The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

This is the second time that Kong Jingxian came to Rongguo Mansion. The last time she came, she kowtowed to the so-called grandmother with Lin Mo and her husband who didn't agree with her. After seeing a few more aunts, she left in a hurry.At that time, Sister Feng was very heavy. Although she wanted to be strong, she knew it was not good, so she didn't force herself to see Sister Feng, so this was the first time she saw Sister Feng.

Because there were so many people in the room, Sister Feng never thanked Daiyu, but only gave Daiyu a wink. Pinger attentively waited for Lin Baishi to sit down and drink tea, and said affectionately: "The old lady gave us this tea earlier. Grandma drank it, and our grandma felt frivolous when she drank it, thinking that Miss Lin must like it, she specially asked me to find it yesterday."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "She will sell it well. The left and right are just one or two cans of tea. After you finish eating, I won't give you new ones? I have to keep them for your sister."

Lin Bai said: "It's also part of her wish to be a cousin. I have heard Yu'er's brother mention it before, Yu'er is in the house, and the second cousin takes care of her. He feels sorry for her brother, so I will He said, since this is the case, let’s give someone a decent gift. In the end, before the gift was delivered, I drank your good tea again.”

Sister Feng said: "Since I have drunk our family's tea, if Cousin Lin's etiquette is bad, I will not obey." The whole room laughed, and Jia Mu hurriedly said, "Let's stop for a while, call the old lady." The in-laws heard the joke."

"What kind of joke is not a joke? We can tell it even if we are stupid. This is to make everyone happy. This is a lovely child. It is such a happy event to have a grandson. I still have to say a few jokes to call the old man The wife is happier. The old lady is very lucky." Lin Bai said with a smile.Daiyu sat on the side and said angrily: "Yes, yes, we are not as eloquent as Sister Feng, my aunt despises me and is jealous of my grandmother, right?"

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "Oh, this is terrible. It's all my fault for saying such a sentence. It would be great if it offended Sister Lin. Well, I don't dare to ask for gifts anymore. I'm the host. Please treat Sister Lin well." How about a meal to apologize to my sister?"

Jingxian said: "Sister, look at you, you scared my cousin. How dare you ask my cousin to spend money to visit my nephew today?" She lowered her head and teased the little girl in Lin Bai's arms for a while. The baby is also lacking in interest, "I told the uncle when I came, but the uncle said that the money and cloth are not fake, and the white jade is the horse for the gold. We dare not make a fool of ourselves. He also made two days of worry, it's nothing Good gift, I was still thinking about it when I saw him, so that the emperor saw that he had something on his mind, so he rewarded him with a wagtail incense rosary, saying that there were only two of them in total, and the other one was at King Jing's place, and this one, I gave it to him. Our uncle is here to borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

Jia Mu waited hurriedly and said, "It is our sin to disturb the Holy Majesty."

"It's not shocking or not. The emperor also said that our uncle's calligraphy was given by him. If the younger nephew also takes the literary style in the future, he will naturally give the calligraphy."

Sister Feng was overjoyed, and thankfully received the imperial gift of incense beads and the four treasures of the study.There are also several sets of lake pens and inkstones sent by Lin Mo, some clothes and shoes made by Lin Bai and Daiyu, and a piece of water-permeable white jade unicorn sent by Jing Xian.

"These gold and jade ones, the children from our family don't have a few dollars. This piece of jade is also rare, and the craftsmen who carve it are also famous. I hope my sister-in-law will not dislike it."

Jia Mu's eyes were sharp, and she told Sister Feng, "it's best to keep it."

"The old ancestor has good eyesight, but we still can't see it." Sister Feng said cautiously.

"How old are you, and how many things have you seen? This jade was originally presented by the king of Xinjiang to the empress dowager, and it is only a few dollars in the whole world. If I hadn't been lucky that year, I followed my mother to the palace to pay her respects. I don’t have such good luck.” Mother Jia sighed, “It’s Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.”

Kong Jingxian curled her lips and said, "Where is there a king in Xinjiang?" She didn't deny the origin of the jade, nor did she praise Jia Mu's knowledge like Sister Feng, but said, "This piece of jade is nothing, my cousin just keeps it. Now, take care of my sister, our uncle will thank you in the future!"

Her words were just right, and she pushed Lin Mo to a high position. Sister Feng thanked her again and again, and Mother Jia didn't know what to say. She always thought highly of herself, but she also understood that her two sons were in court Can't speak, now in the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing, you can still talk, it's all the legacy of the old Duke.And Lin Mo, the cheap grandson whom he looked down on the year before last, plays an important role in the household department. Scholars all over the world are willing to use Wen Xuangong's relationship.This Marquis of Jingyuan can no longer be said to have no real power.

What's more, he has the trust of the emperor.

Even though the thorough investigation of the Jiangnan salt case attracted many people's attention, the emperor never said anything about his actions from the beginning to the end.And he even visited Prince Zhong's Mansion several times, from the first time he was not allowed to enter to the last time Prince Zhong's son greeted him in person, causing a sensation in half the capital.

Jia's mother was not sure how Lin Moshi climbed to such a height.

She has lived for 80 years, what kind of child has she not seen?In terms of talent, he was born with a precious jade in his hand, so he has a great background, but Lin Mo, there have been rumors in Beijing that he was picked up by Lin Qing on the side of the road, his biological parents cannot be tested, he is the most humble , can have such good luck.

What qualifications does he have to stand at such a height and allow his wife to treat Rongguo Mansion like she is kind?

Daiyu teased the elder sister again, and talked with the sisters for a while.Lin Baishi and Jia Mu went to wipe the dominoes, leaving a few young people to gossip.Kong Jingxian scanned around slowly, and said to Daiyu: "When I came in front, I heard a little girl say, not to mention that Miss Bao is always generous, even Miss Shi's life is not so good, and she will always come back to her. The few close maids who have served her all gave presents, as if saying that I am stingy. My sister has lived here for a few years, why don't you introduce some maids with some background for my sister-in-law, so that I can also say goodbye Some money goes down, to break our family's name of being stingy?"

Tanchun and others frowned, who didn't know that Grandma Lin was going to lose her temper?Sister Feng hurriedly said: "Which one is so desperate to say that? I just took a few days off for my brother, and the girls in the family have become like this? It is to check the second wife's good temper. Third girl, is the eldest sister-in-law good-natured?" If you like to talk about people, you also take care of it."

Daiyu sneered: "Sister-in-law, why do you care about what they say? Whoever is stingy is generous, isn't it just talking about them to pass the time. Anyway, I have lived here for a few years and I am stingy, and my sister-in-law is doing it for me. If the pearls are sprinkled, our family will continue to be stingy because of me, a cheapskate."

Kong Jingxian also laughed.

This noble concubine is obviously more arrogant than her gentle husband.The hundreds of years of accumulation of the Kong family made her proud and decent.And because of her grandmother's relationship, people have to swallow their anger even if they are ridiculed by her.

Tanchun once saw her talk about Princess Nan'an with his own eyes, and the look in the eyes of the county lord at that time really made people shudder.She has a good relationship with Daiyu, but she doesn't look warm, she is as cold as Miaoyu.Baoyu, on the other hand, heard that Daiyu's sister-in-law is cold and unreasonable, but she said happily, "Sister Lin has a temperament like that. If I get a lay sister-in-law, I will worry about her. Now it sounds like this cousin Sister-in-law is not a follower, so she must be able to talk to Sister Lin."

At that time Tanchun was so angry that he had nothing to say, but it was Baochai who said, "Brother Bao, you are right, but I don't think that sister-in-law Lin and sister Lin have anything to say. You heard what third sister said, How did sister-in-law Lin talk to Princess Nan'an? In terms of age, the princess is naturally the elder, but in terms of status, the princess is not older than the county monarch? Sister-in-law Lin is a bit rude. You see, sister Lin has some temper, but Have you ever spoken to an elder like this?"

Baoyu was also a little nervous and worried about Daiyu, but he never spoke to Jingxian when Lin Mo and his wife came to kowtow to Jia Mu, but now when he came back and heard that the Lin family's female relatives were coming, he rushed to Sister Feng's yard excitedly up.

Xiren hurriedly followed behind: "Second Master, be careful where you step!"

Kong Jingxian frowned invisibly, then glanced at Daiyu, seeing that Daiyu also had a displeased face, she glanced behind her calmly, Que'er and Wen Ge hurried up to cover her and Daiyu with peacock blankets: "Second Grandma Lian has guests here, grandma, girl, let's go to the wife's place, maybe the wife is lucky today, I haven't seen sister Pingai come to withdraw money for a long time, I remember that the wife didn't bring a few pennies with her when she went out Woolen cloth."

Jing Xian took a look at her: "How can you know how much money the wife brings? Sometimes even sister Ping Ai may not know. But sister, maybe we should go and have a look." Xiao Hong looked at Sister Feng's face and said : "Grandma Lin, it's not a guest here, it's our Second Master Jiabao."

"Oh, the one who was born with jade in his mouth." Kong Jingxian said to Daiyu as if she had remembered something, "The uncle said that this second cousin of Bao's family is naughtier than Aunt Rong's second cousin." Not bad. When I was a child, I met my cousin of the Rong family. At that time, there was a child who laughed at the second sister of the Rong family, and was punched into the pool by him. "

Li Wan laughed: "It's really similar to our Baoyu."

Just as he was talking, Baoyu had already come into the room talking with Feng'er, and said all the way: "Today, everyone is so well-rounded. I have seen Mrs. Lin. Sister Lin is here too?"

Li Wan hurriedly stood up to say hello, and asked, "School is over? Have you ever greeted your ancestor and wife?"

"As soon as I came back, I went to say hello, and I also saw Aunt Lin." Baoyu hadn't seen Daiyu for a long time, and he really missed her. The dress, however, is not the same as those fish-eye pearls. He has a somewhat cold and aloof air on his body. The plum blossom at the corner of his eyebrow is exquisite and eye-catching, and his slender eyebrows are cold and serious. up?Unconsciously praised, "Biao sister-in-law is really like Dongmei Aoxue!"

Jing Xian frowned, and said in her heart: "I always knew that this devil king was shameless, but it's just that he has reached this point, he's an idiot!"

Daiyu snorted coldly: "It's so boring, can you say that?"

Seeing that Daiyu was angry, Baoyu said hurriedly, "Sister, calm down. I didn't intend to offend my sister-in-law. It's just that when it snowed in winter, Master Miaoyu of Changcui Temple sent me two plum blossoms. I saw that flower and the flower between sister-in-law's eyebrows." Tin is quite similar, and I get carried away for a moment, my sister-in-law forgive me."

Jingxian's hands trembled inadvertently, she turned her face to take a closer look at Baoyu, her face was like silver, her eyes were like lacquer, she really looked like a good skin.Thinking about Sister Yu, she couldn't help being splashed with a large bucket of ice water, which completely cooled her down: "What a master Miaoyu!"

"What?" Everyone in the room was confused.

"Sister-in-law, let's go and see Auntie." Daiyu saw that she was not in the right mood, so she hurried up to support her and said.

Kong Jingxian made up her mind: "Okay."

"Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing the heart, the person I thought was the best when I was a child is actually just beautifying her in my head. It's really a very disappointing thing." She said to herself in her heart.While feeling sorry for my stupidity, I also feel that I am ridiculously stupid.

Monk!

A playboy so much younger than her!

Baoyu only said that this fairy annoyed him, and seeing that sister Lin and sister-in-law Lin had a very good relationship, he scratched his head anxiously: "I said something wrong and offended sister-in-law. Don't blame sister-in-law, just calm down!"

Kong Jingxian looked at him coldly and shivered unconsciously.
