The Son-in-law of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

The Lin family has passed down several generations, and there are very few in-laws. Lin Ruhai's uncle's family is not in Shenjing. Among the remaining in-laws, the ones closest to the Lin family are Lin Ruhai's Yue family and Jia Min's natal family - Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Ruhai and his wife originally planned to go to Rongguo Mansion to greet Jiamu after packing up, but they didn't expect...

On the second day after the Lin family returned to Beijing, a decree came from the palace, and the empress dowager asked Jia Min to enter the palace to have an audience.

Jia Min's father and husband are both highly trusted courtiers of the old sage. Jia Min is no stranger to the palace, and has entered it no less than a hundred times since childhood.

Jia Min was not surprised by the Empress Dowager's will, the harem was connected with the previous dynasty, and Lin Ruhai was promoted to Minister of the Household Department, so the Empress Dowager naturally wanted to summon the female family members of the Lin family.

However, one point was specifically mentioned in the Empress Dowager's edict - let Jia Min bring her daughter into the palace.

Jia Min put on the royal court clothes according to her rank, led Daiyu's little hand, and got on the carriage to the Forbidden City.

At the gate of the palace, although Jia Min was the wife of an important official of the imperial court and the wife of the second rank, she still got out of the carriage and led Daiyu into the imperial city on foot.

It stands to reason that the empress is the "mother" of the Ming Empire and should live in the Kunning Palace located on the central axis of the Forbidden City, which echoes the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lives.

But now, both the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Empress are alive and living in Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace.

Although Emperor Chengrui is the son of heaven, he lives in the East Palace. The empress is the wife of Emperor Chengrui and also lives in the East Palace.

At this time, Jia Min's mother and daughter were on their way to the East Palace.

It was the queen mother who summoned Jia Min, but according to the rules, Jia Min should go to see the queen first.

The problem is that the Supreme Emperor is still alive, the Supreme Emperor is not a widow, and still lives in Kunning Palace, but the Empress is also the legitimate "Mother of the Nation"... Jia Min smiled wryly in her heart.

The queen empress and Jia Min are about the same age. Before they got married, they both lived in Shenjing, but they were just acquaintances.

When Jia Min was not out of the cabinet, Rong Guogong Jia Daishan was still alive, and the Rongguo Mansion was in its heyday. Jia Min was the old daughter of Jia Daishan and Jia Mu, and the only prostitute daughter. She was top-notch in appearance, talent and learning. Yes, Jia Daishan and Jia's mother loved him very much. Even the saints and queens at that time - the current Supreme Emperor and Supreme Queen - liked Jia Min very much.

Back then, Jia Min belonged to the girls in Shenjing that no one dared to mess with. Even the princess and princess, although their status was more noble than Jia Min, they did not dare to use their status to overwhelm Jia Min—the emperor and Jia Daishan were so good that they almost wore a pair of pants Well, the emperor treats Jia Daishan's daughter better than his own daughter and niece!

After more than ten years of living in such a golden and precious life, Jia Min's vision has become extremely high, and there are very few girls who can catch her eyes.

For friends, Jia Min will treat them wholeheartedly, and for others, Jia Min will not say a word to them.

Jia Min is very smart, and naturally knows that many people don't like her actions, but she still does her own way. The reason is very simple-although you don't like me, what can you do to me?

When Jia Min married into the Lin family, Lin Ruhai's father had passed away, and the Lin family had also declined. As the only male in the Lin family, Lin Ruhai was just a juror.

Jia Min understands that although she is the No. 1 military general of the Ming Dynasty and the most beloved daughter of Rong Guogong Jia Daishan, after she became Lin Ruhai's wife, she was the wife of the Lin family first, and then the daughter of the Jia family.

As Jia's daughter, Jia Min has no scruples, but as Lin's wife, Jia Min has scruples.

The moment she became Lin Ruhai's wife, Jia Min withdrew her sharp edge. Although she did not become sophisticated and scheming, she did not act as a hindrance to Lin Ruhai, which made many people who were waiting to see her laugh Extremely disappointed.

In Jia Min's eyes, the queen before leaving the cabinet belonged to "other people", and the two just met each other.

Back then, Jia Min married into the Lin family, but the queen was accused by the old sage and became the fifth prince's official concubine.

Today, both of them are wives and follow their husbands. Jia Min has become the wife of the Minister of the Household Department, the wife of the second rank, and the queen has become the "Mother of the Nation".

Jia Min, who did not take himself seriously in the past, now greets him respectfully.

It stands to reason that the queen should be elated and shouted: "Jia Min, you also have today!"

However, looking at Jia Min's young and beautiful face, the queen felt panicked.

The Queen is the same age as Jia Min. Although she is well maintained, she can still see the traces of time on her face. The Queen's face is already old, but Jia Min is still as beautiful as a flower.

Jia Min is Lin Ruhai's only woman. Although Emperor Chengrui is not a womanizer, there are still many women...

Moreover, although the empress is extremely dignified, she cannot do whatever she wants. The empress is still pressed by the three mountains of the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Empress, and the Emperor. Jia Min's husband is an important minister promoted by the Supreme Emperor. The Empress Dowager likes Jia Min very much. It is very important.

Although the queen didn't like Jia Min, she had to smile and said to Jia Min: "Get up quickly, don't be too polite. Come here, give me a seat."

Jia Min didn't know what the queen was thinking. After she became Lin's wife, she restrained her sharpness and established good personal relationships with many women. Among them was the queen, the former fifth prince and concubine.

In Jia Min's view, although she and the queen are not very close, there is absolutely no hatred.

To make a digression, Jia Min paid great attention to her daughter's education and vowed not to let Daiyu become what she was when she was young.

Jia Min sighed in her heart: "Although the family background of the girls who can get acquainted with me is not as good as mine, they are all very good. Now most of them have become high-level wives, and they even have a queen. I was really good at that time." Silly, although I had a good time when I was not out of the cabinet, I tasted the bitter fruit after I got married. If my husband hadn't been uplifting, won the appreciation of the Supreme Emperor, and became a member of the court, although I would not be struggling now, it would definitely be difficult. It may even implicate your husband and children."

"When I was not out of the court, my father often taught me and my two elder brothers, 'A person should not be arrogant, but not without arrogance'. I thought I understood the true meaning of it, but in fact I only understood half of it. I didn't distinguish what is arrogance and what is it. It’s arrogance, and I have learned a four-character image.”

The queen talked with Jia Minlue for a while, and then changed the topic to Daiyu. The queen pointed to Daiyu and asked, "Is this child your youngest daughter? Which daughter was born with jade?"

Jia Min nodded, and replied: "It's the young girl of my minister's wife, her baby name is Daiyu, she was spoiled by me."

The queen asked: "What about the jade? Can you show me?"

Jia Min's heart trembled, and then "calmly" took off the psychic gem from Daiyu's neck, and handed it to the maid beside her, who came to the queen with the psychic gem.

The queen picked up the psychic gem, looked at it back and forth, and praised: "It really is a treasure."

Jia Min tightly clenched the handkerchief in his hand, a decent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The queen put down Baoyu, took Daiyu's little hand, and asked with a smile, "How old is Yu'er?"

Daiyu replied, "Five years old."

The queen asked again: "Has Yu'er ever been to school?"

Daiyu replied: "Yes, I am studying with my husband."

The queen continued to ask: "Where did you read it?"

Daiyu replied, "I just read the Four Books."

The queen saw that Daiyu was young, but she had an extraordinary bearing. She did not show a trace of timidity when answering the questions. She articulated clearly and smiled at the corners of her mouth. She pointed at Jia Min and said angrily, "Did you belittle your own child like this? It's ours." Girls, none can compare to Yu'er."

Jia Min replied with a smile: "Your Majesty said that the courtiers belittled their own children. Isn't your Majesty the same? The tolerance of the Tian family is beyond our comparison."

The East Palace was full of joy, and after a while, the maid next to the queen reminded in a low voice: "Madam, Mrs. Lin is going to pay her respects to the queen mother."

The queen raised her eyes to look at the western clock, and then blamed herself: "Look at me, I was so happy to see Mrs. Lin, I forgot the time, it's time to pay my respects to my mother."

Jia Min stood up and said, "It's my wife's fault."

The queen said: "I don't blame you, it's mine. Let's go."

Seeing that Jia Min got up, Daiyu walked to Jia Min's side, pulled Jia Min's sleeve, and said obediently, "I'm supporting my mother."

Jia Min stretched out his hand to hold Daiyu's little hand, and smiled at the queen, "This child is so close to me, I'll make your empress laugh."

The queen shook her head and said with a smile, "I really envy you for having such a caring child."

After finishing speaking, the empress stood up with the hand of a court lady, and shouted: "Be quicker with your hands and feet, help Madam Lin, don't let Madam Lin fall."

A court lady hurriedly stretched out her hand towards Jia Min, and Jia Min smiled and put the other hand on the palace maid's arm.

Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

As soon as the Queen and Jia Min's mother and daughter arrived at the Kunning Gate, a sharp-eyed little eunuch rushed in to report.

Entering the main hall, an old woman with gray hair is sitting on the throne at the top, she is the queen mother.

The queen and Jia Min's mother and daughter saluted the queen mother, and the queen mother hurriedly ordered the maids around them to help them up.

Empress Yuan of the Supreme Emperor was the biological mother of the abolished prince, who died shortly after giving birth to the abolished prince. Now the empress dowager is the successor of the overlord, much younger than the overlord. She has been a queen for decades, but has no give birth to a child.

The prince has no mother, and the queen has no children. Therefore, the relationship between the queen mother and the deposed prince is very good, and the queen mother regards the deposed prince as her future support.

But who would have thought that the Supreme Emperor would abolish the crown prince and pass the throne to Emperor Chengrui.

Although the Supreme Emperor abolished the crown prince, he not only did not blame her husband who had been with her for decades, but was very conniving.

The queen mother has no children and no worries, the reason why she has a good relationship with the deposed prince is to have someone to rely on in the future.

Now, the queen mother is very old, thinking that she will not live for a few years, so she has no scruples. Although the rules are not broken, within a certain range, she can do whatever she wants.

For Emperor Chengrui and his wife, the queen mother was very displeased, so she was very indifferent to the queen. The queen could do nothing but smile wryly.

When the Empress Dowager was young, Duke Rong Jia Daishan was still there, and the Empress Dowager naturally saw the friendship between the Supreme Emperor and Jia Daishan, so she was very kind to Jia Daishan's wife and daughter.

When Jia Min was young, she was very attractive. The queen mother liked this cute little girl very much, and often summoned her to Kunning Palace to speak.

After going back and forth, there was a little real feeling.

and so……

The Empress Dowager and the Empress talked nonsense for a while, then turned their gazes to Jia Min, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, and said, "Min'er, come and show me."

Jia Min came to the Queen Mother slowly, and the Queen Mother grabbed Jia Min's hand, rubbed Jia Min's delicate skin with a palm like dead bark, and said, "You girl, you have been away for three years. I’m afraid I’ve forgotten my old lady.”

Jia Min said with a smile: "How dare I forget my mother, my wife's husband was sent to Yangzhou by the sage, so my wife will naturally accompany her around. As soon as my wife returns to Beijing, she will come to pay her respects to the empress dowager."

The queen mother laughed and scolded: "You girl, you have been sweet since you were a child..."

The queen mother looked at Daiyu behind Jia Min, and asked, "Is this child your daughter? Which one was born with jade? This child looks exactly like you when you were a child... Child, come here, let me have a look."

Daiyu looked up at Jia Min, and seeing Jia Min nodded, she walked towards the Queen Mother, and just halfway there, she heard a voice from outside the hall: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The Crown Prince arrives.

The author has something to say: The Crown Prince has appeared...
