[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

Mother Jia sat in the hall for an unknown period of time, and Daiyu accompanied her, never opening her mouth, but holding a cup and covering her face.

Mother Jia couldn't hold her breath any longer, so she called her maid and asked, "Isn't it over yet?"

The servant girl bowed and said, "I'm still singing the gift list. After singing a box, another box will be brought in."

"Where do you put it?"

"The second wife put it in a yard and said that it was specially for Miss Lin to put the dowry gift, and she will send it along with the dowry in the future."

Jiamu pursed her lips tightly, she really wanted to show a kind look, but the anger in her heart couldn't be sorted out, and her facial features showed a little coldness.

Jiamu turned her head to look at Daiyu and said with a smile, "This is really a good marriage."

Daiyu also smiled, but her smile was much warmer: "I never thought that there would be such a battle."

Daiyu didn't want to poke Jiamu's heart like this, but Jiamu's words were faintly dissatisfied, so she had no choice but to block these words back.

When Daiyu's voice fell, Jia Mu's complexion was really weird.

After that, the two had no more words.

This waited for a long time, and there was no result yet, but a maid from Mrs. Wang came and said that she had cleaned up another yard for Daiyu, next to the yard where the betrothal gift was placed, and waited to clean it up at night. Well, let Daiyu live in the past.

Daiyu was very happy.

She doesn't like the Bisha cabinet, not at all.

It can be seen that when it is really urgent, it may not be impossible to clean up the yard and come out to her.

Daiyu smiled and said to the servant girl, "Then I would like to thank Second Aunt."

When I turned around, I saw that Jiamu's complexion was even uglier.

Daiyu had no choice but to pretend not to know, and played with her handkerchief with her head down.

The stagnation of the atmosphere was not limited to the hall of Rongguo Mansion.

There is also Lin'anbo Mansion.

"Brother! Brother!" The door of the study was slapped.

Uncle Lin'an opened the door, and saw his sister rushing straight into his arms: "Why are you so reckless?"

But when he said this, his tone was not harsh.

Sure enough, Lingyue didn't take it seriously, and grabbed the lapel of Uncle Lin'an's shirt with one hand, and said anxiously, "Don't you know, brother? The emperor ordered that Miss Lin to be married!"

"What?" Uncle Lin'an was stunned for a moment, and a glimpse of that day suddenly flashed in his mind.

There was a sudden pain in my heart.

No wonder that day and the servant rejected him with various reasons.

Seeing him in a daze, Lingyue glanced carefully at her elder brother's face, but she was not as energetic as before.

He was haggard, and his eyes were filled with longing.

Lingyue was jealous and angry in her heart, she gritted her teeth and said, "Brother is studying behind closed doors these days, I'm afraid I don't know who the emperor gave her to?"

"Who?" Uncle Lin'an looked dazed.At this point, it doesn't make much difference to him who it is.

"He Shen and the servant." Lingyue looked up at him, her eyes were bloodshot, as if she hadn't slept well for several nights.

"Who!" Uncle Lin'an came back to his senses suddenly, grabbed his sister's wrist, and asked in a loud voice.

Lingyue gasped, as if to calm down the resentment and jealousy in her heart: "Heshen and the servant... He didn't allow you to marry Miss Lin, but he married Miss Lin himself. But he married... It's..."

Lingyue squatted down while talking.

Tears "swish" down the ground.

She is the only daughter of Lin'an Bo, the one held in the palm of the mansion, those girls who adore her brother all look at her face.

She looks good, and there is never a lack of people who want to come to marry her.

After finally falling in love with a young son, it happened that Miss Lin happened to be extra.

Miss Lin is more beautiful than her, her figure is more slender than her, and even her bearing is better than her...

"What does he mean?" Uncle Lin'an gritted his teeth, the veins popped out on his neck, completely lost his poise.

"What does he mean!" He suddenly burst out angrily.

At this moment, he was much more masculine than usual.

When he lowered his head and saw his sister crying so pitifully, Uncle Lin'an felt even more angry in his chest.

He Shen... is too deceitful!

First insulting his sister, then humiliating him, messing up his marriage proposal.

Uncle Lin'an no longer had the slightest admiration for He Shen in his heart, what was left was only strong anger.

"I'm going to ask him for a result!"

Lingyue squatted on the ground, nodded, and watched her brother go away.

Soon, the servant girl came over and helped Lingyue up.

Lingyue grabbed the servant girl's sleeve and began to cry: "If I had known that he defended her like that, I wouldn't have been quick to talk..."

The servant girl didn't dare to persuade her, she just patted Lingyue on the shoulder and said: "Girl, don't cry..." How could she dare to say that Lingyueguang's mouth had offended many people long ago, how could it be corrected in a short while?

Lingyue's subordinates pulled the servant girl's sleeves tighter, and then the servant girl heard a barely audible voice from her mouth: "Why is brother so useless? I like Miss Lin, but why can't I marry her..."

The servant girl shivered and dared not say anything.

I'm afraid that a half-word of agreement today will reach the ears of the masters.

Regarding the gift of marriage, Lingyue listened to the gossip of the servants in the mansion, on the one hand she sympathized with the young master's failure to propose marriage, and on the other hand she envied the dowry gift that stretched for ten miles.

Immediately, Lingyue was stabbed in the heart like an arrow, and the pain was unbearable.

Taking advantage of Mammy's absence, she escaped from the old lady's yard.She didn't know what she could do, but she knew her brother could question him.At least... At least it can ruin the reputation of the Lin family girl.

Seeing her strange expression, the servant girl was really startled. She only thought that she had been greatly stimulated recently, so she stretched out her hand to support Lingyue, and persuaded her: "The girl should go back, otherwise the old lady should lose her temper."

Lingyue's expression has relaxed a lot at this time, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said, "Let's go."

How could there be anything in this world that wasn't what she wanted?

It was Lingyue who was restrained, so it was very easy for Mr. Lin'an to come and go.The anger swept through his chest, and it was unbearable.

Relying on this anger, Uncle Lin'an walked all the way to Rongning Street.

Rongning Street was even more noisy than before, but no one controlled it.

With great difficulty, he separated from the crowd and squeezed in, only to see those tall guards and the Eight Banners Army in uniform with the word "bing" standing in front of his eyes.

Uncle Lin'an stopped, the fire in his heart gradually subsided, and finally fell silent.

So what if he walked outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion?Has the emperor's marriage been destroyed?Then a group of guards and the Eight Banners Army here will be able to take him down immediately.

That was not just a matter of justice for him, but a serious crime of blasphemy against the might of God.

I'm afraid it will implicate the entire Lin'anbo mansion.

He smiled wryly, and gradually backed away.

The people are still discussing eagerly.

"Did you hear it just now? The things read on the gift list are really something you have never even heard before."

"A lot of them are from the imperial court..."

"Have you seen that Yu Ruyi?"

"The phoenix crown was mentioned in the gift list just now, and it was said to be made of pure gold..."

Uncle Lin'an was already in a daze.

Those words seemed to turn into sharp arrows, one after another pierced into his heart.

Even though he was dissatisfied with He Shen's use of such means, there was already a very wide gap between him and He Shen in the past, and now he just widened the gap even more, even if he flattered him.

He Shen is really right.

Compared with He Shen, what can he give Miss Lin?

Uncle Lin'an grabbed his palms and left the street in a daze. When he reached the gate of the mansion, he looked up and saw that it was slightly dark.

A gust of cold wind blew, making him shiver.

He is fully awake.

No, what did he do just now?

If he really rushed up with righteous indignation, not only would he drag the entire Lin'anbo mansion into the water, but he might also cause Miss Lin's reputation to suffer.

At that time, he was afraid that he would lose face even more.

I don't even remember her face.

It took more than three hours until the betrothal gift was settled.

He Shen didn't stay in Rongguo Mansion for long, he bid farewell to Lin Ruhai, and invited the guards to drink.

The soldiers of the Xianghuang Banner naturally did not dare to leave the camp for a long time, so He Shen ordered the restaurant to prepare good wine, meat and dishes and sent them to the camp, asking everyone to celebrate with him.

This move was naturally carried out under Qianlong's acquiescence.

With such a large sum of money, there was another uproar in Beijing.

Even when He Lin went to the government school to study, he met classmates who came to ask about his brother's marriage.

Naturally, He Lin would not lose face to her elder brother, and praised that Miss Lin as if it was only found in the sky, but it was hard to find on the earth.

The official school is full of a bunch of brats, and they still yearn for it after hearing it.Naturally, they didn't dare to think about that Miss Lin, but they couldn't help but imagine what their future wife would look like.

Unknowingly, Daiyu's reputation in the capital has been elevated.

In addition, I have heard about it in Jia's private school.

Baoyu didn't know about this at first, but on this day, a classmate came to him and asked him: "I heard that the second master Bao has a cousin who has both talent and appearance, like a fairy in the sky, and got a marriage from the emperor..."

Baoyu laughed: "What marriage?"

How he never heard of it.

The person who spoke was puzzled: "Did Second Master Bao not know about it? How lively was Rongning Street two days ago? That betrothal gift set up a long street."

Baoyu's face darkened: "Who is the marriage for?"

"It's Miss Lin from the family." After the man finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "I don't dare to make unreasonable comments, but I just ask a few questions. I don't think Second Master Bao will know. Don't ask Second Master Bao. I’m sorry, why don’t you go back and ask someone.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, Baoyu stood up abruptly, grabbed his hair and started fighting with him.

"Call you nonsense! How did sister Lin get a marriage offer?"

The others couldn't hold back, but Baoyu's servant rushed up to fight together.

It took half an hour before the teacher from the private school was called to leave.

At this moment, Baoyu's anger gradually dissipated, but he could not stand still. A few servants glanced at him and saw that his eyes were scarlet, and the next moment, he fell down...

Immediately there was a mess in the private school, and several people hurriedly carried Baoyu back.

Xue Pan shook his head: "Why is Baoyu so weak..."

Thinking of this, he was afraid that Aunt Xue would blame him for not caring enough about Baoyu, so he still followed.

This incident first reached Helin's ears.

Ever since he knew that Jia Baoyu was up to no good, he bought a few people with money and told them to keep an eye on Jia Baoyu's actions in the private school.

He Lin thought that in the future, he could also use Jia Baoyu as a trick to beat Jia Baoyu, but he didn't dare to say a word.

At this time, he heard several people tell him that Jia Baoyu played foolishly when he heard that Miss Lin was given a marriage.He Lin slammed the wine glass, stood up, and said angrily, "This is my brother's happy marriage with Miss Lin, and he just looks for bad luck like this..."

Several people hurriedly bowed and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Don't move him today. Tomorrow, wait until he enters a private school, and beat him again."

Several people nodded hurriedly.

He Lin was worried that if he attacked now, he couldn't hold back his anger, so what would he do if he beat Jia Baoyu to death?

It's a happy event, but you can't add such a bloody smell.

Helin comforted herself repeatedly like this, and then she felt much more comfortable, and then said goodbye to her friends and went back home.

Baoyu was carried back to the mansion, and Rongguo mansion was in chaos when it was neutral.

Mother Jia patted her legs and sighed, "What a wicked fate..."

After all, he only asked the maid to invite Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to come.

As for the "Yu'er" that she used to talk about in the past, she no longer mentions it now.

The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is still there, but it is impossible to make Jiamu feel free from grudges.Especially when she saw her beloved grandson crying "Sister Lin", Jia's mother felt even more pain in her heart.

She had complied with Baoyu's words, but she failed...

Daiyu has already changed her residence from the Bisha cabinet.

This courtyard is so small that it doesn't even have a name, and it's next to Sanchun's Baoxia Hall.But Daiyu was very satisfied.

The maids and women were still tidying up the things brought from the green gauze cupboard, so Daiyu lazily leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, eating the washed fruits from the azalea.

After a while, Xueyan ran in from outside, leaned into Daiyu's ear and said, "Second Master Bao is making trouble again..."

Daiyu frowned slightly, she lost her mood to eat fruit, she asked: "But it's because of me?"

Xueyan nodded, with a look of disdain in her eyes.

Daiyu lay down and said: "Fortunately, there is no room for them to take advantage of now. Let him make trouble, and it will never happen to me."

After saying this, Daiyu felt very relaxed again.

Xueyan smiled and said, "Exactly."

Zicuckoo also happened to enter the door, and said with a smile: "I just wait for the regular date."

Daiyu blinked her eyes, looking at the candlelight above her head, she felt more expectation in her heart.

In the other room, Baoyu made a fuss for half the night before resting.

Mrs. Wang's chest was sore from anger, and she raised her hand to rub it from time to time when she came out.

Jin Chuan'er, the maid beside her, scolded angrily: "This Miss Lin is also a cruel person. Second Master Bao is sick, but she doesn't come to take a look..."

Mrs. Wang turned her head to look at her, and said coldly: "Why did you drag Miss Lin in for nothing? She only got engaged in the past two days, so she can't be sick."

Jin Chuan'er was confused.

Who dares to despise Second Master Bao like this, shouldn't it be the Second Wife who is mad at Mr. Bao?

But Mrs. Wang has always been serious, and Jin Chuaner dared not speak again.

What Mrs. Wang was thinking at the moment was that fortunately Daiyu called her servant and waited for her. If she really matched Baoyu, it would be a disaster in the future.

The old lady was so scheming in normal times, but now she was blinded. She didn't know if it was because of her daughter who died young, or because of the official position and wealth of the Lin family...

Mrs. Wang suppressed the sarcasm in her heart and went back to the courtyard.

Another day I still have to mention Baochai with Aunt Xue.

As for Xiren, I should mention one or two points...
