Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Wanru also sighed: "I just hope she can figure it out soon."

But Shuirou talked about Lin Wanru's stomach, touched it carefully, and said, "Is there a child inside? It's really strange."

Lin Wanru smiled: "Sometimes I can't believe it." She kept Shui Rou for dinner, and made an appointment to see Shi Aizhu together.

When Chen Ruiwen came back in the evening, Lin Wanru asked him if he knew Duan Ling. Unexpectedly, when Chen Ruiwen mentioned it, he was full of praise: "He is very loyal, and he works hard. He is the eldest son in the family. He is the one who is in charge, and now he is still practicing, and when he has the opportunity to make meritorious service, it is estimated that there will be no problem in being promoted to the fourth rank, but the Eldest Princess has a good vision, so she actually took a fancy to him."

Only then did Lin Wanru feel relieved.

On the day when Lin Wanru and Shui Rou went to Shi's house, Shi Aizhu was arguing with Princess Minghua. The princess was shrewd and capable. Almost everything in the family was decided by the princess, not to mention the marriage of her children.

Shan Guogong is elegant and kind, and knows that his wife's decision is correct, but seeing his daughter crying, he couldn't bear it, and said to the eldest princess: "If she doesn't want to marry, don't force her, the twisted melon not sweet."

The eldest princess was furious: "I can't let my temper do everything. Duan Ling is a good character. I inquired and inquired. I missed this. Where can I find such a good one? She is just disobedient, don't talk about her. Well, even Chaohuang, who is a princess, can't make decisions about her own marriage, but she has become petty."

Shan Guogong couldn't help sighing, so he had to go to persuade his daughter, Shi Aizhu cried very sadly: "I really don't want to marry."

Shan Guogong wiped his daughter's tears, and said in a gentle voice: "Girls always want to marry, Miss Lin who is close to you. Isn't she also married? Although Duan's family is in Shandong, Duan Ling is in the capital. Later, Dad will give it to him again." Find a job, and you stay in the capital, and whenever you feel homesick, you can come here by carriage. It's very convenient."

Shi Aizhu cried: "Brother said he was a warrior, very rude, I was afraid, what if he hit me? I can't quarrel with me, I don't want to marry such a person."

Shan Guogong was amused by his daughter's words: "If he dares, if he hits you. I will never forgive him. Don't listen to your brother's nonsense. Although he is a warrior, he is very considerate and considerate. You have never seen him. Why do you beat him?" People, any quarrels are just unfounded worries."

Shi Aizhu lay in her father's arms.She can also say her heart to her gentle father: "I want to marry someone like my second cousin. I know he is married, and there is no possibility for me and him. But I still want to marry someone like him, Gentle and gentle, no matter what he talks or does, he is very kind."

Shan Guogong smiled lovingly, and patted her on the head: "Silly boy, you like such a person, but you may not be suitable for such a person. You are soft-tempered at first, and you need to find an independent and strong-willed nurse." It's up to you. If the husband and wife are like kneading dough, how can they live in this day? Look at Xuan'er, she has a strong personality and is stubborn, so your aunt wants to find her a temperament and softness, or husband and wife The two quarrel and neither one is willing to give in, and this day can't go on, a key matches a lock, and it's only right."

Shi Aizhu cried again: "But I'm really scared..." Come on, the problem is back to the original point.

Knowing that Lin Wanru and Shuirou came to visit, Shan Guogong and the eldest princess were very happy. Some parents would not listen to some words, but their peers would listen to them after persuading them.

Knowing that Lin Wanru was pregnant, the eldest princess was both happy and envious. She became more and more determined to let Shi Aizhu get married earlier, marry her daughter first, and then find a good wife for her son to take care of her. grandson.

Knowing that Lin Wanru was pregnant, Shi Aizhu opened her mouth wide and looked at her with tears on her face, looking pitiful and cute, Shui Rou smiled and said, "It seems like you are going to be a mother, be envious."

Shi Aizhu carefully touched Lin Wanru's lower abdomen: "Is there really a little doll inside?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "Yeah, I'm still young, I heard from my mother that when the month is old, when the little hands and feet grow out, they will move."

Seeing that Shi Aizhu was curious, Shui Rou said with a smile: "You get married quickly, and you are also pregnant with a child."

Shi Aizhu's face immediately pulled down: "Is this what you, a girl who has never been out of the court, can say?" She gambled and didn't look at Shui Rou, but Shui Rou changed the topic: "Where is Xuan'er?"

Shi Aizhu said: "My aunt forbids her to go out, and I haven't seen her for a long time."

Shuirou rolled her eyes, and pulled Shi Aizhu to find Liu Xuan. Seeing that it was her suggestion, Princess Minghua did not object, and even gave Lin Wanru some things to make up her body.

Lin Wanru is now in a wealthy body, and the three of them rode in a carriage, not seeking speed, but stability, and slowly arrived at the Duke of Li's mansion. As soon as the porter saw the carriage, he hurried in to report, and it was Liu Fang who greeted her personally: "Two sisters, come here. Yes, Grandma Chen is also here, she is really a rare visitor."

Liu Fang was polite to Lin Wanru because she was the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, and Lin Wanru also returned the gift. Liu Fang and Shi Guangzhu were both the eldest princess's son and the emperor's nephew, but Liu Fang was a little more than Shi Guangzhu. She is bookish and polite, when Shuirou asked Liu Xuan, she said with a smile: "It's just that you came to persuade her, and you are not working hard these days, mother told her about a marriage, but she is not alive. promise."

Shi Aizhu was surprised: "My aunt also told my cousin about the marriage?"

Liu Fang laughed and said, "This is what the Empress Dowager meant. She said that you are cousins, you are similar in age, and you happen to have a wedding together. It's a double blessing."

Shi Aizhu stopped talking immediately.

Liu Xuan has a strong temper, comparable to that of Shi Aizhu, she can shut herself in the room and never go out, without seeing anyone, except for a set of furniture in the main hall, there is not a single piece of decoration. Yes, but Princess Shunhua is more calm than Princess Minghua, and directly sent a message: "No one is allowed to talk to her, it's just right if she doesn't eat, starve her twice, and see if she still has the strength to cry."

Princess Shunhua was so cruel that Liu Xuan punched the cotton instead. She hadn't seen anyone come to deliver food in the past few days, only Liu Fang sneaked over to deliver snacks to her in the middle of the night.

Shui Judao: "What marriage did the eldest princess tell Xuan'er?"

Liu Fang smiled and said: "My surname is Lin, and my double name is Ruojiang. I'm from Jiangyin. I just won the Juren and came to Beijing to study. It's a coincidence. The last time my mother went out to offer incense, she was startled halfway, and everyone else would just go. Hiding aside, he was the only one who rushed up to stop the frightened horse. Although he was thrown away in the end, he bought time for the guards and controlled the horse. Mother thought it was good that he acted bravely. Seeing him being thrown off by the horse again The wound was quite serious, so we left someone to take care of him to recuperate, and after careful observation, he found that although he was kind-hearted, he dared to act bravely, so mother thought about it."

Shui Rou praised: "The weak scholar dares to stop the frightened horse with his own strength, which shows his wisdom and courage."

Before the words fell, Liu Xuan rushed out from the room and said loudly: "Hey, what loyalty, who knows if he is acting for mother, there are people like this, who are overestimated, and try to use such things to climb up Gao Zhi, I have seen a lot."

Liu Fang was a little helpless: "Xuan'er, I've already told you that Lin Ruojiang's nature is indeed not bad, but you just think of him as a liar."

Liu Xuan crossed her waist and said aggressively: "If it wasn't for a liar, how could I have coaxed my mother to marry me to him? I hate his little white face the most. He can't lift his shoulders or hands. I won't marry even if I die. give him."

Liu Xuan didn't eat or drink well in the past few days, and looked a little haggard. Lin Wanru was a little surprised. She didn't expect that both Shi Aizhu and Liu Xuan were dissatisfied with the husband their parents chose for them. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: I said, Aizhu and Xuan'er have changed, Duan Ling is a member of the military camp, generous, bold and generous, I think it is exactly what Xuan'er means, but Lin Ruojiang is gentle, isn't it the type that Aizhu likes? "

Liu Xuan's expression eased, she was obviously very interested in Duan Ling, Shuirou saw Lin Wanru's eyes smiling, and after a little thought she understood her intentions, what she can't get is the best, now that Aizhu and Xuan'er both If you are not satisfied with the choice of the elders, you can simply follow their preferences and let them get in touch with each other. No one can tell you as deeply as you can experience it yourself. By then, they will know what kind of husband they are more suitable for.

Shuirou smiled and said: "It seems that this is reasonable, and twisted melons are not sweet, how about this, I will be the host someday, and invite Duan Ling and Lin Ruojiang to let Xuan'er and Aizhu have a look, if they look at each other If you get the right eye, it is naturally very good, if you don't see the right eye, then you can only blame the lack of fate."

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "Good idea, our poetry club hasn't started for a long time, and when the time comes, I will invite my sister and Princess Chaohuang over, and everyone will be lively together."

Both Shi Aizhu and Liu Xuan were a little loose, but Liu Fang was thoughtful.

After coming out of Li Guogong's mansion, Lin Wanru said goodbye to Shui Rou, and when she returned to Chen's mansion, she ordered someone to pass on a message to Lin Daiyu, who would have brought the news that Miss Feng had a miscarriage, and she must have been overworked during the year , I didn't even feel pregnant, it was said that it was still a boy.

Lin Wanru felt worried when she heard this, so she wanted to go over to have a look, but was stopped by Long Yan: "Young Mistress just went out for a day, and now she is going out again, so you have to pay attention to your body, but the Young Master has repeatedly told you not to make Young Mistress tired, and go It depends on people, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when can't go, and it's getting late today, if I go, I will delay the time for dinner, and I don't know when I can come back."

Lin Wanru looked at her helplessly: "You are so wordy, if you don't go, you won't go, you prepare some things for Xie Niang to send over, just say it's late today, I'll go there tomorrow." He sighed again: " Sister Feng's heirs are already difficult, there has only been one Sister Qiao for so many years, and now she has had a miscarriage, and I don't know when she will be able to recover."
