The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Jia Lian went to pick up Sister Feng, but there was really nothing he could do. The Chinese New Year was coming in a few days, and the daughter-in-law was really at her natal family, and the face of the two families was lost. I really watched my son and daughter separate from me.Not to mention that after the third sister's incident, even Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing also criticized the second sister, saying: "I don't know how their family's family education is, but being a younger sister is so shameless, how can my elder sister be strong?" Where are you going?" The Zhang family didn't know if they were instigated by someone, so they just clamored to sue the Jia family for robbing the women, which made him burnt out.

Ask the yamen to suppress this matter, but the old ghost is hesitant. Jia Lian knows it well, and it is probably the Wang family who contributed.But Jia Amnesty said: "My in-laws do this, presumably because they expect you to accuse me of a crime and accompany me. Why don't you go? Are you tight?" Jia Lian didn't dare not listen, so she had to pack up a generous gift and come to the door to accuse her.

It's just that Sister Feng avoided seeing him, and even Shishi just said a few words before evading something, called Wang Ren out to talk with him, and left by herself.That Wang Ren is more entertaining than Jia Lian, and the two hit it off right away, setting up a table of food and wine, drinking and complaining.Wang Ren already felt that Wang Ziteng favored Sister Feng, and now that Sister Feng was also helping Wang Ziteng to control him, he became more and more annoyed, and wished to ask Jia Lian to take her away quickly.

Hearing Jia Lian's embarrassment, he took it very seriously: "You don't know that a woman is the most hateful thing in the world. She doesn't know how to do things all day long, she only spends money, and every day she says that she has worked hard. What's wrong with her? , so I cried as if I killed her, and it was very annoying." Jia Lian is an honest person, and if he said that Sister Feng didn't do anything, he would still feel guilty: "I don't mention what you said, it's just men in the world, how many can there be?" With one heart and one mind? We have worked hard in every possible way, and we don't ask them to be gentle and considerate, so we should make things difficult elsewhere, right? I can't serve her happily, so I find someone to help her, but I still don't agree!"

But Wang Ren thought of something else: "Is your outer room really so beautiful, smart, gentle and careful?"

"It's not a concubine!" Jia Lian said, "It was originally received at home, but because my uncle is gone and my family is filial piety, I dare not ask her to come through the house. It was originally placed in the garden, but the master broke up and separated. Even my sister doesn't go out in the garden, and I don't have the face to put her in, so I can only put her outside first. Sooner or later, she will come in."

But Wang Ren was thinking in his heart, thinking about the reputation of the You family sisters, he didn't know what kind of heavenly fragrance and national beauty they were, and seeing Jia Lian's seriousness, his heart was itching more and more, and he wished he could see it too. .

Jia Lian was still drinking to himself, not knowing that his unintentional words had caused Sister You a lot of trouble.

Prince Teng came back after dark, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time. After changing his clothes, he was about to go to the palace for a banquet. When he saw Jia Lian, he smiled politely: "Lian'er is here. Coincidentally, go back and tell your second uncle, His work will probably be accomplished."

This is a great happy event. Although the two families have separated, they can't write two Jia characters in one stroke. Jia Zheng got a fat job. Jia Lian can walk and do things in Beijing with more confidence. After hearing this Thank you in a hurry.Wang Ziteng said with a smile: "Your family has a concubine sister and a cousin emperor concubine, they are all nobles, so do you need to thank me?" He said with a smile: "Isn't this the uncle of the Lin family's royal sister?"

King Yan is the youngest, but he has to go to the fief early, while King Qin is doing well in the Ministry of Households, and brothers Zhuo Ran are superior, but they have to put aside these achievements and go to the Ministry of Punishment to start from scratch.The truth of this, some people pretend not to understand, some pretend not to understand, but no matter what, it is the best opportunity for King Qi.It's just that the king of Qin is not a vegetarian, and the two side concubines are very knowledgeable, which can be regarded as a victory.

"After the new year, I won't be able to see my seventh brother." Shui Fu said meaningfully, "Marquis Jingyuan's younger sister also came to the palace today, and she will be talking with the queen mother later."

Shui Rong turned his head sideways, the curvature of his jaw was somewhat transparent: "King Qin, at the court meeting today, King Qi called Miss Lin an 'imperial sister'."

Shui Fu laughed.

Shui Rong sighed: "You don't want to part with your younger brother, so you have to compare your heart with your heart. Whatever you sow, you will get whatever fruit, this is the way of the world." He said softly, "If it's not that one who was assassinated, you can change it to someone else. Who, I'm afraid—" I didn't finish.

Sending someone to assassinate the imperial court official in broad daylight is still at the feet of the emperor. Anyone who changes this has to say that he is looking for death, especially the king of Yan is still a prince. The opportunity to ask him to defend himself is generally not given.It's just that it was Jing Yuanhou who was assassinated this time, and speculation about his life experience was rampant. If he really dealt with the prince of the dynasty for him, there would be even more people who would be afraid of him.The emperor's quiet behavior seemed to be to protect King Yan, but in the end, it was Lin Mo who protected him.

Shui Fu said: "You told me, if it made me hate him even more, what should I do?"

"Then you should have heard another rumor in Beijing."

This is a very quiet Hundred Flowers Gallery facing the water in the imperial garden. There are three steps and one painting on the wall, all of which are lifelike paintings of ladies.The moonlight is bright tonight, the beauty is beautiful, and the end is like water and flowers.Shui Fu stopped in surprise, looked at Shui Rong, and said after a long while: "Didn't Uncle Xiao Huang ignore these nonsense in the past?"

Before the words were finished, they heard sparse steps coming towards this end. The two of them kept silent in an extremely tacit understanding, and saw Lin Mo walking towards this end.He is tall and straight, but his stature is thin. Although he is dressed thickly, he still looks tall and tall, and his steps are brisk, which is indescribably pleasing to the eye. He just feels that his every move should be drawn and pasted on the wall to share the beauty of everyone. Dance is.

"My lord." He approached, and only bowed to the end, without saying which lord he was saluting, "Your Highness, Cao Shangshu said that he would toast you."

He talked and laughed at Yan Yan, and the water floated like waking up from a dream.

And Shui Rong stood watching, but when he straightened up after saluting, he pulled a half-joking, half-innocent smile at himself, and he didn't feel it wavering.How noble, how intelligent, and how pure this person is, after all, it belongs to him.

Shui Fu watched silently for a while, and said: "I should respect Mr. Cao and Marquis Jing Yuan." Then he said, "We have been away from the banquet for a long time, and my father saw it. It should be said that we don't know the etiquette. Let's go .”

He has never known what Shui Rong thinks about him for so many years.It's just that other people's family is very masculine, and it's just raising some young actors in the yard. It's better to be soluble in water, so I dare to put my mind on him.When he first noticed it, he was not without anger.Fortunately, Shui Rong didn't say anything clearly, and he didn't do any nasty transgression, so he just pretended not to know, and made good use of it. After all, the Beijing Palace has stood in the capital for nearly a hundred years, so naturally there is a reason for him.

Now, as he walked a few steps, he felt the two people walking side by side behind him, their figures gradually stacked together under the silver sand and moonlight, and he didn't know whether it was more lost, more relieved, or maybe, surprise, panic... ...All kinds of emotions were mixed together, and he didn't know what to say.

I can only think that these two people are both nobles and officials, how bold and reckless they are, and how they are not afraid of other people's eyes to do such a shocking act.

Shui Rong was happy, so he couldn't help saying a few more words: "Your sister is in the harem, aren't you worried?"

"Her sister-in-law has some skills in teaching girls." Lin Mo paced leisurely, gradually opening up the distance from the water. Fortunately, after leaving the porch, the little eunuch of Prince Qin's Mansion immediately found his master and followed him to serve her. He went, so he walked slowly with Shui Rong behind him as a matter of course.

Daiyu's etiquette is really nothing to worry about. It is rare to enter the palace, but she doesn't experience stage fright. She is quick at guessing crossword puzzles and drinking orders, and she answers fluently. She has grown up and is about to get married. She is the absolute protagonist of today's banquet.As if the queen was overjoyed, she repeatedly said, "Good girl, good daughter."On the contrary, Princess Jing Rou has always been favored, and she is not angry about Rong Jia's affairs, so she was not very happy all night.

Concubine De wondered: "What happened to you today?"

Jing Rou said: "It's just that I can't get used to it, and I'm not someone, but seems to be stronger than us." Concubine De said: "You can keep your voice down!" Jing Rou became more and more unhappy: "Even the concubine mother So, what's the point, it's been 20 years, but nothing good has happened."

Daughters of the royal family have always married late. Firstly, the emperor wanted to keep his daughter in the palace for a few more years, to be happy and share family relationships. Secondly, there were other considerations.If she was in an ordinary family, she would have become a mother at this age.Jing Yi and Princess Jing Le are peaceful, but Jing Rou is determined to pick and choose.But I heard that Daiyu answering the Queen's words: "There is nothing to do at home. My sister-in-law taught me the rhythm of painting, just play casually." Then he said: "Then why don't you come to the palace? It's just that the empress has no time, no more Concubine Yuan? Don't be afraid, she doesn't have the courage of our girls to answer every question."

Yuan Chun has been serving the Supreme Emperor these days, and is quite doted on, but the concubines have already complained, and the Empress felt ashamed and left her alone, and the Emperor also said, "Let's coax the old man first." I don't think other people look at her in the right way.Jing Rou also knew that she was Daiyu's cousin, so she asked this question.

Daiyu lowered her head: "My sister-in-law often told me that the rules in the palace are strict, and they are a model in the world. Every action and every word must be cautious, so as not to make people laugh. The empress is the master of the harem, and she is busy with affairs. How dare I bother you? Besides, I am usually timid, and when I go out with my sister-in-law and aunt, I am afraid of losing my brother's face, so I don't dare to say anything."

The queen smiled and said: "What do you have to be afraid of? You come to the palace, and the queen mother will support you."

As soon as the concubine came out, the people around were quiet for a while. Concubine Lu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The queen mother has finally got her wish, such a clever and obedient daughter, but no amount of love is enough. Girl, It's all good, Jingrou is as grand as this, and the little girl is more gentle and gentle, it's more demure."

The queen laughed and said, "Concubine De—"

Concubine De tremblingly gave her a blessing.

"Jing Rou asked, and I just remembered, why didn't you see Concubine Xian De?"

Concubine De replied: "Go back to your mother, sister Yuan said that the emperor ate two more mouthfuls of peaches yesterday, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he got up this morning. She is taking care of him."

"Concubine Xiande has made great achievements in serving the emperor. Anyone can do it for a day or two. After so many days, it is rare for her to be filial. The emperor also said that he would reward her. Let me say, this year's satin, I am the master, from Fengzao Palace Let's go first, what do you say?"

Concubine De has always been the first among concubines. In previous years, it was the empress's turn to choose her. This year, it's fine to ask someone else to snatch it. It happened to be Yuanchun. I can only blame my daughter for not being able to see clearly. Jing Routing: "My son, you should be more careful in the future, you are really spoiled by your father."

Although Jing Rou was upset, she didn't dare to speak again.

On the contrary, Daiyu told Lin Mo when she went back, but she didn't mention Jing Rou, she only said that the Queen Empress is really kind, but also majestic.

"She is a high-ranking person, so she must have such a big heart, and she must be thunderous." Lin Mo said, "What's more, she is not only the mistress of the house, she is the mistress of the entire country. Do you think it is so easy? Back then you Sister Feng, if you manage such a garden, you can say that she is amazing. There are many amazing people in this world, and you don't have to put on a face all day long to beat one another and scold that one. "

Daiyu lowered her head and said nothing.

"You don't need to learn from her. You don't have so many things going on at home." Lin Mo rubbed the top of her sister's head, accidentally twisted her bun, and tried to find a way to help her straighten it, but it became more and more messy. Pretending that nothing happened, he said, "I ate well today? Do you want to drink something more?"

Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "Okay, brother, quickly call Zijuan."

Lin Mo also laughed.

"Brother, is he in a good mood these days?"

Lin Mo thought for a while, and couldn't help but smile again: "Yes, there are happy things."
