Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

On the second day, Lin Wanru followed Mrs. Shen and Second Grandma Chen to Cao's house to visit Chen Ruixue. Mrs. Cao was eager for her grandson. The young mistress of the Chen family who gave birth to twin sons and was praised as being blessed by others, her eyes lit up, she praised Lin Wanru very enthusiastically, and wanted to ask for two pieces of clothes worn by Brother Cheng and Brother Yu for Chen. Ruixue pressed under the bed: "...it's a good omen, and I will also be blessed by the young mistress."

Lin Wanru saw that Mrs. Chen and Grandma Chen both smiled and said nothing, so she complied and said with a smile, "Where is my blessing, it's the child's blessing, who will be so hurt from birth."

After returning home, Lin Wanruo really found two pieces of clothes worn by Brother Cheng and Yu and sent them to Chen Ruixue. Chen Ruiwen joked when he saw it, "You have become Guanyin of Songzi." Lin Wanru said angrily: " Where did you hear it? What nonsense.”

Chen Ruiwen saw that her face was like peach blossoms, and she had been busy for a while, not only did she not lose weight, but she became more mature and charming, her heart moved, and she hugged her in her arms: "Let's have a daughter, who will have both sons and daughters, and others will be jealous when they look at her."

Lin Wanru's face turned red, and she was overjoyed at the thought of having a well-behaved daughter, so she followed Chen Ruiwen's actions.

The young couple were already passionate, but since they had a child, Lin Wanru had to take care of the child and take care of the housework every day. Things were extremely cumbersome. After a busy day, sometimes she fell asleep when she went back, and Chen Ruiwen would inevitably have entertainment outside. He was exhausted, and he was tired when he went home, and sometimes he thought, Lin Wanru couldn't bear to sleep after touching the pillow so tired, after all, he hadn't been so careless for a long time.

Unsurprisingly, he woke up late the next day. Chen Ruiwen took a rest and lay on the bed in a obscene dress, watching Lin Wanru hurriedly wash up.He laughed and said, "What's the rush? I'm busy today. I'll ask someone to tell my mother that it's over."

Lin Wanru got up late and was in a hurry, her hands and feet were weak again, and she had to tie her belt twice before it was fastened. Seeing Chen Ruiwen's idle and nonchalant expression, she said angrily, "Today I'm going to see my cousin with my mother, she's going to give birth soon. It’s gone. No one from my natal family is here again, my aunt asked my mother to go and see her.”

Unexpectedly, before Lin Wanru left the house, someone from Shen's side came to pass the message: "Grandma said that Sixi Hutong has sent a message that my uncle has a grandson, and someone will send red eggs."

Lin Wanru was startled: "Give birth so soon?"

Hurriedly to Shen's side, Shen said with a smile: "There is no certainty about having a baby. This saves a lot of trouble, and we don't have to make this trip, we will go when we are in the third place."

Lin Wanru agreed.After returning home, he asked someone to take out the safety lock Ruyi ring that the child had prepared early in the morning, and asked someone to wrap a pack of medicinal materials for Zhishu He.

Jiang Dao became a father, Jiang Wenming embraced his grandson, Sixi Hutong was full of laughter, Deng Yuan, Wen Lingfeng and even Wei Junzi were all there, it was obviously a gathering place for scholars, Lin Wanru was afraid that Chen Ruiwen would be squeezed out by Wei Junzi , wanting to call him back.

Chen Ruiwen smiled and said: "It's all here, what will it look like when you leave?"

Lin Wanru said worriedly: "If Junzi Wei says something unpleasant, you can ignore him, these literati like to play tricks the most." Chen Ruiwen gave Lin Wanru a reassuring look.Seeing Jiang Dao greeted him personally, he followed him to the study to talk, while Lin Wanru followed Shen into the inner room to read He Zhishu.

He Zhi's face was rosy, and he could tell at a glance that he was being taken care of well. There was a small swaddle beside her, and the baby inside was sleeping.There is also a milk foam the size of a rice grain at the corner of the mouth, which is very cute.

Mrs. Jiang has grandchildren who are full of things, so she was so happy, and asked Lin Wanru why she didn't bring Brother Cheng and Yu, Lin Wanru smiled and said: "The two children were taken away by the grandfather before we came, the old man I just like to see my grandson in front of me."

Mrs. Jiang agreed very much: "It is said that they are relatives in the next generation. This sentence is not wrong at all. When Dao'er was a child, his father kept a straight face all day long, but now he is smiling at his grandson."

Everyone laughed, and just as Jiang Wenming sent someone to take his grandson to him, everyone laughed harder.

During the three baptisms, whether it was Mrs. Shen or Aunt Shen, they all threw away golden lockets, which made Wen Po, who was holding the child, very happy. The auspicious words followed one after another, and the scene was very lively.

Returning home from Sixi Hutong, Lin Wanru first went to Chen Yi to pick up the two children, and then went to say hello to Mrs. Shen, but she saw that Mrs. Shen's face was not very good-looking. Lin Wanru was stunned, and she was still smiling during the day He looked very happy, why did his skills change after a while?

When Shen saw her, she didn't shy away from it, and said to her: "I saw Mrs. Jiang hugging her grandson happily like something, and I thought of Sister Man..."

Shen's tone was a bit choked up, and Lin Wanru was also silent. Guan Qing brought his son to deal with Guan's affairs. Under Shen Aixiao's insistence, Guan was finally taken back to Jinling, but he didn't write a divorce letter. Guan cried and quarreled and refused to leave, scolded Shen Aixiao for being ungrateful, and scolded several children for being unfilial, and there was a lot of trouble, finally Shen Aixiao asked her if she wanted to leave or divorced.

Seeing that Shen Aixiao was really hard-hearted, Guan Shi was afraid that no one would offer incense after death, so he followed Guan Qing obediently back. Although Guan Shi left, he offended the housekeeper. In the end, it was Shen Aixiao who spoke, asking Shen Quan to escort Shen Man back to Suzhou, asking Shen Yueming to help find a marriage, and the Shen family continued to live in the old house under the leadership of Shen Aixiao.

Shen herself was sad for a while, seeing that Lin Wanru didn't make a sound, she understood in her heart, so she wiped away her tears and said, "I'm just sad for a while, but it's okay, as long as I can live a good life, it's not too late now."

He also babbled about how Shen Erniang and Shen Sanniang looked at their son-in-law and daughter-in-law. Lin Wanru was not interested in these things, and she didn't care about them on weekdays, but Mrs. Shen knew better. Lin Wanru laughed and said: "So Cousin Ying is going to get married at the end of the year?"

Shen Shi said: "I didn't mean it. After all, the foundation of the Feng family is there. It's easy to talk about getting married. I've already asked my second uncle to persuade my second brother-in-law not to stay in the capital, but to find a good job abroad. It's nothing better than anything else. As for the third brother-in-law, he can't be high-ranking or low-level, he hasn't been well-known in his studies, and he doesn't have that talent in business, no matter how good Mi'er and Ning'er are, it's hard to talk about marriage."

Lin Wanru nodded. She believed that when Shen Sanniang married Gao Yuan, she felt that Gao Yuan had great potential. As long as he took the imperial examinations, Shen Sanniang's day would not be far away. , Regardless of the general affairs, I have not passed the exam now, and the general affairs at home are also in a mess, and neither side has caught it.

Soon into April, the day of Princess Chaohuang's wedding is approaching, Lin Wanru was dragged into the palace twice to see the materials sent by Tianyifang, each time more beautiful, Princess Chaohuang actually picked flowers In the end, Shi Aizhu and Liu Xuan made suggestions in a hurry, and then Feng Laiyi was settled. Now, the wedding dress has been prepared, and the dowry is also available. The rest is the business of the Sheng family. Let's see how the Sheng family handles this marriage.

In fact, there is no need for the Sheng family to come forward, everything is done by the people of the House of Internal Affairs. The Sheng family is just responsible for entertaining the people of the House of Internal Affairs. The Princess Mansion that the emperor rewarded Chaohuang is next to the house of the Sheng family. Figure a convenient.

In addition, [-] mu of land, [-] mu of paddy fields and two farms of more than [-] mu were rewarded.

This kind of dowry is very generous for marrying a princess. If someone would have said it before, but now the emperor only has one daughter, and marrying one daughter with something that is more than enough to marry five daughters in the past, who can say that one is not good? What about words?

Even if Lin Wanru was lazy to go out every day, news of various princesses getting married came in continuously. Lin Wanru only listened to it as gossip, but stayed at home more and more, and only took care of housework every day, or just accompanied her. With two children, she didn't go to the palace with Shen Shi to drink the wedding wine until the wedding day.

Other people's eyes and words are full of envy for the Sheng family. After a banquet, they heard a lot about the Sheng family. On the way back, Shen and Lin Wanru said: "Who knew about the Sheng family before? If you know it, you don’t take it seriously, now that Sheng Wen has honored the princess, and the cats and dogs of the Sheng family have become more expensive, this is really a one-man success."

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "The emperor did this on purpose, just to let everyone see how much he loves the princess, so that the Sheng family will not dare to neglect the princess." Shen said: "That's true, no matter who it is , As long as you become a parent, you will have the same thoughts."

Princess Chaohuang's marriage finally fulfilled the wish of Concubine Roujia, while Lin Wanru focused on Chen Ruiwu and Xue Baochai's marriage.

There is nothing wrong with the Chen family, Second Grandma Chen has been busy marrying her daughter-in-law for a long time, and she has everything she needs, but the Xue family is really in a hurry, but since the Xue family is an imperial merchant, I am afraid that there are no good things what?

Lin Wanru had seen Xue Baochai's dowry list at Second Grandma Chen's place, and they were all shops, with only a few farms.

Lin Wanru couldn't help feeling depressed when she thought that her dowry consisted of farms except for two shopfronts.

This is the difference between the scholarly family and the business family. At that time, when Lin Daiyu added makeup to Lin Wanru, she specifically said that she should marry more farms. In the future, she only needs to send reliable people to watch over her. Account book planning, laborious.

Shen also said to Lin Wanru in private: "Aunt Xue can also be a human being. The younger siblings brought the 1 taels of silver as a dowry, and she put it in the dowry and brought it back. Not to mention, she also added a dowry of 2 taels of silver. The new daughter-in-law has these family properties by her side, so she won't be afraid of running out of money to spend even if the family is separated in the future."

Lin Wanru smiled. When she went to add makeup to Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai acted as if money was something outside of him, but worried about his elder brother Xue Pan: "My sister-in-law didn't know she was strong until she got married. Mother-in-law is soft-tempered. Before I I'm not at home, and my sister-in-law has taken over the whole family. Now when I come back, my sister-in-law is happy to hear that she is going to marry again, but when she hears that my mother is going to prepare a dowry of 2 taels of silver, she loses face Let’s go down, it’s brother who came forward to make a decision, otherwise the mother will be in a state of idleness."
