Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Chen Ruiwen's face turned pale, as if he listened to his aunt the most, and the aunt naturally preferred her cousin, and the result was self-evident.

Maybe, maybe Jiang Wenming wants to get closer, so that Wanru can marry Jiang Dao. Jiang Dao and Wanru are about the same age and have a bright future...

Chen Ruiwen stood up abruptly, no, he must tell his grandfather quickly, before Jiang Wenming enters Beijing to settle his marriage with Wan Ru, he doesn't want to see his beloved girl marry someone else.

Chen Ruiwen saw Lin Wanru at a glance in the crowd. She was lying on Shi Aizhu's body, lying on Shi Aizhu's body, looking carefree. Chen Ruiwen's heart ached even more. Walked over to say hello: "Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Dao looked at Chen Ruiwen in surprise, and smiled after a long time: "So it's Mr. Chen."

Chen Ruiwen said: "I want to ask Mr. Jiang about something. I wonder if Mr. Jiang can move?"

Jiang Dao raised his eyebrows, just like Lin Wanru when he was in doubt, this made Chen Ruiwen more irritable, he made a gesture of asking, and his face was a little gloomy.

When the second prince noticed this scene, Chen Ruiwen and Jiang Dao had already entered the private room to talk, and the second prince couldn't allow outsiders to enter, so he ordered people to guard the door, not allowing anyone to approach. Make a fuss.

Jiang Dao sat beside the table, playing with the teacups with pastel painted flowers and birds on the table, and said with a smile, "I don't know what Mr. Chen wants to ask me?"

Chen Ruiwen's voice suddenly turned cold: "You understand it in your heart."

Jiang Dao put the tea bowl on the table, let out a crisp sound, and smiled more kindly: "I understand a lot of things. If Mr. Chen doesn't explain clearly, how can I know which one it is."

Chen Ruiwen said: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't care what grievances you have with the Shen family, you are not allowed to involve Wanru in it. Don't say you don't know who Wanru is, I don't care how you and the Shen family are fighting, if you hurt Wanru, I will first I can't forgive you."

Jiang Dao's smile also cooled down: "Before I came to the capital, my father told me that as long as I passed the Jinshi exam, he would propose marriage to my aunt and ask to marry my aunt's only daughter. I only found out when I came to the capital to inquire. I've already made a promise to someone. Don't worry, I'm not someone who steals love, since my cousin is already engaged, I naturally won't come to propose marriage again. "

Chen Ruiwen looked at him suspiciously, and before he breathed a sigh of relief, he listened to Jiang Dao: "But this is only my own idea, but my father never forgot, and insisted on getting closer to my cousin. It's not good for me to be a son of man." For those who object, Mr. Chen also knows that the elderly are the most nostalgic and stubborn. When the time comes, my father and aunt will sit down and talk about the old days. Looking back on the past, it is not up to me to decide who will win."

Chen Ruiwen looked at Jiang Dao with a livid face.Jiang Dao stood up. He was shorter and thinner than Chen Ruiwen, but his whole body was awe-inspiring. He looked at Chen Ruiwen and said word by word: "You said it too. This is the grievance between the Jiang family and the Shen family." , you Chen family. It's best not to interfere."

The two faced each other, the atmosphere was icy cold, but it was lively outside, the dragon boat race started, the third prince and the fifth prince opened the market to place bets on which dragon boat would win, and everyone placed bets one after another.

The dragon boat teams selected this year are better than last year's because they have to perform in front of the phoenix and dragon grandchildren. Hearing that the nobles on the shore have placed their bets, they are even more determined to perform well.

The fifth prince yelled for a while, and then he noticed that Jiang Dao was not there, and immediately asked the inner room beside him, "Where is Mr. Jiang?"

The little servant hurriedly trotted to find someone, Chen Ruiwen and Jiang Dao came out of Linjiang Tower one after another, Chen Ruiwen was still expressionless, and the breath emanating from his body became colder and colder.

Jiang Dao, on the other hand, looked friendly with a smile on his face. The servant did not dare to provoke Chen Ruiwen, so he ran up to Jiang Dao in a hurry: "Young Master Jiang, the Fifth Prince is looking for you." Jiang Dao nodded with a smile, and walked over with the servant.

Chen Ruiwen felt as if his heart was overwhelmed, he was afraid that people would see it, and he could not show his face, so he stood aside to calm down, and then went to find Lin Wanru, who knew that all the girls present, led by Princess Chaohuang, were sitting in the shed and joking, Chen Ruiwen It's not good to go in rashly, so I have to sit aside and sulk.

Lin Wanru didn't like much excitement, so she came out after sitting for a while, saw Chen Ruiwen's expression was worried, hurried over and said, "Cousin, what happened?"

Seeing that it was her, Chen Ruiwen's expression softened, and he said, "It's okay, how are you, is there anyone showing you face?"

Lin Wanru laughed: "Who dares to look at me, my cousin is just worrying."

Chen Ruiwen looked at her, and his heart that had just calmed down was a little churned again. He looked at the noisy dragon boat races everywhere, and dragged Lin Wanru into the Linjiang Tower.

Everyone was outside, and there was no one in Linjiang Tower except for a few court ladies. Lin Wanru looked at Chen Ruiwen in surprise, and let him drag her into the private room to talk: "Cousin, what's the matter?"

Chen Ruiwen looked at the girl in front of him, feeling bittersweet in his heart, he didn't know what to say for a moment, he took out the token exchanged with Lin Wanru when he was engaged to Lin Wanru from his purse, and said, "Do you know what this is? "

Lin Wanru was extremely puzzled, but she still said, "This is our engagement token, a mandarin duck and jade pendant."

Chen Ruiwen's expression softened a little, and he said, "Where's yours?"

Lin Wanru obediently took out the jade pendant hanging around her neck.

Chen Ruiwen put the two pieces of jade pendants together, the white jade was shining with the warmth of a young girl, and Chen Ruiwen looked into Lin Wanru's suspicious eyes, and said solemnly: "Wanru, you are my wife, and no one can change this." The fact that no matter what happens, you will never leave me, can you do it?"

Lin Wanru opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Ruiwen. She didn't know why Chen Ruiwen mentioned this matter, but she deeply felt Chen Ruiwen's uneasiness. Thinking of her own worries in her previous life, she couldn't bear to let Chen Ruiwen go through such pain , so he quickly said: "I promise you, no matter what happens, I will never leave you, and I will always stand by your side."

Chen Ruiwen's eyes were instantly filled with ecstasy. He didn't dare to be too indulgent. He just restrained himself and reached out to stroke Lin Wanruyu's face: "Just remember this sentence. After the Dragon Boat Festival, I will let my mother handle it." How about our marriage, I can't wait to marry you in."

Lin Wanru's face was reddish, she had never heard such explicit love words in her two lifetimes combined, but Chen Ruiwen's enthusiasm made her a little sweet, she felt very at ease, there was a place in her heart where she could rest assured, and she no longer had to worry about being indifferent, You don't have to worry about being homeless anymore, and the person opposite seems to be more worried than yourself.

The two stared blankly at each other, seeing joy and the promise they wanted in each other's eyes.

Chen Ruiwen held Lin Wanru's hand tightly and did not let go. The two sat in front of the table, the laughter outside set off the tranquility more and more. Lin Wanru lowered his head and muttered something, but Chen Ruiwen didn't hear clearly, and moved closer: "What did you say?"

Lin Wanru looked at him: "Hand hurts."

Chen Ruiwen looked at Yingying Ruyu who was tightly held in his hand, smiled, let go, but did not let go, Lin Wanru's tone was filled with anger: "Everyone is outside, Aizhu can't see me and I have to go everywhere If you find it, it’s not good to be seen.”

Chen Ruiwen looked at her deeply, kissed her little hand, and said: "It's so noisy outside, and the sun will be hot after a while, what are you doing to join in the fun, why don't you stay here obediently, if you are afraid of people gossiping, then I'm going out."

Chen Ruiwen asked someone to serve hot tea and some snacks, and told Lin Wanru to stay inside and not to go out, Lin Wanru was also a little confused, so she nodded in agreement.

When Chen Ruiwen pushed the door to go out, she lay on the table in a daze, frowning and smiling for a while, but she couldn't figure out why Chen Ruiwen suddenly talked about getting married today.

She took out the jade pendant to look at it, and she couldn't tell if it was better to marry soon or two years later, if she married now, the aunt would be so lonely and pitiful, if it was two years later, then Chen Ruiwen would probably be angry According to his temperament, he would definitely beg his aunt to get married sooner.

Lin Wanru giggled, like a girl in love, her face was filled with happiness.

Lin Wanru didn't know how long she had been sitting in the room. She lay down on the table and fell asleep, and was woken up by Xue Baochai who came back: "I've been looking for you everywhere, but you just hide here."

Lin Wanru rubbed her eyes in a daze, and said, "The dragon boat race outside is over? Who won?"

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Of course the crown prince won the first place. Now we are discussing to go upstairs to have a drink. By the way, our competition is about to begin."

Lin Wanru said, "Are you sure you will win?"

Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Do your best, but you, I remember you play the pipa very well, it's better to play with Aizhu, the chance of winning is better."

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't be in the limelight, isn't it enough to attract attention these days?"

Xue Baochai smiled and said nothing.

The banquet on the second floor has already started. The crown prince and everyone are seated in order. The crown prince and Princess Chaohuang are sitting at the top. The prince, the sixth prince, Chen Ruiwen, Liu Fang and others.

In the side halls on the left and right sides, banquets were set up for the girls. Xue Baochai and Lin Wanru sneaked in, just in time for the banquet to begin, and there were singing and dancing performances.

After eating a meal for more than an hour, when the banquet was withdrawn, another large rosewood book case was brought up, on which were placed Zihao brushes, Chengxin paper, pine smoke ink and inkstones. Huang, tell me what is better than trying."

Chaohuang stood up triumphantly, and said: "Everyone here is elegant, so we naturally compare elegant things, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how about it?"

Deng Lanzhi nodded: "It's very fair, since that's the case, let's play the piano first, and ask the princess to come up with a question, how can I win?"
