Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

The Lin family received the second imperial decree to come to the capital, Lin Daiyu marrying Simu Li, the third son of Dong'an County King's patrolling soldier Ma Simuli.To put it simply, this is the case, but the imperial decree is very long, and it is full of praise. It makes Lin Jinyu a little curious, do I know them?

However, this is a great thing, Lin Jinyu generously rewarded the eunuch who delivered the decree, and then went to the inner house to congratulate her sister.The maids and nuns all looked happy, and Daiyu's elder sister's face was both happy and ashamed. Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "This is a happy event. Everyone in the house will be given an extra month's monthly money and rice. Weiyu and the two The aunt has done a good job in serving her sister, and I will add another month."

Everyone thanked them, Lin Daiyu glanced at her bright eyes, and said with a smile, "You're making fun of me again, aren't you?"

"No, I'm really happy for my sister." Lin Jinyu smiled and bowed, "It's just that the needles and threads that Xiao Ding will use to return the gift are also starting to be prepared, as well as the clothes and jewelry that my sister will wear that day, and other sisters. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Lin Daiyu was happy in her heart, and her appearance became a little brighter, and she said with a smile, "You know all these things, who did you learn from?"

"I don't know anything other than having children." Lin Jinyu was talking to her sister, and agate came in through the curtain outside, and replied, "Master, the prince of Dong'an County and Mr. Mu are here, and the housekeeper is sitting in the flower hall to accompany you." , please come over, sir."

The speed is really fast, Lin Jinyu smiled, "Take care of the girl well, even though you are busy these days, don't hurt yourself."

Wei Yu and the others responded softly.

Mu Jiu is the eldest son, so it makes sense to send him out. There are only two siblings left in the Lin family. No matter in terms of seniority or status, Mu Jiu is the most suitable candidate.

Mu Li was by Xu Ziwen's side since he was a child, and the two brothers didn't have much contact with each other. However, compared to the other younger brothers who were incompetent, Mu Jiu still admired Mu Li more and was willing to take care of him.

Lin Jinyu came in with a smile on his face. Since he was in-laws, Mu Jiu got up from his chair because of his noble status. He supported Lin Jinyu who was about to salute, and said with a smile, "My dear brother, you don't need to be polite, we are all family members, so why bother to talk heresy."

Mu Li introduced from the side, "This is my elder brother, Mu Jiu."

Everyone sat down, and the little maid served tea again. Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "I've heard about it, but I just didn't have the chance to see it. The county prince's family is noble, and I never imagined that our two families are related by marriage?" We didn't want to climb up on you, what the emperor meant.

Mu Jiu said with a smile, "I've heard that my virtuous brother behaves well at such a young age, seeing him today, he really lives up to his reputation."

"Where, the handsome and unparalleled elegance of the son of the world opened my eyes."

"My virtuous brother is absurd."

"Jinyu, we're here to discuss the date." Mu Li angrily interrupted the disgusting compliments of the two. It's the first time I've seen him so much. The [-]th day of the first month and the [-]th day of the next month are good days, what do you mean?"

Both Lin Jinyu and Mu Jiu choked, are you too anxious?Mu Jiu coughed, and said, "That's right, after Mu Li received the imperial decree, he hurried to wait and see the date, and roughly decided on these two, which one is more suitable, my dear brother? The county palace is ready."

"Well, it should be the fifteenth day of next month. I didn't expect my sister to get married so soon, and I haven't started preparing things yet." Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "Xiao Ding is okay, I think, my sister will only be fifteen next year, so I will be like this A sister, can the date of marriage be delayed?"

Before Mu Jiu could speak, Mu Li said, "It can't be later than the middle of next year."

Lin Jinyu looked at Mu Jiu's face, mourned for him for 3 minutes, and said with a smile, "Brother Mu, my family has to measure the room and build furniture, and I don't have all the dowry ready. Besides, it's the hottest month of the year, and my sister is weak , I’m afraid I can’t bear it. It’s better to be in October, when the golden autumn is full of fruits, it’s also a good sign.”

Mu Jiu said, "I don't need to argue about this, I have to take Geng Tie to vote for, and I didn't just say it casually."

Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "That's right. Then Xiao Ding will be on the fifteenth day of next month."

Mu Jiu said softly, "My dear brother, we are in-laws, if I have something to say, I'll ask you a question. After all, Rongguo Mansion is my natal family. Isn't this small town crowded with people?"

Mu Jiu put it more tactfully, Dong'an County King's Mansion and Rongguo Mansion are family friends, Dong'an County King and Fujin have no dissatisfaction with this marriage, Lin's family background is not bad, moreover, Dong'an County King is optimistic about Lin Jinyu, and he is his son Asked to get married.For the sake of formality, Mu Jiu was sent here in person.One is to respect, and the other is to make peace between the two families, and to test Lin Jinyu's tone.

Lin Jinyu lowered her eyes and smiled, took a sip of the tea cup, and said, "The county prince's mansion and the Rongguo mansion have a family friendship, and I know the son's kindness. It's just that they made such a scandal, and it's my sister's fault." On me. I have done the utmost of benevolence and righteousness. They feel that my family is noble, so they don't take my Lin family seriously. I am not easy to talk to every time I am in trouble. Don't worry about the small things. Marriage, get married Relatives with the surname, my family also has many old friends, so it will never be deserted."

Mu Jiu twitched his brows, and said with a smile, "Although we are family friends in the Rongguo Mansion, we are closer to my virtuous brother. If my virtuous brother is wronged, I will not just let it go. If my virtuous brother is useful to me in the future, Don't be reserved and polite." Mu Jiu had dealt with that family in the Rongguo Mansion before, and he knew who was strong and who was weak in just three sentences.He was indeed ordered by his father to talk about reconciliation, but if Lin Jinyu really took advantage of the situation to reconcile with the Rongguo Mansion, Mu Jiu felt that Lin Jinyu was weak and easy to bully, and not worth getting close to.

Lin Jinyu also laughed when he heard this, "That's natural. Our family only has me and my sister, and I don't have any brothers. Isn't Shizi and Brother Mu just like my own brothers? It's the first time I've met you today. My son, I feel very close, it is already noon, I have ordered someone to prepare a table, we brothers should get close to each other."

Mu Liduan sat, listening to the two of them coming and going, sighing silently, alas, in order to get married, I had to endure it.

Compared to the festive celebrations of the Lin family, the atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion was low-key, and the servants were all cautious, for fear that they would accidentally offend the master.

Wang Ziteng sent Zhou Rui to bring back a letter. In the letter, Wang Ziteng spoke harshly, counting the number of unkind and unfilial crimes committed by Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang, saying that the Wang family dared not recognize such unworthy descendants again, and only waited for Wang Ziteng to return. Beijing began to deal with it.

Another queen's decree, Jia Yuanchun violated the palace regulations, reduced his concubine to a concubine, moved out of Fengzao Palace and moved to Xiangyi Palace.

Mrs. Wang fainted when she heard the news. She had a high fever and talked nonsense, so the public trial in the ancestral hall had to be postponed.Jia Baoyu cried and pleaded with Jia's mother in Tanchun. Jia's mother sighed and ordered someone to take the post to invite the imperial physician.

Wang Xifeng was a well-informed person, so she went into the room and reported to Jiamu about Lin Daiyu's marriage to the palace of Dong'an County.

Jia Mu was silent for a while, and said, "Madam Lin is a lucky one, and this is also the emperor's kindness. You and them have always been good friends. Go and ask if there is any help, and then prepare a congratulatory gift."

Wang Xifeng nodded in agreement.She thinks very highly of herself, and never dreamed of being married to the county prince's mansion. Although she is not a son-in-law, this marriage is not bad, and the emperor decreed the marriage, which is very dignified.

After Wang Xifeng left, Jia's mother sighed faintly. She originally wanted Lin Daiyu to match Jia Baoyu. First, she came to comfort her daughter's spirit. "Thirdly, Lin Jinyu is also promising, and will definitely be able to help Jia Baoyu in the future.Unexpectedly, being completely humiliated by all these right and wrong, why talk about marriage again?

When Lin Jinyu made this matter a big deal, Mother Jia's face became anxious, but her heart was still stable, thinking that with the help of the historian Wang's family, nothing big would happen.Now the mansion is peaceful, but the empress in the palace has been troubled, and the family has a reputation of being unkind.Mother Jia gritted her molars, she had to start with the Lin family if she wanted to restore Rongguo Mansion's reputation.This small appointment is an opportunity!

Lin Jinyu didn't want to have anything to do with the Rongguo Mansion anymore, but the Rongguo Mansion was determined not to let go, and wanted to save face from him. There is no such cheap thing in the world.

As soon as he entered Xu's mansion, Baozi congratulated him first, and Lin Jinyu said with a smile, "We are all happy together, it seems that we all know, Uncle Baozi, is Mr. here?"

"I'm reading in the water pavilion, Master Chen is also here." Baozi smiled, "Young Master Jinyu, go by yourself, there are no outsiders."

Lin Jinyu snickered, half covered her mouth, and asked ghostly, "Aren't you busy this time?"

Baozi smiled, "Let the young master know that you are joking in private, he will not spare you, go quickly."

Lin Jinyu went away, Xu Ziwen in the room had a cold face, only when he saw Lin Jinyu showed a gentle smile, and said with a smile, "This is to announce the good news to me."

Chen Jingyuan's complexion was not very good, but Lin Jinyu always ignored him, and sat beside Xu Ziwen affectionately and said, "No, I wanted to come here earlier. Brother Mu took his son to my house to discuss Xiao Ding's matter, so he delayed gone."

"You guys are doing well." Xu Ziwen smiled, "It's not common to see people as infatuated as Mu Li in this world. When will you decide?"

"The fifteenth of next month."

Xu Ziwen nodded, "Understood, how did you arrange it? It doesn't take a lot of ostentation, the family just needs to have a good time. It's just that the Dong'an Palace must send a female relative over there. Have you thought about who to invite? "

Lin Jinyu pouted and shook her head, "No. The second cousin of the Rongguo Mansion passed by today, and she said she was willing to help, but I didn't want to use her. She thought she could use this matter to manipulate me, because she wanted to borrow my sister Xiaoding Reconstruction is good, there is no such cheap thing, they are delusional. Do you know any suitable people?"

"Are you here to ask me for advice?" Xu Ziwen pinched Lin Jinyu's face with a smile, and asked, "What is your plan first?"

"At home, my father often mentioned Mr. Xu Shuo," Lin Jinyu said, "Mr. Xu and my father got along very well. They were both in the same year. They also had some contacts after coming to Beijing. Last time, I met by chance in the Ministry of Industry." On the side of Mr. Xu, he is very kind to me. I want to ask Mrs. Xu for help."

Xu Ziwen took a look at Lin Jinyu and said with a smile, "Your father has many old friends in Beijing. If you ask me, the biggest advantage of Mr. Xu is that he was born in the Hanlin Academy, a figure of Qingliu, entered the cabinet as a prime minister, and has an excellent reputation among scholars. You If you can invite him, firstly, it will bring the friendship between the two families closer; secondly, it will be beneficial for you to become an official in the future, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Lin Jinyu knelt on the couch and squeezed Xu Ziwen's shoulders, and praised with a smile, "Mr. is really famous." There was no embarrassment of being broken by humanity.

Xu Ziwen enjoyed Lin Jinyu's service, closed his eyes and said warmly, "You have a good idea, but it doesn't do much good for your sister. Daiyu is not bad in appearance and family, the only shortcoming is that she lost her mother. It is definitely inappropriate for no one to teach you about tedious human relations and women's affairs. It is easy for Mrs. Xu to show up when she is young. The Xu family has friendship with your father and will take care of you. If you go any further, you will lose your sense of style. In my opinion, are you willing to let your sister worship a god-in-law?"

Lin Jinyu frowned, "This, I don't know. But what you did is not a kiss, can you teach my sister sincerely?"

"If you agree, I'll arrange it and guarantee a thousand." Xu Ziwen patted Lin Jinyu's hand, looked at Lin Jinyu, and asked, "How is it?"

Lin Jinyu turned her head and smiled, "It's because Mr. Chou didn't get married, and I didn't have a serious teacher's wife, that's why I suffered here. Sir, is it from your family?"

"I have a lot of family members, and several relatives can be selected. In the capital, Concubine Nan'an is my direct aunt. If I ask her to recognize Daiyu as her granddaughter, she will definitely be willing. This will also help Daiyu's status. How come Like?" Xu Ziwen asked with a smile.

Lin Jinyu fainted for a moment, rubbed her forehead and said in surprise, "Sir, why do you have all these powerful relatives in your family?"

Xu Ziwen said with a smile, "King Nan'an has no real power now, not to mention power, wealth and honor. If you agree, I will walk around."

Lin Jinyu leaned over, kissed him, and smiled, "Of course I agree, this is a great thing. Sir, it's fortunate that you don't have a son, or I'd be jealous to death."

Chen Jingyuan said with a cold face, "How old is it that you are not steady yet."

"Uncle Chen, you are jealous, do you want me to give you a sweet kiss too." Lin Jinyu almost danced, put his arms around Xu Ziwen's neck and smiled, "Sir, you are not interested in me, are you so kind to me?"

Xu Ziwen was strangled backwards, hit Lin Jinyu once, and said with a smile, "Did I treat you badly before?"

"Of course, you also framed me to be beaten by my father, and often sarcastically beat me. Fortunately, I have self-confidence, or I would have been in a shadow." Lin Jinyu took out one casually, and smiled, "Tell me, what is good for me?" What kind of attempt. I have no other advantages, but I am both talented and beautiful, and I am inevitably admired by others, I am used to it."

"It's disgusting, get out, it's hard to strangle." Xu Ziwen pushed Lin Jinyu away, straightened his clothes, and said with a smile, "You also said that I don't have a son, and you are still counting on you to take care of me in the future."

Although Lin Jinyu didn't know what Xu Ziwen was up to, it was really a good thing.What is Mr. Guan's plan? Anyway, it won't hurt him.Lin Jinyu sat with a smile until the evening, had dinner again, and then went home.
