The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

Rongguo Mansion is a bit chaotic.

Since the decree Yizhi came down, Jiamu fell ill first.Her proud granddaughter, the hope of the whole family, was sent to a place not much better than the Leng Palace, and the previous honor and glory naturally dimmed.If the emperor angered her just because of the Wang family, it's okay to say that in the future, if the emperor misses the old love, he might be able to get up again.But in the meantime, Yuan Chun is bound to suffer a lot.

Jia Zheng was also ill.For most of his life, the best thing he could do was save face.Originally he had lived to this age, although he still had a son who didn't let him worry about it, but the daughter was a noble concubine in the palace, and the concubines and grandsons below looked at her well-behaved, and she was willing to study. At that time, he didn't expect that the seemingly dull and honest wife gave him such a big stumble.Not only did they lose all appearance inside and out, but they also gave up Rongxitang, which had lived there for more than 20 or [-] years.What's more, that's not counting. The principal and bank that Mrs. Wang used to lend money, some in the government treasury, and some of her own private house, were all confiscated by the Ministry of Punishment.All of a sudden, he lost both face and money.

As for Mrs. Wang, Mother Jia ordered someone to detain her in the Buddhist hall where she often chanted sutras. The small Buddhist hall is in Mrs. Wang's yard next to Rongxi Hall.It's just that now that the imperial decree has been issued, and the Rongxi Hall has returned to the big room, it is natural that Jia She and his wife live in this courtyard. There is absolutely no reason for Mrs. Wang, the little aunt, to be locked up in the uncle's courtyard.

Jia Amnesty ran to discuss with Jiamu, who was leaning on an autumn-colored long pillow, although she was still wearing a ginger-yellow gown with a camel-colored wide border and gold thread embroidered with twined lotus flowers, with a forehead tied on her head. , but looking on his face, the already slack skin was even more sagging, and his expression was extremely tired.

Listening to Jia Amnesty's words, Jia's mother remained silent for a while.For so many years, she has favored the younger son, and really doesn't like the eldest son who is lustful and mischievous. Of course, some of the eldest sons have been brought to the old lady to raise them since birth, and more , but it was out of his own consideration of controlling Jia's mansion.

The Dafang has already taken over the title, and the entire Rongguo Mansion will belong to the Dafang in the future.Jia Amnesty's deceased wife, Mrs. Zhang, also came from everyone.As soon as she entered the door, she was in charge of the family affairs for the first time, and she showed the posture of the mistress of the Rongguo Mansion.Of course, Mrs. Zhang is not disrespectful to herself, it's just a family matter, but she often makes her own decisions and doesn't ask her own mother-in-law.At that time, I knew that if I let Da Fang continue, I, the "Old Madam", would be worthy of the name.Fortunately, Zhang's life was short-lived. Later, he made the decision by himself and filled in the house for Jia She continued to marry Xing, who came from a small family, and raised his second wife by this.Let the second room live in Rongxitang, and the first room is emptied to let the Wang family be the head of the house. These few people dare not say it to their faces, and they know it. They are afraid that they are all laughing at them.It's just that, for the sake of this one word, they don't care about so many things.

Besides, there are no masters in the big house, neither Jia She nor Jia Lian Yingchun are not as good as the second house.From this point of view, it can be regarded as finding a reasonable step for himself.

Over the past few years, Mrs. Wang's arrogance has gradually increased, and she often plays tricks, which are harmless.But who would have thought that this Wang family would be so stupid!A good situation was ruined by her stupid greed!The Empress Dowager personally decreed that Rongxi Hall and the Second Room must no longer live in it...

"Alas..." Mother Jia let out a long sigh, and slowly sat up straight.The mandarin duck next to her quickly reached out to help her, and said softly: "Old lady, wait a little longer."

"There's nothing you can do. You wait a little longer and ask someone to clean up the yard behind my place, and let your brother move in some day. As for the second wife..." Jia Mu's eyes flickered, "Lian'er The husband and wife are not here, so the courtyard is also idle. It would be wrong if the second wife went to another place. Coincidentally, Lian'er's place is opposite to the back yard, separated by a small passage, so it is better to use it as a Buddhist hall , let the second wife move in and reflect on herself."

Jia Amnesty's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he closed his eyes, his son's yard is gone? "Where are the things of Lian'er and his wife moved?"

"Isn't your previous yard vacant? It's more spacious than the back one anyway. Feng girl is about to give birth soon. Regardless of gender, it won't feel crowded in the future. What do you think?"

What else do you call yourself?All in all, the old lady would not ask the second room to live in the place next to the stables.The left and right have already occupied the Rongxi Hall, so let's take care of the rest first.

Thinking of this, Jia She said with a smile: "My son can save it. It's getting hotter these days, but it's better to get it done earlier. Besides, the old lady doesn't have a lot of strength. From my point of view, it's better to invite her." The imperial doctor came to take a look?"

These words came from the bottom of my heart, and Jia Amnesty couldn't help it.The emperor issued the imperial decree with great fanfare, which is tantamount to telling the people in the world that he killed his relatives righteously, and brought out his brother and daughter-in-law.This other person said that he was sensible and righteous, but he was not sure why he looked down on him—he didn't even care about the flesh and blood of his family, so it was not a good thing!At this festival, the old lady can't be so sick.Otherwise, the biography in Beijing is even better!

Jia Mu said coldly: "No need, I have nothing here. There is no need to drink the bitter medicine soup for me. As long as I am happy, it will be fine."

In front of several girls, Jia Amnesty looked a little embarrassed, and said: "In this case, the old lady will take care of her." After finishing speaking, she flicked her sleeves and went out.

Jiamu looked at the shaking bead curtain and sneered.Yuanyang winked at Glass, who was serving together in the room, and Glass understood, hurried over to pour tea from the tea tray and handed it to Yuanyang.

Yuanyang bent down and persuaded softly: "Old lady, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Jia Mu took it over, thought for a while with her eyes downcast, and asked, "What happened to Baoyu?"

"It's okay, Musk Moon and the others are watching." Yuanyang said.

"Go and have a look at the second master, and tell Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou, to take care of the things and move behind me in two days. Then tell the second master to relax, I'm here."

Yuanyang agreed, and motioned for the glass to take care of her, and then she lifted the curtain and came out.As soon as he went out, he saw Jia She hadn't left yet, standing at the bottom of the veranda fighting against the little sparrow in the big gilt cage.Seeing her coming out, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "The mandarin duck is not waiting by the old lady's side, the sun is scorching, where are we going?"

The lustful gaze made Yuanyang feel chills, and after blissful body, she said in a low voice: "Go back to the Eldest Master, the old lady asked me to tell the Second Master that I will move to the yard here in two days. "

After finishing speaking, he stood there with his head bowed, revealing a section of white and greasy neck, set off by a head of black and greasy black hair, it was very beautiful.

Jia She looked at it greedily for a while, and then teased with a little bit of a smile: "Then mandarin ducks, go quickly, don't stand here and get sunburnt, you are the proud person in front of the old lady, if you show good or bad things in the sun, the old lady will inevitably Even more uncomfortable."

Yuanyang took another blessing in a hurry and left in a hurry, only to feel that Jia She's eyes behind her were glued to her body, which made her feel sick for no reason.

Jia Amnesty saw her hastily turned around the big goose-winged screen wall and ran away, then turned her head to look at Jia Mu's room, snorted coldly, and walked out.

Sometimes this person is quite neat in doing things. For example, Mrs. Xing has been living in a corner of the Rongguo Mansion since she entered the door. Now that she finally managed to be seated in the Rongxi Hall, she naturally didn't want to be late for a minute and a half.Hearing what Jia Amnesty said about Jiamu's intentions, he didn't say much, and immediately took the girl and mother-in-law to the courtyard behind Jiamu's main house, but it took half a day to get it all done, and the next day he directed someone to take care of the second bedroom. moved.

In the second room, others don't know what to do, only Aunt Zhao is very happy.The reason is simple, she has lived under Mrs. Wang's hands for most of her life, and she is often deducted for her housing, food and clothing.Even if it's a little girl's monthly money, half of it will be withheld.This time Mrs. Wang fell down, and Aunt Zhao didn't think about anything else, just hearing that Mrs. Wang was locked up in the Buddhist hall to reflect on herself, she laughed so hard that her flowers trembled.This time I moved, and I and Aunt Zhou are both pretty good, sharing the same yard as the second master, but Mrs. Wang was arranged by the old lady to another place.Since this is introspection, it is natural not to go out.Whenever Aunt Zhao thinks of this, her heart is full of joy.

Mother Jia looked at her youngest son with a thin and haggard face after only two days, and her heart ached. Thinking about Baoyu Tanchun, who hadn't come out in the Grand View Garden for a few days, she also felt that she couldn't just hang out like this. She gritted her teeth and ordered the mandarin ducks: "Go and tell the old man, just say that I am not well, and let him send someone to take the post and ask someone to come to the Tai Hospital for a pulse diagnosis."

The matter of Rongguo Mansion has spread throughout the capital.The elder of the Jia family has lived in seclusion in the corner of Rongfu for more than twenty years. Once he made trouble, he personally went to the court to ask for the crime. .Don't talk about those ordinary people in Beijing who have nothing to do, even when officials and nobles get together, they will inevitably say a few words.What's more, those good-natured people always pay attention to the movement of Rongfu, hoping to have more fresh topics.

Therefore, most of the people in the entire capital know about the appointment of the imperial physician.

Lin Yan heard that at the time of this letter, he was playing chess with Situ Lan in the mansion after the value was lost.The sunspot tucked between the two fingers fell gently, and then said: "Oh, the old lady is also old, she has to worry about many things. Wouldn't it be good for An Rong to be raised in the back house with honor? Is it hot in this hot day? Sickness, Chang Le'er."

Chang Le'er, who stood by and waited on her, agreed, and then listened to Lin Yan's instructions: "Go to the Hou's mansion and see my aunt."

Chang Le'er understood, and went out of the pavilion without mentioning it.

Here, Situ Lan smiled and said: "It's too bad. It's clear that the people behind you spoiled her. Why can't you just sigh like this now? At least you should express it."

Lin Yan raised his eyelids and glanced at him. The afterglow of the setting sun in the western sky was reflected in his eyes. The eyes that were originally as clear as autumn water and as bright as morning stars were full of brilliance, which was indescribably touching.

"You're right. However, if I send this thing over, I'm afraid the old lady will be even more upset."

Situ Lan responded with a move, looked at the chessboard, and said with a smile, "The winner has been decided."

Lin Yan leaned back with a smile in his eyes.He originally said what he said to Jia She, he just wanted to use him to make a fuss and make Mrs. Wang lose face in the Rong Mansion first.Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty would be wrong, and a memorial was presented to the emperor.But that's okay, it's a wrong attack, now that Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun are both convicted because of Jia's pardon, it's inevitable that the Wang family and Xue family will have suspicions against the Jia family.In the past, the four major families formed an alliance based on their own interests. Although this relationship is still there after more than a hundred years, it has become nothing.

Lin Yan didn't want to speculate on what the emperor's next move would be, but according to his opinion, the emperor probably won't be able to wait long.The first one to be stabbed is probably the Zhen family in Jinling.

A little girl came over and replied, "Master, the food and drinks are ready for the rest of the day. Sister Bi Luo asked if it will be served right now, or wait."

"Put it on." Lin Yan said lazily, "Just put it in this pavilion, it will be cool with the evening breeze."

The little girl went to take orders, not long after Biluo brought people over to clean up the stone table in the pavilion, put some vegetables and fruits on it, and there was a black silver self-pourer.

Situ Lan asked with a smile, "Is this new wine?"

"Where do you get so much new wine for you to drink? The best bamboo leaf green wine has been harvested for a long time." Situ Lan likes good wine, and Lin Yan's wine making here is still his annual source of income.This dynasty followed the wine policy of the previous dynasty, even private brewing at home had to go to a place designated by the government, and if it was a wine merchant, a special order from the government was required to open the wine shop.Although it is not as lucrative as the salt merchants here, it is still attractive enough.

Chang Le'er came back very quickly, and stood beside the stone table and bowed back: "The butler Zhao of the Hou's Mansion said that because my uncle has been living in the camp outside the city for the past few days, my aunt has only come back today after entering the palace. It is already Knowing about the Rong Mansion, I sent someone to deliver supplements and medicines. My aunt said that the weather is hot, so please take care of yourself and don't be greedy for the cold. If you want to send something to the academy Go, first send someone to tell my aunt, there is also something to take over there."

Lin Yan finished listening with a smile, waved Chang Le'er to go down, and then leisurely picked up a white jade cup carved with cloud patterns, the light blue wine swayed slightly in the cup, poked lightly, and the mellow and clear wine flowed smoothly Throat all the way down.He was not a good drinker, but now he had only half a glass of wine in his stomach, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.

Outside the pavilion, a round of red sun fell restlessly in the sky, still struggling to refuse to fall, and reflected the clouds on the western half of the sky into red, gorgeous and gorgeous.After the afterglow fell into the pavilion, Lin Yan's handsome face shone like a beautiful jade, and the pearl flowed like clouds, which was actually a bit more gorgeous and charming than before.

There was a smile on Situ Lan's lips, and he just watched him sipping there with a wine glass, with an unconcealable love on his face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Yan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, squinted at him, and asked with raised eyebrows.

"It's nothing." Situ Lan leaned forward and put a piece of cake on the plate in front of Lin Yan. "Eat something before drinking, or you may hurt yourself."

"It's not that you don't know, I don't drink alcohol on weekdays. It's just that you are here and only drink a glass or two. How could it hurt your body?" Lin Yan didn't think so.

Situ Lan shook his head and smiled without saying a word, Zifei was like this, he was very careful with the people around him, and when he was on him, he became more self-willed.

The two of them are enjoying the evening photos, drinking wine against the wind, feeling quite at ease.

Situ Jun in the palace is not so lucky.Today, it was rare for him to have dinner with the Supreme Emperor. During the dinner, the Supreme Emperor seemed to casually talk about King Zhongjing's daughter, Princess Le'an.

Situ Jun didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Supreme Emperor's gourd, so he could only interject: "What about that girl Le An?"

The Supreme Emperor signaled Dai Quan to remove the remnant seat, served new tea, took a sip slowly, and then sighed: "I'm really old. I remember when Le An came to the palace to pay his respects. Ji’s little girl is almost seventeen now. It’s also because I neglected it, I should have pointed out her marriage a long time ago, but I haven’t seen her in the past two years, so I forgot.”

Le Ann?A figure of a delicate and willful girl appeared in Situ Jun's mind.Le An is the eldest daughter of King Zhongjing, but when she was three or four years old, Princess Zhongjing passed away due to dystocia, leaving only a frail little son.There are many loyal and respectful princes and daughters, but they love the two children born of the original concubine the most. He asked his daughter to be a princess early on, and his son also asked him to be a prince.

However, Princess Le'an's temperament is not very good. After all, she is the daughter of the royal family and has the support of the prince and father. The second princess really dare not restrain her very much.

Situ Jun didn't have a good opinion of this niece, but since the Supreme Emperor said this, he naturally couldn't ignore it, and he blamed himself a little at the moment, "It's also because I, the emperor's uncle, didn't think carefully."

The Supreme Emperor was very satisfied with Situ Jun's attitude, and handed the teacup in his hand to Dai Quan, "That girl is a bit too spoiled. Although there are quite a few children of the same age in Beijing, there are only a few of them. But I’m afraid they’re all engaged.”

Also, if Princess Le'an is almost eighteen, it's really hard to find someone at this age.Situ Jun listened with a smile, the Supreme Emperor must have already had a candidate in mind, so he told himself that.That being the case, why did he bother to talk about it.

"I heard that Yun Ning's brother-in-law hasn't married yet?"

When Situ Jun heard this, his heart sank, his eyelids could not help but droop to cover the flashing clarity in his eyes, and when he looked at the Supreme Emperor again, he still had the same smiling face, "Yes, I heard that Lao Jiu and Yun Ning both said."

The Supreme Emperor hummed, Old Nine?Do you really think you don't know about the matter between him and that kid from the Lin family?It's just turning a blind eye and closing a blind eye, anyway, my son can't suffer no matter how he looks at it.

"In terms of talking about it, Lin Ruhai was considered a powerful minister back then, and he was a loyal minister even after he died in office. I heard that Lin Yan was a talented minister, and the soundtrack is really good."

"Father, the Lin family...although they have a solid foundation, they are not very prosperous. The Gusu Lin family has a weak network of contacts. Although Lin Yan is good, he is only a seventh-rank Hanlin at this time. If there is no one to help him in the future, he may be wronged." Le'an. Why don't you pick up a family of a prominent family in central Beijing to find a child of the right age?" Situ Jun said.

The Supreme Emperor sighed, "Why didn't I think about what you said? It's just that when the former Concubine Gui told me about Le'an, she also said something good. This child has been spoiled since she was a child, and her title is just the princess. I don’t have my own mansion. If I go to another house, I’m afraid something will happen, so I’d rather find a simple house.”

Hearing this, Situ Jun already understood, and it seems that this matter was not the emperor's whim.Concubine Gui... Since when did you set your mind on Lin Zifei?

Coughing lightly, Situ Jun was a little embarrassed and glanced at Dai Quan.The Supreme Emperor understood, and raised his hand, Dai Quan had already bowed out with Gao Shoujing, leading the little eunuch and the little maid in the hall.

"Don't dare to hide from my father, this, Lao Jiu... He and the child of the Lin family have had a relationship since childhood..."

"So what?" The Supreme Emperor gave him an angry look, "I don't know how little they are?"

Situ Jun lowered his eyes.

"Since the previous dynasty, masculinity has been very popular. I don't want to care about the old nine. He has a concubine and a side concubine. Anyway, that's what makes people look at him. What about Lin Yan? Can he hang around with the old nine for the rest of his life?"

The words were very high-sounding, "Yes, that family is going to be successful. His family has a simple population. If Le An matches him, there will be no parents-in-law at the top and no uncles and sister-in-laws making trouble in the house. Wouldn't it be just right? "

Where is it right?Situ Jun slandered, but didn't say it out.Looking at this posture, my father really made up his mind?

"Father is thoughtful. But from my son's point of view, it's a good thing. Le'an is a girl from our family. At least I should tell Lin Yan first. Don't give her a marriage in a hurry. This seems to force the girl to pass."

The Supreme Emperor nodded, "Leave this matter to you."

Suddenly he sighed again, "I know that you and Zhong Jing Zhong are not as close as you are with Lao Jiu. In the past two years, I have refused to let them into the palace easily, and you know the intention of this. I am getting old , I don’t have so much energy to think about it, let’s talk to you now——You don’t have many brothers, if it doesn’t hinder the country, you should be more lenient about their stupidity.”

Situ Jun hurriedly stood up, suppressed a sneer in his heart, and said in a harmonious voice: "Don't worry about the son, the emperor can just rest assured."

Coming out of the Daming Palace, Situ Jun walked in the imperial garden with a gloomy face, and ordered Gao Shoujing behind him, "Go, bring Lao Jiu and Lin Yan into the palace."

After hearing this, Gao Shoujing felt a bit embarrassed, looked at the emperor's face, and still bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the key will be released soon."

The key to the palace gate, that is, no one can enter or exit.

Situ Jun suppressed his irritability, "Morrow is going to court tomorrow, you go personally and announce the two of them to the Hall of Qinzheng."

After a pause, "There is also King Beijing."
