow base, autumn-scented trim, a round-necked gown with colorful peonies, and a yellow, yellow, flower-embroidered gown underneath. The horse face skirt, the face is full of joy.Entering the door and seeing Li Wan waiting there, he was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister, it's lively here."

Aunt Xue is a widow, and most of the clothes she wears are lotus green, silver and white, and she rarely wears them like this.Seeing the smile on her face, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, she got up and gave up her seat with a smile.

Both the old sisters took their seats, and Mrs. Wang smiled and asked, "Why are you here so early when you're free today? Where's Pan'er?"

"Don't mention that evil." Aunt Xue turned her eyes and looked at Li Wan.After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "I have something to tell my sister."

Mrs. Wang looked at her, wondering what was going on.

"Sister knows, Bao girl is not young now..."

After hearing one sentence, Mrs. Wang's heart skipped a beat, and sure enough, Aunt Xue continued: "I often live in the inner courtyard, and I don't know much about it. What is the name of the previous one, uh, from Prince Zhong's mansion?" The housekeeper came over and said that she had taken a fancy to Bao girl and wanted to hire her to be a concubine..."

Speaking of this, although there was a bit of dissatisfaction on his face, the corners of his mouth finally raised.

Mrs. Wang didn't know what to hear, but Li Wan and the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay. After the "golden and jade love" came from Xue's family, it has been passed down to this time. Why is it that Baochai is about to marry someone else all of a sudden?Or go to a palace to be a concubine?

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and gradually clenched her hands hidden under the wide sleeves with exquisite embroidered patterns—although she had long judged that Baochai could not be Baoyu's wife, she could not tolerate the Xue family's other intentions.There was a buzzing in my head, I saw my sister sitting there talking, opening and closing her raised mouth, she said something, but she didn't hear clearly at all.

Aunt Xue came here today to tell Mrs. Wang to take Baochai out of the garden, but she also wanted to see her reaction when she heard this.Seeing her sister's stupefied expression, Aunt Xue felt that she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up with a smile and said, "I'll tell my sister today, and I'll take Bao girl back. Our house in Beijing is also empty. In a few years, I will move back tomorrow. At Hengwuyuan and Lixiangyuan, my sister will send someone to watch it. It’s getting late, so I have to go and tell Bao girl this letter first. Alas... she is mine. A top-notch person, if she is an ordinary person, even if I risk my life, I will definitely not ask her to have sex with others. But this prince, I heard that he is the elder brother of the Long Live Lord, I..."

One line said and one line sighed, and walked away.

Mrs. Wang sat there, her eyes fixed on the carved flowers on the blue bricks on the ground, and after a while she waved her hand and told Li Wan and others to go out.

The three of them couldn't wait for the sound, so they hurriedly saluted and retreated. When they reached the gate of the courtyard, they heard the sound of porcelain breaking inside.

No matter what Mrs. Wang thinks, but a few days later, Prince Zhong's mansion carried Baochai inside in a sedan chair.

With a "snap", plain white fingers picked up a chess piece and landed on the chessboard. He was dressed in water-soluble cloud white with wide sleeves and silver-trimmed casual clothes, sitting opposite Situ Jun, with a light and breezy cloud hanging on his jade-like face. Smiling, from Lin Yan's point of view, is gentle like a spring breeze, handsome and unparalleled in the world.Just looking at the chessboard, the black and white chess pieces are fighting fiercely together. Although they are not real gold and iron horses, they still make the audience feel bloody.

Situ Lan on the side touched Lin Yan's arm, Lin Yan lowered his head, saw that he was handing the peeled fruit to him, and shook his head.

Situ Lan stubbornly held up the fruit in her hand, Tao Hua's eyes were full of flattery.Lin Yan was helpless, reached out to take it, ate a piece himself, and stuffed another piece into Situ Lan's mouth.

Shui Rong cast a sideways glance at the two of them, and said with a light smile, "You two are enough, why don't you make such a gesture?"

"Aren't your eyes hot?" Situ Lan said with a smile, "Isn't there a plate beside you?"

Shui Rongkan looks at the height of the sandalwood girdle on the ground, and the emerald plate on it is full of apples, vermilion oranges, etc.Glancing at Situ Jun again, he suddenly opened his lips and smiled, reached out and took a red orange, wrapped it in a snow-white cloth towel, and slowly peeled the orange in his hand.

Situ Jun suddenly felt that the bones in his body were a little lighter, and he threw down the chess pieces in his hand. He sat there quietly and watched Shui Rong's slender fingers nimbly turning the orange. The faint fruity fragrance wafted out. .”

Situ Jun Guo'an opened the dragon's mouth in a good manner, Shui Rong stuffed the oranges in whole, and said with a smile: "Is there no reward from the emperor for getting a concubine from the Zhongzhong Mansion before?"

"What kind of concubine is it?" Situ Lan hurriedly said, "Whoever can be called a concubine is carried away by a small sedan chair with four people? There is not even a wine in the clan, so quietly He entered the mansion without a sound, at best he is considered a concubine."

Lin Yan lowered his eyelids and sighed, "Zhen Yingjia's entry into the capital made it possible for the Xue family to enter the palace."

Prince Loyalty's birth mother's surname is Zhen, she is from a side branch of the Zhen family in Jinling, and she and Zhen Yingjia are cousins.The Zhen family has been entrenched in Jinling for generations, and has a wide network of contacts in the court. Situ Jun never believed that they had no relationship with Zhongjing Zhongzhong.

"It's a bit late." Shui Rong said with a faint smile, "If the emperor had not ascended the throne, this move would be considered a good move. Now I can only say that it was Zhong Zhong who lost his head and accepted the girl from the Xue family."

He and Zhong Jing Zhong have always been at odds, and they can't help being mean when they speak.

Situ Jun patted his hand and said with a sneer, "It's exactly what I want."

Holding the jade cup in his hand, Lin Yan took a sip of tea, knowing in his heart that the emperor wished that their families were tied together.In this way, it will be a pleasure to clean up in the future.He didn't know what Zhen Yingjia was thinking. He reported Jinling's severe waterlogging a few years ago. How much money did the imperial court allocate to help the disaster?It's only been a new year, even if you go to Beijing to report on your work, you should pack lightly and simply, just come by yourself.Fortunately, he went to Beijing with his wife and daughter, maidservants and servants, and sat in two big boats, all the way in a very unassuming manner.

He had just entered Beijing, and before seeing His Majesty, his wife began to walk around with the female relatives of various prefectures, and brought a daughter with her.If you want to take this opportunity to find someone for your daughter from Beijing, then...

Situ Lan glanced at her elder brother, smiled gloatingly, and said, "Brother Huang, I heard that the girl from the Zhen family was left in the palace by the noble concubine to relieve her boredom? You should be more careful."

Situ Jun glared at him angrily, did he think he didn't have enough headaches?Looking at Shui Rong again, there was indeed some unsightly appearance on his face.
