The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The situation of Kong Jingxian made Daiyu a little scared.She had to admit that this sister-in-law from a famous family had put a lot of pressure on her. Fortunately, the Concubine's daughter-in-law was very well-behaved. No matter what he thought in his heart when Mr. Jingning married, although he was a bit colder, he still showed a good attitude. Respecting her husband, even when she drove back to Qufu with Princess Hui, she handed over a post from the Jingyuan Hou Mansion to meet her.But Daiyu is not a stupid girl. If her sister-in-law's natal family is so noble, no one can tell whether she thinks her husband's family is better than her natal family's or because of face.Just think about it.

Daiyu has never had a hard time getting along with anyone.She has such a personality, and she seldom quarrels. When she is unhappy, she just hides and cries. Well, if they really wanted them to talk about how stingy she was, they couldn't tell.What's more, Kong Jingxian's personality is right there, the two admire each other's aura, and they can only get along better.

But this situation was too embarrassing. Although she didn't like Baoyu very much, she also felt that it was not good when she saw that he was about to cry, so she went up to support Jingxian and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go quickly." Go and see Auntie. Usually, if Sister Feng accompanied the old lady to play cards, Qian Ping'er would have given her money earlier. Today, it's Second Aunt and Sister-in-law You, both of whom are the old lady's old partners. I know how my aunt loses!"

Lin Baishi is a guest and a junior, so she always wants to give Jia Mu a few cards.The Lin family does not lack this small amount of money, and the Lin Bai family does not like to play cards on weekdays, and does not care about winning or losing.The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law knew that their aunt had enough money, but they still got up.Baoyu hadn't been able to talk to Daiyu yet, so she followed behind all the way anxiously, but the two of them brought a lot of maidservants, and the maidservants were afraid that they would crowd the second master Bao, and they were afraid that he would get close to the grandma. The same girl was unhappy and panicked.

Xiren hurriedly said, "I'll show Grandma Lin the way."

Kong Jingxian glanced at her up and down: "This girl is"

"What kind of girl is a slave girl?" Xiren blushed and said, "I am the girl in the room of Second Master Bao."

"Is that the one who is full of flowers and suddenly warm?" Jingxian said, "I once heard that the girl Wenyin next to our uncle said that you must have come to our house with my second cousin? The Zijuan next to my sister also As I said, Xiren is the first person in the second cousin's house."

What she said was ambiguous and nondescript, suffocating, but she still forced herself to laugh and said: "I'm just a girl." You want to name me Que Qing, but luckily the princess won’t let me, otherwise I won’t look like a member of Xi’er’s family here today.”

Xiren just lowered his head when he heard this, and Jingxian said: "Grandpa Lu's good sentence, except for Shen Yuan who didn't know the so-called harming people's names, I also liked this sentence at first. The princess said that in addition to "Village Residence", Lu Fangweng also wrote "Twelfth Moon" Fourteen Days of Rain, tell me not to call you that." Fortunately, she only said this, and Baoyu sighed: "My cousin loves Lu Gong's poems?"

"No, I don't like it at all." Kong Jingxian said casually, "I never liked it."

Xiren was baffled by what he heard, but Baoyu couldn't say a word after hearing this. He just stood in the corridor, as if he was stupid. Grandma Lin and Miss Lin are going to the ancestor's place." Only then did he come to his senses, and took a few steps to keep up.

Lin Baishi is sharp-eyed. Although Kong Jingxian has no expression throughout the year, she can tell what is going on just by looking at her eyes. She calmly gave Jiamu another card, and spread her hands deliberately: "I won't come, I lost enough today. Xian'er came to look at the cards for me, why do I always lose?"

Daiyu said jokingly: "We were still talking about why Sister Pingai didn't come to withdraw the money, and she was counting on the aunt to win the money. Now it's nothing."

"Why not? It's as if my grandmother doesn't do anything." Mother Jia sighed, and said to Youshi, "I said earlier that my granddaughter will forget her grandmother when she has an older brother. The two of them Instead, they pulled me one by one, talking sweetly, and only made me, an old woman, happy, but listen, after saying this today, my heart is still towards my aunt, and I won’t be able to win even if I win a lot of money.”

You Shi laughed and said: "What the old ancestor said, when Feng girl played cards with you, Ping'er pretended to be hurt a few times? Didn't she warmly send money later? I can only blame the old ancestor for being too good at playing cards, and not Aunt Lin doesn't feel bad for the money if she is willing to give way to the younger generation, it's just a few jokes."

Lin Baishi unhurriedly pulled out her finger that was tucked into the silver-inlaid satin sleeve, tapped Daiyu's forehead and said, "Look at what you said, even if I lose everything, I won't dare to cut your meal short." Well." He said to Jia Mu with a smile, "The last time the old lady's family's second master Bao sent a message, saying that their sisters started a poetry club, Miss Xue and Miss Smith were hosts, and they wanted to invite crabs, but why? There is something going on in our house. First, Xianer told us that if the old lady is happy, bring the girls and come to our house to eat some fresh aquatic products. Xianer said, Rongguo Mansion has nothing to eat in the dignified state mansion. Come here Let's eat it at home, it's also good for freshness."

After so many years, Jia's mother also understood Lin Bai's meaning in her heart.At the beginning, Lin Mo's estrangement from Rongguo Mansion could be seen by anyone without eyes, but she couldn't say it.And when Lin Baishi came, he was neither cold nor indifferent, it was just a matter of face.But the person took the initiative to come over, and she knew in her heart that Lin Bai's invitation was not so much a show of favor as a temptation.The Jia family's foundation is in Jinling, but its prosperity is in the capital, but the connection with Jinling is still inextricably linked.She also vaguely mentioned the old relatives of the Zhen family at the poker table just now, but Lin Bai brought the topic to the girls of the Zhen family. Can't tell what she meant?

"The last time Xian'er went to the palace to pay her respects, she met the third girl of the Zhen family. When she came back, she told me that she was quite similar to Zhen Gui, but she didn't meet the concubine Yuan. Xian'er said that she was ignorant at first, If you offended the empress, don't be annoyed by the empress, if the old lady is willing to speak for her, it would be great."

Kong Jingxian doesn't go to the palace very often. First, she and Princess Hui have already returned to Shandong. Second, Jingyuan Hou is not a person who likes to be associated with the palace. She herself doesn't like to kowtow when she sees people. Talk to a few relatives who are pleasing to the eye.The few times she entered the palace, they were all grand banquets in the palace, and noble Zhen and her natal relatives could see each other, but the noble concubine Yuan Chun couldn't see these noble women and wives. Jia Mu knew what this meant.

It's just that the Zhen family and the Jia family are all prosperous, aren't they?Why can the daughter of the Zhen family see the sun, but Yuan Chun of the Jia family cannot see her?

Mother Jia smiled and replied, "Mrs. Lin, don't forget it. I remember it!" Then she ordered Yuanyang, "Bring the milk Poria cocos cream that the empress gave you earlier. Let's make a cushion for the guests. The Zhuangzi of the family also sent some fresh goods a few days ago, and some were sent by the elder brother of the Xue family. It was the first time I saw such a big pumpkin in my life for so many years. Mrs. Lin also tasted it. He asked again: "Shouldn't Brother Lin be on duty?"

"It's almost too soon, but his time is always uncertain. This morning Xian'er told him that we are going to come to your mansion to greet the old lady. Look at the second grandma's young son. He came here as soon as he answered the court. I have to bother the old lady."

To be honest, Mother Jia was still a little apprehensive looking at Lin Mo. The child had a bit of evil luck. Although he was always smiling, there was always something superior in his words.When Jia's mother first talked to Yuan Chun, she also mentioned the influence of the Lin family in the officialdom. If Baoyu can marry Daiyu, she must have some help. What I said, I think the cousin of the Xue family is suitable. It is true that the majesty did not see the appearance of the king of Jingning County with his nostrils upturned. "

Marquis Lin has a bright future, his lovely wife is an upright royal relative, and his relatives are simple. The Lin family in Shandong has a solid family background, and the third master of the Tai Hospital is hardworking. Since then, few nobles in the court have not been saved by the Lin family's life-saving grace, and their relationship with the inner palace has also become close.In his position, it is easy to offend people, but it is even easier to bribe people.

"Marquis Jingyuan's life is good. Brother Hai has no son in his life. Let him go. Otherwise, even if he is the number one scholar in high school and the best son-in-law of the Kong family, he may not be able to make it to the top." Li Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is Lin Hai In the same year, now only a few of their elders dare to comment on Lin Mo so publicly.

Jia's mother deeply felt that Lin Mo was really a hot piece of meat, and she wanted to win her over, but she was afraid of being hot, and she wanted to let go, but she was really reluctant.

She didn't understand how the old man chose Lin Hai as his son-in-law after thousands of choices. The old man told her: "Don't underestimate the Lin family, five generations of princes, and the son-in-law was born in Tanhua. She's low-key, but being rich is all about being sensitive!" Later, Lin Hai was promoted all the way, but it's a pity that until her hard-fated daughter passed away, she could only see the family's wealth from the annual ceremony of the Lin family.And when Lin Mo entered the court, the young man was full of vigor, with a gentle and restrained smile, turning the entire household into his stage.

The one who had the same thought as her was Shui Rong.

Shui Rong knew Lin Mo's life experience early on, and knew that he was not simple. He thought he was careful enough, but he didn't expect to underestimate Marquis Jingyuan. He knew this from the day he knocked on the door of Marquis Jingyuan's mansion with a wound. Lin Mo's mind is definitely not simple, but what can he do?

He needed Lin Mo's status in the emperor's heart, and he was betting on it.

He didn't go to Lin Mo to dispense medicine in the past two months, but a shopkeeper came to the Lin family medicine hall, but it was not him but Zhou's who came to see him, and he also prescribed a lot of good prescriptions for preventing miscarriage.Regarding this, the concubine also specifically told Zhou: "I know that you have a good relationship with Concubine Jingyuan, but our family is a bit particular, and it will take a few months to talk to relatives and friends." Zhou nodded in response, She only said that she was so happy that she forgot her love for a while, and that only Shui Rong knew her innocence. Although her friendship with Kong Jingxian was broken, she didn't tell Kong.

Everything was guessed by Lin Mo himself.

How smart he is.

Shui Rong had just met Shui Fu, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking about His Highness the Third Highness now, he only knew that the fact that Shui Fu wanted frightened him.The Beijing Palace is not his own. Those hidden guards were publicly dismissed by his grandfather - if he is still useful, it will be a disaster.

He doesn't mind using others for the sake of floating, even using himself, but it's not enough to lose the entire Beijing Palace.

He just bid farewell to Shui Fu, but met Lin Mo on the road.

Sitting in the carriage, he heard the butler say outside: "My lord, it seems to be Marquis Jingyuan in front."

Although it was unexpected, it was not far from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He knew where Shui Fu came to find him, so as the right-hand man of the Third Highness, Lin Mo's presence here was really reasonable.

Shui Rong lifted the curtain of the car and took a look. The young Jing Yuanhou was not sitting in a sedan chair, but was riding a tall dark horse, wearing a fine attire and a high spirit.

He looked at it for a while, then lowered the curtain.

No matter what happens, no matter how unsatisfactory the case develops, no matter how anxious Shui Fu looks, no matter how much Shui Rong thinks that he didn't provoke him at the beginning, this person always looks calm and content.But Shui Rong once saw the eulogy he wrote in his father's ancestral hall when he was seven or eight years old. The words that made Shui Fu unforgettable at first sight were naturally impassioned. This person was not as meek and harmless as he looked.

Since he became a filial piety, many people have been waiting to see his jokes, and many people, such as King Zhongshun and King Zhongzhong, even plan to trip him up a few times.But he just smiled so tepidly, doing what others told him to do, neither talking nor doing too much.Even the Supreme Emperor, who originally blamed him for being "too aggressive", had no choice but to tell the Eldest Princess when she left Beijing: "Jing Ning married a good family."

As Li Yushi said, if it was only given to Lin Hai, he would be regarded as a high-ranking King of Jingning County now, but since he inherited Lin Hai's title, he and Kong Jingxian are really in the same family, and he has entered the palace twice, and the picky Supreme Emperor also said I can't figure out what's wrong with him-the etiquette and the answers are all one in a thousand.In addition, he has a handsome face and can talk, which is quite popular with the elderly.

There is only one girl in the Jingyuan Hou Mansion, she is still young, but she has reached the age of marriage, she was raised by Kong herself, she was taken out by Jing Xian to meet the noble ladies in Beijing, she is not like Jia's family. The second wife described her as weak and weak, although she looked weak, but her complexion was good, her features were clear and handsome, she looked like a beauty.Jingxian once entered the palace wearing clothes made by her sister-in-law. Not to mention her ingenuity, this kind of intention is also rare.

In particular, the Hou Ye couple valued this sister very much.Jingxian never forgets her sister-in-law when she goes out to socialize, and Lin Mo is a sister-in-law. Whoever gets such a daughter-in-law will definitely get the support of Jingyuanhou, and there is great hope in her official career.

But it also means that every move of the family in the future will also be related to the Jingyuan Hou Mansion.

There are many people who have moved their minds, and the Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion is not very good at it.Youshi once heard General Wei's wife keep asking Lin Baishi about Daiyu at General Feng Tang's residence, but Lin Baishi said with a smile: "Our girl is still young." prevarication to go.

There are quite a few young talents in the court. Although Lin Mo is such a weak year, there are not many high school champions who occupy high positions, but there are also many who study diligently and make progress. A generation of Tanhua and a generation of top scholars naturally only need scholars to choose in-laws, and many people also have a bottom line in their hearts. Two cousins, one surnamed Jia and the other surnamed Rong, it seems that the elders of the two families are interested.I don't know what the Lin family thinks.

No one knows what Rong Jia is thinking, he is just a child, but everyone can see Rong Bai's thoughts, when Lin Bai was not in Beijing, she was entrusted to take Daiyu out to socialize , Later, I got some rare gadgets, and I never forgot to send a copy to the Lin family.

Jia Mu secretly compared her own treasure jade with Rong Jia-there is really no comparison.

Several people were drinking tea when Baoyu suddenly said, "Ah, it's raining."

As expected, raindrops began to drip outside the house. It was already dark today, and the house was lit again, so no one noticed it. When Baoyu mentioned it, they all looked out. Rain point, can only see a dense color, it seems like a dream.

It was quiet for a while, and the quiet scenery made Jia's mother not only sigh: "It must rain like this to be beautiful."

Just as he was watching, Lin Zhixiao's family came in with the curtain hanging: "Old Ancestor, Uncle Lin has arrived."

Daiyu couldn't help saying: "It's raining, brother, is he drenched?"

"Miss Lin, don't worry, the servants still have this bit of insight, and they don't dare to get wet with Mr. Lin." Lin Zhixiao's family hurriedly said, and Daiyu nodded in reassurance.

In the mist, Lin Mo, in blue and indigo robe, walked in unhurriedly, holding an umbrella.

The three women of the Lin family seemed to gain strength suddenly, and even Jing Xian almost invisibly turned sideways, putting on a gesture of greeting.

Jia Mu hurriedly ordered Yuanyang: "What are you doing standing there? Carefully, Uncle Lin wet his shoes, and you haven't brought Baoyu's unworn shoes!" Then she said to Lin Zhixiao's family: "I don't know where to find A sedan chair to carry him over here!"

Yuanyang hurriedly pulled away to find the attacker.
