Red Mansions Dressed Into the Forest

In the eyes of Wang Ziteng's wife, Mrs. Gao, Lin Hai's future level is still second, but Lin Hai's wife's circle is really powerful!Even though she is a first-rank imperial order, she still has a lot to rely on Lin Hai and his wife.

Because the prince moved far away from King Yizhong, and offended King Suduan this time, it would be difficult for Mrs. Gao to participate in the socializing between Princess Yizhong, Princess Suduan and even the concubine, even if she is the aunt of the noble concubine.

Most of the old ladies in the six major pavilions come from poets and books. If there is no one to recommend, Mrs. Gao will be the same~ insert~no~ go in...

In other words, if Madam ~ Diplomacy ~ Diplomacy doesn't care about things, how can it be possible that people still pay attention to and talk about it hundreds of years later?

The influence of leaning on the wind on the pillow is second to none. The main thing is that the topics that the wives chat about are not only about the family's gossip, but also the movements of the previous dynasty. benefit.

Wang Ziteng was not in the capital for many years before, without the support of her husband and expanding her social circle, Mrs. Gao's entertainment became less and less. After Wang Ziteng "reported" Suduan Palace, her social circle became narrower...

All in all, Mrs. Gao needs to use Wang Chan's line to meet some "new friends".

Mrs. Gao didn't hide her intentions, and Wang Chan didn't care about it: anyway, from the end of the year to the beginning of next year, my family will have to hold a few banquets, and it's just a matter of inviting Mrs. Wang next door to sit with me.

As for asking Wang Chan to take it with him personally, go to the relatives' house at Wang Chan's mother's house, and introduce them one by one... Don't dream about it.

Wang Chan's willingness to pull Mrs. Gao is also for Daiyu's sake.No matter how Daiyu came back from Wang's house, she could see that the girl was very happy—Daiyu's familiar little sisters... To tell the truth, Mrs. Gao should look down on none of them, but for Daiyu's sake Daiyu was so happy when she came back home after inviting them one by one.

After all, Mrs. Gao put her heart into it.

Besides, Wang Chan thinks that the master and Wang Ziteng have a good chat... Although in the official circles, they can't wait to get rid of the ~political~enemies of the other party's family, and they still smile when they meet, as if they are on good terms.

Looking at the big girl who was chatting and laughing with her father, Wang Chan wrote Mrs. Gao's name in his booklet.

Seeing his daughter-in-law buried in her book, Lin Hai looked up at the father and daughter after a while, and said, "Girl, please ask your mother for a format for the invitation, and we, the father and daughter, can help your mother."

The format of the so-called invitation is the one with the title and signature blank, and the content in the middle is exactly the same.

Posts written by the master will naturally be sent to distinguished guests. For example, in my natal family, the posts written by the eldest girl are specially sent to her little sisters. Wang Chan made up his mind, so he found the post he wrote, and took another A large number of blank posts were handed over according to the number of people's names on the pamphlet.

A small coffee table was placed on Luohan's bed, and the father and daughter began to write hard.

When Daiyu wrote a post to her little sisters, she couldn't help feeling emotional, "Father, mother...can I invite the three sisters from my grandmother's family, and sister Bao to our house?"

After the snow fell, Daiyu had already been the host, and invited these little sisters to come to the house, and it was only a few days later that she would invite others to play again... Every time she is the host, the mother has to spend a lot of time preparing, so Daiyu made the request It's also very embarrassing at times.

Lin Hai didn't even raise his head, "Discuss it with your mother." He reminded, "Don't just invite the sisters from your grandmother's side."

Daiyu put down her pen, her face flushed slightly, but she still said solemnly, "It's not that my daughter wants to favor one another, but I just listened to what the sisters said. They are not young, and aunts never go out..."

Then there is no place to hang out, right?

Lin Hai couldn't help laughing when he heard this: it's because those girls are treating Daiyu as straw.Thinking about it, girls are good at communication, so they can get a little more attention from Jia Mu.

Mrs. Gao, the wife of Wang Ziteng, is a serious first-class wife. What do you think of her social circle?Don't you want to use his wife to open up the situation?

Not to mention Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, both of them have limited contacts, and one has nothing to do, and the other's own daughter has already entered the palace and became a concubine, so why would she care about the concubine's marriage?

In addition, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng's brothers and it didn't work out. Even if Jia Lian and Baoyu, the sons of the concubine, were freed, how much can they do for the daughter of the concubine?The relatives didn't care about it, so the two wives "ignored" the concubine girls even more.

It's just that Tanchun is not someone who is so urgent about getting married, Lin Hai thinks about it for a while and thinks that Tanchun should be somewhat influenced by Baochai.

In the original book, Baochai ran into a wall everywhere and couldn't find any way to get promoted, so couldn't she just follow Daiyu Xiangyun to compete for Baoyu?Jia Baoyu was indeed the only son of an official that Baochai had access to.

With Baochai's spirit, with Daiyu as a good sister, she naturally has to fight for her own future... It is estimated that Jia Baoyu is not in Baochai's eyes now.

Lin Hai had three cards before time travelling, but after time travelling, he became ten years younger and finally became a real uncle.

He is too old to be familiar with teenage girls who have not recovered from their secondary illnesses—in modern times, these children are no more than junior high school students.

If Daiyu is willing to help the little sisters, then her daughter will be satisfied. If the girls have a little awkwardness and Daiyu changes her mind, then that's fine.

To put it bluntly, when it comes to Lin Hai, he doesn't really care much about whether his own daughter has fulfilled the good marriages of the little sisters.

Wang Chan also felt that it didn't matter: these girls in Rongguo Mansion were either born as concubines or merchants. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't affect the older girls, let alone the marriages of her nieces from her natal family.

Anyway, if the eldest girl is happy, the master will be happy.She is happy to see the master smiling all day long... Well, she watched Lin Hai's face gradually become hot: the master is really good-looking, and he is... even better!

The love between husband and wife is not enough for outsiders, but which of Wang Chan's confidantes and big girls can't see it?It happened that Qi Luo and Xiu Jin were on duty today, and seeing her wife's expression softened, she waited to listen to her orders.

Sure enough, Wang Chan covered his face and looked at his two maids, "Tell the kitchen to prepare some fresh fruits and vegetables, and let Lao Wang get two tender lambs."

The old Wang she mentioned is her companion, and now he is the chief steward of the inner courtyard.Jinxiu took orders and left.

Wang Chan smiled again and said to Lin Hai's father and daughter: "My family has a good recipe for cleaning lamb meat, and this time we have won the favor of the big girl."

Daiyu got up quickly, rushed over and hugged Wang Chan's arm, "I know that mother loves me too." Now she eats venison and mutton and can restrain it quite well.

In other words, after Daiyu asked her father to extend her life, although she still has some signs of inadequacy, she hasn't been sick since autumn...

Lin Hai saw it, and felt more and more that Daiyu's melancholy and sickness was caused by the excitement of losing her father.

She was born weak and thoughtful, and Mrs. Wang of the Rong Mansion was reluctant to give Daiyu a good life—Lin Hai remembered that when Daiyu first came to Rong Mansion before her father died, she wanted to eat ginseng nourishing Rong Wan, and Mrs. Wang said nothing If you don't say anything, you will be assigned; when Daiyu loses her father, she will have to help Baochai to eat some bird's nest when she is just borrowing Rongfu.

After swallowing Daiyu's one million dowry, he couldn't even part with some bird's nest... Thinking of this, Lin Hai became even more angry with Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

Regardless of whether Baochai was sincere or not, she was indeed the only one who extended a helping hand at that time.

Lin Hai thought about it, and took the plot in the original book as the previous life, so let's repay Baochai with a good marriage this time.Taking a step back, if Baochai married high, the Xue family's property would not be cheap to the Rongfu, saving the Rongfu from lingering, once everything was settled, everyone was happy.

From the perspective of Mrs. Wang, whose heart is higher than the sky, her Baoyu is born with supernatural powers, and she is also the "uncle of the country". How can Baochai be worthy of it?Even if Baochai is her niece, she is also from a merchant family and has no father. Apart from having money in the family, how much can she help and support Baoyu?

It has to be said that Lin Hai guessed Mrs. Wang's thoughts very accurately.

In fact, Mrs. Wang was at home at this time receiving and sending New Year gifts, writing and replying to posts, and still thinking about Baoyu's lifelong event: I have to admit that Daiyu is the only one among Baoyu's cousins...

This is also the reason Mrs. Wang has been struggling: she really doesn't like Daiyu's own mother, and she doesn't like Daiyu's noble spirit, but Daiyu's father and stepmother are her own brothers and she doesn't want to offend her. powerful person.

Fortunately, her elder brother Wang Ziteng returned to Beijing, Mrs. Wang felt that she had more room to choose, so there was no need to worry about getting married for the time being.At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, I always have to enter the palace several times, just to discuss with the empress again.

But she said that Baochai was not as optimistic as her aunt. She was watching over her mother in Lixiangyuan, discussing with her mother how many gifts to prepare for the Lin family, especially sister Daiyu.

Baochai took Aunt Xue's arm and said, "Mother, we sisters are guests at my uncle's house. Sister Daiyu said that she would invite us to her house in a few days... she said it was her cousins ​​from her mother's side. also go."

Aunt Xue said: "That's why you should prepare more gifts." Then she called the big girl to get out of the box and put on her hair.

Baochai lowered her head slightly, her face flushed slightly, "Mother, when the time comes... sister Daiyu's mother's cousin will also join in the fun."

The daughter was supposed to go to Beijing to be elected, but something happened to Pan'er at this juncture.

Although the magistrate of Jinling took care of his elder brother Wang Ziteng for a while, there was no further news about his daughter's entry into the palace. Afterwards, it was rumored that the eldest daughter of her sister's family had made a noble concubine... Aunt Xue complained that her son was dragging her daughter down, but that so what?In Aunt Xue's heart, no matter how caring her daughter is, she still belongs to others, and she will still depend on her son in the future.

But the daughter can't enter the palace, so she can marry casually... If she marries another merchant, even if she is also an imperial merchant, why bother to leave the clan and come to Beijing all the way?

Aunt Xue originally wanted to rely on her sister-in-law and sister to help her find a good family for Baochai, and she even moved Baoyu's idea. Neither the ancestors of the house nor his own sister had any intention of getting married.

As for the sister-in-law... she was really indifferent to Pan'er and Baochai from the beginning to the end.Forget it, the sister-in-law treats them the same way, and the sister-in-law probably feels that the sisters' husband's family is of little help to the elder brother.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue also felt sad: the warmth and well-being of the family is in the open, let alone outsiders, fortunately Baochai knows how to plan for herself.It may not be easy to expect any official wife to take a fancy to her family Baochai; but if a son likes Baochai and refuses to marry Fei Qing, there is some certainty in making a good marriage.

Aunt Xue also knew that Mrs. Lin Jiaxin invited nephews, nieces, and nieces to visit their home with their mothers. There must be "different men and women": boys play with boys, girls sit with girls, but young There is always a rare moment for men and women to meet each other.

Aunt Xue thought about it for a while, hugged her daughter in comfort and said, "Then you should prepare a great gift," and then said, "Bring that box of pearls."

That box of pearls is rare...Baochai still thinks that her mother is too good-looking: look at the furnishings of the Lin family, and the clothes and jewelry on Daiyu's body...Thinking of the background of Mrs. Lin's family background, the family is probably full of rewards from the palace.

In short, people are not short of money, instead of giving precious gemstones like mothers, it is better to give some elegant things: rare rare books, ancient books or calligraphy, painting, ink ingots and inkstones...

Baochai thought about it for a second, and stopped reminding her mother: it's better for mother to give mother what she gave her, mother and daughter have two hearts, wouldn't it be better for Daiyu to "explain" to Mrs. Lin's family.

Their Xue family is also not short of money... Spending money to buy contacts is really a dream!

Daiyu often invites her sisters to come to her house these days, and Mrs. Lin always smiles and chats with them for a while before letting the little sisters chat and laugh by themselves—in any case, Mrs. Lin is looking for Daiyu's sake. , They are very kind to these little girls.

Baochai also made up her mind: flattering Mrs. Lin may be more interested in flattering her aunt.

Baochai was about to return to her room while she was preparing a gift for Daiyu. It happened that Xue Pan came back at this time and visited her mother in the main room.

Baochai frowned slightly when she saw that her brother smelled of alcohol, and immediately asked with a smile, "Who did you go out with again today?"

Xue Pan hiccupped and replied with a smile, "Among those people... you know Baoyu..."

As soon as Baochai heard it, he knew that it was a gathering of acquaintances. Baoyu was still young, and his elder brother probably couldn't do anything special at the banquet. he!

So Baochai persuaded: "In the future, when my brother asks Baoyu to go out, it's better not to keep him too late, otherwise I'm afraid my aunt will feel uncomfortable."

Many people have heard that Baoyu's Lingyu and Baochai's golden lock are "pairs", but because Daiyu is not in Rongfu and Baochai is not in Baoyu, no one murmurs this time, even Xue Pan's brain I never thought that my sister and cousin would make a pair...

Xue Pan nodded quickly when he heard the words, "Your sister is right." Uncle and aunt, like his aunt, were full of seriousness, and Xue Pan felt apprehensive thinking about it.

Seeing that her elder brother had listened to her words, Baochai said again, "Uncle has returned to Beijing, and my elder brother will go to his uncle's house a few more times." After thinking about it, she added, "It's not good to treat one more favorably than another."

Xue Pan was about to feel unhappy when he heard the first half of his sister's sentence, but then he smiled happily when he heard the second half of the sentence, "It's still my sister who is thoughtful!"

The cousins ​​of the uncle's family are different from the uncle, so they won't be "no oil and salt".

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were very happy, Aunt Xue was very relieved, and she also hugged her daughter and laughed.

But when Baochai accepted Daiyu's message and was about to visit Lin's mansion, Ying'er went up to her girl and said, "Miss, Miss Shi is here, and she is now in front of the old lady. Go talk."

When Baochai heard that she had changed her clothes, she helped Yinger go to Jiamu's yard together.When Baochai's master and servant arrived, there was constant laughter in Jiamu's room.

After Baochai saluted, she heard Jia Mu ask Tanchun's little sisters what they planned to do, and Tanchun told Jia Mu that their sisters had accepted Daiyu's post.

Xiangyun's face froze when he heard the words, and Baochai knew that this girl didn't get Daiyu's post.

Jia's mother didn't take it seriously: Daiyu had only lived with her for about a year, and Xiangyun didn't come here much, so it was normal for sisters not to know each other well.

She then called Yuanyang to her, "Go for a walk, go to the Lin Mansion and tell Yu'er that Xiangyun is here, and how many of their sisters will be there tomorrow. Ask her again, which days are free these days? Let her come back to accompany my old lady, I miss her." After finishing speaking, she asked Yuanyang to open the box and sent a pair of enamel plum vases and a string of coral beads that the imperial concubine gave her a few days ago.

The mandarin ducks should go down.In fact, the last time Daiyu returned to Rong Mansion was only half a month ago.

When Baochai and Tanchun heard the words, they both secretly said: Fortunately, the ancestors are willing to come forward.Xiangyun also laughed: A little girl without parents is the most sensitive.

This is also something that the old lady will come: if you take Xiangyun with you without telling me in advance, there will be nothing wrong with Daiyu, I'm afraid the new wife of the Lin family will not be happy.I didn't see the old lady sending things to the Lin Mansion, she had to come out of the palace?

And if the girls around her forge a deep friendship, Mother Jia will naturally be happy to see it succeed.The old lady also had a plan in her heart: the son-in-law is a master who is afraid of trouble, but he can never be called ruthless.

It's just that the words and deeds of the old lady reached Mrs. Wang's ears, and Mrs. Wang felt a pain in her heart: thinking that she had worked so hard to save money, some of it was sent to the palace, and the other part had to be thought about building a yard, but the things her daughter gave her were old. The wife didn't hesitate to send her directly to Lin's mansion!

Baoyu, who was in front of Mrs. Wang, didn't notice his mother's frowning brows and tight lips when he heard this. He was just thinking about how beautiful Lin's snow-white wrist with the string of bright red beads is. .

Although it was a pity that he couldn't participate every time the sisters got together, he also knew that his uncle would not condone him... But a few days later, sister Lin's cousins ​​all went to the Lin mansion for a reunion, and he also got an invitation card written by sister Lin.
