Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Wanru thought of Wan Lin's younger brother, Wan Ting. Wan Ting was a concubine, and his biological mother was originally a courtesan of a brothel, who was taken into the mansion by Wan Yongfu at a glance. It's a pity that Fu Bo died of dystocia when giving birth to Wan Ting. But before she died, she took Wan Yongfu to sing and beat, saying that she was not blessed and could not serve Wan Yongfu for a lifetime, which moved Wan Yongfu to tears.

After Wan Ting's biological mother passed away, Wan Yongfu gave him to Mrs. Wan to raise him, raising and loving him like a legitimate son. Wan Ting was the youngest son in the family, and his biological mother left a deep impression on Wan Yongfu, so Wan Ting was very favored. , since he was a child, he ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and did not do his job properly, but Wan Yongfu still regarded him as a treasure.

In the first month when I married into Wan's family, I saw Wan Ting and the girl in the rockery cave in the garden. greet.

At that time, I only felt disgusted, so I didn't like Wan Ting very much. However, when she was dismissed, Wan Ting didn't join forces with the Wan family. It's just that I was angry and desperate at the time, and threw those banknotes on Wan Ting's face...

Thinking back carefully now, Wan Ting didn't commit any big crimes other than his indiscreet life. He spends a lot of money, but he is also very moral. He values ​​the loyalty of his friends very much, just like this Xue Pan. , like a fool, but also so cute.

Lin Wanru knew that Lin Daiyu had always prided herself on being noble, and she sometimes scolded Xue Pan for someone like Jia Baoyu, so she probably looked down on Xue Pan, so she just smiled and said, "Sister Bao and her brother are indeed very different. , not like brothers and sisters."

Lin Daiyu suddenly laughed: "I have a sister like you who doesn't understand poetry and books, and people say that she doesn't look like a real sister."

Lin Wanru's face was broken: "Sister, is she hurting me or is she praising herself? I'm not illiterate. I'm really not interested in writing poems or anything like that."

Her interest is doing business to make money... Lin Wanru silently added in her heart, but dared not say it out.

When the carriage drove into Shi's house, Shi Aizhu came out to greet her in person, and brought Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu Lin Wanru in with a smile. After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Lin Wanru felt that Xue Baochai had changed a lot, not because of changes in appearance or fat, thin, tall or short. , but the inner temperament.

Although Xue Baochai used to be kind on the surface, she was cold and cold in her bones, she was alone and had no dust in her eyes, but now she has become a little tactful, she has both sides, and she doesn't speak like she used to put on a serious and earnest lesson to you, very friendly .

But if you think about it carefully, Xue Baochai was born in an imperial merchant, and her family background is considered low among the girls who attend the school, and she will inevitably be excluded by others, not to mention that she was asked by Princess Chaohuang by name, and there must be someone in her words and deeds. Look, if someone makes a mistake, someone will find out. I'm afraid this life will be difficult, Xue Baochai has no choice but to make himself more tactful.

Lin Wanru held Xue Baochai's hand and talked affectionately, which made Lin Daiyu a little bit apprehensive, but Shuirou excitedly chattered as she pulled her to talk: "I saw your poetry collection, did you really write it? That's great, compared to yours, mine can't be called poetry."

Lin Daiyu was a little complacent, but she still said modestly: "It's just a boring work with nothing to do. It's hard to be elegant. I read my sister's writing. It's lyrical and freehand, expressing my ambition with poetry. This level of state is incomparable to me. .”

Shuirou blushed with excitement: "I just said that we are bosom friends, and only you can understand my poems. Aizhu and Xuan'er also said that I was sad for the spring and autumn, and forced to express my sorrow for the new words."

Lin Daiyu said: "My sister's poems have the character of Li Bai. Although the words are a little sad, there is a kind of generosity in which the sky is high and the birds are flying. To be honest, I am really ashamed of myself."

Shui Rou is also smiling and modest: "Where is it, my sister writes poems and words with a dictionary so she can use it at her fingertips. It can be seen that she is very proficient in poetry and books, and I am ashamed of myself."

Shi Aizhu has been busy arranging tea and snacks, and came over to hold tea for the two of them in person, and said with a smile: "You two great poets, you are thirsty, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Lin Daiyu thanked her, and took it over, but Shuirou couldn't stop her enthusiasm, and said with a smile: "I think it's a very elegant thing to appreciate plum blossoms in the snow, and plum blossoms are always full of character, so I thought about using plum blossoms as a gift." Speaking of the society, this is my humble opinion, what do you think, sister?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Although I have never joined any poetry club, I know that this poetry club has to be named first."

Shuirou also frowned and said: "I've been thinking about it for a few days, originally I started the club with plum blossoms, but if it's called Hongmei club or plum blossom club, it's too vulgar, so I've been hesitant."

Lin Daiyu pondered for a moment, and said: "Wang Anshi has a poem, there are several plums in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone, and he knows it's not snow, because there is a dark fragrance, how about calling it Lengxiangshe?"

Liu Xuan had been listening attentively to the conversation between the two just now, now she said: "Although Leng Xiang is elegant, but after all, it's a bit deserted. We started the club just for fun, what's the fun if it's desolate?"

Shi Aizhu also nodded again and again, and said, "Liu Zongyuan also has a poem, which compares plum blossoms to Hanying, should it be called Hanyingshe?"

Xue Baochai, who had been talking to Lin Wanru, suddenly said: "Feng Zizhen of the Yuan Dynasty once wrote a poem about plum blossoms in the West Lake, letting his peaches and plums compete for appreciation, and not caring about the prosperity. , shouldn’t it be called Suxinshe?”

Shui Rou was a little hesitant and hesitant, seeing Lin Wanru was smiling and not speaking, she said with a smile, "Tell me, what should you name it?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "I think you're putting the cart before the horse. Are you starting a poetry club, or are you naming it?"

Everyone laughed, and Lin Wanru said again: "I don't understand what you're talking about. I've only read a poem about plum blossoms. It's beautiful and lonely, and it's unbearable to write about Fuyunzhi. Everything has never happened." Don’t think it’s too tall, don’t blame the plum blossoms hanging on the ground, if you want me to say it, it’s just called Fuyun Club.”

Everyone was stunned, Liu Xuan took the lead in clapping her hands and said with a smile: "The poem is good and the name is good, let's call it Fuyun Society."

Shi Aizhu nodded again and again, Lin Daiyu and Shuirou both showed expressions of appreciation, Lin Wanru was secretly proud, ever since she knew she was going to start the Plum Blossom Poetry Club, she borrowed a collection of poems from her cousin, who asked Lingxi to specially transcribe the poems about plum blossoms Copy it down and let her see it, it really works, look, it bluffed this group of people.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "After three days of farewell, you should look at each other with admiration. It seems that you have benefited a lot."

Lin Wanru pretended to be modest, cupped her hands and said, "Where is it?"

Provoking Liu Xuan to throw her purse, everyone burst into laughter.

After agreeing on the name of the poetry club, the girls were chatting and laughing, very happy, Lin Wanru asked Shi Aizhu: "Why didn't Miss Liang and Miss Fan come over?"

Shi Aizhu said: "They have all gone home, and they will come back after the year. I am also relaxed and relaxed, saving myself from being tense all day long."

As he spoke, he asked the maid to bring up the charcoal fire and iron brazing, and brought up all kinds of meat that had been prepared, and asked people to choose at will. Lin Daiyu has a weak spleen and stomach, and is not very interested in these meats, but she just tasted them for a while. .

Shuirou is also a lady in the boudoir, she pays attention to her manners, and she just eats two mouthfuls, only Shi Aizhu and Lin Wanru are in high spirits, eating meat and drinking at the same time, you come and go happily, Xue Baochai looked at it with a smile: "Although it is fruit wine , but if you drink too much, you will get drunk, how can you write poetry when you are drunk."

Lin Wanru happily clinked glasses with Shi Aizhu, still biting a piece of venison in her mouth, said vaguely: "I don't know how to write poetry, and it doesn't matter if I'm drunk."

Shi Aizhu also nodded again and again: "I'm not very proficient, Wanru and I should be in prison. You group of talented women are going to compete, and Wanru and I just wait and see."

Liu Xuan looked at Shi Aizhu who was eating and drinking with disgust, and said: "It's just two pieces of venison, like eating delicacies from mountains and seas." Then she went to pull Lin Daiyu and Shuirou: "Let's go to the side hall to compose poems, don't give it to me. These two mortals are full of wine and flesh."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and told Lin Wanru not to drink too much, and with Shuirou, Liu Xuan entered the side hall, and Xue Baochai naturally followed. There was a girl in the side hall who had already prepared paper and ink, and the four of them agreed to write seven-character quatrains and The rhyme is limited to a stick of incense, and each thinks about it.

In the main hall, Lin Wanru and Shi Aizhu drank more and more happily. After drinking too much, Shi Aizhu complained to Lin Wanru with her tongue out. Buying her, watching her all day long, how difficult the homework assigned by her husband is, and how high her parents' demands are on her.

Lin Wanru was lying on the table drunkenly, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were a little dull, listening to Shi Aizhu's complaints, all she could think about was the love and indulgence of her parents in her previous life, and the more she thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.

Father Lin Songcheng is a well-known handsome man in Yangzhou City. He is decisive and uncompromising when doing business, but at home he is a gentle and gentle husband, a good father, never loses his temper, and his mother is also gentle and submissive.

Her father and mother wanted to teach her to be a noble lady, so that she could marry into a noble family and live happily ever after, but she hated the hypocrisy of the rich women, who were all pretentious and vulgar when it came to money. Don't they eat, drink and play without money?

Lin Wanru felt hypocrisy. She just liked money and made money. Her father loved her so he stopped forcing her to learn manners and manners. Instead, he taught her how to read books and do business. She always regarded herself as a businesswoman. changed?

It seemed that after meeting Wan Lin, he was as beautiful as a orchid and a jade tree. Standing in front of her, she suddenly felt that she was vulgar and not worthy of such a beautiful man, and then began to act coy, hiding her true character, pretending to be a lady , hoping to win Wan Lin's appreciation.

It's a pity that no matter how good I am, it's useless. Wan Lin only has money and power in his eyes...

Lin Wanru lay on the table holding the wine glass and began to cry. At first, she sobbed softly, but then she burst into tears. She felt wronged, very wronged. Her crying not only frightened Shi Aizhu, It also startled the girls in the side hall and rushed out one after another.

Shi Aizhu sat on the side like petrified, at a loss, and most of the wine was sober, Lin Wanru cried while crying: "Father, mother, I'm sorry for you, I'm so useless, I'm sorry for your teaching, I'm not a A good daughter, not a good daughter..."

In the tragedy of the previous life, the people she feels most sorry for are her parents. She is everything to her parents, but she makes them difficult for Wan Lin time and time again. It's all her fault to bow down to the arrogant and savage Mrs. Wan time and time again...
