The Lin Family of Gusu in the Red Mansion

Since news of Jia Yuanchun's pregnancy came out of the palace a few days ago, there has been an endless stream of people visiting Jia's family.Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu were so happy that they couldn't even close their mouths. At night, they dreamed of their future prosperity and wealth.It's a pity that they didn't take a look at it. Among the people who came, there were almost no real powerful families today. They were all just small officials or old aristocratic families, with no real power at all.Those people who are really powerful are not stupid. It doesn't matter whether the child is a prince or a princess at the moment, why is he so eager to come to the door, even if it is a prince, the emperor is only sixteen this year, so hug the emperor's thigh tightly it is true.Didn't you see that Concubine Jia is pregnant with a dragon child, has no promotion points, and doesn't even have a reward? Think we are all blind!

"Old lady, I don't think it's possible for the two girls to agree, that's all." Wang Xifeng was beating her heart in the side. She watched Lin girl and Bao girl grow up. The family is not the wife of the main house, the old lady and the wife actually thought of letting the two of them be concubine together, aren't they just concubines!

What's even more unreliable is that this Baoyu is still white now, and the second master is just a member of the Ministry of Industry, a fifth grade, and he actually wants to marry a girl from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry.It is said that marrying a daughter is high, and it is obviously impossible for others to marry.Besides, I haven't seen people who have learned that there are dragon species in the mother's stomach but have no reaction at all. Even if I have a smooth tongue and a lot of eloquence, that doesn't make sense.

But looking at the appearance of the old lady and the wife, she can't refute anything, forget it, anyway, let alone talk about face after all these years, even if the lining is lost, she doesn't care this time.

Jia's mother looked at Wang Xifeng who looked hesitant and said, "Girl Feng, I will leave the matter of those two girls to me and the second family. You can just go to the Shangshu's house of the Ministry of Industry. With the dragon species in your mother's stomach, everyone You must have thought about it, and besides, Baoyu has great fortune, so this marriage will definitely work out."

Wang Xifeng sighed resignedly, fearing that in the eyes of these two, Baoyu deserves even a princess.

Xue Baochai is currently playing with Lin Daiyu in Lin Daiyu's room. Since Xue Pan came back, Xue Baochai often comes to Lin Daiyu to relieve her boredom.

Lin Daiyu was lying on the couch, watching Xue Baochai sitting on the embroidered pier undoing the nine chains with great sentimentality, and sighed for no reason.

"You are sighing again. This day, there will be [-] times without a thousand. If this continues, the disease will be cured and the disease will be worse. If I say, you are so poor, it is your heart. Illness." Xue Baochai put down the Jiulianhuan in his hand, and explained with a smile on his face, "Is the bird's nest I sent a while ago finished? It just so happens that my brother brought some back today. I was thinking of bringing it, who You actually forgot, but someone came to see you off at night."

Lin Daiyu smiled a little this time: "I don't need so much, there are still some left over from last time! These days are thanks to you who often visit me, otherwise I have never had a single visitor in this deserted house." See you. Since I have no more money, I can see the attitude of the old lady and the others, but I can't believe how much the old lady loved me before."

Seeing that she was going to get up, Xue Baochai stood up and gave her a hand. After touching her, she sighed inwardly, she was so thin that only a layer of skin remained.

"Don't think about it all day long. The old lady and the wife are busy with the affairs of the palace ladies. If you have less time, they will come to see you when they have time. As for the sisters, it's not like you don't know that girl Tan is following Sister Feng is like a housekeeper, and welcomes the girls in her own house, but she still can't make trouble, and as for cherishing girls, she is cold-tempered."

"Girl, the old lady and the wife are coming this way." Just as she was talking, Ying'er lifted the curtain and came in.

Xue Baochai lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, then smiled at Lin Daiyu: "It's coming without saying anything. I'll go outside to meet you. You're not feeling well, so you'd better sit down and rest."

As soon as Xue Baochai went outside, she hurriedly called Ying'er over: "Go to Miss Lin's housekeeper, Luo, who said that the old lady and his wife came to look for Miss Lin together, I'm afraid it's not good."

When Yinger heard this, she was busy looking for someone.

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang saw Xue Baochai standing outside, they were a little puzzled. They didn't expect to see Xue Baochai here with Lin Daiyu. You must know that the two of them had disagreements in the past, and almost no one came to see Lin Daiyu here. At that time, Xue Baochai was actually there, it was tantamount to seeing red rain falling from the sky.

What they don't know is that in the past, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu had a conflict of interest, and that was the seat of Bao's second grandmother. Unfortunately, Xue Baochai now knows it and doesn't care about that seat at all. Instead, she sympathizes with Lin Daiyu. How can I have a clear conscience when I hurt someone once.

"Old lady, madam." Xue Baochai bowed, showing no flaws on his face, as if he didn't know anything, "Just now I told Mao'er that maybe the old lady and the wife will come to see her in a while, which is really true Yes."

Mother Jia gave Mrs. Wang a wink, obviously wanting Mrs. Wang to dismiss Xue Baochai first and talk to her about the matter, after all, it is not easy for the two of them to talk together.

"Our family's hairpin is getting more and more beautiful. Auntie hasn't talked to you for a long time. Why don't you follow Auntie to talk to other places first. When the old lady comes out, we will go to see Lin girl. There are too many people crowded together. I think it's only good for Miss Lin to get well, but I'm not happy about it."

"Yes."

Mrs. Wang took Xue Baochai into another room.

After entering the door, Xue Baochai did not wait for Mrs. Wang to speak, so she preemptively saluted and saluted: "Auntie, this chai was going to talk to you today, but now I got a good deal. My stupid My brother has returned home now, and he is also busy with the business of the family shop, it is really inconvenient here, and we have been disturbed for a long time, so my mother discussed with me to go back to my house in the capital first."

Mrs. Wang turned pale with fright, she was still counting on Xue Baochai to give Baoyu a concubine, how could she let her go now, she quickly pulled Xue Baochai and said: "You girl will be out of sight if you say this, isn't this your home, when the time comes You and Baoyu are married, so you have to stay here, and moving back and forth is troublesome."

If it was in the past, Xue Baochai would blush and say nothing at this moment, but unfortunately it is not the past now.

Xue Baochai pulled out the sleeves from Mrs. Wang's hand without a trace, and smiled politely: "Auntie is joking, the lady in the palace is pregnant with a dragon son, and Baoyu will be able to rise to the sky in the future. Our family has been defeated so far. I think it is a good match." Not Baoyu. My mother said that I am also the daughter of the Xue family, but I will marry a well-matched family as my wife. Almost everything in Lixiangyuan has been moved, so I and my mother are left here. , we thought we would leave tomorrow, so today we thought of Tete to tell my aunt."

When Mrs. Wang first heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue.It is very clear inside and out, she wants to be the wife of the main house, otherwise, even if she finds a lesser one, she will not be the concubine.Unwilling in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, Madam Wang gritted her teeth, forget it, if she confessed her words, there might be a glimmer of hope, right?

He looked at Xue Baochai with loving eyes, but unfortunately he didn't respond in the slightest.

"Chaier, to tell you the truth, we are planning to marry Baoyu, and the other party is a girl from Shangshu's family. Although I can only grant you a concubine seat, but think about it, you have been friends with Baoyu since you were young, Baoyu When the time comes, it will definitely favor you. If you give birth to a big fat boy, then the main room will be taller than you? Besides, the queen’s belly is a dragon child. When the prince sits in that seat, it’s not enough for Baoyu to confer the king’s obeisance. As for the matter of words, you are also extremely honored at other times."

Xue Baochai still had her usual smile at the moment, but unfortunately she had already made up her mind.

"Thank you, Auntie, for your kindness, but my mother said that no daughter of the Xue family can be a concubine. This is my mother's idea, and there is nothing that Chai can do." Xue Baochai stood up after speaking, and bowed to Mrs. Wang. "My mother is still waiting for me to go back in Lixiangyuan, so I can take care of it. There will be no delay, and I hope my aunt will forgive me."

Mrs. Wang knew that Xue Baochai was very assertive, but she didn't expect that she would not be able to talk to a little girl, and she couldn't help being very annoyed: "Chai'er said that, is it not for my aunt's face? Baoyu has a bright future, and my aunt loves you so much." Let you be the concubine, if the empress wants a decree from the emperor, there are many official girls waiting outside, or I will talk to your mother again."

It didn't make sense, so he started threatening.

For Jia Yuanchun Xue Baochai is still scruples, even jealous.She thinks that she is as talented and beautiful as Jia Yuanchun, but why Jia Yuanchun can become a princess servant, and then rise to the top and become a queen, she has nothing to compare with herself except for her damned background.Xue Baochai still resented her business background. She originally resented Lin Daiyu, but Lin Daiyu's current situation is worse than hers, so this resentment was transferred to Jia Yuanchun.She swore that no matter what, she would become a master, not a little concubine.

"Chai'er thinks she's not good enough for Baoyu, and those official girls becoming concubine will surely pave the way for Baoyu's future. Chai'er can't be so selfish, so, for the sake of Brother Bao, Auntie should propose marriage to those girls."

This time Mrs. Wang was really suffocated, as if she had punched the cotton, and she was exhausted.

And Jia Mu is persuading Lin Daiyu.

"During this period of time, I have been busy with the affairs of the first lady in the palace, but I have neglected you. You have been sick for so long and I only took time to visit you today. It is my fault." Jiamu smiled kindly. , as if she was still the grandmother who was so loving to Lin Daiyu.

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu felt sore when she thought of the desertedness of the past few days, her eyes were slightly red, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a forced smile, "Where is it, the old lady is busy, so it took me a while to see me." Be energetic, it will be my unfilial piety when the time comes."

Mother Jia felt a little relieved when she heard her words, and then said some concerned words, Lala's family history, but after a while, she returned to the main topic.

"Nowadays, you and Baoyu are both 13 years old, and most people make an appointment early. When your old lady was still alive, she said that the two families should marry each other. I think we can make an appointment sometime. .Anyway, we are at home anyway, and it will be the same in the morning and evening. At that time, I will be a granddaughter and a granddaughter-in-law, which will make me happy, and I would be happy to come to Baoyu."

Lin Daiyu blushed slightly, so she tugged on her sleeve, not knowing how to answer.Usually, the sisters' jokes are nothing more than that, and she can still return it. At this moment, Mother Jia is obviously serious, but she doesn't know what to do.

"It's just one point, but I'm going to wrong you?" Seeing Lin Daiyu's expression, Jia's mother knew that she liked Jia Baoyu, and the marriage was half successful. With a kind smile, she touched Lin Daiyu's hand, "You also know that Baoyu was born with jade in his mouth. There must be great fortune in the future. Now that the empress has a prince in her belly, Baoyu's future is even more limitless. Although you are from a noble family, it is a pity that the family No one can support Baoyu anymore, so I thought, let you be a concubine and find a daughter of a high-ranking family with a soft personality for Baoyu, which will also benefit his future."

Lin Daiyu was happy at first, but she immediately turned pale when she heard the word concubine.No matter how unreasonable she is, she still understands that the concubine is a concubine.Back then, her father told her about her mother killing the concubine and concubine, and looking at the life of Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou, she didn't understand.If she becomes that concubine, will she be killed by the main room in time?But the person to marry is Baoyu, the person she wants to marry with all her heart, what should I do?But she definitely never thought that the old lady would let her be a concubine, that's a concubine!A concubine who was murdered by her mother.

Mother Jia was surprised when she saw Lin Daiyu's pale face. She didn't expect Lin Daiyu to react like this. She thought that Lin Daiyu was just a child who didn't understand anything all these years. The elders said that she would obey .But she miscalculated the impact of Lin Ruhai telling Lin Daiyu that Jia Min killed his concubine, and Lin Daiyu's sensitive mind.

"Yu'er, even if it's a concubine, you think Baoyu has protected you since she was a child, and you have my grandmother protecting you, so the main room is even worse than you, don't you think so?" Mother Jia continued to bewitch Well, she knows Baoyu's place in Lin Daiyu's heart, as long as she talks about Baoyu, she will succeed.

Before Lin Daiyu had time to think, an angry voice rang out from outside: "This is absolutely impossible."
