Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Daiyu sighed: "Who wants to care about this, but my wife cries every day at home, saying that the empress in the palace relied on the prince to get up. Now that the prince is deposed, what can I ask the empress to do?"

Lin Wanru was a little disdainful, Mrs. Wang only had her daughter who entered the palace as a concubine in her eyes, she couldn't care less about others, Lin Daiyu didn't like to criticize her mother-in-law, and talked about Yingchun: "Bao Chang Ling goes out all day, Mrs. Bao is sick. It's down, things at home are messy, but sister Yingchun is magnanimous and stands up to help. At least she can eat on time, and the servants have a backbone. She, Sister Yingchun, said that the Bao family is in a state of desolation and is short of manpower, so she can't make trouble, and the old lady has nothing to say."

Lin Wanru sighed: "Sister Yingchun is kind-hearted, I only hope that the Bao family will treat her well because of her benefits." Lin Daiyu also said: "Who says it's not."

Because of the abolition of the crown prince, the Lantern Festival was not a good one. The emperor was even more depressed and fell ill. The second prince waited in front of him every day, but the emperor was a little irritable and refused to see anyone. The queen mother went to see him in person and comforted him. After a while, this is better, the queen mother doesn't care about world affairs, and she didn't say a word when the crown prince was deposed. Seeing that the emperor was angry, she said: "You deposed people, now you are angry again, why bother?"

The emperor said bitterly: "The son is incompetent, so let the queen mother worry about it." The queen mother said: "I am not worried, I am only worried about your body. The affairs of the crown prince are related to the country. Since Hongzhou does not have this blessing, you should choose someone else to stand up for you. There are still five sons, are you afraid that you won't be able to pick the right one?"

The emperor did not speak.

As soon as the queen mother's words came out, even Chen Yi hesitated, but the fifth prince was a step ahead, and someone wrote a letter after the first month.It was suggested that the fifth prince should be made the crown prince, but the emperor was furious. He first demoted the person who was selected as the crown prince and exiled him, and then accused the fifth prince of conspiracy.

It was the noble concubine Roujia who pleaded for mercy in person, that's all, but Chen Yi broke out in a cold sweat when he found out.If Lin Wanru didn't listen to dissuasion and wrote a letter to support the Second Prince, I'm afraid that the Second Prince would be like the Fifth Prince today.

Chen Yi knew what he couldn't do, so he naturally knew what he could do, so he approached the second prince and instructed him what to do.The second prince was a little surprised: "This, can this work?"

However, Chen Yi smiled and said: "You still have to say what you should say. Whether you accept it or not depends on the emperor's will. You just say it. Even if the emperor does not accept it, you will not blame you for pleading for the crown prince. On the contrary , and feel that you love your brothers and feet. You have a sincere heart."

The second prince was dubious, but out of trust in Chen Yi, he still asked to see the emperor as instructed.

The emperor was ill for a while.Although it is better now, and the early court has been restored, but the spirit is not as good as before. The second prince is also a little sad when he sees the emperor holding on to read the scriptures. When the emperor sees the second prince coming in, he is cold: "It's so late. What?"

The second prince gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground: "I want to intercede for eldest brother." He neither called the crown prince nor the abolished prince, but called the eldest brother. The emperor was shocked, a little unbelievable.

The second prince was dripping with sweat from the cold sky: "My son, my son feels that although elder brother has some disadvantages in virtue, he was instigated by others. It is understandable that he was confused for a while. Now elder brother repents day and night. Thinking about it, I will be able to change my past mistakes, and I beg my father to forgive him."

As soon as the words were spoken, they became more and more fluent. The second prince was half acting and half real. After all, the age difference between him and the prince was not too big. The prince also ran behind the prince's ass, and the eldest brother shouted loudly. It was only later that he grew up and knew the superiority and inferiority, so he gradually alienated him.

The second prince was talking, and shed tears: "As the prince, the elder brother is in an embarrassing situation. If he pays attention to the government, some people with evil intentions will say that he can't wait to take power. If he doesn't pay attention, some people will say that he is not worthy. Elder brother Dilemma, on weekdays there is this exhortation, that exhortation, which makes me feel depressed, loves to play, and does some absurd things, but speaking of it, which one of us sons and phoenixes did not do some absurd things, Now, even though the elder brother killed someone, it was an unintentional mistake, and the prodigal son will not return the money, please forgive him this time, Father, I think he will definitely learn a lesson, and will not repeat the same mistakes again."

The second prince was crying, and the emperor couldn't help crying. The father and son cried for a while, and the emperor felt a lot lighter when he cried. He helped the second prince himself, and said: "Okay Child, it's hard for you to care about brotherhood, plead for him, think how he treats you in the past, the emperor sees it, it's hard for you not to care about him."

The second prince also wiped away his tears and smiled: "Brother is a big brother after all. I still remember that when I was a child, I always followed him. He took me to climb trees and dig out bird nests."

The emperor said: "The prince is lucky to have a younger brother like you, but he has gone too far this time. You first concealed the Lin family's affairs for him, so that he did not make a big mistake, and now you are pleading for him. , I know what you mean, but this time, I have to teach him a lesson."

The second prince heard this, but he didn't know what it was like in his heart. The father really abandoned the prince in a moment of anger. Now he just said it, and the father said that he would teach him a lesson. After the lesson, it is still the same. Prince?

Then what has he become?But the grandfather's decision is still wise, if the prince is deposed, he will immediately support himself as the prince, I am afraid that the father will be even more angry, the fifth younger brother is noble, and the father lost his temper, if it is his turn, why don't you shout Fight and shout?

The second prince felt a little sad. He felt that the emperor was eccentric. The prince was already virtuous. The emperor still looked after him. No matter how hard he worked, he was just a foil. Seeing the emperor's more and more relaxed expression, he said a few words to accompany him After saying that, he resigned and returned to his own palace, and his face turned down.

The second concubine personally came in with tea and waited on her: "It's getting late, you should rest earlier."

The second prince waved his hand and said: "Early tomorrow morning, you will prepare a generous gift and send it to your grandfather's house. This time, thanks to my cousin, if it wasn't for her words to persuade my grandfather, I'm afraid I'd be like the fifth younger brother." I was hated by my father, this credit must be recorded." The second prince and concubine naturally agreed.

Since the second prince pleaded for the crown prince, the emperor has returned to his previous amiable countenance, and treated the second prince more cordially. Although he did not release the prince, he did not accept the opinions of the officials and establish a prince again.

All civil and military officials also understood the emperor's thoughts, and knew that the emperor was still reluctant to part with the prince, so they wisely stopped mentioning this matter, and the capital slowly returned to calm.

Mrs. Jiang also started to prepare for Shen Man to enter the house. According to Guan's original intention, she married Shen Man before He Zhishu entered the house. , there is no such rule in any family, and she is not a girl, so she kept it in the room after seeing that she was served well."

Now Mrs. Jiang is in charge of the Jiang family. Mrs. Jiang came to the door and tried both soft and hard. Guan couldn't say anything to her, so he was so angry that he had no choice but to agree.

When He Zhishu entered the door, Mrs. Guan brought up the matter again, and Mrs. Jiang said again: "The new daughter-in-law has taken a concubine within a month after entering the door. What do the in-laws think when they find out? No matter what, we have to wait." After the new year, let’s talk about it after the first month.”

Guan Shi was so angry that he couldn't bear it any longer, he ran to tell Shen Shi, let Shen Shi come forward, who knew that there was another storm about the abolition of the crown prince, everyone in the capital was trembling, so this matter was put on hold, now that the storm subsided, Guan Shi brought the young Guan Shi to the Chen family: "The day of getting married has been postponed again and again, what else do you want?"

Seeing Lin Wanru, Guan felt resentful, but Lin Wanru didn't bother to talk to her, Shen was helpless, embarrassed to ask Aunt Shen to come forward, so she went to ask in person, unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang readily agreed, and also A date is fixed.

Both Guan Shi and Xiao Guan Shi began to get busy with Shen Man's marriage. Although they were concubines, Guan Shi was going to make a big fuss, thinking that he would overshadow He Zhishu's limelight when he entered the door, so that Shen Man would not be caught in the limelight in the future. People underestimated it.

Shen Aixiao lived a leisurely life, went to the bookstore every day, sat for a whole day, chatted with the guests and talked about knowledge when there were guests, and concentrated on reading and studying knowledge when there were no guests, and lived a very happy life Xiaoyao, and Shen Shi secretly helped him, and ordered people to send tea and snacks for three meals a day to the bookstore. Shen Ai Xiao Le didn't want to go back, and almost didn't even want to go back to the old house, so he just lived in the shop.

Seeing Guan's marriage with Zhang Luo and Shen Man now, I just feel it's funny: "Do you want everyone in the capital to know that Sister Man is going to be a concubine?"

Guan Shi ignored it, and counted Shen Man's dowry with Xiao Guan Shi, and asked someone to find out when Third Master Shen and Fourth Master Shen would bring his family to the capital.

Mrs. Guan prepared a dowry of 120 for Shen Man. Mrs. Jiang just sneered when she found out, and sent [-] of things over according to the rules of taking concubines. !

The auspicious date is set at the beginning of March, and there are still more than 20 days left. Lin Wanru first went to Jia's house to celebrate Lin Daiyu's birthday, and then accompanied Chen's second grandma to see her son-in-law. His name is a virtuous character, he is the eldest son in the family, and he is this year.

Mrs. Cao had been thinking about getting married to her son for a long time, but Mr. Cao said that she didn’t have any fame, and when she got married again, she was more and more ignorant of her progress. I also saw that my son was really old, so I started to take care of him.

Mr. Cao is just an official of the Ministry of Rites. He is not very famous, but everyone should be polite when they see him. I couldn't help it, and made an appointment with Grandma Chen to meet at the Golden Buddha Temple.
