Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Sister Feng couldn't help being a little puzzled, and said, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Daiyu frowned slightly, and asked, "Second sister-in-law, do you know who is that old lady next to the pine tree bonsai opposite?"

When Sister Feng heard the words, she frowned and said displeasedly, "It's her, what a bad luck!"

Because of the resignation of the Liu family, Sister Feng hated the old lady of the Liu family very much.

Daiyu was puzzled and said, "Could it be that my sister-in-law knows each other?"

Sister Feng curled her lips and said, "That's the old lady of General Liu Yuan's residence. She has been living in her hometown and she just returned to the capital not long ago."

How smart Daiyu is, she understood after hearing this. She also heard about the inside story of Tanchun's resignation, but she didn't expect that the two families would meet at the same place today by such a coincidence. .

Sister Feng glanced at Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian, and said with a sneer: "They are just upstarts from the village, but their hearts are higher than the sky. I want to see what kind of good family they can climb up!"

Daiyu didn't like Mrs. Liu's company, so she didn't want to talk to her, and Quan pretended she didn't see her. It happened that Zhang Ying came over at this time, and they talked together. Sister Feng was called by Mrs. Wang Ziteng, and All thrown away.

Not long after the guests arrived, Princess Dongping ordered a banquet to be held, and everyone entered the table. After a while, the play list was presented below. Auspicious drama, and then asked Princess Beijing to click it.Everyone gave way again, and ordered to sing whatever they chose.

When I was young, the dishes had been presented four times, and the soup began to be served together. After rewards were given to those who came, everyone changed their clothes, came back to the table, and offered another good tea.

After watching the play, Princess Dongping smiled and said to everyone: "Now there is wine, everyone, why not go to the garden for a walk, there is nothing else in our family's dilapidated garden, only a few plum blossoms are alright. "

Everyone laughed and said: "My concubine is too modest. No one knows that the plum blossoms in the mansion are famous products in the world, and there is no other place in the capital, but now they are talking and laughing again."

After having tea for a while, everyone wandered around in the garden. Gu Ling took Daiyu's hand and whispered, "Sister-in-law, why is that old lady at the back always looking at us?"

Daiyu was startled when she heard the words, she turned her head and saw that it was Mrs. Liu again, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Don't worry about it, let's go."

Gu Ling didn't understand what he meant, but she also saw that Daiyu didn't like the other party, so she didn't ask any more questions immediately.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu suddenly rushed up quickly, seemingly without a trace.

Yiyi stopped in front of the two of them, squinted her triangular eyes, and looked Gu Ling from head to toe, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, she has seen all the girls in the audience today, and the one in front of her is the one that suits her best. They are all good, and they are worthy of their own grandson, not to mention being in-laws of the Lin family, which is even more good.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu took Gu Ling's hand and said with a smile on her face: "Is this the eldest girl of the Gu family? You really look good." After speaking, she looked at Daiyu and said, "I heard that Lin Ruren is from Gusu, what a coincidence, we are from the same hometown!"

Both Gu Ling and Dai Yu were baffled. They couldn't figure out why the old lady suddenly came over to talk to her, but she didn't reach out her hand to hit the smiling face. Although Gu Ling was displeased, she didn't show anything on her face. He smiled and said, "You are too famous."

Daiyu saw that Mrs. Liu looked at her with that kind of sizing eyes again, she was very displeased, but she couldn't say anything. The other party was old and in front of everyone, but her eyes were a little presumptuous, and she didn't make any gestures. What untimely move, I had no choice but to suppress my impatience, frowned slightly and said: "I don't know what advice the old lady has?"

Mrs. Liu didn't realize that there was something wrong, she just smiled and said, "It's just that she saw that this girl was born well, and Lin Ruren has a kind face, and she liked it, so she said a few more words."

After finishing speaking, he chattered and asked Gu Ling how old he is this year, what he likes on weekdays, and if he promised anyone else, then he turned around and asked Daiyu what she was doing at home, whether she had any relatives at home, etc.

Gu Ling still didn't understand what old lady Liu meant, her face flushed immediately, and she was very angry in her heart, but she was a girl's house, and she was a guest at someone else's house, so it was not easy to get angry, so she had to grit her teeth and bear it, pretending to be shy and humble For the first time, he refused to speak.

Daiyu was even more powdery and frosty. Of course, she could see what Mrs. Liu was thinking about Gu Ling. She took a step forward to block Gu Ling, glanced at Mrs. Liu, suppressed her smile, and said lightly: "Our family How can a girl let the elders in her family decide, these things won't bother outsiders."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her complexion turned red and then pale. The words were not polite at all, and she almost pointed at her nose and said that she was meddling with mice.

Gu Ling almost laughed, and secretly praised her second sister-in-law for her eloquence, and she didn't use dirty words when swearing.

Daiyu nodded slightly to Mrs. Liu, and regardless of the other's ugly face, she pulled Gu Ling to turn around and left.

But besides being angry, she still can't figure it out. Mrs. Liu thinks that Gu Ling is justifiable. She has already left the cabinet, but the other party also grabs her to ask a question.

He kept asking about his mother's family affairs inside and out, but for what?

Daiyu would never have guessed that Mrs. Liu had a crush on Lin Ruhai, but after guessing for a long time, she couldn't figure it out and then threw it away.

After Mrs. Liu left angrily, a few people came out from behind the big maple tree next to her. They were none other than Princess Dongping, Mrs. Wang Ziteng, and Sister Feng.

Sister Feng let out a 'pooh' in the direction that Mrs. Liu left, and said with a sneer, "The toad wants to eat swan meat, so he doesn't urinate and take care of himself!"

She said just now that she didn't know what kind of family Mrs. Liu wanted to marry, but she never expected that this old lady had such a high heart that she fell in love with the eldest girl of the Gu family!

That is a century-old family, after Princess Yong'an, the granddaughter of the great Confucian Gu Yan, her appearance and talent are not comparable to many in the capital, and she is more than enough to be a princess.

Then the Liu family is just a small area where Xinrong's family broke out. Where did the confidence come from?Just relying on Concubine Li in the palace?It's a joke in the world!

Mrs. Wang Ziteng thought so too, but felt that Sister Feng's words were vulgar, so she patted her lightly and said angrily, "How many times have I told you, speak more politely outside, don't settle down like that rogue in the market, It's a joke."

After finishing speaking, she smiled apologetically at Princess Dongping, and said: "I have spoiled this child, she is the mother of two children, and she still behaves like this."

Princess Dongping smiled and said: "It's okay, our two families are not outsiders, I just love Feng girl's straightforward personality."

The four princes and eight princes have always been friends. Wang Fu of Dongping is family friends with the Wang family and the Jia family. Princess Dongping and Mrs. Wang Ziteng had a good relationship when they were in their boudoirs. They almost watched Sister Feng grow up. , There is not much contact between the two, but the relationship is still very good.

Sister Feng became more and more happy, she held Princess Dongping's hand and said with a smile, "It's still Princess who loves me."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng shook her head helplessly. There was no outsider here anyway, so she went with her.

After talking and joking for a while, Fang returned to the topic. Princess Dongping glanced at the direction where Mrs. Liu was leaving, pondered for a moment, and asked Sister Feng: "Is it because of the Qian family that the Liu family divorced with the third girl in the family? "

It turned out that some time ago, the Jia family and the Liu family suddenly became close, and the wives discussed it in private, but after a while, the two families suddenly became cold and ignored each other, as if they were never in contact with each other.

Everyone has experienced the world, and they can't guess the key to it. It just so happened that both families came to the banquet today, so they couldn't help discussing in private.

Therefore Princess Dongping

Today, I just turned around and listened to the news.

Sister Feng was not at all surprised how Princess Dongping knew about this. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. After all, she couldn't hide it for a long time, so she sighed: "No, the third girl in our family is literate, has a bright and generous temperament, and the housekeeper and director are capable in everything. It’s not good enough, but it happened to me, it’s really aggrieved.”

Mrs. Wang Ziteng also said: "Does the princess have a suitable family?"

Princess Dongping pondered for a moment, and said: "I do know a family, the elder brother has a very good temper and temperament, and he is just suitable for the third girl. Their family will come to Beijing after the end of the year. When the time comes, I will set up a line through them and ask the two of you to meet." See, if it's suitable..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a daughter-in-law in charge rushing over and said: "Report to the princess, the servant has something important to report."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng and Sister Feng heard the words, and without waiting for Princess Dongping to speak, they both laughed and said: "Princess, let's go to work, let us go shopping by ourselves."

Princess Dongping pleaded guilty and left in a hurry.

After visiting the garden for a while, all the daughters were ordered to leave one after another, and it was inconvenient for Princess Dongping to stay, so everyone gave up again, sent them to the gate of the garden, and left in a sedan chair.

But it is said that Mrs. Liu has run into a wall with Daiyu, and she is more determined to take Lin Ruhai down. By then, she will become the elder of the Lin family, and see if that stinky girl dares to show her face.

So when Mrs. Liu returned home, she immediately ordered someone to call Liu Shang over, and asked, "Have you ever met Mrs. Lin Hailin?"

Liu Shang was startled when he heard the words, and after a while came to understand, he said: "The old lady is talking about Lin Ruhai who was a former inspector of salt and was born as a marquis in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Mrs. Liu nodded quickly and said, "Exactly, have you seen it before?"

Liu Shang didn't understand what he meant, and said honestly: "The grandson is familiar with the young master of Li Hanlin's family, and he met Mr. Lin by chance during Li Hanlin's [-]th birthday."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked: "What does Mr. Lin look like?"

Liu Shang was startled when he heard the words, and asked in puzzlement, "Why does the old lady ask this?"

Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said, "I have my own reasons, don't worry about it, just say it's with me anyway."

Liu Shang felt something was wrong in his heart, but Mrs. Liu was an elder, so she couldn't refuse, so he said: "Although Master Lin is in his sixtieth year, he looks very young, but he looks about forty years old, with elegant demeanor and extraordinary bearing. "

Lin Ruhai is already in her sixtieth year, but because of the good maintenance, she took care of herself more carefully due to illness in the past few years.

Mrs. Liu listen ten

Very satisfied, seeing Liu Shang's puzzled face, he waved his hand and told him to go back without explaining.

Although their family status was lower than that of the Lin family, the Lin family had been passed down for several generations, and the number of members withered. Now Lin Ruhai has retired, but he only holds some false titles.

Her niece is young and beautiful, and also a big girl with yellow flowers, more than enough to match Lin Ruhai.

According to Mrs. Liu, she wished that the marriage would be finalized tomorrow, but now it is the end of the new year, and everyone is busy with the year. If I write a letter now, I have to wait until the canal thaws in the spring of next year before I can go to Beijing, so I can only endure it.

After thinking about it, he called Qian Shi over, told about Gu Ling, and said, "This girl from the Gu family looks like she has a good family background. I want to ration her to Shang'er, what do you think?"

Qian was immediately dissatisfied when she heard it. She only fell in love with Gu Ling after watching it all day today, and she wanted to tell her son, so she couldn't help complaining: "Old lady, you can't be partial, Shang'er is your grandson, but Chang'er is also your own grandson, so it's better to tell Chang'er about such a good family, after all, they are about the same age."

Mrs. Liu thought about it, and now that her granddaughter is being favored, Chang'er is the empress's serious brother, and the eldest grandson Liu Shang is separated from the empress after all.

As the saying goes, the youngest son and grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. Although Mrs. Liu loves the eldest grandson, she still loves the youngest son the most. What's more, the granddaughter is up to the challenge and becomes a queen in the palace. Even the youngest grandson Liu Chang also sees her lifeblood. childlike.

The current glory of their family is all due to Concubine Li in the palace, so if there are good things, it is natural that Sanfang will come.

So I thought for a while and said: "You are right, I will keep Miss Gu for Chang'er, and I will find another good one for Shang'er."

Only then did Mrs. Qian rejoice, and said with a quick smile: "The old lady is wise, since that's the case, let's invite someone to propose marriage earlier, and I'm afraid that others will preempt it later."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said, "There's no need to worry. Everyone is busy celebrating the New Year now. No one would propose marriage at this time. Besides, the Gu family is taller and naturally proud. Ordinary people will naturally look down on them and will not agree easily. Well, in my opinion, we will settle the matter of your little sister Lan first after a few years, and when she becomes the mistress of the Lin family, she will be the in-laws of the Gu family. "

Although Mrs. Liu is conceited, she also knows deep down in her heart that there is a world of difference between their family and a century-old family like the Gu family. Now it is only because of Concubine Li in the palace that they are so respectable.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qian had no choice but to

Reluctantly agreed.

On the other side, Mrs. Liu didn't know what happened. During the day, she was dragged to talk by several imperial wives, so she never paid attention to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian. I was very worried, so I asked someone to investigate.

However, the two people who couldn't hide their thoughts on weekdays kept their mouths tightly shut this time, and didn't find out anything.

Mrs. Liu felt uneasy, always felt that they were hiding something, and secretly told her confidants to pay attention to that side, but the next two days were calm and nothing happened, so Mrs. Liu had no choice but to suppress her doubts for the time being, and asked people to keep an eye on the two of them. .

The confidant girl Hongmei rubbed her temples gently, and persuaded softly: "Madam, don't worry, I think it's the first time for the old lady and the second wife to have a banquet after returning to Beijing, so I'm happy, let alone now there is a wife Look, there are no storms."

Mrs. Liu sighed after hearing the words: "That being said, I am always uneasy in my heart. The old lady has been flattered by everyone these years, and she does her own way, but this capital is no different from our original place. I am only worried about poking something out of the disaster."

There are so many princes and aristocrats in the capital, a mere concubine is nothing, if you really cause a big event, you still cannot escape death.

Fortunately, the new year has been passed safely, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian have not caused any major troubles, so Mrs. Liu is gradually relieved.

Not long after the Lantern Festival, the palace issued an order to confer the title of Concubine Li as Concubine Li.

After receiving the decree, everyone in the Liu family was beaming with joy, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian were so happy that they almost fainted. They ignored Mrs. Liu's dissuasion and held a grand banquet for three days and three nights.

It turned out that concubine Li had made great contributions to conceiving the dragon species this time. Emperor Qingde thought about her dedication to serving the palace for many years, and after some consideration, he was promoted to be his concubine Li.

Concubine Li is young and beautiful, with a delicate and naive temperament. Since entering the palace, she has always been thoughtful and attentive. Even if she is careful, she is very simple and straightforward.

Emperor Qingde has long been tired of the scheming of the former court and the harem, and felt at ease with such a straightforward mind, so he pampered him a little more on weekdays.

In addition, the Liu family is just an explosive family with no foundation. Except for the long house Liu Yuan, a guerrilla general of some grade, there is no power. Liu Yuan has no children, and the other two houses are also mediocre. Any promising youngsters don't have to worry about affecting the previous court, so this is why Li Concubine was generously given a position.

On the other side, Mrs. Liu got the letter of approval from her niece Qian Lan'er, and finally started to work.

When he got up, he asked someone to find Hu Shi, the wife of Da Sima Jia Yucun, and gave him a heavy gift of 1000 taels of silver. He told Lin Ruhai that he wanted to marry Lin Ruhai, and promised to send 2000 taels of silver as a thank-you matchmaker after the matter was completed.

This Mrs. Hu was originally a servant girl with little experience, but she was lucky. The first wife who entered the door earlier died of illness. This Mrs. Hu was always favored by Jia Yucun, and she gave birth to a son, so she helped her upright.

To straighten the concubine's room, this is not the case in a family with a little bit of rules, so all the imperial wives look down on such a family, let alone make friends with it.

However, Jia Yucun is the first-class home of Xinrong, from the official to the great Sima, many low-level officials and women are vying to flatter and flatter. In the past few years, relying on Jia Yucun's power, he has arranged lawsuits, exploited profits, and done everything.

Now it's just helping to talk about marriage, even if it doesn't work out, it's no problem, as usual, you get 1000 taels of silver for nothing.

So that night when Jia Yucun came back, he told Mrs. Liu what she had asked for, saying: "Master Lin is a foreigner after all, I can't say anything, I can only rely on the master."

Jia Yucun didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard that Lin Ruhai was proposing marriage, he suddenly became interested, clapped his hands and smiled, "Interesting! This matter has great potential!"

It turns out that Jia Yucun has always regarded himself very high, and what he hates the most is the experience of being humble in the past.

Back then, he was a teacher in the Lin family, and he also humiliated Lin Ruhai. Now he is in the prime of life, has both sons and daughters, and has reached the position of Da Sima, one of the three divisions, with a high position and weight.

However, Lin Ruhai was already old and frail, he had retired to serve at home, and had no heirs, so he could not be compared with himself at all.

Jia Yucun was complacent and determined to find a place in front of Lin Ruhai, but Lin Ruhai lived in seclusion after returning to Beijing and could not find a good opportunity.

Now that it is so easy to have this opportunity, how can I miss it.

This is whether Lin Ruhai should or should not, and Lin Ruhai's reputation will be gone if he should, and if he should not, he can see a joke and let out the bad breath in his heart.

So when he was in Xiumu, Jia Yucun specially wrote a post and sent it to Lin's mansion.
