Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

At night, Lin Daiyu woke up and saw Lin Wanru coming, she smiled weakly: "Wanru is here."

Lin Wanru looked at her worriedly, and asked how she was doing, while Jia Baoyu was sitting next to him, warming up the medicine and feeding her spoonful by spoonful. Seeing that he was careful, Lin Wanru was naturally relieved. It was late, so I said goodbye, saying that I would come back tomorrow.

Back in Chen's Mansion, Lin Wanru inevitably told Shen Shi about this again, and Shen Shi also sighed: "What a miserable child."

Lin Wanru said: "I just hope that Jia's family can figure it out and bring Sister Yingchun back sooner. Even if it's a divorce, it won't be difficult to find someone honest and honest. Why bother to bury your life there."

Shen said: "There are many places where the Jia family begs to protect the family. How can they be willing to part with this relative?"

Lin Wanru also lamented for Yingchun, and went back to pack a pack of medicinal materials and ordered Xie Niang to send it to Lin Daiyu. Thinking that Sister Feng had also been scratched, she took a box of ointment and sent it to Lin Daiyu.

But Sister Feng sent Ping'er to thank her. Lin Wanru saw that it was getting late outside, but Ping'er still came, and she couldn't help being a little surprised, so she kept Ping'er for dinner. It happened that Chen Ruiwen didn't come back today, so Lin Wanru asked someone to carry the little girl. The table came in and placed beside the Kang, with Lu Ni and Long Yan as companions.

Ping'er was kind-hearted, and he treated his servants kindly. They all liked Longyan very much. After the dinner was hot and lively, Ping'er said: "The young lady sent the ointment to our grandma. Grandma is worried that there is no excuse. Send me here, and send me to ask the young mistress a word by saying thank you."

Lin Wanru guessed right away that Ping'er must have a purpose for going to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.

She dismissed the girl, leaving only Ping'er to talk, and Ping'er talked about Jia Lian's business with Bao's family: "... When the second master heard that it was a lot of money, he wanted to get a share of it. Although Bao's family didn't No. But I’m not particularly happy, the second grandma said, even if we are short of money, we can’t put our faces on other people’s cold benches and be humiliated in vain, but the second master doesn’t listen. The money went in, and she said that she could earn 5000 taels in just two months, so the second grandma became suspicious. Even if the loan sharks came in, the money was not so fast, so she sent me to ask the young grandma if she ever knew what it was Business."

Lin Wanru wondered what Chen Ruiwen meant.He has already told the second prince about this matter, and the second prince has told the emperor, so no matter what, this business will eventually lose its money.

But she couldn't tell the truth, for fear that Jia's family would be exposed.Then he said vaguely: "The young master of the Shi family also wanted to make this money, and he recruited Ruiwen to join him. Ruiwen was impatient with this business, so he didn't agree, and he didn't know what kind of business it was, but since Sister Feng was puzzled, Just ask Lian Erye, is Lian Erye still hiding it?"

Ping'er sighed, and whispered: "Although I am a member of Jia's family. But now, to put it mildly, the mansion is not as good as year after year. It cannot make ends meet. Now that something has happened to the lady in the palace, she has to take care of it. Money is flowing like water. The old lady even picked out the things that the concubine had rewarded before and went out. The second grandma Bao came in. Although she brought a large amount of dowry, the old lady ordered her not to move. No, no matter whether it is the master or the servant, the family is full of complaints about the layoffs and layoffs. Second Mistress is also a little bit powerless. Going in, it’s really not worth the candle.”

Everyone in Jia's mansion is arrogant and extravagant, and the descendants are not as good as the previous generation. They have nothing to do except eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all day long. The foundation of the ancestors has also been ruined, and now there is only an empty shelf. Others don't care about the house, maybe they only see the brilliance on the outside.

Seeing Ping'er's worried expression, Lin Wanru couldn't bear to see Ping'er looked a bit haggard, and comforted her: "When you go back, let Sister Feng not worry about it day and night, and take good care of yourself. If the sky falls, there will be a tall man to stand up for it."

Ping'er smiled and said: "I usually say the same thing, but how can Second Mistress listen to it?"

The two talked for a while, and then Ping'er left. Lin Wanru gave her a box of bird's nest and asked her to bring it to Sister Feng: "The more things you have to do, the more you should pay attention to your body. You should always persuade me more."

Ping'er agreed, kowtowed and thanked Sister Feng on behalf of Sister Feng, and then went back by car.

It was getting late, but Sister Feng didn't rest, Ping'er came in and saw her lying on the couch in a daze, couldn't help feeling a little sad, forced a smile: "The eldest young lady sent a box of bird's nest to grandma."

When Sister Feng came to her senses, she looked at the contents of the box with Ping'er's hand. It was a top-grade bird's nest, and she couldn't help sighing, "It's like falling into a lucky nest."

Ping'er put it away, and said with a smile: "Who said it wasn't, as soon as she said she would let me eat today, she hurriedly cleaned up the stove and delivered good food and wine. If she hadn't been popular in the Chen family, the people below would have been too." You can't be so flattering."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "If you want to talk about people, how can you beat your life? You can ask clearly this time. What kind of business is it?"

Ping'er sat in front of Sister Feng, and said in detail: "...the young lady said she didn't know, but the young master of the Shi family also took a stake."

Sister Feng said: "The Shi family is the eldest princess's in-law's family. Since Young Master Shi has participated in the shares, it's no big deal."

He also let go of half of his heart, and talked about the little girl's reply just now: "Now Daiyu is lying on the bed, and her delicate body may not get out of bed in a few days. What should I do about sister Yingchun?" You know, my wife has a good idea, she wants to ask Daiyu to force Wanru to help, they are sisters, Wanru loves Daiyu, Daiyu also loves Wanru, but she didn't agree, the wife is very angry, what can I do ?”

Ping'er also sighed and remained silent.

Lin Wanru went to see Daiyu twice afterwards, and saw that she was fine, and the bruises on her forehead had all disappeared, so she was relieved and devoted herself to the New Year's affairs, while Shen and Second Grandma Chen worked together to take care of her. Chen Ruixue's marriage is settled.

Lin Wanru followed him and listened to him. The other party was a famous scholar. His family was not too rich, but the children in the family were very competitive. Anyone who studied had a good reputation. Second Grandma Chen said: "I only hope that Ruixue will follow him. After making it to the top, I became a Juren, Jinshi, and I have our family to help me, so I am not afraid that I will not be able to live on."

Chen said with a smile: "Not only is she greeting, but she is also a good-looking person." When asked about Chen Ruiwu's marriage, Second Grandma Chen was not in a hurry for her son.

Daughters are different from sons. Daughters want to marry while they are young to win over their husbands. In the future, they will be able to be the masters of the family when they get old, but sons have to wait until they are good-for-nothing to talk about marriage. At that time, many good people choose, and now they say Marriage, one has no fame, and the other has no credit, so people don't feel at ease to marry their daughter.

Soon arrived at Laba, Lin Wanru sent someone to Lianhua Hutong and Sixi Hutong to deliver Laba porridge, but when he came back, he brought a message: "My uncle and wife said that Master Biao's wedding will be scheduled in four days, please young mistress and young master to have a wedding wine."

He also whispered: "Two days ago, the second wife of the Shen family went to Sixi Alley to make trouble, saying that she wanted to take a concubine first and then marry a wife, but she was scolded by her uncle and wife and went back in a disheartened manner."

Lin Wanru couldn't help laughing, it's true that one thing comes down to one thing, Guan is used to being unreasonable, others are self-confident and embarrassed to break up with her, but her aunt is her nemesis, she is really not afraid of wearing bare feet As for the shoes, it is said that Jiangxi folk customs are tough, and my aunt is not afraid of her making trouble, but she is afraid that she will not make trouble.

She smiled and rewarded the sender with a red envelope, and then asked someone to inform Shen Shiran that Shen Shiran was going to have a wedding, and picked out the gift for a long time with great interest.

When Chen Ruiwen came back in the evening, he also talked about this incident: "Today, when I went out to do errands, I happened to pass by Lianhua Hutong. I went in to say hello to my mother-in-law. She said that a few days will be a good day for Jiang Dao."

Lin Wanru said with a smile: "Cousin Jiang is the eldest son, so it is bound to be very lively, and with Mr. Wei in charge, I'm afraid the scene will not be small."

Chen Ruiwen didn't take it seriously: "The more it's an occasion like this, the people who come to cheer are literati and poets, who pay attention to manners and decency, and it's the worst thing to be lively."

Ever since he took Lin Wanru's account book to Chen Yongming, and was praised by Chen Yongming, he was depressed every day. He thought that he was a man, could he still be compared to his own woman?

So I spent a lot of time looking at the account book every day, and invited the shopkeeper to come to the mansion to have a drink and ask for advice. After learning for a while, I thought it was good, so I showed the account book to Lin Wanru, and Lin Wanru picked out several inappropriate things. , He didn't notice it, and after being poured with cold water, he became more and more unconvinced, and now he has to read the account book for half an hour before going to bed every night.

Lin Wanru admired his perseverance very much, he changed his ways every day to please him, and took care of the things in the house properly so that he would not worry about it. Shen saw her son and daughter-in-law working together to live a happy life With a head start, I feel more satisfied in my heart.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Wanru, Shen Shi, and Chen Ruiwen went to Sixi Alley to have a wedding wine. The house in Sixi Alley was not big, but it was decorated with joy. Aunt Shen came to help a day earlier.

Mrs. Jiang was wearing a maroon beanie, she was smiling from ear to ear, and she kept calling Jiang Wenming and Jiang Dao's classmates and colleagues to drink tea and talk, and the house was very noisy and lively.

Lin Wanru also smiled when she saw that Aunt Shen was busy with work, and thought it was good, since her uncle and aunt settled down in the capital, and Aunt Shen would have someone to talk to in the future, so she wouldn't be lonely anymore.

The inner courtyard is lively, and the outer courtyard is not too far behind. Jiang Dao is the number one scholar at a young age, and he is handsome. To be honest, half of the families with suitable daughters in the capital want to marry their daughters. As a person in the officialdom, it is inevitable to have a seniority ranking, but they are not as good as Jiang Wenming.

Although Jiang Wenming was a young official, he won the Jinshi at a young age, and now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and counting up, Jiang Wenming's father, Jiang Ting, is also the number one scholar. This is even more remarkable. Everyone envies him , praise of praise.
