The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

When Shui Rong returned home, he was deeply annoyed that Lin Mo could see through his own thoughts, and worried that he would use it as a threat. He hadn't thought about these things, and he even sneered at the fact that the subordinates kept pets, but he couldn't stop him from admiring Lin Mo, and he yearned for it for a long time.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he wished he could immediately tear off his virtuous king's gentle appearance and beat him up to vent his anger.Just thinking about such a thorny kid, why didn't anyone kick him hard?

Therefore, when he heard the joke about Rongguo Mansion and Lin Mo, he was in a good mood.

This is really just a joke.

After Lin Mo left that day, Mother Jia was so angry that her temples hurt, and her eyes were filled with golden light, which frightened Mrs. Wang and others to call the imperial doctor, and finally settled down. She asked the girls and Baoyu to go back to the garden to rest. I have something to say to Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Xing had given up on trying to please the old lady, so she was happy to go back to her yard to tease her elder sister.

Mother Jia sighed, "I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen someone who doesn't give face to the elders or the Rongguo Mansion so much!"

Mrs. Wang persuaded: "Why should the old lady be so angry because of him? I think that Lin boy is so ignorant of current affairs, I don't know how many people he has offended, someone will always take care of him. It's better if the third girl doesn't follow him, so as not to embarrass our family." .”

Even Zhou Rui's family cheered and added jealousy: "Isn't that right, Brother Lin doesn't know what is good or bad, and he doesn't even like the appearance of the third girl. I see who dares to marry their daughter to him and take away the face of the Rongguo Mansion!" !"

There was a stern look in Jia Mu's eyes: "Shut up! Who said that we are going to give the third girl to him? Who said that!" Her voice was old but revealed an undeniable majesty, "Whoever dares to let I heard something I shouldn't have heard, watch your skin carefully!"

Mrs. Wang and Zhou Rui's family were so tongue-tied that they dared not speak.When she returned to her own room, Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "All day long, they say they think highly of our second bedroom and first class, and ask the elders and wives to point out that they are partial. Look, there is no such thing as partiality here. Anyway, in the mansion She is the oldest, we kindly persuade her, but she just scolds if she doesn't like it. I'm already clumsy, and I can't even say a few words from my heart."

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, I'm afraid the old lady is worried about the reputation of the third young lady."

Mrs. Wang doesn't care much about Tanchun's reputation, but she has always been kind and generous, so of course she wouldn't say it directly, she just said: "The old lady only has a few little girls in the room, and she picked them all. Our mother and I said Talking, who will spread the word, someone really needs to talk about those girls, but the old lady picked them out by herself, saying that they are so clever and caring, good girls that even we dare not easily offend. Besides, Tan girl is the mother's son Sister, who dares to ruin her reputation."

Zhou Rui's family took it very seriously: "Madam, the old lady is already this old, and there are still a few more years left, so just bear with her and follow her."

"What can I do if I can't bear it." Mrs. Wang also sighed, "Do you think I want to meddle in Boy Lin's business? Don't I just fear that your sister Lin will be wronged by her sister-in-law? Sister-in-law is greedy. When her mother got married back then, you have seen the ten miles of red makeup. Kid Lin first entered the court, and he had no one to rely on, and he still couldn't spend money everywhere. Your sister Lin is an ignorant person. I know how much furniture is left."

Zhou Rui's family accompanied the master and sighed for a while, served her dinner again, and then went back to his own room. It happened that today her daughter and son-in-law came and hurriedly asked the kitchen to bring two good dishes. The family had a good time eating peace and harmony,

Her daughter is a good judge of words: "Mom's face is not quite right, who messed with Mom?"

This person, when she gets angry, she always likes to complain and complain, so that someone who listens can scold her for her, which not only makes her generous face, but also makes her listen comfortably.Zhou Rui's family didn't dare to speak ill of Mrs. Jia Muwang, so they told Lin Mo about his ignorance.

Her son-in-law's name is Leng Zixing, he opened an antique shop outside, and knows many people, so he laughed when he heard this: "So it's him."

Zhou Rui's family became interested: "Do you know him?"

"Not only have I heard about it, but I've seen it with my own eyes. He came to Shandong. You old people don't know about that place, so you only specialize in those who are hard-educated, even ordinary people who like to draw pictures and tie kites. Arty. More than half of the business in our antique shop comes from there. How many people from Shandong sell their land to buy these. I guess the same is true in Uncle Lin’s family. Who doesn't buy a yard to concentrate on studying? He brought a school boy, rented two earthen houses, and retired as soon as he finished the exam. I guess he was too poor." Leng Zixing wondered, "How dare you dislike such a family? A girl from Rongguo Mansion?"

His daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Isn't it a deal?"

"If it's really settled, he won the number one prize and was conferred the title of marquis now. The father-in-law didn't say anything? There is an upstart marquis as a son-in-law, who can hold his breath and not shout to the sky? But look, someone made a noise What? Ask him which girl he is from and he won’t answer, isn’t he just trying to fool the old lady with a non-existent one?” Zhou Rui’s family sneered, “I see, he has shallow eyelids and thinks our family is not suitable. The young girl was born in the wife's womb, and I don't even think about it, for a family like Rongguo Mansion, just tearing down a few bricks is enough for him to eat for a lifetime!"

Ever since he joined the Rongguo Mansion, Leng Zixing, whose business has been doing more and more smoothly, nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Wang was also in a dilemma. She made a good idea at the beginning. The Tanchun Li family is a good hand. If she is asked to marry into the Lin family, she will be the head of the house as soon as she enters. No matter if it is the bookworm Lin Mo or the noble Daiyu, whoever Will it be her opponent?When the time comes, she will go to ask for something, will the daughter dare not give it?Since Tanchun is married to the Lin family, Baodai's marriage will naturally not work out, Xue Pan is useless to ask Baoyu to marry Bao girl, when the time comes, the family property and contacts of the Lin family and the Xue family will all belong to Baoyu?

It's just that since the marriage failed, she and Aunt Xue had a good plan and couldn't move it.

Therefore, after sighing with Aunt Xue for a while, Zhou Rui's family shared their conjectures, and Mrs. Wang spat: "He is not worried about his concubines, who doesn't know that the third girl was raised by the old lady's side since she was a child, although her aunt is miserable. , I treat her like my own daughter, this brother Lin is afraid that he is looking at Miss Lin for being ignorant, so he has already robbed her of her money, and he is afraid of our family!"

Aunt Xue said: "This child has too many eyes. Poor Miss Lin is so young, her parents are gone, and a wolf-hearted brother has come. Life is going well..."

Xue Baochai personally brought tea to Mrs. Wang: "Auntie loves Sister Lin, and the love is so touching, but if Brother Lin is such a wolf-hearted thing, asking Third Sister to marry him will suffer."

Mrs. Wang said: "Although the third girl is raised by me, I look at it coldly, and she still has the vigor of Aunt Zhao. Who dares to bully her!"

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Since this is the case, isn't it easy to handle..." The three aunts and nephews got together and discussed carefully for a while, and Mrs. Wang laughed and said: "That's the reason. I think he wants fame, or I just want to be a bachelor and swallow your sister Lin's property!"

As a result, soon there were rumors in Beijing that the Rongguo Mansion wanted to get married for the sake of the lonely and helpless granddaughter, and promised the granddaughter to Lord Lin. After all, Lord Lin and Miss Lin were not biological brothers and sisters. It is a good thing for relatives to have a sister-in-law who grew up together.Who would have thought that Lord Lin Hou didn't know what he was trying to do, but he even rejected the imperial concubine's sister, maybe he was thinking of the princess and princess!

This rumor can be said to be unscrupulous, what is Lin Houye planning?For a while, the four kings and eight princes and noble families all commented that the new Marquis was not filial and ungrateful, and even suspected that he was the only daughter who abused Lin Hai.

Otherwise, what reason do you have to go back to the girl from Rongguo Mansion?

However, it caused an uproar among the civil servants who were originally from Zhongshan in the court.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry is from Shandong, and he was about to call Jia Zheng over to give him a lecture. As a result, Jia Zheng Muxiu was so angry that his beard blew up: "This Jia Zheng is really audacious, and he is robbing the son-in-law with Wen Xuangong." Woolen cloth!"

Everyone hurriedly asked why, even the Minister of the Ministry of Industry asked, and the servant said: "The Marquis of Lin is a fellow of the lower officials. Famous. Duke Wenxuan had a daughter whose love was like a treasure. Lin Li, the patriarch of the Lin family, personally brought Lord Hou to his house to propose marriage, and Duke Wenxuan betrothed his daughter to him. Lord Lin was five years old at the time. Thirty disciples, it is a good fortune to get married, and the two families even discuss a glass of wine."

The civil servants didn't think much of the military general who was lying on the ancestral credit book, and now he sighed again and again, no matter how noble the girl in your Rongguo Mansion is, she is more worthy than Wen Xuangong's daughter?Fortunately, the noble concubine of the Jia family is still named a "virtuous concubine".Xijue's eldest brother lives in the side courtyard, and he lives in the main house. Such an unruly person, it is strange that such words will spread to slander Lord Lin,

Who is Wen Xuangong?Fortunately, before your death, your father said that you loved reading since you were a child when you submitted a booklet to ask for an official.To say such a stupid thing.

This Jia Zheng is also unlucky, this matter has nothing to do with him, neither the Lin family nor the Kong family are people who like to make public, so one of them did not publicize that I will marry a girl from the Kong family in the future, and the other also teaches in Shandong Yuren acted in a low-key manner and didn't shout around to see how good our family is. The future son-in-law is now Lord Hou.Shandong is quite far away from the capital, so few people in Beijing know about it.It's just that everyone knows that he lived in Rongxitang. He was not promoted for decades as a member of the Ministry of Industry, and it has a lot to do with the lack of rules in his house. Most of the six departments except the Ministry of War are There are not a few civil servants who look down on him.

This Jia Zheng was wronged. He has always been ignorant of common affairs and did not know outsiders' opinions. This matter was mentioned by Jia Mu in front of him. , the colleagues looked at him differently.After being ridiculed for a few words, he finally understood what had happened, and his forehead ached with anger: "I really treat Brother Lin as my nephew, but I can't help him a little bit? He's already engaged and can't marry my daughter. Just say no to me, and I still treat him as my own nephew, so why bother to make a fuss all over the city and ruin my reputation as a girl in the Rongguo Mansion!" So she got sick and went back to discuss with Jia Mu.
