[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

On the way back, Lin Qing couldn't help but ask Shen Jiao just about being in Zhongcui Palace.

Shen Jiao was a little surprised by Lin Qing's sensitivity, but he didn't want to hide it from him. After struggling in his heart, he decided to tell him.

"It's a long story."

"The fate is that the Concubine Concubine Kang and the Empress Empress conceived together. It was originally a double happiness and gratifying congratulations. At first, each other did live in peace. Who would have thought that later..."

Shen Jiao paused, "Later, Concubine Kang gave birth to a full-term baby girl, but it was stillborn."

"How could it be a stillbirth? Didn't the Tai Hospital find anything unusual during pregnancy?"

The Tai Hospital was an ancient symbol of the country's highest level of medical care, why couldn't it be found?

Or is someone deliberately covering up?

Shen Jiao shook his head, "I was just born at that time, and my aunt hadn't entered the palace yet, so I don't know much about the specific situation. I only know that Concubine Kang has gradually lost her mind since the death of the little princess. She has been holding the little princess' body and refuses to let go. It was the dog days at that time, so how can we wait? Others were afraid of hurting the mother and did not dare to grab it. Seeing a dilemma, the Holy Majesty called my aunt into the palace."

"My aunt stayed with Empress Dowager Wenhuan for a while before she left the cabinet, and she had some friendship with Concubine Kang. After receiving the order from the Holy Majesty, she not only entered the palace by herself, but also brought me with her. After arriving at Zhongcui Palace, my aunt First of all, I will persuade Concubine Concubine Kang with kind words, wait for her to relax her vigilance, and then take advantage of her not paying attention, snatch the little princess from her arms, and then stuff me into her arms."

"No..." Lin Qing interrupted her and asked her own question, "Weren't you just born then? How can you remember the details so clearly? It couldn't be that the concubine Xian told you herself?"

Even thinking about it, it's impossible, how could Concubine Xian tell her niece the pain of the previous generation in such a detailed way, isn't this obviously exposing scars.

Shen Jiao choked for a moment, "Uh..."

He coughed a few times to cover up, "When I was a child in the palace, I heard some old palace people mention this."

Lin Qing laughed secretly that his newly married wife was gossiping like him, but in order not to embarrass her, his expression remained the same, "So, Concubine Kang regards you as her daughter who died young?"

"You can say that." Shen Jiao nodded.

Then he added: "Otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain why she was so kind to me."

After the conversation was over, the carriage returned to silence. Fortunately, I got home too, so I didn't have to fall into the embarrassing scene of staring.

Lin Mansion, Lin Ruhai's study.

"Knock down..."

"Enter."

Lin Qing pushed the door open and entered.

"Big brother."

Lin Qing randomly found a seat and sat down.

"Here we come." Lin Ruhai raised his head from the desk full of official documents, his eyes were bloodshot.

Lin Qing was a little helpless, "Brother, it's hard to go home, don't be too tired, or your body won't be able to bear it."

"I have a sense of proportion." Lin Ruhai put down the official document in his hand.

"I called you here because I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Lin Qing took a sip of the warm tea from the cup beside her.

"Now that you have become a family, I will return to Jiangnan in the near future. It is not a long-term plan for Yu'er to stay in the palace for a long time. Originally, Yu'er was sent to the palace because there were no female elders in the family, and now it is time to bring her back. "

Lin Qing put down the teacup, pondered for a while, and said: "Brother doesn't mention this matter, I am going to do it, I will talk to Mrs. Shen in a few days and let her go to the palace to find the concubine Xian."

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly.

Immediately, while giving instructions on official documents, he chatted with Lin Qing, "What gifts did you receive when you came back this time?"

"Concubine Xian and Concubine Kang rewarded a lot of things, but I didn't say much. My father-in-law gave me the book of Master Wang - the best running script in the world."

"Huh?" Lin Ruhai heard the words and looked up at Lin Qing who was sitting, "Master Wang's?"

Lin Qing gave a "hmm", picked up a piece of pastry from the dessert plate in his hand and put it into his mouth, wondering: "Isn't my father-in-law a military general? How could he treat literati calligraphy as a return gift?"

Lin Qing had heard about the great name of that general from the storytellers before, and even on the way to the Shen Mansion, he still wondered viciously whether this "God of War" father-in-law would be like Tong Xiangyu in "Wulin Biography". Like mother, why don't you prepare all kinds of rare weapons for him as a return gift?

Thinking about it, he even regretted that he didn't send a carriage to follow, after all, it would be possible if it was too heavy to pull back.

However, it turned out that he was overthinking.

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Although General Shen came from a reckless background, he is extremely eager to learn. He won the champion of martial arts before he was 20 years old. After that, he never put down his papers. He often visited famous scholars and scholars. In terms of knowledge, ordinary Jinshi can't compare with him."

"So that's how it is..." Lin Qing suddenly realized, "It's strange that General Shen has such strict requirements on Shen Gui, and the reason is that he himself is a dragon and phoenix in himself."

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and sighed: "This is the importance of family tradition. Historians and Jia's family were also conferred titles based on their military exploits. It's fine if you can't succeed, you can't do it, after all, capable people can't come from a family. The most hateful thing is that the children in the clan are ignorant, incompetent, and full of five poisons. People's faces are all lost!"

How long has he been in Beijing?I just heard about the stone nerd, so I know that I usually do things like bullying, why is it such a coincidence?

"Alas—" Lin Ruhai sighed, "If this continues, the good times will not last long."

Lin Qing didn't take it seriously, "Brother, let's just live our own lives, why bother with other people's lives?"

Lin Ruhai said earnestly, "That being said, there is always a relationship between our family and Jia's family. After all, it is Yu'er's maternal grandfather's family, and the old lady is still alive. How can we really separate the relationship?"

"However." Lin Ruhai paused, "Qing'er, you must always remember the lessons of the Jia family. Sooner or later, the Lin family will be handed over to you. Whether a family can be passed on depends on family tradition. The family is two good examples, when you become a family in the future, you should learn more from your Yue family and at the same time use the Jia family as a warning, understand?"

Lin Qing nodded, "Understood, brother."

After Lin Qing came back from Lin Ruhai's place, he found an appropriate time to mention to Shen Jiao that he wanted to bring Daiyu back.

Shen Jiao readily agreed, and entered the palace early the next morning.

After all, she has a good personal relationship with Daiyu, so she can have someone to talk to at home if she brings Daiyu back.Moreover, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she knows that the palace is a place of right and wrong. Daiyu is alone in the deep palace. Although she is safe and sound now, who can guarantee that it will be like this in the future?

So take it back and rest assured.

Lin Qing didn't know that Shenjiao and Daiyu had a friendship. Seeing her so happy, she felt that she was reasonable and easy to talk.

On the day Shenjiao went to the palace, Shen Gui invited Lin Qing to Helelou again.

Lin Qing was still waiting for Shen Jiao's news. At first, he didn't want to accept the invitation, but after hearing Shen Gui's talk about Shui Rong, he thought he hadn't seen him for a while, so he decided to go anyway.

Hele Building.

Lin Qing came to the box with the people leading him, opened the door, and saw Shen Gui sitting with a young man.

"This is—Shui Rong?" Lin Qing pointed at Shui Rong and asked Shen Gui hesitantly.

Shen Gui pulled Lin Qing over and sat down, "Yes! Or who do you think it is?"

The sixteen or seventeen year olds are just growing their bodies, Shui Rong was as tall as Lin Qing before, but now he is half a head taller than him.Although her figure is as thin as ever, she is much stronger, her facial lines are gradually tougher, and she no longer has the baby fat of before, her eyes are still invisible, and she has a calmness and maturity far beyond this age group.

But in the end, at that age, the vigor and vigor that belonged to young people was vividly displayed in him.

It's nice to be young...

Lin Qing looked at the changed Shui Rong and sighed.

I think he was at the same age when he came from Fangzhou to Gusu, and he was also in such high spirits.

Shui Rong didn't think as much as Lin Qing did. When he saw Lin Qing, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands to say congratulations: "Congratulations to Brother Ruqing on his newlywed Yan Er, and his title on the gold list!"

Lin Qing also smiled back, "Thank you very much."

After a few pleasantries, Lin Qing asked Shui Rong where he had been these few days, and why he didn't even come to his wedding banquet.

Shui Rong poured a glass of sake, "Recently, the Holy Majesty was serving Concubine Zhen's illness, and the ordinary government affairs were handed over to the fifth prince. The fifth prince was weak, so I acted as a helper. I didn't come to the banquet because of the urgency of time. After that, he turned to look at Lin Qing: "Brother Ruqing won't blame me, will he?"

After hearing this, Lin Qing waved her hands again and again, "Where! The state affairs are important, how can I miss a major event because of me."

Afterwards, there was another exchange of toasts, and when it was getting late, Shen Gui urged Lin Qing to go back.

Shui Rong laughed at Lin Qing because of this, and his best friend became an uncle, and he might not be able to be free in the future.

Lin House.

After Lin Qing came back, he waited for a long time. Shen Jiao hadn't come back from the palace yet, and it seemed that he was about to miss dinner time. I used it with Lin Ruhai first, but Shen Jiao finally came back from the palace.

Because the Lin family always believed in the rule of "Don't talk when eating, don't talk when sleeping", so the two had a tacit understanding and didn't talk about it at the dinner table.

After dinner, when the two returned to the wing, Lin Qing asked her why she came back so late.

"I'll tell you something, I'll keep you in shock!" Shen Jiao said to Lin Qing mysteriously.

"what's up?"

"It's related to the eldest daughter of the Jia family." Afraid that Lin Qing wouldn't be able to react, he reminded him specifically: "It's the old man's Yue family."
