The Forest of Red Mansions

The men in the front yard were fighting openly and secretly, but the women in the backyard were not very peaceful.

The battle between Yinfeng and Yinfeng became more and more fierce, and the tension between Dafujin and the princess was naturally more and more tense. In the past two years, every time they get together, they always have to say a few words to each other. As the saying goes, "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother", but in this royal family, although Da Fujin is the eldest sister-in-law, she always looks down on the princess and concubine, and has to salute to her sister-in-law every time she sees her.

In addition, the third child has always been a little eager to move. His Fujin Dong E's family, Da Fujin and the princess concubine can't help but mean that they are enemies and not friends, but like her third child, although these two couples are a little cautious , but he didn't have much guts, the youngest in the previous dynasty didn't dare to confront the boss and the crown prince head-on, and the Dong E family didn't dare to confront the Dafujin or the crown princess in the future, that is, they often took advantage of those two to confront each other. Sometimes I rub it secretly to make it worse, add some oil to the fire here, and sometimes force others to pull it in together.

The one who suffered the most was Lin Jinyao. Who made her a man capable of being missed by others? In fact, she was also "missed" by others. After being married for such a long time, there was no other woman in the backyard except her. , the side Fujin is nowhere to be seen, not to mention how clean it is, it's not like the smoky backyard of other people's houses full of blooming flowers.

Everyone is the same as usual, no one should laugh at anyone, but now that she is such an outlier, compared with this, which of these sisters-in-law is not a little envious?Among them, Sanfu Jin Dong E's family is the most, who told her man to be so upset, those little fairies in the mansion are going to turn the world upside down, it's not because they are so envious and jealous.

Therefore, even though the third child repeatedly told her to have a good relationship with Lin Jinyao, she herself knew that she should not target him, but every time she saw Lin Jinyao's blissful face with red eyes and brows, she compared herself again. With a face like that of a boudoir, she couldn't help but feel jealous, and when she spoke, she seemed a little bit stingy and thorny.

Let's say how bad she is, but it's really not necessarily so, after all, she is only so courageous, even if she has a wicked heart, she is not so courageous, but she is not bad enough, but she is very disgusting, so she jumped on that toad. Toad. Like a vamp, it doesn't bite and disgust people, it's really annoying and helpless.

What made Lin Jinyao even more depressed was that Guo Luoluo finally finished his punishment and was released.

I copied the Buddhist scriptures for several months, but I was stunned that I hadn't been influenced at all. On the contrary, my whole person became more and more gloomy, with gloomy eyes, and hostility all over my body, occasionally glancing at Lin Jinyao's face Belly, that smile is very weird, not to mention how creepy, a cold breath penetrates directly into the cracks in human bones.

Lin Jinyao felt very uneasy about this, she stayed far away from Guo Luoluo's family during the whole dinner, and never left her maidservant by her side.

It would be fine if she was the only one, but Guo Luoluo would beat her to death with a whip every minute if she dared to play tricks, but right now she still has a baby in her stomach, how would she dare to bet?Counseling, just be cowardly, if you are still stupid and boldly move forward, don't blame others if something happens, just die stupid yourself.

Because of Guo Luoluo's family, Lin Jinyao's nerves were tense all night. Fortunately, there was no accident, and that Guo Luoluo's family was unexpectedly peaceful.

However, Lin Jinyao never breathed a sigh of relief about this, on the contrary, she became more and more worried. She felt that Guo Luoluo was holding back some big moves, but after much deliberation, she couldn't figure it out for a while. Where did Guo Luoluo's hatred for her come from?

After finally surviving the banquet and sending all the guests away, Lin Jinyao was physically and mentally exhausted. She was carried back to the room by the maid and leaned on the kang, quietly waiting for Fourth Master.

And the fourth master sent a group of brothers out, turned around and immediately asked his wife, "Where's Fujin?"

"Master Hui, Fujin has already returned to his room."

"Did any trouble happen later today? Is Fujin okay?"

"Except for San Fujin saying some harsh words to Fujin, nothing went wrong. Fujin seems a little tired."

The fourth master raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the words, Guo Luoluo's family is so peaceful today?

"Master, the hangover soup is ready, do you think it will be delivered directly to Fujin's courtyard?"

Fourth Master frowned, smelling the strong and pungent smell of alcohol on his body, "Don't, send it to the nearby courtyard with the hot water, you go and tell Fujin."

"Yes, the slave will do it now."

Today, as the birthday star, Si Ye was inevitably drunk by his brothers, and he was already slightly drunk. After drinking the hangover soup, he felt a little better, but after soaking it in hot water, he became drowsy again .

Suddenly, the door opened, thought it was the eunuch who was adding hot water, Fourth Master didn't care, but a strange fragrance came from behind, accompanied by a pair of tender little hands caressing his shoulders.

"Master, let the servants come and wait for you to take a bath." The charming voice was full of seductive charm, which made people's bones crisp.

Fourth Master's face darkened immediately, he knocked off the little hand on his shoulder with a wave of his arm, and said angrily, "Who told you to come in? Get out!"

"Master..." The girl staggered from the beating and almost fell, she couldn't help looking at fourth master with tears in her beautiful eyes, as if there were hooks in her eyes, "Master, this servant just wants to serve you. "

At this time, fourth master suddenly felt his lower abdomen burning hot, with an unspeakable urge.

The person who was playing around in the palace when he was young didn't know what happened, it was clearly a trick!

Thinking of the strange fragrance that he smelt just now, Fourth Master's face became even darker, "Bitch!" He reached out and grabbed the clothes on the side, put it on, stood up and stepped out of the bathtub, the woman twisted when she saw this. The waist of the water snake was about to move upwards, causing Fourth Master to kick him over.

The woman screamed "Ah" immediately, fell to the ground clutching her stomach and couldn't get up for a while.

"Master? What happened?" Someone outside immediately asked nervously.

"Get out of here!"

As soon as the eunuchs entered the room and saw this situation, their faces turned pale instantly, their legs softened, and they knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Fourth Master suppressed the impulse in his body and the anger in his heart, and said, "Explain."

"Master, please forgive me. She said that Fujin asked her to serve him..."

When Fujin is pregnant, it's normal to arrange the maids around him to serve the men, how could they doubt it, no one would have thought that someone would be so bold as to use Fujin as a cover to climb into the men's bed.

"Idiot!" The fourth master cursed angrily, unable to suppress the impulse in his body, so he stopped wasting words and said directly: "Drag this bitch to the master, and kill him with a stick! You guys, every time I'll go and get the [-] boards, and when I recover from my wounds, I'll sweep the floor for you, I can't afford you idiots!" After saying that, he lifted his foot and wanted to leave.

Who would have thought that woman would cry out loudly: "Master, please forgive me! This servant belongs to the Concubine De, and it was the Concubine De who asked the servant to serve the Lord!"

Fourth master paused, then strode away, "Stand dead!" The voice was cold and decisive.

In the courtyard next door, when Lin Jinyao heard that there was a maid going to seduce the fourth master, her face turned green immediately. Just as she was about to go out angrily, she saw the fourth master coming in a hurry, with a strange flush on her face.

Lin Jinyao thumped in her heart, could this be a trick?

"Father..."

As soon as the fourth master grasped her hand and was about to walk inside, Sai Han said worriedly: "Master, Fujin's belly..." Although it has been three months now that she can have intercourse occasionally, but the drugged How can a man be as sensible and measured as usual?Who knows how many times this night will be tossed?In case... It's really not a joke.

The fourth master was taken aback, looked at Lin Jinyao's stomach, and was a little discouraged, "Forget it, go and fetch some buckets of cold water for the master to soak in." Beads of sweat were already appearing on his face, obviously enduring it extremely hard.

Nanny Saihan frowned when she heard the words, and said: "How can you soak in cold water in this season? I can't treat my body like this." After finishing speaking, she looked at Lin Jinyao with a look of embarrassment on her face, "Fu Jin, it's better..." Your body needs to be tight."

Lin Jinyao naturally knew what she meant, it was nothing more than suggesting that she arrange a woman for Fourth Master.

Subconsciously glanced at the maidservants in the room, a few of them were indeed surprised and eager to try, and couldn't help feeling annoyed and overwhelmed, this is her man, why should he give it to others!quit!Don't do it!

Before he could speak in the future, Fourth Master said: "No need, step back and fetch two buckets of cold water!" His voice was already hoarse, but his tone was extremely firm and could not be refuted.

Nanny Saihan took a look at the two couples, sighed, said nothing more, turned around and was about to leave, saw a few maids who seemed to be reluctant to part, and their eyes were still full of reluctance. He glanced at those people coldly and snorted coldly.

When I got outside, I gave the group of maids a lesson, and said: "If you are a slave, you must remember your duty as a slave. It is what you should do to serve your master well. Don't think about things you shouldn't worry about, and don't worry about them." See if you are worthy or not, be careful, your heart is higher than the sky, your life is thinner than paper! Fujin is kind-hearted, but I am not a kind person. If anyone dares to betray the Lord, just see if I can kill you! And don't be so naive as to think that everything will be fine if you succeed in your calculation and ascend to the sky in one step. Mommy, I have stayed in the palace for half my life. I don't know how he died, if anyone wants to try, just be a demon!"

Nanny Shan was also helping out, and when the old nanny's aura was shown, all the little maids were so frightened that their faces were pale, and they dared not speak straight with their heads down.

They are also maids from the palace. Who doesn't know how powerful the privacy methods in the palace are?Even though I have never seen it before, I have heard a lot of it. It is true that people can kill people without seeing blood, and they can't survive. Just listening to it makes my heart tremble with fright. These two old mothers are both Those who have stayed in the palace for decades must have endless means, who would dare to mess with it?

Nanny Saihan looked at these shivering little girls with cold eyes, and paid special attention to the few who were a little restless in the room just now, and kept their faces firmly in mind, and only waited until tomorrow to report to Fujin and ask Fujin to send her down .

After sending away a group of maids, only one Zhihua was left behind.

Nanny Saihan looked at her delicate little face with cold eyes, as if she wanted to penetrate her whole body.

"Nurse..." Zhihua's face turned pale, feeling a little guilty.

"Do you know why I asked you to stay?"

"No...I don't know..."

"Huh." Nanny Saihan snorted heavily, full of dissatisfaction and anger, "I know what you are thinking in my heart, and you don't care if you admit it or not, as long as you touch your conscience, you can't sleep at night." Still sleeping soundly?"

"You are the dowry girl brought by Fujin. You have been with Fujin since childhood. After so many years of friendship, how does Fujin treat you? You also have a steelyard in your heart. The girls Fujin trusts most are the four of you, but now you have such a shame." Human thoughts, are you worthy of Fujin's trust? Are you worthy of the Lin family's kindness to you for so many years?"

"You have to rely on your conscience! Think about it yourself, I will truthfully report this matter to Fujin."

After finishing speaking, Nanny Saihan and Nanny Shan left, and Tuliu Zhihua stood there alone, his eyes red from crying.

If you want to say who knows the relationship between Fourth Master and Lin Jinyao the most, the four girls of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are definitely one of them.

From the time when she was still under the family of Jia's mansion, to now she finally got married, Zhihua accompanied Lin Jinyao all the way, she saw how much the fourth master loved and doted on Lin Jinyao, everything in her eyes.

Which girl is not pregnant?Teenage girls, who hasn't thought about what kind of person their future husband will be?Who doesn't long for a man who loves himself to the bone?After Lin Jinyao came over as a dowry, seeing fourth master's every kind of care and love for Lin Jinyao every day, her heart couldn't help but float more and more, and she felt indescribably envious.

She never thought of climbing into Fourth Master's bed, but her eyes began to follow Fourth Master more and more uncontrollably. She never thought of betrayal, but in fact, she had already betrayed since she had such thoughts for Fourth Master. She lost her master, the girl she grew up with.

……

"Master, do you really want to soak in cold water?" Lin Jinyao reached out and touched the water in the bucket. It was icy cold, and her whole face wrinkled immediately, "It's too cold, you'll get sick."

"It's not a problem, it's nothing more than a few bowls of medicine." The fourth master couldn't care less about anything else, he had already reached the limit of his patience, his whole body was burning, the swelling was even more painful, and his mind was already dizzy and not very clear. , almost couldn't restrain herself several times and threw her down.

Her stomach can't stand his messing around.

Taking advantage of the fact that he still had a sliver of sanity, he immediately stripped off his clothes in twos and threes, and was about to dive into the bathtub.

Lin Jinyao hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a blushing face, "Let me try it for you first..." As for men and women, there are many other tricks besides real guns and live ammunition.

Lin Jinyao's face turned even redder when she recalled the "Little People's Book" that she had read while hiding under the covers with Fourth Master.

Until now, apart from the normal love, and she used her hands to relieve him in the early stages of pregnancy, she has never tried any other tricks, and she always feels embarrassed and can't let go. Today...seeing how determined he is For the sake of defending her own chastity, she... she also went all out!

After one night, Fourth Master was refreshed and radiant. Lin Jinyao... blushed like a monkey's buttocks. When she met Fourth Master's eyes, she couldn't help but tuck her head into the quilt.

Fourth Master pulled back the quilt funny, hugged her into his arms and kissed her, "Okay, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, we are husband and wife, these are not all normal things."

Lin Jinyao just buried her head in his arms and didn't come out. Just thinking about the absurdity of last night, she felt as if her whole body was on fire.

Last night, she was supposed to help him relieve it, but she became more and more sensitive after she was pregnant. In the end, she helped him relieve half of it, and she wanted it too. Well, in the end he actually... unexpectedly... really shameful!

"My lord is too bad..." Lin Jinyao said coquettishly.

"Huh? I forgot, who kept calling me a good husband last night, saying..."

"Don't say it!" Lin Jinyao hurriedly covered his mouth, her face was flushed with shame and annoyance, "Master is a big villain, he used to bully me."

Those eyes are really romantic, charming and lingering, which only makes people's heart itchy.

Fourth Master couldn't help being a little impulsive again, and licked her palm suggestively.

At this moment, Su Peisheng outside urged him to go to court.

Fourth master sighed, smiled wryly and left Ruanrouxiang.

"Take a rest, it's still early, if you're hungry, ask someone to get you something to eat, and go back to sleep after eating, don't be lazy and starve." Fourth Master kept telling him while putting on his clothes.

"My lord is getting more and more verbose. The good brother Bingshan has become an old lady." Although he complained like this, the smile and sweetness in his tone can also be heard by a fool.

Fourth Master laughed and scolded, "Little heartless."

After seeing fourth master off, Lin Jinyao hugged the quilt and fell asleep again. When she woke up again, it was already high in the sun.

After dinner, Nanny Saihan came in, "Fu Jin, I have something to report."

Lin Jinyao understood, and sent out all the maids serving in front of her, without noticing Zhihua's pale face.

"What's the matter Mammy?"

Nanny Saihan told Lin Jinyao the truth about her discovery, and carefully watched her face while talking, just for fear that she would not be able to bear the stimulation, but this matter could not be delayed, knowing that that girl was her personal eldest One of the servant girls, if that girl really moves something that shouldn't be done, then it will be impossible to guard against, and then there will be no time to regret it.

So after much deliberation, Nanny Saihan decided to cut the mess quickly.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jinyao never showed much excitement after hearing this, her face was surprisingly calm, her eyes were dark and sad.

In fact, she had expected this kind of thing a long time ago. Those girls are all teenage girls, just at the time when the spring heart is sprouting, and the fourth master is such an excellent man, with noble status, handsome appearance, and imposing manner. Yes, the fourth master's affection for her is really precious, and those sisters-in-law who have only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg are envious and jealous, let alone these personal girls who know the relationship between her and fourth master very well?

It's not surprising that a young girl with a spring heart would fall in love with fourth master, but it still hurts her heart in the end.

The four girls of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are no better than others. They have been serving her since they were young. After all, it has been ten years since they were young, and they have been in love for ten years.

Lin Jinyao couldn't help being a little disappointed, she was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Have you trained the girl who was taught by the mother earlier?"

Nanny Saihan replied: "You can serve the master now."

"So let's bring them up. The four girls in Qinqi, calligraphy and painting are all three or four years older than me. Originally, I thought it was time to let them out to marry. Even a good girl can't serve her all her life. People, give them some dowry and help them choose a good family, which can be regarded as the love of master and servant for so many years."

"Fujin is merciful." Sister Saihan sighed.

Lin Jinyao waved her hands listlessly, "Mommy, go and call those four girls in."

After the four maids came in, Lin Jinyao directly told her plan. For a while, several people were shocked and kowtowed and wished to serve the master for the rest of their lives. Zhihua even burst into tears immediately, but she couldn't say anything. Clearly, the master will never keep her by his side no matter what.

"You don't have to do this." Lin Jinyao sighed, "Slaves can't help themselves, life and death are up to others, so what is a good way out? Except for those big-hearted ones, which other slaves don't expect the master to reward you?" Let the grace go? I know it in my heart, and you don’t have to be afraid of this or that and dare not respond, I really want to arrange a good way out for you.”

"The four of you have served me for many years, and you have always been diligent and diligent. Naturally, I will not treat you badly. At that time, each of you will have a dowry, which is not much, but it will be enough for you to eat and drink for the rest of your life. Although you can't marry a rich family, The stewards and shopkeepers of the Zhuangzi shops under my hands are not bad, and even the guards around the fourth master can be matched. If they have that ability, it is not a bad idea to be picked up by the fourth master in the future for an official position. "

"No matter what, it may not be possible to be rich and powerful in the future, but the little rich will be safe and still have not escaped. What do you think?"

The four of them looked at each other in dismay, feeling a little moved in their hearts. Just looking at Lin Jinyao, they still felt a little bit inseparable in their hearts, and hesitated for a while.

Lin Jinyao also saw their thoughts, and said: "There is always a banquet in the world. You have served me for ten years, and it is enough. Now it is time to plan for yourself. Besides, you can do it when you are free in the future." Come and see me, talk to me, if I don’t step out of this door, I won’t recognize you.”

"You already know what I think, now I just ask you, do you have a plan in mind? If so, tell me now, so that I don't mess up the mandarin ducks, if not, then I will directly make decisions for you .”

They all blushed and said coyly: "It's all up to Fujin to make the decision."

Zhi Hua cried uncontrollably, for Lin Jinyao's arrangement, she didn't show any repulsion or dissatisfaction on her face, she just couldn't hide her shame and uneasiness.

Seeing this situation, Lin Jinyao felt a little better. Although she was moved, she never lost her conscience.

"Okay, let's go back first, and I will tell you when I have news."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

"The Fujin committee is really kind-hearted." Nanny Saihan shook her head helplessly, paused, and said with some hesitation: "There is one more thing..."

"Mammy, please tell me."

"Fu Jin's body has been around for quite a while, but beside my master... the servants know what Fujin is thinking, and also know what the master is thinking. It's just that the rules are like this, but no one can escape." Sai Han looked at her with some pity. Looking at her, she said softly: "The imperial concubine is a good-natured concubine, she loves Fujin the most, and she couldn't bear to make things difficult for Fujin, so she never took the initiative to mention the matter of taking concubines, but Fujin must not forget, except for Fujin The Imperial Concubine, but there is also a Virtuous Concubine."

"Last night, that woman belonged to Empress Defei. Now that she is gone, I am afraid that Empress Defei will not let it go. Eight or nine times out of ten, she will use the topic to catch Fujin's pigtails and make a fuss. She really made a fuss." Stabbed to the emperor and the empress dowager, Fujin was scolded for being petty, if he really wanted to arouse the dissatisfaction and disgust of those two, then it would be a big deal, this woman, the most taboo thing is 'envy' [-] In other words, anyone who makes such an impression will definitely not be able to please."

"The meaning of the servant girl is that it is better for Fujin to take the initiative to promote two people to the top, and complete the superficial skills, so as to block the mouths of outsiders, so as to save people from grabbing the pigtails and causing a reprimand or even disgust. In the end, it is inevitable to be given from above."

"After all, a man's mind is the most important thing. If a man doesn't have that mind, he won't even bother to open his mouth when you send someone to his mouth. On the contrary, once a man has a heart, no matter how strict a woman is, she will always be able to defend him." Try to steal a mouthful."

Lin Jinyao naturally understands this truth, and she is not worried at all that the fourth master will break his promise and steal food. The fourth master is a man who keeps his promises. If he can't do it, he won't promise. Once he promises, he will definitely say it must do.

She has confidence in herself, and she also believes that her man is a man who stands upright.

So she is really not worried at all, and she doesn't care whether he has other women in name. The reason why he has been hesitant until now and has never arranged for someone is just that she can't bear to ruin the lives of those women. If nothing else, she will be a widow for the rest of her life.

After saying this, Nanny Saihan smiled.

"Fu Jin is confused. There are tens of thousands of people in this world. There are those who put love above everything else and who can abandon everything and even their own lives for the sake of love, but there are also those who love each other like shoehorns and only want gold, silver, jewels, fine clothes and jade." For food, everyone has their own pursuits, it’s just honey for each other.”

Hearing this, Lin Jinyao suddenly remembered a sentence that a certain woman said in modern times, she would rather sit behind a BMW and cry than sit behind a bicycle and laugh.

Lin Jinyao couldn't help laughing, it's really that she has become more sentimental recently, everyone's pursuit is different, some people can't bear the loneliness, but some people are willing to give up everything for a rich life, she is really bothering people.

"Before I got married to Ye, the imperial concubine and the concubine De concubine once rewarded two people to me. At that time, it seemed that I was thrown into the sewing room by me. I don't know what happened now?"

"Fu Jin is talking about the Li family and the Song family. Fujin and Ye just got married earlier, and these two people were a little restless. They thought of a way to meet Ye, and asked Ye to run into each other a few times. After being reprimanded by Ye, they became honest. I stayed in the sewing room every day and didn't make any more troubles, but the slaves watched coldly, these two people are also big-hearted, I'm afraid they haven't given up yet."

Lee?Song?Could it be the concubine Qi and concubine Mao in history?

Lin Jinyao sneered, since they themselves have the desire to climb the dragon and the phoenix, then she doesn't have to bear anything, so I'll give them a ride!It just so happened that there was a De Concubine's person among them, so he just blocked De Concubine's mouth first, so as to save that person from jumping up and down restlessly and trying to push people around Fourth Master.

"If that's the case, let the two of them get ready and tell them to get ready for the next two days. Let's live in Qixia Courtyard. They will carefully select a few from the maid who served them, and they will have to trouble you and the single mother in the future." The two of you should pay more attention to watch, don't make them jump up and down, but if you find them restless, just give me a slap."

Nanny Saihan only said: "Don't worry, Fujin, the servants will keep an eye on them, and they won't make them fool around." Just like what she said to teach those little girls, there is nothing else to say, the palace is scrambling. For so many years, she thinks that this method of teaching and teaching people is unmatched by few others.

Lin Jinyao nodded, with these two people standing in the way, at least she doesn't have to be accused of being jealous and unvirtuous every time she enters the palace to pay her respects, right?This woman is really annoying, she is used to playing around with her elders.

It's okay now, at least there is a queen dowager and the emperor on top, she doesn't dare to be too presumptuous even if she wants to make a fuss, at most she can only talk about her faults as a daughter-in-law, if the fourth master in the future... then She will become the queen mother, when the time comes...

Just thinking about it, Lin Jinyao felt a dull pain in her head, and even for a moment, she really hoped that Lord Kangxi would take his "loved concubine" with him when he drove west.

When the fourth master came back in the evening, Lin Jinyao told him about the Li family and the Song family. The fourth master was silent for a moment, hugged her and said guiltily: "I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for making you so wronged, I only blame you now I have no ability to protect you."

This era can't tolerate "jealous women", and the royal family can't tolerate it even more.

If Kangxi felt that his fourth son was actually a fear of guilt, and that the dignified son and phoenix were held in the hands of a woman, he would be so angry that he couldn't bear to strangle this unworthy son to death. Could he still be reluctant? Let the woman who harmed his son "die"?Just like Empress Xiaozhuang Wen back then, she did not plan to kill Dong E's family.

It was precisely because he knew where Kangxi's taboos were that Fourth Master never dared to let Lin Jinyao stand out. As he said, he was just an older brother, and he couldn't protect his beloved woman in front of an emperor.

Thinking of this, Fourth Master couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart. His own woman, who wants to pamper him, has to be so sneaky about this and that, it's really aggrieved!

One day, he must openly hold her in his palm and pamper her!

One day, he must let the whole world know that she is the one in his heart!
