Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

After Guan Shi and Xiao Guan Shi returned home, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had always been harmonious, had a dispute, and Guan Shi firmly refused to agree to send Shen Man to be a concubine.

But Xiao Guan said: "Sister Man is called to spend her whole life in the temple? After marrying into the Jiang family, even if she is a concubine, as long as she gives birth to a son and raises her son, she can live alone. Sister Man's The days are coming to an end, does Auntie want no one to offer incense after Sister Man's death?"

The little Guan called his aunt, but he didn't call his mother. Guan fell silent for a while, and she said: "You write to your father and your brother, asking them to go to Beijing to help Sister Man's wedding, even if it's not a big deal, you can do it. I can't ask the Jiang family to bully me. Now that the family is separated, Tan'er and Wan'er are brought to the capital, and we will settle down in the capital. If we have no money to spend, we will ask Shen Wuniang to ask for food. I'm not happy. You can't make her feel better."

Guan's eyes were fierce, and he didn't want to give up. The little Guan cried, "You make Wu Niang feel bad, and Mrs. Jiang can make Sister Man feel bad. Why bother, I can't make Sister Man suffer. "

While the two were talking, Shen Aixiao came back, slowly, with the appearance of Tian She Weng: "I'm back? How did you say it? Are you going to be a concubine or send it to the temple?"

Unexpectedly, he looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

Guan Shi gritted her teeth: "Shen Aixiao, you have no heart, and Sister Man is your granddaughter!"

Shen Aixiao sneered: "My heart and soul are all on Yunzhi and Siniang. You killed them, and my heart and soul are gone. You are doing it yourself, don't blame me."

Shen Aixiao walked into the study under the dumbfounded little Guan Shi, but Guan Shi threw a teacup hard, but couldn't say a word.

Shen Yueming's illness has alarmed many people, Chen Yi also came to visit in person, Shen Yueming felt very guilty: "Since we came here as a big family, it has caused a lot of trouble."

Chen Yi said with a smile: "One family does not talk about two families. What troubles are you talking about now?" He said again: "Your children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so you don't have to worry about it. It's important to be your farmer. .”

Shen Yueming couldn't help smiling wryly, and asked Chen Yi to take care of Shen Aixiao, and Chen Yi readily agreed.

The second prince also came here on behalf of the emperor. After a little inquiry, he also learned the inside story. He went back and told the emperor. No more, Mr. Wei wants to open an academy. Right under his nose, there is no fear of him causing any disturbances, this matter has finally been satisfactorily resolved."

The second prince smiled and said: "Mr. Shen asked me to ask you for a favor for him. Please use Jiang Dao again. If you reward female family members at that time, please don't forget Shen Man."

The emperor laughed: "Yueming is a loyal person, you can tell him to rest assured, I will accept this matter, and Shen Man will never be at a disadvantage."

Seeing that winter has entered, the emperor is very happy.Instructed the second prince: "On the day of the winter solstice, I will leave it to you to hold a banquet for civil and military officials and female family members. It must be lively and lively."

The second prince agreed with a smile.

There was nothing serious about Shen Yueming's health, after he got up, he ordered someone to pack up and return to Suzhou, and he didn't want to stay any longer, saying that he happened to be returning to Suzhou for the New Year, but Shen's persuasion was fruitless.He had no choice but to help pack things, and even Lin Wanru followed suit.

mid november.Chen Yongming, Mrs. Shen took Chen Ruiwen and Lin Wanru to the pier to send off Shen Yueming's family, while Shen Aixiao and Mrs. Guan moved back to the old house. Firstly, Shen Yueming was afraid that they would be wronged, and secondly, the old house was empty even if it was empty. Well, someone has to look after it.

Shen Aixiao was busy with opening the bookstore, Guan Shi and Xiao Guan Shi were staring at Sixi Hutong, Cheng Shi was beaming and started to arrange Jiang Dao's marriage. Although He Zhishu followed, the wedding was not held and the house was not consummated. Only when He Zhishu enters the door can Shen Man be allowed to enter the door. This is also what Cheng said at the time.

Finally, Lin Wanru didn't have to run around, and asked Chen Ruiwen about Wanlin when he was free. Chen Ruiwen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have sent someone to Yangzhou to tell Lin Songcheng, Lin Songcheng will not suffer."

He also talked about the fact that he and the second prince set a bait to lure the prince into the bait: "...Wan Lin is shrewd, but the prince is insatiable. As long as he speaks, Wan Lin has nothing to do. When the time comes, they will wait and see." It's worthless."

Seeing that Chen Ruiwen had other plans, Lin Wanru was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Ruiwen was amused when he saw it, and said, "Lu Ni said that you haven't eaten the stewed tonic for the past two days. Are you feeling better?"

Ever since Lin Wanru fainted, Chen Ruiwen ordered the small kitchen to bring in different stewed tonics every day. Lin Wanru didn't feel anything at first, but then she got impatient to eat it.

Lin Wanru complained: "You just told me to eat, and I gained a lot of weight."

Chen Ruiwen pinched her waist nervously: "Why do I feel like I haven't gained any flesh? Huh? Tell me to take a look, where is the fat?"

He caught Lin Wanru in his arms and started to move his hands and feet. Lin Wanru was ticklish and hurriedly escaped. The two started playing on the kang, and the serving girl hurriedly retreated.

Chen Ruiwen looked at the person in his arms, with fair skin, bright eyes, red lips, and stared at him coquettishly with his mouth pouted, Chen Ruiwen couldn't help feeling numb, and kissed him gently like treating a treasure. Then I remembered the soft and soft moaning sound...

Shi Aizhu, Liu Xuan and Shui Rou made an appointment to visit Lin Wanru at Chen's house together. Two of the three were princesses, and one was the prince's younger sister. It was an official visit. The Chen family valued it very much, and the Shen family was grand and enthusiastic. of hospitality.

Shi Aizhu was delicate and naive, and said to Shen Shi: "Don't worry about it, we are just like our sisters, we are not outsiders, you are so polite, we can't feel sorry."

Shen said with a smile: "Since the princess said so, then I will be presumptuous for a while, and I won't accompany you anymore. You young sisters can go talk together."

Lin Wanru took the three of them to Taoranju to entertain them. Shuirou looked at the unique decorations in the house and exclaimed, "It's different when you're married."

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "Since it's good to marry, you should get married soon."

Liu Xuan laughed and said, "Don't tell me, her brother is just trying to figure it out."

Shui Rou was not shy either, and said: "I have neither father nor mother. Although my brother helped me arrange the marriage, he still wanted me to nod at the end. I am not afraid, but Aizhu and Xuan'er, the two eldest princesses often get together these days , isn’t it just about your marriage?”

Liu Xuan giggled and said: "This princess has a very high vision, if it's not for both talent and appearance, I would not like it."

Shi Aizhu didn't speak, Lin Wanru hurriedly changed the subject when she saw it: "In a few days my cousin will get married, and there are not many people from my cousin's natal house, so you have to join in the fun."

Shui Rou smiled and said: "It's natural, when the time comes, I will ask my brother to give me a big gift too, it will be more respectable."

Shi Aizhu and Liu Xuan also agreed one after another, and Liu Xuan asked about Shen Man curiously: "What's going on, we're all confused, please tell us quickly."

Lin Wanru said vaguely: "There's nothing to say, so don't ask me so hard."

Shi Aizhu refused, and pulled Lin Wanru to rub for a while, but Lin Wanru refused to say: "Anyway, you will all know when the time comes."

Shuirou really didn't have much interest in this matter, so she pulled Shi Aizhu away, and said with great interest: "Let's go to the bookstore opened by Mr. Shen. I also specially took my poem draft, and I want to ask Mr. Shen to help me correct it. Woolen cloth."

Liu Xuan also nodded again and again, Lin Wanru had no choice but to agree, and replied to Shen, and followed them to West Street.

Shen Aixiao named the bookstore Qiudao, and the black lacquered signboard was engraved with the simple and unsophisticated two large characters of seeking Tao, simple and chic, Shui Rou admired Shen Aixiao, looking at the signboard was full of reverence.

Lin Wanru asked someone to talk, and it happened that Shen Aixiao was there, so he sent away the idlers and invited the four girls to come in and talk.

There are bookshelves in the shop, the books have not been put on them yet, but the small courtyard behind is tidy and tidy. Shen Aixiao is wearing coarse clothes and is very happy for their arrival: "I have never done business before, and I am worried. Well, just so you guys are here, give me an idea."

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "Didn't you invite the shopkeeper?" Shen Aixiao was unhappy when she mentioned this, and said: "Those shopkeepers talk about how to make money, it's really vulgar."

Liu Xuan laughed: "Don't you open the shop to make money?"

Shen Aixiao stroked his beard and said: "Money is of course to be earned, but it can't just be for making money. Then I simply hand it over to the shopkeeper. What am I going to do?"

Lin Wanru thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Your place is quite spacious, why don't you buy more tables and benches, and invite students to discuss knowledge on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, which will be beneficial to your learning , Second, knowing that you teach knowledge, everyone will flock to it, and when the time comes, people will come and go, are you afraid that the book will not be sold?"

Shen Aixiao's eyes lit up, Shi Aizhu clapped her hands and said with a smile: "This is the best, Mr. Shen, just do it this way."

Shuirou smiled and said: "I'm afraid that all the students in the capital will come to join us, not only Guangzi, but as long as they are scholars, I am afraid that they will come in to listen to your teaching."

Shen Aixiao couldn't stop nodding and said yes, and praised Lin Wanru: "You really have some brains about doing business."

Lin Wanru smiled and said nothing, no matter how indifferent and ridiculous Shen Aixiao was, he was my aunt's biological father, if he was poor, my aunt would inevitably bear the reputation of being unfilial, so I would naturally help if I could.

Shui Rou took the collection of poems and asked Shen Aixiao to teach them. Shen Aixiao looked at it and said with a smile: "It's very good for women in the boudoir to write such poems. Although the words and ideas are a bit green, it's because you are young and inexperienced." , but compared with Daiyu, it lacks aura, have you read Daiyu's poems? There are few ordinary men who can compare."

Shui Rou smiled and said: "Of course I have read it, and I admire it very much, but it's a pity that she rarely touches these things after she got married."

Shen Aixiao couldn't help shaking her head when she heard this, and discussed with Shui Rou for a long time on how to write poems, Liu Xuan could still interject a few words, Shi Aizhu and Lin Wanru looked at each other, they sat for a while, then ran to the front to watch the excitement .
