The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

"I've always thought that the old lady of Rongguo Mansion has some skills." Shui Rong said.Lin Mo glanced at him in surprise. Among other things, with such a shrewd and capable Concubine Bei Jing standing there, it would be strange for Shui Rong to say that other people's mistresses are capable.However, what Shui Rong said made him feel that he had no way to refute: "After all, Jia Lian is not the head of the Rongguo Mansion? There is such a head, and the Rongguo Mansion has not been dispersed. Isn't it her ability?"

Lin Mo laughed: "Isn't it because of the Supreme Emperor and that person in the palace that no one has sued them yet? Well done, what are you talking about?" Shui Rong laughed loudly: "I beg my mother I went to the door, wanting to see if there is any room for slowing down, but at first their family almost got into a stalemate with the Nan'an Palace because of this, disregarding decades of old friendship? Now Nan'an Concubine is gloating, I heard that even the face I won’t give it anymore, just say it’s a pity that their family has no way to speak to the emperor.”

"Interfering in politics in the harem is a big taboo. However, the Nan'an Palace can't be so careless when it comes to inquiring about the palace?" Lin Mo said.Although anyone with a long brain would know that the surnamed Jia of the marriage cabinet must be the concubine's contribution, but can this matter be talked about?Now that the emperor has a birthday, the dead are taboo in the palace, even if a eunuch or maid is sick, she can hang herself as long as she can, not to mention the status of concubine Yuan.Shui Rong laughed: "But, there is nothing he can do if his family doesn't want to."

"After all, the emperor's destiny is in heaven, so I can't bear to part with my precious grandson..." Lin Mo was interrupted by Shui Rong before he finished speaking, "It's not because of that, her boss has done a lot of good things over the years, not to mention Dongfu. Concubine Yuan is dragging on for a while now, waiting for - when it's over, she will take care of herself."

"I thought, at least I could have a good time." Lin Mo was puzzled.Shui Rong said: "Naturally, we can have a good time, but when the good time is over, what should come will still come. The son-in-law's family can make such a big disturbance, let alone their family." Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, and said for a moment: "That's all , has nothing to do with me." Shui Rong sighed, "Why are you so indifferent."

"It's always been like this." Lin Mo said.

Naturally, Shui Rong is not alarmist, and the situation of the Jia family is indeed not optimistic.Rather, except for the Wang family, the other three families are not going well.Not to mention the Xue family, since Xue Pan married Xia Jingui, he had no peace for a moment, and there was a life lawsuit, but it couldn't be settled as usual, Xue Pan is still in the prison waiting to be executed by Qiu Hou.Originally counting on the emperor's holy birthday to pardon the world, but he didn't even pardon his own brother-in-law, so how could he be so kind?But let some petty thieves go out, it is considered righteous.Baochai's life in Yunjun Wang's mansion was also very unsatisfactory. Aunt Xue's hair was half gray in anxiety, and even Jia's mother felt sad when she saw it.But she soon couldn't take care of it anymore, and her life was going to be married overseas. Is there anything in the world that makes the old lady cry more bitterly?What's even more absurd is that at this time, Baoyu is still ignorant!

It's not that he didn't think about asking Wang Ziteng for help. Fortunately, it was his own nephew, but Wang Ziteng was firmer than the others they entrusted, and he told the worse news—when Shi Nai was released. , I am afraid that some disasters have been caused, and if it is not good, at least the Ministry of Households is urging the historians to owe the silver taels!They couldn't let go of the ostentation of being a double marquis, and they had seen with their own eyes how difficult their lives are now.What's more, the Jia family shouldn't have had such thoughts at the beginning. They wrote a letter to ask for orders in person. Even the emperor praised their "righteousness".

The four families have always been prosperous and all are prosperous, and the other three are not doing well. Could it be that Wang Ziteng can enjoy himself?Naturally, he is in a state of desperation, but he can still find ways to find out about Shi Nai's affairs, and he can also get people to take care of things so that Xue Pan's life in prison will not be so sad, but there is really nothing he can do about the Jia family's affairs. up.

As for Jia's mother's proposal, it is not impossible to ask Princess Fuyao to dislike Baoyu herself.However, she came here with [-] points of sincerity (at least she said so herself), so how could she be picky about the heroes bestowed by the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty?

But Aunt Zhao didn't know how to understand her, and said nonsense, "Isn't this a good thing? Brother Bao is going to be a Phoenix", so angry that Mrs. Wang could only wish to beat her herself, but she couldn't bear her face. He fell ill like Jia's mother.Fortunately, it was Tanchun who tried to persuade her: "Auntie, just say a few words less. What good does it do you to make others dislike you? Do you really think that it will be Brother Huan's turn?" She blocked her mouth.

They were at a loss, and even Xiangyun, who was married as a woman, came with a bad face. Baoyu couldn't see a girl sad, especially Xiangyun, who was so forthright. How many times can I see you in a year? I thought, sisters and sisters went to other people’s homes. I don’t know whether the food is good or the living conditions are good. What’s the point of leaving me alone at home. I said first, If I want to do this, I might as well shave my head and become a monk. What's wrong now?"

Xiangyun couldn't bear it anymore, he only hated that he was married as a woman, and he couldn't scold him for something wrong with his brain as brazenly as before. Thinking of his parents' early death, only Mother Jia felt sorry for herself, when she was young and ignorant, because Baoyu was handsome and gentle, and she had thought of something different, even when Xiren taught her to make shoes for Baoyu, she didn't think she was overstepping the rules.Now that she is married to the Wei family, Wei Ruolan is also young and handsome, she is content in her heart, but secretly misses Baoyu, thinking how sad Jiamu will be when he left this time, she can't help it anymore , I actually moved out the address I used when I was a child: "Since the second elder brother said that, I was worrying for nothing!" Then I turned my head and went out.

It's just that the people she can talk to are limited.It turned out that when they were not married, they often came to Jia's house to play. When Daiyu was still there, the two often slept together. Yes, continue to chant poetry.Then Daiyu went back with her brother. Fortunately, there was another sister Bao who was very good at taking care of others, but now even sister Bao has gone out.She wanted to talk to Tanchun, but when she heard that Tanchun was at Li Wan's place and Jia Lan was waiting by her side, she felt blocked, so she didn't plan to go.I just thought that if the second elder brother left, Lang Geer would be the rightful heir to the second house, and the elder sister-in-law would not have to stay in the house as before and ask questions—she still understood the truth that she was married as a woman.

After much deliberation, I still went to see Sister Feng.

Sister Feng is now An Xin as the shopkeeper, so when she sees her, first ask her how she is doing at Wei's house.Xiangyun only picked good things to say—even if he said something bad, wouldn't the Jia family stand up for her and offend her in-laws for no reason.Sister Qiao was having fun when she saw a young and literate aunt who was obsessed with reciting poems. Xiangyun also played with her for a while, and felt much better.

Xiangyun is not a numb person either. When talking to Mother Jia earlier, she realized that although the old lady was indifferent to Sister Feng, she still liked her in her heart. She thought that she would help take care of the house, but she is now an outsider, which is not good. cut in.So he said a few words in a neutral manner, and asked where Ping'er had gone.Sister Feng curled her lips and snorted coldly, "Look at her second grandma."

Xiangyun was dumbfounded. During the Chinese New Year, there was so much commotion about this matter that even she had heard about it a lot, but according to her thinking, with Sister Feng's temperament, she had already dealt with Second Sister You.How did you really endure until today?

While they were talking, Ping'er had come back and saw her: "Ms. Shi...Grandma Wei San is here." Then she winked at Sister Feng quietly, and after Sister Feng nodded, she first smiled at Xiangyun, "Look at me, I am losing my memory more and more, but Grandma Wei San is still the same."

"It's only been a while, how can it change." Xiangyun said.

"I remember that at that time, the third girl was the host and set up some kind of poetry club. Together with the elder sister-in-law, I took care of my money. You said at that time, I will cook it for you. You can treat them alone. Three poems? I can't read the big characters, but I am very happy to see you." Sister Feng squinted her eyes, and patted the sleeping Jia Wei, "I'm afraid I don't have the opportunity to contribute to you now."

Xiangyun had a sore nose, and said coquettishly, "I really plan to rely on you for food."

"Okay, okay, then I robbed my ancestors."

Xiangyun tried to ask: "Simply, shall we go eat the old lady's together?"

Sister Feng pursed her lips, and finally said "OK".

She was originally a warm-hearted person, and when she dressed up and went to Jia Mu's place, she burst into laughter again, completely unaware of the awkwardness of years ago, but even though it was a joke, Jia Mu didn't feel good, just Sitting on the couch, Yuanyang hammered her back herself, and she said again: "You can also go to see the second wife later, I don't know how she is sick."

Sister Feng said: "The second wife is worried about your mother and Baoyu, and she got anxious for a while... What did the imperial doctor say?"

"Hey." Mother Jia also sighed, and ordered to bring the favorite dishes of Second Grandma and Yatou Yun, also called Baoyu, Li Wan, Tanchun Xichun, etc., "It should be lively or lively, you Yun It's not easy for my sister to come to our house."

The room was full of people sitting down, and it seemed that only Baochai was missing to welcome the spring, but everyone was bored, far from the excitement of the past.I had to bring sister Qiao over again to have fun and listen to her childish voice, that's all.

Baoyu finally realized the so-called parting.For a while, he was dumbfounded, unable to speak.

Sister Feng thought that the others were all girls, and Li Wan was silent, so she had to tell her some things, so that Jia Mu would look at her differently, so she said to Baoyu, "After we finish our meal in a while, let's go to the second wife together." Please rest."

Before Baoyu could reply, Mother Jia sighed, "It's rare that you have the heart. Go and see her."

After they finished these two sentences, Xiangyun suddenly felt that he was really an outsider, and the meal was late, so he didn't feel much.
