The Forest of Red Mansions

If he had known that he would attract such an unlucky child, Lin Jinyao would never take his younger siblings to any racecourse today, but it's a pity that money is hard to buy.

I don't know how he made such a fuss after returning to the palace, and within two days, Yinzhen was thrown out of the palace and thrown to the fourth master. Since then, there has been another piece of dog skin plaster in the Lin family's village, and it still cannot be torn off. open kind.

Lin Daiyu had to hide in Tibet every day, but that unlucky child seemed to have a dog's nose. No matter where she was hiding, he could always find her by smelling the scent. He did too much, so he had to try his best to help his poor second girl hide. Fortunately, he was not too lawless and went directly into the girl's boudoir.

Yinzhen's mother is Yifei, one of the four veteran concubines, and she is loved by the sage for her straightforward personality, and her own son, the fifth prince, was raised under the empress dowager's knee since childhood, which made the empress dowager feel a little pity and guilt towards her, so This concubine Yi is definitely the number one figure in the harem.

When she was young, she was spoiled by her mother and her slaves raised her up. Yinzhen's character is really not that good, she is quite domineering and arrogant. Most of the time, she only follows her own heart, but often ignores other people's feelings and ideas.

In fact, this is also a common problem of people of noble birth, because they have been used to being superior since birth, and they are used to being carried along by others, and they have no awareness of empathy at all in their hearts. Little hairy kid, don't expect him to have a mature mind, a little ancestor at this age, it's a shame.

Even Fourth Master's cold face doesn't work any more, and after being taught a lesson, he is still lawless, which is really a headache.

Lin Jinyao watched her younger sister play hide-and-seek everywhere every day, or simply stay in the room without going out. After a few days, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother Jiu, do you really like my sister so much?"

"Of course!" Yinzhen nodded without hesitation and said, "Little Yu'er is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, only she can match up with Elder Brother Ben, and only a handsome man like Elder Brother Ben who is so suave and graceful can do that." She is worthy of her." As she spoke, she waved her fan coquettishly in her hand.

Lin Jinyao couldn't help the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, this unlucky child!

Still handsome?Whoops, little man!

"But my sister doesn't like you." Lin Jinyao said flatly, "Especially if you chase after her every day and beat her hard, not only will she not like you, but she will hate you even more."

"You're talking nonsense! No way!" The bear blushed with anger.

"Yinzhen." Fourth master stared coldly, "Don't be rude."

Yinzhen snorted angrily, "If you haven't married yet and come home, just protect her like this. Don't cry when your husband is weak in the future!"

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm happy, I don't need you to worry about it."

Yinzhen rubbed his arms with a numb face, "It's really embarrassing for the men of the Aixinjueluo family."

Lin Jinyao coughed slightly uncomfortably, and said, "Brother Jiu, don't think I'm fooling you. Just imagine, if someone chases after you all day regardless of your wishes, forcing you to dodge everywhere or even You don’t even dare to leave the room, what would you be thinking?”

what idea?Drag it out and kill it!

Yinzhen curled her lips, speechless for a while.

Lin Jinyao continued: "Brother Jiu may not know that our mother was killed by a concubine at home, and even my younger brother was almost murdered, so the three of us have a shadow of my concubine, if possible , My sister and I both hope that she can marry a clean man with a clean backyard in the future. This alone is enough to make my sister repel you."

"Furthermore, although my younger sister is intelligent, she is pure and innocent by nature. She will never be able to adapt to the secrets of the backyard, let alone deal with them with ease. What's more, the royal family's water is deeper than ordinary wealthy families. If it is true Calling her into the royal family, I am afraid that one day she will be gnawed until there is no bone left."

"That's why I don't agree with you from the bottom of my heart. She is my most beloved little sister. I only hope that she can live a peaceful life as she pleases. You have what she doesn't need, but What she wants, but you will never be able to give it. Brother Jiu, please think about it carefully, you shouldn't be so selfish if you really like someone. "

After finishing speaking, Lin Jinyao got up and left without looking at Yinzhen's ugly face.

Although this unfortunate child is still young, the royal family has never had a real child, and she believes that he can understand what she said.

It's just the face that fell in love at first sight, so if you cut the mess as soon as possible, maybe you can cut off his thoughts directly, otherwise if you continue to entangle like this, maybe you will fall in love at second sight.

"Yaoyao."

"Fourth master?"

Lin Jinyao sat alone in the pavilion, and the maids and mothers who usually followed her were gone.

Seeing this scene, fourth master couldn't help but smile across his eyes, and sat down beside her.

"The royal family cannot accommodate a couple for a lifetime."

Lin Jinyao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, but she still listened calmly.

"When Empress Xiaokangzhang first entered the palace, she was actually favored for a while, but later, the late emperor encountered a catastrophe in his life. Once Dong E's family appeared, everything changed. In order to get Dong E's family, the late emperor did not hesitate to contradict him many times. Empress Wen of Xiaozhuang did not hesitate to risk the disapproval of the world to snatch her sister-in-law, and after Dong E's entry into the palace, there were 3000 beauties in the harem, and she was loved by three thousand."

"I was appointed concubine when I first entered the palace, and then I was promoted to imperial concubine in less than a month. It can be seen from his great favor. From then on, the late emperor's harem became a decoration, and all concubines lived in the shadow of Dong E's family." Now, even after the Dong E family gave birth to the prince, the first emperor was ecstatic and issued an edict to the world, "This is my first son". , and after that, he even pardoned the world, wishing he could be directly named the prince, and completely treat the other princes as nothing."

"All the concubines and princes in the harem hated Dong E, and Empress Xiaokangzhang and Huang Ama were no exception. Even the current queen mother has been hating Dong E for so many years. When Dong E was alive, The Empress Dowager has been a widow all the time, and she even has to worry about her status not being guaranteed all the time. After Dong E's death, she took the life of the late Emperor directly, which really made the Empress Dowager a widow. If you ask who the Empress Dowager hates the most, it is not Dong. E's is none other than."

"All of this, because the Dong E clan was the true love of the first emperor, so all of them have become abandoned existences. This is the untouchable scale in the hearts of the emperor Ama and the empress dowager. Therefore, the royal family cannot tolerate it. One pair for life people."

"If I show that I only have a soft spot for you, or even if I only take a scoop of weak water for three thousand, then both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will definitely hate you extremely, and they will absolutely not tolerate you. Just like our first life, it will bring you disaster."

"So I can't push you to the table again, so I can't allow you to be a couple for the rest of your life. In the future, there will be other women in the backyard, but I swear in the name of Aixinjueluo, I will never marry you." Would touch any other woman. You have always been the only one I want."

"In the future... I promise you that there will be no concubine in the sixth palace."

The deep affection revealed in those dark eyes could almost drown people, but there was also a little uneasiness mixed in, and he just stared at her stubbornly.

There was silence.

After a long time, when Yinzhen was almost on the verge of despair, the softness and tenderness in his hand suddenly made him ecstatic.

"Yaoyao!"

Lin Jinyao's face turned hot, she lowered her head shyly, but obediently asked him to hold her hands tightly.

What she said to Yinzhen just now meant that she wanted to take the opportunity to test fourth master's bottom line.

"A good wife and loving mother", this is a path she has set for herself after weighing the pros and cons after coming to this world, but this path is just a last resort out of desperation.

Ordinary woman, who doesn't want to have a lover who knows the cold and the hot, and has a warm and happy home?It's just that she didn't dare to hope for it at all.

The appearance of Fourth Master brought her life a sharp turn.

His various performances, everything he did for her, all let her clearly see his sincerity, firmness and persistence.

Especially after learning of all the unimaginable past events, she has been thinking and hesitating all the time, how to face him in the future, and how to deal with their relationship.

However, after hesitating for a long time, after hearing his answer at this moment, she finally decided to give it a try.

She doesn't know what the future will be like, but at least right now, he is really full of her heart and eyes, and he is really determined to hold her hand and walk on.

Such a person may never exist again in the future. If she doesn't give it a try, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

Life is short, the flowers can be broken when they bloom, and the branches will be broken when there are no flowers.

She was willing to give him a chance, and she also gave herself a chance.

Lin Jinyao has a temperament that dares to love and hate in her bones. Now that she has made up her mind, she will go on unswervingly.

It's no longer like in the past that Si Ye was only pitifully hot at one end. The love of three people is too crowded, the love of one is too tiring, and the love of only two is just right. If you just keep watching him pay by himself, No matter how deep the relationship is, it can't withstand such wear and tear, so although she is not in love with him right now, she will try her best to respond to him and open her heart to accept him.

And all of this is undoubtedly the clearest fourth master's own feelings, just like the rain after a long drought, not to mention the nourishment in the fourth master's heart, his whole body is full of infinite courage and strength, and he loves and spoils Lin Jinyao more and more up.

The relationship between the two is getting better and better, pink bubbles are filled every day, which makes the unlucky boy Jiu elder brother can't help but hold his cheeks and silently suffer from toothache, and then think that every time he sees himself, he is like a mouse seeing a cat Lin Daiyu...couldn't be more concerned.

Like a paradise, the lives of the few people in Zhuangzi were very peaceful and full of warmth, and they simply couldn't think of leaving, but some people outside were not in such a good mood.

"Prince Teng is dead."

Lin Jinyao raised the corners of her mouth high and raised the teacup in her hand, "It's really regrettable."

Fourth Master chuckled, and raised his teacup to touch her lightly, "It's really a pity."

But said that Prince Teng has been married for many years, and his family has many wives and concubines, but in the end he only had one daughter, named Wang Xiluan, whom he loves like a treasure.

Wang Ziteng is a good man, so he got on His Royal Highness's boat early on, and his own ability is indeed good, but he is also valued by the prince. Both parties want to deepen their relationship with each other. Queen Xiluan, who loves Wang, also participated in the small election, and the two parties had a tacit understanding, planning to arrange Wang Xiluan to the East Palace, and asked the prince to take over the house in the future.

But who would have guessed that people are not as good as heaven, and I don't know what went wrong, but Wang Xiluan did not go to the East Palace in the end, but was assigned to Concubine Hui, and was rewarded by Concubine Hui to the elder brother Yinyi rattle.

Now the elder brothers are not too old, but the relationship between the elder brother Yinfeng and the prince Yinfeng has begun to segregate. These two people are the elder and the other, but neither one is convinced by the other, and there is a bright pearl. With Suo'etu behind the scenes, the two camps often fight happily. Although they are not immortal enemies, the opposition is obvious.

Wang Ziteng was the prince's servant, but his beloved daughter became the elder brother's servant. This is simply a mess.

Of course the crown prince would not think that Wang Ziteng betrayed him. After all, his position as crown prince is still very secure, and no matter how capable he is, it is always difficult for a slave who betrays his master to gain the trust and reuse of his new master. As long as Teng is not stupid, he will never do such a self-destructive thing.

However, I believe him, I believe that after such a thing happened, the prince would not dare to reuse the prince no matter what, the love between father and daughter is thicker than water, otherwise they would not have thought of deepening their relationship through getting married .

But now Wang Ziteng's daughter who loves Ruozhibao has become Yinyi's woman, so how will he choose?And this matter was very strange, the prince suspected that it was Yinyi who moved his hands and feet in order to pry the prince over there. If this is the case, then Yinyi will definitely make good use of Wang Xiluan's pawn, in case Wang Xiluan And when she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, it was even more difficult to guarantee that Wang Ziteng would not be tempted.

Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

Now that suspicion has arisen in his heart, then Wang Ziteng's pawn is considered useless.

The prince didn't want to use him anymore, but it was absolutely impossible to allow Yinyi to pull him over. After thinking about it, the prince tried to find a way to promote Wang Ziteng and release him. He died within a few days.

Wang Ziteng was the pillar of the Wang family. Once he fell, the Wang family was doomed. After the clansmen panicked, they started a fierce battle over the ownership of the family property. Xishan's family is even worse.

When the news reached Jia's house, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue passed out with a howl on the spot, and Wang Xifeng also cried uncontrollably.

Regardless of Wang Ziteng's character, he really loves these two younger sisters and his niece Wang Xifeng. Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang dare to dominate her husband's family. Looking at Wang Ziteng, now that Wang Ziteng is down, there is no one to rely on in her natal family, and having a natal family means having no natal family, so how can she not be heartbroken.

Among the three, it was Mrs. Wang who was the first to recover, because her daughter became the imperial concubine, and she was her greatest support. Even though she lost her natal family, no one dared to belittle her.

So after recovering, Mrs. Wang devoted all her attention to the construction of the other courtyard.

After a lot of anticipation and anticipation, it finally came to the day when the concubine visited her relatives.

Early on, the Jia family and their masters and servants had been looking forward to it, and when Jia Yuanchun returned, they would inevitably hold hands and weep.

After doing homework, everyone went back to the luxurious garden. At Jia Yuanchun's suggestion, all the sisters in the family and Jia Baoyu wrote two poems, but they were quite interesting.

Jia Yuanchun focused on Xue Baochai's poems, and couldn't help but sighed at her talent, secretly thinking that although Xue Baochai came from a bad family background, she was very good-looking and talented, so it's no wonder that her mother wanted to make her her daughter-in-law.

But now that she is an imperial concubine, Baoyu, as the younger brother of her mother and compatriots, if she really married a merchant girl from a down-and-out family, it would be unsuitable. Besides, when others look at the scenery, only she knows How difficult her life in the palace is, if Baoyu can marry a noble daughter, it would be great to give her some help.

Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun shook his head when Mrs. Wang tested her tone.

"Sister Xue's family is certainly a very good girl, but Baoyu is not in the same family after all. If Baoyu can hire a noble girl from a high family, it would be great for Baoyu to have a capable Yue family to help Baoyu in the future."

Mrs. Wang was hesitant, "It's nice to be a noble girl, but how can it be as rich as Bao girl's dowry? Besides, if the daughter-in-law here is too high-born, how can I, a mother-in-law, hold back?" She In this life, I have been low-key in front of the old lady for decades, and the daughter-in-law who has finally survived for many years has become a mother-in-law. Do you want her to be angry with her daughter-in-law again?

"Mother is becoming more and more confused." Jia Yuanchun sighed: "Which is more important, power or money, do we need to ask? If mother really loves Baochai, she will be asked Baoyu to take her as the second wife in the future. It's a little wronged, as long as mother loves her."

"As for the mother's concern that Baoyu's daughter-in-law's background is too high, that's even more of a joke. After all, I'm also an imperial concubine. No matter how high the birth of Baoyu's daughter-in-law is, can she still make a difference?"

"That's true, my son is indeed the most capable." Mrs. Wang smiled very proudly.

Jia Yuanchun showed helplessness, and said: "Okay, Zuo Baoyu is still young now, let me take a closer look and talk about it, but mother must not make any casual promises to Xue's family, otherwise it will be difficult to explain in the future."

Mrs. Wang felt a little guilty when she heard the words. In order to ask for money from the Xue family, she did hint a lot, but she was not afraid. The daughter is the imperial concubine, no matter how dissatisfied the Xue family would dare to offend her?

"By the way, why didn't you see the brothers and sisters of the Lin family?"

"Don't mention it, ma'am, those little bastards are really disgusting!" Mrs. Wang still suffocated when she mentioned it, "At the beginning, the money in the house was not enough to build this garden, so the old lady asked the big guys to come together. Come on, who would have thought that those little brats from the Lin family ran to Prince Yu's mansion secretly without saying a word, for fear that others would borrow money from them."

"Prince Yu's Mansion? What is the relationship between the cousins ​​of the Lin family and Prince Yu's Mansion?" Jia Yuanchun was stunned.

Mrs. Wang curled her lips and said: "I heard that Prince Yu and Lin Ruhai have a close relationship, I don't know if it's true or not, but Prince Yu's mansion really cares about those three little bastards, unexpectedly people come to see them off every month There are few things, and some of them are high-quality tributes, those three little brats are really lucky."

"Really?" Jia Yuanchun's eyes lit up suddenly, he thought for a moment, and said: "Mother, listen to my advice, don't offend the cousins ​​of the Lin family in the future, if possible, I really hope that mother can get along well with them .”

"What? Impossible! There is no way in my life that I will be with that bastard Jia Min!"

"Mother! Although the harem is not allowed to do politics, the harem and the former dynasty have always been closely connected. If the children in the family are more promising, why have I been in the palace so far? There is no one to rely on, but among the relatives, only Uncle Lin has some skills, and they are backed by Prince Yu's mansion, who is a virtuous king who is deeply favored by the Holy One! Mother, you can only be friends with the Lin family, not enemies! "

Mrs. Wang's expression was as if she had swallowed a fly alive, but she finally gritted her teeth and agreed to her daughter's pleading with tears in her eyes. She must be good to those little bastards!

The time to get together is always short, and soon the eunuchs began to urge them to return to the palace. No matter how reluctant they were, everyone could only bid farewell with tears in their eyes. The huge Grand View Garden cost countless manpower and financial resources, but it only stopped the nobleman for a while. It's a pity.

After visiting relatives, the Lin family siblings returned to the Jia family.

In addition, Jia Yuanchun thought that the Grand View Garden would be closed after his luck, and he dared not let people in to disturb him. It was too lonely to think about it, so he ordered the eunuch to come to the Rong Mansion to issue an edict, ordering all the sisters, Jia Baoyu and Lin Jinjun to move into the garden together. live in.

After receiving this order, Mother Jia arranged for everyone to choose the courtyard they liked. In the end, Xue Baochai lived in Hengwuyuan, Jia Yingchun lived in Zhuijinlou, Tanchun lived in Qiushuangzhai, Xichun lived in Liaofengxuan, Mrs. Li lives in Daoxiang Village, and Baoyu lives in Yihong Courtyard.

The third sister and younger brother of the Lin family politely refused, they only thought that Ningxiang Courtyard was very good and they were used to it, so they didn't bother to move.

Mother Jia tried to persuade her twice, but Lin Jinyao still declined with a smile, but the old lady had no choice but to let them go.

For this, Jia Baoyu, who has recovered his temperament, was quite unhappy. He originally wanted to leave his Xiaoxiang Pavilion next to the Yihong Courtyard to the Lin family sisters, so that they could live nearer so that they could be more intimate in the future. I don't appreciate it, it's very frustrating.

But Jia Baoyu was originally a passionate seed. I saw that all the sisters in the Grand View Garden were together every day, reading, writing, playing the piano and playing chess, painting and reciting poems, even depicting luan and phoenix, fighting grass and hairpin flowers, singing softly , Guessing the words, doing everything, he is as happy and content as the mouse that fell into the rice vat, and he only wished that he could live like this for the rest of his life to be happy.

The three brothers and sisters of the Lin family looked on coldly, but they couldn't help feeling cold in their hearts.

Even though the sisters are young and ignorant, are Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Jia Yuanchun and others really so confused?Whose big brothers and sisters still sit and lie together every day, laughing and cursing wantonly?Do you still want the reputation of the girl's family?If word of this got out, which good family would still hire such a girl?

How can they not think of things that anyone with a discerning eye can think of?It's just that they don't care about it, because Jia Baoyu likes to be with all the sisters, and they are afraid of leaving him alone and calling him crazy. What's the deal?

I'm afraid that in the eyes of these people, these girls are just something to entertain Jia Baoyu.

But he said that Jia Baoyu felt a little uncomfortable after drinking too much wine that day, so he lay down and asked Caixia to pat him gently. His eyes only looked at Jia Huan.

Jia Baoyu is used to being praised by girls, but Jia Huan is always hated by others. Seeing this situation now, he couldn't help feeling unhappy, so he took Caixia's hand and said with a smile, "good sister, take care of me too." Woolen cloth."

Caixia snatched back her hand and said, "If you make trouble again, I will yell."

Jia Huan usually hated Jia Baoyu the most, now seeing him and Caixia, the evil fire in his heart became more and more intense, so he intentionally missed and pushed an oily wax lamp on Jia Baoyu's face, only to secretly feel hot. Just blind his eyes.

Jia Baoyu immediately cried out in pain, "Ouch", which only made everyone jump. Seeing his appearance, Mrs. Wang was furious, pointing at Aunt Zhao and yelling: "It's a shame to raise such a vile and unreasonable seed. I don't care about it! I don't argue about it a few times, but you guys are getting better and better!"

When everyone saw Jia Baoyu's pretty face covered with blisters, they couldn't help feeling distressed. They walked around him back and forth, cleaning, applying medicine and comforting him. They were really precious.

But I didn't expect that a few days after this incident, something happened again.

Jia Baoyu had a headache and wanted to die, Wang Xifeng rushed into the garden with a big knife like crazy, killing chickens when he saw chickens, dogs when he saw dogs, and killing people when he saw people, scaring everyone.

After finally subduing Wang Xifeng, they were moved together with Jia Baoyu to Mrs. Wang's room, where a group of servants were arranged to guard in turn.

The house was full of commotion, everyone's eyes were focused on Mrs. Wang's room, but Ningxiang Courtyard was eerily peaceful.

"Have you got the things?" Lin Jinyao asked softly.

The man in black standing aside respectfully replied: "Yes."

"Get ready carefully, they're coming soon."

"Yes, master, don't worry. The fourth master asked the slave to tell the master to be careful. It would be best if you avoid it for two days."

Lin Jinyao curled her mouth when she heard the words, looked at the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist, and smiled.

With him here, what is there to be afraid of?
