The Second Young Master of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Three of the four maids sent by Jia's family to pay their respects were old people who had been with Jia's mother, so they naturally knew what she was most concerned about. They asked about everything about Jia Min and Lin Daiyu, and asked them clearly.But the one from Zhou Rui's family was Mrs. Wang's accompanying room, so her focus was a little different from everyone else's. She only paid attention to Lin Yu and his baby brother from the beginning to the end, which obviously had another purpose.

Not long afterward, they returned to the capital with the gift of thanks from Jia Min. When there was no one around, Mrs. Wang called Zhou Rui's family to her room and asked her carefully about what she had seen and heard in Yangzhou.Zhou Rui's family didn't dare to hide anything, so they explained everything clearly, which made Mrs. Wang frown.

Jia Min had no children for many years after marriage, Mother Jia was very anxious, and secretly asked people to inquire about the remedies for seeking a child, but Mrs. Wang was secretly happy.Her sister-in-law was better than her in everything since she was young, and after she married into the Jia family, she was not very close to her. Seeing that she was not as good as him in one thing, I couldn't help feeling a little angry in my heart, but on the surface , she still pretended to be very worried.In the spring of last year, Jia Min had a daughter with great difficulty. Before Jia's mother could say that it would bloom first and then bear fruit, she knew that her daughter might not be born again.

At that time, Mrs. Wang's youngest son, Jia Baoyu, was not yet one year old, and Jia's mother faintly revealed the idea of ​​wanting to kiss him.As an old man, the greatest wish is to have a happy family and a prosperous life, and Jia's mother, as the wife of the Duke of Chaopin, is no exception.From her point of view, no matter what Daiyu's background is, having no brothers is the biggest flaw. No matter which family she marries into in the future, she may be bullied. The uncle's family is different and will definitely protect her.Besides, how good her Baoyu is, she is smart and intelligent, and the marriage between her cousin and sister is really perfect.

Although Mrs. Wang didn't like Jia Min, she didn't show any objection. She was interested in the wealth of the Lin family and Lin Ruhai's status as a third-rank official.Jia Zheng was not born in the imperial examination, but Jia Daishan passed the posthumous copy before his death, and asked him for a six-rank official position. Unexpectedly, after more than ten years of busy work, he was only promoted by half a rank, which caused her canonization to be still An order, not an order.Mrs. Wang has always boasted of her family background, and she is superior to Jia She's stepmother, Mrs. Xing. Only in the matter of imperial orders, the two are not on the same level at all.

If she could get married with the Lin family, the old lady would tell her daughter that without her asking, if Lin Ruhai would help, Jia Zheng's official position might be promoted.Therefore, Mrs. Wang has an attitude of neither supporting nor opposing what Jiamu has in mind.

But who would have thought that not long after Lin Daiyu turned one year old, Jia Min wrote to say that the Lin family had two sons in one go.Mother Jia, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were all shocked when they heard the news. Only after reading the letter did they know that Jia Min's two sons were born to concubines.

As the wife of the main family, although she would not care about concubines, so as not to lower her status, she has a natural sense of repulsion towards the sons and daughters of the concubines.Jia's mother is considered powerful, but she can't stand that Jia Daishan has three concubine daughters. Fortunately, her two sons, Jia She and Jia Zheng, are both born to her.

But her seemingly absurd eldest son, Jia She, when his original wife, Mrs. Zhang, was there, except for the four dowry maids she brought, one of them opened his face. It can be said that it was very quiet, and there were no sons and daughters. The concubine Yingchun and the concubine Jia Cong of the second room were born many years after Mrs. Zhang passed away.Mrs. Xing's appearance is not bad, but it's a pity that she came from a humble background and her methods are not as good as others. Naturally, she can't control Yingying and Yanyan in Jia's amnesty courtyard. Mrs. Wang is with her.

Jia Zheng looked serious on the outside, but the servants in the room were no less than Jia She, that is to say, Mrs. Wang was very skilled, and the only two brothers and sisters Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun were born in the second room for many years.The year before last, Mrs. Wang gave birth to a bead from an old clam, and gave birth to Jia Baoyu, a baby bump. After all, she was getting older. Mrs. Wang's energy was obviously not as good as before, and she barely recovered after confinement.Then Jia Zheng came out with a surprise for her. His concubine, Aunt Zhao, was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter in March of the following year. She was nicknamed Tanchun and raised her by Jia's mother.

That's not all, this summer, Aunt Zhao's belly is bulging again, and she is about to give birth after the new year.Mrs. Wang is no more open-minded than Jia Min. She can let the pregnant aunt rest at ease, and she still has to serve her every day, which can be said to be bothersome and obstruct her eyes.

"If you go back to your wife, the two elder brothers of my aunt's family are very good-looking." Zhou Rui's family subconsciously erased the embarrassment of admitting the wrong person, but the two children are only half a month apart, and the appearance alone is enough It is indeed difficult to distinguish.

"They are really good? Are you not mistaken?" If Jia Min had sons before, Mrs. Wang would definitely gloat if she had two sons. Unfortunately, the Lin family is in short supply of sons. , it's too late for Jia Min to be happy.

"It can't be wrong, I can see clearly, the two brothers are both white and fat, and they can call people." August can speak, stronger than their second master Jiabao, Zhou Rui's family is deeply impressed, " On the other hand, the sister who was born to my aunt looks a bit weak."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang frowned slightly.Earlier, Mother Jia wanted to marry the Lin family. She didn't know about her niece's situation, and thought that she was an only daughter, and at least [-]% of the family property could be used as a dowry, so she didn't express any opinions. Now that I think about it, it is very inappropriate.

The Lin family has four generations of princes and four generations of single heirs. Although the family business is rich, but the two sons are smart and strong, so they must inherit it naturally. If the old lady talks about it again in the future, she will try to refuse it, otherwise the marriage will become a real trouble, and it will be troublesome.

Thousands of miles away in Yangzhou, Lin Yu is looking forward to the first New Year in ancient times. He doesn't know Mrs. Wang's whimsy. If he knows, he will only say to her, "Second Aunt, you think too much. Whoever my sister marries, she will not marry your stone."

Lin Yu is a Chinese student, and has read a lot of ancient novels and folklore studies.However, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu do not meet this point. Like the original book, Lin Daiyu's parents died, and she had no brothers. .It was Jia Min who agreed to Mu Shiqianyuan for Jia Mu's face, and from the perspective of prenatal and postnatal care, he would try to mess up this marriage.

In the previous life, Lin Yu grew up in the countryside. The atmosphere of the New Year in the countryside is much stronger than that in the city. Children from ten miles and eight villages gather together and can play any tricks.Now in ancient times, there are window grilles and couplets pasted at the door, and there are red lanterns hanging on the eaves. It is very happy to see it. Lin Yu likes those lanterns. , See you and call again.Seeing that he really liked him, Jia Min asked someone to tie a few small lanterns out, and the three siblings each carried two.

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and the family of five sat together for a reunion dinner.Of course, Daiyu's nanny was there to serve her, and Lin Yu and her baby brother were even hugged by the nanny.Others may be well-informed and have calm expressions. Only Lin Yu, who has never seen the world, can't move his eyes when he sees the delicious food on the table, and keeps calling "meat meat" and "fish fish", The conductor made Madam Tong very busy.Under his influence, the milk baby also wants to try everything, but Daiyu is more restrained, basically only drinking clear soup and eating vegetarian dishes.

But with Lin Yu, a snack foodie, taking the lead, it goes without saying that everyone ate more than usual during the reunion dinner.Lin Ruhai observed her daughter secretly, and whispered to Jia Min, "Ma'am, look at our Yu'er, does she look better?"

Jia Min covered her lips and smiled and said, "That's natural. Since the eldest brother and the second brother added supplementary food, the three children all eat it together. This affects each other. They can eat more, but they will grow up slowly. , Yu'er and eldest brother haven't taken much medicine for the past two months."

"That's good, that's good." Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled. He already had an idea of ​​the names of his two sons, and he would announce them when they were one year old. There is nothing to worry about.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Lin Yu was dug out of the bed by Nanny Tong before she woke up, and the baby was also crying beside her, making Nanny Fang very anxious, the first day of the new year I just started crying, big brother, does this mean you have to cry all year long?

Fortunately, there was nothing Lin Yu needed to do, so he was half asleep and half awake, and asked to be adjusted. When he woke up, he was shocked.Nanny Tong and Nanny Fang have discussed it. They actually dressed him and Brother Naiwawa as two big red envelopes. It's really an exaggeration.

"Brother, when you get to the main room later, you must remember to say auspicious words." The nanny urged.

When I arrived at the main room of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, I saw that the couple were dressed very happily, and Lin Daiyu was on the same level as them. She wore a bright red jacket on her upper body, a bright red skirt on her lower body, her hair was combed into two small bags, and she wore a red ribbon. There are no beaded flowers, but two small red lanterns are hung separately. As long as she speaks or shakes her head, she will shake slightly, which makes her face white and tender like jade, delicate and cute.

Seeing that sister Fairy was being treated the same as him, Lin Yu stopped protesting, and obediently asked the nanny to help her stand on the ground.In fact, he could stand firmly even without help, but he was still not good at walking, his legs became weak as soon as he took a step, and he fell down because of his top-heavy body.

New Year's greetings come in order of age, starting from Lin Daiyu, she is one year older, not only articulate, but also full of idioms, and Lin Ruhai can't stop nodding when she speaks clearly.The milk doll is much simpler, just say "Congratulations to the New Year".

Lin Yu didn't even think about it, so he subconsciously answered, "Bring the red envelope", and then he reacted and froze in place.
