Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

After talking for a long time, he wiped away his tears and said to Mrs. Wang: "I'm telling you it's a joke. I haven't been back to Suzhou since I married in the capital. My brothers always write letters to report good news but not bad news. If I hadn't met this Two, I am still kept in the dark now, alas, I only gave birth to one evil, now these two girls are also entitled to be my daughters, and now they live in Jia's house, please take care of my wife."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "You can be polite when you say this. Don't say that Daiyu is the granddaughter of our old lady's direct relative. My niece is like Wanru and my aunt. There is no one in the house who does not boast, old lady. I also like it like something, like the first day I came here, my niece Feng Jieer liked it when she saw it, and now they are all married sisters, they are a family, if Madam says something to worry about, she will die of embarrassment me."

Shen Shi didn't expect this, and she kept saying that she cared about it, but she didn't expect this level of relatives.

It was just an ordinary New Year's greeting, but now it's relatives who are visiting. Mrs. Wang also obviously felt that Shen's enthusiasm has increased, so she asked someone to set up a banquet and let them eat.

During the banquet, all the girls were very surprised when they knew about this relationship, and they all congratulated Lin Wanru and Shen's relatives for their recognition.

Shen's eyes narrowed when she smiled, and her address was changed from Miss Lin to Wanru, and said with a smile: "Wanru also looks a bit like her aunt, so I thought she had a kind face at first glance, and I heard that the surname was Lin, That's when I thought about asking, or should I miss it?"

Everyone said that they were blood relatives after all, and they had a certain feeling for each other.

After going back, Lin Wanru told Aunt Shen about this matter, Aunt Shen was also taken aback, and then started to cry, recalling the past, although Shen and Aunt Shen were cousins ​​at that time, but one was a concubine and the other was a concubine. , the two of them have a very good relationship because of their similar interests, and they do everything together. At that time, the Shen family and the Lin family were good friends, and they were very familiar with Lin Ruhai, and there was no taboo about calling each other brother and sister.

Later one time, Mrs. Shen and Aunt Shen asked Lin Ruhai to buy some small things and made an appointment to meet in the back garden, but they were met by Aunt Shen's aunt who said that Aunt Shen had an affair with Lin Ruhai.

Aunt Shen felt aggrieved, Mrs. Shen was there at the time, why just say she was unruly, and not because she was a concubine?

The aunt had disliked her for a long time, and thought that she would have to pay a dowry when she got married, so she made a big fuss about it. Aunt Shen's father said that Aunt Shen didn't follow the rules and wanted to beat her to death. In the end, Lin Ruhai stepped forward Come out, accept Aunt Shen as aunt.

Aunt Shen hated her father and aunt deeply. Ever since she married into the Lin family, she severed ties with the Shen family. She didn't go to the ceremony when Shen got married, so she didn't know where Shen got married.

Aunt Shen also came through hard times, Lin Ruhai was gentle and elegant, and her first wife Jia Min was also a virtuous one. Aunt Shen was also very knowledgeable, and she had been taking Zizi Tang before Jia Min was pregnant.

It wasn't until Jia Min gave birth to Daiyu that she stopped the decoction and gave birth to Wanru, but Lin Wanru was born weak. At that time, Lin Ruhai was going to Yangzhou to take up a post. Lin Wanru obviously couldn't move, so Aunt Shen took her to stay in Suzhou recuperate.

Aunt Shen couldn't tell the past about this to the two unmarried girls, she just said that there was no communication, there was no news, although the two were puzzled, they definitely wouldn't ask.Mother Jia called Aunt Shen over, and said it was fate, and said that Mrs. Shen had handed over the post, saying that she must come to visit Aunt Shen when she came to visit the next day.

After almost 20 years of separation, now that the sisters met each other, Aunt Shen cried again at Mother Jia's place. Mother Jia thought that Aunt Shen knew the rules and manners. Seeing that she is the daughter of the Shen family and also the cousin of the Shen family, it adds a layer of intimacy.

The next day, Mrs. Shen really came. Seeing Aunt Shen and sisters hugging each other and crying loudly, everyone wept when they saw it, and stepped forward to persuade them. Mrs. Shen stopped crying and thanked Mrs. Taking care of the grace, he also proposed to take Aunt Shen and Lin Wanru to live there.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "You are supposed to be sisters. I shouldn't refuse you. It's just that Wanru and Daiyu are sisters. If you accept Wanru alone, their sisters will be separated. If you take Daiyu I also took it, but I couldn't do without her, so I simply asked them to stay. I have lived here for a few months, and I am familiar with each place. Others think that the Jia family can't tolerate relatives, so you don't worry about telling them to stay here, are you afraid that I will treat them harshly?"

Shen hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? If I don't feel at ease with you, then there is no place to be at ease. It's just that our sisters are reunited, and I want to take them to live there for a while to be intimate."

Mother Jia smiled and replied: "Don't worry, it's your sister and niece, I can still hold them back? You are also busy in the first month of the lunar year. Now that they have passed, you can't clean up the house for a while to live in. Wait until you come out." Let's talk about it when the first month is free."

Having said that, Shen couldn't say anything, so she had to agree. Anyway, it's only a few days before the first lunar month, and she can find time to tidy up the house.

Ever since Mrs. Shen came here, Lin Wanru could clearly feel that the people in the Jia family treated them differently. At first they were polite with a bit of alienation, but now they are inexplicably more intimate. There was also envy in those words.

Wang Xifeng also came here specially, sighed, and told Lin Wanru to stay in Chen's house for a few days before coming back, don't forget her god-sister.

After the first lunar month, Aunt Shen and Lin Wanru were taken to live in the Chen family. The Chen family, like the Jia family, was one of the Eight Dukes, the mansion of the Duke of Qi who was conferred by the late emperor.

The old lady of the Chen family has passed away long ago. As the eldest daughter-in-law, Shen is now in charge of the family and she has given birth to the eldest son Chen Ruiwen. She has a stable position. Now she has brought her sisters and nieces from her natal family to live here. No matter what, they all came over to have fun, gathering a room full of people.

The Duke of Qi, Chen Yi, had three sons. The eldest son, Chen Yongming, married his wife Shen, and gave birth to the eldest grandson, Chen Ruiwen, and the second son, Chen Ruiyun, who was born to an aunt.

The second son, Chen Yongzhao, married his wife Ma Shi, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. They were the second young master Chen Ruiwu, the eldest daughter Chen Ruixue, and the second daughter Chen Ruiyu born to his aunt.

The third son, Chen Yonghui, married his wife Zhou, and gave birth to the fourth young master Chen Ruili and the third daughter Chen Ruishuang.

The Chen family is a family of military generals. Men practice martial arts since childhood. When they reach the age of 15, they will be sent to the military camp to practice. You can't even sit on the seat of General Megatron, the third rank.

From the second young master to the fourth young master, except for the fourth young master Chen Ruili who is still young and still in private school, the second young master and the third young master have already been sent to the military camp, and they don't come home until the Chinese New Year.

They are outsiders and not direct relatives, so it is inconvenient to show up at this time, so Lin Wanru and Aunt Shen only saw the second grandmother Ma Shi, the third grandmother Zhou Shi and the three girls.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and Shen took the two of them to see the house in person: "Our family is not bigger than the Jia family, and there are more rooms, but it is not as many as the Jia family, so there are two vacant houses. This Ningxiangzhai was originally lived by my son, but later he moved to the outer courtyard, and it became vacant, I asked someone to clean it, sister and Wanru, please don't dislike it."

Lin Wanru looked at Ning Xiangzhai, and knew that Shen Shi was being polite. The house Xiaosan entered was neat and tidy everywhere, not to mention that he and his aunt lived alone, even if there were seven or eight more people, it would be fine. It seems that Shen Shi His son is very favored, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live in such a nice house.

By the way, what is the name of Shen's son?In terms of kinship, I still have to call my cousin. It seems that both men and women of the Chen family belong to the Rui family.

Lin Wanru remembered that man named Ruiwen that day, and couldn't help sweating on his forehead, it couldn't be such a coincidence.

In the evening, Mrs. Shen cleaned up the dust for the two of them. After eating, they gathered together to talk, and a girl came to report: "The young master is back."

Lin Wanru looked up, and saw a tall man with a dusty face in blue coarse clothes, walked in, his face was indifferent, expressionless, his eyes were as cold as that day.

Lin Wanru couldn't help crying secretly, it really was him.

Chen Ruiwen also heard that her mother had recognized a sister, and now she took her home to stay for a short while. She was curious, and rushed over as soon as she entered the house. The first time she saw Lin Wanru sitting next to Aunt Shen, her heart felt like There was a huge wave.

It's actually her!

Chen Ruiwen kowtowed to Shen with a calm expression, but he regretted something in his heart. He had just returned from the military camp, covered in sweat and dirty, if he had known it was her, he should have done it. She's going to freshen up first, or else she thinks she's a rough and untidy person.

Then I was happy again, if she was the daughter of the sisters that my mother said, then she would be my cousin, and the relationship became closer, and I didn't have to contact that Jia Baoyu just to find out some news about the beautiful woman.

He had eighteen thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't see it on his face, Shen asked him with a smile: "How did you get this body? How rude to tell your aunt and sister to see each other."

Chen Ruiwen said: "I just came back from the military camp. I heard that my aunt and sister are here, so I rushed to say hello, but I didn't care about it."

Shen Shi smiled and introduced to Aunt Shen: "This is my wicked Ruiwen, your nephew."

Aunt Shen hurriedly said she didn't dare, if it was in the past, it would be fine, but now she is an aunt, but she can't afford Chen Ruiwen's courtesy.
