The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

There are many rules and regulations in the palace, and there are too many people, and Daiyu knows that once she enters the palace, she may not be able to touch paper and pen.Although my sister-in-law persuaded her, it would be the same if she went to Rong's house. After all, she was not at home at home, so she deliberately wrote a few more articles while she was still at home these few days.It was only when she heard that Sister Feng came to visit Jingxian that she happily left the room to meet the guests.Zijuan said, "It should have been like this a long time ago. The girl used to tell us that writing articles is not something that can be achieved overnight." It's like a spring, so why don't you just pick up the pen?" Even so, it's just that Sister Feng hasn't come for a long time, and she is also happy to chat with her.

As soon as I entered Jingxian's room, I heard Sister Feng laughing and said: "What can I do? Now the mansion dares to let me do something! It's fine if I don't guard against thieves. But recently There was a lawsuit, and they expected me to get involved, so they let me out. I have nothing to do to file a lawsuit for them? If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just come out and see you.” Daiyu clapped her hands and said with a smile: “ Sister Feng also said that she loves my sister-in-law the most, so she is hiding from the lawsuit?"

Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's you again!"

Daiyu walked in with a smile, first took Jingxian's hand and sat down beside the bed, then asked Sister Feng: "What kind of lawsuit is it?"

"Don't mention it. Didn't my big brother Xue marry the daughter of the Xia family a few years ago? When he married, he said nicely that the family was very rich, he was quite pretty, and he could read a lot of words. There are dozens of sweet-scented osmanthus planted in the land, and everyone calls her family "Osmanthus Xia's family", so she is called Xia Jingui. The sweet-scented osmanthus bureaus in Chang'an City and outside the city are all owned by his family, and even the bonsai in the palace should be displayed. , is also enshrined in his family. At that time, my aunt and brother Xue all regarded the new daughter-in-law as their treasure, and if she wanted to change Xiangling's name, let her do it, and it would not cause a catastrophe."

Daiyu and Xiangling were old, so she asked, "What name did you change?"

"It's called Qiu Ling." Ping'er Qi Qi said.Sister Feng laughed and said, "You know I love you, don't you?" Daiyu and Jingxian both laughed.Jingxian said: "This Xia's family sounds familiar." Daiyu said: "It should be familiar. Their family is in the business of flowers and trees. They once sold the moldy herbs to Shanrentang as medicine primers, and taught them The shopkeeper of our family pretended to be a fake and cheated, and Wen Ge's uncle dragged him to the door of their house to scold him, sister-in-law forgot?"

Jingxian said: "What kind of daughter can such a family raise?"

"That's not it," Sister Feng said, "Xia Jingui's father left early again, and her mother doted on her, but she raised her daughter into five brothers and sisters who harmed Tianyuan. It's strange to say that, this big brother Xue, he said that he was with him when he was young. This Xia Jingui has played around with her, and she can't forget it. After getting married, it really seems to have changed her temper. She said that Xiangling bullied her, and Brother Xue really beat the good girl half to death with a stick. It's not that my aunt stopped me, I'm afraid I'll die. It's just that Xia Jingui is so messed up that he dared to contradict his aunt. Brother Xue has no other benefits, but he is very filial. He wants to teach his mother a lesson for his daughter-in-law , In the end, if you want to beat or kill, that daughter-in-law is more ruthless than him, and if she put her neck to the knife's edge, he will be cowardly."

What about Wang Xifeng, who hasn't studied for a few years, so the words she uses are a bit vulgar, but what she said is interesting, and the Lin family's aunt doesn't mind: "It's just outrageous."

"Who says it's not?" Sister Feng drank a sip of tea to moisten her throat, "However, the world is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Brother Xue sees Xia Jingui is young and beautiful, so he tolerates it again and again. But once this person gets used to it, he only knows how to make progress. You guys Do you know what happened to Xia Jingui? She thought Big Brother Xue was rude, thinking about her uncle—hey, don’t mention it, my sister can’t listen to this. Anyway, I completely forgot the rules and etiquette of being a daughter-in-law. Because of her, I always said that Second Master Xue was wrong. As a result, once, this woman was acting like a fool, and my aunt saw it, but it made my aunt very angry. When Second Master Xue saw his aunt coming, he dared to leave the house and help her Talking, this woman made a mistake and started shoving with her aunt. Coincidentally, Brother Xue came back, drunk, and saw her pushing aunt staggeringly. one time."

Jingxian sneered and said: "There are such women in the world, they are even worse than animals - but Mrs. Xue is not wronged, she is also a spoiled child." The hatred is clear, Xue Pan beat people to death for a girl in Jinling in the early years, and no one mentioned it, Kong Jingxian once said, "If I were a man, the first thing I would do when I became an official would be to throw this kind of person to the Meridian Gate and beheaded." Go to the head", making Lin Mo amused: "Where is it his turn to go to the Meridian Gate, for his crime, the most he can do is to go to the vegetable market and behead his head."Because of this, she has never had good things to say about Mrs. Xue. In the early years, she said that those who dote on children like this will be harmed by others sooner or later, but now it has come true.

Daiyu was afraid of Sister Feng's embarrassment, so she continued to ask: "Then, are the Xue family and the Xia family going to court?" Even the government doesn't need to be alarmed, just write a letter of divorce, and then report to the local government governor's household registration clerk.

"If it's just a divorce, there's no need to go to court. Brother Xue was insane at the time, and Xia Jingui was messing around, and he refused to make amends to his aunt. Brother Xue wanted to beat her, but she really leaned over her again and said that she would kill her." Alright—this man has a brain after drinking his head? Not to mention that Brother Xue usually has no brains, and how much anger he has accumulated, he really went up with a knife. Second Master Xue and a few servants were scared stupid I tried my best to stop it, but who could react in the blink of an eye!"

Daiyu was also startled: "The result."

Sister Feng only cared about drinking tea, and it was Ping'er who replied for her: "It's not that I'm hopeless. The Xia family is not easy to get along with, and there is only this one daughter. Her widowed mother can be said. Who in the clan can help?" If her daughter seeks justice, the estate will belong to whoever it is, isn't she going to file a lawsuit with the Xue family?"

Jingxian sneered and said, "Isn't the Xue family the most fond of litigation? But let me tell you, what does this matter have to do with Sister Feng?"

Ping'er said: "It's not that it has nothing to do with our grandma! It's just that Mr. Wang didn't know what to do. He just said that he couldn't help with this matter, and said that Mrs. Xue was reaping the consequences of herself and pampering her too much, making Uncle Xue think that killing people is like killing ants. It seems that there are no consequences. Why don’t you have to bear the current situation yourself? It’s useless for the second wife to intercede. Even our old lady can’t help with this kind of matter, but the elder is willing to help. Pull it off and don't mention this matter to him. So Mrs. Xue still wants our grandma to beg Mrs. Wang's family. "

Wang Ziteng does have some partiality for Wang Xifeng's niece. Firstly, he has no daughter himself. Secondly, his father also liked this granddaughter back then, and raised her as a man. I feel rare.It's just that last year Sister Feng fled back to her natal family and lived in the Lin Mansion for a long time. Although there was a reason for the incident, he was a little displeased with being too willful after all.In addition, she is not her own daughter, and Sister Feng is a sensible person, so she dare not make trouble.

Although she has been arrogant before, she still has to know what lawsuits she can fight and what lawsuits she can't.

Wang Ziteng has just entered the cabinet not long ago, and his foundation is not stable. How many people are trying their best to wait and see the excitement.This time he responded to Fang Jian's grain tax reform, but met Rong Jia's Zhaoqin Four Questions, how many people were happy to see them embarrassed.Aunt Xue and the others want Wang Ziteng to bend the law for personal gain at the feet of the emperor?If he doesn't try to get a reputation for killing relatives righteously, it's not bad!

"Besides, isn't my aunt's daughter married to the palace, so I'll find her son-in-law." Wang Xifeng said.

Jingxian said, "King Yun? Even if it's only King Yun, he can't be considered her son-in-law."

Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "What do you mean is just the king of Yun?" Jingxian herself is just a concubine Hou, but she is the granddaughter of Princess Hehui, and her surname is Kong, and she is loved by the palace. What's more, she must be able to speak up, and she has some connection with King Zongzhengduan of the clan's mansion, so it's no wonder she would say that.

Jing Xian smiled: "I am the sister-in-law of Princess Wu."

Daiyu rubbed her nose against Jingxian's forehead: "Sister-in-law is getting more and more like my brother, so she will make fun of me."

Jingxian pushed her away: "Don't touch me, I haven't touched the water for many days, and now I smell all kinds of things, don't smoke you. It's rare that today is a good day, you go pick some flowers, let me go Get rid of the smell in the house, set up a table in the garden in a while, and treat Sister Feng to dinner?"

Daiyu knew that they had something to say to avoid her, a girl who hadn't left the court, so she answered with a smile, and really went to the garden to pick flowers.Zicuckoo followed closely, but sighed.

"What's wrong?" Daiyu wondered.

"Xiangling still wanted to learn poetry from the girl." Zijuan said, "We were surprised when she first came. She looked like a lady from a wealthy family, and she became a servant. Later, I heard that Xue The uncle was involved in a life lawsuit because of her. We also said that it must be her face. Later, when I asked, she was indeed from a good family, but she was abducted. I asked her if she remembered where she lived. Her parents called What, remembering everything, is also pitiful."

Daiyu sighed: "It's all fate—" She felt that Xia Jingui's death and Xue Pan's imprisonment were more like relief to Xiangling.

The weather today is really nice. She saw a few peach blossoms blooming well, but the higher the place, the higher the bloom, and she couldn't reach it. The azalea danced a few times, but she didn't touch it. Ask a boy to come in and pick it off for the girl."

"Forget it, what's the point of others picking it." Daiyu didn't necessarily want the peach blossoms, there were still tender and lovely ones blooming on the branches below.She tiptoed to pick a branch, and said, "Peach blossoms are beautiful, but they are not fragrant enough. There is nothing perfect in this world." But she heard a familiar voice with a smile: "If there is a perfect thing, it is not too bad." Are you bored?" She couldn't help being pleasantly surprised: "Brother didn't go to the yamen today?"

"Xiu Mu, I'm lazy too. I just woke up. Seeing that the weather is fine, I'm here to bask in the sun." Lin Mo hit a big cypress tree and turned back, "Look at yourself, your hair is all loose, come here."

Daiyu approached obediently, and saw that her brother had no pads on his feet. He stretched out his arms and picked off the peach blossoms that she had admired from the beginning. The peach blossoms were planted on it, and she tilted her head for a few glances, and said with a wry smile: "Oh, it's even more messy, I'd better ask Zijuan to tie it up for you again." Then he asked, "Sister-in-law Feng is here today? She told Jingning It's good to talk. You go to the fun, I'll go back to my yard to bask in the sun." The scenery in the garden is beautiful, although Sister Feng is a frequent visitor to Lin's residence, the spring scenery is still worth seeing.Lin Mo is also a person who knows the rules. Of course, he has to avoid the guests of his female family members.

Daiyu asked someone to set up the table in the Taohuayuan, and asked Xueyan to send the flowers to Jingxian. Zijuan said, "I'll re-tie the girl's hair, it's all loose." She smiled and shook her head until then The loose bun couldn't even support the peach blossom, so she went back to the house and asked Zijuan to comb her hair again.

"My brother is the best brother in the world." She said to Zijuan with a smile.

Zijuan said: "I know, the girl's nose is almost laughing to the sky."
