Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Shen Sanniang was stunned for a while, before she said: "Wan Ru is really kind-hearted."

Shen became more and more angry: "Wan Ru is so kind-hearted, but you suspect her, it's really maddening."

Shen Sanniang said awkwardly: "Since that's the case, what else do I have to worry about? I'll call Ning'er Mier over some other day and thank Wanru in person."

But Shen refused: "Let them talk about their young sisters themselves. If you talk too much, it will not be beautiful."

Shen Sanniang repeatedly said yes, and told Shen Erniang when she went back, Shen Erniang was still a little hesitant, Shen Sanniang said angrily: "Second sister, among other things, this time the second brother-in-law wants to stay in the capital, it is not because of the Chen family, you offended Wan Ru, What's the advantage? After all, she and Ruiwen are husband and wife, and they are married for a day, and she is pregnant with the eldest son of the Chen family. She is in a stable position. You should give up the idea of ​​asking Yinger to marry her as soon as possible, and find a good one. Son-in-law. Think about it, even if the second sister's thoughts come true, Yinger will fill the house when she marries, how can she be the first wife of the first wife? Besides, now there is a young grandmother and cousin from the Duke's mansion to help Zhang Luo, who can't look up to her One look? In the future, not only Ying'er's marriage, but Yi'er's future will also be involved. Now that she wants to show her affection, let's go down the slope. Anyway, it's my mother who has enmity with her, not us, so don't be confused. "

Shen Erniang scolded: "What are you talking about, do you want to turn to her and not to mother just because of a little favor for her?"

Shen Sanniang looked indifferent: "I'm doing this for Ning'er and Mi'er. Besides, mother, I didn't say it. If she didn't make trouble, Sister Man would not be able to be a concubine. Sister Man is the head of the Shen family. Girl, who is to blame for this situation now? If the same thing happens, I'm afraid Ning'er and Mi'er won't be able to please. I'd better find a good husband for them earlier."

Erniang Shen was silent. When she was a woman, her mother was naturally more important than anything else, but when she had children, let alone her mother, even she had to lean back.Putting children first in everything, now Lin Wanru's proposal is really tempting. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop. She gritted her teeth and agreed.

Guan, however, called his two daughters over and firmly refused to ask them to agree.Shen Erniang and Shen Sanniang moved out of the Shen family as security, but the Guan family still refused.He said: "Even if a few girls never marry, Lin Wanru can't be a matchmaker. Who knows what kind of peace she has in mind."

Both Shen Erniang and Shen Sanniang were a little unhappy when they heard the words, but they couldn't say anything, but the eyes of the fourth grandmother who was on the side rolled. She also has two unmarried daughters.Then he smiled and said: "Mother might as well agree, if it's really a good thing, we will naturally not suffer. If something happens, Lin Wanru will definitely give us an explanation, and we have nothing to lose."

Guan Shi was determined not to let go, and angrily said: "If I say no, I won't allow it. Let's see if any of you dare to hide it from me."

Now even the fourth grandma was a little unhappy.

Because of Shen Man being a concubine, the marriage of the fourth grandma's two daughters, Shen Fu and Shen Rong, has been affected. When talking about marriage, people will definitely ask who my sister married to. If she is a concubine, they will definitely ask Guess, why do good girls become concubines?Is it misconduct?My sister is misbehaving, is my sister doing the same?In the end, it would be strange for people to be able to get married.

Fourth Grandma told Fourth Master Shen about this matter at night. Fourth Master Shen is a big man who doesn't care about the twists and turns between women, and said: "Since it's Wan Ru's kindness, you call the two children Just go."

Seeing that her husband also agreed, the fourth grandmother happily agreed.

Taking advantage of Guan Shi's inattention, the fourth grandma brought Shen Fu and Shen Rong to the Chen family as a guest. Although the fourth grandma was Guan Shi's daughter-in-law, she was also from a scholarly family when she came here, and she also looked down on Guan Shi in her heart. Vicious pie.

Secondly, before Guan Shi blindly favored the little Guan Shi, his niece, he was inevitably alienated from the Fourth Mistress. It was due to resentment, so when he saw Lin Wanru, he was very affectionate.

Lin Wanru was naturally warm and courteous, and she was considerate and courteous to Shen Fu and Shen Rong. On the way back, Shen Fu was fine, and Shen Rong was young, so she said to the fourth grandmother: "Grandmother said Wanru's sister is not a good person, but I But I think she is very kind, knowing that I like sweets, she specially asked someone to make honey osmanthus cake for me."

The fourth grandmother looked at her daughter lovingly: "Your grandmother doesn't like Wanru, so she is not good. If she is not good, can the big aunt value her so much? You should have a good relationship with Wanru in the future."

Shen Fu snorted: "Mother, don't let grandma hear what you say, otherwise it will be another meal."

The fourth grandmother said angrily: "Damn girl, are you and I doing it for you? Sister Man is a concubine, do you want to be a concubine too?"

Shen Fu's face flushed immediately and she was speechless.

However, Lin Wanru went to Shuirou to talk about it, and Shuirou readily agreed, and ordered someone to send ten blank postcards, asking her to invite anyone she wanted. Lin Wanru counted the heads, Feng Ying, Gao Ning Er, Gao Mier, Shen Fu, and Shen Rong each had one post, and the remaining five posts were invited to Shen Quan, Shen Zheng, Shen Nuo, Shen Yu and Feng Yi.

Shen Quan, who received the post, had complicated thoughts and didn't know what to do.

Showed it to Xiao Guan, but Xiao Guan agreed. She always felt that she owed the eldest son a lot. She originally relied on her own ability to pass the examination, but because of the grievances between the Jiang family and the Shen family, she became a bribed.

And because of Sister Man's matter, there has been no proper marriage so far, and the resentment towards Guan has added another layer. Now that he has the opportunity to show his face, Xiao Guan immediately prepares new clothes for the two sons to go to the banquet.

The fourth grandmother, Shen Erniang, and Shen Sanniang also secretly dressed up their own daughters, but they coincidentally all concealed it from Guan Shi.

Shuirou has been talking about the banquet these days, and she has come to Chen's house more frequently, and today she came to discuss with Lin Wanru the porcelain for the banquet, Lin Wanru kept her for lunch, and the kitchen staff got a message, After tidying up a table of banquets, Shui Rou said with a smile: "Now you are living a comfortable life. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, you don't have to worry about anything else. It's not like me. I'm tired of being a cow and a horse."

Lin Wanru knew that Shui Rou's parents had both died, and she was living with her elder brother. She was worried about everything in the inner house, that is, marriage. It would be very difficult for a widow and eldest daughter not to marry. Brother, it hurts, no matter the queen mother or the extremely noble people in the palace like you very much, what are you afraid of?"

Shuirou smiled without saying a word, but there was a hint of sadness in her brows.

The banquet was divided into three days. On the first day, Lanyin Society was invited to sing, on the second day, Meizhitang was invited, and on the third day, Jieyun Class was invited. They were all famous actors who were difficult to invite. Now that they are gathered together, the whole capital is discussing In this matter, some fans even asked Shui Rou for a post just to listen to the play.

Early in the morning of the first day, Lin Wanru dressed up carefully, because most of the people present today were unmarried girls, she picked out a navy blue beanie, which looked a bit old-fashioned, but with the pearl on her head, it made her look even more beautiful. The skin is better than snow, gentle and moving.

Fearing that there would be too many people crowding her, Chen Ruiwen told her again and again, and then let her go. Lin Wanru was accompanied by Long Yan and Xie Niang, feeling very safe, and felt that Chen Ruiwen was a little unfounded.

Shi Aizhu and Liu Xuan also came, one was dressed in bright red and was full of energy, the other was dressed in tender green, looking lively and cute, and Shui Rou was wearing a goose yellow dress, soft and charming, Lin Wanru looked at Shi Aizhu and Liu Xuan with a smile : "Since you choose it yourself, you are not allowed to play tricks."

Shi Aizhu's face turned red, but Liu Xuan said generously, "As long as I like it, I'm sure I won't cheat. What about Duan Ling?"

Shui Rou said with a smile: "What's the hurry, today I have the Queen Mother's order, so I don't have to worry about avoiding suspicion, I can see you soon."

Lin Wanru and the others introduced the Shen family's daughters, Shen Fu was quiet, Shen Rong was lively, Feng Ying was elegant, Gao Ning'er and Gao Mi'er were charming and charming, they greeted each other and sat talking together, the scene was very lively.

As more and more people came, the Taoyuan Garden was also bustling with people, almost all the girls with status in the capital were here, and everyone was in the blooming season of fifteen, six or seven years old, and they were called sisters and sisters, Laughing and making noise.

However, Shui Rou introduced to Lin Wanru the princess of Xining County and the third mistress of Zhongshun Palace. The princess of Xining County is tall, slender, with an oval face, soft and quiet, and amiable. , They were also very polite to Lin Wanru.

Among the people present, only the three of them were married, so they gathered together to talk. The Princess of Xining County is not very old, and she is a second wife. .

The third young lady has been in the house for several years and has nothing to do. Knowing that Lin Wanru is pregnant, she is very envious, thinking that she is really blessed to have a child as soon as she enters the house.

The three of them talked about their family's injustice, and the girls outside were in groups of three or five, either painting, playing chess, or playing on the swings. When it was time for the banquet, everyone went to the Qunfang Pavilion where the banquet was held. , Qunfang Pavilion is a resting place in Peach Garden, very spacious.

At this time, the doors and partitions were removed, and the left and right secondary rooms and the middle hall were opened up to form a wide hall. On the left are the girls of each family, on the right are the sons of each family, and in the middle is Xining, the host of Shuirou Town. The princess of the county, Lin Wanru and the third grandma sat beside her.

This banquet is an opportunity for the two parties to see each other, because after all, they are the children of nobles, and it is impossible for you to meet me and I to meet you in broad daylight. We can only use this opportunity to let the two parties get to know each other better. How can we understand each other?

It depends on how the master assigns it. After all, Shuirou is a girl's family, and there are some things that are hard to say and can't be said. On the contrary, the princess of Xining County has taken the lead, because today's main purpose is the marriage of Shi Aizhu and Liu Xuan, so let's go first. Duan Ling was invited to speak.
