Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Although scholars can't lift their shoulders or lift their hands, they are the most deceptive and stubborn. Nowadays, the scholars are divided into three factions, and the Ye family has retired. Only the Shen family can compete with Mr. Wei, but now the Shen family is in a weak position, and it is very difficult It is easy to be annexed by the gentleman of Wei. At that time, all the disciples of the gentleman of Wei will be the disciples of the gentleman of Wei. Isn't it true that the gentleman of Wei will be what he says?

Especially when Jiang Dao took refuge with the Fifth Prince, and Jiang Wenming was extremely favored by Mr. Wei. If Mr. Wei wanted to help Jiang Wenming take revenge, if he ascended the throne, more than half of the people in the court would respond. By then, the Shen family would really be swallowed up. There are no bones left. Now it seems that Jiang Dao has taken refuge in the fifth prince, but at that time, it may become the fifth prince who borrowed the power of Junzi Wei.

The second prince broke out in a cold sweat, and his expression became more serious. The emperor looked at the comfort in his heart, and his tone became more gentle: "I asked you to worship Deng Yuan as your teacher at the beginning, just to be on guard. Now that Mr. Wei is coming to the capital, everyone He must be flocking to him, even if Yue Ming is superficial, he can't stop Youyou's mouth, and the Shen family will definitely suffer at that time. Now I can only try my best to promote the Shen family, so that I can compete with Mr. Wei. You have to remember, the emperor's art requires To master absolute power, you must also know the way of balance. You can't make one side bigger, and you can't make one side too weak. Only when they are evenly matched and can't fight, the power in your hand belongs to you alone. This is what it means when the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman reaps the benefits."

The second prince's heart jumped when he heard this. The first time his father taught him the art of emperor, does it mean that the steelyard in his father's heart has finally tilted?

The second prince's heart was overwhelmed, and his face became more respectful and humble. He didn't kneel down until the emperor told him to go back. After returning, he immediately asked Chen Ruiwen to discuss the matter. This time.Regardless of public or private, he must stand on the side of the Shen family, and must not let the Jiang family, or let Junzi Wei succeed.

Lin Wanru was shut up by Aunt Shen at home to embroider dowry, she got up early and went to bed early every day, did needlework, talked and laughed with the maids, and lived a leisurely life, but Chen Ruiwen kept to the rules and never came to the door every other day or two.On the contrary, Mrs. Shen often sent her mother-in-law to deliver things.

On this day, as usual, a woman came to the door, but it was Lin Daiyu who sent her back.Because it was the first time for Lin Daiyu to send someone back to her natal home to deliver things, it was very grand and sent two mothers over, among them, Lin's mother was Lin Daiyu's companion.The old man of the Lin family, but Madam Wang is a servant of the Jia family.

The two of them kowtowed to Aunt Shen, and Aunt Shen also rewarded them with respect, and told them to sit on the twig and talk. Mother Lin laughed and said, "Second Grandma ordered us to bring some fresh melons and fruits to Aunt Shen and Second Miss, and by the way Ask Auntie if there is anything I can help you with here."

It's about Wanru's marriage.Aunt Shen nodded in relief, and said with a smile: "I'm worrying my aunt, I'm fine here. But my aunt, how are you doing recently?"

Mama Wang was about to say something along with the smile, Mama Lin said first, "Auntie doesn't know yet, the second grandma brought two maids to the house, and set up two tables of banquets to celebrate."

Aunt Shen's face suddenly darkened.Daiyu has been married for less than a month, so why did Tongfang escape.

She looked at the embarrassed mother Wang.I probably have a clue in my heart, it must be Mrs. Wang who made the move. She was not satisfied with Daiyu in the first place, but now that she is a daughter-in-law, why not just stuff people into Baoyu's room.

Daiyu agreed, because there are too many people in the room, she must feel uncomfortable, if she should not, it is jealousy, and Mrs. Wang took advantage of it.

Aunt Shen was angry, so she was not very polite when she spoke: "It is said that the son and master of the family don't have two maids, and it's virtuous for the aunt to raise the house, so why is there a wine to celebrate? Which girl is so respectable?"

Mother Lin said: "My aunt doesn't know, it was Miss Xiren and Miss Sheyue who were in the second master's room who were carried into the common room. The original wife said that Xiren has served the second master for so long, and he is also old, so there should be a The name, because the old lady rewarded the successor, the second grandma asked the old lady what she thought, but the old lady didn't say anything, and only asked the second grandma to figure it out, and the second grandma said, if you talk about the old man in the second master's room, It's not just attackers, Qingwen is also sent by the old lady to serve. Instead of just picking up an attacker, it's better to take Qingwen as well. The old lady sent to serve others, not to seduce the men, and she didn't want to be a roommate, and the second mistress didn't like to force others, so she carried Musk Moon according to the wife's wishes."

After a few words, Aunt Shen probably understood what Daiyu meant. Mrs. Wang praised Xiren, so she praised Qingwen, who was also the girl in front of Jiamu. On the one hand, it prevents Xiren from relying on the love of serving him since he was a child, and on the other hand, he also reflects his virtuousness.

But I didn't expect Qingwen to be hot-tempered, with a strong temper, and she didn't want to get this Qiaoer. Qingwen's words firstly showed her loyalty, and secondly, she slapped Xiren hard on the mouth. Daiyu is beneficial, so Daiyu pushes the boat with the water and promotes the moon.

Judging from this plan, Daiyu is also a careful planner, and she will not let herself suffer. Aunt Shen comforted herself, and she was relieved, and smiled: "I didn't expect Qingwen to be so hot-tempered, and a good girl should be like this. Tongxia, go to my box and get two pairs of gold hairpins and two pairs of bracelets, ask Mother Lin to take them back and give them to Qingwen, just tell her what I said, and tell her to serve the second master and second grandmother well, and I will take care of her in the future when she gets married. She's calling the shots."

Tongxia knew what Aunt Shen meant, and responded with a smile, and took a pair of long red gold hairpins inlaid with garnets, a pair of short red gold lotus hairpins, and two pairs of exquisitely carved dragon and phoenix bracelets from Aunt Shen's dowry. Aunt Shen looked over, and Aunt Shen nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Take two more pieces of satin and send them over, and give them to Xi Ren and She Yue."

The purpose of Lin's mother's coming is to hope that Aunt Shen can make a move and support Daiyu as her mother's family. Seeing that Aunt Shen is acting like this, she can't close her mouth when she smiles. The Jia family ignored it, if Aunt Shen didn't take this opportunity to stand out for Daiyu, Mrs. Wang would be bullied even more.

Mother Lin picked up the things with a smile, and said that she would deliver them, but Mother Wang was extremely embarrassed by the side. Aunt Shen glanced at her, ignored her, and talked to Mother Lin directly: "The second girl's marriage You go back and tell your aunt, don't worry, everything is in order, tell her to take care of herself, take care of her body, and have a child sooner than anything else."

Mama Lin smiled and said: "Second Master and Second Grandma are loving each other. Since they got married, they haven't had time to spend time. Although Second Grandma's background is weak, she is loved by the old lady who gives her some supplements from time to time. Second Master is here to ask for warmth. My body is gradually getting stronger, and I used to cough a few times when the seasons changed, but this year nothing happened, everything is fine."

Aunt Shen smiled and said: "I knew that since she is both a granddaughter and a granddaughter-in-law, the old lady must be in pain."

Mama Wang was listening, feeling more and more fidgety, until Mama Lin left, and then she stood up with relief.

As soon as the person left, Aunt Shen's expression turned cold, and she asked Tongxia: "Is Xiren the girl who takes care of the big and small things in my uncle's house?"

Although Tongxia served Aunt Shen, when she was at Jia's house, she was familiar with the girls of Jia's house just like Longyan and the others. She heard the voice and said: "No, Xiren originally lived in the old lady's house, because she is gentle and careful. , the old lady was transferred to the uncle's room to serve her. She was soft-tempered, and there was nothing she didn't like. Although Qingwen was in front of the old lady like her, she was hot-tempered and sharp-mouthed. If you are unhappy, you always have to say it, so no one dares to provoke it, but the popularity is not very good, but that Sheyue, who was originally a little girl, was trained step by step by Xiren."

Aunt Shen thought for a while, and told Tongxia: "Go and order the stove to make some snacks that my aunt likes to eat, and then pack two bags of things like ginseng and bird's nest, and send them to Jia's house for my aunt, and talk about the girl in the house. I already know that she did a good job and didn't embarrass our Lin family. Then I went to pay my respects to the old lady and said what I said. The family is busy with the second girl's marriage. Help me out for a while."

Tongxia was puzzled, but she nodded and went to prepare herself, and took the car to Jia's house.

Tongxia came to deliver things under the order of Aunt Shen, and walked all the way into Yihong Courtyard, when she heard someone bickering, the little girl who guarded the gate ran in to pass on the message, and Tongxia went in holding the things with a smile, But her eyes fixed on a young girl standing under the eaves of the wing room, wearing a water-red bijia and a white silk skirt, with her hips crossed, she didn't know what she was talking about, Tongxia recognized it, it was Qingwen.

Tongxia smiled slightly, and entered the room, Jia Baoyu was not there, Lin Daiyu was looking at the account book, and there were two girls standing beside her, seeing Tongxia coming in, Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Sister Tongxia is here, please sit down."

Tongxia was not too polite, she sat on the low stool beside Lin Daiyu, and said with a smile: "My aunt told me to bring some bird's nest to my aunt, and two ginseng plants for my aunt's body, which were just made on the stove when I came. For snacks, my aunt asked me to bring some over."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "It's hard to bother my aunt."

Tongxia laughed and said: "It's not that Lin's mother went to deliver things, she talked a lot of things, and my aunt was worried, so she asked me to come and have a look, and said that my aunt is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she has a noble status, and she should be more generous in her actions. I can't make people laugh, because I heard Mama Lin said that my aunt praised the two maids, so she said, this is how everyone's son and mistress should behave, virtuous and virtuous, with a certain amount of advance and retreat, and my aunt has done a good job."

Lin Daiyu understood, and said with a smile, "It's my fault that Auntie is worried about such a small matter." She kept Tongxia for tea, and gave two purses as a reward before she left.
