A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

Seeing this stranger, the three sisters of the Lin family looked at each other, and Lin Daiyu asked aloud, "Who is this sister?"

"This is sister Xiluan, the younger sister of Lian's second sister-in-law. She happened to be a guest in Jia's mansion. She is also a person who loves chrysanthemums. She suddenly knew that we were coming, so she came to enjoy chrysanthemums together."

Yingchun was speechless, and the answer was Tanchun.

Wang Xiluan smiled a little embarrassedly, "Sister Lin, Sister Lin, I took the liberty to disturb you. I also heard from Tanchun sisters that the sisters of the Lin family are very kind people, and Chrysanthemum is famous for being outstanding. , I can’t restrain my love, it’s really bothering me.”

She presented the gift in a serious manner, and apologized again. As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand to hit a smiling face. She apologized like this, and the Lin family sisters couldn't hold on to this point and say something else.

Although... what she said just now seems to mean that if they care about it, they will not be kind.

Originally, there was nothing shameful about them here, as for other things, there will be a long time to come, let's see what her purpose is.

The sisters of the Zhou family have some guesses. Generally speaking, people who come to the door rashly like this have a certain purpose. They have seen people who come to the door specially for the brothers of that family. It's just the current situation of the Lin family, no matter who they are Already gone out.

So it's just to enjoy the chrysanthemums?

It is not impossible to say that this possibility is not completely impossible, after all, the Wang family and the Jia family are related by marriage, not the Lin family.

When the Lin family had a banquet before, they didn't post a post to the Wang family.

If the Wang family didn't say hello in advance, they really wouldn't be invited over.

If it's just relatives, if you want to come to admire the chrysanthemums, you will naturally post a message to them. Could it be that the relationship between the Wang family and the Lin family is already bad?

The activities arranged by the three sisters of the Lin family today were to appreciate chrysanthemums, and then they would write poems or draw pictures, or do needlework together.

They are all related to chrysanthemum.

Now that there is one more person, the plan remains the same. No matter what the purpose of Wang Xiluan's visit is, what he has shown so far is not a person who cannot communicate and is unreasonable.

Wang Xiluan's visit this time was also on a whim.

She wanted to meet the sisters of the Lin family. If there were no accidents, they would participate in the draft together. She was a little unconvinced when she heard her cousin's praise for the two.

I am her younger sister, and I have never seen her boasting about herself.

Today came, and after meeting, the sisters of the Lin family surprised Wang Xiluan.

The elder sister is much shorter than the younger sister, and their appearance is not yet stunning.

The scent is really good, but that's about it.

It is Daiyu who is the youngest. When she grows up, she may become a famous beauty, but she is too young. When she grows up, she should even have a child.

They will not be competitors.

There is another purpose, Wang Xiluan also came here to see what kind of family the Lin family is like. She secretly overheard the conversation between her mother and father, and knew that her father had thought of marrying her to the young master of the Lin family.

It is said that although he is a child of a concubine, he is no different from that of a concubine, and the most important thing is that he is an only child, not a son of a concubine, but a son of a concubine.

Wang Xiluan knew that his father had not given up on this idea.

If she hadn't been selected, the young master of the Lin family might be her betrothal partner, which made her curious inevitably.

What kind of family is the Lin family?

Looking at it today, it is not as rich as the Wang family, and I don't know what my father likes about the Lin family.

Yun Shuyao didn't always join in the fun when the three sisters invited the younger sisters to their home for a feast. When the three sisters invited the Jia family sisters over for the first time, Yun Shuyao did take a special look at Sanchun.

She didn't know who the twelve gold hairpins in the Dream of the Red Chamber were, but Sanchun must be one of them.

It's just that they are too young now, and they can see a little personality tendency, but others can't see it, so she quickly lost interest. When she heard that there was an extra guest today, she thought it was Shi Xiangyun.

It turned out not to be Wang Xiluan, Wang Xifeng's cousin.

Daughter of Wang Ziteng.

She knows Wang Ziteng, the head of the Wang family.

But she didn't have any impression of the name Wang Xiluan, so she came here to take a look in the name of giving them snacks.

It should be a little younger than Yingyu and Luoyu, with a delicate face and temperament similar to Wang Xifeng.

But not as obvious as Wang Xifeng.

As for her sizing up the two sisters... Is that why she came here?

Yun Shuyao took a closer look. Sister Yingyu and Luoyu are going to make an appearance. The old lady has made some preparations, so although she has met many people, the reputation of the two of them has not spread far and wide. , because it was specially shaped.

Hairstyle, make-up, and make-up.

In this way, the already outstanding face can be slightly inferior.

The original nine-ten-ten beauty turned into seven-eight percent after some skillful hands, which is not much different from other women's six-to-seven percent beauty that has been transformed into seven-to-eight percent after makeup.

Yun Shuyao shook her head lightly.

This Wang Xiluan must be a favorite at home, and he doesn't cover himself well.

It was okay when facing the sisters of the Lin family. Although the two of them were concubines, the old ladies were brought up according to the descendants.

The two sisters of the Zhou family are also legitimate descendants, but the two sisters of the Wu family are not.

The two of them were concubines, and they were typically raised by their aunts.

Why is someone who was raised by his aunt being picky? One is tolerance, the other is vision and ability.

For example, it was also the first time they met, the sisters of the Zhou family met Wang Xiluan, they were generous and poised, but the sisters of the Wu family couldn't let go after meeting Wang Xiluan, and became more taciturn than usual.

The reason why they are like this is not how domineering Wang Xiluan is, but her attire.

Her attire is quite the style that Aunt Mei likes, and the things on her head and body are not ordinary at first glance, and they are expensive, and they may not be able to buy with money.

As for the two accompanying students, Lin Xiao and Lin Zheng, their fathers were both scholars and not officials. Apart from smiling politely, Wang Xiluan never took the initiative to speak to them again.

Tanchun secretly apologized to Lin Daiyu.

Originally, according to her age, Yingchun should be the one to come forward, but Tanchun understood her temperament, she couldn't say it out loud, so she was the one to come forward.

Daiyu shook her head, expressing that she didn't mind.

She knew that the sisters were not in charge, so naturally she wouldn't blame them.

When Tanchun heard her understanding, her eyes felt hot, she blinked her eyes firmly, and took back the heat.

In fact, when Baoyu went out today, he also clamored to come with him. He said several times at home that Daiyu's sister always forgot about him and didn't invite him to come.

I dare not say it myself.

There is a difference between men and women, Baoyu is seven years old, it is time to pay attention to men and women, and this is a party between girls, so naturally he will not invite a man.

It's just that Baoyu is used to private affairs in the inner house, he doesn't have this concept, where can he go to Jia's mansion?

He has never been taboo against men and women.

But the outside is not at Jia's house, so he won't accommodate him.

If the Lin family wanted to invite him over, it could only be cousin Chenyu who invited him, and they would not let him into the inner house.

Fortunately, today the master assigned homework and he didn't finish it. Fortunately, Baoyu still has people who are afraid, otherwise he is really afraid that he will make a fuss regardless of his care, and the old ancestor always indulges, then it will really lose face.

However, as long as Jia Baoyu changed his mind, it would be difficult for him to change his mind.

After Jia Zheng gradually relaxed and stopped chasing him every day, Jia Baoyu couldn't wait to sneak out, and when he arrived at the Lin Mansion, he said to the concierge of the Lin Mansion: "I'm here to play with Sister Daiyu, you let me play with you. go in."

concierge:? ? ?

If it weren't for the young man's extraordinary clothes, and the young lady of their family is not very old, it can be seen as children's nonsense, otherwise it would be really easy to make people have bad associations.

After knowing his identity, the concierge temporarily invited him into the flower hall, and then went to report to the old lady.

The old lady didn't see him at all, and she didn't let Daiyu know that Jia Baoyu had been here, so she asked people to "invite" him back. Let Jia Baoyu have so much free time, it seems that it needs to be strengthened.

Jia Baoyu was "sent" back to the Rongguo Mansion in this way, Jia Zheng naturally knew, he felt that his son had completely humiliated him!

His face was flushed red, he picked up the ruler with one hand, and decided aggressively that he must teach him a lesson, and not let him go out like this again to embarrass himself!

Seeing the master like this, the clever servants ran to report the news. The second wife came the fastest. She almost gritted her silver teeth, and it was because of the Lin family. Could it be that the Lin family was the master of her precious jade?

As soon as she saw Baoyu lying on the stool and crying, and the master was holding a ruler aggressively, she rushed over to replace her.

Jia Zheng had no choice but to stop: "Get out of the way, I'm going to teach this scoundrel a lesson!"

"I asked him to study hard, and when he relaxed a little, he sneaked out. Is this how the servants around him serve the young master? Come on, call me!"

The Second Mrs. Wang has no objection to teaching the servants a lesson. She also thinks that it is dangerous for her son to sneak out like this, but she disagrees with teaching him a lesson. So strict, have you forgotten how our Pearl got there? I only gave birth to two of them, sir, you are trying to force our mother and child to death!"

Hearing her mention of Jia Zhu, Li Wan who hurried here hugged Jia Lan's eyes were also red, and tears fell down one by one.

Mother Jia came over in a panic when she received the news. Seeing the miserable situation here, she hit Jia Zheng with her crutches, "I knew you didn't like my old woman, so I'll take it with me some other day." My good grandson returns to Jinling, as you wish!"

How could Jia Zheng bear this?

He threw away the ruler in a hurry, and knelt down, "My son definitely didn't mean that!"

Jia's house was full of noise.

Hearing that Jia Baoyu was beaten, the old lady smiled with satisfaction, and if Jia Baoyu came again, he would be beaten once.

She didn't believe it anymore, he would cut off the bad relationship between them!

It wasn't just the masters of the Jia family who were unhappy about what happened this time, somewhere, Jing Huan was also half-pissed off seeing this scene.

She spent so much effort to get the Lin family to come to Beijing, but in the end the two of them made no progress other than meeting once.

This old lady of the Lin family is really in the way!
