Love the Red House

Chapter 53: Inspiration

Stretching clothes and sleeves, surrounded by everyone, walking step by step into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, seeing the white wall and green garden, and the phoenix singing softly. Although it is a lonely winter day, the scenery is still very elegant. I can't help but admire it secretly. A person as refined as her is worthy of this place.

Shui Rong looked up, and saw under Qian's screen window, there was a shadowy figure, slim and graceful, like the softest and freshest willow branch in spring.

Although it's just a silent silhouette, it makes people feel that she is as beautiful as jade, and she is peerless. Shui Rong only feels that her heart is beating faster and faster, as if she is not under her control.

He couldn't help but secretly smiled, although he had reached the crown and stood alone, but as soon as he saw her, his heart was as mad as a young man who had just fallen in love for the first time.

How beautiful and fascinating this state of life is when you see your heart for the first time and see you again.

Chunxian who was standing at the bottom of the steps heard the footsteps, looked up and saw the group of them, was startled, panicked, and forgot to speak for a while.

Ming Yan saw it, hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Prince Bei is here to visit the second master, and come over to see Miss Lin, please let me know."

Hearing this, Chunxian was even more surprised, her eyes widened, she was at a loss, and could not make a sound for a long time, but Daiyu in the room heard the sound and asked, "Who is outside?"

The beautiful woman's voice is soft and melodious, and slowly enters the ears, like the oriole singing softly on the treetops in the morning, with a special charm, touching and soul-stirring, which makes people feel distressed and cared for.

A clear smile line stretched out from the water-soluble lips, and I felt that my chaotic heart calmed down in an instant.

In the depths of love, it turns out to be so wonderful, as soon as you hear her voice, you will have nothing else to ask for, and instead, there will be peace and silence, as if you are satisfied with having the whole world.

Taking a step closer, the water-soluble language is as gentle and elegant as jade, with a hint of tenderness and joy: "Mei'er misses the girl very much, so ask me to come over and have a look."

It's me, not me.

In front of everyone, he would pride himself on his identity, but in front of this woman, he was just an ordinary man, and the halo of worldly dignity faded away like a cloud, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

The clear and familiar voice slowly floated into the room with the cool winter wind. Daiyu, who was embroidering, missed a beat for no reason, and the hand holding the needle and thread tilted without warning, almost pricking her fingertips.

It's him.

It's very strange, even though I have only met him four times in the Northern Prince's Mansion, his voice seems to be burned into the depths of my memory, and I can never forget it, so that now I can distinguish it immediately when I hear it.

With clear eyes and flowing waves, Daiyu's peaceful breathing gradually became a little disordered, as if some thought was about to come out of her mind, and in the end, she sighed with condensed eyebrows, and slowly suppressed the palpitations in her heart. move.

The young year changed secretly, the cherries became red, the plantains became green, and there were ups and downs several times. Yu Baoyu's little affection had already disappeared without a trace.

However, because of this teenage love affair, the lingering sadness and sadness always followed closely like a nightmare, lingering between the eyebrows, entangled and gloomy like silk, so tight and dense that she almost Breathless.

There are thousands of purples and reds blooming all over the world, and each other has sworn to each other. Up to now, they have all turned into broken wells and ruins, leaving only a piece of sadness.

She could never forget this encounter, so she always reminded herself that she should never fall in love with men in the world again.

Maybe you will be lonely, maybe you will be lonely, but you still prefer to have an empty heart. At least, you don't have to be entangled in the world of mortals, and your heart will not be hurt at all.

In this way, it is already very good.

There were so many twists and turns in her heart, but it was only for a moment, Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, calmed down, turned her eyes to Xueyan, and said softly: "Princess Mei has good intentions, but I am a boudoir girl. , this is Jia's mansion again, I don't know how many people are watching coldly, why don't you go out and see, so as to save gossip."

Living in this place, although she has no worries about food and clothing, her life has never been comfortable. There are too many rules and regulations, too many strange eyes, which make her tired, and she has to pay attention to how she can be as unrestrained as she is in Beifu. , acting rashly?

What's more, she has vaguely realized that although she is determined to break up her relationship, in front of Shui Rong, between intentional and inadvertent, there will still be times when it is difficult to hold on to herself, and the inner reason cannot be discerned.

Up to now, if I meet him alone again, I'm afraid I don't even know what will happen. I'm afraid that this heart is out of control.

Since this is the case, it is better that the two do not meet each other, and each is safe.

Xueyan knew the reason for Shui Rong's visit, she couldn't help frowning when she heard the words, she moved her lips, and said hesitantly: "Prince Bei has a noble status, and now he is eager to come, and Princess Mei is entrusting him, how can we keep him out? The girl should go and have a look, so that the prince can feel at ease."

Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes were like wings, her eyes were clear and indifferent, she bit her red lips lightly, shook her head and said: "This is your fault, he is a modest gentleman, how can he be angry about such a trivial matter? If you say a few more words of apology for me, there will never be any problem."

Hearing that her words were calm but with a firm meaning, Xueyan took a breath, feeling a little unhappy, but because she knew Daiyu's temperament, she couldn't persuade her, so she had no choice but to nod her head and said: "Since this is the case, Xueyan can only stick to it." Miss." After saying that, he reluctantly stood up, stretched out his hand to lift the bead curtain, and slowly stepped out of the boudoir.

Wherever the eyes fell, I saw Shui Rong standing with his hands behind his back. His figure was tall and leisurely, and there was a smile of expectation on the corner of his lips. There seemed to be shining rays of light flowing between his sword eyebrows and star eyes, gentle and lingering, like the gurgling spring water in March in the south of the Yangtze River , Tsinghua is dazzling.

Really, the person who is like a banished fairy is tender and gentle, which makes people feel admiration in his heart and can't help himself.

Patting her chest lightly, Xueyan suppressed the exclamation in her heart, and slowly greeted her. After walking a few steps, she said, "I have seen the prince."

Because of Daiyu, and having met him a few times, Shui Rong was very polite, he stretched out his hand to help, and said with a smile: "Please get up."

He raised his hand and made the accompanying people take a few steps back, Fang looked at Xueyan and asked: "It has been eleven days since we left Beifu, I wonder if your girl is still okay?"

He remembered it so clearly, with all his heart, without words, Xueyan's eyebrows flashed, and she felt deeply unbearable, but she was helpless, and there was a deep sigh in her voice: "My lord, don't worry, our girl is fine, but, This place can't compare to Beiwang Mansion, melon fields and plum blossoms, men and women defending each other, although they are frank with each other, it is hard to stop the world from thinking wildly."

"Because of this reason, it is inconvenient for the girl to meet the prince, please forgive me, don't be angry."

Hearing that the water-soluble sword eyebrows lightly raised, the smile on the lips retracted, and gradually disappeared without a trace, and the disappointment was beyond words.

I fell in love when I was young, but because we are in two places, we miss each other and do not meet each other, so this feeling is slightly sad and deeply regretful in the beauty. Such feelings can only be dispelled by meeting her.

After waiting for so long, looking forward to it for so long, but now, he has received such a refusal, how can he bear it?

Even so, he is still a prudent and self-reliant gentleman. He is more respectful and considerate towards Daiyu, and he is not willing to force it. : "You girls are thinking well, it turns out that this king is being rude."

After hearing his answer, Xueyan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "My lord can understand, our girl must be very pleased to know."

I can't help feeling that I came here full of expectations, but I have to return disappointed, and I can't even see it. When encountering such a thing, no matter who I change, I will be annoyed and angry in my heart. What's more, the man in front of me still has the power of one person. With the honorable status above and above ten thousand people, everyone you see has always greeted you with a smile and obeyed your words. How can you bear the categorical rejection of others?

However, he has a gentle attitude and kind words. It can be seen that his magnanimity is truly unique in this world, and his affection for Daiyu cannot be described lightly.

I can't help but sigh, the man in front of me is personable, smiles like a spring breeze, never willing to embarrass others, so gentle and outstanding, which woman can not be addicted to it?

Thinking about it, in the near future, Daiyu's defenses will definitely disappear under this person's tenderness and soft words?

While meditating inwardly, Shui Rong Qingxuan's sword-brows, his gaze like the stream of stars, passed over her face, and fell lightly to Qian's screen window, with a faint flash of emotion, his tone softened, and his voice also carried a deep Infatuation: "Forget it, no matter what, I will never make things difficult for your girl, let alone let her suffer the slightest grievance because of me."

With a sigh, the tone was so low that it was almost inaudible: "The future is long, I can wait."

In just eight words, it expresses all the tenderness and tenderness. Compared with Baoyu who has been reckless and merciless all these years, it is nothing less than mud and clouds.

Xue Yan's eyebrows moved, faint water lines appeared in her eyes, the emotions in her heart came one after another, it was hard to express, but because she didn't want to embarrass Shui Rong, she just stood quietly, as if she had never heard of it.

After such a long silence, Shui Rong reluctantly showed his face, looked back at the servants holding brocade boxes behind him, and said to Xiang Xueyan: "Miss Lin has been away from home for many years, and she has been thinking about it very much. Meier has prepared some things, mostly from Jiangnan. Those who came as a tribute, gave it to the girl as a thought, and specially asked the king to bring it here."

Speaking of this, she coughed lightly, earnest concern appeared in her clear eyes, and then said: "You girls live here, you have enough food and clothing, and your thoughts are indifferent. If you think about it, you must say goodbye. Help me Persuasion and persuasion, let her accept it reluctantly for the sake of Meier's concern."

Xueyan pondered for a while, remembering the last time when she was in Beifu, on a night with a white moon and clear wind, when Daiyu was playing the piano, she inadvertently showed a sense of homesickness, after Shui Rong knew about it, she must have remembered it in her heart at that time.

Now these things may not have anything to do with Shuimei, but he prepared them himself, just to make Daiyu show off a little bit.

With such a movement in her mind, Xueyan didn't point it out, she just raised her red lips lightly, with a moving smile, she agreed: "The meaning of the Northern Prince, I have written it down."

Shui Rong nodded slowly, even though he knew that his relationship with Daiyu was still alienated, and he couldn't go out of line, he still couldn't help it, and said: "The weather is getting colder now, and your girls are delicate, so you must be careful and take good care of them, Take care of yourself, girl."

In a few words, what is revealed is the heart of ardent care and affection, all in silence.

Xueyan knelt down and bowed, Nuonuo said: "My lord, please don't worry, in this world, the maidservant cares most about the girl, and I will always pay attention to it, and will never let the girl feel bad."

Only then did Shui Rong feel a little relieved, his eyes were still fixed under the screen window, fixed on the falling shadow of the beautiful woman, lingering endlessly, as if he wanted to embed her in his mind, to comfort the deep nostalgia and the pain of lovesickness.

After a long time, Shui Rong sighed, his expression was full of reluctance, but he had no choice but to say: "It's getting late, this king will take my leave." As he said, his eyes still stayed there for a moment, before he bowed his hands to Xue Yan, slowly Yes, turn around and leave.

Xueyan didn't want to say anything else, she just lifted her skirt lightly, saluted and said: "Respectfully send off the prince."

After the water melted away, those servants stepped over and presented the things. Xueyan led them into the side room, arranged them properly, and gave them rewards. They didn't go to Daiyu to answer until they left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Sure enough, Daiyu heard that the North Mansion sent something, but she refused to accept it, so Xueyan could only persuade vaguely: "The things have already been delivered, how can I withdraw? Besides, this is Princess Mei's wish, she is so worried about it." Girl, why should girl make her sad?"

After hearing these words, Daiyu pondered for a long time, Fang nodded and said: "You are right, that's all, you can't let go of your mind, and thank you when you see the princess later."

When I opened the box, I saw that there were indeed items from the south of the Yangtze River, such as silk and satin, brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, antique calligraphy and paintings, green hairpins and jade rings, dim sum and tea leaves. There is a brocade box of golden silk bird's nest, pure in texture, clear and crystal clear, obviously the best stuff, the used Fengwu Guqin in Qingzhi Pavilion that night was also sent over.

Although Daiyu's thoughts are indifferent, when she saw these things, she couldn't help but feel a little grateful, and her heart was full of tenderness, as if she was in the warm and windy March of Yangchun, and her body and mind felt comfortable and warm.

For a person who was born in a foreign land and depended on others, what else can soothe his lonely mood more than something from his hometown?

Stretching out her hand to caress the dazzling array of earth instruments, Daiyu smiled brightly and said movedly: "It seems that Princess Mei has put a lot of thought into it."

Xueyan moved her lips, she wanted to blurt out a lot of words, but she held back.

She will never forget that there are different identities, and many times, there are many rules that cannot be surpassed, let alone speak out easily to interfere with the girl's own feelings.

Over the years, Zijuan often talked about Baoyu's benefits beside Daiyu, and encouraged Daiyu to be emotional, but in the end, it was only an illusion.

Although I knew in my heart that Shui Rong was completely different from Baoyu, but I was still unwilling to repeat the path that Zijuan had traveled.

What's more, she knew in her heart that Daiyu was a very intelligent and beautiful woman, and she had her own ups and downs in her chest when it came to world affairs, so she really didn't need others to point her out.

Therefore, all I have to do is to stay with this woman and watch her do things by herself.

Daiyu knew nothing about the thoughts in her heart. After pondering for a while, she was tired of Tanchun's indifference, Baoyu's innocence, and Baochai's tactful sophistication, so she just said: "There are so many things. If you can’t use it all up, you pick some suitable ones and send them to Fourth Younger Sister and Huan’er, especially Huan’er, life is hard, so you have to give more.”

Hearing this, Xueyan couldn't help laughing. Others often say that her daughter is small-minded and difficult to get along with, but they never know that, in fact, she just treats the world with her own heart, and refuses to mix in the slightest hypocrisy. A noble sentiment of compassion.

She once promised in front of Jia Huan that as long as Jia Huan is determined to make progress, she will do her best to care for him, help him, and support him.

And these days, she has been using her actions to fulfill her original promise, and she has never forgotten it.

It is truly a blessing in my life to serve such a woman.

Thinking this way in her heart, Xueyan hurriedly agreed, and went to clean up without mentioning it.

According to the etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty, during the February [-]th period, the family members of the concubines in the harem can visit the palace to comfort the family.

Carved beams and painted buildings, paved with jade as steps, set up multiple corridors and corridors, connected with a series of palaces, stretching across a stretch, gorgeous and elegant, with a magnificent style.

Under the shining of the winter sun, it looks more and more resplendent and magnificent, like a fairyland in the sky, which is breathtaking.

It was the second day of November, and Mrs. Wang followed the little eunuch leading the way, her eyebrows lowered, and she walked along the delicate winding corridor, looking cautious.

When the magnificent Fengzao Palace appeared in front of her eyes, Madam Wang couldn't help but raise her lips even though she knew to maintain a steady attitude, her smile was somewhat proud and satisfied.

The imperial palace is the most prosperous place in the whole world. It is the dream of prosperity that countless women have dreamed of. However, her daughter successfully jumped up the branch and gained a foothold here. What a glorious scenery, it is beyond words.

After stepping into the hall for a while, there are many court ladies, like stars arching the moon. The concubine Yuan is sitting on the top, her green silk is combed into a fairy-looking bun, and on the left and right sides, there are clusters of coral-inlaid jade double-closed long hairpins. , like a red cloud pressing down on the top, wearing a goose yellow wide-sleeved cloud dress made of silk brocade, embroidered with gold and silver threads into five Zhai Lingyun patterns, complicated and dazzling, revealing a brilliant royal nobility.

Seeing such a gorgeous and graceful daughter, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, but because etiquette was at stake, she had to restrain herself, bow down and salute respectfully.

Concubine Yuan has been in the palace for many years, and she is 26 years old this year. Although she is one year older than the emperor, relying on her own talents and scheming, she climbed to the position of imperial concubine step by step in the palace full of intrigues and intrigues. And know.

Because of this kind of encounter, she has developed a dignified and stable temperament, a cheek that seems to be able to accommodate all emotions, emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy are all settled here, passing by in a flash, without leaking.

Seeing her biological mother at this moment, although Concubine Yuan was happy in her heart, she still had a serious face, her delicate lips parted slightly, and she said sweetly: "Mr. Wang Gong is here, sit down and talk." After speaking, she gently raised her hand, The maids behind all understood, lowered their eyebrows, and withdrew one by one.

When there was no one around, Mrs. Wang looked up and saw that the furnishings in the hall were a bit more luxurious than when she came here last time, she liked it even more in her heart, and said with a smile: "Your kindness is profound, your empress is really blessed."

Concubine Yuan's eyes were full of complacency, but because she had been in the palace for many years, she had already developed a character of not showing emotions, so she only curled her lips and replied, "Fortunately, it's just that the wind hasn't fallen yet."

Speaking of this, the tip of his eyebrows raised imperceptibly, and he saw a slight look of sadness, and then sighed softly: "I have been in the palace for many years, but I have never come out, it is really worrying."

Being in the harem, what you rely on is that little grace of the king. However, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and there are stunning beauty everywhere. Who can keep the beauty and grace forever?

No matter how much he is favored, no matter how precious he is, it is still not as important as having a biological prince.

After listening to Concubine Yuan's words, Mrs. Wang couldn't help being touched. Although today's son has been on the throne for more than eight years, he has few heirs, which has always been a pity.

With a daughter as a concubine, if she can give birth to an outstanding prince who is expected to inherit the throne, it will definitely make the Jia family's wealth and honor even higher in the future.

She had been looking forward to this kind of worry for many years, but it was all in vain. She gradually became anxious and disheartened.

Even so, but in front of Concubine Yuan, she couldn't show the depression in her heart, instead she smiled and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, your Majesty is still so young, and you have to be favored by Your Majesty, take good care of yourself, and you will naturally have a prince in the future." , after all, the empress is blessed with good luck, born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, with a good horoscope, God will definitely take care of her."

Only then did Concubine Yuan show off her face when she heard that, and said with an expectant tone: "I hope that my wish can be fulfilled as respected by others."

After smiling, he looked at Mrs. Wang and asked, "The situation in the mansion, is the old lady's health okay?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly bowed her body and replied, "Thanks to your mother, everything is fine."

As he spoke, he sighed lightly, with a faint worry on his brows, and then said: "It's just that Baoyu's body has been a little unwell recently, and it's really distressing to see."

Before entering the palace, Concubine Yuan often took care of Baoyu, and she loved her younger brother the most. She was surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "I should ask a better imperial doctor to take care of her."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "The courtiers and wives all know what the empress said. I think it will be fine as long as I rest for a few days."

As he said that, he looked at Concubine Yuan, with an earnestness in his eyes, and said with a smile: "This time, the minister's wife entered the palace, apart from visiting the empress, she knew that the empress was very concerned about Baoyu, and wanted to discuss with the empress about Baoyu. For marriage, choose a woman who suits him as a match."

Concubine Yuan pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Speaking of which, Baoyu is sixteen this year, and it's time to start a family."

Looking up at Mrs. Wang, the corners of her lips stretched slightly, but she smiled without showing her teeth, and said softly: "When the old lady came, she mentioned in front of Ben Gong that Baoyu and Lin's cousin had a very close relationship. , if you can get married, it must be a beautiful thing in the world, I don't know if your trip is just for this marriage?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang opened her eyes wide, jumped up from the chair, and cried out: "Of course not, that girl of the Lin family is enchanting and charming, and she often seduces Baoyu's soul." Go, if she becomes Baoyu's daughter-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to breathe, and I will die soon."

Concubine Yuan has never seen her lose her composure like this before, but she was not too surprised, she only frowned her slender eyebrows, and reminded: "This place is unusual, please pay attention to what you say, even if you don't want to, just discuss it carefully. If you have to yell, it will be bad if others hear you."

Mrs. Wang's face flushed, she was a little embarrassed, but she smiled quickly, and said apologetically, "What the empress said is, my wife has made a note of it, and I will never do it again in the future."

He stretched out his hand to straighten his sleeves, and when he spoke again, he had already stabilized his voice, but there was an unconcealable coldness and resentment in every word: "It is the fault of the minister's wife to speak improperly, but if the empress understands the fault of the minister's wife I must be able to understand a thing or two about my heart."

"When the courtiers married into Jia's family, Lin Yatou's mother was a girl at home. She was outstanding, talented, and eloquent. She was very clever in everything. The eyes of the whole family were only on her. Not only can the minister's wife not be able to stand out, but because she is a girl in the mansion, she has to serve her against her will, and those days were really miserable."

"It was not easy until she got married. She had just settled down for a few years, but the old lady wanted to pick up Miss Lin. She also had a sickly beauty. As soon as she entered the mansion, she was fascinated by Baoyu. , smashed the life-like jade several times, causing a lot of right and wrong, never letting people live in peace, even this illness, it is also inseparable from the Lin family girl."

"If she becomes Baoyu's daughter-in-law, there will be no peace in the family in the future. With her body that collapses in the wind, how can she help the courtiers and wives to manage the house? I am afraid that people will still have to wait and worry about it. This is not like marrying a daughter-in-law. Instead, you are asking for guilt and finding a mother-in-law for yourself, how can the court wife endure such a day?"

After hearing these fierce words, Concubine Yuan frowned, thought for a long time, and said: "It turns out that there are so many grievances in Ren Gong's heart. Although the old lady is the head of the family, Ren Gong is the biological mother of this palace. , the old lady's side is naturally separated by a layer, this palace should put Gongren's wishes first, and will never let Gongren suffer any more."

As he spoke, he stretched out his slender hand, tapped on the table, and with a charming smile, he asked, "There is no need to hide between mother and child. I don't know about Baoyu. Is there anyone else I like?"

Mrs. Wang calmed down, nodded hurriedly, and replied: "Your Majesty values ​​my wife so much, how can I hide it? Naturally, I have something to say."

Sitting down again, a very bright smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and she said immediately: "The younger sister of the minister's wife married into the Xue family and gave birth to a daughter. This year, she has a beautiful appearance and a dignified manner. I saw her last time when I went back to visit my relatives. I don't know." What do you think of her in your heart?"

Concubine Yuan pondered for a while, nodded and said: "That girl, although she is not as good-looking as Lin's cousin, she speaks cautiously, she is indeed an outstanding person."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's smile deepened, and there was a hint of urgency in her voice: "Ms. Xue has always respected my ministers very much, and she is also cautious, steady and self-restraining. If I can get her as my daughter-in-law, my ministers will be the same in this life. It's a pity that it is Baoyu, with her advice and company, she will surely grow up, which is really wonderful."

Concubine Yuan raised her hand, gently stroking the jade bracelet on her wrist that was as clear and crystal clear as clear water, with a look of indifference in her eyes, she muttered: "Your respect is so earnest, I should agree with it, but, Jia The family has a prominent family, but Xue's family is just a merchant, if we marry with him, it will be suspected of being inappropriate."

Hearing Concubine Yuan's contempt for Xue's family, Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said: "My lady's words are very reasonable, but, as the saying goes, marrying a wife should marry a virtuous person, we This kind of family does not lack wealth, as long as the person looks good and has a good temperament, the rest is really unnecessary."

With a frown, a sharp stream of light flashed through his eyes, and then he said: "Besides, the Xue family is not an ordinary merchant, but an imperial merchant. Few people can match the wealth of the family. If this marriage can be achieved, the future share The dowry must be extremely rich."

Concubine Yuan's eyebrows flickered slightly, but she was still silent. Mrs. Wang looked at her, waited for a long time, and slowly bit her lips, as if she had made up her mind, her voice was slightly lowered: "The empress is always in the palace, and the situation in the mansion is very difficult. I must not be clear if I think about it. Although there is support from the empress, the family affairs of the Jia family have been difficult in recent years, with less income and a lot of expenditure. They have to take care of everything. The expenses in this palace have also consumed a lot, and they really need a sum of money. Big gains can fill up the vacancies."

Hearing this, Concubine Yuan's complexion was slightly gloomy, and after a long silence, Fang Ping calmly nodded and said, "Forget it, since Mr. Gong wants to choose a girl from the Xue family, I can't turn a deaf ear to it, so I decided to marry Jia Xue according to Mr. Gong's wishes." thing."

Hearing her promise, Mrs. Wang couldn't help smiling, and said happily, "Thank you, Ma'am."

His eyes glowed, showing the joy of his dream come true, he stood up and saluted, and then said: "I am very happy to have the support of my mother, but the old lady has always been in love with Miss Lin, so she can't ignore it. It's better for the empress to write a handbook, so that the old lady has nothing else to say, and this marriage will be much more glorious."

Concubine Yuan's vermilion lips moved slightly, and she let out a soft breath, with a touch of hesitation in her voice: "I don't mind writing a handbook, but I remember that the old lady vaguely mentioned that the cousin of the Lin family came to Jia's house to live under the fence, and she was not empty. Come, behind her, there is the huge family property accumulated by the Lin family of five generations of princes."

"Before the uncle of the Lin family passed away, he entrusted all the inheritance to Jia Lian and brought it into Jia's house. He said that it would be used as a dowry when Cousin Lin grew up, so that Cousin Lin could live in peace."

"Later, because the grand project of building the Grand View Garden required too much money, all the property of the Lin family was embezzled, so that the palace could save time and be able to show off the splendor of the capital."

"The old lady also said that she only has this one granddaughter, and she loves her very much. Although she had to embezzle the money under her name for the sake of Jia's family, she had planned to ration Cousin Lin to Baoyu and marry Cousin Lin to Baoyu. It's only natural to use her money as my own family."

"Nowadays, Congren's heart is thinking that if he wants to marry the Xue family, I can't object, but I'm afraid I have to give an explanation to the old lady and Cousin Lin, especially Cousin Lin, who is so big. The sum of money is her reliance for living in the future, how can she give up easily? How will Gong be able to deal with it when the time comes?"

Hearing Concubine Yuan speak slowly, there was worry in her voice, Mrs. Wang smiled lightly, showing a calm expression, shook her head and said: "If you talk about this, you don't have to worry, my wife has her own way to deal with it."

Concubine Yuan was a little surprised when she heard that she looked at Mrs. Wang, raised her eyebrows and said, "Mr. Gong is so confident. Could it be that she intends to collect all the money and return it to Cousin Lin? In between, where can I get so much money?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head immediately, without a moment's hesitation, with a slight smile on her lips, she replied: "I have never thought of such an idea before, and I will never do that in the future."

The window was opened and closed, and cold wind broke in wantonly, carrying the coldness to the bone without any trace, but Mrs. Wang's voice was even colder, like broken ice floating on the water and touching coldly: "When Miss Lin entered the mansion, the minister's wife was already Seeing that the old lady wanted to get closer, and worried that this would come true, the minister's wife put a little thought into the pills that Lin Yatou took daily. Ordinary people can't bear it, how can she pass this test with a weak body like Lin Yatou?"

Hearing these cold words, Concubine Yuan was stunned for a moment, a sharp color flashed in her lacquered eyes like cold water, and as her thoughts turned, she had already roughly understood the cause and effect of this matter.

It turned out that at a very early age, my mother had already started to make arrangements, to guard against and plot against Daiyu.

At first, he was only worried about Baoyu's marriage, but later, he also wanted to seize the inheritance. Naturally, he couldn't do it. To save any sympathy, he had to do it resolutely and resolutely, so as to eliminate all worries.

After understanding this, Concubine Yuan felt a sense of awe in her heart, but she still didn't change her expression and didn't take it seriously.
