Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Jiang Wenming didn't take it seriously: "If she gets married and obeys her husband, can she still turn the world upside down?"

Aunt Shen said: "This is Dao'er's whole life, and he will live in the future. He has to nod to make it happen. You can't just say what you say."

Mrs. Zhuang heard what Aunt Shen said about Jiang Wenming's intentions, and she was silent for a long time. Aunt Shen was a little ashamed, and explained: "This was not my cousin's idea, it was his master Wei Junzi who instigated it..."

Mrs. Zhuang sighed, waved her hand and said: "Wu Niang, don't say anything, no matter who's idea, this is the retribution of the Shen family. At the beginning, the siblings sent you to be a concubine, and now Sister Man is going to Jiang's house to be a concubine." I'm a concubine, so what you plant, what you get, you can't blame others."

Aunt Shen was surprised: "Are you really going to marry Sister Man as a concubine?"

Mrs. Zhuang shook her head: "Sister Man is the granddaughter of Erfang, so it depends on what Erfang means."

Guan Shi was furious when he heard this, he slapped the table and shouted: "Shen Wuniang must have instigated this!"

Mrs. Zhuang shouted: "Stop wronging a good person. Wu Niang almost offended Jiang Wenming for this matter. She was running back and forth, talking good things to both sides. What is it for? Wanru is still newly married, and she is also worried about this matter. If you help me with previous suspicions, you say this instead."

Guan snorted, "If Lin Wanru hadn't robbed Sister Man of her husband, Sister Man would not have become like this."

Mrs. Zhuang laughed back angrily: "Snatch? Everything comes first, first come first. The one who is engaged to Ruiwen is Wanru. If you didn't give up and insisted on bringing Sister Man over, how could Sister Man do this? If you think so, you I don’t care what I do, I don’t care, it will save people from inside and outside.”

Shen Aixiao didn't speak all the time, but now she said: "Sister-in-law, she can't speak, don't worry about it like her, you also watched Sister Man grow up, I really can't bear to let her be my concubine. My wife is fine too."

Zhuang said: "Jiang Wenming is holding his breath. How can he agree to it? If it's really not possible, I will take Sister Man back to Suzhou. As long as we cover it well, no one will know."

Shen Aixiao shook her head: "Sister Man can't pass her test, no matter how we arrange it, it's useless. These days, Sister Man doesn't eat or drink, except shed tears and is in a daze. If we find a marriage for her. She Still like this, how do you live this day?"

Mrs. Zhuang thought for a long time before saying: "Although Wu Niang feels sorry for Sister Man, but now that Jiang Wenming has decided to call Sister Man as a concubine, even ten cows will not be able to bring her back. The only way to start is from Jiang Dao. He also knows poetry. Book etiquette, as long as he lets go. Can Jiang Wenming refute his own son? So it's useless to ask Wu Niang for this matter, but to ask Wanru for help. She and Jiang Dao are cousins, and people of the same age have something to say. Conscience, let go. Let's persuade again, and it will probably be done."

Shen Aixiao hesitated a little, as if she was different from Wu Niang.No matter what, Wu Niang has lived in the Shen family for more than ten years. Even if she has hatred in her heart, her blood is cut continuously in her bones, and she will still help when encountering problems.

But Wanru is from the Lin family.He has not been in contact with the Shen family for more than ten years, if there is no blood relationship.Even if it's a stranger, Wanru doesn't care about the Shen family even more, and even speaks more honestly. Now that she asks to come to the door, can she agree?

Guan Shi also knew it well, and muttered: "How can she be so kind?"

Xiao Guan, who had been sitting by the side crying silently, said: "I'll beg her, as long as Sister Man can be well, I'll be willing to kneel down and kowtow to her three times."

Her voice was a little hoarse, since this happened, she hadn't had a good night's sleep, she was worried day and night, and her heart was even more remorseful, regretting that she shouldn't be greedy for the glory of the Chen family, marrying the Chen family, and hating Sister Baman even more When she brought her to the capital, not only did her marriage with the Chen family come to nothing, but she also killed Sister Man.

Mrs. Zhuang looked at Mrs. Guan with relief: "You don't have to make trouble, it seems that you are not such a frivolous child. I will accompany you when the time comes."

As the weather was getting colder, Lin Wanru cleaned out her and Chen Ruiwen's cages when she had time, and when the weather was good, she took out the thick clothes to dry in the sun.

Ever since Chen Ruiwen got an errand, he left early and returned late all day, but Lin Wanru could tell that he was very happy to be busy. Although he was newly married, Lin Wanru didn't feel left out, and sometimes talked with Shen , and sometimes joked with the sisters of the Chen family, and lived a very relaxed and comfortable life.

If it wasn't for Shen's sending someone to tell her, she would have almost forgotten about Shen Man. When she heard that Jiang Wenming proposed to ask Shen Man to be a concubine, Lin Wanru was also taken aback, and immediately said: "Uncle, how can you think about it?" It must be Mr. Wei's idea to come up with such a tricky idea."

Shen sighed and said: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Sister Man's mother is crying like something. She wants to come over and beg you to help persuade him to make peace. I think since we are relatives and elders, if we can ask for words, we will give them to you." Stop it, how sure do you think this is?"

Lin Wanru hesitated, because she was unfamiliar with the Shen family, Lin Wanru didn't hate much, and she sympathized with Shen Man's experience, but due to the grievances between the two families, it would be unavoidable to ask her to come forward to persuade Jiang Wenming now. It is suspected that the elbow is turned outward.

Seeing Lin Wanru's hesitation, Shen thought she was unwilling, and said: "I also know that you are embarrassed, you have to call uncle at the Jiang family, and now you are begging for Sister Man, it will make you hard to be a human being, but... "

Lin Wanru hurriedly said: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't know how to persuade my uncle. My uncle has been studying with Junzi Wei since he was a child. He is a teacher for a day and a father for the rest of his life. My uncle obeys Junzi Wei. Now Junzi Wei wants to call Shen If you make a fool of yourself, you will definitely not let go, and uncle will naturally not be able to object, think about it, my aunt will not be able to persuade you, and I am not sure if I say it."

Shen said: "I'm not asking you to persuade your uncle, you go to find out Jiang Dao's tone, after all, whether he is marrying a wife or taking a concubine, Jiang Dao has to live by himself, if he has an idea, can your uncle still object? "

Lin Wanru thought about it carefully, and readily agreed, and went to Sixi Hutong that afternoon.

Jiang Dao had been shut up in the study for the past few days, with a gloomy expression on his face. When he saw Lin Wanru coming over, he smiled wryly, "Are you also here to persuade me?"

Lin Wanru was surprised: "What do you advise me to do?"

Jiang Dao was silent for a while, and said: "Master and father insisted that Shen Man come in and be a concubine."

Lin Wanru said, "Then what does cousin mean?"

Jiang Dao's complexion looked even worse: "I don't know, I still can't believe it now, I drank too much that day, my consciousness is not clear, and I don't know what I did, wait until I wake up and see... I am a Man, you can understand what happened at a glance, I just thought it was the servant girl, and I was hesitant to come and tell you, and I was afraid of embarrassing you, but it turned out to be Shen Man."

Lin Wanru said: "This is the end of the matter, cousin, don't blame yourself, what you can do now is try to get the best of both worlds, Guan's viciousness has harmed both my aunt and my uncle, and I understand that my uncle hates her, but this has nothing to do with It doesn't matter to Shen Man. She is the eldest daughter of the Shen family. She has no good marriage to choose. Now she has fallen to this point. It's also a pity. What's the point of using a woman's life as an article? Cousin has read sage books for so many years, don't you even understand that a gentleman does not deceive a dark room?"

Jiang Dao looked also a little troubled, and said: "I don't understand, I think this matter is my fault, if there is no grievance between the two families, I ruined the innocence of the good girl, I am willing to make amends Even if I marry into the door as a wife, I have nothing to say, but it happens to be the granddaughter of the Guan family. Do you want me to marry her and treat her with respect as a guest? But if it is a concubine, it would be too cruel, I mean It turned out that I didn't mention it, the Shen family has a wide network, and when I return to Suzhou, I will be able to find a good marriage for Shen Man, who knows..."

Jiang Dao was slumped, completely lacking the vigor of the previous days, Lin Wanru couldn't bear to look at it, and said: "Cousin, there must be a solution to this matter, either you are wronged or Shen Man is wronged, Shen Man's expression is now Dazed, begging for death all day long, if cousin can save her life, the Shen family will be grateful, wouldn't it be good to turn hostility into jade?"

"You little girl is quite deceptive."

The door was pushed open, Junzi Wei walked in with a majestic expression, Jiang Dao was a little nervous: "Master."

He helped Junzi Wei to take his seat, and stood aside without speaking.

Lin Wanru looked at Wei Junzi coldly, Wei Junzi smiled and said: "You girl, why are you turning your elbows out to help outsiders? Instead of trying to persuade the Shen family, you might as well use your good eloquence to persuade the Shen family. Marry your daughter here, or it will become a thing of the past, but no one will really care about it."

Lin Wanru sneered: "Mr. Wei, why doesn't Mrs. Yang stay with Mrs. Yang, but instead eavesdrops on our brothers and sisters?"

Junzi Wei looked at Lin Wanru, with some doubts, Lin Wanru said: "This is our own family matter, don't bother the old man, if you are so worried, then I have to tell Mrs. Yang to find something for you busy."

Wei Junzi's face changed: "You invited my cousin here?"

Lin Wanru said: "How can I have such a great ability, old man, I'm talking to my cousin, please go ahead."

Junzi Wei looked at Lin Wanru, then at Jiang Dao who was expressionless, and left angrily.

Lin Wanru also didn't want to stay any longer, and said: "This is a lifelong matter for my cousin. My cousin should make up his own mind. Now my uncle ruined Shen Man's life for revenge and for that breath, but Shen Man came in. As a concubine, isn't your life also ruined? Cousin has to figure out what to do with this matter."

Lin Wanru bid farewell and left. As soon as he got into the carriage, Jiang Dao chased after him out of breath: "Cousin, I have figured it out. Just accompany me to Shen's house. I want to marry Shen Man."

Lin Wanru was surprised, but Jiang Dao looked resolute: "No matter what, I have to take responsibility, and I can't be a coward, even my cousin looks down on me."

Lin Wanru said: "Where is uncle..."

Jiang Dao said with a smile: "Don't worry, with the master here, father will just scold me and won't do anything."

Lin Wanru nodded, got into the carriage with Jiang Dao, went to the Shen family's old house, and asked someone to report to the Shen family's old house as soon as possible.
