The Heart of the Red Chamber

At the moment Wang Ren felt like he was holding his back, not because of anything else, but because of the future old Taishan Lin Zhenghe who was sitting on the main seat.

After Lin Zhenghe came out of the Imperial Academy, he went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be the censor. If he could get into the position of deputy in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he would definitely not be able to just be jealous. Most of the stunned people like that were beaten to the ground. Liu, when the emperor needs to compromise, the censor's misfortune is predictable.

At first glance, Lin Zhenghe looked like a handsome and refined middle-aged man, but at this moment, Wang Ren only felt a lot of pressure.Lin Zhenghe's gaze was not harsh, but it made Wang Ren feel a little guilty.However, this kind of gaze didn't last long. Lin Zhenghe saw that Wang Ren was still sitting there with a calm expression on his face, with a smile on his face, and said, "Well, it really is a hero born a boy! I heard people talking about you before." , I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that the old man underestimated you!"

Wang Ren hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Master Lin is absurdly praised, the boy is ignorant of learning, and his poor reputation is nothing more than the love of the seniors!"

Lin Zhenghe chuckled: "Young man, arrogance is not a bad thing at all! However, if you know how to be modest and prudent, you will be able to go further! You are stronger than when I was young!"

Just as Wang Ren was about to say something, Lin Zhenghe waved his hands: "Okay, this old man has always been straightforward and doesn't like to beat around the bush! My little daughter will be entrusted to you from now on!"

Wang Ren stood up, bowed again and saluted: "Little son-in-law, remember, you will live up to your father-in-law's trust!" He directly hit the snake and followed the stick.

Lin Zhenghe laughed, stood up and helped Wang Ren up, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's ask the kitchen to make two side dishes later, so we two can have a few drinks!"

Lin Zhenghe is a relatively talkative person, and it seems that he has not abandoned his knowledge over the years. He often makes witty remarks, and even a plate of dishes on the table can tell some allusions. I can still keep up with Lin Zhenghe's thinking, and when I encounter something I really don't know, I won't pretend to understand. I would like to compliment Master Taishan's knowledge and knowledge, and make Lin Zhenghe look like a god. Refreshed and triumphant, he directly introduced this son-in-law as a confidant.

In the backyard of the Lin family, Mrs. Li was listening to a servant recounting the previous incident, and that servant was also eloquent: "Madam, our uncle, he is really a good-looking talent, he is handsome, and he seems to have a good temper! Talked very congenially with the master, he is indeed Tan Hualang! The master was happy to talk, and he used an extra bowl of rice than usual!"

Mrs. Li smiled and listened: "Okay, go back to the cashier and get five taels of silver reward!"

The servant happily kowtowed to Mrs. Li, and secretly rejoiced that he got a good job today, so he quit.

"Wan'er, come out!" Mrs. Li turned her head and called with a light smile.

A girl in a pea green dress turned out from behind the screen: "My daughter has seen her mother!"

Mrs. Li smiled and pulled her daughter Lin Wan to sit beside her: "You ghost girl, you just heard it! Don't worry, mother, I won't hurt you!"

There were two blushes on Lin Wan's face, she shook the arm holding Mrs. Li, and said softly, "Mother!"

"Okay, stop acting like a spoiled child!" Mrs. Li smiled, "You have met Mrs. Wang Jiasun, she is a kind person, and Wang Ren is an only son and has no brothers. When you get married, I don't know how much trouble you will have to save." ! Wan'er, you are the only daughter, I will always give you the best!"

Lin Wan said in a low voice, "It's the daughter who made mother bother!"

"What are you talking about? You are my daughter. I don't worry about it. Who cares about it!" Mrs. Li's eyes flashed. She was very satisfied with this marriage. Although the Wang family is not as good as the Lin family, it is a family with hundreds of years of history, but However, Lin Zhenghe's lineage is not a direct descendant of the Lin family.Wang Ren became famous when he was young, and now he has become an official. Wang Ziteng is even in the cabinet. There are people in his superiors, and he knows how to make progress. Even if the family is a little poor, there are still some people who are willing to marry off their daughters, not to mention that the Wang family is still a rich family in Jinling!

She teased her daughter a few times, teasing a 13-year-old girl so that her face flushed, and she almost bid farewell to her mother and went to her boudoir. Seeing her daughter running away, Mrs. Li thought about it Wake up, the marriage has already been settled, the daughter is a little younger, it is best to ask the in-laws if they can wait for Wan'er and Ji before entering the door, there are still a lot of high-quality huanghuali accumulated over the years in the warehouse, please invite a skilled old man The master came back to make dowry furniture for his daughter. Although he has been saving his daughter’s dowry all these years, the second room of the Wang family married his daughter with a lot of dowry. Now the daughter is going to be the clan wife of the Wang family. Back up.

While Mrs. Li was thinking about it, Lin Zhenghe came back smelling of alcohol, with a smile all over his face: "Madam, this time our daughter has picked it up!"

"How do you say it?" Mrs. Li asked as she stood up and wiped Lin Zhenghe's face in Kuanyi.

Lin Zhenghe smiled and said, "That boy Wang Ren thought he was just a young man, and he thought he was an idiot, but after taking the exam for his husband, he turned out to be a wonderful person! At a young age, his speech is quite sophisticated, he is really a formidable young man." When my husband was young, he couldn’t do this! Speaking of Wang Ziteng, even if he wasn’t a rough man, he was not far behind, but having such a clever son is really enviable! "

Mrs. Li was elated when she heard this: "What the master said, in the future, isn't that child your son-in-law? As the saying goes, half a son-in-law is half a son-in-law! We are all a family!"

Lin Zhenghe also said with a smile: "What Madam said is true, it's because of my husband's bad intentions!" Taking a cup of tea from the servant girl, Lin Zhenghe sighed: "Speaking of which, the old man used to be ashamed." Thinking about it, Wan'er is still a little girl, and she is going to get married in no time!"

"What the master said is that the concubine is also reluctant! But girls, you have to marry in this life!" Mrs. Li took the words and said, "The concubine is thinking about it, so I will go back and talk to my wife to see if I can get married." Two years later, wait until Wan'er is old enough to get married!"

Lin Zhenghe nodded and said with a smile: "Madam's words really won my heart, and I will talk to Wang Ziteng as my husband!"

Mrs. Li stretched out her slender fingers to massage Lin Zhenghe's head, and said, "Wan'er's dowry needs to be processed urgently. For a child, there is never too much jewelry!"

Lin Zhenghe nodded: "Wan'er's dowry should be richer. Although the Wang family has a lower foundation than our Lin family, they have always been better at management. A few years ago, they owed a lot to the household department, and they paid it off in two years. , it seems that there is still enough energy, which is enough to show how the Wang family's family property is! Our family Wan'er was also raised like gold and jade, and if she can't go to her husband's house, it makes people feel that she has never seen the world!"

Mrs. Li suddenly gained confidence, and said confidently: "Master, don't worry! Wan'er is the only prostitute in our house, whoever is wronged, can't be wronged by Wan'er!" Mrs. Li has always been a cunning person , it is fair for the concubine and the concubine daughter, even if two concubine daughters get married, the marriage is not bad, and the dowry is 48 lifts, which is enough for the concubine daughter to live a good life in her husband's house.However, the little daughter I raised in the palm of my hand is too shabby to carry 48. Mrs. Li has already estimated that, not to mention the furniture, she will have to spend 5 taels for her daughter to prepare for her dowry. There should be around [-] to [-] cash in the box. In this case, unless you are marrying into the royal family, otherwise, it is definitely enough.

Lin Zhenghe said with a smile: "My wife has always been at ease in doing things for my husband!" Although Lin Zhenghe has the temperament of a literati, he has always been very clear about the distinction between his wife and concubine. Don't intervene, of course, this is also because Mrs. Li is fair. Although there is no maternal love for the concubine and the concubine, she has not treated them badly after all.The concubine was raised and brought up like his eldest son, but unfortunately, his talent was a little weaker. He passed the exam several times in a row, but he never passed, and now he has given up. With the privilege of not paying taxes, the family will be separated in the future, and the concubine will be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life with the help of the land.When the concubine was at home, she was raised with the same standards as the concubine. Although the married person was from a poorer background, he was also from a wealthy family, and he was also motivated, so his future would not be bad.

His wife cares so much about his concubine and concubine daughter, and never uses any shady means. Naturally, Lin Zhenghe doesn't mind Mrs. Li being more selfish about his own daughter. No matter what, Wan'er is also his How about a daughter raised in the palm of your hand!

Wang Ren breathed a sigh of relief when he went back drunk, no matter what, the father-in-law has passed this level, although he has never seen what his future daughter-in-law looks like, but judging by the appearance of the father-in-law, she will definitely not be bad Yes, thinking about it in my heart, I naturally felt relieved.

Wang Ren was sitting on the carriage with the window half open, taking advantage of the wind blowing in to wake him up, when suddenly the carriage stopped, and a person outside shouted: "Aren, it must be inside you!"

Wang Ren was almost drunk at the moment, he pushed open the door of the carriage, poked his head out, saw that it was Chen Yejun, and said with a smile, "It's you!"

Chen Yejun laughed: "When I passed by just now, I saw the person inside looked like you, and I was worried that I might have mistaken it, but after a closer look, it was your carriage. I came over and asked, and it was indeed you!"

Wang Ren smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm with my father?"

While getting into the carriage, Chen Yejun said indifferently: "If Mr. Wang is here, I'll just pay a visit. What's the big deal! By the way, where did you go today? Why is he smelling like alcohol!"

Wang Ren said with a smile: "My family has just decided on my lifelong affairs. No, I'm going to meet my future father-in-law early in the morning!"

"Who's daughter is lucky enough to marry Tanhualang!" Chen Yejun's eyes flashed strangely, and then he teased nonchalantly.

"I don't usually see you so poor-mouthed!" Wang Ren was in a good mood, and now he said with a smile, "It's Mrs. Lin, the deputy governor of the left! Well, no matter how I say it, I’m not at a loss! By the way, why haven’t I heard you mention your marriage? Seeing that you are not young anymore, you can’t be like Ruolan, just keep procrastinating!”
