[Qing Chuan + Red House] Lin's eldest daughter

Seeing Lin Mohan for the first time, Concubine De's heart skipped a beat.

It's no wonder that the fourth child was not even willing to touch those girls before, and she didn't have the slightest interest in it. She only thought that he was still young and not enlightened. Now it seems that he is not enlightened. It is clearly because of such gems. In front of him, waiting for an idle woman is no longer easy for him to catch.

Also as a woman who has been in the harem for so many years, Concubine De knows very well that a woman's appearance is the sharpest weapon, as long as she is not too stupid and has such a trick, she will definitely It can be invincible.

People in the world are just mortals, and there are very few people who are extraordinary and free from the shackles of emotions and desires. No matter men or women, they will inevitably be more tolerant towards those with outstanding appearance. Men are especially lenient towards beauties, let alone such stunning beauties. Even a normal man would wish he could hold someone in his palm and take care of him like a jewel.

The fourth child is just a boy, and he is different from the mature man who has gone through thousands of sails, so he is even more difficult to resist.

Knowing Mu Shaoai is the most fascinating.

Concubine De didn't take this daughter-in-law-to-be seriously before, but when she saw her today, she felt a bit of a headache.

If she had known this girl's appearance earlier, she should have won her over well, wouldn't it be easier to use than those who are not on the stage?It's a pity that she was so angry that she directly stretched out her hand and slapped her in the face. She had already made a grudge before they met. Now it's not like that when she tries to win over, and no one is a fool.

Well, it is destined to be an enemy rather than a friend.

So what if he looks good enough to seduce people?No matter if you and I are as gluey as glue, she will always have a way to mix it up.

"My maidservant pays respects to Empress Concubine De." Lin Mohan lowered her eyebrows and saluted politely.

Concubine De responded lightly, "Get up."

"Thank you, ma'am." Concubine De didn't offer the seat, so she could only stand obediently, the bottom of the flower pot that she was not used to under her feet was a burden.

"Raise your head and ask Ben Gong to take a good look."

Lin Mohan raised his head slightly as he said, and he never looked directly at the person above him, but he could clearly feel the sharp gaze, which seemed unfriendly.

After a while, the corners of Concubine De's mouth curled up, "She's a rare beauty." Her tone was contemptuous, as if she was evaluating something casually, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and said: "Empress Xiaoyi was seriously ill earlier, I heard you still He went to the temple to chant scriptures and pray for her? He is filial."

Before Lin Mohan could reply, she went on to say: "I don't know what's wrong with the Japanese palace, I always feel a little uncomfortable, the imperial doctor has seen it several times but I don't know anything, I don't know if you are also willing to serve the palace. Chanting scriptures and praying for peace?"

Can you say you don't want to?Lin Mohan had no room to refuse at all.

"Slaves are willing."

"Good boy, I already know that you are filial." Concubine De smiled, and her tone seemed to be very kind, "You don't need to go to the temple again, it just so happens that there is a small Buddhist hall in the Yonghe Palace in this palace. It's also convenient. Qiuwen, take Miss Lin and take care of her."

It is said to be serving, but in fact it is just asking her to watch from the side.

Qiuwen knew what it meant, and smiled, "Miss Lin, please come with your slaves."

Lin Mohan bowed again and resigned. She knew in her heart that Concubine De wanted to torture her, and there must be other arrangements, but with her status, she really couldn't resist anything, so she had to come to cover it up with soldiers.

There is a Buddha statue enshrined in the small Buddhist hall, but there is no futon under it, and it must have been taken away without asking.

Qiu Wen didn't intend to explain at all, just handed her a scroll of scriptures, and smiled on the surface, "Miss Lin, please."

Lin Mohan sighed secretly, the word "filial piety" was really overwhelming, but she was not so easy to bully.

She lowered her head slightly, her face flushed red, and she looked embarrassed, "Can you wait a moment, I...I want to change clothes..."

The so-called changing clothes is just an elegant term, which means wanting to go to the latrine.

Qiuwen couldn't help showing disdain, how could the girl make such a request when she went out as a guest?vulgar.

But this person had three urgencies, and he really had to let her go, so he had to take her there.

When they reached the door of the hut, Lin Mohan twitched again: "Don't dare to bother the girl, it's enough for me to have Nanny Xi around me."

Qiuwen is the maid of honor next to Concubine De, she usually just serves tea and water, so naturally she doesn't like to serve people in the latrine, it's really disgusting for her to serve her, so she naturally stopped here.

After a while, the master and servant came out, Qiuwen didn't think much about it at all, and just led them back to the small Buddhist hall.

This time, Lin Mohan didn't ask any more, she just knelt down on the cold and hard floor and began to chant scriptures seriously, with a very pious expression, but no one could find fault with it.

She was pampered and spoiled on weekdays, with delicate skin and tender flesh all over her body, where did she suffer any crimes?After kneeling for a while, my knees began to ache.

Qiu Wen stood aside and watched, and when she saw her legs move slightly, she coughed lightly, and reprimanded: "Miss Lin is not devout enough, if you offend the Buddha and make your mother sick, you can Can you afford it?"

Lin Mohan pursed her lips slightly, a look of coldness flashed in her eyes, but she continued to chant sutras with a meek and respectful attitude.

Seeing her being so "weak and deceitful", Qiuwen became more and more contemptuous in her heart, and a little bit of it appeared on her face, but she didn't realize at all that that Nanny Xi had disappeared without a trace.

After a while, Lin Mohan said in a weak voice, "Miss Qiuwen, can you allow me to rest for a while? I feel dizzy..."

Qiuwen's face sank, her eyebrows frowned, and she said in a bad tone: "But it's only been a while, how can I get tired? If the girl doesn't want to, you can just say it. The empress is not that mean person, so she won't force it. Girl, girl, you don't have to try to make excuses."

"I didn't..." Before she could finish her sentence, her body shook slightly, then she closed her eyes and fell to the ground without moving.

Qiuwen was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly called someone to help her, while she ran into the main hall in a hurry.

"Your Majesty is not well, Miss Lin fainted!"

"What?" Concubine De was also stunned, with slightly frowned eyebrows, "It's only been half an hour, why did she faint? So weak? Could it be an act?"

Mother Wen said, "Whether it's a fake or not, you'll know if you ask the imperial physician to come and have a look."

Concubine De waved her hands irritably, and ordered someone to invite the imperial physician, and at the same time ordered the servants to carry Lin Mohan to her bed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the imperial doctor entered the door, he heard the voice of the servant outside, "The empress dowager is here!"

Concubine De was shocked, stood up abruptly, and looked at each other with Nanny Wen, feeling uneasy.

This empress dowager has never been very carefree, she usually only stays in her own palace of benevolence to enjoy life, and rarely goes out for a walk, and now she came to Yonghe Palace for an unprecedented time, it really makes people think about it.

Before he could think about it, the queen mother had already stepped into the house.

"The empress dowager is blessed and safe."

Everyone in the room knelt down on the ground, but the queen mother only yelled lightly, without even looking at Concubine De, she went straight to the bed.

The little girl on the bed had exquisite eyebrows and eyes that were whiter than snow, but at this moment her eyes were closed tightly and she was motionless, showing a bit of fragility and pitifulness for no reason.

The Empress Dowager frowned, and looked at Concubine De dissatisfied, "What's going on? The Ai family heard that you called the Lin family girl into the palace, but they made people kneel down and faint? You should talk to the Ai family. What wrong did the little girl do to make you punish her so harshly?"

Concubine De hurriedly explained: "The Empress Dowager misunderstood, the concubine loves this child very much, how can he be so cruel? It's just that the child is filial, and when he heard that the concubine was ill recently, he wanted to chant scriptures for the concubine Pray for blessings, who would have thought... This child is really too delicate and weak... If I had known this earlier, I would definitely not have allowed her to say anything."

He opened his eyes and said nonsense, and put all the responsibility on Lin Mohan.

"You really love people." The Queen Mother suddenly sneered, and said, "Since you love people so much, why don't you even give them a futon?"

"What?" Concubine De was stunned, she turned around and slapped Qiu Wen, "I told you to serve Miss Lin carefully, and that's how you serve? Asking someone to kneel on the floor without a futon? I was still puzzled." Why did you kneel down and faint, but it turned out that you, a slave, were negligent and caused the little girl to suffer, you deserve to die!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Qiu Wen hurriedly plopped down on her knees, covered her face and cried, "It's because the servant was negligent for a while, and the servant kowtowed to Miss Lin, please forgive me this time!"

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the two masters and servants are just putting on a show. The Empress Dowager looks on coldly, feeling very tired of Concubine De's behavior. What annoys her most is this kind of eloquent woman.

"Okay, is Aijia a fool in your eyes?" The queen mother, who has never understood what euphemism is, directly lifted the fig leaf of Concubine De, and said angrily: "Aijia is old, but he is not stupid! The truth What exactly is going on, you know best in your heart, whether you admit it or not, it’s up to you, after all, Ai’s family is not here to settle the case, so you don’t have to act like this in front of Ai’s family.”

Concubine De's face turned green, she never thought that this upright empress dowager would be so shameless, no matter how eloquent she was, she was choked to death at this time.

The Empress Dowager didn't care whether Concubine De was ashamed or annoyed, she continued: "The Ai family came here today just to tell you that the Lin family girl is not only your future daughter-in-law, but also a first-rank official in the court. There is absolutely no reason for the eldest daughter to be bullied wantonly! She is so well-behaved, but she was tortured to death when she entered the palace. What do you think Mr. Lin thinks? What do you ask the ministers beside you to think? ? Even if the emperor commits a crime, who needs to have a serious reason? Where did you get the right to punish whoever you want as a concubine? The daughter who is still a first-rank official is a slave in your palace!"

Do you really think that someone who calls himself a "servant" is a slave who will be beaten, killed and punished by you?The face and dignity of an important official of the court is that even the emperor has to take care of one or two, and trample others for no reason, I will give you what you can!

"Concubine... I know I was wrong..." Concubine De gritted her teeth, knowing that the Empress Dowager was really angry, she didn't dare to argue anymore.

"It's fine if you know you're wrong. I'll punish you for copying a hundred and eighty volumes of Buddhist scriptures. On the one hand, you have to give the Lin family an account of this matter. On the other hand, you should also cultivate yourself." After saying that, it didn't matter what De Fei's face was like. Ugly, the Empress Dowager just took the imperial doctor to ask about the situation, and she was relieved when she found out that there was nothing serious. When she returned to the Palace of Mercy, she immediately ordered someone to send a generous reward, which can be regarded as representing the royal consolation That's all.

Not long after the Queen Mother left, Lin Mohan finally opened his eyes.

"Miss Lin is very capable, but I was careless." Concubine De was smiling, her tone was gentle and calm, but her eyes were filled with coldness.

Lin Mohan showed a dazed face, pretending not to understand what she was talking about, "What's the meaning of your ladyship? Your ladyship blames the slaves for failing to pray for your ladyship? It's all slaves who are not able to live up to their expectations..."

Concubine De looked at her coldly, and smiled more and more gently, "My good boy, I know you are filial, so you don't have to blame yourself like this. After all, the future will last forever, and there will always be a time when you will be filial to me in the future."

It's almost like saying clearly, you are my daughter-in-law, and you are destined to be unable to escape from my grasp in this life.

The corner of Lin Mohan's mouth curled up, revealing a cute and pleasant smile, "This slave will definitely be filial to your mother in the future."

"Okay, I'm waiting for you." Concubine De's eyes turned colder, and the hypocritical smile on her face faded, "It's getting late, you should go back to the residence first, and our mother will be free now." Let's meet again."

Mammy Xi, who had been busy outside for a while, quietly appeared again at some point, serving Lin Mohan, and the master and servant stepped out of the Yonghe Palace unhurriedly.

"What a treacherous girl!" Concubine De laughed back angrily, with a gloomy and ruthless face, she glared at Qiu Wen and shouted angrily, "Kneel down for me! I told you to stare at people, that's how you do it!" ? You don’t even know when the two masters and servants discussed the countermeasures? You also don’t know when that old man surnamed Xi slipped out. What use is this palace asking you for!”

Qiu Wen was so frightened that she trembled all over, and replied in a low voice: "Then Miss Lin said she was going to relieve herself... It's not easy for slaves to stop..."

"You still dare to argue? Nanny Wen, give me a slap in the face!"

Nanny Wen stepped forward in response, bowing left and right with a crisp sound, only hitting Qiu Wen with stars in her eyes and crying bitterly.

The Yonghe Palace was full of depression, and Lin Mohan, who had stepped out of the Yonghe Palace not far away, bumped into Jia Yuanchun by accident.

When I saw Jia Yuanchun in the palace for the first time, she was still a plainly dressed little maid, but now, she is dressed in brocade clothes and full of pearls and emeralds.

"Good sister, I've been waiting for you." Jia Yuanchun took two steps forward and grabbed Lin Mohan who was about to salute, and said with a worried face: "I heard that you fainted in the Yonghe Palace, and I really want to go and see You, but you are afraid that you will be hurt again, so you can only wait here, but you are really worried about me."

Lin Mohan smiled slightly, "Madam Lao is worried, and the servant is fine."

"It's fine if there's nothing wrong with my sister. If there's something wrong with my sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life." Jia Yuanchun was full of guilt, and said softly, "My sister's suffering this time is probably because of me...I I was originally transferred to the Yonghe Palace to serve, but now...the concubine de concubine has hated me, but I still have a bit of love in front of the emperor, for the time being, she doesn't dare to touch me easily..." This anger was stuck in my heart , don't think of a way to spread it.

Lin Mohan was already hated by Concubine De, but she happened to be Jia Yuanchun's cousin, so the old and new grudges added together did not cause people to hate.

Originally, Lin Mohan had never thought about Jia Yuanchun, but now he suddenly realized that there must be such a reason.

However, why did Jia Yuanchun run out to take responsibility?It's always been just to shirk responsibility, so it's rare to take the responsibility on yourself.

Lin Mohan was suspicious, and even raised his three-point vigilance, but he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled softly, "Even if the concubine de concubine is really angry, it's not normal for a servant to be seen outside the palace, and what's more, something like this happened today , the empress dowager is already angry, and the empress dowager de concubine will not do anything to the servants easily, so there is no need for the empress to worry about the slaves."

Jia Yuanchun choked for a moment, wondering if she knew what he was planning, but after staring at her, he still couldn't see anything unusual about her.

After a while of silence, Jia Yuanchun thought about it again and said: "Sister, don't be careless. I have been in the palace for so many years, and she... I am quite familiar with her, and she is by no means a good person to get along with."

"Your maidservant knows, thank you for your reminder." She didn't say a single word if it was superfluous, she was more than polite but not close enough.

Jia Yuanchun fell silent again, unavoidably a little discouraged.

With such an attitude, what else can she say to others?

"Concubine Xian, do you have anything else to say? Our girl has just woken up from a coma, please forgive me, Concubine Xian." Madam Xi said with a slight frown.

Jia Yuanchun had no choice but to let him go, "I was negligent, sister, let's go back and rest quickly."

"The slaves retire."

Back home, Lin Mohan never told her younger sister Lin Daiyu what happened in the palace, fearing that she would be too worried to sleep again.

But Lin Ruhai heard from the outside that a person who was always gentle and polite, rarely had a gloomy face outside, as if extremely angry.

Concubine De is a concubine in the deep palace, his hands can't reach that far, but doesn't she still have family members?But it's a coated family, and it's not easy to pack it up?

But don't worry about this matter, if you do something at this time, it will definitely remind people of their family. He is not afraid of any revenge, but he is afraid that Concubine De will hate his daughter even more. Family members, that would be a bloody feud, Concubine De would definitely jump over the wall and fight back crazily, so wait a little longer, it won't be too late to take revenge after the limelight passes.

After Lin Ruhai made up his mind, he began to work secretly, and when the time came, he would blow up Na Wuya's house in one fell swoop!

Dare to bully Lin Ruhai's favorite jewel?Ah.

After dinner, the family of four were chatting together, Lin Daiyu recalled what happened during the day, and said, "Today, the second aunt sent someone to say that the family will hold a water banquet for seven consecutive days starting tomorrow, so we can remember the past."

"Seven days of running water feast?"

Several people were speechless together, but it was really generous.

Lin Mohan couldn't help frowning, "For so many years in this dynasty, even the families of the queens have never held any running water banquets. Their family is fine. It's too frivolous and flamboyant to hold a seven-day running water banquet for a concubine. It’s too much to fly to the sky.”

Lin Ruhai also shook his head and sighed secretly, how long has Jia Yuanchun been in the palace?He entered the palace at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and he failed to catch the eyes of the emperor when he was so green and tender. Now he is in his twenties and is about to be released from the palace. Why is he suddenly valued by the emperor? ?Moreover, she became a concubine in one fell swoop from a court lady, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step. Don't you think it's weird to be such a great honor?Today's sage is by no means such a person who makes his mind faint, otherwise, with Jia Yuanchun's appearance, why did he not come out until today?

Anyone with a discerning eye could detect the unusualness here, but the Jia family didn't notice it at all. Instead, they fell into ecstasy and cheered up. Behaving so ostentatiously, I'm afraid they will suffer.

Lin Daiyu asked: "Then shall we go? Today my second aunt wanted to pick up our two sisters, but my sister went into the palace. I really didn't dare to go there by myself, so I excused myself because I was not feeling well." Yes, someone will come to invite me tomorrow.”

"No." Lin Ruhai shook his head without thinking, "Since Yu'er is using the excuse of being sick today, let's continue to use this excuse. Han'er will take care of her sister at home... In short, don't go along with me these few days , so messy and frivolous that I don't know what my last name is."

Although he didn't want to get involved, Lin Ruhai prepared a generous gift and sent it to him the next day, just to show his face, which was regarded as a way of showing his relatives' affection.

Every day in the old lady's house, there are many people who surround and flatter her. Now that Jia Yuanchun is a concubine, it will be even more lively, not only from his own family and the female family members of the East Mansion, but also relatives such as the historians and the Wang family. Yes, the room is full of people, and the noisy voices of those women can be heard from a long distance outside. Ordinary people are afraid that they will be dizzy, but Jiamu enjoys this atmosphere very much. Everyone They all held her up and said good things, as if they had returned to the heyday of the Jia family in a trance, and it was even more beautiful than then.

I only hope that Yuan Chun can give birth to a little elder brother as soon as possible, and in the future...Mother Jia narrowed her cloudy eyes.

"Old lady." A woman opened the curtain and came in, said: "Uncle Lin sent a congratulatory gift. I heard that the old lady is entertaining female relatives here, so I said it was inconvenient to come to say hello, and I will come to see the old lady some other day."

Mother Jia nodded and asked again, "He came alone? Where are my two granddaughters?"

"Uncle Lin told the second master that the second girl of the Lin family is ill, and the eldest girl is guarding her."

"Yu'er is sick?" Jia Mu looked anxious and worried, "But what kind of disease is it? Is it serious?"

The old woman shook her head, "Second Master never asked, and Uncle Lin never elaborated."

Mother Jia told her mother-in-law to retreat, and hurriedly told Yuanyang, "Go to the Lin's house and see what's wrong with Yu'er."

The mandarin ducks left at the sound, and everyone in the room praised the old lady for her kindness and kindness.

Of course, as the mother-in-law of the Concubine Xian, Mrs. Wang is also the object of everyone's flattery. I saw her sitting in the crowd, as beautiful as the stars holding the moon. Although she still pretended to be indifferent on the surface, her chin But it got higher and higher, even when talking to her natal sister-in-law, she faintly showed a sense of superiority.

Impatiently, Xue Baochai crouched low to look up at someone, and quietly tugged on her mother's clothes, signaling her to leave first.

After receiving her hint, Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "I still have some things to take care of at home, so let's take my leave first, and come back to greet the old lady sometime later."

"You're leaving now?" Mrs. Wang looked at her dissatisfied, and said, "Follow me, I have something to say to you."

This tone made Xue Baochai frown even more.

The mother and daughter followed Mrs. Wang into her room. Mrs. Wang didn't make any detours, and asked directly: "What do you think about the matter we agreed on in the past? You know, I I have always liked Bao girl's character the most, if our two families can get closer, it would be great."

Aunt Xue was taken aback, "Didn't you take a fancy to the second girl of the Lin family?"

"That girl..." Mrs. Wang curled her lips, showing some disgust, and said, "You are my own sister, and I am not afraid to tell you directly that I want to hire that girl just for the sake of Lin Ruhai and her sister. That's all, if it wasn't for her family to help Baoyu, I would absolutely despise her."

Xue Baochai couldn't help feeling speechless after hearing this.

Don't like Lin Daiyu?Even if Lin Daiyu didn't have such a family background, she was more than enough to match Jia Baoyu, not to mention that she was very good in everything, regardless of appearance, character, family background, where did she get the confidence to feel that Jia Baoyu was wronged by Lin Daiyu?

Aunt Xue was also a little confused by her elder sister, "So what do you mean now? You don't like that girl from the Lin family again, and you like my Baochai again?"

Mrs. Wang said: "What I mean is, that girl of the Lin family looks like she's about to fall when the wind blows. I'm afraid it will be hard for her children in the future. Bao girl may have to be wronged first, but it will be fine when she has a child in the future."

Xue Baochai was stunned, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she was angry.

Aunt Xue jumped into a rage, jumped up from the kang, pointed at Mrs. Wang's nose and said angrily, "You actually want to ask my Baochai to be your son's concubine? You are really my good sister! My sister! "

Mrs. Wang's face fell suddenly, "Do you still feel that you have been wronged? Yuan Chun is now a concubine and empress. Once she gives birth to a younger brother, a noble concubine is just around the corner. Baoyu is the younger brother of the empress and a compatriot. It's okay for a lady from an official family to be a concubine, but I like Bao girl's character..."

"Then you can accept the lady of the official family!" Aunt Xue sneered again and again, and said sarcastically: "I have been your sister for half my life, how can I not know you? Don't be hypocritical with me, you are just a power I also want money, I want money, I want to take advantage of all the benefits, greed is not enough, I am not as smart as you, but you can't easily coax me, I have no man in my life, Life is just such a pair of sons and daughters, if you are in a hurry, I will fight with you!"

"Your daughter is now a concubine, and her status is becoming more and more noble. Our Xue family is just a mere businessman, and we can't compete with rich and powerful families like you. In the future, we won't come to your door casually. Let's leave!" After finishing speaking, he pulled his daughter He went out angrily.

Mrs. Wang couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. She was shocked and angry and still a little puzzled. She didn't understand why her younger sister was so angry. She was indeed greedy. The Lin family had power and wealth, but no one could You don't think it's too much money, do you?Besides, the Lin family has another son now, and that boy will inherit the big head in the future. How much dowry can a girl have?So she also wants the Xue family's wealth.

She has an impure purpose, but isn't this a good thing for the Xue family?The Xue family is just a merchant, and Xue Baochai will either marry into the merchant and be the wife of the housewife. If she wants to marry an official family, it is not her turn to be the housewife if the family is so high. What's wrong with Baoyu being small?With a family like Rongfu, Baoyu's own sister is still a concubine, how can she be wronged as a merchant girl?

The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She felt that her younger sister really didn't know good and bad, and she didn't want to be a child of her family's Baoyu, so she wanted to see what kind of good family Xue Baochai could find!

Thinking about the Lin family whose eyes were higher than the roof, she became more and more depressed, stood up abruptly and went to the old lady's house.

She told the old lady to settle down the Lin family as soon as possible, and if the Xue family didn't like it, they would pull it down. It was just some money, and Xue's family was not the only one who had money. At worst, they could just find other families, but the Lin family couldn't give up. .
