Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

During times of war and chaos, human life is cheap, and the people in the capital usually rely on living at the foot of the emperor. When they see foreigners on the road, their eyes go up to the sky, and their waists are straight. At this moment, they wish they were not from the capital. It is better to go to the south, so as not to suffer from the rebellion now.

Especially those families who were too late to hide and were killed by the rebels, they hated Tu Youming's Hepatitis B rebels to the core, and the whole family hugged each other, praying that the rebellion would be suppressed as soon as possible, so that everyone in the family would be able to suppress the rebellion. Come on everyone, let those rebels die badly, and avenge their dead relatives and friends!

Since the founding of the country by the Taizu, so far for four generations, the world has returned to its heart, and the peace has passed for a long time. The people in the capital have long forgotten the chaos in the last years of the previous dynasty and are used to a peaceful life. This rebellion by Tu Youming only made the people remember In today's peaceful days when I was in office, I only hated Tu Youming and Prince Yizhong's mansion to the bone!

After passing the general exam last year, how many scholars from other places stayed in the capital to wait for the appointment of officials, and now they are all trapped in this den of rebellion.Those soldiers who were left behind to look at the capital were no better than the elites who rushed into the palace with Tu Youming. They were the illiterate and uninformed rough men from the bottom. Zhu Zhumen High Courtyard, as if the house was full of gold, silver and jewels, a large group of people rushed in and sifted up and down. Poor these foreign students, most of them lived in this post house because they had no money to rent a house elsewhere. At this moment, the soldiers at the bottom level lifted their bags, threw away paper and pens, robbed them of money, and resisted in grief and indignation, and those whose lives were cut off with a knife, their teeth were about to be crushed, and their eyes were filled with blood Shengsheng endured this tone, and only told himself that he would not worry about having no firewood to keep the green hills, but in his heart, he always classified Tu Youming into the ranks of rebellious officials and thieves.

Even those high-ranking and wealthy families were no more oppressed than these powerless scholars, but the soldiers outside were in chaos, and people were panicking. It was inevitable that those who were not open-eyed entered the house to fish in troubled waters. This is still a trivial matter. To catch up with those The rebel army rushed into the house with an excuse, and it was good to rob, and started killing, but it was difficult for the whole family to save their lives.

The wealthy merchants in the capital were the first to be unlucky. Those domestic guards bullied ordinary people, but they were no match for the soldiers and scoundrels in the military camp. The rebellion started a day later, and many houses were looted, and the smell of blood wafted into the air. , mixed with the burnt smell of the house's corpses, it smells disgusting.

When Mrs. Lin heard that Tu Youming led the rebellion, she was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall. She was accompanied by her concubine Han Shi who had just let Lin Ruhai in. She didn't like Jia Min, so she praised Han Shi A few minutes later, when Jia Min came to greet her, she only said that she was not feeling well, but left Han Shi to read scriptures to her.Hearing Mother Ji talking about Jia Min's pale face and frail body when she heard this, she just snorted coldly, closed her eyes and rubbed the Buddhist bead bracelet on her hand while listening to Han's scripture reading.

When Mrs. Han saw that Mrs. Lin did not give Jia Min a good face, her expression remained unchanged, but her voice of reading the scriptures couldn't help but became clearer.Unexpectedly, after a while of peace, Lin Fang crawled into Lin Fang's house outside the door, and shouted in panic: "Outside, Prince Yizhong's son rebelled!" The string fell to the ground.

Catching up with the rebellion is no small matter. Lin Laofan was so anxious that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly asked Lin Fang's family: "Where did this news come from? Can it be done accurately?"

Lin Fang's family was so frightened that they swayed and cried, "It's true, old lady, it's already chaotic outside. It's okay that our street is all government houses. Many of the rich and wealthy families living in the next street are gone. When I was killed, my family went out with the big housekeeper to investigate, the streets were full of flames, those rebels were devoid of humanity, they burned, killed and looted, and their ears were filled with the sound of wailing and crying."

The Han family came from a small family, and when they heard the fight, they cried and said, "He killed him in the next street? Isn't that very close to our house? Old madam, how can this be good?!"

Mrs. Lin has more knowledge. When she was young, she heard the elders in her family talk about the difficulties during the war. After a long time, most of them can't remember it. She still knows that she can't panic now. Lin Ruhai now If she is not here, she is the leader of the Lin family. If she is in chaos, the whole Lin family will also be in chaos.After pinching her own arm severely, the old lady Lin gathered herself together and ordered Lin Fang's family to go clean and invite Jia Min.Mrs. Han was at the side with a hesitant expression on her face, Mrs. Lin just pretended she didn't see it.

Mrs. Lin may not like Jia Min, but in general, she is not confused.Jia Min's father, Jia Daishan, was the Duke of Rongguo, and he inherited the Duke of Rongguo's mansion without degrading his title because of his military exploits on the battlefield, not to mention his prestige in the army. No one dares to underestimate the powerful.Tu Youming's rebellion was nothing more than for the position of the ninety-five, as long as he was not confused, he would never openly break his face with the four kings and eight princes.My family has been the emperor's Zhongshusheren since Lin Ruhai, so it can be said that I have relied on the emperor's faction. Tu Youming's subordinates will never have a good impression of the Lin family, and maybe some of his subordinates will take advantage of this chaotic time to rush into the mansion inside.Now that the mansion is full, only Jia Min can show the identity of the only eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion to shock those chaotic parties... Anyway, it also makes them feel scruples and dare not take it lightly...

As for really not being able to stop... Mrs. Lin smiled wryly, but she had a solemn expression on her face, and drank Lin Fang's family's drink calmly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you go soon?! When is this, how can I, a weak old woman What are you doing? Madam comes from a family, I can trust her!"

Lin Fang's family saw that Mrs. Lin was so orderly and full of confidence, and the panic in her heart calmed down a little, and she hurriedly agreed to go out.If you think about it, it's chaotic right now, and the old lady is not in good health, so why not let Mrs. Han be the housekeeper?An aunt~ curled her lips and ran to Jia Min's yard in a hurry.

Han waited for Lin Fang's family, looked at Mrs. Lin with tears in her eyes, and choked up with sobs: "Old lady..." It looked really wronged.

Mrs. Lin cast a cold look over and said coldly, "Aunt Han, don't forget your identity!"

Han shuddered, her eyes widened in disbelief, she couldn't believe it, the person in front of her who reminded her of her concubine status with a disgusted face, would be Mrs. Lin who loved her the most on weekdays! "Old madam..." She murmured, but Han didn't know what she wanted to say.

And Mrs. Lin didn't give her this chance, she glanced at her impatiently: "Okay, you have nothing to do here, go back to your own room."

How could Mrs. Han be willing? She still remembered what Lin Fang's family said just now. The outside world is in turmoil. At this moment, it is naturally the safest to follow Mrs. Lin's side.But now Mrs. Lin is full of displeasure, and she is impatient to deal with her at all. Han is angry, but she also knows that she can gain a foothold in Lin's residence, and dare to share equal shares with Jia Min, thanks to Mrs. Lin's backing, How dare you go against Mrs. Lin.After thinking about it, he was out of the house.But he kept his mind open, instead of going back to his own courtyard, he took the girl and sat in the ear room of Mrs. Lin's courtyard, and sent the little girl to keep an eye on Mrs. Lin's movements.

Nanny Ji whispered to Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin waved her hand, and said irritably, "Sure enough, it's from a small family. This knife is going to hang around your neck, and you're still thinking about these things of jealousy."

Mother Ji is the most loyal old Mrs. Lin. Seeing her displeased, she said: "Aunt Han is less knowledgeable, but fortunately she has a small mind and a shallow mind. Such a person should be placed by the young master's side, so it will be worry-free."

Only then did Mrs. Lin calm down her anger a little, and sighed: "Although that's the case, I can't get on the stage... Now the situation in front of me is indispensable, and I have to count on Mrs. Jia." During this time, Mrs. Lin treated Jia Min very You're welcome, but now you have to rely on the forces behind Jia Min to protect the Lin family. When Mrs. Lin thinks that she is going to soften Jia Min's body, she can't swallow the suffocation in her chest.Could it be that she is required to be a mother-in-law and be a little girl for her daughter-in-law? !

Mother Ji could roughly guess what Mrs. Lin was thinking, so she said with a smile: "Madam has entered our Lin family, but she is a member of the Lin family, so it is right for the Lin family to think about it. Now that we are facing a catastrophe, is it possible that Madam can stay out of it?" Madam is not someone who doesn't understand the general situation, she must know the seriousness."

Mrs. Lin snorted: "She knows the seriousness..." If she knew the seriousness, she wouldn't make trouble like that with her natal brothers, and pity her golden grandson who died before she was born...

I don't know how Ruhai is doing now...

When Jia Min led Nanny Li and a few girls to Mrs. Lin's courtyard, she saw Shui Lan, the little girl next to Mrs. Han, looking around furtively. When she met her gaze, her face turned pale with fright. , Plop knelt down.A sneer twitched at the corner of Jia Min's mouth, and he stopped his feet, staring at Shui Lan with almost burning eyes, wishing that Ma Shan would ask someone to drag her out and sell her far away.

Han's!When she thought of this name, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and hated the people around her even more.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Nanny Li quickly tugged on her sleeves, and said in a low voice: "Madam, the overall situation is the most important thing, the old lady is still waiting."

Jia Min withdrew his gaze unwillingly, exhaled heavily, remembering what he had discussed with Nanny Li earlier, turned around and slashed Shui Lan with an eye knife, and then started walking again, the girl beside him hurriedly opened the curtain and shouted : "Old Madam, Madam is here."

As soon as he entered the room, Jia Min didn't say anything else, just took a step forward, knelt down in front of Mrs. Lin, and wept, "Daughter-in-law was ignorant and made a big mistake. Mother still misses her daughter-in-law now, and she is willing to give her daughter-in-law a gift." Opportunity, to deal with the difficulties together with the family, in the heart of the daughter-in-law, it is really..." Biting her lips, she didn't say anything, she just knocked her head heavily on the ground with a muffled sound.

Mrs. Lin's heart fell to the ground in an instant. Seeing Jia Min's behavior again, she was a little surprised and said straightly: "You silly boy, what are you doing..." winked.

Nanny Ji hurried forward to help Jia Min: "Ma'am, what are you doing? You are the old lady's daughter-in-law and the young master's wife. They are all a family. Although the old lady doesn't say it, she understands it in her heart. Yes You, the old lady really treats her as her own daughter. What kind of overnight feud can there be between mother and daughter? When something happens, can you leave the lady alone? Don’t be like this soon. How can I make the old lady feel better?"

Jia Min half pushed and got up on the spot, wiped her tears and said: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law didn't mean that. Daughter-in-law was ignorant before, but she made a big mistake. I'm afraid that mother will annoy me. Now mother is still willing to give me a chance. I, I..." choked up words.

Mother Ji's complexion improved a bit, and she said with a straight smile: "Ma'am, you are worrying too much. If the family has any troubles, the old lady is just annoyed for a while, so she can really argue with you."

Jia Min took a careful look at Mrs. Lin, she really had a smile on her face, looked at her tenderly, immediately smiled through tears, and called out full of shame and embarrassment: "Mother..." His eyes were even more frowning. She shed tears.

Mrs. Lin sighed and waved to her. Jia Min threw herself into her arms with tears in her eyes, crying unceasingly. Mrs. Lin patted her on the back and scolded with a smile: "You silly child... "

Mother Ji and Mother Li looked at them with red eyes, tears streaming down her face, she was both delighted and moved, and said: "Old lady and madam, they are really like mother and daughter. Where else can I find someone like Mrs. old lady?" Ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Embarrassed, Jia Min straightened up from Mrs. Lin's arms, wiped away tears, broke through her tears and said with a smile: "No, it is a blessing for a daughter-in-law to have a mother-in-law like my mother." Fu said solemnly, "In the past, my daughter-in-law already knew that she was wrong, and she will be more careful in the future, so she won't dare again."

Mrs. Lin took a deep look at her, took her hand, and said earnestly: "My old lady, how much time do I have left? What I am looking forward to in my heart is not that you and Ruhai can live well? First of all, you are too. Seeing someone like the sea, how haggard and emaciated... that's all, the matter is over, as long as you take care of yourself in the future, even if my old lady dies, she will rest in peace."

With tears in her eyes, Jia Min said, "What are you talking about, mother? You will live a long life."

Mrs. Lin didn't speak, she just smiled and looked at Jia Min gently.The smile on Jia Min's face became more and more joyful, and after a pause, he frowned slightly, and talked about the outside world: "The daughter-in-law has just heard about the rebellion of Prince Yizhong's son, and immediately asked someone to go to the father I received the letter, and the rebellion hasn’t reached our side yet, so there should be no problem, after receiving the letter, my father will naturally send someone to our house, and mother, don’t worry, nothing will happen.” I told Mrs. Lin again My own arrangement, "There are not many guards in our house, and some of them are newly recruited. I am afraid that they have no experience in fighting against the enemy, but what is the value of my dowry? When I was young, I was a long-term follower of my father. After crossing the battlefield, mother sees, is it possible to let him go to the escort team and help?!"

Mrs. Lin naturally did not disagree: "Such talents should be reused. You can just watch this matter."

Jia Min also asked the guards to gather in several main courtyards, and how to keep the things in the storeroom. Mrs. Lin also had no objections.The Lin Mansion is not the ancestral home of the Lin family. Since the death of Old Master Lin, Mrs. Lin brought Lin Ruhai back to the old house in Suzhou, but it was Lin Ruhai who came back before the scientific examination. It was full of plans. It's been three years, although there are some finances, after all, it was bought later, all left by the ancestors are in the old house in Suzhou, even if it is really lost, Mrs. Lin doesn't feel bad.

Mrs. Lin and Jia Min discussed the matters in the mansion. At the end, Jia Min persuaded Mrs. Lin not to worry too much: "How many rebels can the son of Prince Yizhong gather under the eyes of the emperor? I'm afraid the stragglers outside are just Those who are the most incompetent and some street gangsters who want to fish in troubled waters will not make a difference, we already have guards in our house, and there is nothing to worry about when my father receives a letter and sends someone over to help him."

With Jia Min's words, Mrs. Lin's heart hanging in the air was completely relieved, and the smile on her face became more real, and she said softly to Jia Min: "It's hard for you."

Jia Min lowered her head and said modestly: "This is what a wife should do."

Mrs. Lin let go of a big stone in her heart, and while she was relieved, she was a little surprised to see Jia Min's modest demeanor.Taking a closer look at Jia Min's attire, she suddenly realized that she was not dressed as richly and brightly as usual today, but instead was wearing a pink and blue Treasure Flower blouse, a green and dark flowery blue Wufu flower skirt, and her hair was also However, Songsong dug a bun, inserted a sapphire pendant with pearls and tassels, and a thin hairpin made of small opal turquoise. It is dignified and beautiful, and the makeup is just a layer of butterfly powder. , exudes a gentle breath.

Mrs. Lin likes this kind of girl the most. Thinking of Jia Min's performance today, she always lowered her figure and put her first. She really looks like a daughter-in-law.Now is the critical juncture, Mrs. Lin really felt the benefits of having a powerful in-law, thinking that Lin Ruhai has a Yue family from the Rongguo Mansion, and in the future, she will be able to get twice the result with half the effort in the officialdom.After calculating the benefits, Mrs. Lin temporarily put aside the disgust she felt because of Jia Min's miscarriage, and began to care about Jia Min's body in a gentle voice. "Look, I've lost a lot of weight. When this is over, I need to make up for it."

Jia Min said gratefully: "Yes, mother." Looking at Mrs. Lin, seeing the more satisfied expression in her eyes, she lowered her head again.God knows, what kind of willpower she used to not restrain herself from being sarcastic in front of Mrs. Lin.

What, you think of me when you use it?It's been several months, and even when I was seriously ill, I insisted on coming every day to greet you. Don't you disdain to see me, don't you refuse to see me no matter how much I beg?Why did Baba find me now?

Why, are you asking me to come now to drive that bitch Han out?Aren't you very happy to see Xianggong and Mrs. Han kissing and poking my heart?Didn't you praise Han's bitch to your husband for being gentle and virtuous, and Xiaojiabiyu is lovely?Don't you like hearing her read scriptures to you?Then why drive them out now?Why should she avoid me?Didn't you just let this bitch Han take good care of your husband in front of me, and let me avoid these, so as not to get sick.At this moment, shouldn't you let that bitch see 'Amitabha Buddha' for you, and ask God to bless you, an old woman, to survive this catastrophe? !

Hypocrisy, affectation, shameless!If you need me, you can greet me with care, and if you don't need me, just throw me aside like a rag, and let other women come to grab your husband's favor. You old man, why do you abuse me like this? ! !

Obviously my husband has forgiven me, obviously he also pity me for losing my child and can’t afford to be seriously ill, but you have so many things, you still have to take a concubine, and you want a Han family to pierce my eyes every day. How can I treat you badly? Whenever I am not good to you, I always put you first, but why do you have to give Xianggong a woman? Why, why, why! ! ! !

With his head down, Jia Min clenched his teeth tightly, his whole body trembling slightly with anger, the veins on the backs of his hands tucked into his sleeves were exposed, and viciousness slowly filled his hazy eyes.Why don't you die, why don't you die? !

But it doesn't matter, as Nanny Li said, you are already a dying person, and your health is poor, how long can you live.My top priority now is to win back my husband's heart.So I will not argue with you.I will endure!I will endure until everyone knows how virtuous and generous I am, I will endure until everyone knows how filial and easy-going I am. Hold you well and respect you, let you die of old age in peace, have a grand burial, and then, little by little, erase all traces of you in the Lin family. The husband will only remember my kindness, and my children will not remember their grandmother , you are nothing but a ranking!

She will do it, she will!She swears to God on all the humiliation she's been subjected to!
