The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

When she heard that it was snowing, Gu Fulan felt a little regretful. She likes snow very much, but it is a pity that she rarely sees it once a year. This year it snowed, but she has to confine herself to confinement and cannot go out.

When he is out of confinement, where can he still see the shadow of snow?

Lin Yao's eldest son, Lin Chunsheng, was born on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, so within a few days, it was New Year's Eve.

Lin's mansion has added Ding, so everyone in the whole mansion is beaming with joy.

After the Chinese New Year, Daiyu came to see Lin Chun, and she fell in love with her, "You look so good-looking."

The baby has been born for half a month, and he is white and tender, very pleasing.

Gu Fulan laughed at her when she heard the words, "If you like it, work hard and give birth to one yourself?"

Daiyu was blushed by her.

After all, she was a married daughter, so Daiyu didn't stay at her mother's house for a long time, she talked to Gu Fulan for a while, then went to accompany Jia Min, and stayed at Lin's house for dinner before returning to the palace.

At the end of the first lunar month, Gu Fulan confinement.

Because when Lin Chun was born, it was just around the time of New Year's Eve, so there was no big ceremony, only the family had a meal, and the wine was not served until the full moon, and Gu Fulan happened to be able to attend together at this time.

In the evening, the child was asked by the nanny to take him to bed, and the couple had a farewell to newlyweds, and the quarrel lasted half the night.

After taking a bath, Gu Fulan leaned in Lin Yao's arms, and suddenly said, "I saw Tanchun today, and looking around, I don't look very good."

"Are you still thinking about protecting her media?"

Lin Yao was so funny, he didn't understand why Gu Fulan had so much to worry about.

Gu Fulan said, "Probably because I'm a mother, I can't bear to see Tan Chun wasting his youth."

Tanchun is a few months older than her, and she is already a mother, and Tanchun's marriage has not yet been settled, which is really sad.

Lin Yao said, "Aren't you afraid that Second Aunt will be unhappy?"

"What can she do to me if she's not happy?" Mrs. Wang is not Lin Yao's serious aunt. Gu Fulan actually doesn't pay much attention to this Mrs. Wang in her heart, but the two aunts on Lin Yao's mother's side, Gu Fulan is more concerned Be careful.

Lin Yao thought for a while and said, "Tanchun has been like this all the time, and it's really not a problem. If you want to help her, go and talk to your wife. It's best for your wife to come forward."

Even if the relationship between Jia Min and Mrs. Wang is not too close, Tanchun can be regarded as being raised by the old lady. As long as she tells the old lady, she is not afraid of Mrs. Wang's disapproval if she takes the old lady's face.

Gu Fulan nodded, "I'll check on my wife later."

The next day, when Lin Yao went to the Yamen, Gu Fulan went to talk to Jia Min about it.

Now that Jia Min is playing with his grandchildren, he is in a good mood every day. Hearing Gu Fulan's words suddenly, he can't help being stunned.

"Tanchun?"

Jia Min was puzzled, "She's so good, why do you want to protect her as a matchmaker?"

Gu Fulan then told about the two encounters with Tanchun.

"Also a poor child." Jia Min sighed.

Back then, she also betrothed to others early, and she came to Lin's family when she was over fifteen years old. Who would have thought that the next generation of Jia's family betrothed so late.

"My daughter-in-law also thinks that Sister Tanchun is quick-witted, and she is an excellent match with my sister-in-law's natal cousin." Gu Fulan said.

Jia Min was silent for a moment, then said, "Have you mentioned this matter to the Li family?"

A scholarly family like the Li family usually doesn't marry into the Xungui's family. I'm afraid that Gu Fulan's head is hot, and if there is a joke at that time, the two families will not look good.

Gu Fulan said, "Not yet, I just wanted to come over and ask my wife what she means."

Jia Min heard the words and said, "In a few days, you go back to your mother's house and mention it to your sister-in-law to see what she says. If there is no problem with the Li family, then of course there will be no problem with the Rong Mansion."

If Mrs. Wang didn't mention it, Jia Min knew that she didn't want to take care of Tanchun's marriage, otherwise she wouldn't have dragged it until now.But Jia Min knew her mother well, Tanchun was raised in front of Jia's mother, after all, she felt a bit of pity, Jia Min went to tell her mother, but she was not afraid of being rejected.

As for whether Mrs. Wang, the second sister-in-law of her natal family, would object, that's not a big problem.

Mrs. Wang just doesn't want to worry about marriage for Tanchun, but if others are willing to ask for marriage, she can't stop her.

"Yes, I will go back tomorrow."

In the evening, when Gu Fulan mentioned it to Lin Yao, Lin Yao laughed, "It seems that my wife really wants to facilitate this marriage."

"How to say?"

"If my wife doesn't have this heart, why would I ask you to ask your sister-in-law? Isn't this because you are afraid that something will happen to the Li family?" Lin Yao rubbed Gu Fulan's head and explained, "Generally speaking, the Li family is like this. The scholarly aristocratic family of the Li family does not marry into Xungui's family. Even if your sister-in-law's natal cousin is only a concubine, the Li family's family status will not despise him. If he can pass the exam, the Li family must also be on him. He has been cultivated with great effort, so even if he is a concubine, he is not much worse than a concubine from Xungui's family. If the Li family values ​​him more, they may even want to choose a wife from a famous eunuch family for him. If so, it will be more helpful to his official career.”

Gu Fulan naturally understood this truth, not to mention that Lin Yao said it so clearly, she thought for a while, and said, "It's a pity that Sister Tanchun was born in a family like Rongfu, but if you change your background, marriage may not be so difficult."

Gu Fulan is well aware of Tanchun's talent, if she hadn't been born in the Rong Mansion and was a concubine, how could she have been manipulated so far?

"This person's background cannot be changed, but his future can be determined by himself. If the Li family is willing to marry this family, there is a way out for Tanchun. If not, choose a talented person from a poor family It's okay to marry, the second uncle of my Rongfu is the most respectful corporal, he loves talented people, even if he comes from a poor family, he will not despise him."

When Gu Fulan heard this, she frowned slightly, "Do you think that the Li family would not agree to marry Tanchun?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Lin Yao asked.

Gu Fulan frowned, "What are you talking about? Of course I want to tell the truth, what's the use of lying?"

"Even so, I think the Li family will most likely reject this relative," Lin Yao said.

Gu Fulan was puzzled, "Why? Sister Tanchun is not bad."

"But the Jia family is a big trouble." Lin Yao said.

Gu Fulan was slightly taken aback, "Where did you say that?"

"You live in the inner house, so you don't know about the affairs of the court. Now the court is rampant buying and selling officials. The emperor intends to clear up this matter, but this matter is too involved. Many honorable families and eunuchs' families are involved. The emperor is involved. Move your whole body with one blow, don't dare to act recklessly. After a while, the Zhen family in Jinling may be in great trouble."

Lin Yao is a close minister of the emperor, so she naturally knows a lot.

Especially after he entered the Ministry of Officials, he felt that the emperor intended him to take over the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of civil and military officials. If he is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the power in his hands will greatly increase.

He didn't know whether it was the halo effect that caused the emperor to trust him so much, but it was obvious that Lin Yao benefited from it.

Gu Fulan didn't know anything about court politics, so she only frowned when she heard the words, "The Zhen family is unlucky, does it have anything to do with the Jia family?"

"The Jia family and the Zhen family are family friends. Once the Zhen family is unlucky, the Jia family will not be far away." Although Lin Yao has not read the original book, she also knows that the Jia family was ransacked later.

Although he wanted to promote Jia Lian, Jia Lian was too muddy to support him. Fortunately, he had a son, and he had a bright future, so he didn't do anything stupid to marry another.

Gu Fulan frowned when she heard the words, "If Tanchun gets married, the Jia family will be unlucky, so could the Li family be implicated?"

If so, she would have to think about whether this marriage should be matched.

Lin Yao thought for a while, then shook her head, "That's not necessarily the case, the Li family is a big family, if the Jia family is unlucky, it shouldn't be implicated in the Li family, but Tanchun's mother's family is gone, how can I hold my head up in the Li family?"

"Isn't there still Yuanchun and Yingchun?" These two are married, and their husbands are pretty good, so they are always willing to help, right?

"What are you talking about? It's hard to say whether the Li family is willing to get married." Lin Yao said.

After being told by Lin Yao, Gu Fulan was not too optimistic about this marriage.

What even Lin Yao knew about, how could the Li family not know about it?

Even if Tanchun's personal ability is outstanding enough, with such a natal family, anyone who is willing to marry her should think carefully about it.

Two days later, Gu Fulan went back to her natal home.

Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned this in front of her sister-in-law, she was stopped by her sister-in-law.

"Lan'er, I've heard of Tanchun from Jia's family. It's a good one, but their house is a mess. You don't need to tell my second aunt about this. I can tell you that this marriage is impossible. "

Gu Fulan was a little unwilling, "Sister Tanchun is really a good girl..."

"She is indeed a girl with outstanding ability, but with her background, it is impossible for her to marry into our Li family. I will not hide it from you. My second aunt said early in the morning that she would match my cousin with a scholarly family. woman."

The words have been spoken so openly, what else can Gu Fulan say?

"So that's how it is." Gu Fulan didn't say anything more, and returned after having a meal at her mother's house.

After returning, Gu Fulan came to see Jia Min, she was a little embarrassed to speak.

She was the one who initiated this matter first, but she didn't expect to run into a wall with her sister-in-law.

Jia Min saw that she looked embarrassed when she came back from her mother's house, so she knew it would be impossible. She smiled and said, "I expected this to happen early in the morning, so you don't have to be embarrassed, just treat Tanchun as dead."

The mother-in-law is so understanding, Gu Fulan felt very sorry.

At night, Gu Fulan complained to Lin Yao.

"I said earlier that this marriage is unlikely." Lin Yao said helplessly.

Gu Fulan hit a wall for the first time, and felt a little unwilling. Thinking of Lin Yao saying that Jia's family would be unlucky, the more she wanted to pull Tanchun out of the fire pit.

"Didn't you say a few days ago that it's okay for Tanchun to marry a poor family? Otherwise, you should think of a way?"

Seeing that she still didn't give up, Lin Yao murmured, "I'm also from a family, and the poor children I know are one of the few. They are Guo Xiao and Xie Yan. One of them has been married for many years, and the other is married to a princess. Where am I going?" Find a suitable candidate for you?"

"Shanhai Academy accepts students in an eclectic manner, and does not discriminate against children from poor families. Why don't you ask your teacher about it?"

Being tempered by Gu Fulan, Lin Yao had no choice but to agree, and sent a letter to Yangzhou the next day.
