[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

On the second day, two major events happened one after another in the court. One was that the eldest princess, who had always been famous, went to the court in an open manner. The civil and military officials questioned it, and the emperor suppressed all objections forcibly, bluntly saying that the eldest princess will be like other princes in the future Need to go to court on time to discuss politics.

The second thing is that after the next dynasty, Emperor Chengtian called all the ministers and His Royal Highness the eldest princess to discuss politics in the imperial study, and even invited the Supreme Emperor who lived in the deep palace for this purpose.Although I don't know what was said in this political discussion, but until the evening, when the ministers came out, all of them had gloomy faces.

But what people are most concerned about is not the first thing that "violates the ancestral etiquette".

Because in the future, the eldest princess is almost bound to the court, no matter whether it is wind or rain, as long as it is the time for the court, even if she is sick, she will climb to the Zhengluan Hall of the court.However, no one in the court objected to such a "big event" that people criticized.

What's more, in the next six months, Emperor Chengtian would call these people to the imperial study room almost every day, and in the later period, he would directly call all the officials above the fifth rank in Dali Temple to the imperial study room. Those "little officials" called by the emperor to the imperial study room to discuss the state affairs really couldn't pay more attention to the fact that the eldest princess went to court——

The big boss didn't say a word, they should not jump out blindly to seek death.

People in the officialdom who think a lot about it are unavoidably worried that Emperor Chengtian is going to make a big move. After all, Emperor Chengtian has been on the throne for less than a year, and the transition between the two emperors can be called peaceful. This has caused the people in many places to not even know that the emperor Changed people, or didn't feel real about it.

The time when Emperor Chengtian needed to announce his existence through the "three fires of the new official's appointment", so as soon as the emperor showed signs of going to a big fight, the others immediately shrank their tails sensitively, and no one dared to Be a demon before the storm comes.

For a moment, the inside and outside of the court hall were rarely calm, and nothing major happened, as if Emperor Chengtian had directly entered a peaceful and prosperous age as soon as he ascended the throne.

The common people have a little more favorable opinion of Emperor Chengtian because of this.

Of course, these have nothing to do with the Lin family who are far away from the power center.

Jia Shu is hearing a piece of news that is not very important, but very curious——

Xue Meng, the owner of the Xue Family of the Jinling Imperial Merchant, got a daughter-in-law last year. Because she is clever and clever, Xue Meng loves it very much. Because she will be one year old in five days, she is determined to make a big deal, so she specially released a message to invite relatives and old friends to participate in the arrest of her daughter-in-law. Zhou banquet.Because of the in-law relationship between the Jia family and the Lin family, the Xue family naturally sent servants to Huaiyang to invite the Lin family to attend.

Many people said that Xue Meng was in a daze. In the past two years, the Zhou Catch Banquet of the Dizi was not so lively, but now it is just a little girl's film, and it is even more lively than the Dizi's Zhou Catch Banquet, which is completely out of courtesy.

But in this regard, the Lin family accepted it well.

Especially Jia Shu, because of the unexpected news that she was very excited, Lin Ruhai thought that she was under too much psychological pressure due to the imminent delivery date, so that she was in an abnormal mood, and was so scared that she was so nervous that she almost invited all the doctors in Huaiyang. Come fix her up.

It took Jia Shu a long time to appease Lin Ruhai, and then he asked if he was going to attend the weekly banquet held by the daughter of the Xue family.

No wonder Jia Shu was excited. Ever since she found out that she was in the Red Mansion, she has always been extremely curious about the three protagonists. Sometimes she wished she could travel through more than ten years, so that she could see for herself the two magnificent women described in the book. host.

Now that there is an opportunity, Jia Shu will of course be excited, even though one of the three protagonists is only a few months old, one is about to turn one year old, and one is not even pregnant...

But she is still very happy to see a young lady who looks like a one-year-old little bean.

I just don't know if Sister Bao, who is only one year old, is as "mature and prudent" as written in the book. Thinking about Sister Bao who looks like a baby with a sullen face, like a little old man, it is quite fun.

Then, Jia Shu's happy imagination was directly suppressed by the rest of the Lin family——

"Ruosang, your stomach is already eight months old, and your baby is about to be born. You must not be tired at this time, let alone take a carriage to Jinling to attend a baby's Zhou feast. The carriage is bumpy. In case something goes wrong We really regret it." Lin Ruhai persuaded her earnestly.

"Daughter-in-law, you come to the house with a big belly, and the host family has to take care of you. If something happens to the Xue family, not only will the relationship with the Lin family be broken, but also the Xue family will be embarrassed to walk around with the Jia family again. Why bother?" Mother Lin gently advised her.

"Mom, if you like children so much, you can wait two months for your younger sister to be born. Why take the risk to go to Jinling? Besides, the relationship between our Lin family and the Xue family is not close. If it weren't for the grandfather's family, the two families would never have met." Walk around." Lin Xian proceeded from reality.

Hearing this, Jia Shu had already given up the idea of ​​going to Jinling in person. After all, she is not a person who does not know the importance, not to mention that she can be regarded as an elderly woman now, and she is in an ancient environment. Even if it is not for her own sake, she will not take it. Joking with their own children.

Thinking like this, she turned her head and looked at Zhuzhu, the only one who didn't speak: "Daughter, what do you want to say?"

Zhuzhu blinked, pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Don't worry, mom, after the Xue family catches the Zhou banquet, you just tell Pippi, he will definitely be able to draw the Xue family daughter for you with sketching techniques, and keep it exactly the same."

Jia Shu's eyes lit up: "How could I still draw it if I forgot?"

Because she is pregnant, it is difficult for her to travel far, but Zhuzhu is not afraid.It happened that in order to better design equipment, Zhuzhu had exhausted her sketching techniques, and even surpassed blue in blue, and her skills were much better than that of a non-professional.

And Pippi and Zhuzhu have been raised together since they were young, and they both have a deep understanding of what each other is good at. Although they are not as good as the other party, they still have eight or nine points.

Eighty-nine points is enough for Lin Xian to carefully draw the appearance of Xue's daughter.

Jia Shu was immediately satisfied: "Pippi, you must observe the daughter of the Xue family carefully. The more you can draw after returning home, the better. And you must remember the details carefully when you catch the week. I am very interested in this daughter of the Xue family."

But for a one or two-year-old baby, no one would care about the so-called male and female defense.

Furthermore, she remembered that Xue Meng acted open-minded in the original work, so he should not be a person who abides by pedantic dogma.

The only thing written in the Red Chamber Book is Jia Baoyu’s banquet of catching Zhou. As the male protagonist, he also catches Zhou in a unique way. He didn’t grab pens, ink, paper and inkstones, didn’t grab knives, guns, swords and halberds. Instead, he grabbed rouge and gouache in a surprising way. .Although it can be guessed that the appearance of rouge and gouache at the Zhou Zhou Banquet by a boy must be fraudulent, but Jia Baoyu's temperament and behavior afterwards did not disappoint what he grabbed.

Because of this, Jia Shu was very curious about what Sister Bao would catch at the weekly banquet.

Lin Xian gave Zhuzhu a funny look, but reluctantly agreed.

-

Time flies, and Xue Meng's daughter's Zhou Zhou banquet arrives as scheduled.

Lin Ruhai has a public job, so it's not easy to be away for a long time, Jia Shu is inconvenient, Lin's mother is old, and there is no elder to take care of her, Zhuzhu can't go out alone.Therefore, Lin Xian was the only one who rushed to Xue's house in the end.

However, the Xue family was originally an imperial businessman, and this time it was only his daughter's birthday party. Not to mention Lin Xian's reputation, he is still the serious master of the Lin family.

Therefore, when Xue Meng learned that the Lin family's carriage had arrived at the door of Xue's house, he immediately went to the door to greet him.

Lin Xian naturally followed Xue Meng into the front hall.

Because the banquet had not yet started, Xue Meng first led Lin Xian to several Jia family members.

Xue Meng is also kind, he is clear-headed, and he knows that the Lin family, as a scholarly family, is willing to give him such a "full of copper stink" imperial merchant's face, and it is also because of the Jia family.But as the host of the banquet, he couldn't just greet Lin Xian alone. It just so happened that the Jia family from Jinling also had some important figures, so he simply combined the two parties to avoid the trouble of waiting for the banquet to begin. It was boring for a while.

On the contrary, Lin Xian was caught off guard by this.Because of the unfamiliar relationship with the Jia family, although Lin Xian heard that there were twelve households left by the Jia family in Jinling's original place, he had never visited them. Now that he suddenly saw the Jia family in Jinling at Xue's house, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

The Jia family who came over from the Jinling old house were not much better there——

When I first learned that the Lin family was serving as the censor, not only the Jia family in Jinling, but also the other three families of the four major families were ready to make a move. They just waited for a chance encounter when the Lin family visited the Jia family, and they would not be able to build relationships. , of which the benefits are naturally inexhaustible.

But in January, February, March and April, apart from sending gifts when they first arrived in Huaiyang, no one from the Lin family visited Jia's old house at all.

The Jia family in Jinling relied on their status, so they were inevitably angry, but they didn't want to get angry at the Lin family, so they hurriedly delivered a letter to the capital. low" anger.

However, Jia Daishan wrote directly to scold the Jia family in Jinling, and told them not to provoke the Lin family.

However, Jia Daishan didn't say the reason.

The Jia family in Jinling had to rely on the Liangmen Guogong Mansion on the other side of the capital for food, so it was natural not to disobey Jia Daishan's words, but in the bottom of their hearts, they felt somewhat resentful towards the Lin family.

Then, the two parties got together.

Only Lin Xian came to the Lin family, and he is only fifteen or sixteen years old now; four or five came to the Jia family, and most of them are in their [-]s or [-]s.The atmosphere between the two was awkward. If Xue Meng hadn't been among them, people who didn't know the inside story would have thought that the Jia family was bullying Lin Xian.

Lin Xian paused for a while, and soon a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know how to address these uncles?"

Several members of the Jia family looked at each other, and finally the oldest one said, "We are all from the generation of Uncle Xi, so you can call me Uncle Waiting."

Lin Xian smiled and called several uncles.The expressions of the Jia family also softened. Although they are still not as close as Xue Meng imagined, they are not as worrying as before.

Xue Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said goodbye to a few people and left, and turned to greet other guests.
