Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

As princes, they don't need to salute to aunt Shen, but when they saw Chen Yi, they kowtowed three times respectfully, Chen Yi also accepted it calmly, and looked at the sixth prince with a smile: "I heard you got into trouble again? "

The sixth prince, Hong An, is only 11 years old, four years younger than the fifth prince. He is the only prince who does not have another palace and lives with his mother and concubine. The emperor likes him very much, and he is very conniving. How did my grandfather know."

Chen Yi laughed loudly: "Is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know? You pulled all the hair off the crown prince's parrot. The prince is so angry that the emperor is still protecting you."

The sixth prince muttered: "That flat-haired bastard doesn't please you..." The second prince stared at him and stopped talking.

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking in the study room, but they guarded the third floor outside. The entire mansion knew that the second and sixth princes were coming, and their voices were three points lower. Naturally, it was not easy for Lin Wanru to go to Shen's place, so Chen Ruixue and Chen Ruiyu Pulled to the second room.

Mrs. Ma ordered someone to cook Lin Wanru's favorite dish, and called Chen Ruishuang. It was quite lively. During the middle, she met Mrs. Ma's eldest son, Chen Ruiwu. He was not as tall as Chen Ruiwen, but he was strong. It was like a door panel at the door, making the room dark. He was tall and strong, and he spoke kindly. When he saw Lin Wanru, he smiled and gave her a little clay figurine: "I bought it at the east gate, it's not that expensive. Sister, keep it and play."

Chen Ruishuang was the youngest, and looked enviously, but dared not ask for it. Chen Ruiwu took out three more like a magic trick, and gave them to three girls respectively. The four clay figurines just made up the fourth teacher in Journey to the West only.

The four girls chattered and played with each other, but Mrs. Ma asked Chen Ruiwu: "The second and sixth princes are here, why don't you go and accompany them?"

Chen Ruiwu said: "They were talking in grandfather's study, what did I do in the past?"

Ma Shi sighed: "It's not that your grandfather doesn't value you, you are still young, it's important to go to school first, and when you are able to be independent, everyone in the house will have to look up to you."

Chen Ruiwu didn't speak, but he agreed in his heart. It's the same as being in the military camp. Regardless of the age of birth, it only depends on whose fists are strong and whose martial arts are strong. Just as strong, even stronger than him, it just depends on your own efforts.

The four people in the study room talked for an hour before they came out. Mrs. Shen had already prepared the food and drink, but she didn't dare to ask anyone to rush her, so she had to wait until the middle of the afternoon before the meal was finished. Walking away, he put down three purses: "My concubine asked me to bring them, saying it was for the three cousins."

Shen Shi also took it over to thank her, but Chen Ruiwen was a little unhappy, there were only three, so Lin Wanru would not have one, and they were considered redundant in Jia's family, so would they also be considered redundant in Chen's family?

The second prince didn't pay attention, but the sixth prince, who had been looking around, noticed it. He was a little puzzled, and when he got out of Shen's courtyard, he asked Chen Ruiwen, "Why is cousin unhappy?"

The second prince also looked over. Among the three, Chen Ruiwen was the biggest. Although the second prince was a prince and was favored by the emperor, he was respectful in front of Chen Ruiwen.

Chen Ruiwen wanted to say something, but he was afraid that Lin Wanru's reputation would be bad, so he swallowed the words and said, "It's nothing, you go back and study hard, practice martial arts hard, don't be naughty anymore." The sixth prince's face Pulled down immediately.

Hearing that the two princes had left, everyone felt a sense of relief. After lunch, Lin Wanru slept in Ningxiangzhai. When she woke up, she heard that the two princes had gone, so she went to Mrs. Chen's place.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen looked unhappy. Seeing Lin Wanru's arrival, she relaxed, asked her if she had lunch in the second room, nodded, and said: "Just now, the Jia family sent someone to pick you up. You, I came to pick you up after only staying for a few days, those who didn’t know thought you were their real lady.”

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "Auntie, don't be angry, Auntie is still in the mansion after all, I have lived here for two days, Auntie will miss me too."

Shen sighed, took Lin Wanru's hand and said, "My good boy, I know you must have suffered a lot in Jia's house. I know those people very well. They are kind on the face, but disgusted behind the scenes. There are people who say gossip, and now I have wronged you and your aunt, and I will plan to take you over after a while."

Lin Wanru thanked her with a smile. In fact, if you say you are wronged, it is not considered wronged. Food and drink are the first order. Anyone who sees them is polite. It's over when you don't know.

The Shen family dismissed the people from the Jia family, and insisted on keeping Lin Wanru for another day. The people from the Jia family originally said they would come to pick them up the next day. Somewhat annoyed.

Chen Ruiwen looked at Lin Wanru who was bewildered and helpless, standing alone by the side, smiling and comforting Shen, and felt a little sad, remembering what Jia Baoyu said, she is not without temper, but she has no right to lose her temper. Chen Ruiwen understood the pain again, and his heart became more determined.

He said: "I'll take my sister back." Seeing that it was getting dark, Shen really wanted to keep Lin Wanru behind, but she had packed her bags, so she had no choice but to agree.

Chen Ruiwen didn't ride a horse, but built a carriage with Lin Wanru. The carriage was a little dark, and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly. The sound of the wheels creaking and creaking was heard quietly. Chen Ruiwen raised his hand, but Put it down, and comforted in a gentle voice: "Don't be sad."

Lin Wanru could hold it back, but when she heard this gentle voice, she burst into tears. Of course she was sad. She stood in the yard waiting for a long time but couldn't wait for someone to pick her up. Beside her was a girl with a bundle on her shoulders. , being looked at by people coming and going, curious.

Lin Wanru didn't want to think about that kind of embarrassment, that kind of confusion, but in the Chen family again, she couldn't make a face, couldn't get angry, and had to force a smile to comfort her aunt, until now, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Chen Ruiwen's heart ached, he saw the girl in front of him lying on her knees, weeping softly, her shoulders shrugged and twitched, it broke his heart from crying, but he didn't know how to comfort him, stretched out He patted her back lightly.

When the carriage stopped, Lin Wanru raised her head, Chen Ruiwen sighed, and wiped her tears carefully: "If you are unhappy, don't hold back, just tell me, if you don't want to live in Jia's house, I can take you Go back, if you are worried about Auntie, then it will be easy for us to take her too, why cry like this, look, your eyes are red."

Lin Wanru easily confided to Chen Ruiwen the thoughts in her heart that she had never shared with anyone: "When my father was around, even if we didn't live together, I still felt like I had a family. Since my father passed away, I have I feel that I have no support. After arriving at Jia’s house, my aunt will cry secretly at night, and my sister often sheds tears behind her back. I am also sad, but I don’t know what to do. Sister, but she is powerless, I really hate myself."

As he spoke, he began to cry again, Chen Ruiwen couldn't bear it any longer, he took the girl's small body into his arms, and patted her lightly to comfort her: "You have done a good job, don't be sad anymore."

The small and soft body was in his arms, full of fragrance, but the originally charming things made him feel very heartbroken because of the helpless crying of the person in his arms. For the first time, he hated himself for not being able to talk like a lotus flower, and not being able to call her He stopped crying and smiled, all he could do was hug her silently.

The carriage was parked in the shadows on the street outside Rongguo Duke's Mansion, but no one noticed it. Lin Wanru cried for a while, venting her unhappiness, and then felt embarrassed. Chen Ruiwen was wearing a dark green brocade robe with a lapel A large piece was wet on the top.

Seeing that she stopped crying, Chen Ruiwen breathed a sigh of relief, carefully wiped away her tears, even wiped her nose, and said, "Your eyes must be swollen, so what can I do if someone sees it, or I'll take you back home." .”

Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "Thank you cousin for sending me back, I've already reached the door, it's not good if I don't go in."

Chen Ruiwen didn't say anything else, got out of the car first, and then helped Lin Wanru down.

There were two big lanterns hanging in front of Jia's mansion. In the past, there were at least eight servants standing there, but now none of them were there. Chen Ruiwen frowned more and more, and ordered Ye Yu and Hengjiang to knock on the door.

Ye Yu and Heng Jiang had heard the whimpering and crying from the carriage long ago, and drove everyone away long ago. Now that Chen Ruiwen had come out, they listened to the order to knock on the door. It took a long time before someone answered the door Seeing that it was Chen Ruiwen, he hurriedly opened the door, and went in again to announce: "Master Chen is here."

After entering Jia's mansion, I found out that it was Jia Baoyu who was sick, and everyone gathered in Yihong Courtyard, so I forgot to pick up Lin Wanru. Aunt Shen remembered it, but she couldn't say anything. She was crying in front of Jia Baoyu's bed, so she couldn't go up and say this.

Knowing that Lin Wanru was back, Aunt Shen was the first to pick it up. Seeing Lin Wanru's red eyes, she was surprised and said, "What's wrong?"

Lin Wanru forced a smile and said, "I lost my eyes and rubbed my eyes. Auntie, tell me quickly, what's wrong with Brother Bao, why he suddenly fell ill."

As expected, Aunt Shen was distracted: "Yesterday was fine, but after noon today, the sisters got together to chat and laugh, and for some reason, they suddenly fell down, scaring everyone, please come to see the doctor, They also said it was nothing, but the person just didn’t wake up.”

Since Chen Ruiwen arrived, he couldn't go away, so he said to go and have a look. When he knew he was here, Jia Lian came out to greet him with tea. When I came back, I didn’t expect that Brother Jia was sick and delayed.”

Jia Lian is also a smart person, so why couldn't he hear his dissatisfaction, so he hurriedly yelled, and shouted at the young man standing outside: "Who took the errand to pick up Miss Lin? I forgot such an important thing, always You have to peel off your skin to grow your memory."

Immediately, a young man stood up and said, "Sister Zhou, who is beside my wife, picked me up. Second Master Bao was ill, so I was busy calling for a doctor, so I forgot."

Jia Lian scolded a few more words, and then said with a smile, "If Baoyu hadn't been ill, I wouldn't have been so careless."

Chen Ruiwen couldn't really lose his temper, he sneered and said nothing, but Jia Lian broke out in a cold sweat.
