The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

It is extremely easy to ask Cao Shangshu to ask for leave, even though he has already asked for leave twice not long after he came to the household department.But no one would embarrass the emperor and the celebrity in the eyes of the third prince.What's more, his marriage with Lord Jingning is well known because of the high profile of Princess Hui.

Some people also suspected that the Kong family was so urgent that they wanted to force the marriage, but no one had the guts to question it.

When the invitation was delivered to Rongning Second Mansion, Mother Jia couldn't figure out what Daiyu was thinking now.The letter from the Zhen family was very clear. Lin Mo never let Zhen Yingjia go because of her relationship, especially now that the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have teamed up. Hou Jingyuan said that Lin Hai was originally responsible for this matter. He said a lot of harsh words.Mother Jia also had thoughts in her heart. No matter what, she was the grandmother of the Lin family, so she had to invite her family to go when she got married. Then she would briefly mention the current relationship between the Jia Lin family in front of all the guests, and see how he Don't want to face.

Daiyu is becoming more and more estranged from her now, but the letters she exchanged with Jia Min at the beginning, saying that she would promise Daiyu to Baoyu, now that Min'er is gone, it is not easy to take them out directly.Now she can see that Lin Mo is not in line with his wishes, so no matter what kind of face and friendship, it must be a mess.Now that the Lin family has invited elders to take care of it, it looks like they don't need their grandmother to worry about helping them at all.

Jia's mother is also bitter in her heart, but if her sons and grandchildren are up to the challenge, why would she put down her old face and be angry with a junior.

The princess of Nan'an originally had the idea of ​​giving Tanchun Xu to Shui Rong as a side concubine. The side concubine of the county king is also of high grade. Come, naturally it is easier to win over water-soluble.Who knew that Zhou Hui's expression would change after just mentioning it briefly, which is understandable, but which king or prime minister doesn't have three wives and four concubines?It is also an ancestral practice for the county king to accept the side concubine first and then welcome the main concubine. Although King Beijing is not a person who follows the rules, Zhou Hui is from the Zhou family, so he should persuade her husband.

"Old sister, are you looking down on our lord? What is the grade of the side concubine? Is her father a fifth-rank? She was raised by my aunt. How do you let me take it out in the future and tell others that this is our lord's side concubine? It's me. sister?" Zhou Hui glared, "Old sister, what you said just now, did you doubt the Zhou family's tutor, or the prince's family? The concubines you gave to the prince of Nan'an are all girls from the Liu family. Are we so inferior? "

Princess Nan'an was speechless by what she said.

Before Zhou Hui got married, everyone thought she was easy to deal with, but now Shui Rong has given her enough capital to raise her head and speak, and in return, she has also shown the pride and demeanor that the mistress of the Beijing Palace should have. Opened the eyes of many people.

"It's strange that Jingning always said that among the girls in the Zhou family, Hui girl fell in love with her the most. I was wondering if I would be wronged by King Beijing after all when I was a little older. Looking at it now, it's really a good one." .” The queen laughed.

Princess He Hui said: "Jing Ning is just a little girl, what do you know! But Princess Bei Jing is indeed a good person, it's better if she is older, she looks calm, and I heard that she has already helped the concubine with housework?"

Concubine Bei Jing hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, no, I came to the palace specially to thank Empress Empress for being a great matchmaker."

"I can't afford it. The emperor ordered me to choose a good one for Rong'er. The empress dowager was too picky, and it was very difficult for her to fall in love with this girl." The empress laughed, "It's a pity that the empress dowager I ate half an extra peach last night, and now I feel a little upset, otherwise the concubine would have to thank the queen mother again."

"That's right, when the Empress Dowager is in good health, the servants still have to come over to say hello, thank you very much, Empress Dowager." Bei Jing Dowager is well-known among noble ladies for her ability to talk.Other people's children are all cardamom girls, but their family's Shui Rong pointed out that they have passed Double Ten. If you want to say that she really has no grievances, it is really nonsense, but she just has the ability to not show it at all. , Coaxed the empress dowager happy.

Then he brought the topic to Kong Jingxian: "Mr. Jingning's marriage is coming soon, right? Our family, Rong'er, gets along well with Marquis Jingyuan. I often say in the past few days that Marquis Jingyuan is probably nervous, but he is sleeping. Not so good."

The queen asked, "How is your spirit now?" Then she glanced at the eldest princess, "It's not good to delay the marriage."

"Don't worry about it. If Rong'er comes back, he will definitely not look like that. Wasn't Marquis Jingyuan from the Lin family in Jinan before? I heard that the current imperial doctor Lin is still his nephew, and he is the best at taking care of his body. Rong'er said that It’s just that I’m a little nervous, but my energy is not too bad. I came to our house to drink tea a few days ago. She’s really a handsome and polite child.” Concubine Bei Jing smiled and complimented Princess He Hui, “Jingning Blessed is the Junjun, he is a child who will love others."

Princess He Hui smiled and said, "Auspicious words from Concubine Tai. Our family Jing Ning is ignorant, and it is thanks to Jing Yuan Hou who is so calm that he can support her. I have heard about the relationship between King Jing Yuan and Jing Yuan Hou before." Well, I didn't expect it to be so good. When Jing Yuanhou was in Shandong, he studied at the Confucian family's home. I have met him, and he has many friends, but there are really few who can get along so closely."

"Perhaps Rong'er saw him fall in love and stuck to him!" Dou Concubine Bei Jing said, making the queen and others laugh.

"We women and Taoists are not allowed to interrupt the affairs of the previous dynasty, but the emperor has also mentioned that among the young talents in the court, Bei Jing and Jing Yuan are the two most capable of handling affairs." The queen's words stopped short, called He Hui Princess Dachang and Concubine Beijing looked at each other and smiled, their hearts were full of irony.

There is a reason for the harmony between the emperor and the empress. Compared with the young and beautiful concubines today, the empress is more loved and respected by the clan.

After Princess Hehui returned to the Princess Mansion, she said to Kong Jingxian who was married: "Put away your arrogance. Marquis Jingyuan is not an ordinary person. Now Mrs. Lin is here again. If you are manipulated by others to learn the three obediences and four virtues again, my picture I can't hold back my old face." Then she said to Kong Jingrong who came to pay her respects: "I know you love your sister, but you also know Jingyuan Hou, if there is something unhappy about the young husband and wife in the future, don't get too hot-headed, and the two sides will be together. Listen to them all."

Kong Jingrong said: "Brother Lin has been my classmate for so many years, and I know his temper best. How could he have disputes with my sister? The princess is too worried."

She is the princess of the court and she is a "Jingyuanhou". These grandchildren have not expressed anything about their titles. Princess Hehui sighed: "Don't think about your sister, your own marriage. How do you think?"

Kong Jingrong bowed her head and remained silent.

"Think about how Jing Yuanhou came to our house to propose marriage when he was five or six years old. Look at yourself." The princess couldn't say anything about her most beloved grandson, so she said, "So the queen said that she would bestow a marriage. I saw that you didn't seem very happy, so I gave you a resignation."

Kong Jingrong hurriedly saluted and thanked her.

"Do you think it's a troublesome thing for the queen to give you a marriage? Thank you so much." Princess Hehui smiled and said, "It's nothing more than asking ordinary people to marry you. Do you think Jingyuan Hou has seen Jingxian? It was your mother who told you about your marriage, and she wouldn't tell you about the one in your heart." She slowed down, "The eldest grandson's family is also everyone, what kind of girl do you think your mother will choose for you?"

Kong Jingrong knelt on the ground, speechless.

"Don't be so naive, why do you think I want to harm your own children and grandchildren?" The princess shook her hands with a sense of powerlessness, "You go on, think carefully about what I said today, forget it, you also Don't think about it. I have a few more years to live."

"Princess, how can my grandson live up to it?" Kong Jingrong said with tears on the ground.

The well-dressed Princess Hehui stopped talking.

Even though she was once a legend of the entire dynasty, she is old, and she will never return to the bold era when she helped her elder brother to fight for the throne and the Supreme Emperor to fight for the throne.Courage, perseverance, and fear are all gone, only a trace of helplessness, and even a feeling of being broken.

She suddenly remembered the respectful and amiable Lin Molai that day.

The Lin family is blessed to have a son who is sincerely proud but humble enough. Although this son belongs to someone else's family, he is of the same root and family. Lin Mo is also a caring one. Bring her to the capital, and give her the honor of being the mother of the number one scholar, or even the mother of a prince.

She didn't know where Lin Mo came from. At first, because it was an abandoned baby that Lin Qing picked up from nowhere, the Kong family also thought about rejecting this marriage, and said to Princess Hui, "The Lin family is famous. People, I don’t need to talk about the child’s upbringing. Didn’t you praise this child a few days ago? I look good and have a good temperament. The eldest son of the Lin family, who cares what his original surname is? As long as the child is good."

At that time, she just wanted to prevent the Kong family from continuing to marry those so-called aristocratic families in the old dynasty, but she did not expect to help Jingxian find such a suitable child.

But now, she remembered Lin Mo's original surname.

If Concubine Bei Jing hadn't mentioned Shui Rong's friendship with Lin Mo today, she would hardly have thought about it.

When she came to Beijing from Jinan, she would naturally pass by the imperial tomb to pay respects to her ancestors. Now guarding the imperial tomb is King Zhongyi, the eldest son of Yizhong, who is only in his early twenties. Because of his father, he is very nervous. Her eyes were gloomy, but her eyes made her, an old man who had experienced many trials and hardships, tremble with fear.

She always thought Lin Mo looked familiar, but finally remembered that the child's eyes were so similar to King Zhongyi's.

It's just that King Zhongyi's insidiousness can still be seen, but he is a humble gentleman praised by everyone.

Princess Hehui's mind has always been deep, and no one knows how far she can go, but she is looking forward to what Lin Mo will become, with some trepidation.

On the day of Lin Mo's wedding, he first met Jingning Junjun's ten-mile red makeup, and then met Jingning Junjun.

The moment Xipa jumped away, he suddenly burst out laughing.

The little girl who was called Xiaomi Duanzi by her aunt back then is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, except for the scar on the corner of her eyebrow, she has a delicate face and a graceful figure, and she doesn't look much older than Daiyu Although his face was calm, he could still see the nervousness in his fingers twisting the hem of his clothes.

Whether it was the virtuous and virtuous young lady of the Kong family who was praised by everyone, or the arrogant Jingning Junjun who finally learned about it, or the not-so-smart person who offended Concubine Xiande as soon as he entered the palace, In any case, after all, he was only a teenager who had been raised in a deep boudoir.

It's just that on such a happy day, her expression was indeed a bit out of place, and even Xi Niang and her personal servants were embarrassed.

Lin Mo smiled slightly and said: "Now I can be regarded as a person with a family and a business."

The dowry mother Li laughed and said, "Master Hou has been looking forward to this day for a long time, right? The Lord Xiaojun is even shy."

"Nurse, from now on, it's time to change your mouth." Lin Mo smiled sharply, Xi Niang rushed up and asked them to use dessert fruit, Lin Mo smiled, but Kong Jingxian frowned, and asked: " Theoretically speaking, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and if you marry a dog, follow the dog, I shouldn't ask too much, but my lord, do you prefer to be the Marquis of Jingyuan now, or the uncle of the Lin family?"

Li Momo's heart skipped a beat, she stared at Lin Mo's eyes, and was about to come up to smooth things over, but Lin Mo didn't care, "Why do you need to ask me so many times? Anyway, you were the concubine when I was the Marquis of Jingyuan. When you were the uncle of the Lin family, you were a grandma, and it was not a big deal, so what should you be?"

Kong Jingxian sneered, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Mo: "But since the lady asked, I might as well tell the truth. If I go back to Shandong, I will naturally be the uncle of the Lin family, but when I leave Jinan Mansion, I will be the uncle of the Lin family." Marquis Jingyuan, do you remember, my lady?" He turned his head and said, "Mother, remember for Grandma, this is not Qufu, and the rules are different. You can learn from our mothers first, and then say Tell grandma. Now, let's not mention it, there will be a long time."

Nanny Li laughed more and more awkwardly, Xi Niang came up and said: "Master Hou, don't let the beautiful scenery of this beautiful day be missed."

"That's right." Lin Mo tilted his head and suddenly laughed.

Jingxian was full of anger, and was about to sneer at him, but when she looked up, she saw his smile and felt chills.

She collected herself and clenched her fingers.

"Master!" Lingge yelled out the window, "The wife and the girl are seeing off the guests. Second Master Rong asked, can the gentlemen leave?"

"Let's go." He waved his hand, and there was no emotion in his tone.

When the husband and wife were alone, Jingxian asked: "Did your lord just give me a blow?"

"I actually don't want to spoil the fun today." Lin Mo refused to speak anymore.
