Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Tongxia went to see Mother Jia again, and told Aunt Shen what she meant: "When I was handling my aunt's marriage, the grandma of the Chen family was there to help, and nothing went wrong. Now that I want to get married with the Chen family, I can't throw everything away. For the Chen family, my aunt wants to invite my aunt to go back and take care of her for two days."

Jia Mu was thoughtful, and after a long silence, she said, "It's not easy for your aunt to support the house by herself. If that's the case, let Baoyu and Daiyu go and live there for a while."

Tongxia didn't expect Mother Jia to answer immediately, so she hurriedly kowtowed to express her thanks, and went to Lin Daiyu to spread the word.

Lin Daiyu dismissed the girl, and secretly laughed with Tongxia: "I knew that my aunt would definitely pick me up, and she would use a trick to get rid of my salary."

Tong Xia laughed and said: "Auntie is very angry when she hears this. If you come to make a scene and make a scene, she will lose her temper. Now that I have taken you to live there for a while, it is justifiable to tell Jia's family that clay figurines are also worth three points." Temper."

Lin Daiyu packed her bags and went to bid farewell to Mother Jia. Mrs. Wang was also there, and said, "Since Baoyu is going back with her, take the attacker with her, and someone will serve Baoyu when you can't get out."

Lin Daiyu didn't speak, but Jia's mother said: "Lala Zaza brought a group of people back, to help or to cause trouble? Don't bring Xiren, Zijuan and Xueyan are very safe, just bring Qingwen. She has a sharp tongue, but she can help spread the word."

Lin Daiyu responded one by one, and Mrs. Wang looked embarrassed, but she dared not say anything in front of Jia Mu.

Not only did Jia Baoyu have no objection to going to Lianhua Hutong to help, but he was very enthusiastic, saying: "The Lin family only has two daughters, you and Wanru, and now they seem to be married, so why don't our sisters and brothers-in-law help a lot?"

Jia Mu was very satisfied when she heard this, and said, "Baoyu and Chen Ruiwen will be brother-in-law in the future, so it's better to move around more now."

Chen Ruiwen's maternal grandfather was Shen Yueming.With the protection of the emperor, the crown prince didn't dare to do anything, the Bao family could no longer count on it, and now he just hoped not to offend the Chen family.

Baoyu and Daiyu moved to Lianhua Hutong, and Aunt Shen asked someone to tidy up the yard where Daiyu used to live. It was a mess, and when it was settled, Lin Daiyu sent Qingwen to help Lin Wanru: "Your needlework is good, go help Go embroider something."

Qingwen agreed, and immediately went to greet Lin Wanru.

Qingwen looks good.The mouth is also clever, and the needlework is really outstanding, compared with the cage smoke and Suoyu.Lin Wanru teased her: "It would be great if you were my girl."

Qingwen said with a smile: "Second Miss, stop teasing me. I'm just a slave, so I don't dare to be Second Miss's compliment."

When Mrs. Shen heard that Daiyu went back to live in Lianhua Hutong, she was also a little surprised. When she heard Aunt Shen tell the whole story.He understood very well, agreed very much, and said: "As soon as I mentioned Rui Wen's marriage, Zhang Luo Ruixue's marriage has also started on the second younger sibling's side. I am afraid that the Chen family will inevitably be full of excitement in the past two years."

Aunt Shen smiled and said: "Who says it's not, the children are getting older. We're all getting old too. When it's like getting married, I'm completely out of my mind."

Daiyu and Baoyu lived in Lianhua Hutong for more than half a month.She was picked up by Mother Jia, and Aunt Shen didn't stop her. She had already expressed what she wanted to express, and helping Daiyu came second. Supporting Daiyu was the goal.

Into June.The weather is getting hotter, and there are fewer banquets in the capital.Lin Daiyu only sent people to deliver things twice, and Aunt Shen was relieved when she saw that almost everything was settled, and began to spend the summer with peace of mind.

Lin Wanru was very unlucky. She couldn't go out for a day before she finished her embroidery. The weather was not too cold or hot a while ago, but it was okay. If it was hot today, she would be covered in sweat even if she sat still, and she was afraid of getting dirty with sweat. After getting the wedding dress, you have to wash your hands and face after embroidering it for a while.

The wedding dress was hanging on the embroidery rack in front of the window, and it had already been half-embroidered, and there were still a few patterns on the two sleeves, Lin Wanru could only bear with patience and grind on stitch by stitch.

Shi Aizhu and Liu Xuan posted two posts to her, knowing that she couldn't go out, and there was nothing they could do, so they wrote letters to express their regrets, and sent another letter early this morning, saying that this year the emperor will still be out of the palace to escape the summer heat, and they will accompany her as usual. I was away from the capital for another two months.

Chen Ruiwen also wanted to follow, and before leaving, he quietly came to Lianhua Alley once to give some things, but he didn't see Lin Wanru.

Into the summer, the days become longer, the maids are lazy, even the parrots hanging on the corridor are not thinking, not as cheerful as before.

Lin Wanru took a nap, and woke up with a thin layer of sweat on her body. The Xiangfei bamboo curtain hung in front of the window, covering the hot sun outside. The crystal jar on the table was filled with lychees, peaches, etc. fruit.

Lin Wanru saw that there was no one in the room, so she got up and changed her clothes, ate two lychees, and was about to call for someone when she heard someone whispering from outside.

Lin Wanru frowned and said, "Who is outside?"

Soon, Lu Ni opened the curtain and came in, her face was not very good-looking: "Girl woke up, my aunt had a guest, I don't know which house, she closed the door and talked to my aunt for a long time, only heard her crying, Everyone dare not go in."

Lin Wanru said, "Who's here? What's your last name?"

Lu Ni shook her head: "I don't know, I heard from Tong Xia that my aunt called that person my cousin."

Lin Wanru hurriedly asked someone to wash her face with water, and rushed to Aunt Shen's yard.

The door of the main hall was open, and there were four or five maids standing outside. Seeing Lin Wanru coming, she quickly stepped aside. Lin Wanru went in and took a look. A middle-aged man in his 30s sat on the head, wearing an indigo blue robe and Simple, with a majestic expression, his lower head is impressively the number one scholar Jiang Dao he saw during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Lin Wanru's first thought was that Jiang Dao really had a relationship with his aunt, and he went to see Aunt Shen. Aunt Shen's eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she calmed down now. Seeing Lin Wanru coming in, she hurriedly said to Jiang Wenming: "This is just like."

Jiang Wenming looked at Lin Wanru, and there was a delicate and delicate girl standing there, wearing a moon-white gown, her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of her deceased aunt, and her tone became much gentler: "Wan Ru is really pretty. "

Aunt Shen went to pull Lin Wanru again: "Why don't you kowtow to uncle soon?"

Although Lin Wanru was puzzled, she knelt down obediently and kowtowed.

Jiang Wenming kept nodding, pointed at Jiang Dao and said, "This is your cousin, one year older than you."

Lin Wanru saluted Jiang Dao again, and Jiang Dao returned the salute, and then sat down to talk to each other.

Aunt Shen explained to Lin Wanru: "Your grandmother's surname is Jiang, this is your grandmother's nephew, that is, my cousin."

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "So that's the case, why haven't I heard Auntie mention it?"

Jiang Wenming looked at Aunt Shen with dissatisfaction, and Aunt Shen said awkwardly: "Your uncle went to Jiangxi to study very early, and he is far away, so there is no communication."

Jiang Wenming's voice was a little harsh: "Cousin, you never mentioned this to Wanru, why didn't you tell? Are you still protecting the Shen family?"

Aunt Shen hurriedly said: "I don't, I just don't want Wanru to be involved in the grievances between the two families. Wanru's surname is Lin, and I don't want to embarrass her."

Jiang Wenming said solemnly: "Although her surname is Lin, she also sheds the blood of the Jiang family and is a member of our Jiang family. How could you not tell her and let her marry the son of the enemy?"

Lin Wanru was startled suddenly, and looked at Aunt Shen, the enemy, did you mean Shen Yuanniang?How can it be?

Aunt Shen shook her head and explained again, tears streaming down her face: "Yuanniang is not my enemy, cousin, the past is over, let's not mention it again."

Jiang Wenming looked very angry, patted the table and stood up: "Don't mention it? Didn't my father and aunt die in vain? Didn't I separate from you for nothing? You didn't mention a word, and you wiped out the sins of the Shen family. Are you sorry for my father?"

Aunt Shen was already crying, Lin Wanru hurried to comfort Jiang Wenming, a little dissatisfied with Jiang Wenming, Jiang Dao also stood up and said: "Father, this matter can't be rushed, you should tell my aunt to tell my cousin first, you are also in my 15 years old Is it time to tell me the matter? After all, my cousin is still young, and my aunt would be worried if she didn't tell me."

Jiang Wenming softened his tone when he heard the words, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go back first. The left and right live close together. I'll come back another day."

Jiang Wenming left in a hurry, but it was Jiang Dao who politely bid farewell. After leaving, Aunt Shen fell into Lin Wanru's arms and burst into tears.

Aunt Shen didn't want to think about some things anymore, but she knew very well in her heart that Jiang Wenming was referring to the incident when she was forced to become a concubine.

She has a good relationship with Yuanniang. Back then, Lin Ruhai and Yuanniang's childhood sweethearts were close. Mrs. Lin was in poor health and wanted to arrange the marriage for her son early. She thought that one was the eldest son of the Lin family and the other was the eldest daughter of the Shen family. It happened to be a marriage, but the Shen family felt that the Lin family's heirs were weak, so they were not very willing to have this marriage.

After Mrs. Lin knew about it, she felt a little bit resentful to the Shen family, and secretly planned to force Yuan Niang to marry him. At that time, there was no one in the back garden, and it was dark everywhere. Yuan Niang and Lin Ruhai were talking not far away, and she just sat Next to the flowers to play.

Later, Mrs. Lin brought the girl over aggressively. She was at a loss. She was about to call Yuan Niang, but Yuan Niang was dragged away by a girl. She couldn't help being stunned. Already here...

At that time, when faced with the questioning by her aunt, she couldn't argue, saying that Yuan Niang was there at the time, but the girl serving Yuan Niang swore that Yuan Niang didn't go out all night. Obviously it was Yuan Niang who was talking to Lin Ruhai at the time, but why did she become the one who misbehaved in the end.

She was beaten up by her father, saying that she had lost face to the Shen family, and then there was a dispute between Guan Shi and Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin wanted to marry Yuan Niang, not Wu Niang, but Guan Shi made it clear that she wanted to make matters worse. In order to preserve Lin Ruhai's reputation, Mrs. Lin had no choice but to let her in, but she became a concubine.

She was locked in the house and didn't see Yuanniang until the day she got married. Yuanniang knelt in front of her and said sorry to her in front of the whole room, so she had to be a concubine. She dragged away the miserable Yuan Niang who was crying, and someone stepped forward to surround her and help her into the sedan chair. Now she only feels in a daze when she thinks about it, and she doesn't remember clearly.
