The Lin Family of Gusu in the Red Mansion

As soon as the words were finished, Butler Luo walked in from the door with no expression on his face, but the anger in his body could not be ignored no matter what.

"Old lady, I respect you as the girl's grandmother, and I have tolerated it until now, but today you want my girl to be a concubine, I am sorry for the old slave, it is too much to bear." Housekeeper Luo ignored Jia's mother and went straight to Lin Daiyu's side. Looking at Lin Daiyu growing up, I felt that I really loved her as a granddaughter, how could she be bullied.

When Lin Daiyu saw Butler Luo coming over, she seemed to have found the backbone for a moment. This was the most loyal old man in the Lin family. After Lin Ruhai died, Butler Luo was like a grandfather to Lin Daiyu.

"Housekeeper Luo, who are you talking to?" Mother Jia was also very annoyed when she saw that Butler Luo didn't take her seriously. No one in Jia's family had ever provoked her like this, "Anyway, you just I'm just a slave, why should I decide on my master's marriage? As long as Yu'er agrees to this marriage, what right do you have to say no to me?"

Lin Daiyu frowned when she heard Jiamu's words. She also felt very uncomfortable hearing these words, but Jiamu was her own grandmother, and Housekeeper Luo was indeed a servant. Jiamu never said anything wrong, nor did she. It's easy to refute, but she looked at Jia Mu with dissatisfaction in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Old lady, you..."

Steward Luo ignored Jiamu's words, and said to Lin Daiyu anxiously, "Girl, last time you didn't listen to the old slave and lent money to them. What happened? If anything happened, it's all our fault." I will let you be a concubine as soon as I come here today. What is a concubine? It can be beaten, scolded, sold, or even given away as a plaything. Think about it, even if the actor in the theater is favored, he can be bought back To be a concubine, think about the concubine the master used to be, girl, are you really going to be that lowly concubine?"

Looking at Mother Jia, who was not looking so good, Housekeeper Luo continued his efforts: "How can we say that we are all girls from a scholarly family who are famous for their food, even if we are in decline now, we can't be concubines, girl, you will marry the master under the nine springs and the Lin family. Where are the ancestors of the family? It is better for us to marry a talented man and be a wife than to be a concubine of a wealthy family. This is the most basic backbone of our scholarly family."

Having said that, if Lin Daiyu doesn't get better, Steward Luo will really go crazy.

Lin Daiyu frowned and thought for a long time, then slowly raised her head, struggled with contradictions, finally gritted her teeth, stood up and knelt in front of Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, I don't know if what you said is right, but I know that the Lin family is A scholar would never be a concubine. If you asked me to marry Baoyu to be an upright wife, then Daiyu would have nothing to say. But the word concubine has always been indistinguishable from an opera singer. How to be with Baoyu's childhood sweetheart, can't..."

Steward Luo breathed a sigh of relief. Although the girl still seemed conflicted, if she could say these words, he would be able to figure out a way.Fortunately, he is an old man of the Lin family, even the master has to call himself Uncle Luo, otherwise he really has no position to fight with this old lady.

Jia Mu's face froze, she definitely did not expect Lin Daiyu to say such words.But she didn't think about it. No matter how careless a person is, he knows what a concubine is. Besides, although Lin Daiyu is naive, she has read the Four Books and Five Classics, and she has also watched the scenes of Aunt Jia's persecution. If there is a problem in the brain, anyone can figure it out.

After calming down, Mother Jia regained her benevolent look, pulled Lin Daiyu up, hugged her in her arms and said, "Why are you kneeling so well? I asked you to marry Baoyu for your sake. Maybe Baoyu is not worthy of you?" You can't do it?"

"Heh!" Steward Luo smiled coldly, and immediately pulled Lin Daiyu away from Jiamu's arms, "The old lady doesn't need to talk nonsense here. It's not about whether you deserve it, but about you want my girl to be your concubine." , even if she is the prime minister of the court, my girl is determined not to be a concubine. If it is said that she is worthy, the old slave really feels that the nobleman is not good enough for my girl, at least my girl is full of money, but the second master Bao is just a straw bag , besides being used to coaxing girls and teasing women all day long, what else can you do? Lin Shangshu's son is already 12 years old, but the second master Bao is not even a scholar, but white clothes."

Lin Daiyu stood aside silently, but she actually wanted to say that she didn't care about fame and fame. Like Baoyu, she didn't like economic and official careers. They were like-minded, but when they saw Steward Luo's expression that was about to breathe fire, she endured it.

Mother Jia was so angry that she patted the table, and pointed at Steward Luo with her other hand and said, "Diao Nu! I am her maternal grandmother. Now that Yu'er has no relatives alive, I should make decisions about her marriage. Since ancient times, the relationship between parents According to the order of the matchmaker, I will make a decision, and Yu'er will be Baoyu's concubine."

The reason didn't make sense, so Jia's mother started to play tricks.She thought that Steward Luo was nothing more than a slave, so how could she be against her?

Steward Luo took a step forward, confronting each other, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and unfolded it in front of Mother Jia: "Mrs. Just in case it was left for me, it clearly stated on it that if the arrangement of the girl's marriage by your Jia family is dissatisfied with the girl's wishes, then I will decide the girl's marriage. There are also fingerprints here, and there are records and other records in the government. One copy, you can see clearly."

Mother Jia suddenly saw this suicide note, and she panicked for a moment, she had never foreseen such a thing would happen, her face was blue and purple, and she was so angry.The veteran clenched his hands tightly, trembling with anger, secretly resenting that even if Lin Ruhai died, he would leave a hand to harm others.

"Old lady, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave." Butler Luo looked unhappy, fearing that if Mother Jia stayed here any longer, he would just drive her away.

Mother Jia was so angry that her chest heaved and fluctuated, so she hurriedly used her hands to comfort herself, stood up, and said to Lin Daiyu: "Yu'er, whether to marry or not, you decide for yourself, grandma will not harm you." Then she turned around. left.

Lin Daiyu's tears flowed down her face, and she fell down on the table and cried uncontrollably. Butler Luo couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly persuaded her.

"Girl, although we live in Jia's house now, we can't weaken the reputation of Lin's family. The money lent to them last time has become fake, and the old slave has always suspected that they changed it secretly. Go. So I took the girl's only 1 taels of silver bill to the bank to check, it was true at all, the old slave kept silent all the time because he was afraid that the girl would be sad."

Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, cried as if she hadn't heard it.In fact, she was already in a state of confusion. Could it be that the old lady and the others swallowed her own money?Now you want to make yourself a concubine?Although the Xue family borrowed silver and failed to repay it on time, and the IOU disappeared, they still paid back a little on time every month, which is considered trustworthy, but the old lady and the others... this comparison, is it difficult? This ancestral family is not as good as outsiders?

If the three of Lin Ke and the others were present, Mei Yan would probably laugh so hard that he couldn't hold back his breath.Unexpectedly, Lin Ke's conspiracy theory at that time really got Steward Luo to write a letter, and this Jia family can be regarded as a scapegoat for others when others kept scapegoating his family.

"Girl, we still have some money anyway, plus the Xue family pays back every month, so we can't live a good life. Let's find an honest scholar to marry, and take care of our husband and children. Isn't that good? I went to that country a few days ago, and someone mentioned the girl’s marriage to me. The family is also a scholar. The family has a lot of land and a big house. The master is also a juror. The young son of that family is only fourteen , but is already a scholar, and next year it is possible to be admitted to Juren. They are also satisfied with our family background, we are a young mistress when we marry, why bother to be a concubine in Jia's family?"

Lin Daiyu already had some dislike for Jia's family, but she had deep-rooted affection for Jia Baoyu.

"Housekeeper Luo, I thought that we, brother and sister, would have fun together, the old lady in Jia's mansion and Sister Feng were always joking around, and Baoyu was nice to me, I always thought that one day..." At this point , the tears fell down like rolling beads, it was pitiful, "Can I ask you one thing, Housekeeper Luo, help me beg the old lady, can you let me not be a concubine, if the old lady If I persist like that, I will..."

Steward Luo almost didn't make it in one breath, girl, everyone is like this, and you still have the intention of marrying Jia Baoyu, so... is this hopeless?He instantly understood the thoughts of Lin Ke's family.

This girl used to be fine at home, why did she become like this after coming to Jia's mansion for a few years?Sure enough, the master should never have sent the girl here from the very beginning.

"Okay, girl, I will help you once. If they still refuse to let go, can the girl listen to the old slave's opinion?" Alas, whoever is the girl I have loved since childhood, let's take a step back.Anyway, it is impossible for the Jia family to agree to it, so it is useless, girl.As for Jia Baoyu, the people in Jia's mansion have completely isolated her from the girl for the past two days, and she can't see her no matter what.

"Okay, if it doesn't work, then I will give up." Lin Daiyu agreed without hesitation.

Butler Luo walked out tremblingly. He didn't know how many years would be lost in such an unconscious girl. He had expected her to see clearly the true face of Jia's family. precious jade.

The situation on Wang Xifeng's side was even worse than that of Mrs. Jiamu Wang's. The matchmaker didn't say a word, but Mrs. Shangshu refused.

"That is to say, the wife of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry does not agree at all?" Jia Mu asked incredulously, "Didn't you tell me about our family's treasure jade? Our family's treasure jade was born with jade, and there will be a prince to protect it in the future." of."

Wang Xifeng felt aggrieved when she was told this. Seeing the old lady with a bad face and the wife who was obviously in a bad mood, she couldn't tell.Now she is Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, she is not a human being inside and out.

Wang Xifeng had a bitter face, showing that there was nothing I could do about it: "Old lady, madam, it's not that I didn't try my best, but that the matchmaker was talking about the hype, and whoever you mentioned didn't say anything, but she just said a word. "The second son of your family is a dragon and a phoenix among people. My girl is just like a willow, and she has a bad temper. It really humiliates the noble son, so this marriage should not be mentioned again." Just finished speaking, His wife just left, even if I have [-] martial arts skills, I still can't use them."

Mrs. Wang exerted her strength and nearly broke the Buddhist bead. She was thinking in her heart that this lady of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce really didn't know what to do, and she would regret it sooner or later.

Mother Jia thought deeply, and shook her head when she got there, helplessly: "Forget it, people don't like us. Sooner or later, we will definitely find a satisfactory wife for Baoyu. Anyway, we are still young, so take your time and don't worry."

Wang Xifeng changed from her usual clever appearance, and stood aside silently, anyway, she felt that what the old lady and his wife were thinking was unreliable.
