Lin's Aunt in the Red Chamber

The thing that I had been secretly planning was put on the table, and I felt a little embarrassed in my heart, but I was more moved, touched that he was so considerate of himself.

After the wedding date was actually set, Lin Lan could clearly feel that whether it was the husband in the Imperial College or his classmates, their attitude towards him had changed, becoming more respectful and cautious.Even Daiyu complained that there were more people flattering her recently, which made her unable to concentrate on her studies.

Ordinary girls get married and have to embroider a wedding gown or something, but Lin Lan has court clothes, and even a wedding gown carefully made by hundreds of embroiderers in the Weaving Bureau. So there is no need to embroider a small purse or the like.

Even if Lin Xiao wanted to handle her daughter’s wedding dowry, she couldn’t intervene. The crown prince’s dowry is a matter of the court, and the dressing box, jade jewelry, etc. are supervised by the inner government, and other silks and satins are from the weaving departments of various places. Things... There are even some mirrors, clocks and the like that need to be purchased abroad.

The only thing Lin Xiao could do was to prepare some land and money for her daughter as a dowry, leaving all the dowry that she had prepared for her daughter to Daiyu, and then raised three hundred thousand taels of silver from the public, and Lin Hai went back alone. I donated 10 taels, the family gave 50 taels, and the Xiao family gave 5 taels. They pooled up [-] taels of silver and exchanged it for [-] taels of gold for their daughter as wedding silver.

"Sister, can you ask my brother-in-law about the Xue family's shipping? I want to know something!" Lin Lan felt that it was a waste to buy a mirror abroad, but how is the main material of the mirror made of glass? , she couldn’t remember with Ben, she probably knew that it was made of quartz sand, limestone and soda ash, but she didn’t know what it was, so she wanted to ask Xue Feng to see that Xue’s family was overseas. Do you know any craftsmen who can hook you up with a lot of money?

Xue Feng was summoned by his sister-in-law, so he didn't dare to delay, but he didn't know much about shipping, so he could only go back and find a way to ask the old man of Xue's family.

"Grandfather, if you want to go abroad to buy things, why not bring our silk porcelain, handicrafts, paintings, clay sculptures, tea leaves, purple sand pots, etc., and make a fortune by buying them, so that you can save money." Xue Feng didn't ask yet. As it happened, the Supreme Emperor asked Lin Lanxiang what he wanted. Since the wedding date was set, he asked Lin Lan to change his mouth and call him grandfather, but Lin Lan felt that grandpa was kind.Lin Lan was stunned when he heard that the boat was empty, and said hastily.

When the Supreme Emperor heard this, seeing the pity on the little girl's face, he was stunned for a while, and then said: "Why are you so small..."

"It's not petty. I heard that the red-haired and green-eyed Westerners outside are the most wealthy and have countless gems and treasures, but their fabrics are rough... and they like handmade products the most. Let's prepare some In the past, it would be good to change some precious stones. Mirrors and clocks are so expensive, and if there is nothing, we can only let them earn from us, and we don’t earn from them.” Lin Lan hurriedly said, already extravagantly driving more than a dozen boats to buy for himself The dowry is over, why not take the opportunity to make some money?

The Supreme Emperor thought about it too, since Lin Lan himself didn't care, so he agreed with a smile, and listened to her counting the makeup knife of Silla and the big sword of Wa with her fingers... Lin Lan said suddenly, "We have to do it in secret. Collect some seeds and books, and if possible, let the envoys negotiate with the princes of various countries...see what good things they have."

Tu Yexi saw that Lin Lanyue said that his eyes became brighter, so he said, "Why don't you invite the envoys from all over the world to watch the ceremony!" Since Lan'er likes it, why don't you take the opportunity to get some people back, maybe there is no need to confuse some problems .

"Inviting envoys from various countries to come to watch the ceremony?" The Supreme Emperor was going to refuse without even thinking about it, but when the imperial doctor came in with the food and saw the porridge made of jade and wheat grains, he thought about it seriously.Daqing is now a prosperous country and the people are peaceful, so it is not impossible to consider these, and the external fruit and high-yield grains such as jade and wheat may not have other things?

"But what about the time?" Although the wedding period of one year and three months is not too early, if these are added, it is obviously not enough. It will take several months to prepare the fleet to go to sea.

Tu Yexi opened his mouth and said: "Spending the fleet of the aristocratic family, shouldn't it be enough to buy things from all over the country first to the caravan of the envoy?" As Lan'er said, using these ordinary materials to exchange a large amount of gold and silver, Then use high-quality materials to make friends with the palaces of various countries...

The Supreme Emperor agreed, the Crown Prince agreed, and the Emperor also felt that there was no reason not to agree, so he also agreed, and at the same time ordered the Qin Tianjian to set up a new auspicious day for backup.

Qin Tianjian had selected the best day in three years before, and soon the day of May [-] of the following year was brought up.

Lin Lan really didn't have any problems getting married later, and she would be fine two years later, let alone only half a year.

Seeing Lin Lan's understanding of righteousness, the Supreme Emperor liked this granddaughter-in-law more and more, and also blamed Emperor Rende for the Queen's intention to send people to the East Palace after the wedding date was set.

Emperor Rende took the blame for his daughter-in-law, and she was still a daughter-in-law he didn't like, so he hated to see Empress Li even more in his heart.

"I just said that the girl surnamed Lin was sexually raped. She has already disturbed the emperor and the prince's maintenance before she entered the house. How can my life be so hard in the future?" Empress Li saw that Emperor Rende rarely came to her In the palace, he said that he was indeed asking himself not to interfere in the affairs of the East Palace, and then his face changed!After Emperor Rende left, he dropped everything he could.

Seeing this, the nuns and palace people around them dared not show their anger.

Only Nanny Song hugged the crazy Queen Li, choked up and said, "Mother, don't do this, as long as the prince is here, you are the queen! The most honorable woman in the world!"

Empress Li just smashed it for a while, then felt suffocated, collapsed on the bed, and muttered to herself: "Why did I give birth to that unfilial thing so desperately?" Like a normal person, wouldn't he stay on the sick bed for so many years?

Nanny Song paused and quickly covered her mouth.Whispering: "If there is no crown prince, wouldn't the noble concubine be even more insane?"

Empress Li sighed when she heard the words, moved Nanny Song's hand away, and said softly: Yes!The emperor has never liked Bengong, there was that lowly girl in the past, and now there is the noble concubine, everyone seems to be more favored than Bengong!

Nanny Song beat the people around Queen Li hard, not allowing them to spread the Queen's words to the outside world.

"Postponed..." When the imperial decree was issued again, the whole court was in an uproar. Even the people in Beijing were discussing these things. When they heard that foreigners were red-haired and green-eyed monsters, they were terrified.As a last resort, in the new issue of Mulan Weekly, Lin Lan found some merchants who had lived in the coastal area, and after asking them to narrate, he personally painted portraits of people from various countries.Looking at these portraits, Bai Xizhi muttered to himself.

Although she knew that they were absolutely impossible, she didn't have a good impression of herself in her heart.But when Bai Xizhi heard that the wedding was postponed, he was still a little excited. After all, it would be in May of the next year, just after Chunwei.Bai Xizhi thought, even if she had no destiny in this life, it would be like letting her remember that there is such a person as herself.

With this thought in mind, Bai Xizhi began to study harder than before. It is said that he didn't even attend the literature meeting of talented scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lin Lan's grades have not changed since he topped the Guozijian list, but slowly, it is not as easy as before. Baixizhi's rapid progress made Li Shouzhong and others see hope, and even many gentlemen of the Guozijian, privately Take the time to teach him carefully.It seemed that only when he beat Lin Lan could they feel elated.

Because after each monthly exam, the top ten test papers and results are sent to the palace, so in terms of nouns, Li Shouzhong didn't dare to do anything even if he didn't like Lin Lan who was the sole leader of his daughter's family.

Because Lin Lan's grades surpassed those of all talented scholars in the north and south, the girls in Beijing and Middle School were very interested in studying. I heard from Jia Yue that Zhen Shiyin founded a girls' school because he didn't want to bury his daughter's talent. Wealthy but humble women study, and there are quite a few women who go to school.

So gradually a second school was established, and even heard that Jiangnan was planning to set up a women's school comparable to Bailu Academy, which made Lin Lan very happy to hear that.Because of these, she feels that reading is a kind of happiness.

"It's a pity, I can't continue to study with everyone!" Princess He Xin was wearing a wedding dress, looking at Lin Lan and the classmates who added makeup, feeling a little pity in his heart. It's a pity that brother Hu didn't appear on the beauty list. It's a pity I can't keep pressing Jia Zhu down.She had never thought before that the girl could still study and do so many things. When she thought about her father and brothers, who had already recruited her future in-laws and elder brother Hu, would she continue to work on the monthly magazine after marriage? My heart became even more excited.

Lin Lan really likes Princess He Xin, this little girl is innocent and has a deep love for Jia Hu, and she only hopes that Jia Hu will not wrong her.But then he thought of Jia Hu's character, and thought of Prince Fu's Mansion behind Princess Hexin, and he felt relieved.

The eldest son of Rong Guobo Mansion finally got married, and Jia She happily invited the guests. Although the emperor still did not forgive him, his attitude towards him was much more relaxed than at the beginning. He personally went to find Wang Ziteng, asked for the sea drawings privately kept by the Wang family, and sent them up together with many old people who had been to sea, and was specially received by the emperor, so he was very excited.

Although Jia Min couldn't come back in Yangzhou, she sent someone to send congratulatory gifts early on. Daiyu was also taken to Rongguo Mansion several days before the wedding, and met Jia Baoyu again in women's clothing.

"Sister Lin!" After a few days, Jia Baoyu knew that the fierce and beautiful girl who was sent to the front yard was the cousin of the aunt's family.Originally, I was a little unhappy, but when I thought about Lin Daiyu's appearance, I felt very familiar with her whole body.What's more, the uncle also said that if it wasn't for the sister of the Lin family, if he was caught by others, he might not be able to survive. He knew in his heart that he had misunderstood sister Lin, and she was a kind girl.

Lin Daiyu really doesn't hate Jia Baoyu, but she also knows that she should not have any interaction with such a person, so she can only nod politely, and then goes up to Jia Shishi to be affectionate: "I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time. Yes, Yu'er misses her so much."

"You monkey still know how to miss me? Why don't you come to see me?" Seeing Daiyu getting close to him, Jia Shishi was in a good mood, and didn't notice that after Lin Daiyu opened her mouth, Jia Shi became dumbfounded. precious jade.

Lin Daiyu snuggled up beside Jia Shishi, and said with a charming smile: "Yu'er also wants to be by her grandmother's side, not to mention anything else, just to be a filial piety for her mother, and to show her merits when she sees her in the future! Busy, because of my aunt, so Yu'er dare not slack off in the slightest, just to embarrass the family."

"Your aunt is lucky!" Jia Shishi didn't seem to mention Lin Lan. After all, compared with her, Jia Yuanchun, who had been carefully raised and put in great hopes, is still just a nobleman in the side hall of Fengzao Palace. Even if she is favored, she is far inferior to that dead girl Baoqin, which is really disappointing.

Lin Lan lowered her head and did not refute Jia Shishi's words, but she thought in her heart that compared to her aunt, the crown prince was really lucky, and he wanted to marry such a good aunt.

Jia Baoyu stared blankly at Lin Daiyu. He couldn't figure out why sister Lin's voice was so similar to brother Ming's.It is exactly the same.And looking at Sister Lin, he seemed to see Brother Ming.Although I saw Sister Lin before when I was offering sacrifices to heaven, I didn't pay attention to her voice. I just felt very puzzled when I heard it today.

"Sister Lin, I know a little brother whose voice is exactly the same as yours!" Jia Baoyu suddenly said between Lin Daiyu and Jia Shishi.

Jia Shishi saw that Jia Baoyu was so kind to Daiyu, and also saw Daiyu and him standing together like a golden boy and a jade girl, and felt that they matched even more, so he watched them talking cheerfully.

The nuns behind Lin Daiyu understood Jia Shishi's intentions, and their expressions were a little bad!Lin Daiyu sighed in her heart, and knew that he was talking about herself, but it was absolutely unrecognizable, so she turned her head and said a little unhappy: "What a stinky man, why are you comparing me to my cousin? I don't want it !"

"Okay, okay, Baoyu don't talk anymore! Daiyu don't be angry either. Your second elder brother Bao is playing with you!" Seeing this, Jia Shishi hugged Lin Daiyu in his arms and comforted her.

Jia Baoyu felt a little wronged in his heart, but seeing that sister Lin was angry and ignored him, in the end he didn't say anything anymore, just looking at her delicate face, he had some hope in his heart, if sister Lin could always be by his side, he would live forever. It will be fine when they get home, when they will play and write poems all day, they will be very happy!

Seeing Jia Baoyu beaming with joy like a child, Lin Daiyu didn't understand, did grandma really like him?

Finding an excuse, Lin Daiyu pulled Jia Tanchun, saying that she was going to Rongxi Hall to find her second and fourth sisters.Jia Baoyu still wanted to follow, but Lin Daiyu turned her head and made a grimace, and said while running: "Our daughter's family wants to whisper something, so I don't want you, a stinky man, to follow!"

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu wanted to follow, but Jia Shishi saw the nuns behind Lin Daiyu, stopped him, hugged him in his arms, and said softly, "Why do you like Miss Lin so much?"

"It's just so strange. Although I've only met Sister Lin twice, she seems to have met her somewhere. How familiar is she? It's like an old acquaintance." Jia Baoyu leaned on the old lady and said with a smile, "Say It's also strange, I met Sister Lin last night, even though I don't know her, I'm very happy in my heart, it's really strange."

When Jia Shishi heard the words, she couldn't help feeling that there was a predestined relationship between them. Daiyu was born as beautiful as a flower bone, and Baoyu was very handsome and good-looking. It makes people feel that they are a pair in their hearts, and they can't bear to take them apart.

Because of Jia Shishi's connivance, Jia Baoyu always wanted to go to Lin Daiyu during the time when he was in Jia She's house, Lin Daiyu saw that he was so innocent, she couldn't help stopping him and said: "Why does my cousin always follow me?"

"Sister, I..." Seeing Lin Daiyu talking to him, Jia Baoyu was overjoyed, and wanted to express his joy with a beaming smile.

Lin Daiyu sighed, suppressing the sudden hurt, dabbed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looked at Jia Baoyu seriously and said: "My cousin is not young now, why are you so naive? You like me, so you think about it." Haunt me as you wish, but do you know if I am willing to be entangled by you?"

"Sister Lin, I...you...I..." Jia Baoyu was at a loss when he heard this, not knowing what to say.I just felt that my heart seemed to be strangled by someone, and my breathing was a little uncomfortable.

Lin Daiyu stared at him blankly, and inexplicable tears fell down one by one!

"Sister, don't cry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I... I... I said the wrong thing, I beg you to go around me! If you don't want to see me again, you will definitely die in the future." Hide away! Really, I promise, if I really lie to you, tomorrow I will fall into the pool, and I will be swallowed by a scoundrel, and I will become a big bastard..." Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu suddenly After crying, the pain in my heart suddenly stopped, and I thought that Sister Lin didn't hate me as much as she did on the surface, so she hurriedly coaxed.

Lin Daiyu laughed through tears, couldn't help snorting, rubbed her eyes and said with a smile: "Where in the world is there such a big turtle that can eat people, you are talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, Sister Lin, you don't know, I have a lot of books that I can read by eye, maybe I just don't know where I read it. There are so many strange things in the world, there must be such a man-eating turtle ” Asking Baoyu to see Lin Daiyu smile, he also became happy.

Seeing him like this, Lin Daiyu felt sad again, straightened her face, and said, "Second Brother Bao, change it!"

"..." Jia Baoyu was silent, he understood Lin Daiyu's words surprisingly.

Lin Daiyu listened to the uproar on the stage in the distance, because Big Brother Hu's wedding was the top priority in the Rongguo Mansion, so early on, the eldest uncle asked people to invite a dozen young actors to be at home, just for the excitement on the wedding day.Hearing vaguely the melodious tunes of those girls, Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Baoyu and said seriously: "Second Brother Bao, this world is not as difficult as you think. Zai, but you can't stay in the inner house all day, hang out with your daughter's family all day long."

"Second brother Bao, we live in this world. Maybe there are thousands of unsatisfactory things, but there are always joyful things in life, and there are always people and things that we want to cherish and protect. We can't just let others protect us. I just hid in this comfortable nest and was leisurely all day long! Everyone has something they want to protect, I have it, and I think you have it too, so, change it!" Lin Daiyu didn't believe that Jia Baoyu didn't notice it at all, and didn't like it. Whether you like it or not, but when you don't have enough ability to change, how can you talk about liking or disliking it?

Jia Baoyu was in a daze, looked at Lin Daiyu, sighed faintly, and said with tears: "My good sister, I know you understand me. I have never told anyone about my thoughts. I know what people outside say about me." .They say I’m a worthless dim sum who can only harm people. They say I’m greedy for money and lust and only hide among the women to live. They say I’m a silver pewter gun head, which looks good but doesn’t work!”

"I know all of this! Today I'll just tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I really feel that living is tiring! Sometimes I often think, if I knew this earlier, it would be better to die. I have been dead for a long time without these troubles!" As Jia Baoyu was talking, he bowed his head and began to cry, tears streaming down the psychic gem on his chest, when he saw the psychic gem, he pulled it off, smashed it to the ground, and said angrily, "Since you asked me to come here In the world, how can you give me something that no one else has?"

"Everyone doesn't have it, I was born with it, the sisters in my family don't have it, the younger sister of the Shi family doesn't have it, and now there's no younger sister Lin who is a celestial being! They say I was born with jade, and I was born extraordinary... But what is it? What's the use of it!" He said frantically stepping on the psychic gem on the ground, chanting and cursing incessantly.

Lin Daiyu was so frightened that she took several steps back. She felt that the person in front of her was just like the crazy person in the book that her aunt said. Could it be that she really misread it?Jia Baoyu is so unbearable?

"Oh! My ancestor! What are you doing? It's just that you're unhappy, so why bother to vent your anger on this treasure?" Jia Baoyu's personal girl, Xiren, heard that Baoyu was missing, and thought of him always chanting these two days. Seeing such a situation, she couldn't help but said to Lin Daiyu: "Why bother to make trouble with him, Miss Lin, this is a crazy person..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Nanny Ji came over, pulled Lin Daiyu back, turned her head to look at Xiren and Jia Baoyu in disgust, and said, "If you can't control your madness, don't come out to scare people!"

After speaking, he dragged Lin Daiyu away, leaving Jia Baoyu to stare at Lin Daiyu's back, tears rolling down again.

Lin Daiyu said as she walked, "Thank you Mammy!" She said what was in her heart, whether she listened or not was out of her control. She hoped that Brother Bao would change, but she felt that if he changed, he would not be him. How do you get out after going in?

"I watched the girl grow up, and I also know that the girl is soft-hearted. Seeing that she has to make peace, then Jia Baoyu is not a villain, otherwise she would not be able to live now. But, girl, this old slave said something heartfelt, since you have already I understand the path I want to take, and I also know that my behavior is not just your own business, but also working hard for the sake of others, how can it fall into other people's arrangements?" Mother Ji didn't want Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu to be alone at first, But I also know that this girl is kind-hearted, and if I don't mention it like this, I always have something in my heart, so I indulged in this once, but it happened to be arranged by a girl, and she couldn't stand it.

Lin Daiyu looked at the petals falling from the book in front of her. Seeing the falling flowers now, she no longer felt the sadness she felt when she was a child. My aunt was right. Flowers bloom and fail, and they are always reincarnated in the world. They are too intrusive. How can they go well? End this life?He stopped, turned his head to look at Nanny Ji, and assured him earnestly: "Don't worry, Mammy, Yu'er will definitely abide by the rules in the future and will not do anything that shames the family. It's just... it's just Bao... Cousin Jia Baoyu, look at him Treating me like Chicheng, I can't bear to let him be confused. It's not easy to live in this world, and I live in my own world all day. What's the point of being confused? I'll just say this once, whether you listen or not, it's his Things. But if I don’t talk about it, I will never live in peace in this life.”

Nanny Ji conveyed what Lin Daiyu had said to Jia Lan. Jia Lan knew that Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Baoyu differently from others, but now that she could say such words, the things she was worried about would never happen. I couldn't help being overjoyed, for her, for the Lin family...

The author has something to say: Sister Lin feels that I have written it without fairy spirit...
