Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Aunt Shen sighed: "Although the second room has many descendants, it is more competitive than the first room. Your uncle's grandfather ran the family well, both sons and grandsons were respectful and obedient, but your grandfather was soft-hearted and restrained his children and grandchildren." It's not as good as your uncle's grandfather, as you have seen today, Shen Xun, Shen Cheng, and Shen Jie are all good, but Shen Quan and Shen Yu are not steady, and the Shen family will still have to rely on the big house to support them."

Seeing Aunt Shen's sad words, Lin Wanru comforted her, "Don't worry about this, Auntie, it has nothing to do with us, as long as the sister's matter is resolved smoothly, we will have nothing to do with the Shen family."

Aunt Shen sighed secretly, she was a married daughter, so naturally she had nothing to do with it, but if Wanru married Ruiwen, then the Shen family was her uncle's family, and everyone said that she was an uncle, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons, just like becoming the Chen family. For my daughter-in-law, it is essential to deal with the Shen family, I am afraid that this involvement will never be cut off.

The Shen family arranged for Shen Ze to live in Chen Yongming's outer study, and several nephews lived in the side room next to it. Not only was it clean and tidy, but the most important thing was that it was quiet. Here, one could study and prepare for exams with peace of mind. Shen Xun and Shen Cheng first served their father to rest. After that, they went back to settle down separately.

Shen Quan and Shen Yu hid in the room and started whispering. Shen Quan is the eldest grandson of Shen Aixiao. Naturally, he heard his mother talk about this fifth aunt. At the beginning, the fifth aunt was appointed as a concubine, and it was the grandmother who facilitated it. My aunt hated my grandmother very much.

Now that the fifth aunt actually lives in the Chen family, she seems to be valued by the eldest aunt, I don't know if she will have a heart of revenge.

Shen Quan was in a complicated state of mind, because Shen Yu was a concubine, and when he went out, he listened to Shen Quan all the time, so he was also silent at this time, Shen Quan said: "Now that I know the whereabouts of my fifth aunt, I still write a letter to my grandfather How about letting them know, Grandma?"

Shen Yu thought about it, and said: "I heard from third brother, it's just that the new year is busy, even if you write a letter, it will be New Year's Eve by the time it is delivered to your grandfather. Instead of making it clear in the letter, it's better to wait for third brother to return home from high school , and then report to grandfather in detail."

Shen Quan nodded: "What you're saying is that with grandfather's temperament, he will definitely come over immediately when he finds out. It's also in the Chen family, and if there is a disturbance, it will be laughed at."

Just as he was talking, Shen Xun came and knocked on the door: "Third brother, sixth brother, have you cleaned up?"

Shen Yu hurriedly went to open the door, Shen Xun had already changed his clothes, holding a small box in his hand, and said, "If you pack it up, I think we'll go to visit Fifth Aunt alone, and Wan Ru's cousin, it's the first time I've seen you, just now It would be rude to start."

Shen Yu was a little embarrassed: "We never prepared gifts." Shen Xun said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what it is, it's always thoughtful."

Shen Quan said: "Brother, please wait for a while, my sixth brother and I will also go there." He also changed his clothes, and took out two pairs of purple pens with jade tubes from home from his bag, while Shen Yu took an inkstone , Shen Xun said with a smile: "The second brother sent the paper, and the seventh brother sent the ink. The four of you have all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

Shen Yu smiled and said, "What did elder brother send you?"

Shen Xun said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I'm not much better. It's just a seal stone. When I have time to go shopping in the street, I'd like to buy some things for the girl's household."

The five people asked the girls to lead the way, and went to Ningxiangzhai. The little girl at the door was stunned for a moment when she saw it, and ran to send a message: "Go and tell Auntie, the young master of the Shen family is here."

The letter spread inside, Aunt Shen had just rested, Lin Wanru thought about it, so she had to get up by herself and go out to entertain guests.Seeing Lin Wanru coming out, Shen Xun smiled and said, "Why don't you see Fifth Aunt? Let's pay my respects to Fifth Aunt."

Lin Wanru said: "It's unfortunate that the cousins ​​came. My aunt just took a rest. When she saw her family for the first time, my aunt cried for a while. She was a little tired. Don't blame my cousin."

Shen Xun said with a smile: "The elders rest, we as juniors don't dare to disturb us, it's the same when we see our cousin, meeting for the first time, this is a little bit of my brother's kindness, my cousin must not refuse."

Speaking of bringing over the things brought by several people, Lin Wanru ordered Lu Ni to pick them up, and then thanked: "Let the cousins ​​spend the money." He also asked the little girl to serve tea.

Shen Xun looked at Lin Wanru with a full smile: "I heard from my eldest aunt that my cousin is 14 years old this year, but she is about the same age as my cousin Ying, who was born to my second aunt, and my cousin Ning'er, who was born to my third aunt."

Lin Wanru smiled and remained silent. Shen Cheng was only sixteen, the youngest in the family, and had a very lively personality. He said with a smile, "Although you say that, cousin Wanru looks better than cousin Ying and Ning'er Mier."

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "My cousin praised me, how dare I take it for granted."

Although Shen Xun wanted to make friends, it was the first time we met, and he didn't know what to say, so he asked Lin Wanru if he had ever studied, and Lin Wanru answered them one by one, feeling that he had nothing to say, and felt bored, and said with a smile : "When it comes to reading, I'm not as good as cousin Ruiwen. There are many rare and ancient books in his study that I haven't seen before. Cousins ​​may as well go and read them when they have time. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."

Shen Xun smiled. He got close to this cousin by his father's order. Maybe he could persuade the cousin to persuade the fifth aunt, but he was not close. Hearing this, he stood up and said with a smile: " If that’s the case, I’m going to check it out.”

As he was about to leave, Shen Quan deliberately stayed at the end, looked at Lin Wanru, and didn't say anything.

Lin Wanru was relieved to see a few people walking away. She could tell that Shen Xun deliberately made friends with her. If she insisted on refusing to recognize Shen's family, as a daughter, she would definitely not force it.

In the evening, Chen Yi hosted a banquet to welcome the father and son of the Shen family. The three brothers of the Chen family and Chen Ruiwen's juniors were all present at the banquet, and the Shen family in the inner courtyard also organized a banquet.

After all, Shen Ze knew how to measure, he didn't drink too much after all the excitement, and after the banquet was over, he discussed with Aunt Shen and Mrs. Shen about going to Jia's house.

When Aunt Shen mentioned this matter, she resumed her original careful planning, and told Shen Ze carefully about the situation of the Jia family: "...I am a woman after all, and there are some things that I can't argue with the elders of the Jia family. Please, brother." To come forward, one is to support Daiyu, and the other is to have an expert help to watch when the family property is calculated, so as not to be deceived by Jia's shoddy, as long as this matter is resolved smoothly, the Lin family will be saved. Daiyu's family property, also known as Daiyu, got married smoothly, and I can't thank my elder brother enough."

Shen Ze waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, Fifth Sister, the Lin family is our Shen family's family friends, even if Fifth Sister doesn't say anything, we won't stand by when we find out. To be honest, it's not easy to get the best of both worlds in this matter. Since the people who dared to swallow the family property, how could they spit it out? Even if we try to make them have to hand it over, Daiyu will definitely be irritated if she marries. You can’t get all your property back.”

Aunt Shen knew that what Shen Ze said was reasonable, and she was a little embarrassed. She was so fussy about the Lin family's property, firstly because many of those things were treasures passed down by the Lin family for several generations, and they could never be ignorant of the Jia family. It was because of Daiyu that these things were given to Jia's family, but it had to be heard, and the Jia family had to remember Daiyu's love.

Shen smiled beside her and said: "If you want me to say, Daiyu's character, appearance, talent and learning are not one in a million. Do you have to say it to Jia's family? Let's take the family property back and tell Daiyu another one." If you don't have a relationship, you'll have it."

Aunt Shen refused without hesitation: "Daiyu's marriage was ordered by the master before his death. Daiyu's only relatives are the Jia family. If she doesn't marry into the Jia family, no one will marry her when the old lady is gone." Daiyu is in charge, so it is better to get married with Jia's family, so that Daiyu can rely on her for the rest of her life. It’s also a good thing for marriage.”

Shen Ze sighed secretly, and said: "Tomorrow, let's find out what the Jia family has said." Aunt Shen agreed.

After Aunt Shen left, Shen Ze and Shen Shi had nothing to shy away from, and talked about family affairs: "Now the second aunt is becoming more and more unscrupulous, and Sister Man is also 16 years old. The second aunt repeatedly asked her mother, Ask her to be a matchmaker and tell Ruiwen how easy it is for my mother to answer, and perfunctory, but the second aunt is not willing to give up, and finds the second uncle to come forward. Now that the second uncle is getting older, he is more and more fond of messing around. He bought a fifteen six The little girl who was [-] years old was carried into the room, and the father was so angry that he said that she was ready to be his granddaughter, and he was ashamed to do it, but the second uncle said, I didn't ask her to have a son for me, but it was just a show Forget it, she waited on me while I was reading, and I felt at ease. Unexpectedly, within two days, the second aunt found a wrong place for that girl, saying that she seduced the young master, beat her half to death, and sold her out. Second uncle He didn't dare to say a word, and was called over by his father and scolded him, saying that he wasted a life for nothing."

Shen sneered: "Second Aunt is used to this, not to mention that Ruiwen is already engaged to Wanru, even if she doesn't, I can't ask her to marry Sister Man. I met Second Aunt's niece when she was not married. Temper, carved out of the same mold as Second Aunt, what kind of good thing can a daughter raised be?"

Shen Ze sighed: "Sometimes the second aunt really indulges the child too much, but after all it is the second bedroom's business. Sometimes my father wants to take care of it but he can't come forward, so he can only call the second uncle to scold him, but the second uncle is a left-handed person. It comes out of the right ear, once you say it, forget it, it’s useless at all.”

Thinking of the past, Shen's eyes filled with tears, and said: "Actually, we all knew what happened back then. Wu Niang just took the blame for me and ruined her for the rest of her life. No matter what happens now, I can't call her Disappointed, Wanru promised Ruiwen, I naturally treat her well, I can only ask my brother to help me with Daiyu's marriage."
