Official You's Family in the Red Chamber

Chapter 42 The Two Concubines Compete

Jia Min's death caused many things in Jia's family, and it was a big earthquake for Lin's family, especially after the news that Jia Min wanted to name his son-in-law before his death spread to the backyard.

Jia Min said that she wanted to put a boy under her name just to find Daiyu to rely on in the future, so she didn't say who to remember. Of course, she didn't have the strength to say so much at that time, but the problem was that the Lin family had two people. brother's.

As soon as the news spread to the backyard, the two concubines who had given birth to a boy had their own ideas. If Jia Min's name was recorded, it meant that he became the original concubine's son. It is also far ahead of the bastard.

Originally, the good concubine Zhao in the backyard of the Lin family gave birth to the eldest young master Lin Jun, and the humble concubine Wang gave birth to the second young master Lin Zheng. Because Zhao's status was higher than Wang's and Lin Jun was the eldest, Lin Jun's His status has always been higher than that of Lin Zheng.

But if Lin Zheng was recorded under Jia Min's name, then everything would be reversed.How could Mrs. Wang not think about it, Lin Jun has Lin Lexuan, the sister of a compatriot of the same mother, even if he is named as a legitimate son, it is hard to say who he will prefer in the future. From this point of view, Lin Zheng is more suitable than Lin Jun.

Compared with Wang's plans, Zhao and Lin Lexuan were immediately taken aback when they heard the news. Over the past few years, because of Jia Min's serious illness and Lin Lexuan's influence, Zhao's ambitions have also grown faintly. Lin Lexuan knew about it a long time ago. After he was in a situation, he planned to let Lin Ruhai help the Zhao family when Jia Min died, but now that Jia Min made such a brilliant move, the two of them didn't know what to do.

I don't know if misfortunes never come singly, but news came from the Zhao family that the old man of the Zhao family has gone. This man is the biological uncle of the Zhao family, and also the biological father of Mr. Zhao, the highest official of the Zhao family. He has gone , the entire Zhao family must observe filial piety.

Zhao's heart was grieving, but she took this opportunity to take Lin Lexuan back to her mother's house with this reason. In name, she went to the funeral, but she went to find someone to advise her. Zhao's family was upright and not far from the Lin's family, so she returned after half a day. Lin Ruhai heard that it was all right, so he called a housekeeper to accompany the two of them, just to show the meaning of the Lin family. funeral.

Speaking of the old man who passed away, besides being the uncle of Lin Fu's concubine Zhao Shi, he was also the biological father of You Wenjie's wife Zhao Shi.

Mr. Zhao couldn't do it after watching it more than a month ago. The head of the Zhao family wrote to Mrs. Zhao in Beijing after seeing the situation. Mrs. Zhao hurried back to Jiangnan when he got the news, and finally saw his father for the last time .

Lin Lexuan and Mrs. Zhao went to the funeral, and after paying homage to her uncle, she took the opportunity to find her sister-in-law to talk to her mother.

When Zhao's mother heard that the Lin family's mistress had gone, she was very happy that her daughter might be righted. Her own daughter had to become a concubine. Why didn't she feel distressed? She is several heads shorter than others, and the master of the Lin family is a third-rank official, so wouldn't her daughter be a third-rank official?

But when I heard that the original mistress wanted to name her son-in-law, she didn't know what to do, and Xiao Zhao's sister-in-law didn't pay attention. After thinking about it for a long time, the mothers finally went to the big room to ask for advice. See you in the big room There are many things in the world, and I heard that the aunt in Beijing has also returned.

Mrs. You Zhao was talking to her sister-in-law, both of them had red eyes, the family of the eldest son of the Zhao family had a very good relationship, otherwise Mrs. You and Zhao would not try to drag her natal family, so even though she was prepared, she waited until the old father passed away. , I still can't help crying.

When the few people were sad, the servant came to tell the second house aunt to ask to see her. The eldest lady of the Zhao family asked someone to come in. After all, this little Zhao family entered the Lin family, Lin Ruhai was a high-ranking official in this area, and so did the Zhao family. I got some cheap ones, and at any rate they were relatives within the third service, and they were honest and responsible, so although they didn't have much contact with each other, Mrs. Zhao was quite enthusiastic about the second wife.

Mrs. You Zhao also knew about the little Mrs. Zhao of the second room. She was a hard-fated girl. She was a concubine because she had an actress who looked similar to the one she was marrying. It can be regarded as something to rely on.

Several people from the second room of the Zhao family entered the room, greeted each other, and hurriedly told the matter, asking them to give their opinions.

Mrs. You Zhao felt a little unbelievable after hearing this. Erfang has always been honest and responsible all these years. Although her cousin is a little clever in her impression, she doesn't seem to be ambitious, she doesn't seem like someone who thinks about these things, the Lin family She knew a little about the situation, and it was too whimsical for the concubine to help her upright.

Mrs. Zhao was very confused after hearing this, and turned to look at Mrs You Zhao, who frowned and said, "Master Lin was going to straighten you up?"

"No."

"then you?"

"Auntie, although my father didn't say anything, my aunt has an eldest son and a daughter. The Zhao family is also a family of officials. The first wife has gone, and my father is not young. Isn't it suitable to help my aunt?"

"This is?"

"This is the eldest sister, Lexuan."

"Auntie, forgive me, I was in a hurry and I was rude"

Mrs. You Zhao nodded, looked at Lin Lexuan and said, "These words were taught to you by others, or you thought of them yourself."

Mrs. You Zhao has been ordered to sit down for many years because of the majesty. Lin Lexuan looked at Mrs. You Zhao, pursed her lips, "I thought of it myself."

Mrs. You Zhao looked at her again, and was silent for a while before speaking: "You dare to think, and you can analyze the pros and cons, but it's unrealistic. You haven't recognized your own identity from the beginning to the end!"

Lin Lexuan's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she looked at Mrs You Zhao unconvinced.

"Now, the most important thing you should think about is how to get Lin Jun recorded in Mrs. Jia's name."

"why?"

"The Lin family is a scholarly family. From the very beginning, it is not possible for a concubine to help her. Even a good concubine is useless. The original wife left a prostitute, and she has never made a big mistake. If the Lin family does not want to break up with the Jia family, it is impossible. Help the concubine's room, and even if it is right, it is impossible to help your aunt."

"What's wrong with the Jia family? Isn't it just a general's mansion? Why can't I help my aunt?"

"Why can't you straighten your aunt, because of you!"

"What?" Lin Lexuan exclaimed.

"You think about it, your aunt has been righted, and you are the daughter of the first wife. Why didn't you think that the original wife also left the daughter of the first wife. She is the eldest daughter of the original wife of the Lin family. If you become the first daughter, who is the eldest daughter?" female?"

"Why?" Lin Lexuan seemed to be in a daze as if she had been hit.

"The burden on the eldest daughter of a family is extremely heavy, and the same status is much higher than that of all other girls. Even if it is a male heir, no one can compare with it except the eldest son. How can the Jia family tolerate a concubine daughter who is oppressed by her granddaughter?" on the head."

"Is the Jia family that powerful?"

"The Jia's family is a general's mansion, and the Jia's natal family is indeed the Shenwei General's mansion, a first-rank noble family, so you think the Lin family can easily offend?"

"I……"

"I don't know anything else. The current patriarch of the Jia family in Beijing has only been promoted to the second rank, and he still has a super-rank marquis. In recent years, the Jia family has produced four Jinshi and several candidates. The current officials are probably only a dozen. You I feel that the Lin family can be offended. The one who married into the Lin family is extremely famous in Beijing. The daughter of the Duke of the State, Shili Hongzhuang married Tan Hualang. How many years has it been passed down? The Lin family has established itself in Jiangnan these years. , do you know how many relatives and friends the Jia family has in Jiangnan?"

"Second-rank official, marquis, Jinshi, how come?" Lin Lexuan murmured, unable to accept the reality.

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Xiao Zhao felt bitter. Her daughter is smart and beautiful. If she hadn't met her as a mother...

Mrs. Zhao hugged Lin Lexuan in her arms, and she didn't know how to comfort her. Lin Lexuan felt Mrs. Zhao's uneasiness, she hurriedly collected her thoughts, raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Zhao.

He also blessed You Zhao Shi, "I made my aunt laugh, it was my whimsical idea, but now, we..."

Mrs. You Zhao waved her hand to show that she didn't care, "There is nothing wrong with you thinking that way, alas!" Looking at Lin Lexuan and then at Mrs. Zhao, she felt sympathy for her cousin, but, alas, time and fate !

"Where to vote is determined by God, but this road is made by people. The life of a concubine will not necessarily be worse than that of a prostitute in the future. Like the two of my husband's eldest family, they are incomparable to ordinary prostitutes." Ah, the master of the Lin family has already reached the third rank, and you are the eldest daughter, if you can stand up in the future, what will your life be worse than that of a prostitute?"

Watching Lin Lexuan gradually relax, Mrs. You Zhao turned to Mrs. Zhao and said, "The most important thing for you now is to find a way for Brother Jun to be recorded under Jia's name. This fight is not about the superficial concubine, but about But for the right of inheritance, whoever registers his name will be the heir of the Lin family. Even if both of them are registered in Jia's name, the elder brother Jun will still have the advantage."

Several people talked for a while before Xiao Zhao left.

Jia She and his son traveled quickly all the way, and when they arrived at Lin's house, they looked like they were in the dusty world. Lin Ruhai received them personally, they paid homage to Jia Min, and met Daiyu. Before they had a rest, they faced the problem of choosing a nephew.

Lin Ruhai was also dissatisfied with Jia Amnesty, and told the truth directly. In fact, Lin Ruhai wanted to name Lin Jun in his heart. It was not that he was partial, but that the eldest of the two sons was in good health. If you don’t have a living, and if it is recorded in your wife’s name, then you must be the heir of the Lin family in the future. It is really difficult for the second son’s body to pass the imperial examination!

Jia She couldn't make up his mind for a while, he just said to think about it, when Jia She and his son went to the residence, they heard a few servants talking, why the young master and the young lady are really siblings, and why the young master has never seen it several times Second Miss... Jia Amnesty frowned upon hearing this.

Mrs. Zhao has been running the Lin family for more than ten years, and soon got the news, and couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said: "Mr. Wang!" She rolled her eyes twice, and whispered something to the maid.

Not long after, in the study, Lin Ruhai smashed the teacup, feeling great hatred in his heart, what a Wang family, stretching his hands so far, a lowly concubine actually wanted to influence the important affairs of the Lin family's family history, Lin Ruhai's eyes burst into murderous intent.
