Uncle Lin fell from the sky [Red Mansion + Qing Chuan]

Rongxitang, looking at the eldest son who was in his forties, hurried in and said, "It's not good, someone from the Lin family is here."

What kind of words is this? He just opened his mouth, and he is such a big person.

With a dark face at the moment, he scolded dissatisfiedly: "Shut up, come as soon as you come, ordinary relatives will treat you politely, and just let it go, look at your worthless appearance, a person who has grandchildren, a little prudence is not enough." No, I only know how to play and prodigal all day long, and I don’t look like a family member at all. If it weren’t for you, I would have messed up the way your father planned for you. How can I be so old..."

Speaking of this, the old lady's heart hurts. His eldest son has been the treasure of his parents-in-law since he was born. He doted on him and grew up. Although she was not brought up by her own hands, he is also a piece of flesh that fell from her body.It's not that she doesn't feel pain, but when she was fighting with her mother-in-law, this kid helped the old woman a lot and demolished her.

As for the youngest son, she raised her with her own hands, and she always takes her side in everything. Compared with this, she is not partial.What's more, this eldest son is really worthless. When the Duke of the Kingdom left, he took great pains to put this boy next to the prince as a companion. He only hoped that this friendship would protect the Jia family even if there was no powerful head of the family. It won't decline, even if she doesn't want to admit it, but her two sons are not so talented, I just hope that they can maintain the rich status of Rongguo Mansion, and wait until the next generation has a junior who can take care of things .

It's a pity that this guy follows the prince, it's fine if he's not clever, and he can't even be honest and obedient.Instead, they often brought some playthings to the prince, either pulling the prince to reward gold and stone antiques, or taking people to listen to music and enjoy operas. Later, for some reason, the prince and the emperor had conflicts. The accompanying readers and servants were all punished.

And the only one who was kicked out was Jia Amnesty, because he didn't learn well with the prince, didn't persuade the superiors and didn't speak, and also led the prince not to think about progress and indulged in having fun.

This is indeed true. Among the four companions of the prince, this guy is indeed the weakest. He exists to play with the prince. Emperor Kangxi also acquiesced at the beginning, but they all said that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. If you get angry, you can't beat your son desperately, then you can only be topped by the people around him.

Jia Amnesty became this punching bag, grabbing every braid on his body.

This also led to Jia She's current embarrassing position in the mansion. Even if he knew that his mother was eccentric and let that idiot brother move into Rongxi hall, he could only swallow his anger.

Fortunately, the crown prince is still there, so he will not be squeezed out and have no place to stay. Some people outside, looking at the prince's face, are still willing to give this empty Rongguo mansion a bit of dignity.

Thinking of these past events, the old lady hated Jia She again, and Jia She only grinned in pain, but she could only bear it, who called him a sinner in this house.

However, aren't they talking about the people from the Lin family now?

The old lady is not guilty, anyway, he is guilty. This time the empress visits relatives, saying that she is the empress, but his niece is only a concubine, and has no rank. Originally, there is no hope in the mansion. There are not many concubines, but Jia Yuanchun, as a female official, was lucky enough to follow, and luck came. Once he was lucky, he became one of the concubines in the harem, which is very surprising. After all, a girl who has already reached twenty How to be favored by the emperor seems to be a bit important.

In fact, there is a reason for this. After Jia Yuanchun first entered the palace, he distributed some silver to the Chengqian Palace where Concubine Tong Guifei was at that time, that is, Empress Xiaoyiren, who was posthumously named after her death, as a third-class maid. Concubine Tong Guifei in winter watched Jia Yuanchun secretly wipe away tears while wiping the doors and windows with frozen red hands.

Feeling sorry for her, and later knowing that she was literate and proficient in writing and ink, she called people to help me copy Buddhist scriptures, manage books, and later became a female official.

And the emperor these years, getting older, the relationship with the prince has become worse and worse, privately miss the old people, especially those who have passed away, knowing that Jia Yuanchun once served as a female officer next to his cousin, he can't help calling people to talk, recalling the past, and Jia Yuanchun, who was about to despair, seized the opportunity at this moment. Emperor Kangxi was not a gentleman who could sit still, and in her eyes, the women in the harem belonged to him.

If you are a modern person, I am afraid that it is difficult to understand. While you are talking to the deceased lover and serving the person, talking about those past events and missing her, and at the same time sleeping with this person without any burden, do you feel awkward and guilty in your heart?

But people really don't, and it's considered nostalgia.

Later, for some reason, Emperor Kangxi suddenly thought of his mother who had passed away for many years, the Empress Dowager Cihe who died early, and lamented that his mother's difficulties in those years, not to mention the fact that his son was less respectful and filial by his side, was already of low grade. It has been difficult to meet his relatives for many years, so this is the game of concubines visiting relatives. Because he is afraid of being criticized by the censor and historian, he only invites a few concubines to participate.

And the concubines who have sons and dignified positions are not envious. They have been in the palace for many years. How much affection can they have with their natal family? .

Not to mention Jia's mansion, there are several other families who received orders from the palace. In order to show the empress's favor and make the empresses in the palace happy, they all compared each other to build momentum for the empress. In this comparison, Jia The government took the top spot, and it can be regarded as another second place in the capital.

Now all the people in the house are looking forward to the empress being able to conceive a prince, so that their Jia family will have hope.

For this reason, Jia's mansion was as worthless as silver, and built a grand view garden. Where did the money come from? , Dafeng hero, the two brothers of the Jia family both won the title and became the princes of the country. Later, Jia Daishan was selected by Kangxi and entered the youth class that accompanied Kangxi to play Buku. It is a pity that he served in the government of the state for several generations. Afterwards, he also followed Kangxi to conquer Mongolia several times. Unfortunately, the old injury occurred early and disappeared.

And Jia Amnesty is only in the first-class general's mansion now. After Jia Mu's death, Jia's mansion will not be the Rongguo mansion, but the first-class general's mansion.

And Jia Daishan is gone, Jia's mansion does not say that a lot of royal rewards are lost every year, and many hidden incomes of officials are also beautiful, so they can only live on the Zhuangzi under their name, as well as land and rented shops.However, all of them in Jia's mansion are good at spending money, not to mention that the masters eat food that is not tired of fine food, and even the maids in the mansion are raised as deputy ladies. .

Throwing money away like this, and not being good at management, the current Rongguo Mansion is no longer the same. It has been reduced to a third-rate noble in the capital. If it continues like this, if no one comes out to support it, it will slowly decline.

No power, not much money, and the already thinning public account, even with the support of the nearby Ningguo Mansion, it is far from enough.

Of course, Jia She is aware of the whole family. They finally moved the property left by the Lin family. Even when they brought back his sister's dowry, there might not be much left. Looking at the ornaments in the Grand View Garden, many of them were bought by his father with great effort. In exchange for the wedding things prepared for the younger sister.

Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty became annoyed. You said that the Lin family's money was spent as soon as it was used. After all, when his brother-in-law brought the things, he knew from the bottom of his heart that it was unrealistic to leave it to his daughter.It's just that he never thought that his daughter would never get anything, and even the agreed marriage might be voided.

Baoyu doesn't marry anyone. Since he wants to use the family property, he should marry the person. That's it. This way, he can use it with peace of mind. It's not like now. When he heard that the Lin family came, he panicked. Anyway, he is not like him. This mother-in-law is the same, with good concentration.

While Jia Amnesty was slandering her heart, Mother Jia also read the greeting post, and said a little unhappy: "It's just a Jinshi with no foundation, so it's worth your fear. Besides, we got Ruhai's entrustment, and that girl Daiyu My granddaughter, I love her so much, who can pass me by. Go, let me invite someone in."

What Jia Amnesty could say, he had no choice but to hire someone.Anyway, he didn't care about it, and he could do whatever the old lady liked.

And Lin Zizhen was invited into Rongxi Hall soon.

As soon as you enter Jia's mansion, you can really see the wealth and honor of high-ranking noble families in this era. This courtyard alone occupies half of the street, which is comparable to the current Sibeile mansion.

Jia's mansion is beautiful, but Lin Zizhen doesn't like it very much. There are too many servants, and there are not many rules. Lin Zizhen didn't like it very much when people knelt down to salute him at every turn, and always felt that his own life would be shortened.

What he said about Jia's mansion is not very well-regulated, but more of a phenomenon of impoliteness. Holding embroidered handkerchiefs together, laughing and laughing, and smiling coquettishly and shyly from time to time.

Anyway, Lin Zi really didn't like this feeling.

He quickened his pace and entered Rongxi Hall.

I saw that in the room, besides Jia's mother, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were also there.After seeing the ceremony, Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, Lin Zi really looked so good, even better than her deceased son-in-law, Lin Ruhai when he was young.Looking at this young junior, Jia Mula started chatting, and inquired about the real situation of Lin Zi.

Knowing that he is the only one in the Lin family in Beijing, he was relieved, and knowing that Lin Zizhen is now a widower with a son, his heart suddenly moved, she has two granddaughters under her knees.

Mother Jia, who had changed her mind, became more affectionate towards Lin Zizhen at this moment, "As expected of a child of the Lin family, he came out of a scholarly family, look at his temperament, and he was a high school scholar at a young age. Qilinzi of the Lin family, since he is a member of Ruhai's family, if you don't mind, please call me aunt."

"The old lady praised me, but it was just a fluke. I took the liberty to come to the door in a hurry. But when my cousin was there, he not only took care of me from time to time, but also taught me for a while. Take care of my niece, although I also know that my niece is with you, and I will definitely not lose money, but as an uncle, I must miss it. I hope to see my niece when I come here this time."

Lin Zizhen didn't come here today to chat, and he didn't want to waste energy on Tai Chi. He hoped to meet the legendary sister Lin, mainly in the Dream of the Red Chamber. His niece was not in good health and passed away at a young age. up.

As for taking people away directly, this is unrealistic. Even if he took out the patriarch's letter, he was sure that the Jia family would not let people go easily, and even sister Lin would not choose his side. After all, a stranger The uncle of the family, and the grandmother who has been with me for a long time, the choice is clear at a glance.

The purpose of Lin Zizhen's visit this time is to let Sister Lin know that she is not alone. Even without her parents, she still has relatives she can rely on. As an orphan, there is no one who can experience the feeling of being helpless .

What's more, as a woman in this era, Sister Lin can only rely on others for the rest of her life. Unlike in modern times, it is really impossible. She can still find a job and support herself. Although it is more difficult, at least she has the opportunity to control her own destiny.

Therefore, this is also why, Sister Lin takes the relationship between her and Jia Baoyu so seriously, knowing that after Jia Baoyu ordered Xue Baochai, she vomited blood and died in such despair.

Mother Jia faced Lin Zi with a really straight ball, but it was not easy to refuse. He neither directly said that he wanted to pick him up, nor asked about the property of the Lin family, so it was not easy for them to refuse, and she even moved her mind to promise a granddaughter. If he went out, he might be able to change to a senior official who was in the third rank like Lin Ruhai back then.

I would like to be a good person, so I hurriedly asked someone to call Miss Biao over.

On the other hand, Jia Zheng started to talk to Lin Zizhen. He likes to talk to all scholars, but he looks like an elder who likes to be a teacher. Lin Zizhen has seen many such people, but he really can't like it. As long as his views are different from those in the book, he will start to stand on a high ground and condemn you as if he has caught your handle.

It can be seen that this is a rather pedantic person who reads books, regards the knowledge in books as the standard but does not make sense, is inflexible, and does not care about other people's feelings.

Lin Zizhen talked to him for a while, seeing the man swearing at Fang Qiu and pointing Jiangshan, the saliva flew on him a few times, he couldn't help but move his body, don't drink this tea, it's a pity that it's better Biluochun.

Here, talking about antiques and gold stones with Jia She, who is lazy next to him, calmly, although he doesn't move, but listening to Jia She talk about interesting stories and how to identify antiques is much better than listening to someone teach him .

Most likely he is also a layman, and he doesn't like what he says very much, and he is immediately refuted by others, and he still catches the lesson of chasing after him.

As for the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lin Daiyu heard the news from Pearl from the yard of her grandmother, and while she was busy asking Zijuan and Xueyan to comb her hair and change her formal clothes, her heart began to beat. She was in poor health when she was a child and was always detained in the yard. She didn't know much about the relatives of the Lin family clan. The only clan uncle she knew was a hurried meeting in the Lin family's yard after her father passed away, but she didn't have much memory.

But she was also happy when relatives came to see her from afar.

Seeing that Zijuan took out white, blue and green embroidered dresses for a long time, most of them were her favorites in the past, but now Daiyu was not very satisfied, but rummaged through the box and picked out a set of moon white dresses for herself. The jacket is a pearl powder short vest, and a red crepe skirt with red flowers is worn underneath.

The people who set it off are also a little more lively. Looking at the people who have added a lot of color in the mirror, Daiyu is also a little satisfied.She also didn't want her uncle who kindly came to see her to worry about her.

Zijuan next to her is rarely in a good mood when she sees Daiyu. She hasn't been so happy for a long time because of Baoyu's affairs in the mansion. After a few words, a group of people came to Rongxi Hall.

A thirteen-year-old girl doesn't need any frail and pitiful beauty, but more of the carefree liveliness that this age needs.
