Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Before the matter of Zhen's family was found out, another letter was sent from the palace that Yuan Chun's child had a miscarriage.

Mother Jia and the others cried bitterly. They wanted to visit the palace, but all the signs they handed over were returned, and they panicked for a while.Not only are the women in the family anxious, but even the men who are in charge of the affairs of the two houses gather together in the middle of the night to discuss solutions.

Jia Zheng asked Jia Lian, "Didn't you know a few eunuchs who borrow money from your family? Can you ask them about it? What else do they not know about the inner court?"

"Which of these people don't need to face forward or backward," Jia Lian sighed blindly, "Second uncle doesn't know yet, since the accident happened to the empress, none of them can see Jingzi. Nephew can't help it." , I have searched in several of the houses they set up outside, and all of them are like that shrinking turtle, where can I find the shadow."

Jia Zhen said, "A few family friends of the palace, have you inquired about them?"

"Such privacy is always taboo in the palace. People outside can't hide in time. Who would dare to intervene?"

Jia Rong was fiddling with a fan in her hand, and said with a smile, "I'm thinking of someone, but I don't know if it will work or not?"

Jia Zhen stared and scolded, "When is it? Are you still hesitating? Are you tight?"

Jia Rong glanced under the lamp, which blocked most of the candlelight, and Jia Rong's smiling face was a little blurred by the flickering light, "The cousin of Uncle Lin's family, isn't she the niece of the empress? The grandmother of the cousin is the eldest daughter." Princess, the emperor's own younger sister, is there any more respectable relative? If you can ask your auntie, go to the palace and ask for a letter, it will be accurate."

Everyone stopped talking for a while, the Lin family is indeed a good relative of the family, the key is that the Lin family is not willing to associate with the Jia family.After a while, Jia Lian said, "I was ordered by my second uncle to inquire about the Zhen family from my cousin. I don't think so. Cousin Lin is not in the mansion. He came back to Beijing from Ping'an Prefecture. Long live God gave me leave. My cousin said Going to another hospital to recuperate."

Jia Zheng stroked his beard and said, "Lian'er, you husband and wife and Jinyu have always been good friends. Can you let your daughter-in-law go to Lin's house? There is always a way to do it? As long as you know if your mother is safe, old lady, Madam, our whole family, young and old, can rest assured.

"For such a thing, if my cousin doesn't nod, I'm afraid my cousins ​​won't agree." Jia Lian didn't want to take the job, so he shirked, "Although I haven't met my cousins, I've heard from my family that they mentioned it. Pai, how can you be willing to deal with the outside affairs arbitrarily?"

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you know where the Lin family's other courtyard is, even if you go to the other courtyard first, it's okay. Just ask him to help out for the sake of his relatives? If the empress is in the palace Anyway, our family..."

Jia She's eyes flashed, and he said in a tone, "So, Lian'er will go away tomorrow. It's just that Jinyu's situation in our house back then is well known to everyone, and whenever there is something to do, we will ask his leader." , Jinyu's temperament is not easy to provoke and beg, but now things are anxious, what can I do, I just have to try it with a thick skin."

===========

In the middle of the night, everyone dispersed, Jia Zhen went back to the East Mansion, and called Jia Rong, "What are you talking about the Lin family today?"

Jia Zhen stayed up in the middle of the night, her whole body was sore, Jia Rong walked around behind the chair and kneaded her father's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Look, there's no way out there, isn't Biao Lin a ready-made solution? It's just that there was some suspicion before. , the former son's grandfather passed away, and he gave a letter to the Lin family, and the Lin family also sent people to send a sacrificial ceremony, which shows that the Lin family still cares about their relatives. Now, when the fire is imminent, who will you ask if you don't ask the Lin family? , is also a serious niece of the Lin family. Could it be that Uncle Lin will see that something happens to the Jia family? I heard from Mrs. Hu that the aunt of the Lin family is very dignified. When she just got married, she came to greet the old lady. Our girl can compare. Father and aunt have such noble backgrounds, if you want to help, you can do it."

Jia Zhen waved her hand, closed her eyes and said, "Hmph, you must be talking in your sleep! The old man's words are rough but they are the truth. The Lin family is not easy to get along with."

Jia Rong said with a smile, "This Uncle Lin, my son has never met. Not to mention anything else, luck is better than the world, and the fame is not bad. It is this aunt married by Uncle Lin, who has such a prominent background. , People say that being a princess and concubine is easy. My son thought, Uncle Lin Biao has done well as an official, maybe he has delayed the blessing of his aunt's natal family. Looking at the face, Uncle Lin is not as good-looking as Second Uncle Bao. Yes, why, Uncle Bao didn’t have such luck. Uncle Bao’s official Yue’s family has copied it again, and he’s involved in lawsuits, what will happen in the future?”

"Luck?" As soon as Jia Zhen stretched out her hand, Jia Rong hurriedly served tea. Jia Zhen drank half a cup and sighed, "Not only good luck, but also better means." Jia Lian came back like a dog after being scolded by the Lin family, and Jia Zhen was not willing to deal with Lin Jinyu. This kid is really too cunning, and he doesn't show respect to everyone. Turning faces is faster than turning books. People are not easy to provoke.Jia Zhen glanced sideways at Jia Rong for a while, and said admonishingly, "As long as you are smart and quick-talking, who can miss the Lin family? But look at the elder and second master Lian'er in the mansion, who took the initiative to mention it? From now on, you should still wink If you talk again, there is no need to offend others."

Jia Rong only said yes, but she still didn't believe it.

Xu Ziwen had been gone for three days before Tu Jingchen realized that he had been poached. When he learned that Lin Jinyu followed Xu Ziwen to another courtyard, Tu Jingchen wished he could strangle Lin Jinyu to death, this bastard who was both an eyesore and a wink.

Tu Jingchen turned his head and scolded Tu Wenfei, "You are a man, show some courage! I don't want to take care of your affairs, but you have to teach Lin Jinyu some manners. Your uncle loves him and urged your uncle to go to another courtyard, so the capital can't accommodate him anymore!"

"Father, my son is incompetent, so I can't control it." Tu Wenfei was not in a good mood, and replied with a stern face.Xindao, if you have the ability, you should call your little uncle back, isn't it the one who came to pick Jinyu at this moment, he still wants Jinyu to come back sooner.

Tu Jingchen was almost pushed out by Tu Wenfei, and he glared at him, "Are you complaining about me?"

"I don't dare." Tu Wenfei bowed and said, "Uncle treats Jinyu like a son, it doesn't matter if you get closer."

son!Tu Jingchen is furious, I have never seen any of you so close to me!Tu Jingchen threw Tu Wenfei out, and took time to go to another courtyard.

Lin Jinyu was having dinner with Xu Ziwen. When he saw Tu Jingchen coming, he hurriedly got up to salute. Tu Jingchen had just placed a big crab on the table, and said with a smile, "You guys would enjoy drinking, and I'm also empty."

While talking, Gao Song, Tu Jingchen's personal eunuch, had presented a new pair of bowls and chopsticks, and Tu Jingchen said, "Jinyu, sit down, this is Rui Zhuo's courtyard, and I am a guest." To Xu Ziwen , "You are not well, eat less of these cold things." Lin Jinyu glanced at him from the corner of his eye, with unhappy eyes and brows.

Lin Jinyu touched Liuyun Wanfu's silver jug ​​that was warm in the water, got up to pour wine and said, "There are hot dishes in the kitchen, but the crabs are not good when they are cold, so I will eat this first, that's it, old Zhou Let’s pass on the dishes. In the past, my husband liked to eat crabs every Double Ninth Festival, so it’s fine.”

"Shut up! I didn't ask you, where did you get such nonsense!" Tu Jingchen gave Lin Jinyu a look, and asked, "What wine?"

"Chrysanthemum wine." Lin Jinyu was not happy to have Jingchen come. Xu Ziwen took a sip of the wine and asked with a smile, "This year's Double Ninth Festival, Jinyu spent it outside, and I will make it up for him again. Why are you here? I brought Jinyu Yu came to the other courtyard for a few days and then went back, there are many things going on in the palace at this time, if you can't find you, it will be another trouble."

"I've made all the arrangements." Tu Jingchen smiled, "Stay with you for a few days."

Tu Jingchen was so kind to Xu Ziwen, considerate and gentle, and obedient to everything. Every time Lin Jinyu wanted to speak, he was stared back by Tu Jingchen before he could speak, which made him so depressed that he ate two plates of crabs. I couldn't help but asked Xu Ziwen in a low voice, "Is it okay for him to eat so much?"

"It's okay, Jinyu used to eat it every day when the crab was fat." Xu Ziwen smiled and touched Lin Jinyu's head, "Come, have a drink with me."

Lin Jinyu pursed her mouth, bubbling sourly, "Sir, ignore me when he sees the emperor."

One sentence made Tu Jingchen amused, and Tu Jingchen said complacently, "Speaking of which, I have always felt sorry for you. You just got married, and the newlyweds sent you to Ping'an Prefecture. When you come back this time, you He is good at reunion with your daughter-in-law, always clinging to Rui Zhuo, what does it look like? A man should put his family business first. Now that you are older, you should also learn to socialize outside, meet some friends, and often talk about economics and the country. It’s a big event, so you can do your best for me. I see that you are almost resting, so you can go to work tomorrow, how can you be productive when you stay at home every day. "

"Your Majesty, I haven't taken care of you yet." Lin Jinyu rolled up her sleeves, and put her delicate arms in front of Tu Jingchen, "Look at how thin I am, this time I really hurt my anger, I need to make up for it." Bu, what should I do if there is some root cause of the disease? These days, I feel dizzy from time to time, Master Xu said that it is because of my lack of energy and blood, malnutrition, and worrying too much."

Tu Jingchen took a look, "Okay, let it go. I don't have many things every day, and I don't go on a long-distance business trip like you, and it seems like I lost half my life. It seems to be mean to you. You have to support me. Don't worry, let's be more peaceful, I'm running around all day, how can I look healthy?" Lin Jinyu used to be round and round, but this time she's very thin, and her face is a little pale, not as rosy as before.Tu Jingchen was also a little reluctant, the courtiers are here to use, but they can't be used to death.Lin Jinyu was still young, and Tu Jingchen still wanted to bring him up for a better life, so he didn't want to be tired out, so he said kindly, "Then I'll give you another month's leave, so you can grow up better."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Lin Jinyu happily agreed.

Steward Zhou of the other hospital repeatedly poked his head at the door, Lin Jinyu smiled, "Old Zhou may have something to do, I'll go and have a look."

Xu Ziwen rinsed his mouth and ordered people to leave the table, "Gao Song, go ask him what's the matter?"

Gao Song passed by, and Manager Zhou rubbed his hands and sighed, "Oh, Mr. Gao, Second Master Lian from the Rongguo Mansion outside came to look for Young Master Jinyu, begged for a long time, said it was an urgent matter, and is waiting at the concierge, please help Tell Young Master Jinyu, don't delay the matter of Young Master Jinyu."

Gao Song smiled, "If it's someone else, I don't care, Mr. Lin is fine with it." Turning around and turning back, at that time, several people were already drinking tea and talking, and Gao Song replied honestly.

Lin Jinyu held the teacup and frowned, and it took a long time for her eyebrows to relax, she pursed her lips, and said with a smile, "Uncle Gao, please go and talk to Lao Zhou, just say Mr. Chuan's words, and tell Second Master Lian that Uncle Lin is now I'm not in good health, I was exhausted in Ping'an Prefecture, and I specially went to another hospital for recuperation, and I vomited half a basin of blood last night..."

Gao Song sneered, and corrected, "Master Lin, how can someone's blood be counted."

"Oh, let's say that I vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, tossed and turned in the middle of the night, and didn't drink medicine until dawn to rest. If there is nothing important, there is no need to wake up Mr. Lin. If there is something important, just Second Master Lian, please leave a message or a letter and pass it on to Uncle Lin later." Lin Jinyu said, "If Second Master Lian asks about any illness, he will say that he has seen the imperial physician several times, but you don't know what's going on inside. "

Gao Song went.Tu Jingchen asked, "This Second Master Lian should be your cousin."

"Well, I don't need to see him to know why he's here." Lin Jinyu walked over to appreciate a pot of chrysanthemums on the desk, pinched off the dead leaves, and laughed at himself, "It's a good thing they don't think of me, and it's coming at this juncture Why? The Baoyu cousin of my second uncle’s family ordered a girl from the Zhen family. Before they got married, the Zhen family got into a lawsuit and ransacked the house. I don’t know what will happen in the future? The Rongguo Mansion is not worried. Yes, this is to ask me for news. Maybe there are other things, but this has nothing to do with me, don't ask."

Tu Jingchen pretended to sigh, "Speaking of it, it is also a trouble in my heart. Concubine Yi finally had a child, and she lost it. Because Concubine Yi's heart has been grieving for several days, causing old illnesses, I spared the people from Rongguo Mansion Visiting the palace, maybe they were anxious and had no news, so they did everything possible to find you here."

Lin Jinyu broke off a branch of chrysanthemum, held it in her hand, lowered her head and sniffed it, and pursed her lips and said, "The one who seriously lost his son is not in a hurry. They don't know why they are in a hurry." Grinning his teeth at Tu Jingchen With a smile, "The emperor has grace, why not reward the ministers together, and the ministers will also be the happy birds in return."

Tu Jingchen said, "I see that you are not in good health, half of which is because you are too smart. Since you want this Qiaozong, come to work tomorrow."
