The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Whether it is true or not, Jing Yuanhou, who reappeared in the discussion of the imperial capital, at least for now, did not show the slightest fear or guilt.Rather, there are very few things that can shake this man in full view.But before one returns to Beijing, rumors spread all over the streets, which is rare.

He didn't care, but the family was furious.

Princess Jingrou spoke bluntly, and said directly and clearly: "I heard people say that Old General Xi is also quite old and meritorious. At this stage, he really committed crimes." It's really not a place where you can do whatever you want. She has always been careful in every step and dare not go overboard. Secondly, she doesn't know how to speak up for her brother. It's wrong to say too much, so she tightened the veil, pretending that she didn't hear it, and lowered her voice. Head to drink soup.

The little girls were sitting far away, and the queen didn't hear any movement here, but Princess Jing Yi was startled, and pulled her sister, Jing Rou fell silent.After the empress had finished talking with the wives, she beckoned Daiyu to come forward, took her by the hand, told her to sit at her feet, and asked her about Jingning's recent condition: "She is in critical condition now, you little girl Everyone doesn't understand, the nanny I sent to your house is still diligent? If there is something wrong with her, you have to tell me, don't be embarrassed, your sister-in-law is the most important thing."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Nurse Li has helped us a lot. I don't know anything, and it's the first time for my sister-in-law. Before that, I had night sweats and cramps, thanks to the help of Nanny Li."

The queen also became nervous for a while: "Cramps at night? Is it better now?"

Daiyu chatted with her for a while, and didn't hide it. Jing Xian talked about how she is now, what medicine she is taking, what kind of nurses and mothers-in-law she has at home, and finally said: "Sister-in-law Also be careful, the doctor at home also checks the pulse twice a day, and the nanny said that the problem is not serious. Besides, there is a cousin in my family now. She has given birth to two children and has helped us. few."

"Good boy, your brother is not at home, you have worked hard." The queen comforted, "Someone said a while back that your family's door is tall, and I said it's just right, now you have a child in charge of the house? I At first, I was worried, thinking whether I should bring you and Jingning into my palace. Now look at it, although your brother is young, he is steady."

Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The third brother has a bit of a straight temper, he is an excellent boy."

The queen smiled and asked: "I've seen him before. He was still in the imperial hospital at that time. He looked childish, but he was a good-looking talent. Have you engaged?"

Daiyu smiled and shook her head.

It's strange to say that Lin Mo and Lin Han both made baby marriages early on, but it was Lin Bai's most beloved youngest son, and there was no news for a long time. Jinan was not in a hurry, as if they were picking slowly, Anyway, the child is still young, the foundation of the Lin family is there, and the child is also outstanding, so it is not difficult to find a good wife.But when the queen asked, she thought it was thoughtful, so she could only shake her head.No matter which family the queen wants to talk about, it's not appropriate—Che'er is a person who has no intention of entering the court.

The empress would also agree, so I didn't mention it, seeing that it was late, she knew that she would leave the palace early and go home, so she personally called someone she trusted to send her out of the palace, and told her to stay at home and wait for her brother to come back.Daiyu agreed, but went home, but couldn't bear it anymore.You can't go to Jingxian's place. No matter how good Sister Feng gets along, she is not a member of the family, so she can only ask the third master to come.Although Lin Che and her are sisters and brothers, they are not relatives after all. Moreover, Lin Che is getting older now, and rarely visits her sister's boudoir at night.But since it was Daiyu who came to call, he naturally wouldn't refuse, and even called the small kitchen to bring over dinner.

"My sister hastily called my brother, but what happened?"

Daiyu said distressedly: "You go eat first, it's not an important matter."

The Lin family also had the rule of not talking when eating, but there were no elders and no guests. It didn't look like a few young people in the family just sitting and eating and drinking soup tremblingly, so from Lin Mo who was the master of the house, there was no one. People abide by this rule.So Lin Che also held a bowl to signal to her sister.

Daiyu asked cautiously, "Do you know about General Xi?"

Lin Che smiled: "What else do I think, my sister is worried about my brother?"

"Not really." If Lin Mo would really be punished for this matter, the queen in the palace today would not treat her like this.What's more, the cause and effect are now clear and clear. Xi Songxi is seriously injured, Mohe is in short supply of medicines, and manpower is tight. He stays there. No matter what considerations, it is not wrong to send him back to the pass.He was a decent general, but if he was cut off on the road, he couldn't help but make people doubt the law and order outside the pass.It's just that Lin Mo's heart is really too firm. He sent the petition back and said that in order to ensure the morale of the Mohe army, he has not yet clarified the matter of General Xi with the soldiers of Mohe. Now there are very few people who know it. Be careful, don't startle the snake.Such iron blood makes people feel chilling.Daiyu was also worried, her elder brother valued his reputation the most, if he came back and heard people in Beijing say that about him, he would feel sad.

Lin Che said: "Sister thinks too much, brother has his own considerations. When something happened to him in Crane City, he was asked to investigate carefully, but he didn't dare to make a big show, and now he doesn't have the energy to make a big show. He feels wrong, no matter what he does. That’s right, sooner or later.”

Daiyu only asked, "When will my brother come back?"

"Aren't you on the road now? It's just a matter of a few days." Lin Che comforted her, "You still don't know about your elder brother's temperament? He will definitely be back before my nephew is born—what did he break his promise?"

When Daiyu heard it, she really felt at ease, but Princess Jingrou's words were a thorn in her throat after all, and even Lin Che's words, "What other people say, I can't influence my brother in the slightest" could not comfort her. She, but she couldn't tell others about her grievance, so she had to endure it secretly.

Sister Feng, on the other hand, was careful, and she saw that she was in a bad mood, so she came to talk to her specially.

"In a short while, I've been living in your house for a while." She smiled, "It's almost as good as you were in the Rong Mansion. However, you were not as comfortable as I am now." Daiyu knew that she was too. Forced to smile, now she is just pretending not to know that her mother-in-law's family has a lot of opinions on her, and she hides from day to day.She couldn't help saying: "Sister Feng, why don't you just live in our house forever."

Sister Feng laughed loudly: "You are talking about it. When your brother comes back, I will live again. What does it look like? Your words—" She wanted to say, but Daiyu's words seemed to be Baoyu's words, no No brains, but after thinking about it, this is not appropriate.

Daiyu didn't know what Sister Feng was thinking, so she just sneered: "I don't need to ask anyone."

The biggest difference between her and Baoyu is probably here.Even if she is a woman, there is still room for her to speak in this family. She doesn't have to go to the old lady, the eldest wife, and the second wife to ask whoever she wants to keep in the house.As long as she is willing, not to mention staying with Sister Feng, even if she wants Sister Qiao to marry in Jingyuan Hou's mansion, Lin Mo will probably agree, but it doesn't matter whether such a willful decision will bring any trouble to the Lin family.

Sister Feng was quite sad, but she smiled and said, "Sister's kindness, I know it, but... hey, there's nothing I can do about it. I just hate that I didn't have a good reincarnation, but it happened to be a woman. Otherwise, I'll suffer this." Angry." Changed the subject again, "If you want me to say, your little third master is really powerful. I was worried that he was young, but now I look at your high gate compound, and the servants keep watch at night, and they are all well-behaved. Very, there are quite a few people patrolling at night. In the Grand View Garden, I was not afraid of my sister’s jokes. I had to go to see if the women were drinking and gambling. After a while, they played again, but it was useless. You also have a way. I am lucky that I didn't have the face to tell you how to housekeeper, otherwise, it would be ridiculous."

"It's not my credit. It's all because of my elder brother." Daiyu laughed, "He always thinks that no matter how old you are, since we didn't treat the servants' food and clothing badly, they will take good care of them. If some miscellaneous things come out, and you expect him to save face, then it's too boring for him to be an uncle."

Sister Feng said: "That's the reason. Those slaves have food and drink, and want to face. They also lack confidence. They are afraid that they will not have a good name. They have to imitate everything in the book. What they eat and use is for slaves." I'm learning too. It's just that a slave wants to be lazy and show off, how can the young master handle it? But your family—" she said, "with your sister-in-law and your brother who was born as the number one scholar, how can you handle it? Everything is justified, but it saves a lot of trouble."

She has never studied, and now she feels it is a pity, not to mention that Jia Lian is not motivated, looking at Brother Wei, she has to worry about his future.

However, even if it is for Wei Geer's title, she still wants to return to Rongguo Mansion, otherwise, who would really let her go?

The vixen took the seat, so what should she do?

She said that she should go back when Lin Mo came back, and she didn't just say that casually.Indeed, when Lin Mo came back, she was a married man, and if she lived with someone else, she would inevitably have gossip, even Wang Ziteng would not agree.Going home when Marquis Jing Yuan came back, speaking of it, she still took care of her younger siblings for the sake of her relatives' face.It's just that she is used to living a comfortable life, and she feels a headache when she thinks of facing a lot of things.

Sister Feng loves money, and she also likes to say the same thing when she is in charge of the affairs of the big family, but she has fought hard to snatch it, and Jingxian Daiyu has it naturally, and it is easy to do, unlike her, who spends half her life in it Everyone said that Second Mistress Lian had a lot of tricks. I don't know how much she secretly paid for it. She almost didn't even leave her son behind.

What's the trouble again.

At this time, she also had to say that it was fate.

When Lin Mo returned to Beijing, he went to the palace to report on his work before entering the house.

During his trip, he didn’t make any mistakes in his own work. The food, grass and military salaries arrived ahead of schedule, and the war in the north gradually stabilized. The generals certainly contributed a lot, but he didn’t hold back. The only thing that people criticized Probably because of Xi Songxi's disappearance, but after all, I have to blame too many horse thieves on the mountain road.What's more, in the end Song Yanbai Shiyue had a letter in his own handwriting, co-signed to protect him, and spoke with earnest words, as if the emperor really wanted to deal with him.

Of course the emperor would not dispose of him.

It was another one he wanted to make trouble for.

"Has King Beijing found someone?"

Shui Rong said unhurriedly: "I found it."
