The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Daiyu Bingxue is smart, so she naturally knows that there must be some reason for her elder brother's behavior, but she is used to what her elder brother does is right, and she doesn't ask too many questions. Tilting his head, he learned from him what was said in the palace today, but skipped Jingrou's part, and just said: "I saw everyone today except Concubine Xiande, it really makes people unable to take their eyes off."

Colorful, those women who have been wives and mothers for many years still maintain their delicate faces, just one by one, like the most exquisite porcelain, without a single flaw, sitting there well-behaved, maintaining a rigid, just right smiling, speaking cautiously, perhaps with a hint of mystery in it.

No matter how beautiful and beautiful these women are, how many people can see them?

Of course Daiyu knew about Rong Jia. When she first met her, the immature little cousin with baby fat and who looked more like a younger brother saluted her with modesty and caution, not like facing Rong Jia. It depends on everyone's impatience.Afterwards, men and women were different, and the Lin family's tutors did not let her see the rules of foreign men all the time, but once in her brother's study, before she had time to avoid seeing him, she vaguely heard him say that the Rongguo Mansion was not good, but afterward, she still didn't think it was wrong. What, Rong Jia apologized four or five times, and even wrote a letter, but Lin Mo stopped her and scolded her, but this courtesy is not bad.

It was only today that she suddenly realized that it was not an easy task to ask Rong Jia to agree to Lin Mo's "no concubine", and how important this promise was to a woman.

Even if there are thousands of kindness and wonderfulness, it is not enough for one person to treat each other sincerely. After the years are like water, the two hearts depend on each other and there is no other person.

"It's late, I'll go see your sister-in-law." Lin Mo talked with her for a while, and then went to see Jing Xian.

In any case, she was his wife, the woman who would accompany him for the rest of his life if nothing happened.Even though he was the head of the family, he said what he said, and he still wanted to tell her about some things.

Kong Jingxian has become sleepy more and more recently, but fortunately the baby in her womb is very well-behaved, so she doesn't suffer much from cramps and night sweats.Lin Mo is looking forward to the eldest son, and she is also careful. The doctor of Shanrentang lives in the Jingyuan Hou Mansion and is always there on call. Even the nurses and midwives who serve are arranged early to make sure everything is safe.The queen also sent a nanny by her side, and told her to serve her carefully, and if there was a mistake, she would never let her go.So in the past few days, her complexion has become more rosy, better than when she was a girl.Lin Mo came over, first joked with her, and then said, "I have something to tell you."

Jing Xian looked left and right, and said to Xi'er: "You guys bring the red rice porridge and chicken marrow bamboo shoots to the uncle today, he must be focusing on drinking and talking when he is having dinner in the palace today, why not?" It’s really filling—it’ll be delivered when it’s hot.”

Xi'er apologized and said with a smile: "This servant is really stupid." Knowing that his wife and his wife had something to say, she also called out the little girls in the room and asked them to serve outside the tent.

"I thought about it, and I don't know what the uncle can say to me. Although there are many things to do during the New Year, my sister is capable. Today, I will go to the banquet, and you two will go together and come back together. It's not like Something happened. So which girl did the uncle take a fancy to?" Jingxian asked.

Lin Mo really didn't have anything to tell her, except for the housework.The Lin family has an ancestral precept that a concubine can only be taken after a wife who has been married for ten years and has no children, but they did not insist that the men should not leave the first person in the room.Even Lin Qing, there was also a Tongfang in the room earlier, but he respected Lin Baishi and never left a concubine.What's more, there is a precedent for a pregnant woman to put someone in her husband's room. Earlier, Lin Mo said no, but after a few months, he is a piece of wood, so he should be tired of it.It's just that she still knows to tell her, but she doesn't know whether to be angry or laugh for a moment.

"Not really—but it's almost far away." Lin Mo said.

Jingxian felt a chill in her heart: "Which girl do you have a crush on?"

If it is someone with status, it will be a trouble.Lin Mo was well appreciated by the emperor and empress. The assassination last time was left alone. The emperor has no explanation yet. Would he want to reward someone?

"It's more difficult than our girls. He came from a prince."

Jingxian was startled when she heard this, but calmed down.

"What is Jing Ning thinking?" After all, it was his son's mother, Lin Mo still wanted to hear her opinion.If she insisted on objecting...he wouldn't cut off his relationship with Shui Rong, but he would be careful not to irritate her, especially not to ask Shui Rong to come to the house to obstruct his wife's face.

Jingxian frowned, and raised her voice, "Que'er, today's rouge rose cake is also good, and send some to the girl with rock sugar bird's nest. Although she eats little, I'm afraid there will be nothing to eat in the palace."

Magpie answered outside.

Lin Mo knew that she didn't want to talk about it, so she sighed in her heart, but heard her wife say: "I didn't know what to say at the moment, what I think now, but I was relieved. Thinking about it, I'm missing a lot Less troublesome things. But I'm afraid you will need more troubles?"

Lin Mo said, "I haven't thought about this yet."

"If you don't think about it in advance, you're not like the uncle." Jingxian said, "Sister Zhou and I hit it off right away. I used to think that Sister Zhou was pitiful. Since the uncle has appointed her daughter to be his daughter-in-law, I won't be a wicked mother-in-law in the future." , that’s all. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with me. You men are serious, and it’s not something that I, a woman, should talk about.”

She didn't say whether she was happy or not, but she called this romantic move a "political matter", which was a tacit consent, and also hinted at her status, which was quite rare.

Lin Mo laughed.

Xi'er brought up two boxes at the right time, and when she opened it, it was the red rice porridge and chicken marrow bamboo shoots that Jingxian had mentioned, as well as a basket of lotus root starch osmanthus cake, a cup of sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup, and a plate of emerald stuffed vegetables.She brought the bowl and chopsticks to Lin Mo, and first handed him a sober stone to hangover.

"Your grandma won't eat some?"

Xi'er replied: "Grandma will take medicine soon."

"You have worked hard." Lin Mo said to Jing Xian.

Jingxian said: "It's okay, I've been looking forward to him for a long time. But it's only a few months."

Although Xiu Lang is also cute and pitiful, his own flesh and blood is different after all.Jing Xian would not really put Xiu Lang aside and ignore him, but if she said from the bottom of her heart that she would treat the two children exactly the same in the future, she would feel a little guilty.Naturally, there will be no difference in the cost of food and clothing, but of course the degree of care is different.Only after Jing Xian became a mother herself did she realize how difficult it is for Lin Qing and Lin Bai to raise Lin Mo as if they were their own sons, and to divide the family property as the eldest son.

Lin Mo didn't use the sober stone either. After rinsing his mouth, he took a few sips of porridge with side dishes, put down his chopsticks, and called Xi'er: "Give some to the women who are watching the night outside. For hot soup and porridge, tell them to warm up their bodies, it’s not easy in the cold weather.”

Xi'er knew his temper, so she responded, but took the dishes back, and told the little girl below to change the dishes and send them to the women in the garden.

Jingxian said: "You know how to pretend to be a good person with my things."

"Isn't it your girl who sent it?" Lin Mo said, "I'm in my own house, and I still need to be a good person?" In Jingyuanhou's mansion, he is the absolute authority, and he really says what he says, let alone slaves who dare to bully the master. Even those who violated the rules would have been dismissed long ago.In this capital, the slaves of respectable families are probably even more domineering than ordinary small families, but the Lin family is different from other families.It's just that even if the slave complains, there's nothing he can do about it.Especially this year, my uncle gave the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty like a thunder.It's just that he didn't move some people for the time being, so why should he be afraid of the arrogant servants in the family?Don't tell him that those who beat the dog look at the owner's face. When he got to the bottom of it, the owner dared to pull out the teeth.

But, just like Shui Rong said, in this officialdom, where is it true that no penny has been confiscated?It was him, Lin Mo, who had so few ordinary human relationships!Sometimes it's just a matter of opening and closing your eyes.But he is not afraid to do a few more things like killing chickens and monkeys.

Jingxian said: "It's up to you." Then she said again, "In this case, sister Zhou's two daughters, you should settle down earlier."

"You also have to wait for our child to be born, don't you? Tell Xiu Lang?"

Jing Xian considered again.

Lin Mo was about to help her fall asleep, so she said, "You can tell Xiu Lang."

Lin Mo was stunned.

"Let me think about it carefully. When I promised you back then, you were just the adopted son of the Lin family. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. It's just that what kind of husband we invite for our children is naturally Xiu Lang's husband." Of course he won't grow crooked. Who will be more promising in the future, even if I'm more selfish, I won't say it right now. According to Xiu Lang, he is also our son, and he married into sister Zhou's family. It should be enough."

Back then, Lin Mo was only the eldest son of the Lin family, so he also went to marry the daughter of the Concubine family. Now, the son of Marquis Jingyuan is worthy enough to be the county head of the Beijing Palace.

Lin Mo let out a "huh".

Jingxian said: "Uncle, think about it carefully."

"There is no need to worry. We also need to discuss with the Beijing Palace. What's more, I have too much involvement with their Palace, which is more eye-catching."

Jingxian almost wanted to laugh out loud, was he afraid of getting too involved with Shui Rong?It's just that I didn't strip the face of the head of the family: "Master, you are in-laws with the King of Beijing, and one son married his daughter, and married two sons. What's the difference?"

Lin Mo smiled: "I'm afraid my in-laws will be too arrogant because of this."
