The Forest of Red Mansions

"Er Niang." Fourth Master's complexion was slightly gloomy, and he seemed to be a little displeased.

The imperial concubine glanced at him, took the teacup from Lin Jinyao's hand and touched her lips. According to the rules, she also gave him a reward. It was a small wooden box that looked rather inconspicuous, and she didn't know what was inside.

Although the daughter-in-law had drunk her tea, the imperial concubine still didn't ask her to get up, so Lin Jinyao had no choice but to continue kneeling.

The imperial concubine cleared her throat, and said calmly: "Since you have married in and become the fourth son's wife, I hope you can also afford this status. The royal family is different from ordinary people. As the royal daughter-in-law, you have to say a word There are countless pairs of eyes staring at me, no matter how you were at home in the past, I just remember not to act recklessly in the future, if I ask you to know what you have done that is disgraceful, I will not spare you."

"One more thing, the fourth brother is not young anymore. The first few elder brothers were all Amas when they were his age. Although now that you are married, I have hope, but after all, the fourth brother will serve you in front of me. There are still too few people, you, as a Fujin, should make arrangements to open up branches and leaves for the fourth child as soon as possible."

Doesn't this mean to ask her to take a concubine for fourth master and let him have more children with other women.

Hearing such words on the first day of their wedding, Lin Jinyao couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't refute clearly, so she could only lower her eyebrows and say respectfully: "Daughter-in-law, always remember my mother's teachings."

Seeing this, the imperial concubine nodded in satisfaction, and said: "It's reasonable. Forget it, you're new here, and when you think about it, there are not many people who can handle you. Today, I will reward you two."

After the words fell, two court ladies came out. Their looks were not very good, but they were also pretty and pleasant. The most important thing is that both of them have big breasts. Fat hips, which is what people often say nowadays The kind of woman who is easy to give birth to.

The imperial concubine smiled lightly: "Go to see Si Fujin."

The two palace maids took two steps forward as they said, and bowed respectfully to Lin Jinyao, "My servant pays homage to Si Fujin."

He said that he was serving her, Fujin, but all fools knew that this person was prepared by the fourth master.

Now, no matter how calm Lin Jinyao was, she couldn't help but change her face.

Even though she was ready to be surrounded by Emperor Kangxi and concubine De, before getting married, but this happened on the first day of the wedding, but no one can accept such a thing, this is clearly Slapping her in the face!

By doing this, the imperial concubine was clearly telling others that this Sifu Jin, her mother-in-law, didn't like it, and even hated it!

"Emiang!" The fourth master's face became darker, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Fu Jin has enough people to serve in front of him, but he is just an elder brother, Fujin, how can he have the right to put on such a big show, right now Fujin is first-class, second-class and third-class When all the maids are here, if there is no room for these two, I'm afraid I will disappoint Er Niang's good intentions."

"It's getting late, and my son still has to take Fujin to the Yonghe Palace, so I'm leaving first, and I'll come back tomorrow to say hello to Er Niang." After saying that, he bowed and left with Lin Jinyao.

There was a crackling sound of porcelain shattering behind him, accompanied by the angry and sharp curse of the imperial concubine.

"Look, look, look, I really forgot my mother after marrying a daughter-in-law! This palace is just bestowing two servants. Concubine Yi, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Rong have never bestowed maids on their sons. Why can't they do what this palace can do? , it’s really not my own, so I can’t take this mother-in-law of this palace seriously!"

"I just came to this palace and didn't have time to catch my breath, so I was anxious to go to my mother's place. This palace really helped Concubine De to raise a good son!"

"Fourth Master..." Lin Jinyao looked at him with some anxiety, is it really okay for the imperial concubine to be so angry?

Fourth Master shook his head lightly, didn't say anything, just walked all the way towards Yonghe Palace with a sullen face.

Concubine De didn't want to see the fourth son, she always treated him indifferently and indifferently, but she was very affectionate to Lin Jinyao, she gave him a generous reward on the spot, and she still refused to let him go. When holding her hand, she was full of care and concern. She was really a caring and considerate mother-in-law.

Lin Jinyao also played the role of a well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law patiently, and the atmosphere in the Yonghe Palace was harmonious for a while.

When the meal was delivered at noon, Concubine De specially kept the husband and wife to eat together.

Lin Jinyao glanced at Fourth Master, seeing that he did not refuse, she nodded obediently, and agreed with a smile.

As soon as the three of them sat down, they saw the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen rushing in like a small cannonball, "Er Niang Er Niang, give me a meal, I'm starving to death!"

"What nonsense, what nonsense!" Concubine De laughed and scolded, seeing that his head was sweating profusely, she took her own handkerchief and wiped him off, and said angrily, "Why is this time here? What are you doing?" If you are sweating profusely, go in quickly and ask the maid to wipe the sweat off your body, and be careful not to catch the cold."

Yinzhen was full of displeasure, and sat down directly, "My son's body has always been as strong as a cow, how could he be sick? Don't bother, let me fill my stomach first, after half a day of class I’m already so hungry that my chest is stuck to my back.”

Hearing this, Concubine De also felt distressed, and hurriedly asked the maid to serve an extra bowl of rice, while she herself served her son with soup and vegetables, and at the same time repeatedly asked him to eat slowly so that he would not choke. I still remember that there was an older son next to me.

Lin Jinyao glanced at her fourth master cautiously, with a little worry and distress in her eyes, and her repulsion and disgust towards Concubine De became more and more in her heart.

Ever since Fourth Master entered the Yonghe Palace, she has never looked at him directly, let alone a word of concern, but she is very caring and considerate for the little son Shisi, and the love and pampering in her eyes are almost overflowing coming.

Such a contrast made even a bystander like her feel chilled. How did fourth master feel in his heart?

Lin Jinyao felt that it was really difficult for her fourth master. The adoptive mother was not worried, and the biological mother was even worse. These days are too troublesome!

The fourth master was silently counting the rice grains in the bowl with his head down. He felt his little daughter-in-law's burning gaze, and when he raised his head, he saw her worried and distressed face.

The couple left soon after having a bad meal in the Yonghe Palace. They got a lot of good things after turning around in the morning, so it was hard to comfort them a bit.

Back at elder brother's place, Lin Jinyao casually opened the reward from the imperial concubine, thinking that with the attitude of the imperial concubine towards her, she would not reward her with any good things, but Lin Jinyao was stunned for a moment.

Inside the box lay a piece of crystal clear jade pendant, carved into the shape of a pair of winged birds, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, it can be called uncanny workmanship, and when you touch it in your hand, you can feel a little bit of warmth.

The three brothers and sisters of the Lin family were all afraid of the cold, so in the early years Lin Ruhai wanted to find some warm jade for them to wear next to their bodies, but this warm jade is extremely rare, and they have not been able to find a piece for so many years.

It is an extremely precious warm jade, coupled with this superb craftsmanship, it is not an exaggeration to say that this jade pendant is priceless.

Lin Jinyao was very surprised, and even wondered if the maid beside the imperial concubine took the wrong thing, otherwise how could the imperial concubine give her such a precious thing?

At this time, the fourth master reached out and took the jade pendant, waved all the palace people out, and said: "This jade pendant was given to Erniang when she first entered the palace, and it symbolizes what you It should be very clear, so Erniang has cherished this jade pendant for so many years, wearing it next to her body every day, and would not let anyone touch it easily, and then..."

"Some things happened later, Er Niang took off this jade pendant and put it away carefully. I have never seen this jade pendant again since then. I never thought that she would give it to you today."

Lin Jinyao was stunned, "This jade pendant still has such a history? Why did the imperial concubine give it to me? Maybe the servants at the bottom took the wrong thing, I think I should send it back quickly, lest the imperial concubine miss it later Anxious."

Wish to be a winged bird in the sky, and even a branch in the ground.

It is obvious what Kangxi wanted to express with the jade pendant sent to the imperial concubine. Even if something happened later that made the imperial concubine cold-hearted and put away the jade pendant, the meaning of this jade pendant to the imperial concubine is absolutely different. Give it away easily?Or give her this unpleasant daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the fourth master laughed when he heard the words, "Which of the people serving in front of Erniang doesn't know how much Erniang attaches importance to this jade pendant? No matter how careless a person is, he would never dare to make such a mistake. Just rest assured Just keep it, this thing was given to you by Er Niang."

"But... doesn't the imperial concubine hate me very much?"

"Er Niang doesn't hate you, on the contrary, Er Niang actually likes you very much." The fourth master sighed and said, "Er Niang never really thought of pointing out her niece to me as Fujin, but that Miss Tong's family happened to catch up, so she used it as an excuse."

Lin Jinyao was completely stupid.

"The Tong family has become more and more restless in recent years, and Huang Ama is naturally more and more uneasy. Huang Ama is worried that I will get mixed up with the Tong family, and that I will be upset by the Tong family. In recent years, Huang Ama has increasingly regretted adopting me to Emiang."

"With Erniang's relationship, the Tong family and I will not be able to break up cleanly. The more the Tong family jumps up and down, the more Huang Ama will be more guarded against me. Once Huang Ama's patience runs out, I am afraid that I will find someone at random. This is an excuse to abandon my son. But Er Niang can't sever ties with the Tong family, so we can only turn our mother and son against each other."

"Erniang had been thinking about finding a reason to turn against me in a logical way, but it happened that the Tong family bumped into each other again, so Erniang simply used my marriage to make a fuss... and thus the current trouble normal situation."

"The reason why Er Niang makes things difficult for you is firstly because you ruined her good deeds, she should naturally hate you, secondly, she wants to use you as a raft, which makes the relationship between our mother and son more tense and bad, and thirdly , also for your consideration."

"Emiang and Empress Defei have always been jealous when they meet each other, but if one person likes it, the other will definitely hate it, and in the same way, if one person hates it, the other person will also like it, even if it's just a superficial liking. The more Er Niang hates you, the more Empress De Concubine will love you, the more Er Niang makes things difficult for you, the better Empress De Concubine will treat you, this should also be seen from the few times you have been in contact with Empress De Concubine. "

"One adoptive mother and one biological mother, it's not only difficult for me as a son to be caught in the middle, it's even more difficult for you as a daughter-in-law. Er Niang was actually worried that you would not be able to handle the concubine De, so she tried her best to act like she hated you. After all, the relationship between the two of them The relationship between them has long been so bad that it is absolutely irreconcilable, you can only choose one of them, and it is absolutely impossible to have both sides, if you please in front of Er Niang, you should suffer in front of Empress De Fei."

"Now this is the best way for the time being. After all, Erniang doesn't really hate you. No matter how hard she makes things difficult for you, it's just a face. If it's Defei Empress... then it's really troublesome."

Hearing this, Lin Jinyao was stunned for a long time before she let out a long sigh, "Poor parents all over the world."

The imperial concubine is so desperately trying to be a monster, how good is her reputation outside?I don't know how many people are secretly laughing at her stupidity. Although Kangxi is very happy to see the imperial concubine and the fourth master's mother and son turning against each other, Kangxi must be extremely disgusted and dissatisfied with the behavior of the imperial concubine.

This is tantamount to sacrificing the imperial concubine and breaking the siege between the husband and wife. It is not easy for an adoptive mother to do this. The indifference and ruthlessness of Concubine De to Fourth Master is even more touching.

The author has something to say: It’s too late... This chapter is on the 10th, and the normal update on the 11th/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Originally, I wanted to code a long time ago, but when I accidentally took a look, I suddenly found that the house was dirty and messy. The more I looked at it, the more I couldn't bear it, so I decided to do a big cleaning, and even cleaned the toilet several times_( :зゝ∠)_After finally cleaning up the house, it looked pleasing to the eye, and Modan started to have diarrhea again [I still drank a cup of Star Daddy today, but the stupid author has lactose intolerance, so every time I drink it, I will pull it out decisively. But I still can’t control my mouth] Well, the tragedy was made by myself, so it’s not worthy of sympathy ╮(╯▽╰)╭ I saw that it was getting late and it was too late to update, so I just wanted to take a break earlier, but after thinking about it , It was only broken for two days before, and I came again today... I feel a little guilty, so I still typed honestly, although it is a bit late┭┮﹏┭┮
