The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Before Jia's mother went out, she asked her servants to write a letter of greeting. She didn't bring her two daughters-in-law with her, so she called Sister Feng and Li Wan: "Bring the eldest sister, Wei'er and Lan'er. Isn't Lan'er going to take an exam? It's just right. Talk to the third elder brother of the Lin family. If your cousin Lin is at home, he can still ask your cousin for advice."

Li Wan has been a widow for so many years, she doesn't leave the house, she doesn't care about it, but because of this, Jia Lan is not very social, this is the first time the old lady only takes Jia Lan out, she is thinking in her heart, go At my relative's house, I saw only female relatives, which was not a violation of etiquette, so I hurriedly ordered Jia Lan to go.Jia Lan is a studious person, so she was naturally happy to hear that she was able to go to the champion's cousin's house for advice.But Jia Huan was very displeased, and murmured with Aunt Zhao for a long time, how Aunt Zhao yelled "I want my girl to go out and get married to earn fame for you, but she doesn't treat my master here as a master" and brought it to the Rongguo Mansion. How many turmoil has been caused, I won't mention it here.

But he said that Jia Lan came excitedly, but saw that the gate of Jingyuan Hou's mansion was closed, and he didn't seem to welcome him. Jia Lan came on horseback, and he was a little embarrassed, so he went to the carriage to ask his great-grandmother.Mother Jia, however, had a calm expression on her face, and handed the greeting card to the concierge. After a while, the head butler of the Lin Mansion opened the second door to greet her. When she went to the second courtyard and changed the car, she saw a young man with a Many stewards were standing in the corridor, and when they saw them coming, several servant girls immediately came up to help Jia Mu to change the car.Jia Lan saw that he was tall and straight, but his face was still immature, and he looked a few years younger than himself, thinking that this was probably Lin Che, but he couldn't be sure, so he hurried forward to meet him. Seeing courtesy, he is called "cousin uncle".

It was rare for Lin Che to see a well-mannered man from the Jia family, so she was very surprised, and quickly greeted him, saying: "Princess, sister-in-law invites Shi Taijun and the two sister-in-laws to Qinluzhou for tea." Then said, "Brother Lan Please follow me to the Nian of the Crane Xuan."

"I have heard for a long time that Lin Biaoshu has a rich collection of books, and Lan Xin has been yearning for it for a long time. If I can get a glimpse of one or two today, I will die without regret."

"Lan'er is talking about big brother's book. It's okay, big brother got some good books, and he always wants to copy a few copies. When he pays, if Lan'er likes anything, just go to him."

Jia Lan was pleasantly surprised: "Uncle Mo is coming back today?"

"He won't come back someday." Lin Che nodded pretentiously.

Sister Feng's coquettish laughter had already come from the carriage: "Brother Che, what are you talking about here? I'll talk to your sister-in-law, you have to take good care of your nephew."

"Sister Feng, don't worry." Lin Che and Sister Feng knew each other well, so they responded casually.

Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat.

She had a lot of trouble with the Lin family back then, Lin Mo didn't even give her face in the palace, and the paperwork for cutting off the blood lineage was done faster than anything else, making the Rongguo Mansion lose face.To be honest, Mother Jia is used to the impoliteness of the Lin family, and she is ready to wait at the door of the Lin family today.She is an old man, no matter what, she is Daiyu's maternal grandmother. She is sitting in front of the Lin family. Does the Lin family look good?Who would have thought that Lin Che would come in so smoothly, which surprised her.

I remembered something else.

Jingxian has just given birth, and she is much fairer, tenderer and more beautiful than before giving birth. Perhaps it is because of becoming a mother, the sharpness that can be seen in her face in the past has softened a lot, and the scar between her eyebrows has been lightened today. The golden lacquered five-petal flowers look a little more graceful.

When Li Wan first saw Jing Xian, she had a bad fight with Concubine Yuan in the palace, so naturally she didn't look good when she came to Rongguo Mansion. Li Wan looked at it at that time, and thought that the beauty of Concubine Jingyuan was beautiful. It's just that from the appearance, it's a bit aggressive, not to mention that the facial features are exquisite and beautiful, and there is a scar on the face, which can be regarded as a woman's appearance.But seeing you today is very different from that day.Sister Feng was familiar with them, and wanted to go up and talk to them affectionately, but Jia's mother hadn't spoken yet, and her granddaughter-in-law could only stand behind her.

Mother Jia asked Sister Feng and Li Wan to support her personally. When she saw Daiyu, she was sitting there curled up in a red palace attire. Arranging maidservants is really like a goddess.

Jingxian glanced narrowly at Sister Feng, winked at her, and said, "Princess, Shi Taijun is here."

Only then did Mother Jia realize what was so strange!

Daiyu's status is different now, even she is a majestic wife of the first grade, and she has to make a big gift with this old bone.

As soon as Jia's mother bent down tremblingly, Zijuan came up to help her: "You don't have to be polite, old lady."

Daiyu turned her head sideways, looked at her elderly grandmother, and said, "Wen Qin, go to your brother's yard and get some new tea, and ask him for the most precious and most reluctant." Then she smiled at Jia Mu, "I don't often cook tea. Tea, the old lady has a taste of her granddaughter's handicraft. Don't be disgusted with it."

Mother Jia said repeatedly, of course not, and Sister Feng pinched her nose with a smile: "Who dares to despise Your Highness, isn't that life-threatening? It is said that one person can ascend to heaven, we cats and dogs are still waiting for you." To support it."

Sister Feng has always been able to read words and deeds.It's not that Li Wan doesn't know that they are here to ask for help, but her background is different, she usually doesn't talk about anything, so this time she is naturally even more unwilling to ask for help.Her status as a widow is not suitable for talking too much.Therefore, although Jia's mother was very dissatisfied with Sister Feng's private departure from home, she also understood that at this time, only Sister Feng could talk about it.

It's not that Wang Xifeng doesn't know that Mother Jia is using him, but what can she do?Now that she married into the Rongguo Mansion, how could it be good for her to leave alone?Naturally, the glory of others has nothing to do with her, but when someone is unlucky, she will rush to the front and be punished.

As a concubine in Yuanchun, the Jia family naturally followed Dengtian to become relatives of the emperor, but after the humane congratulations, they dispersed, but the autumn wind in the palace did not disperse.If you really want to talk about bringing dignity to Rongguo Mansion, then you have nothing to say, but if you want to talk about bringing any tangible benefits, then you really haven't seen it.Even for Jia Zheng's release, Wang Ziteng begged for him.I didn't see how the empress in the palace could help.But no matter what, Concubine Yuan is still the backbone.If there is something wrong with her in the palace, the entire Rongguo Mansion will definitely suffer.

After spending so many months with her, Sister Feng understood Jingxian's temper. She was just a stubborn girl.Today she politely invited Jia's mother in, which made Sister Feng's heart skip a beat.

Lord Jingning doesn't give face to others. If she doesn't like it, who can stop her from showing her temper.Although Daiyu is a good girl, she won't listen to persuasion when her temper comes up.Don't talk about what outsiders think of them - now the status of the two aunts and sisters-in-law doesn't care what others think, even if Jia Mu really sat at the gate of Jingyuanhou's mansion, Jingxian was in a hurry to inform the two in-laws about the household department It's not like she can't do it when the invalid documents are thrown out and the Rongguo Mansion's face is ashamed.

Being so polite now, I'm afraid it's really bad for the empress.Kong Jingxian is saving the saliva of others saying that their family has fallen into trouble.

Daiyu smiled when she heard Sister Feng's words: "Once Sister Feng opens her mouth, the sky can tell you that the sky is falling, so why do I need you? Let's learn." At the same time, she asked the wet nurse to bring Jia Wei to play with Xiu Lang.

"Compared to you, we are clumsy and tongue-tied." Sister Feng joked, "Your little son, Jin Gui, don't learn from me."

Naturally, Mother Jia knew that there was something in Sister Feng's words, but she was distracted by Daiyu, and she sighed in her heart, and said, "Princess..."

Daiyu paused the hand holding the tea leaves, and said, "Grandmother's words really hurt my granddaughter."

"Your Highness deserves the gift of old age." Jia Mu said, "The other princesses are also like this. Naturally, all of you are admired by thousands of people."

Monarchs and ministers are different, the princess is the lord, so what are their wives.Even Cheng Enhou, who is serious and honest, has to salute and call his master when he sees his prince and grandson.Mother Jia begged: "My good boy, I am old and foolish. I have done so many foolish things. For your mother's sake, you are still willing to call me grandma. I will be grateful. But you also know that we are together." Up and down the house, they live by pointing at the empress in the palace. The empress is well, we are safe, but the empress is not well...I should go see your mother with my old bones. Now I don’t know which god she offended , I dare not ask the princess to make plans for her, so I just want the princess to give us a clear explanation."

Daiyu just said: "What did the old lady say, you will live a long life."

Jing Xian was leaning over to watch Xiu Lang and Jia Wei play, but she laughed when she heard this: "Old lady, I have lived for more than ten years, even if I am not as knowledgeable as the old lady, I still follow the princess around , I have seen many houses, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing as yours."

Sister Feng knew that she had nothing good to say when she opened her mouth, so she quickly blocked it: "All right, my good grandma, just pretend that we didn't order anything and it's in your way. Anyway, let you gain some insight? Then I beg you, my sister, just tell me, with my incompetent mouth, can I still drink the one-year-old bar of your little lord."

Li Wan shuddered, and took over Daiyu's work.

"You're really good." Jingxian pointed behind Daiyu, "This row of girls should look at you."

"But they are all very pretty, compared to those around you."

Jingxian smiled and said, "It's all rewarded by the queen."

Even if Sister Feng is bold, she has lost her courage at this moment.

Daiyu pursed her lips and laughed: "Good sister-in-law, what are you doing to scare her?"

"I told her to have a better memory. Don't be like your small houses everywhere. If you usually talk to Ping'er at home, maybe there are people in the yard who can hear you." Jingxian cast a glance at Sister Feng, "I don't know about others, but you, Sister Feng, are so hot, I have to ask her to sing a few words when Xiu Hang gets married, she must sing better than that."

A big stone in Sister Feng's heart fell to the ground.

Daiyu wondered, her sister-in-law is not a nosy person, especially about palace affairs.

She had also heard about the matter of Concubine Yuan, but one more thing is worse than one less thing. The less she knew about this matter, the better, so naturally she would not want to intervene.Jingxian went to the palace after confinement to thank her before this incident happened. As soon as the incident happened, she had promised to bring Xiuhang into the palace to show the queen a glance when the weather was good. Afraid of getting fishy, ​​now he is letting go of his guarantor?This is interesting, let alone a small county monarch, now that she is on the cusp of the storm, if her grandmother and Princess Hui Dachang arrive, she may not be sure who will be saved.

She only thinks that she is still young, and the twists and turns in this palace are naturally not as clear as Jing Xian.I just went back and thought about it for a while, but I also knew a thing or two.

The palace is keeping this matter a secret now, presumably it has something to do with the face of the higher-ups.Since the higher-ups were unwilling to lose face, they turned around and even if Concubine Yuan was really convicted, they would find another name, and even if they wanted to deal with Rongguo Mansion because of this, they would start from other places - the family was also full of blood. The target can be pulled out without damaging the royal family's reputation.But since we have found a reason, we probably have to discuss the matter as it stands.Wang Xifeng has been quiet in the past few years, Jing Xian has so much face after all, it is difficult to keep her rich, but it is not impossible to keep her safe.

What's more, Lin Mo originally agreed to this matter.

However, she only said that she wanted to protect Sister Feng, and she heard it in Jia Mu's ears, but it seemed that the stone in her heart had fallen to the ground, thank you very much.

Daiyu felt sad when she saw that her grandmother was still running around in her old age, but there was really nothing she could do about it.

A large family entrusts their entire future to one woman.

Even though she felt sorry for them, she clearly understood that poor people must have something to hate.
