The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

"I shouldn't bring up the theory, but a letter from my husband's mother-in-law a few days ago mentioned the death of cousin Cheng's original spouse. I often hear my husband mention cousin Cheng, saying that he is very knowledgeable and will be able to go to high school in the future. Although Sister Yingchun is the step-wife, but the former spouse did not leave any sons and half daughters behind, life will be easier after marrying, Cousin Cheng is a benevolent gentleman, and he will not treat Sister Yingchun lightly." Gu Fulan said.

Gu Fulan was also afraid that Jia Min would be overwhelmed. Jia Min had a long history of sophistication, so how could Gu Fulan's carelessness be hidden from her?

She smiled, took Gu Fulan's hand, and said in relief, "I know you have good intentions."

Gu Fulan smiled and said nothing.

Jia Min pondered, "It's better not to be late for this kind of matter. I'll go to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow."

What to do is self-evident.

"Madam, the Rongguo Mansion has a high family status, so will you look down on Cousin Cheng?" Gu Fulan became worried again when she heard that Jia Min was going to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow.

Although the Luo family has some reputation in Gusu, it is only in the area of ​​Gusu.After all, the Rongguo Mansion is the mansion of the Duke of the State. In comparison, these two families are not in the same class at all.

If Luo Wencheng passed the Juren examination, the gap in family status can be smoothed out. After all, the Juren who is not as weak as the crown, high school is a matter of time.

The provincial examination is held every three years, and the last provincial examination was two years ago. Luo Wencheng felt that his accumulation was not enough, so he did not take the previous provincial examination, and the next provincial examination will be next year...

Luo Wencheng, who is just a scholar, is still a little short of wanting to marry a girl from the Duke's mansion.

Jia Min smiled and said, "It's okay, although Luo's family is not the family of Zhong Ding, they are also a scholarly family, and they are quite famous in Gusu. The daughter of a first-class general is still a concubine. With her conditions, it is natural to find a well-matched family, but she can only fill in people's houses. Yingchun's personality is not suitable for noble families. When she was in Yangzhou that day, Wen Cheng lived in our house for a while, I know his temperament, if Yingchun marries him, life will be easy."

Gu Fulan was similar to what Jia Min thought.

But just in case the Jia family didn't think so, when Lin Yao went out today, she told her not to talk too much in front of the wife, but to mention it a little bit.

Gu Fulan inevitably murmured in her heart, but she couldn't ask clearly, so she could only keep it in her heart.

Seeing that Gu Fulan didn't speak, Jia Min patted her hand and said, "I'll make peace with you, you just pretend you don't know."

Gu Fulan blushed, "That's not what I meant."

"I know you are kind, but you and Yao'er are still newly married. You'd better not get involved in this matter. If you go there as a guest, don't let it slip. This matter has nothing to do with you. Remember Already?" Jia Min seriously exhorted.

When Gu Fulan heard this, she secretly became suspicious, why did Lin Yao and his wife tell her like this?

Although she was puzzled in her heart, Gu Fulan was not stupid enough to ask in person, she nodded obediently.

Jia Min coaxed Gu Fulan to go back to rest, and after Gu Fulan left, Jia Min sighed inwardly.

If Gu Fulan didn't mention it, Jia Min would almost forget about that old incident.

At that time, Lin Yao had just adopted into their family, and her mother was worried that Lin Yao would not be filial to her when she grew up, so she thought about promising Yingchun or Tanchun to Lin Yao, and marrying a girl from Jia's family. get close to her.

But Jia Min felt that something was wrong, and he didn't tell Lin Yao, so he rejected her mother.

After all, this matter didn't work out, Jia Min actually had nothing to be guilty of, it's just that now that Lin Yao has won the top prize in high school and married a wife, her life is peaceful and beautiful, compared to Spring Festival but not engaged, it's really shabby.

Although Jia Min didn't want Yingchun and Tanchun to be her daughters-in-law, they were her nieces and elder brothers' daughters after all. It would be a pity if she missed out on such a good youngster as Luo Wencheng.

The next day, Jia Min really went to Rongguo Mansion in person, and directly mentioned the matter to Jia Mu.

Jia's mother is not as shallow-sighted as Xing's. Hearing that she is Lin Yao's uncle's cousin, she is quite knowledgeable, so she moved her mind.

"Although Wen Cheng married a wife, his previous wife didn't have any sons and a half daughters, and Yingchun didn't need to be a stepmother when he married. If Wen Cheng gets a Jinshi in the future, with A Yao's relationship, A Yao will definitely Support him a little bit, and Yingchun will be an imperial wife at least in the future."

Mother Jia agrees with what Jia Min said.

"It's a good marriage." Mother Jia thought for a while and said, "I'll talk to your brother and sister-in-law later."

Both Yingchun's biological father and aunt were there. Although Yingchun was raised by her, she couldn't surpass her parents.

Jia Min said, "This is what it should be."

After talking with Jia's mother for a while, Jia Min left and went home.

After a few days, Jia's mother dispatched someone to tell Jia Min, and both Jia Amnesty and Xing agreed.

Jia Amnesty never cared about this concubine, since Jia's mother wanted to marry her, he let Jia's mother say that he had no objection.

As for Mrs. Xing, she has always had no face in front of Jia Mu. When Jia Mu called her to ask, she also let her wife decide.

Yingchun was not her own, and she herself was too lazy to make trouble for Yingchun. Now that the old lady is willing to take over this trouble, she is too happy, so how could she stop it?

In this way, the matter is half done.

Jia Min called Gu Fulan and told her the good news.

After hearing this, Gu Fulan immediately said, "When my husband comes back, I will tell him."

For the Luo family, Lin Yao naturally had to write to contact her.

So Lin Yao came back from the official office and heard about it from Gu Fulan.

"Rongguo Mansion agrees?" Lin Yao thought she would be rejected by Jia Amnesty.

Gu Fulan didn't understand, so she said, "I agree, Husband thinks Rongguo Mansion won't agree?"

"That's not true," Lin Yao shook her head, and said instead, "Since the Rongguo Mansion has agreed, I'll immediately write a letter and go to Gusu to tell my cousin about it."

Being able to get married with the Rongguo Mansion, the second uncle would not refuse such a good thing even if he thought about it.

Just do what you say, Lin Yao changed her clothes and went to the study to write a letter.

The next day, Lin Yao asked Ye He to post the letter.

Time passed quickly, and it was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

This year, because of Lin Yao's marriage to the Lin family, the Chinese New Year is naturally more lively than in previous years.

But after the Chinese New Year, Daiyu will get married, and this will be the last New Year Daiyu spends at the Lin family.

The dowry and so on have been saved over the years, the Lin family has only such a daughter, so it is natural that gold is precious.

Daiyu's wedding will be on the 28th of the first lunar month next year, and with all her plans, Daiyu can only stay at Lin's house for one month.

Years ago, the third prince, King Qi, had left the palace to build a mansion, and the mansion was on Main Street, very close to the palace.

After the new year, the Lin family began to get busy with Daiyu's marriage, because the wedding was just in the first month of the lunar year, and the time was pretty tight.

On the 28th day of the first lunar month, King Qi came to welcome his relatives. Logically speaking, no one dared to embarrass the prince.

But Lin Yao didn't care about these things, and directly blocked the man outside the Lin Mansion, blocking King Qi for nearly half an hour, forcing him to compose poems. It can only be said to be passable.

Lin Yao didn't make things too difficult for King Qi, and blocked him for half an hour before letting him in.

When going out, Daiyu was carried out by Lin Yao, who carried her all the way into the sedan chair.

After Daiyu sat down, Lin Yao's eyes were slightly hot, "Sister, although King Qi is a good person, many things in this world are unpredictable. If King Qi betrays you in the future, you must tell brother, don't be bored." Bear it in your heart, as long as your brother is around, he will always be your reliance."

Daiyu couldn't hold back her tears and opened her mouth to say something, but finally she only hummed.

She has always liked this brother very much. Although Lin Yao is not her brother and has no blood relationship at all, their brother and sister's relationship is better than that of some brothers and sisters with the same mother.

She always had a feeling that Lin Yao's appearance had changed her fate. This feeling came from nowhere, but it didn't prevent her from having a good impression of this brother.

Lin Yao was adopted into their family, and the one who accepted Lin Yao the fastest was not Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, but Daiyu.

Although Lin Ruhai was the one who made the decision to adopt, he hesitated for a long time before making this decision. After doing a lot of psychological work for himself, he decided to adopt.

Only Daiyu, from the time she knew about the adoption to meeting Lin Yao, it was only a month or two. She was worried until she was about to have an adopted brother.

It can be seen that from the first time she saw Lin Yao, she felt that this brother was very kind from the bottom of her heart.

Because of this, Daiyu was not attracted to Jia Baoyu who was familiar to her later on. Later, Lin Yao said that her mother and Baoyu's father were brothers and sisters of the same blood, perhaps because they looked a little similar, so she didn't take it to heart. up.

Over the years, my brother would give her anything delicious and fun, and even prepare some rare and expensive gifts for her every year on her birthday, and occasionally find strange reasons to give her gifts.

In her dowry, many valuable items were not given by her mother, but Lin Yao gave the most.

Especially after the wedding date was set, Lin Yao would give her presents every now and then.

After Lin Yao got married, Daiyu also told him in private, asking him to keep the gift for Gu Fulan.

Lin Yao said, hers is hers, and Gu Fulan's is Gu Fulan's, so she doesn't have to worry that Gu Fulan doesn't have it.

This brother has really been devoted to her since he was a child, and her heart is not made of stone, how can he not be moved?

Daiyu wanted to say a lot, but she couldn't get it out of her mouth, so she could only hold Lin Yao's hand tightly.

Lin Yao patted her hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, there is still brother at home, and I will take care of the master and wife. You just need to take care of yourself, come to brother when you encounter problems, and brother will definitely help you."

"Thank you brother." Daiyu looked at Lin Yao and suddenly smiled.

After her marriage was settled, the wife taught her how to deal with the inner house and balance the relationship between wives and concubines, and the master taught her not to be too demanding on the prince, but to do her job well.

Only her brother said that if she was wronged, she would tell him, don't bear it, and he would definitely help her.
