Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Along the way, I met a lot of carriages, all going to Linjiang Tower, Lin Wanru became more and more worried, and asked Chen Ruiwen, "Why didn't Ruixue and the others come?"

Chen Ruiwen said with a smile: "Firstly, they were too timid to join in the fun, and secondly, they wanted to follow the second and third aunts back to their parents' house, so although they accepted the post, they didn't come."

Lin Wanru sighed again and again: "I don't want to go either."

Chen Ruiwen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, with me, can I still make you suffer?"

When there were two streets away from Linjiang Tower, the street was under martial law. The soldiers guarded the street neatly and solemnly, and only the carriages with posts were allowed to pass. After passing this checkpoint, the street became much cleaner. Only the carriage going to the banquet ran forward on horseshoes.

When there was still a distance to Linjiang Tower, the carriage couldn't go forward. There was a curtain around the front, covering the surroundings of Wangjiang Tower tightly. Chen Ruiwen escorted Lin Wan out of the carriage and walked.

Because Linjiang Tower is close to the moat, the original wall between Linjiang Tower and the moat has been demolished, and many sheds have been built by the river, surrounded by curtains, and Linjiang Tower has been cleaned inside and out. At that time, the original cooks and waiters were all moved out, and replaced by the royal chef in the palace, and the maids and servants were on duty.

From a distance, a servant came to welcome him and saluted Chen Ruiwen: "Young Master Chen, the Second Prince ordered his servants to pick you up, and said that he would invite you to come over when you arrive."

Chen Ruiwen agreed and asked, "Who is here?"

The servant said respectfully: "Except for the prince, several princes have arrived, the princess and the two princesses have also arrived, and they are talking together."

Chen Ruiwen took Lin Wanru's hand and went to Linjiang Tower.

The tables, chairs and benches on the ground floor of the Linjiang Tower were removed, and two row of chairs were placed on the left and right. At this time, they were all full of people, and the whole room was full of laughter, seeing Chen Ruiwen and Lin Wanru coming over.Shi Aizhu ran over first, and took Lin Wanru's arm affectionately: "Why did Wanru come so late?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "Where am I late, it's obvious that you came early."

Shi Aizhu giggled, pulled Lin Wanru and said, "Come Wanru, let me introduce you, there are many people you have never met before."

But Lin Wanru's hand was held by Chen Ruiwen, Shi Aizhu looked over suspiciously, met Chen Ruiwen's expressionless face, stopped her movements again, and looked at Chen Ruiwen.He looked at Lin Wanru again, and at the hands they were holding.

Everyone watched, the second prince was the first to laugh.Lin Wanru blushed and pulled out her hand. Shi Aizhu became happy and pulled Lin Wanru to introduce them one by one.

Some people got up and gave up their seats, and Chen Ruiwen sat next to the second prince.The second prince smiled and said: "When did you get so impatient? It's because my sister is getting married. I can't wait to marry my sister."

Chen Ruiwen said: "She is my daughter-in-law, do I need your permission if I hold hands?"

The second prince laughed loudly and said: "I see that you are the most disciplined, but in fact you are the most indifferent to the rules and etiquette. It's just that there are many people here today, so you don't care if you carefully spread the rumors. You don't care about the girl's family." alright."

When Chen Ruiwen heard this, he stopped talking and watched Lin Wanru being introduced one by one by Shi Aizhu.

All those present here today are descendants of dragons and phoenixes, except for five princes and one princess.Two princesses, six attendants.There are also Shuirou, Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu, Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, Chen Yejun, etc., all from aristocratic families, and the teenagers gathered together to chat about flying eagles and horses.

The girls gathered together to laugh and laugh, Liu Xuan pressed Lin Wanru to sit down, and insisted on telling her Shi Aizhu's foolish appearance two days ago, Shi Aizhu chased her and beat her, Xue Baochai asked Lin Wanru with a smile: "How is Daiyu?" ?”

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "Of course it's great. Why, you didn't go to Jia's house for a wedding?"

Xue Baochai said: "Where am I free, my mother must have gone, but I haven't seen her recently."

A thin girl sitting next to Xue Baochai said: "Sister Xue is naturally very busy, the princess cannot do everything without Sister Xue."

Xue Baochai smiled slightly, and said to Lin Wanru, "This is Miss Cheng, and she is also accompanying the princess."

Lin Wanru nodded in greeting, but Miss Cheng said generously, "Call me Zhenzhen, Miss Lin, I've heard of you. Your grandfather was Mr. Shen Ai Xiao Shen, right?"

Lin Wanru smiled and exchanged a few words, and when Cheng Zhenzhen was pulled over by another girl to speak, she asked Xue Baochai in a low voice: "Is she not dealing with you?" Xue Baochai didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

I also know that they are all accompanied by the princess, relying on the princess's favor to seek a future, Xue Baochai is extremely relied on, and the other will naturally be unconvinced.

Xue Baochai quietly pointed to the person sitting next to the third prince: "That is the fourth prince."

Lin Wanru followed his gaze. The fourth prince, Hongzhuo, is not as noble as the prince, nor as refined as the second prince, nor as likable as the sixth prince. Although he has a handsome face, he has no expression. He looks very sinister. Several princes next to him were chatting and laughing, but none of them talked to the fourth prince.

Lin Wanru had vaguely heard in his previous life that when the fourth prince was born, the emperor ordered the Qin Tianjian to test his horoscope, but the Qin Tianjian calculated that the fourth prince was born with evil spirits, restraining his father and mother, whether it was the emperor or the fourth prince's biological mother. Concubine Wu Gui hated the Fourth Prince very much because of this.

The fourth prince was moved out to be taken care of by his wet nurse when he was under the full moon. Concubine Wu only thought of asking a few questions for ten days and a half months, and usually she never saw her.

But who would have thought that the one who aspired to the throne in the previous life was the always mediocre fourth prince.

The Fourth Prince probably sensed Lin Wanru's gaze, and looked sideways, Lin Wanru quickly averted his eyes, pretending to be talking to Xue Baochai.

At the same time, the second prince and Chen Ruiwen whispered: "See that young man next to Fifth Brother? He is this year's No. [-] scholar. Father likes it very much. He often calls him over to talk. Speaking of which, he is still related to you. "

Chen Ruiwen was slightly surprised, and said, "Isn't his surname Jiang? We don't have any relatives surnamed Jiang."

The second prince smiled and said: "You don't know, the father took a fancy to him and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, so he asked someone to investigate him thoroughly. If it wasn't for the fact that his family was too weak, he might really have become my brother-in-law. His name is Jiang Dao, a native of Suzhou. His grandfather Jiang Ting was a young champion more than 30 years ago. He was a sensation, but unfortunately he did not become an official. He returned to Suzhou and became a teacher. Jiang Ting had a younger sister named Jiang Xiaolou who married in Suzhou. The Shen family is a concubine and gave birth to Shen Wuniang, your future mother-in-law, do you think this is a relative?"

Chen Ruiwen was really startled, and said: "Why have I never heard of it from my aunt, it seems that Wanru doesn't seem to know about it."

The second prince didn't know about it at first, and it was all because the emperor ordered someone to investigate secretly. Only then did he know the grievances and resentments between the Shen family and the Jiang family, so he sighed: "Speaking of which, the Jiang family is also unlucky. His cousin Jiang Wenming, that is Jiang Dao's father, was forced by the second wife of the Shen family to marry into the Lin family. I went to Jiangxi to study with a teacher, and cultivated my son with all my heart, now that Jiang Dao has won the first prize, and he has taken refuge with his fifth younger brother, I am afraid it is for revenge."

Chen Ruiwen raised his eyebrows: "Who is Jiang Wenming's master?"

The second prince didn't speak, and it took a long time before he said: "It's Master Deng and Uncle Wen's master Wei Junzi." Chen Ruiwen was also stunned.

Wei Junzi is a legend. He came from a famous family. He studied hard since he was a child, but his mother died when he was ten years old. When he was 15 years old, his father married his stepmother. The first thing is to be kicked out of the house.

Junzi Wei did not resist either. He traveled all over the country with his book boy, and met many friends from different religions. The academy only accepts ten students each year.

In the first year, the ten students he taught each occupied the top ten of Chunwei. Since then, his Junzi Academy has become famous all over the world, and everyone flocks to it, but he still only accepts ten students every year. Wei Junzi pays attention to the inheritance of the school. All the students are taught by him as if they were his own disciples.

The rest, whether they are princes, nobles or wealthy squires, if they look down on them, you may not be able to give advice if you move to Jinshan.

Don't talk about others, just talk about the second prince. In order to worship Master Deng, he spent a lot of effort. At the end of every year, Master Deng would go to Jiangxi to visit his mentor. The second prince wanted to go with him several times, but Master Deng didn't agree. It can be seen Wei Junzi's character is withdrawn.

Jiang Wenming actually worshiped under his sect, and the second prince would call him uncle according to his seniority when he saw him, so wouldn't he call Jiang Dao his junior?

Chen Ruiwen asked, "Has Jiang Wenming come to the capital?"

The second prince shook his head: "He is a small county magistrate in Jiangxi, how dare he leave his post without permission, but since Jiang Dao took refuge with his fifth younger brother, he often inquired about the Shen family's news, Ruiwen, you have to be careful, after all, revenge for killing your father We can't live together."

Chen Ruiwen didn't change his face: "That's the grudge between him and the Shen family, it has nothing to do with me."

The second prince said: "It's easy for you to say. He is the son of the Jiang family. Your mother-in-law can't be treated like a real son? I'm afraid that you, the son-in-law, will have to rely on it. Besides, you, the grandson of the Shen family, are going to marry him." The granddaughter of the Jiang family is probably even more hindered. Ever since her father knew about it, she hesitated whether to tell Mr. Shen. After all, it was a grievance between the two families. My father asked me to tell you about the disaster caused by the second room, at least there is a precaution, and he also said that he really likes Jiang Dao, no matter how much trouble he has, he can't ruin the talent he got so easily."

Chen Ruiwen was silent and did not speak, but looked at Jiang Dao with a slightly heavier gaze.

At this moment, the crown prince came over with Shen Aixiao, and all the people present here were juniors, they all got up to greet each other, surrounded them enthusiastically to greet each other, Shen Man followed behind Shen Aixiao.
