[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

"Let's put it aside for now, and wait until I find a suitable time to ask Yu'er what he dreamed about."

Shen Jiao curled her lips and said indifferently: "You are the head of the family, of course you have the final say."

"However, there is one more thing we should prepare for."

"What's the matter?" Lin Qing looked up at her.

"Yu'er's marriage."

Lin Qing understood, "You don't have to worry about that, my elder brother has already found someone for Yu'er."

Shen Jiao was a little surprised, "Already found it? Why didn't I get any news?"

"Don't say you don't know, I was notified after my elder brother got married."

"Hey!" Shen Jiao was very curious, "Which family is it? Do we know his family?"

Lin Qing nodded slightly, "Of course, it's water-soluble."

This answer was beyond Shenjiao's expectation. After thinking about it, he was still a little uncertain and asked, "Wang Jingjing is water-soluble?"

Lin Qing squinted at Shenjiao, "Do we still know the second water solution in the whole capital?"

Shen Jiao smiled and said: "I'm not happy! Shui Rong is a handsome and handsome gentleman. In terms of appearance, temperament, and demeanor, he matches our Yu'er very well!"

"However." Shen Jiao frowned, "This watery age seems to be about the same as ours, isn't it a bit old?"

Lin Qing was a little amused, "How can you be old? Shui Rong is only five years older than Yu'er, and the age is still a good match."

"Then does Shui Rong know about this?"

This made Lin Qing question. In Lin Ruhai's letter, he only said that His Majesty intended to grant a marriage, but he didn't say whether Shui Rong knew it or not.

After thinking for a while, Lin Qing told Shenjiao with a serious expression: "I don't know either. But you must not reveal the slightest word about this matter, and Yu'er is not allowed to say that! My elder brother only said that His Majesty has the intention of granting a marriage. It has not been finalized yet, if you make a noise all over the city without authorization, it will make His Majesty unhappy, and it will be difficult for this marriage to go through at that time."

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Shenjiao quickly nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I won't say a word until the decree of marriage comes down."

"That's good." Lin Qing breathed out, "It's been a troubled time recently, so it's always right to be cautious."

Speaking of Daiyu's marriage, Lin Qing suddenly thought of Shen Gui who went to the countryside to give the bride price.

"Evergreen hasn't returned to Beijing yet? Counting it, it must have been three months?"

Shen Jiao was reminded by Lin Qing that her elder brother had been away for a long time, and she was so busy with family affairs in recent days that she really didn't take her elder brother into consideration.

"Really!" Shen Jiao frowned, and her tone became anxious, "If you don't remind me, I will almost forget it. It seems that I have to go to my father tomorrow to ask, why haven't I come back yet!"

Lin Qing comforted her, "Don't worry, my father-in-law is more thoughtful than us, and the old man can think of everything we can think of. I will accompany you tomorrow, and I will visit him to thank the old man. If he hadn't invited someone to come, I can't wake up that early."

Shen Jiao warmed his heart, "Look at what you said. He is my own father, and you are his son-in-law. We are all a family. Thank you for talking about it!"

Lin Qing looked at Shen Jiao, who was front-end and Zhuang Huimei, and thought about all the things that had happened recently, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

He stretched out his hand to hold Shenjiao's catkin, looked at her affectionately, and said emotionally: "Although that is the case, I am still grateful to him. The most grateful thing is that he can betroth you to me. You are so virtuous, always for me, For the sake of this family, I am so lucky to be able to marry you."

Shen Jiao couldn't help blushing at Lin Qing's affectionate confession, spat at Lin Qing, and said angrily, "No skin, no face!"

Lin Qing just laughed, the more she looked at her, the more she felt that the wife in front of her was soft and lovely, and she couldn't get enough of it.

……

At the end of the year, Xia Xu officially issued a decree to marry Daiyu and Shui Rong.

Once the marriage decree was sent out, it quickly spread among the noble circles in Kyoto. The noble ladies envied Daiyu's good life, and she was about to become a princess.Although it was expected that Daiyu's marriage would not be too bad, she was unavoidably a little surprised when she learned that the other party was Queen Jing. That family is gone.Those who thought deeply admired the Lin family's skillful move!

You know, Shui Rong is not an ordinary prince. Although he is a member of the royal family, he was adopted early and is no longer among the candidates for the throne. In other words, as long as Emperor Gaozu has other blood, he will not be able to turn inherit!

Now is the critical stage of seizing the heir, although Shui Rong is standing in the team, but in fact, even if King Yu came to power in the end, as long as Shui Rong does not do too much and too obvious at this stage, King Yu will not do anything to this little uncle Yes, after all, the opponent can never be a threat to his rule.

The worst case scenario is to be a king of idleness, who spends his whole life idle and careless about political affairs, and can definitely keep his glory and wealth. If the newly appointed monarch wants to gain a good reputation, regardless of his past suspicions, he may be able to reuse him if he treats Su Rong well.

So, Daiyu's marriage to Shui Rong as the concubine can be regarded as leaving a way out for the Lin family. Even if the fifth prince loses in the future, because of his in-law relationship with Shui Rong, he can at least save his life and prevent his family from being wiped out.

Can Xia Xu think of these?

Of course I can think of it!

But he still gave Daiyu and Shui Rong a marriage. Maybe he had other considerations, such as wanting Xia Zhen's allies to be closer, but how do you say it?A gentleman doesn't care about his deeds.Regardless of Xia Xu's specific thoughts, but what he did was for the Lin family's consideration. In this era of 'the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die', this step, really, can only be said to Xia Xu He is a real kind person and a good boss.

Jia Fu.

The news of Daiyu's marriage was kept from Jia Baoyu all the time, for fear that he would make trouble, but the paper could not contain the fire after all, and within a few days, Jia Baoyu still found out.

Can he endure this?

Immediately, he lay on the ground behaving foolishly, crying, mad, talking nonsense, and couldn't get up no matter how much he pulled. Even if he was frightened and said, "I want to call the master", he was not afraid at all, just lay on the ground and couldn't get up.The big guy was also afraid of hurting him, so he didn't dare to use his strength, so he couldn't do anything about it.

Now it's winter, Jia Baoyu was spoiled and raised, how can he withstand the cold air on the ground?So it didn't take long to lie down and developed a high fever. In my dream, I still called "Sister Lin" and talked nonsense.

The attackers originally thought that Jia Baoyu was just going crazy this time, but they didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, so they didn't dare to hide it anymore, so they hurriedly asked Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to quietly inform.

As soon as Jia's mother got the news, she came tremblingly, shouting, "Hey, my heart" along the way. Mrs. Wang arrived earlier than Jia's mother, and she was sitting on the bed wiping tears, while Wang Xifeng said softly. comfort.

Since the two bosses of Jia's mansion had come, the others wept and sighed around Jia Baoyu's bed no matter whether they were free or not. Except for Xue Baochai, who needed to avoid suspicion, all the respectable people came.

This "grand" scene naturally attracted Jia Zheng's attention, but everyone tacitly kept it from him, only saying that Jia Baoyu was sick, not why he got sick, even so, Jia Zheng also looked cold For a long time, he scolded: "He was raised by gold and jade since he was a child, and he is used to not knowing his name! He used his body for nothing, but he didn't know that 'the body and skin are affected by his parents'? It can be seen that the book has read the dog's stomach Here, it is really an unfaithful and unfilial thing!"

Tsk..., this scolding is too harsh, at least he is his own son, and he even scolded the words 'unfaithful and unfilial', which shows that he is extremely disappointed in Jia Baoyu.

As soon as Mother Jia arrived, Mrs. Wang hurriedly gave up the nearest seat, and with Wang Xifeng's support, she stood aside and silently wiped her tears.

While Jiamu was crying "my son" and "heart, heart and flesh", she still didn't forget to ask the people below why her baby grandson was so seriously ill!

Xiren didn't dare to hide it, so he was busy talking about it.

In fact, Jia's mother vaguely guessed that it was Daiyu's reason, but she had no choice but to drag her old body and try her best to coax her good grandson.

After a while, the medicine was ready.

Qingwen carefully held the medicine, ready to serve Baoyu to drink it herself, but Baoyu, who was in a daze from burning, stretched out her hand and grabbed Qingwen's bright wrist.

Qingwen didn't guard against his coming, and when she was frightened, she shook her hand and directly spilled the hot medicinal soup in the bowl on Baoyu's body.

Jia Baoyu was only wearing a thin layer of pajamas, and this sprinkling immediately scalded Jia Baoyu out of blisters.

Mother Jia's heart was in pain, so she hurriedly punched Qingwen several times, and scolded her angrily: "You little bastard! If you don't do things wholeheartedly, Bao Yu'er will be tortured by you!"

Qingwen knew she was wrong, and she didn't dare to argue, she just lowered her head and wept quietly.

Jia's mother was about to ask someone to take Qingwen down to beat the board, but Jia Baoyu didn't feel any pain, and hugged Qingwen's arm and called out: "Sister Lin, are you here? I caught you, you I can't leave now, I can only stay here from now on, I can't leave anymore..."

Everyone was surprised at first, and then looked Qingwen up and down calmly, and found that she really looked a little like Daiyu, even more like the original Lingguan, and they couldn't blame Baoyu for recognizing her as Daiyu.

Seeing that Baoyu had finally spoken, Jia Mu and the others did not dare to provoke him easily, and hurriedly cooperated and comforted him: "My sister is here, you need to take medicine to get better..."

A few days before New Year's Eve, Shen Gui finally returned to Beijing, bringing back more than a dozen young and strong boys.

When Lin Qing inquired, it turned out that these were fellow villagers brought by Shen Gui from his hometown. The oldest was in his twenties, and the youngest was only in his teens. They all came to Beijing to participate in next year's military election.

Lin Qing made a rough calculation of the number of people around who were going to take the exam, and found that there were quite a few.

It's just, why did they all go together?

Shui Rong sent some gifts over, and the Lin family also sent some gifts over.From now on, everyone is a family, and there must be some courtesy and reciprocity.

Shen Jiao also began to formally teach Daiyu some housekeeping skills. Daiyu is very smart and knows a lot of things, so it is quite easy for Shen Jiao to teach.
