Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

It was a little late for Mu Li to return home. Seeing that there were two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, he was taken aback, pulled Lin Daiyu to sit together, and said softly, "Didn't I tell you that if I come back late, you can use it first." You don’t have to wait hungry for food.”

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "My brother and sister came today. I left my brother and sister to eat together at noon, and I had some snacks in the afternoon. I'm not hungry, but the weather is cooler now, so I'm hungry when I see the food."

"It's rare that you and your siblings can talk together." Mu Li smiled.

"How do you say that? The younger siblings are smart, and they talk very interesting." Lin Daiyu took the Bigeng rice from the maid and handed it to Mu Li, and then helped to prepare the vegetables.

Mu Li picked up chopsticks of green vegetables and put them in Daiyu's bowl, and said softly, "Eat more. I have been to Xu's Mansion in Shandong Province before, and my younger siblings are heroines, and a nine-section whip makes them superb. Become a master."

"I really can't see it. I just think that younger siblings are more cheerful than other girls, and they speak neatly. I didn't expect to know martial arts." Lin Daiyu was a little surprised, and praised, "It turns out that she is a hero among girls. Yesterday's big brother's banquet was amazing. Still busy?"

"good."

After dinner, the two went to the bedroom to talk, and the maids made new tea.

"The nanny next to my sister-in-law is here today." Lin Daiyu took tea, glanced at Mu Li, and said with a smile, "I said that the second master stayed in the palace yesterday, and there were two girls serving in the second master's room. The girl brought it here."

"You accepted it?" Mu Li asked with a frown.

Lin Daiyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Mu Li, "How is that possible? I'll take them for nothing. He's a sister-in-law who is too worried, and even has a hand in the brother's room. What's even more ridiculous is that Wang Momo, as soon as she came, she said that the second master touched them. I said, okay, since they serve the second master, and show the evidence." Daiyu really couldn't figure it out, she was always polite to the concubine, how could this son Concubine seems to dislike her?Mu Li's serious aunt, Princess Dong'an didn't say a word, so why is she a concubine looking for her everywhere?

Mu Lizheng listened carefully. Usually, Daiyu is gentle and eccentric. She accidentally sprayed a sip of tea onto the ground and said with a smile, "Good question. Huo, make trouble, don't worry about it, I'll go and explain it to my father, once and for all, so as to save them from scheming."

"Naturally, it's better for the second master to show up in person." Lin Daiyu was very happy knowing that her husband didn't touch the two girls, "The second master can't leave empty-handed. Beauty. Jinyu is not a lecherous person. I have never touched her before. I have seen her before, and her appearance and manners are all top-notch. Today I told my younger siblings and asked her to ask for six people. The second master took them to my elder brother. , is also the meaning of reciprocity."

Mu Li hesitated a bit, Lin Daiyu added tea and said, "Who can say good words, cruel words, and reasonable words, second master, think about it, this one is just the nanny next to the concubine, so she dares to open her mouth and keep her mouth shut The second master made up the matter that the second master touched two maidservants, the second master was soft-hearted, and tolerated it once or twice, but he knew that there was a saying that made an inch of it, and next time he would not know what kind of lies these people made up. Since ancient times, it is rare for three people to become tigers and talk about gold, and others have to think about it if the rumors come from outside. If it comes from the palace, will they take it seriously? According to me, be soft We have always been respectful and filial to our parents, and friendly and kind to our brothers. If we just let it go, it becomes foolish respect and filial piety. Although we don't live in the palace, we go to the palace to greet our parents regularly, but we never dare Enjoying it alone, we are filial, which makes people feel easy to be bullied. Because the second master made a concession today, he will step back step by step in the future. When I was at home, Jinyu told me that the second master's job is not of high grade, But it is an important position in the official residence, and everyone should be careful in dealing with people."

Mu Li was already thinking about it, so he took a sip of tea and said, "Prepare some gifts for Mom and Dad, I'll be there tomorrow."

===========

Mu Li is a very straightforward person, so he went to the study to talk to Mu Last.

"I heard that you made a fuss until the third watch the day before yesterday." Mu Zhi pointed to a chair, sat down on the grand teacher's chair behind the desk, and said with a smile, "Are you hungry for your elder brother's wine again today?" No matter which parent Happy to be close to my sons.

Mu Li sat down with no expression on his face, and said, "Brother's wine is naturally good. I'm here because I have something else to tell my father."

Mu Xi usually shows his majesty to his children, but when facing Mu Li, this pattern really cannot be shown.I tried to put it off before, but was humiliated by Xu Ziwen's scolding, and lost all face.Mu Li didn't grow up with him since he was a child, and he doesn't live in the palace now. He is naturally cold-faced, unsmiling, and rarely talks. Mu Li is not familiar with Mu Li, and Mu Li is somewhat promising. Mu Li treats him very well. Be a bit polite and listen quietly to what Mu Li has to say.

"The night before yesterday, I had a drink with my brothers because it was late, so I rested in the outer courtyard." Mu Li said, "There were two girls who served my son once with tea and water. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to send a nanny yesterday. Sending people to the son's house, full of lies, saying that the son touched their bodies. It's really ridiculous, such nonsense can be said casually, if it spreads, our house will train such bullying and forgetting the master His slave will make people laugh to death!"

Mu Zhi's face darkened, and he said angrily, "There is such a thing!" These ignorant old women.

"Father calm down, I came here just to tell my father that before marrying Mrs. Lin, I had already promised Jinyu that if Mrs. Lin were to marry, my son would never be dissatisfied. In the future, let's forget about these concubines and maidservants. "

As soon as Mu Li's words came out, Mu Last almost jumped up from his chair, staring and said, "What's the matter, any man is not three wives and four concubines, although Lin's marriage is bestowed by the emperor, you should respect it. But Shangzhu’s son-in-law can still have two concubines, now that you have been married for a year, it is time to consider the matter of children, is it true that the Lin family is more noble than the princess."

"The Lin family is naturally not comparable to the princess. Father, I fell in love with her when I was protecting my cousin in the Lin family. I have been waiting for her for seven years. Jinyu didn't want this marriage at first, not because she thought our family was not noble. , It’s really because our family is too noble, a big family, so naturally there are many disputes. I mentioned to Jinyu that he would never take concubines, so he agreed to marry. Father, I am not interested in three wives and four concubines.”

"The Lin family is arrogant!" Mu Last slapped Mu Li on the case, and gave Mu Li a look, "You are also worthless, there is no grass anywhere in the world, you must be..." A witch, definitely a witch.

Mu Li was neither surprised nor afraid, and said with a cold face, "Such capable people, like my father, naturally have wives and concubines in groups. How dare a son compare with his father, but the value is self-knowledge. Yu is a man, he puts his plans first, he is able to bend and stretch, and he is not arrogant. My son has known him for ten years, and asking to marry the Lin family means that the son alone means that the son is asking the emperor for a marriage, and the father does not have to anger the Lin family."

"You..." The psychosis taught by Xu Ruizhuo!Are you out of your mind?Or have you never seen a woman in eight lifetimes?The Lin family gave you ecstasy soup and Xiaohun is gone?

"If the father doesn't teach much, the son will leave."

Mu Last was angry and hated, Xu Ruizhuo really shouldn't have taken Mu Li away.This son was already alienated from the family, but he could no longer be alienated.Cursing is cursing, anger is anger, Mu Xi is not a fool, the Lin family is a serious in-law, Lin Jinyu is not only a hob meat, but also married with a deep background, his son who is not up to date has already let the words out in front of others , and didn't have to offend the Lin family because of the two girls.

Mu Xi was full of anger, and talked to his wife about it.

Wang Fei said, "Jiu'er's family clearly said that the two maids served well, and they were sent to Mu Li's family to order them. I think they look pretty good-natured, so they agreed."

"I don't think Jiu'er's family is very good at handling things. You can give her more advice. Mu Li lives outside, and now that he has a family and a business, he will pick out those who are in need. Don't worry about it." Mu Last still told himself The wife stayed a little thin, and said, "Those restless servants have been dealt with, and dare to talk nonsense about the master's affairs, I think you are too lenient, and you are so indulgent that they don't know how high the sky is!" , how thick the ground is."

The princess sighed, "Mu Li has been married for almost a year now, and my daughter-in-law's stomach hasn't moved yet. Although I'm not his biological mother, I still remember it in my heart." The soldiers and horses are on duty, in fact, both the princess and the eldest concubine want to talk about marriage with Mu Li.King Dong'an has four sons, the two eldest, Mu Jiu and Mu Li, are still up to the mark, and the two younger ones are pure playboys, they can't be counted on.Mu Li is promising, and his background is not bad. He can be regarded as a wealthy son-in-law. When he returned to Beijing, he was 22 years old. A distant cousin of the imperial concubine lived in the county palace. Li, Pian Mu Li can't let go.Later, the emperor granted the marriage in a well-spoken manner, and Daiyu's appearance and dowry were no less than that of the eldest son, and the brothers of her natal family fought hard.

"Mu Li didn't grow up in the mansion since he was a child, and he has his own ideas. His children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let him go."

"It's the servants Mu Li sent to his elder brother..."

Mu Zhi snorted, "That's right, only the eldest daughter-in-law is allowed to give him away, so why can't he show respect to his elder brother? Let Jiu'er figure it out."

The concubine put the matter aside first, and said with a smile, "Also, I heard that the concubine Yi in the palace is pregnant and has been promoted to the concubine again. The Rongguo mansion is busy setting up wine. Mu Li sent a lot of things over today , is the filial piety of their juniors. This Rongguo Mansion is also the uncle's family of the second daughter-in-law, and also a family friend of our family, shall we send a post to congratulate him?"

Mu Zhi laughed, "Why are you so confused, since it is the uncle's family of the second son's family, let the second son and his wife take care of it. There is no need to congratulate now, it will not be too late when Concubine Yi gives birth to the prince."

"Hey, let me tell you directly. I went back to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Nan'an. I heard that the third girl in Rongguo Mansion is good. She just got chiseled this year, and the third child of our family is also old. Now I am paying attention to these young ladies of the right age. The concubine smiled and discussed, "The elder brother in his family must be the youngest daughter of Zhen Xiang's family. Although the third girl is born from a concubine, she looks good and acts well."

"No." Mu Zhi directly vetoed it. Seeing his wife's ugly face, he softened his voice and said, "If Jia Daishan was still there, the daughter of the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion would have matched with the third child. But in the past two years, the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion Are there still too many jokes? The second girl in his family has been divorced. You think they are all sisters, so how can it be better? The third child in our family is limited, so it’s okay to find a more ordinary family, as long as the girl Make sense."

The concubine's expression softened, and she responded with a smile.
