Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Lin Jinyu was selected as Tanhua, Xu Ziwen and You Rongyan went to Lin's mansion to help treat guests.

This is as rare as the sun coming out from the west. Xu Ziwen, the uncle of the country, has no name but is a real cousin of the emperor. He is the emperor's relative among the emperor's relatives. limelight.

However, Lin Jinyu was more liked by his family members. There were more than two hundred Jinshi, how many young unmarried children of famous families could there be like Lin Jinyu.Therefore, Lin Jinyu's value is far more than a Jinshi title. For a while, all the wives and grandmas who have a relationship came to the door. Lin Daiyu entertained the family members, and someone said, "Miss, I only heard people say that the No. [-] scholar can straddle a horse Streetwalker, it’s just that I haven’t been lucky enough to see Tanhualang in my life, and I heard that Uncle Lin is not very old, so let’s open our eyes when we call in.” Many people wanted to see Lin Jinyu, and echoed.

How can Lin Daiyu not understand, but she has always had great confidence in her younger brother, she said with a smile, "Aunts, aunts and sisters-in-law just call him Jinyu, what kind of uncle is he? He's so born." Ordered Xiaoyu to go to the second door to pass the word , invite Lin Jinyu to come in and greet her.As long as the older wives and grandmas like Lin Jinyu, they all boasted "this face is full of blessings." "The appearance is excellent, talented and learned." The girl in her boudoir, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that the Lin family was a rare and good family.As soon as Lin Jinyu left, he asked if Lin Jinyu had ever engaged in marriage, but fortunately, everyone was a respectable figure in the upper class, and no one would directly recommend their own girl.

The official guests outside had Xu Ziwen sitting in the town, and everyone was very polite. Wang Ziteng just took a sip of the wine and said with a smile, "Good wine, it must be more than ten years old. Such fragrant wine is rare now. .”

Xu Ziwen laughed and said, "This wine was buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree by Brother Ruhai when Jinyu was born. Back then when their siblings went to Beijing, they transported all the hundred jars of wine to Beijing. It is 15 years old. Yes. Now it’s a happy event, take it out and have a taste with you.”

Hearing of this origin, everyone tasted it again, feeling a bit more delicious.Chen Linren was old-hearted, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin was a very elegant person back then. I have no regrets to have a son like this." He took a sip of the fine wine in the glass, and it was indeed clear and fragrant, absolutely extraordinary. He glanced at Xu Ziwen, "Rui Zhuo, I heard that you have engaged Tan Hua Lang to marry me, which family's girl is that?"

Wang Ziteng sighed deeply, Xu Ziwen's attack was really quick, now there is no need to ask, his face was calm, he just listened with a smile, Xu Ziwen laughed and said, "I've always been impatient. Last year my father came See you, Jingyu, when you see Jinyu, you are a hit, three points better than me. I wanted to invite Jinyu to Shandong for a few days. Before that, Jinyu was preparing for the exam and had no free time. The old man guessed that the spring was over, so he let Someone sent a letter from Shandong, ordering me to take Jinyu there. Jinyu has been studying with me for these years, but she has never been to my house. My father is old now and has nothing to do. He likes to be a matchmaker the most. Yes. If there is a suitable one, it would be a good thing to have a marriage."

As soon as this remark came out, no one would argue anymore. None of the people here are fools. Who can compete with the Xu family?It is obvious that Xu Ziwen wants to take this opportunity to spread the word. Maybe he is married to a girl from the Xu family. Xu Ziwen is so sweet and obedient, how can he let the fat water flow to outsiders' fields, but everyone has to re-evaluate Lin Jinyu's weight up.

Lin Jinyu was so busy that she was dizzy. Lin Ruhai was in an important position in the past, and the family friends of the Lin family were all similar people. Then there were Lin Jinyu's two gentlemen, Xu Ziwen and Xu Jia, and this year's teacher Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo just showed his face slightly, ordered a jar of wine, and soon lost his home.Xu Jia works in the imperial hospital, and his official position is not high, but it is judged by the left court. These days, don't offend the imperial physician if you offend anyone.Xu Jia didn't talk much, but it was Lin Jinyu's serious master, who was seated as the chief, and felt that the wine was not bad, and thought about taking a few more jars to take home and drink slowly.Jia Zheng, Jia He and Jia Lian also came to drink, but Lin Jinyu just walked over to say hello, not particularly enthusiastic, and the three of them were a little dizzy.Most of the people in the Rongguo Mansion's social circle were relatives and relatives of the four princes and eight princes, and there were very few contacts with real power figures in the court.I thought that Jia Amnesty was a vain noble without a real job, and Jia Zheng was an unconventional official. Jia Lian was used to coming to trouble, but he was not an official, and he couldn't deal with these adults.At this moment, when they saw the room full of people they had never heard of before, they really understood what it meant to lose the Lin family.

This was all a disaster caused by his prodigal wife. Jia Zheng was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. After seeing Jia's mother, he went to Aunt Zhao's room.Jia Amnesty thought he was being reasonable, and usually he didn't go to Jia's mother, but now he complained to his old lady, "Today, all the nephews are wearing those beautiful official uniforms, and none of them boast that they are handsome and promising. Yes, most of the people who go to the Lin Mansion to drink are old friends of my brother-in-law's, the assistant minister Shaoqing and so on. The bachelor is all over the place to accompany the guests, and he is decent and honorable." Looking at the expressionless old face of the old lady, he sighed quietly, "It's a pity that my nephew is far away from us, otherwise, Lian'er and his wife are helping to run errands and entertain guests. "

Jia's mother said "hmm" and said nothing. Jia She then continued, "Xu Shi's father is even worried about my nephew's marriage now. I don't know what kind of famous lady Xu Guozhang will tell my nephew. My nephew really seems to have a bright future." Jin." It was both sigh and envy.

How could Jia Mu not know what the elder son said, but what's the use of postponing these things now, the corners of her lips curled up with a touch of loose skin, her eyes were cold and cold, and she sneered, "What's the use of envying others? Also adjust your skills ~ Teach a Tanhua son to come out! The old and young women in the family can also enjoy the glory of your grand master! Okay, you are tired after drinking all day, go down and rest first!" Jia She said with a face on his face. Green and white for a while, he gritted his molars, bowed his head and walked away.Mother Jia slammed her palm on the armrest of the soft couch, making a muffled sound, and all the maidservants in the room fell silent.

At the same time, Yuanyang came from the small kitchen with freshly made bird's nest porridge. Seeing Jia She's sullen face and walking across from her, she hurriedly put down the food box and bowed her knees to salute.Jia She's footsteps paused, a pair of cloudy eyes swept back and forth on the delicate face of the mandarin duck, took two steps forward, his nose was filled with a unique fragrance of a daughter's house, he couldn't help his heart fluttering, his eyes were glued to the delicate face of the mandarin duck. On Ruzhi's neck, he asked with a smile, "Is this to send food to the old lady?"

"Master, it's the old lady's bird's nest porridge." Yuanyang lowered her eyes and replied softly.

Jia She took a few breaths of the scent, wishing he could rub a few hands on the neck of the mandarin duck to relieve the itch, and said in a warm voice, "I know you are capable, go, you serve the old lady well, I know you too, sir." love."

The mandarin duck saluted again, and Fang left carrying the hexagonal carved old mahogany food box.Jia She stared at the slender figure of the mandarin duck, longing for a long time, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, mother, you are too partial!

It is not an exaggeration for Jia's mother to say that she is knowledgeable. When the emperor was in power, when Yizhong Laoqian was originally the reserve, the Rongguo Mansion devoted himself to filial piety to Yizhong Laoqian; Fortunately, at that time, I learned that my granddaughter Yuan Chun had become the current Princess Zhongshun, the right-hand woman next to Concubine Xu, the favorite concubine Xu. King Zhongshun was the second son and had always been famous in the court. In the concubine's palace, the family also indirectly surrendered to King Zhongshun.Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai, the son-in-law, pointed out that the third prince was benevolent, filial, loyal, and so on.Mother Jia was a knowledgeable woman. After her husband died, she was a widow who insisted on supporting the Rongguo Mansion.She also got some rumors from Prince Teng Shi's family. Once the emperor and the courtiers, Jia's mother thought that the two sons had no future.Gritting her teeth and being cruel, she went to the palace to pay her respects with her old face. At that time, some high-profile concubines knew about Jia Daishan's savior, let alone Concubine Xu who had been with her for many years.Because of this, Concubine Xu treats Jiamu differently, and even wants to win over the Rongguo Mansion, so she asks Jiamu to meet Yuanchun.Yuan Chun was brought up by his grandmother when he was young, and he had a good heart. Hearing what his grandmother said cautiously, he also became a little bit determined to make contributions.She was originally Concubine Xu's confidant, and took the opportunity of giving something to the current Empress Dowager and Concubine Rong back then.

Tu Jingchen took this opportunity to pull down King Zhongshun, who was originally hopeful for the crown prince. After ascending to the throne, because the emperor was in good health, he took the regent every ten days. In fact, Tu Jingchen didn't have any real power.Concubine Rong became the empress dowager, how could Concubine Zhongshun be reconciled, and insisted on introducing the female history of her son to the empress dowager and the emperor, and also said that she was Jia Daishan's granddaughter.Princess Zhongshun's move catered to the hearts of everyone.The emperor intends to promote the Rongguo Mansion; Princess Zhongshun wants to put her own nails beside the emperor, and Yuan Chun has been serving her by her side since entering the palace, and she feels trustworthy; the empress dowager wants to reward Yuan Chun for his surrender. In Yuanchun Fengzao Palace, she was honored as the noble concubine.It's just that poor Concubine Zhongshun, who thinks she's smart, flatters a beautiful snake!

Concubine Yuan has struggled in the palace for more than ten years. Because of Jia's mother's plan, she was honored as the noble concubine, which is an infinite honor.In the Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother was even more wishful. Although Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and had no ability, but there were people in the palace, the four major families still couldn't underestimate the Jia family.

Jia's mother thought that her family still had decades of wealth and honor, but the Zhen family was in trouble. There was a letter saying that the Ministry of Justice had sent a document to go to Jinling to arrest someone.In the face of disaster, women have a natural sensitive intuition.Thinking about how beautiful it was when the Zhen family greeted them four times back then, the Zhen family, like the Rongguo Mansion, were old ministers of the emperor.Jia's mother thought of her own family from the Zhen family. Fortunately, the Zhen family held an important position in the government, and she was well informed of the news of three disasters and eight disasters. But after Lin Ruhai passed away, there was no one close to and familiar with the government.Although the historians of the Wang family are close, there is no reason to ask them for advice on everything.Hearing Jia Amnesty's words, Jia's mother was inevitably tempted, but now she is more aware of the value of the Xu family.In terms of relatives, Rongguo Mansion is Lin Jinyu's serious family; but in terms of closeness, Lin Jinyu is now far away from Rongguo Mansion.What Jiamu valued was not only the closeness between the Lin family and the courtiers, but also Lin Jinyu's relationship with the Xu family.The Xu family is the queen's relatives, is there a more legitimate imperial party than them?Although my family had made great achievements in the early years, if I could build up the relationship with the Xu family from Lin Jinyu, I would be showing my loyalty to the emperor.

Mother Jia thought about all the benefits of marrying the Lin family, but how could she steal the marriage from the Xu family who would not offend anyone?
