The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

When Lin Ke's family came back, they reported the Rongfu's reaction to Lin Mo, and learned Mrs. Wang's words again. Lin Mo frowned when he heard this: "The gift for the Rong family was given by my wife, but my name is Shandong. Buy more from Zhuangzi, how can the car and boat be full of a few letters? What a joke! This person does not weigh in on the joke. She is a woman in a deep house, and she speaks as if she saw it with her own eyes. It’s like a boat passing our family, and I’m not afraid of other people’s thinking.”

Lin Ke's family smiled and said: "That's exactly the reason. Just looking at the style of the Rongguo Mansion, I'm afraid I always feel that only my family is polite and sensible, and my relatives' family is not as good as my own."

"Forget it, you go back to the girl."

Lin Ke's family was a little hesitant. The girl loves to think too much on weekdays. This Jia's family is the girl's ancestral family. If the girl feels that the uncle looks down on her, what should I do?Or they may be overwhelmed, thinking that the Jia family is actually good, but they are just provoking servants... But no matter how worried they are, this is what the uncle ordered, and Lin Ke's family has to go back carefully. Be careful and careful, for fear that Daiyu will not be happy.

Who knew that Daiyu just sneered: "Grandmother's house has a lot of guests, and there are relatives as wealthy as the Xue family living there, so there is such an idea of ​​New Year's ceremony that doesn't look down on our family, I just pretend I didn't hear it. "

Lin Ke's family laughed awkwardly: "Young lady's words make a slave feel ashamed..."

"What's there to be ashamed of? You are from the Lin family, not from the Jia family. Don't care what they say about you! The New Year's gift is given by me, and the amount given is according to their family's order. Maybe they will give less, which is not fun. Our family should be simpler too?" Daiyu was half wronged and half resentful, she said it all at once, and turned her head into the room to feel sad.

Lin Ke's family hurriedly winked at Wen Ge, Wen Ge shook his head with a smile, winked inwardly, and whispered: "Master and Miss have been filial piety for the master for three years, which is not far from being filial piety. Relatives always have to move around, there are really not many relatives in this capital, unless you have the heart, you can't escape the communication in Rongguo Mansion."

Lin Ke's family was in a hurry: "What should I do?"

Wen Ge laughed and said, "Just look at the girl!"

This Daiyu, however, was completely discouraged by the Rongguo Mansion after taking charge of the family. The old people of the Lin family in Suzhou hand-copied the account books. The relationship between people should be in the book, and Daiyu just felt a toothache after reading it.When my mother was at home in the past, she praised the rules of the Rongguo Mansion to such an extent that there is no such thing as heaven and earth, why does it look different to me now?She even asked her father to benefit the Zhen family - she didn't know what her grandmother thought, even if her son-in-law did something wrong, he was an official ordered by the court. Even if she was the mother-in-law, she was not the ancestor of the Lin family, so how could she reprimand her father like that?Thinking of my father, who was nearly half a hundred years old at that time, he was upright and upright, and even the dignitaries in the capital could only admire him, but he was reprimanded by his grandmother, and he didn't dare to say anything, because he was living in Jia's house, and he was afraid of being wronged.

Lin Daiyu is a person of pure filial piety, but this filial piety is divided into kinship and estrangement. She is a descendant of the Lin family, so naturally the Lin family is the most important thing, and her parents are the most important. Although her grandmother is good to her, she is not good enough to let her Ignore the Jia family's use of their father!

However, Lin Mo also guessed this point. In the past two days, he just dialed a few words and told her about the absurdity of the Rongning Second Mansion. Daiyu felt dizzy and avoided Jia The family is like a snake and a scorpion.

"Father is an upright official. He has sat in the position of inspector of salt and censor for decades. He works hard for the country and the people. As a son, I dare not insult the family style of the Lin family. Good sister, brother reminds you, grandmother Things are a little out of control at home. If they turn around and ask us to come to our house and ask us to excuse their relatives who murdered, robbed, corrupted the law, I will not. reputation matters."

Daiyu naturally understands the Jia family's "killing people, stealing goods, corrupting the law", and she has heard of it before. Even the dignified and virtuous sister Bao just blamed that fool Xue for not being discerning, "I can't see this. What's so great about Xiangling, it's not worth killing someone for her." Daiyu looked at Xiangling and felt amiable, and the farther she went to Xue's house, when she heard what Ping'er and others said, Xue was a fool. The Jia family also contributed to the crime, and they felt a little unbearable, so they said to Lin Mo, "Brother, just don't worry."

What to worry about, how to rest assured, everything goes without saying.

Lin Mo is a very cunning person - so cunning that he will take advantage of his sister's feelings.As Wen Ge said, after three years of filial piety, some normal communication should begin. At that time, my classmates are the same age, and I have made good friends with noble families, including some old friends of the Confucian family. Many, he couldn't help a Jia family who was holding back.Therefore, he had to let his sister stay away from the Jia family before he was filial piety.

First, together with Rong Jia, he pointed out Jia Baoyu's absurd behavior. On the way back, he talked to his sister about girls' honors, and even called her sister's husband, and asked her to read those books about women's commandments and so on. I found some realistic examples and said it again. For example, the third girl of the Su family in the capital had already promised her that she would not marry. She must be the youngest son of Zhen Guogong as a concubine, and her own father was so angry. The other girls in the Su family couldn't get married to a good family, and Daiyu was terrified when she said that.

This Daiyu is also responsible. She remembered what Lin Mo said about her self-cultivation on behalf of the girls of the Lin family. Naturally, she had to regulate her words and deeds. The Jia family was so absurd that Daiyu couldn't help thinking that because of Baoyu According to my husband, I don't think much of the sisters of the Jia family. Fortunately... Although this idea passed for a while, it took root in my heart.

And the old man from the Lin family in Gusu deliberately showed her the account books at Lin Mo's suggestion, and told her about the master's hard work and embarrassment with snot and tears, and said that he was sincere afterward, and it was not because of Lin Mo at all. It made Daiyu so angry that her temples thumped, Wen Ge hurriedly picked up the peace of mind pills and gave her to swallow for better.Daiyu grabbed Wen Ge's hand and cried: "It's all right for them to bully me, Daddy is nearly fifty years old, why would they even let Daddy go!"

When Daiyu was already disheartened towards the Rongguo Mansion, Lin Mo was still not at ease, and bribed a few servants of the Rong family to say some gossip. Get involved with the Rongguo Mansion, otherwise your official career will be in jeopardy. The Lin family is really pitiful, he is the number one scholar in a good manner, what if the Rongguo Mansion blocks the way.

This Daiyu herself doesn't care about the pursuit of fame and fortune, but if others like it, she won't think it's wrong.What's more, Lin Mo said before that a good man's ambition is to be in the sky, and his wife and son are his true colors, which can protect the peace of the people in one side.Daiyu is also a person who has read the Four Books and Five Classics, so she naturally understands her brother's lofty ambitions, and she supports her a little bit in her heart. Since her brother has this ambition, her grandmother's family will be hindered... It's not that she never thought that the servants of the Rong family would talk nonsense, but She has also seen the actions of the Rongguo Mansion, and she can tell from the words and deeds of the female family members.Now it's not the time when grandfather is at home, the behavior of the uncles is indeed a little out of place, and the Rong family is right.

After all, it is the difference between closeness and closeness, since during the years when I was renting in Rongguo Mansion, my father never owed money to Rongguo Mansion, and those kindnesses were not as profound as described by the head of the grandmother's family.Father and brother have thought a lot about her, and Daiyu is not a person who accepts death, this Rongguo Mansion is as far away as it can be!

Daiyu is not a person who knows how to repay her kindness, but Lin Mo has sorted out a lot of benefactors - the capital officials who helped him a lot when his father was in office, the noble lady who had a good relationship with his mother back then, and his father's elder brother Naturally, Lin Mo personally thanked the teachers, but it was up to Daiyu to give gifts to the female relatives of the benefactor's family.The old people in the family who grew up with her and even her father also needed to be appeased. They were run over by the servants of the Jia family, and Daiyu felt very uncomfortable. Jia's.

Only now did Lin Mo feel relieved.

Many years later, Lin Mo was an extremely talented official, majoring in law books, making money well, caring for the people, building bridges and paving roads, building water conservancy, and rectifying the salt administration and medicine market. The kind is related to his perverse and unscrupulous style of acting, which can be seen from the fact that he can use his mind to the only sister he has always loved.

The entire Jingyuan Hou Mansion ushered in the new year when the masters were upset and the servants were secretly happy.

Rong Jia moved to her own mansion a long time ago - "It's not those skinless and shameless ones. My surname is not Lin. Even if I am a cousin, what does it look like to live here? Although I am not the owner of the Rong family, I don't think so What happened to the Rong family that my father embarrassed me! Others don’t know what happened to our Rong family.” Although he felt lonely during the Chinese New Year with sympathy for him, but for the sake of the face of the Rong family and the Lin family, Lin Mo naturally would not say anything. Telling him to come to my house to keep the New Year's Eve talking nonsense, just asked the servants to run a few more times, and gave him some firecrackers and other things-this year Jingyuan Hou is still in the filial piety period, and I dare not invite the show in my house The team is so lively!Two plates of dishes were rewarded from the palace, and he paid homage to his father and grandfather before putting them on the table, and then quietly instructed Daiyu: "The rewards from the palace were rewarded all the way to my father, and they were already cold. I don’t know if it has been touched on the royal table. Just to make sense, don’t eat it.”

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled - it's really interesting that my brother is not one of those pedantic people.

It's just that they don't know that these two dishes in the palace have ushered in an uproar in the officialdom of the capital.

The emperor has always practiced Tai Chi on the division of his father's sons, that is, his brothers, but his sons are not so procrastinating. Report to the Supreme Emperor, now that he is the emperor, it is not beyond the limit for his sons to be named princes, but in this way, the princes of his brothers will not look so honorable, especially the eldest son who is loyal and loyal. He was conferred the title of heir, but King Zhongshun was the only one who lost all face.

The third prince was floating in water, the eldest son of the middle palace, and with a wave of the emperor's ink pen, he was named the Prince of Qin.

This king of Qin was not blindly appointed.Although His Royal Highness is the son of the eldest son, when he was on duty the year before last, his methods were a bit more vicious, and he was merciless in doing things. Many clan officials did not like it, and even the emperor warned him. At the time of the seal, the third prince, Prince Qin, and the fifth prince, Prince Qi, made people's imaginations run wild.

Therefore, at the royal annual banquet, many people were determined to see what the Third Highness would do, but Shui Fu didn't mention the royal family members, but praised this year's new scholar—the chief examiner Zhou Hanlin is the father-in-law of his fifth younger brother, and he sold it well. When he mentioned the new subjects, he couldn't help but think of the last one. His Highness laughed and said, "Marquis Jingyuan's knowledge is very good."

The Holy One, Joy, gave two dishes and asked the angel to send them to Lin's house quickly.

It can be seen from this that His Highness the Third Highness has won the Sacred Heart, and Marquis Jing Yuan has clearly stood behind Shui Fu.

This made many old officials scoff. Now that the emperor is in good health, how many years has he been on the throne?The power in his hands has not yet been gathered, and he is thinking about his son?Although this Lin Mo is already a marquis, but he has neither real position nor power, how dare he get involved in these matters?After all, you can't do things well without hair on your mouth.

But the ladies don't think so.

During the grand banquet in the harem, the queen mother said that after the year, the emperor and the emperor were going to worship Confucius. The emperor wanted to go to Qufu to worship Confucius and enshrine Mount Tai. The emperor was worried that his body would be blocked. But it is the most important thing.

"Worshiping to Confucius and Mencius is such an important event, we people don't have the opportunity to take a look at it, and we dare not think about it. It's just that our family also has many aunts and grandmothers in Kong's house, but it's a pity that we can't see each other." The queen said.

The Empress Dowager also said: "Didn't the head and Princess Hui be given to the old marquis, and I heard that he will return to the capital next year? The emperor has been talking about it for a long time. He has seen the grown-up sister with his own eyes, but he has not seen her for decades. !"

The queen smiled and said: "That's right, isn't Aunt Hehui's little granddaughter promised to Marquis Jingyuan? Marquis Jingyuan's filial piety is almost over, and my aunt cherishes her granddaughter, so she specially wants to come here to marry her. wedding."

The queen mother was happy when she heard that the queen had praised Jingyuan Hou a lot.

The female relatives went back and talked to the husbands.But he was laughed at.

"The harem does not do the affairs of the former court! So what if the empress dowager likes it? What's more, although the Kong family is noble, no one is in the court hall. How can someone who has no blood relationship be compared to his own son! Don't go all out to please the Lin family. If you offend Prince Zhongshun, it will be the end of our family!" Li Guogong Liu Fang said to his wife.He was originally a military officer, and he couldn't read a basket of Dou Da's characters. He didn't care much about a Jinshi in his clan, and he didn't have much respect for the Kong family.
