The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

As expected, Jingxian was heartbroken, since she came to Beijing, she became very friendly with Zhou Hui, especially after seeing Miaoyu was very disappointed, she felt that Zhou Hui's neither resentment nor hatred is quite commendable.And Zhou Hui is at ease, obviously in such an environment, her brothers and sisters-in-law have forgotten her, and she looks like an invisible person in He Hezhou's house, but she has no complaints and smiles every day.Later, when she became the princess of Beijing, she didn't even think about taking revenge on her brother and sister-in-law. This kind of disposition is quite rare.

Jingxian herself is a person who has one thing to say and one thing to say, and if someone despises her, she must say it back, but she also values ​​and appreciates a tolerant person like Zhou Hui.

But such a rare woman went on the road so alone, leaving two daughters behind, and she didn't know what the future would be.

Lin Mo persuaded: "You don't have to think too much, the daughter she left behind, I am not destined to be the daughter-in-law of our family? You will treat the daughter-in-law better in the future, and the mother-in-law is not much worse than your own mother, so you are worthy of the years you spent with her. We have been friends for several years." He said while saying, "Go into the house, although there is no wind in the pavilion, it is cold after all, is there any snow today for you to reward you for painting, even if you want to write two poems to mourn your old friend, you have to Just have a thought."

Daiyu also said: "I went to the Beijing Palace today, but I didn't see the two girls in her family. I just saw that the concubine is kind and amiable. From what she said, it doesn't look like the Prince of Beijing is going to rejoin the palace immediately. Yes, but you don’t have to worry too much about Sister Zhou’s daughter.” She stepped forward to support Jingxian and said, “If sister-in-law still misses Sister Zhou, why not write a sacrificial manuscript, although the manuscript of the daughter in the boudoir cannot be circulated, but keep it for yourself. Look, let the daughters left to sister Zhou know that there are still people who miss their mother."

Daiyu said this from the bottom of her heart. When she arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, everyone thought of her mother, but what she was talking about was the wealth of Miss Min back then, the ten-mile red makeup who married into the Lin family, and the grandeur at home back then. People mention mother's talent, her kindness, and her beauty.

She thought that if Zhou Hui's daughter married into the Lin family in the future, she would be happy to hear that Jing Xian still missed her mother.

Jing Xian thought for a while, but calmed down.

Both siblings breathed a sigh of relief.

"I saw a car at Sanmen just now, did someone bring a gift?" Lin Mo asked casually.

Daiyu replied: "The New Year's ceremony is from the historian."

"Although we have some friendship with historians, we don't want to give New Year's gifts just after the twelfth lunar month. We didn't exchange New Year's gifts with their family in previous years, right? What's going on this year?" Lin Moxiao asked, "Their family is a family Shuanghou, now that he has joined the Concubine of Wei's family, there should be no need to make friends with us. The four great families have passed down for several generations, and it is uncertain. After we broke up with the Jia family, only the Wang family has the courage to come and follow us. Let's move around. What's going on here?"

When Daiyu heard this, she also felt that something was wrong, so she called the woman in charge, "Is the person who sent the gift from the historian still here today?"

"Take them to drink." The manager said.

"You go and rest." Lin Mo raised his head and said, "It's so cold, there's nothing to worry about. They give us gifts, and we just return a copy as usual. If they have a purpose, they always come here Let’s talk about it, otherwise we don’t know what they are going to do with the gift, and they are not wasting money? Let me see the gift list.”

Daiyu smiled slightly, and said to the mother-in-law, "Bring it to brother." As a result, when she saw the list, even she let out a "huh".Lin Mo asked, "Haven't you read the list yet?" Daiyu said, "This morning I was planning to go to the Beijing Prince's Palace to pay homage, and I prepared the road sacrifices and preparations with my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is in the mood today, I don't have the mood to read these gift lists. I even took a casual look at the women, then sent someone to give them money, and told them to drink."

"What's wrong with this list?"

"This gift is exactly the same as the gift I gave to Rongguo Mansion in Beijing every year when my mother was there." Daiyu said, "My mother always told me that my grandmother was born in a noble family. They are all novel and unique, she doesn't even eat Lu'an tea, she only drinks Laojunmei, so the gifts to Rongguo Mansion, not to mention the most expensive and famous ones, are also the most exquisite. I was envious of one of them when I was young. A set of jade ware carved with lotus lace. Fine silk and satin. The proportions of jade, porcelain, antiques, rare books, food and clothing are all the same.”

"Oh!" Lin Mo said, "It turned out to be sent for the Rongguo Mansion. Let me just say, the four great families have been around for so many years, even if there is a gap now, they will not really be completely broken. Especially, They really are both prosperous and prosperous. Even if Wang Ziteng is so powerful now, he dares to sing against the Rongguo Mansion on the small matter of love for his children. Just watch, if I say in the court tomorrow, Rongguo Mansion No, they owe money to the state treasury and won't pay it back, and their youngest son is occupying the main hall where Xijue's elder brother should live, regardless of age, how Wang Ziteng helped the Rongguo Mansion justify it."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't tell me that."

"What do you mean they came out?" Lin Mo asked.

"It reminds me of my mother." Daiyu said, "Maybe that's why." Although she felt that she had an extra godmother, this godmother was nothing more than a queen, and she was no different from begging others, but other People don't seem to think so, and there are more flattering people around than before.

"The Jia family has always been proud and arrogant. How could they be willing to come down when we scorned their face so much before?" Lin Mo asked strangely, "I'd like to ask the Shi family to take this trip. Although the old lady is a good person, it may not be If you are willing to do so, who is the grandma in charge of their family now?"

"Is Sister Feng still in Wang's house?" Daiyu asked, "Is it sister-in-law?"

"It's that grandma Zhu? The daughter of the Imperial College's Jijiu, a well-known righteous woman. Although I haven't seen her much, I haven't heard of anything other than her righteous name. It can be seen that she is a rite. This kind of person, if you want her to have the heart to make friends with us, I believe it. You say she has this intention, wants the historian to send things, and uses your longing for your mother-if she has this ability, she will be old The wife's eccentricity won't be Lian's second sister-in-law in charge, right?"

Daiyu said: "Then only my grandmother has the ability."

Lin Mo asked her with a smile: "You don't want to believe that there is a girl in Jia's family who is as capable as you?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled.

"They want to befriend us, brother."

"Return the gift to the historian, and return it according to the amount of the gift. Don't say anything extra, just pretend that you don't understand--forget it, you can't understand, just return the gift in the name of your sister-in-law." He rubbed his head. , "When I sent you into the palace that day, I heard a few young eunuchs chewing their tongues, and the Jia family started playing dead again. Let's ignore this."

Daiyu hesitated, "Isn't that bad?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Lin Mo said, "Could it be that I'm excited to go over now and say that our two families have reconciled as before and will benefit each other in the future, so their family really believes us?"

Daiyu looked at him and stopped talking. Lin Mo said, "I know you think I'm cruel. Don't I know it myself?"

Daiyu said: "You are cruel, but I admit it."

"There are many people in the world who are more ruthless than me, but at least I'm still not ruthless." Lin Mo nodded her nose, "Come on, I'll ask the historian's mother-in-law."

To do this kind of thing, the people who come here are naturally competent historians. The Lin family has always been generous and generous, and the women who came to give gifts have settled down well. Lin Ke's family personally brought people to accompany them to drink and play cards. She was bluffed and hurriedly wanted to hide the cards, Lin Mo smiled, and Linge hurriedly said: "Mom, why don't you give up your seat to the uncle."

The mothers-in-law of the Shi family also stood up quickly and said hello to Uncle Lin. Our wife and girl often miss Grandma Lin and the girl, but now that the girl is getting more and more developed, Uncle Lin can’t think of our wife, right? .

Listening to the song: "What the mothers said, if the uncle sends me to the historian's house, I will definitely not say such unflattering words when I see Hou Baoling and the others."

Several women apologized and said with a smile: "How can it be compared to girls who are smart, and are often around men, and have a lot of knowledge. We are clumsy and have no skills."

Lingge smiled and said: "Call me girl, you have offended our uncle again. There are no rules in this world, I am just a servant, you take me seriously, but put our uncle aside, be careful to go back and protect Concubine Linghou said to you."

"Concubine Baoling was released with Marquis Baoling, and now the one in Beijing is Concubine Zhongjinghou." Lin Mo reminded, "I just said that this kind of thing is called Yunchulai, and you just want to join in the fun."

Lingge said: "I know that the uncle has lost Wen Ge, so I just want to find Wen Ge's younger sister to play with. We people, the uncle doesn't care about it. It's just, this Yunchu belongs to the third master after all. You just use it so casually, isn’t it good?” Lin Mo smiled: “What are you talking about? You have too many good days, and you want me to call your mother to take you back to live a better life?”

Listening to the song: "Okay, okay, let's not talk."

The mother-in-law of the Shi family thought, how can the uncle of the Lin family and the maidservants be the same as those of the Jia family?It's not big or small, but the maids are sincere and show no fear, except for the Jia family, she has never seen such a thing.These slaves are always more valuable the longer they work, so these women are more respectable than some little girls, just the Jia family, no big or small.

Lin Ke's family glared at Linge: "It's not big or small, and I want to be beaten again. Next year, find a young man to match you out."

The Shi family woman said: "Master Lin, we will go back in a while, how should we go back to our Concubine Hou?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Just say, Lord Lin Hou didn't say anything."
