[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Talking at both ends, she said that Jia's mother was very annoyed by Lin Ruhai's continuation of strings, she was the last thing she wanted Lin Ruhai to marry a wife, and she wanted Daiyu to be the only one in the Lin family, so that she could bring her huge dowry and the wealth and connections behind her back Marry Baoyu.And Lin Ruhai continued, the person who came out of someone else's stomach, not to mention the thinning of Daiyu's dowry, made her have even less right to speak.

But before the marriage between Lin Ruhai and the Sun family was finalized, the Lin family did not notify Jia Mu.After getting engaged, in late September, Lin Ruhai took Daiyu to Jia's mansion to inform her.At that time, Mother Jia pretended to call Min'er a few times, which made Lin Ruhai feel uncomfortable.

Mother Jia wanted to keep Lin Daiyu to live in the Rong Mansion, but Lin Ruhai said: "Yu'er is getting bigger and bigger, I am afraid that my son-in-law will make a marriage for her in the next year, and the only daughter under my son-in-law's knees. Also keep her by your side to share the family relationship."

When Jia's mother heard what he meant, of course she once again stated that she would not marry the Jia family, and she was depressed in her heart.

Mother Jia could cry to Jia She and wanted to go back to Jinling, but she couldn't do the same to Lin Ruhai. There was a difference between son-in-law and son-in-law, and Lin Ruhai was not like Jia She who had no future.Seeing the woman cried, made troubles and hanged himself three times, and then became more divorced from Jia's mansion, but Jia's mansion lost the most favorable backer, and his official position was higher than that of Prince Teng.

The two sides can only keep their faces intact, but they both know it well.After all, Lin Ruhai's favorite woman is Jia Min, and her favorite daughter is Jia's niece, so she has to save some face for Jia's mother, and ask Daiyu to make up some gifts for Jia's mother after returning home.

Daiyu has affection for Jiamu, but she mentions Baoyu as soon as she sees her, which makes her very afraid.

Daiyu is most afraid that she will become a Cui Yingying who is not self-respecting and will be despised by others. She can only suppress her desire to be filial to Jiamu.

The most important thing now is to take care of the house well before daddy marries a new wife, but Daiyu, who has always been unyielding, regards this "mundane task" as "knowledge and technology".This is what Xing Xiuyan said, the difficulty of learning in common affairs is huge.

……

This day has come to October [-]th, and in three days Lin Ruhai will marry his new wife, Mrs. Sun, and Daiyu, the female CEO, is extremely busy.

In addition to preparing for her father's wedding, she is also in charge of the harvest of the Zhuangzi in the mansion. Now it is time to sell the grain and pay the rent after the autumn harvest, including some Zhuangzi still in the south of the Yangtze River, or the new Zhuangzi in Beijing. She is calculating the income from the tax-free fields that the undergraduates can enjoy.

At the beginning, Lin Daiyu, who has always been a master of arts and sciences, found those wonderful math problems given by Xing Xiuyan to be novel. Therefore, she became a master of arithmetic and "combined interestingly" for her father's housekeeping and learning.Daiyu likes double-entry accounting of income and expenditure, and the feeling of seamlessness at the end is like writing a poem and writing an excellent poem, and she can enjoy the feeling of artistic conception.If it is in modern times, Daiyu, the president of Hao Xueba, may become a little obsessive-compulsive because of his love of learning. The numbers after income and expenditure must match up to be perfect and comfortable.

Last year, she and Xing Xiuyan were still in the south of the Yangtze River, and they lived in the village for a while. Daiyu knew the yield per mu and growth period of basic crops, and common sense of meteorological science.She is not an ignorant person, so it is difficult for the servants in charge to deceive her.

How much output per mu of land, how much the tenants get, how much the head of the village, how much rent the Lin family collected, how much wasted, the former is equal to the sum of the latter four, equal and perfect.

A loss of [-]-[-]%?Hail in September?Is it still a loss to rent my Lin family's fields?My Lin family is still raised by slaves?I read a lot, how dare you lie to me?Are you looking down on me?

Of course, Daiyu is not a strict person, but when she wants to reward, it is clear that what she gives belongs to them, and if she does not give it to others, she cannot take it randomly, otherwise she will drive them away.

In Xing Xiuyan's words, this kind of person who dares to take whatever they can can live anywhere, and there is no need for her, Lin Daiyu, to be merciful and use the Lin family's small temple to keep this kind of big Buddha.

Lin Ruhai has already asked for "marriage leave", and now there are no outsiders in the family, so I found Kong Daiyu to poster Lin Ru with the details of the income and accounting. ,Emotion.

Lin Ruhai also knew that the days of father and daughter living together were numbered, not to mention marrying a bride, after marrying a bride, they had to find a family for Daiyu.It was as if his heart had been torn apart.

At this time, the eunuch in the palace suddenly brought down the imperial decree and rewards, and hurriedly ordered people to set up an incense table, and he took a bath and changed into an official robe to receive the decree.

Because Lin Ruhai was about to get married, and this year he was exempted from working in the household department, the imperial edict rewarded Lin Ruhai.

But at the end, I heard the eunuch Huangmen read out: "'The eldest daughter is talented, gentle and filial, she is a model of the boudoir, and she is named 'Heyu County Lord'."

Lin Ruhai was taken aback. In this dynasty, there were very few women who were conferred on women other than the imperial clan. In the 40 years since his reign, the emperor had conferred two titles.The most important thing is that today, Princess Nine is named "Princess Hede Chang" and Lin Daiyu is named "Lord of Heyu County".

Lin Ruhai knew that she had to continue her marriage so that she could be rewarded during non-holidays and festivities, and she also named her daughter.

He couldn't help thinking: This sage is very handy in handling the affairs of state, and he used to kill people without blinking an eye, but it was not Ming Jun's doing to deal with the imperial concubine Chen.He couldn't help worrying that this master would be a king like Tang Minghuang in the future. In the past, the great Tang Dynasty was powerful all over the world, and Tang Minghuang created the Kaiyuan prosperity, but it was because of Concubine Yang that he lost his fortune at the end of the festival.He originally wanted to be a pure minister, but since Concubine Chen entered the palace, he inevitably had a different relationship. The emperor wanted him to be the concubine Chen's backer outside the court, could he still refuse?Besides, when Concubine Chen lived in the Lin Mansion, although she saw that Concubine Chen's behavior was different from that of other ladies, her relationship with Daiyu was not fake at all.

After receiving the decree, the eunuch of the capital sent a box and said: "This is the snow ginseng Yangrong pill that the foreigner Korea just paid tribute to. Lord Lin's holy family is generous, and the Holy One specially rewarded Lord Lin with four pills."

Lin Ruhai respectfully took it, but when he received the box, he couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, it was the same as the box when he was given the elixir for detoxification and health.

But Daiyu took out two red horses called 'Yuehua Qingyanluo' from a box of precious palace brocade specially given by Concubine Chen, and sighed: "Elder sister, this gift is too heavy."

Daiyu didn't know the preciousness of this material before, even the saint's own daughter would not be able to use it, or she had seen this rare material used in the Jiji dress sent from the palace during the imperial concubine's Jiji ceremony.It is said that the land of Shu pays tribute and only gets ten horses every year.

Lin Ruhai looked at those expensive fabrics, tasted them, and said, "The imperial concubine gave you a wedding dress in the future."

Daiyu couldn't help blushing, she lowered her head and put it back, busy people came to tidy it up carefully and arrange it for storage.Seeing that her daughter was shy, Lin Ruhai stopped her on purpose, picked out the things used by the female family members and sent them to her daughter's yard.

Lin Ruhai's heart was sour, his daughter would be old next year, but he didn't know whether his daughter was still around at this time next year, and he would marry a bride in a few days, after that, the affairs of the family would be different from the present father and daughter.

Thinking of it this way, his blood surged up, he must always obtain an irreplaceable position in the court, so that the teacher's career can be prosperous, so that Daiyu can be kept.

Lin Ruhai ordered the attendants to prepare the sedan chair, while the nuns brought Daiyu to replace the county-level make-up sent by them.After that, the two went to kowtow to thank you outside the Tai Chi Palace.

Originally, it was because it was winter. First, Lin Ruhai wanted to renew his strings, and second, as soon as the new year was over, Daiyu had to prepare for the wedding ceremony. Of course Xing Xiuyan was thinking about it. The "heroine" some face.

At this time, the Shi family took it as a matter of course. At the same time, they named Shi Hui the "Lord of Hemin County" and rewarded her with a box of precious materials for making Jiji gowns or wedding dresses. flattered.

After receiving the decree, Shi Hui was dazed and muttered: "I have become the county lord?"

Manfu was full of joy, Shi Bo would of course take his wife and children to Tai Chi Palace to kowtow to thank him, without going into details.

But at night, when the Shi family came back after kowtowing thanks, everyone had their own emotions.

Shi Rui was finally worried, and said: "I'm afraid it's a bit too much for the imperial concubine to be favored so much, and I'm afraid that she will be so prosperous..."

Of course he understood that the reason why his younger sister was able to become the county monarch was because of Concubine Chen.These sisters are all canonized, why does it look like "history repeating itself" to him?In the Tang Dynasty, the three sisters of Concubine Yang Guifei were all named "Madame". Is the saint going to faint?

After all, Shizhang loved his daughter eagerly, so he hurriedly said: "Hey, how can you say those unlucky words? The empress has always known how to advance and retreat. Our family has some relationship with the empress, but we are not that arrogant family, so we will not drag the empress. The hind legs. The empress is at a young age, and she is in harmony with the sage, so it will naturally last for a long time. Speaking of you, you are not too young. It is a matter of marriage, the order of your parents, and the words of the matchmaker. You are so resistant to marriage, but We're still waiting to have grandchildren."

Shi Rui bowed his head, remained silent for a while, and then said: "My child also wants to marry a wife who is virtuous and intelligent, who is harmonious, just like a father and mother. A good wife is better at raising children and grandchildren."

Shi Zhang said: "I would like to bite the bullet and tell you about Daiyu, but you said that there is only brother and sister love. How can this elder brother marry a righteous sister?"

Lin Daiyu is Shi Hui's righteous sister, so she naturally became Shi Rui's righteous sister.

Shi Ruidao: "Father and mother allow me some time, I just want to be cautious in marrying a wife. If the second brother goes well in Qiuwei, it's time for him to go to Beijing next year, and the younger sister will also be married in May next year. It's not what I want by then. If so, it will be up to the mother to make the decision, and we must not delay the second brother and younger sister."

When Shi Hui heard about her marriage, she covered her face and ran out, but Shi Bai was worried about her youngest son's scientific examination.Shi Cong is already in Qiuwei, Fujian, waiting for the announcement.But the three brothers of the Shi family are all Jinshi, and Shi Rui is also a young Jinshi. If Shi Cong fails the local examination, he will have to study in West Lake Academy for a few more years.

This year, the elder brother Shi Song's eldest son, Shi Li, took the provincial examination for the second time. Shi Li is already over [-] years old, so Shi Rui is the first among the younger generation to achieve success as a young man.

Naturally, the Xing family also received a reward, and Xing Zhong received a vain title of a third-rank manager, and made Xing Li's family a third-rank Shuren.Among the rewards, there are new and strange things brought in tribute from various countries, as well as rare decorative utensils and so on.

Among them, ten snow ginseng Yangrong pills were rewarded for them to take care of their bodies, but Tu Yuanyi didn't dare to add anything to Xing Zhong's pills.Their background knowledge makes him worry, and Xing Zhong and his wife have no serious physical problems, they are just recuperating and wanting to have a son.

It can be seen from the long favors given to the three families by the sage who was known as being mean and ungrateful in the past, the sage's love for Concubine Chen is in full swing, and because of this, everyone in the back house of the court and eunuchs knows about it.
