Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

On the day of going to the temple, Chen Ruiyu and Chen Ruishuang also followed Chen Ruixue because she was afraid that Chen Ruixue would be ashamed. Lin Wanru followed Shen's side, and met Mrs. Cao, who was a slightly plump and very kind-looking person.

Second Grandma Chen felt a little willing when she saw her, and her mother-in-law should be kinder. Mrs. Cao also liked the gentle Chen Ruixue very much and was very satisfied. She is the eldest lady of Duke Qi's mansion, what else can I choose?

When Mrs. Cao asked Cao Xian to come in to pay her respects, Chen Ruixue avoided it, but Lin Wanru took a closer look. Cao Xian was somewhat similar to Mrs. Cao, with a very kind face on their faces. The second grandma also likes it very much.

When I got back, I said to Shen Shi: "It's better to be kind, Ruixue is soft-tempered, if she is strong, we Ruixue will suffer."

Mrs. Shen also thought it was very good, and the two sisters-in-law went together to tell Chen Yi about it. Seeing that the two daughters-in-law were satisfied, Chen Yi agreed: "Bring someone over to show me some other day." Look."

Second Grandma Chen agreed with a smile, and after returning home, she discussed with Second Master Chen who to invite as a matchmaker.

Lin Wanru told Chen Ruiwen about this, but Chen Ruiwen didn't take it seriously, instead he talked about the Lin family's affairs: "The crown prince was abolished, and the Lin family's affairs became empty. I thought it was not an option for Lin Songcheng to stay in the capital all the time, so I'd better ask him to come back." Yangzhou is good."

Lin Wanru was very reluctant, even though Lin Songcheng was in the capital and she couldn't meet his father and daughter, but knowing that the closest person in her previous life was by her side, she was always happy, but she also knew that she had no position to say anything to keep her. Said: "Didn't the emperor forgive the prince? When the prince comes back to power, will he feel revenge?"

Chen Ruiwen shook his head: "This time the emperor was furious. The prince was also frightened, not to mention that there is no sign of his restoration now, even if he is restored, he can only be trembling, not to mention that Bao Fengyi has been cut off. The chief assistant of the cabinet and the official position of the crown prince. The current chief assistant of the cabinet is Cai Yuji, the original second assistant. Mr. Cai is almost sixty, and he is considered an old seniority in the court. He was always suppressed by Bao Fengyi , Now that he is in the early stage, he is the one who least expects the Bao family to recover. These days, he joined forces with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and found out many mistakes for the Bao family. It is said that the prince's private withholding of tributes and other things in the past were all of the Bao family. The instigation, the crown prince had no choice but to do it because of his relatives, but the crown prince was picked off, and all the crimes fell on the head of the Bao family. I am afraid that the Bao family will not make it through this time."

Lin Wanru also always felt that the Bao family was too arrogant, and now they deserved what they deserved, but they didn't have any sympathy or pity.Chen Ruiwen has been free these few days, seeing Lin Wanru busy to and fro, he said with a smile: "If you have free time, you should also take a rest, don't wear yourself out."

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "Where can I rest, I have to go to Shen's house to add makeup to Shen Man in a few days."

Chen Ruiwen said: "What did you prepare?"

Lin Wanru said: "No matter how you prepare, you can't go past your cousin."

When Chen Ruiwen mentioned this matter, he also felt a little emotional: "If Shen Man had made up his mind at the beginning, and made up his mind whether to go back to Suzhou or something else, he wouldn't have fallen to this point."

Lin Wanru sneered: "Guan Shi is smart but was misled by his cleverness, so he can't blame others."

Seeing that she was not happy, Chen Ruiwen talked about Wei Junzi's opening of the academy: "It has been open for a long time, and none of the students have been confiscated. The student Wei Junzi who came here especially asked Master Deng to help him see it first. After the selection, there were only seven or eight left, and Junzi Wei looked at them himself, but he didn't like any of them, and now everyone says that Junzi Wei has high vision."

Lin Wanru said: "He has a tricky temper, who would want to be his student."

Speaking of Mr. Wei, Lin Wanru thought of Shen Aixiao. She and Chen Ruiwen went to visit Shen Aixiao's bookstore together. The bookstore reopened after the Lantern Festival. The business was quite deserted, but Shen Aixiao still stayed in the shop. Here, lying on the reclining chair and reading a book comfortably, with tea and snacks on the small table next to him, the gods are nothing more than that.

Shen Aixiao was very happy to see the young couple coming together. Chen Ruiwen didn't have a good impression of Shen Aixiao. He felt that Guan's doing whatever he wanted was the result of his connivance. He couldn't even take care of his own backyard. It's hard to say that I hate it, but I'm just being polite: "It's still in the first month, why did you come to the shop?"

Shen Aixiao took the treasured good tea as a treat, and said with a smile: "It's the same everywhere, but why did you come here?"

Chen Ruiwen and Shen Aixiao greeted each other, while Lin Wanru looked at the account book at the counter, it has been more than a month since it opened, but the income is 20 taels of silver, so she couldn't help frowning.

Shen Aixiao wanted to keep Chen Ruiwen and Lin Wanru for dinner, and invited them to a restaurant, but at noon, Guan Shi sent someone over: "Following the letter from the third and fourth masters, the boat will arrive in half an hour, and the wife has already sent Someone will pick it up, please go home, the second aunt and the third aunt's family will accompany you this time, and the wife is taking grandma to clean up the house."

Shen Aixiao was a little unhappy: "What did Erniang and Sanniang come here for? Those who dragged their families along, they can't make a living?"

The visitor didn't dare to speak, Shen Aixiao said to Lin Wanru with a bluffing face: "Your uncle and aunt are here, you also follow me to visit, you can't meet in the future and don't know each other."

Lin Wanru hadn't spoken yet, but Chen Ruiwen was afraid that Lin Wanru would say something unpleasant, so he hurriedly agreed: "Let's go home and tell Mother first, and then go there with Mother."

Shen Aixiao agreed, and sent someone to send a letter to Aunt Shen: "Tell Wu Niang to go back to the old house."

Lin Wanru looked very unhappy, but didn't say anything. On the way back, Chen Ruiwen comforted Lin Wanru: "At least it's my grandfather, and we don't live together on weekdays, so we have to live with the face."

Lin Wanru said: "I don't know where he is so upright. Back then, my aunt was bullied by Guan, and he didn't say a word. Now it's reasonable to instigate my aunt, and he doesn't even think about it. Is he worthy? Good aunt Xing'er, and still treat him as a father, if it were me, I would be a stranger."

Seeing that she was very angry, Chen Ruiwen quickly embraced her and said, "Calm down, after all, this is the grievance of the previous generation. We are the younger generation, and there are some things we can't say. If we say it, we can relieve our anger, but others will say that mother-in-law is not Teach well, we should do it for my mother-in-law, let everyone know that my mother-in-law has taught me a good daughter who is knowledgeable, reasonable, generous and generous."

Lin Wanru couldn't help laughing when she saw him talking poorly, and beat him up.

Shen was also very happy when she learned about this: "When I was young, my brothers and sisters were studying and having fun together. I have never seen them since I got married. Now we meet again, which is naturally a happy event." Then she hurriedly called people to prepare the meeting ceremony .

In the middle of the afternoon, people from the old house came to invite Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Chen and Chen Yongming took Chen Ruiwen and Lin Wanru to the old mansion of the Shen family.

Mrs. Guan was about to see her son and daughter, and her face was beaming. When she saw Lin Wanru, she pulled her face down, snorted coldly, and talked to Mrs. Shen to herself: "Your wife has been here for a few months, why are you still here?" No movement? You are not in a hurry to hug your grandson?"

Xiao Guan knew that Guan wanted to embarrass Lin Wanru, but Shen Man was going to marry into Jiang's family. For the sake of her daughter, she didn't dare to offend Lin Wanru, so without waiting for Shen to speak, she hurriedly called everyone in. Drink tea and talk.

Chen Ruiwen squeezed Lin Wanru's hand consolingly, but Lin Wanru didn't bother to be angry. Although Guan Shi was hateful, she was nothing compared to Wan Lin's mother, Mrs. Wan. After living together for several years, would you still be angry with Guan Shi now?

Shen Quan and Shen Yu were also there, Shen Xun, Shen Jie, and Shen Cheng were descendants of Dafang, and they had followed Shen Yueming back to Suzhou long ago, Shen Quan was the eldest grandson of Erfang, and Shen Yu was the concubine of Shen Siye, they all stayed behind. In the capital city, although Shen Quan was the number one scholar, because Mr. Wei accused the Shen family of buying fame for his children last year, everyone talked about it for a while, and some people knew the inside story. As a grandson, he also felt ashamed, not to mention that Jiang Dao was still the number one scholar, and he was crushed firmly on his head.

He is unwilling to go out to be instructed by others, and now he is still studying at home. Shen Yu is a bastard, and he was able to go to Beijing with him because of Shen Yueming's words. Now that Shen Yueming has left, why would Mrs. Guan bother to take care of him? He is still at home now read.

Everyone sat down in order, Chen Ruiwen and Lin Wanru sat at the bottom, Shen Aixiao talked to Chen Yongming with a smile, and Xiao Guan talked about Shen Man's wedding with Shen, Guan looked at Chen Ruiwen's careful treatment of Lin Wanru, the two of them They held hands back, and it was dazzling when they entered the eyes.

Thinking of her granddaughter who is about to become a concubine, Guan couldn't help gritting her teeth. She suddenly interrupted Shen's words and said, "Yuan Niang, you don't value rules more and more now. Where is the mother-in-law here, but the daughter-in-law is sitting?" ? Don’t even understand this rule?”

The lively main hall suddenly became quiet, everyone looked at Lin Wanru, Lin Wanru sneered: "I didn't want to sit, but I saw that Third Grandma Shen was sitting, so I sat down."

Xiao Guan is also a daughter-in-law, Lin Wanru is refuting Guan's words, she is also a daughter-in-law, she does not set rules, why should she control me?

Guan Shi was worried that there was no excuse to attack, and he patted the table and said: "Is this the attitude of talking to the elders? Who taught you? You are really uneducated!"

Lin Wanru was very angry, and wanted to retaliate, but was secretly stopped by Chen Ruiwen, and Shen hurriedly smoothed things over: "Second Aunt, Wanru seems to be ignorant, don't be so fussy with her."

Chen Yongming also laughed and said: "This kid has a straightforward temper, but he knows the rules." Guan snorted: "After all, it was taught by my aunt, so I can't get on the stage."

Lin Wanru thought it was funny now, Guan Shi always put the hilt of the knife in other people's hands, let others attack her, saying she is stupid is really stupid, Shen Man is going to marry into the Jiang family as a concubine, so what about her aunt ?

She said slowly: "You're right. I was taught by my aunt, so I won't be able to get on the stage. Your great-grandson will also be taught by my aunt in the future. I'm afraid they won't be able to get on the stage either!"

Being poked at the pain point, Guan Shi and Xiao Guan Shi both turned pale, and Shen Shi shouted: "Wan Ru, what are you talking about?"
