The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

After Tanchun went around, she couldn't hide it from Mrs. Wang when she arrived. She was so angry that she said to Aunt Xue: "I don't even know what the third girl is busy with all day long. If she wants to take care of the house, it's okay for her to rent out the garden." Forget it, she wanted to save money, but she actually started from her own brother and nephew, and she wanted to cut expenses and deduct monthly money. Fortunately, I took money to subsidize it, otherwise I don’t know what kind of trouble the people will make. Last time The Lin family is so shameless, she just doesn't want to think about us, but also think about the face of the old ancestor. The old ancestor is so old, he was scared to death in the palace that day, and she still sticks to the Lin family's Lin's ass .”

Aunt Xue coughed dryly: "You can't say that, visiting the girl is also for brother-in-law's career."

"Heh!" Mrs. Wang said, "No one else knows, and you don't know, my sister? That boy Lin is a wolf, and he is willing to go down if you give him some steps? I only know that my elder brother recommends someone to be an official. The Ministry of Officials can manage the country’s procedures, but how can he be in charge of the Ministry of Households? He is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, and he can’t cover the sky with just one hand.”

Ever since Baochai appointed King Yun, Aunt Xue's heart has fallen to the ground, but at this moment she said something sincerely: "Sister, let me tell you, don't care what the origin of that Lin boy is, he is a young man at this age. It's not easy to mess with the servant of the household department. Look at the princes and concubines, they are all polite to their families, so you should bear with it a little bit, and don't say that his temper is definitely going to lose power now. He really has lost power. Step on him any way you want." She was afraid of Wang Ziteng, the eldest brother, but for the sake of her children, she also knew that she must have a good relationship with her mother's family.It's just that the prince is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more taboos. She took Xue Pan and Baochai to pay her respects, but he actually took out Xue Pan's old saying of beating people to death and scolded him. Helping to persuasion, he just said: "Bao girl, you are going to Yunjun Wangfu in the future, I can't control you anymore." Aunt Xue was so wronged that she shed tears, but she didn't dare to really talk back to her brother.

It was Baochai who came back to persuade her: "Why is mother crying? Uncle is angry for our own good. If we were not his own nephews, what should we do, why would he be angry? Mother thought, uncle is now a first-rank official, I When I go to the palace in the future, no one can underestimate me. It doesn’t matter how kind my uncle is to us, he is our reliance in Beijing!” Aunt Xue was a person who had no opinions, she would listen to what her daughter said, think carefully I thought it was true, so I swallowed this breath, but now Xue Pan is confident that he is going to be the eldest brother-in-law of the prince, so I will not mention how he can't understand his uncle's behavior and how he holds his breath.

Mrs. Wang blamed Tanchun, but it was not entirely because of her actions that refuted her face.She has always known that in this deep house and compound, it is best to firmly grasp the power of managing the family.Otherwise, just like Mrs. Xing, who tried her best to sting, but couldn't save two silver coins, and even looked down on the servants below.It turned out that Sister Feng only followed her lead, and she was also her niece in her natal family, so she was at ease, but for some reason, Sister Feng broke up with her later, and she didn't let go of her profits, and burned the IOU, so she just pretended it was nothing and returned it. She moved out to live with Mrs. Xing, but this was a trick after all, and she didn't dare to fight against Sister Feng openly.Now is a good opportunity, since Sister Feng has Jia Wei, she doesn't care too much, but she has been in charge of the family affairs for a while, and she doesn't want to offend people's bad reputation, and she doesn't want to make up for it herself. Ill, I asked Li Wan and Tanchun to go.

Both of them are liked by the old lady, and Jia's mother also said: "It's very appropriate."

I specially asked two people to be in charge of the house, in order to keep each other in check, so that one person does not become bigger. Who knows whether Li Wan is really stupid or fake shrewd, just sitting there just to pretend to be her Bodhisattva grandmother, but on the contrary It is Tanchun, a girl who has not left the cabinet, who takes care of internal and external affairs.She speaks and does things frankly, and she is not afraid of offending people, which made many people admire her for a while.It's just that Mrs. Wang is a little scared. Tanchun gave Aunt Zhao shame on the first day she took office. She is a little relieved, but after a long time, what if this girl really caused a storm?

She didn't wait for her to think about whether Tanchun would be able to make a big fuss, and she really made a big fuss--the gift to the Lin family didn't let her know the news at all, and she went directly to Jiamu's to open a warehouse, and then went to the Shi family. Sent it.The slightest verbal dispute was not wasted.When she got the news, the Lin family had already returned the gift to the Shi family, and the Shi family had sent back to the Jia family.

Mrs. Wang was very angry, but Jia Mu told her to go there, so she had to pretend she didn't know anything, but asked Aunt Xue to go with her to support the situation.

When Jia's mother came in, she was very polite to Aunt Xue. When she saw Mrs. Wang, she didn't mention Tanchun's self-assertion. Yu'er's mother is my own daughter. Now that the Lin family has returned the gift, why can't I understand?"

The Lin family returned gifts one by one according to the share sent by the historian, but in the end, there was an extra picture of "Going back and coming", and the rest was the sentence "Our uncle didn't say anything." .

This made Jia's mother unable to understand.

Baoyu used to play with Jia's mother. Now the second sister is waiting to be married, and the third sister and Zhu's sister-in-law have no time to manage the family. Baochai is also called Yunjun Wang. Even Xiangyun also talked about him, although The wedding date hasn't been set yet, and it's not as good as my former sister-in-law.He and Xichun are the only ones in the garden who have free time, but Xichun is withdrawn and always clings to Miaoyu, not to mention the poetry club, even if everyone gathers together, they don't have the time.

Now when he saw this painting, he said: "Wealth is not my wish, and the imperial home is beyond expectation. Brother Lin is not like him when he says such words."

But Tanchun said: "Maybe it's the sentence in it, 'please the relatives' love words, and play the piano and books to relieve worries'? I'm only looking forward to these words now, and I don't want to hear anything else."

Mother Jia laughed and said, "Anyway, it's always a good thing if they return the gift. Mr. Wang is right. Brother Lin is on the other side of the household department, eating the imperial tomb and doing business. There are many rules and regulations about public affairs. If he is really sincere and can't get along with our family, it's fine. As long as he doesn't stop me, Zheng'er can get this job. Yu'er is not going to accompany you."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "How dare you bother the old lady, I was reckless in that matter."

Mother Jia took a deep look, but said nothing unnecessary.

Daiyu took a piece of writing from Lin Mo's storeroom. Although her brother was always generous, she wanted to talk to him. She mentioned it to Jingxian first, but Jingxian really didn't take it to heart: "What is there in his storeroom? You have everything, even if you tell him, he may not remember that you have it, but you, whatever you fancy, just take it away." Now Daiyu's marriage is also confirmed, and the two families have formally engaged Now, the Rong family is choosing a date to hire, and it's time to pack up Daiyu's dowry.

But Daiyu said: "I'd better tell him about my brother's things."

It's not too late for Lin Mo to come back these days.The Ministry of Households can't really clean up the entire court situation, first catch a few big heads, and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys.Daiyu said to him: "I'm going to return the gift to Hou Zhongjing's family today. I took a picture from my brother's storeroom." Who knew that Lin Mo said: "Wen Dakan's "Going Back"? ?”

Daiyu wondered: "My brother is really good at predicting things like a god!"

"I can't predict things like a god, I just know that you are so careful." Lin Mo smiled, "Where are your grandparents and uncles over there, and you are soft-hearted, how can you be willing to see them really?" It has fallen. Wang Ziteng has returned from exile, and has been promoted again and again. Now he is a cabinet minister, a first-rank official. Anyone who sees him has to call him Xiangye. Now I have found a model for officials in all provinces, and there is a vacancy for him. Those who came back from the post of inspector in nine provinces naturally wanted to recommend some capable ministers to the emperor. The four of them are connected with each other, and the fat water will not go to outsiders' fields. It's just that the age and qualifications are suitable. Just your second uncle. He is a sour literati who can only read dead books. He can't even raise his son well. It can be seen that he doesn't care about others. Such a person should be let out and fight with others. If you really do some real work, you might be able to cause a catastrophe of ransacking your family and exterminating your family! You send them this picture to remind them not to make those plans, it's just like you."

Daiyu really didn't think about it so much, she just wanted to persuade her grandmother not to put so much emphasis on fame and wealth, and to be so busy, she didn't understand anything about the court, but after listening to what her brother said, she realized that she Is it wrong?

"I just hope my grandmother can understand." She sighed.

Lin Mo was cold-hearted, and the four families were wary of him, fearing that he would obstruct Jia Zheng's release from abroad, they were really careless.Does he need to obstruct this kind of thing?What position did he stand in the way?He fought against the Jia family first because he was afraid that they would be hurt when the Jia family tried to die. Now that the Jia Lin family has nothing to do with them, he has nothing to do with chasing after him and trying to kill them all. It doesn't look like it to others.Besides, the Jia family took this errand as a life-saving straw, but they didn't know the origin of it.Those vacant seats, which ones are clean?There are a bunch of bad things behind him waiting to be dealt with.

But he didn't stop him, as a gesture of favor, shouldn't Wang Xiang also show something?

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, and seeing Daiyu passing the dinner, he said, "Rong Jia is going to transfer to the etiquette department."

Daiyu lowered her head, pursed her lips and said, "Brother, will you have dinner with sister-in-law today?"

"Don't you ask me how I know?"

Daiyu stomped her feet and said, "Brother, I'm so sorry! You didn't teach me back then? A man is a man, a woman is a woman. In troubled times, there are women who don't give way to men. In a peaceful and prosperous world, it's okay for a woman to do her best. I care about it." Heaven governs the earth, governs the obedience of the subordinates at home, manages whether there is a shortage of things in the warehouse, manages the communication between relatives, and manages Xiulang and other children, who cares how you are an official!"

Lin Mo clapped his hands and laughed.

Fortunately, he is not too wimpy, and wants Daiyu to run around and rack her brains for the family business like those smart and handsome girls in Jia's mansion.
