Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Wanru said: "Nowadays the entire Jia family is supported by my elder sister, and Mrs. Wang dare not do anything to her, but this is not a long-term solution. I will persuade my sister another day. Sister Feng can't manage the house, so there is no Mrs. Wang." And Mrs. Xing? The eldest grandma in the West Mansion is also good, my sister is weak, and spending money is small, so don't wear yourself out."

Aunt Shen smiled and said: "You have to say these things. These days, your aunt often takes me to Sixi Hutong to talk and be company. The days are very leisurely, and I made some small clothes and bags for my grandson to wear. Now look, You have to prepare another copy."

A few days later, the Shen family said that she would enter the palace to congratulate the crown prince, the crown prince was restored, and the crown princess was pregnant, so a high-ranking imperial wife would naturally enter the palace to congratulate her.

Lin Wanru had a big belly, Shen didn't want her to be tired, so she asked her to stay at home, but when Shen came back from the palace, another eunuch came to announce the decree, saying that the princess heard that Lin Wanru was pregnant, so she specially summoned her to talk.

Lin Wanru had no choice but to prepare to enter the palace. The weather was getting warmer. She was wearing a loose water-blue silk gown and a moon-white skirt, which looked very elegant. After the words came out, it turned out that the Crown Princess heard that Lin Wanru was pregnant with twins, so she called her into the palace, hoping to be happy.

Compared with the bustle of the past, Yuqing Palace seemed a bit deserted, and the Crown Princess was also more relaxed than before. Although she was wearing a bright red brocade dress, she couldn't hide the haggard look on her face. When she saw Lin Wanru coming in, a look appeared in her eyes. Envy, a touch of jealousy.

Although Lin Wanru was pregnant, her complexion was rosy, and she was a bit more charming than when she was not pregnant. The corners of her brows and eyes were filled with the love and joy of being a mother soon.

The Crown Princess gave Lin Wanru a seat, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the one in my stomach is only one month smaller than the one in Young Mistress Chen's stomach. From now on, I need to go to the palace often and get close."

Lin Wanru said modestly: "How dare the concubine be compared with the crown princess."

The princess covered her mouth and smiled, but didn't speak. She rewarded some tonics before serving the tea.

Lin Wanru couldn't help feeling baffled, when she met Chen Ruiwen who was waiting for her at the gate of the palace, Chen Ruiwen looked a little anxious.After seeing her, he breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted her from a distance: "Are you tired after walking such a long distance?"

Lin Wanru shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm walking slowly, it's just a walk, it's okay."

The two talked about the behavior of the princess on the way back. Chen Ruiwen smiled and said: "The prince is trembling now. I am afraid that if he is not careful, he will annoy the emperor and be deposed. The emperor is watching. On the one hand, he is angry, but on the other hand, he also feels pity The Crown Princess values ​​her belly even more. She called you into the palace today. First of all, you are also pregnant, so she can't help but feel close. But she is afraid that your delivery date will be ahead of her. When you give birth to a son, she will give birth to a daughter. .Won't it be compared?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "You know a lot, so tell me, do you want a son or a daughter?"

Chen Ruiwen thought for a while, and said: "I want a daughter, one is enough for a son, but the more daughters, the better. My father has three brothers, but only one sister. My grandfather has no sisters. Now in my generation, it is very easy to have three." Girl, we are in the next room, so we are not close after all, if we can have a daughter..."

A gentle look appeared in Chen Ruiwen's eyes: "I will promise her the best life, and make her better than being a princess."

Lin Wanru suddenly felt a little apprehensive: "I don't want to have a daughter. After giving birth to a daughter, you only have a daughter in your eyes, don't you? Just forget about me?"

Lin Wanru is such a childlike woman, Chen Ruiwen laughed: "How could you be forgotten? My daughter will get married when she grows up, and you are the only one who can grow old with me."

Lin Wanru immediately felt sweet, but she leaned into Chen Ruiwen's arms and muttered, "I can coax people."

Shi Aizhu and Liu Xuan's marriage is getting closer and closer, the two eldest princesses are ready to make a fuss, and the queen mother also sent a message, asking the two to marry together, double happiness.

The two are princesses who have received the jade certificate, and the wedding has certain standards and ceremonies, so no matter whether it is the mansion of the Duke of Shanguo or the mansion of the Duke of Liguo, they are all very busy. Shui Rou specially took Lin Wanru to see the two of them. dowry.

The dowries of the two were naturally rare treasures, including rewards from the palace, and the eldest princess's own private room. They laughed and played all day, and Lin Wanru returned home after dark.

The yard was already brightly lit, and there were two maids standing on the porch of the East Wing talking, looking at the light, one was Guixiang and the other was Qiongyao, Lin Wanru couldn't help frowning, and asked Suoyu to keep an eye on Qiongyao, only then did she know that Qiongyao often Holding things to curry favor with the girls in the yard, she couldn't talk to the big girls, so she bribed the little girls.

Although Long Yan taught them how to behave, he couldn't keep an eye on them for twelve hours. Qiong Yao ran out when she was free. Suoyu said, "I've been to the back door three times now, and every time I give two taels to the old lady who guards the door. Silver, I didn't expect her to have a lot of silver."

Lin Wanru thought for a while, and said: "Don't startle people, see who she is in contact with. It is said that the house rules are strict, and she is a newcomer. Who can get mixed up with? It must be Guan's side. His movement." Suoyu responded and left.

The seventh day of April is Lin Wanru's birthday, so the mansion was naturally lively. In the evening, Chen Ruiwen and Lin Wanru's husband and wife spent another time alone, and it was inevitable to spend some time together. Unexpectedly, Chen Ruiwen brought three people back home at night the next day. .

Lin Wanru looked at Yingchun, Siqi, and Xiuju who were in a panic, and was startled, and hurriedly asked someone to help her in to freshen up. After careful questioning, she realized that Yingchun was only thinking of sharing difficulties with Bao Changling , but accidentally learned that he had been married to the Bao family for almost two years, and he hadn't been recorded in the family tree yet.

In other words, she was not recognized by the Bao family at all, which is really bullying, and the clay figurines also have a three-point temper. Write down Yingchun's name.

Yingchun was really heartbroken, she invited her down, but the Bao family didn't let her go, Yingchun had no choice but to sneak out with Siqi Xiuju, if she hadn't met Chen Ruiwen halfway, she would have been chased by the Bao family go back.

Yingchun's face was sallow, and she was choked with tears: "I don't believe that I have such a hard life, and I have such a marriage. At first, they didn't like me. I just had to endure it. Later, Baojia fell into disrepair. I thought that as long as I was with you They were in trouble together, and they could slowly accept me, but they didn't regard me as their own family from the beginning to the end..."

Chen Ruiwen had already avoided the study, Lin Wanru asked someone to report to Jia's house, and at the same time cheered up to comfort her: "It's not a good thing to protect the family, now my sister understands, and when I tell the old lady, she will take care of her." You decide, when the time comes, let's sue the Bao family for a fraudulent marriage and see what they have to say."

Yingchun is a cowardly character, how can she not cry when encountering such a thing, after the Jia family received the letter, only Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian rushed over, and was also very angry when they heard about it, Jia Baoyu said angrily: "We must seek justice for the second sister, the Bao family is too bullying."

But Jia Lian said: "Let's take the second sister back first, the old lady is in a hurry at home." He thanked Chen Ruiwen solemnly, and then left with Yingchun.

Chen Ruiwen said: "Now the Jia family and the Bao family have formed a bond. If this matter gets out, what will the Jia family's face be? The Bao family is too dishonest to do such a thing."

Lin Wanru sighed and said, "Sister Feng still can't get out of bed, everything is on her shoulders, I hope there won't be any trouble, and my sister will be troubled for nothing."

The Bao family ignored the Jia family so much, how could the Jia family give up, Jia Lian took people to the Bao family at the order of Jia's mother, not only brought back the dowry of Yingchun, but also smashed the Bao family, leaving a piece of paper. He and Li Shu walked away.

Mrs. Bao was furious, but there was nothing she could do. Jia's family was still the state's government, but Bao's family was just a commoner. If it wasn't for the restoration of the crown prince, someone would have come to look for Bao's family. Baochang After the incident, Ling also went to Jia's house to apologize.

The original noble son-in-law turned into a heartless man who was spurned by everyone. Jiamu drove him away without even letting him in. The Bao family also asked the prince for help, but now the prince is trembling and walking on thin ice. Baojia, how dare he open his mouth, Baojia can only swallow his anger.

Lin Wanru listened to the constant stream of gossip, lamented that Yingchun was pitiful, and at the same time felt that the Bao family was hateful. In the blink of an eye, it entered May, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, because of Chen Ruixue's marriage, the rest of the Chen family also rushed to the capital one after another. After drinking the wedding wine, Mrs. Shen was busy cleaning the house, arranging servants, and welcomed a few people to move in.

Everyone in the Chen family started to dress up as well. Although the young ladies in the rest of the Chen family were not very close by blood, they were very affectionate because of their close contacts.

The Fourth Grandma Chen in Fujian is the richest, and she is also very generous. She has a good relationship with the Chen family, and when she found out that Lin Wanru was pregnant, she gave many expensive gifts. Except for Grandma Chen Fifth, she also sent gifts when they heard the news. Come over with a present.

Grandma Chen Wu seemed to be very struggling, and she was a little embarrassed: "I didn't know that my nephew and daughter-in-law were pregnant, so I came here empty-handed."

Grandma Chen San said with a smile: "The fifth sibling's words are so unreasonable. You came to eat Ruixue's wedding wine, are you also empty-handed?"

Everyone seemed to know that Grandma Chen San and Grandma Chen Wu were at odds, so they didn't speak. Lin Wanru was a junior, so she could only smooth things over: "It's my fault that the elders are tired." He also personally served tea to several grandmas.

Fourth Grandma Chen said with a smile: "Those two brats in our family are still causing trouble all day long. They are not like sisters-in-law. They are about to have grandchildren. They will be envious of others in the future."

Grandma Chen Liu and Grandma Chen Qi also echoed, their faces full of envy, Shen was very proud, but Grandma Chen Wu did not speak, Grandma Chen San seemed to be trying to make things difficult for her, and deliberately said: "Fifth brother and sister, your daughter-in-law listened to you last year. You said you are pregnant, why haven't you had the full moon wine yet?"
