Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Chen Ruiwen had already knelt down, bowed his head to pay his respects, and called "Auntie".

This is also an acknowledgment.

Aunt Shen's eye circles were red, she went to help Chen Ruiwen herself, and said incessantly: "My good boy, I know you are sensible, so you don't have to."

Lin Wanru was naturally happy to see Chen Ruiwen treating Aunt Shen so courteously. Originally, she still had some grievances because of what happened that day, but now she was halfway there, and when Aunt Shen asked her to come forward to say hello, she smiled and blessed her: "Ruiwen Hello cousin, my name is Wanru."

Chen Ruiwen forced himself to endure the wild beating in his heart, and called out: "Just like a younger sister."

Shen Shi then smiled and said: "Okay, auntie and younger sister will live at home for a while from now on, there will be a lot of time to see each other, why don't you hurry up and wash up, the stench of this whole body will suffocate your younger sister carefully."

Lin Wanru pursed her lips and laughed, and Chen Ruiwen resigned and left.

Aunt Shen praised her: "You are young and promising. My sister is lucky. With such a good son, I don't have to worry about it in the future."

Shen was naturally proud, because she was not humble towards Aunt Shen, and said with a smile: "This child has been brought up by his grandfather since he was a child, he is a young man who is dignified, and no one will boast when he sees him. Although I am happy, I am also worried. Panic, it's all over, I told him about the marriage, no one liked it, but his grandfather still turned to him, saying that a man should focus on making meritorious deeds."

Aunt Shen said: "It's also because the fate has not yet come. I see that this child is so good, which girl in the future will be worthy of him, even if it is a princess or princess, I'm afraid I can marry it."

Aunt Shen was joking, but Lin Wanru secretly laughed. In the previous life, Chen Ruiwen, the heir of Duke Qi, really married the princess, and she married the emperor's only daughter, Princess Chaohuang. The emperor gave birth to six sons, but only one daughter. Nature is very loving.

Moreover, Princess Chaohuang's biological mother was the emperor's cousin, Concubine Roujia. Princess Chaohuang was of high status and high vision, and no one would look down on her.

At that time, the wedding of the two was extravagant and extravagant, which made people look sideways. Even the red carpet that was spread on the ground during the grand ceremony was also embroidered one by one by going to the south of the Yangtze River to collect embroiderers.

At that time, men envied that Chen Ruiwen had to marry the princess, and women envied Princess Chaohuang's wedding. This grand event made people talk about it for four or five months.

In this life, this Chen Ruiwen has actually become his cousin. Although Auntie and Shen are only cousins, and Chen Ruiwen and I are also cousins ​​who have turned a corner, they are also the first siblings besides Lin Daiyu. Cherishing it, I decided to find an opportunity to explain clearly to Chen Ruiwen what happened that day, after all, I will see you when I bow my head and never look up.

Chen Ruiwen went back to the courtyard, and immediately asked Lingxi, a young servant, to inquire about this matter. After he finished washing, Lingxi also came back, and said: "That day Mrs. Jia brought a few girls to the house as guests, look at the eldest grandma. Seeing that the cousin looks familiar, I asked a question. After asking, I found out that the cousin was the daughter of the concubine. Not only that, but the father of the cousin was Lin Ruhai. When they were in Suzhou, the Shen family and the Lin family were good friends, not just relatives. , It’s still an old friend, the eldest grandma was very happy, and went to invite him the next day, but the old lady of the Jia family didn’t let him go until the first month came, and the eldest grandma went to invite him again, so she invited her.”

Chen Ruiwen frowned: "If it's about relatives, our family is closer than the Jia family, why doesn't the Jia family let people go?"

Lingxi said: "I heard from sister Ganoderma next to the grandma that the cousin's sister is the granddaughter of the old lady of the Jia family, and she loves her very much. The Jia family said that the sisters should not be separated and kept it. Now, the aunt and wife Miss Cousin also came to stay for a while, and she will go back in a few days."

Chen Ruiwen's complexion darkened. According to his understanding, the Jia family was not so kind, and he had already found out about the Jia family a while ago. There are many unworthy descendants. The aunt and cousin living there are also dependent on others, and I am afraid they will suffer. A lot of grievances.

Because it was getting late, Chen Ruiwen suppressed himself and did not go to the main room, but arrived at Mrs. Shen's place early the next morning. Mrs. Shen was washing, and she was very surprised when she saw her son coming: "What are you doing here so early?"

Seeing Lin Wanru's absence, Chen Ruiwen felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't want Mrs. Shen to see it, so he said: "I was busy in the military camp a few days ago and didn't spend time with my mother, so I came here early this morning."

Shen smiled and said: "I know you are busy, and those people in the military camp can't go home for the New Year. You have to drink with them and listen to their complaints. I didn't say anything in front of your aunt yesterday. You people gathered together I can do anything, but I can’t avoid going to those dirty places again? I don’t care how others make trouble, you can’t do it, drinking and sex hurts your body, I also know that you are old, I can lift two girls for you, but I can’t Go mess around in that kind of place."

Chen Ruiwen's face flushed immediately: "What did mother say, I have never been there before."

Shen smiled and said: "It's best if you haven't been there before. You are always served by young servants. How about I call Michelle and Du Juan from my yard to serve you? Both of them are docile."

Chen Ruiwen shook his head again and again: "Mom, don't be busy, I don't want it."

Seeing her son's rare embarrassment, Shen couldn't help but smile: "You are eighteen, what's so embarrassing?"

However, Chen Ruiwen thought of Lin Wanru and just shook his head.

Mrs. Chen didn't force him, she asked someone to prepare breakfast, and said to talk to Aunt Shen after dinner: "Our sisters haven't seen each other for many years, and we have so much to say, I don't need you to accompany me today, you go and do your own business. "

Chen Ruiwen said: "The matter has been pushed away, mother just doesn't want me to accompany her, why is she driving me out?"

Shen smiled and said that she was confused, had dinner with Chen Ruiwen, and went to Ningxiangzhai together.

Unexpectedly, the three sisters of the Chen family had already passed away, and they were sitting in the courtyard with Lin Wanru playing rope flipping, and the maids serving around them were all playing their own games.

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "Auntie is here, and Auntie is busy in the kitchen. She said that when Auntie comes, she will make chestnut cake that Auntie likes most."

Shen's heart warmed, and she felt that she was a sister after all. She had been married for more than ten years, and her sisters-in-law didn't know that her favorite snack was chestnut cake, but Wu Niang still remembered it.

So Chen Ruiwen was asked to play with his sisters, and he went into the kitchen.

Chen Ruiwen couldn't wish for it, so he sat next to him. With him around, the maids were more restrained. Lin Wanru thought of the place where the Jia family and Jia Baoyu were all laughing and laughing, so she couldn't help laughing secretly. , then you will lose if you flip the rope.

Chen Ruixue was considerate, and said: "Brother doesn't like the things we girls play, why don't we go to the garden to play on the swings, brother is strong, let him push from behind."

Chen Ruiyu clapped his hands and said, "Swinging on the swing is fun, let's call fourth brother."

Chen Ruishuang said casually, "Father is taking a test for my elder brother's homework, I'm afraid I won't be able to come, let's play by ourselves."

Naturally, Chen Ruiwen would not refuse, and took a few younger sisters to the garden. Although it was still winter, the sun was shining brightly, and they were sweating from playing on the swings. The three girls of the Chen family were very innocent, and Lin Wanru was very happy. I like it, I relaxed my mind and made myself sweat like an ordinary 14-year-old girl.

Long Yan then took a handkerchief to wipe Lin Wanru's sweat, and said, "Miss, you didn't enjoy playing so much before, be careful and won't get up tomorrow."

Lin Wanru waved his hand: "It's okay." He wanted to drink the tea that was left to dry, but Chen Ruiwen took it away. He said in a warm voice, "If the tea is cold, I will have a stomachache. Tell the girl to pour it hot."

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "Thank you cousin for reminding me, but I'm very hot, so I can drink this herbal tea happily."

Chen Ruiwen said: "I coveted the pleasure for a while, but it hurt my stomach and left the root of the disease. Don't do this again." He also asked the girl to pour warm tea and hand it to her: "Aren't you thirsty? Drink it quickly. "

Chen Ruishuang sat on the swing, grinning, "Brother, I'm thirsty too, and I want to drink tea too."

Chen Ruiwen was very good-tempered and brought her tea again.

After playing all morning, Chen Ruixue and the others went back to eat separately, Chen Ruiwen and Lin Wanru went back to Ningxiangzhai, Lin Wanru hesitated for a moment, but quietly said to Chen Ruiwen: "The last time at Jiayuan's house..."

Chen Ruiwen stopped in his tracks and looked at her quietly: "What's going on in Jia's house?"

Lin Wanru was taken aback, did he forget?But probably not, she reacted a little later, pursed her lips and smiled: "My cousin is right, there is nothing wrong."
