Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu came later, but they brought a lot of gifts. Although Jiang Wenming didn't like Jia Baoyu who was a bit feminine, it was obvious that he was polite and respectful to Aunt Shen, so he was a little more satisfied and started talking. Come is also amiable.

Before Lin Daiyu bruised her forehead, she didn't tell Aunt Shen because she was afraid she would be worried. Lin Daiyu smiled and saluted Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang saw Lin Daiyu's beautiful appearance and gentle personality, and liked her very much, so she teased Lin Wanru: "Your sister is more handsome than you."

Lin Wanru hugged Lin Daiyu's shoulder and said with a smile: "My sister is smarter than me. I can't compare to my sister in anything." Everyone laughed.

After a busy day in Lianhua Hutong, Chen Ruiwen inevitably drank a few more glasses, and on the way back to the carriage, he was a little drunk, hugging Lin Wanru and not letting go, as if talking about wine: "In my eyes, you are better than your sister More, everything is stronger."

Lin Wanru laughed and felt helpless: "My sister is more beautiful than me, and she can write poems better than me."

However, Chen Ruiwen continued to mutter as if he didn't hear it: "We are more affectionate than them, I love you more, I love you more, she can't compare to you..." Lin Wanru was suddenly moved, seeing that Chen Ruiwen had already closed his eyes With his eyes rested, he stretched out his arms to hug him, even though the smell of alcohol that he used to think was unpleasant, now he could smell a trace of alcohol.

Chen Ruiwen was drunk and unconscious in the carriage, and was finally carried back to the room. Shen was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked someone to boil a thick hangover soup: "I drank a lot yesterday, and I drank a lot today. You have to watch him and stop drinking."

Lin Wanru agreed, and asked for hot water to wipe Chen Ruiwen's hands and face, and waited for him to sleep. Seeing that Lin Wanru had done everything properly, she went back in peace.

For the next few days.Although there was a banquet, Lin Wanru pushed the post and asked Chen Ruiwen to stay at home and not go out. The first two days were fine, but after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shi Guangzhu and Liu Fang came to pull people: "It's not a big girl, What are you doing hiding at home? Don’t take advantage of the Chinese New Year to have fun. How can you be free in ordinary times.”

Pulling Chen Ruiwen out, Lin Wanru was a little angry when he came back reeking of alcohol, and told him again and again not to drink, if it hurts his stomach, it will be a matter of his life.Why don't you listen.

So I just asked Guixiang and Guiye to take care of the bath, and I didn't do it myself.Chen Ruiwen yelled loudly in the clean room: "Wan Ru, I want you to bathe me, Wan Ru, come here quickly..."

Lin Wanru blushed with shame, ran over and gasped, "What are you yelling about?"

Chen Ruiwen stood beside him with his upper body naked, with an aggrieved expression on his face.Contrary to the usual seriousness, Guixiang Guiye was at a loss with her sleeves rolled up, Lin Wanru held back her anger and asked the two girls to go out.Taking care of it himself, Chen Ruiwen approached obediently: "Wan Ru, I only want you alone."

Lin Wanru waited for him to take a bath with a blush, and when she came out of the clean room, she had a sullen face and said nothing. The girls noticed that she was upset, so they all fell silent, quickly packed up their things and retreated, while Chen Ruiwen fell asleep with a look on his face. satisfy.

On the second day, Chen Ruiwen slept late, woke up and saw that there was no one in the room, but there was a little girl laughing softly outside, he didn't disturb anyone, got up and put on his clothes, washed and went out , the girls were setting up a small table beside the kang to play chess pieces, Lin Wanru sat on the kang and watched, seeing Chen Ruiwen coming out, the girls got up to salute and moved the table.

Lin Wanru turned his face away and didn't look at him. Chen Ruiwen felt strange, and leaned over: "Why is your face so unhappy? Who messed with you?" He was so drunk yesterday that he couldn't remember anything.

Lin Wanru snorted: "What did you say yesterday? You are not allowed to drink, you are not allowed to drink, but you are so drunk that your mother is worried about something. She asked someone to ask several times. You only care about drinking yourself, and you don't want to Xiangniang and I are worried about you at home."

Chen Ruiwen felt a little guilty when he heard this, and leaned against her face to flatter her: "I'm sorry, Guangzhu and the others are pulling the water, and I can't do anything about it. I won't go out for a few days. I'll stay with you at home, okay?"

Lin Wanru was still bored, Chen Ruiwen became more and more anxious, and stopped going out for drinks, and rejected all invitations from others, and only ran behind Lin Wanru, Lin Wanru was going to entertain relatives and friends who came to pay New Year's greetings with Shen Because they are all female relatives, Chen Ruiwen is not easy to see, so she waited in the room, and when she came back, she surrounded her to ask her how to feel warm, Lin Wanru was soft-hearted towards him, and she calmed down within two days, and sent him out to watch a theater : "As long as you don't drink."

Chen Ruiwen saw that Lin Wanru was busy with his feet not touching the ground and was distracted from his affairs, so he simply went out for a walk and stopped Lin Wanru from worrying about it.

Chen Ruiwen first went to see Lin Songcheng. He was alone in the capital. Although he couldn't reunite with his family, he had a reunion dinner with the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper. So I drank and drank alone in the shop, read books, calculated accounts, and passed the time.

Chen Ruiwen came to look for him with a servant, he was very happy, welcomed him in, and entertained him with Chen Nian's daughter Hong, but this time Chen Ruiwen didn't dare to drink any more, and said with a smile: "I drank too much a while ago. , my mother told me not to drink any more for a while."

Lin Songcheng's age can be regarded as Chen Ruiwen's elder, so he stopped forcing it and said: "Although you are young, you should still be careful and drink less." But he gave Chen Ruiwen a jar: "Idle It’s great for drinking alone or entertaining friends.”

Chen Ruiwen accepted it unceremoniously. Seeing that Lin Songcheng was roasting some peanuts and sweet potatoes with wine by himself around the stove, it was quite interesting, so he sat down to accompany him. It was very speculative, and it was inevitable to bring up this disaster again while talking and laughing.

Lin Songcheng sighed a little: "Our Lin family has lived in Yangzhou for generations, and it has been hundreds of years now. The ancestors have always been strict with themselves and lenient with others. It's a pity that the descendants are withering day by day, and in my generation, I only have one daughter. I think I haven't done anything wrong, but I don't want disasters from heaven. Maybe, God really thinks that the Lin family is exhausted..."

Talking a little sentimental, Chen Ruiwen comforted him: "It's a misfortune, but a blessing. Isn't the Lin family all right now? If the old man feels that there is no successor, he can adopt an heir from a side branch and teach him carefully. It's not difficult."

Lin Songcheng sighed: "Speaking of which, it's thanks to Ms. Lin. If she hadn't reported the letter in time, I wouldn't have been prepared. Speaking of her, I would think of my daughter who died young. My daughter was very young. Clever, good at reading and writing, her mother originally wanted to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, so that she would marry a wealthy family in the future and no longer need to do business to earn a living, but she didn't like it, she thought those fake appearances , I like to dial around with an abacus all day long, talking about business matters, new ideas one after another, I said at the time, this is my daughter, just like me, her mother can't force her, I just said that I spoiled my daughter, but it's a pity that she left early at such a young age, every time I think of it, I feel like a knife is piercing my heart, I would rather exchange my life for my daughter's life..."

Lin Songcheng's eyes turned red when he said that, but Chen Ruiwen remembered Lin Wanru's sympathy, and felt a little empathetic, but he didn't want Lin Songcheng to know Wanru's existence. The more Lin Songcheng loved his daughter, the greater his attachment to Wanru. The trouble is getting bigger and bigger, so I just said a few words of comfort.

Lin Songcheng laughed at himself and said, "Young master Chen is telling me to read a joke. I am old, and I just remembered these when I have nothing to do. If my daughter is still alive, what kind of son-in-law should I find for her? She cares, although it is fantasy, it can be regarded as a kind of comfort."

Chen Ruiwen didn't make a sound, and went to look for the second prince when he came out of Lin's winery: "How's the net caster?"

The second prince smiled and said: "There is no leak in the net, don't worry, after the Lantern Festival, the net will be closed."

Chen Ruiwen said: "I went to see Lin Songcheng. He is not a sinister and cunning person. I think if I can not involve him, I will not involve him. If I get involved in the prince's affairs, I will lose my skin if I don't die."

The second prince wondered: "When did you become so kind?" But he still agreed: "Father is a sensible person, he will not hurt the innocent, I am afraid that the prince will retaliate in the future, I think it is better to ask Lin Songcheng to keep a low profile."

Chen Ruiwen and the second prince had a secret discussion for a long time to make a proper plan for what will happen after the Lantern Festival, but who knows, something happened to the tenth prince at the beginning of the year.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor took all the princes to sacrifice to heaven. On the way back, someone blocked the road and shouted for grievances.

A couple in their 50s had their blood spattered on the spot. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. It didn't matter after the investigation. It turned out that it was the daughter of the couple. Because of her beauty, she was taken away by the prince. Such a daughter, tried her best but failed to find out the news of her daughter, so she developed a will to die, and used her own life to avenge her daughter.

This is naturally not a good thing, even though they deliberately kept their mouths shut, the news quietly spread to various families, and everyone even lost a bit of excitement during the New Year, staring at the movement in the palace with breathless concentration.

As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, the crown prince had a fit, and all the princes knelt with him, including Chen Ruiwen, Shi Guangzhu, Liu Fang and other relatives who were accompanying him, and they all knelt outside. The emperor was furious, and he bowed his head. Throwing the blood-stained paper on the prince's face, he shouted violently, "You will lose all the face of your ancestors for the good deeds you have done."

The crown prince remained silent, and the person who was ordered to go to the crown prince's uterus for inspection has returned, tremblingly: "He is not in the palace, but he was found in the private house of the Bao family. Parents are dead, and they were also killed by a head-on collision."

The emperor's hands trembled in anger, and he almost lost his figure. At this time, the Bao family still protects him, and the Bao family can respond so quickly, picking up the crown prince, which shows that he really indulges the Bao family up.
