Red Mansions Dressed Into the Forest

Lin Hai didn't care whether it was Jia Zheng's "half-push" to let Mrs. Wang come forward, or Mrs. Wang was purely self-assertive.

But for the right teacher, Lin Hai really has a few good candidates, all of whom are from his same subject or hometown.After all, young talents like Lin Hai who are in their thirties who have been named on the gold list are in the minority. Most of them were in their thirties and nearly forty when they were Jinshi.

After thinking about it, Lin Hai asked his wife again, "Daiyu's teacher, do you have a charter?"

Wang Chan raised his head from among a large pile of ledgers and posts, "Next spring, I will study with my nieces from my natal family... Master, do you see?"

At the end of autumn this year, Wang Chan took Lin Hai's post and invited Lin Hai's Ding You's classmate to teach her nieces from her natal family. After Wang Chan asked Daiyu, he simply asked the girls to make a bunch.

Wang Chan has long been convinced that the two houses of Ningrong and Rong... According to the master, they are big pits, and she has been pulling Daiyu to her natal family-her two sister-in-laws like Daiyu very much.

Wang Chan is only worried that this method of wooing is too urgent and too explicit, which will make the master unhappy.

Daiyu also stopped writing at this time - she was helping her stepmother to copy and write.She said softly: "Sisters and daughters have always been good friends."

The gentleman who taught the girls in the Rongfu was an old scholar, and the stepmother invited the same subject as the father, a serious Jinshi.Daiyu has always been eager to learn. Is there any question as to which side she will choose?

Lin Hai was quite satisfied with the daughter-in-law's arrangement.

This is the advantage of marrying a young lady from a famous family: her vision is wide enough, and she will not easily go so far as to embarrass the children left behind by her original spouse for money.

Lin Hai nodded, and recommended a famous strict teacher to Jia Zheng and his wife: If they really come to invite Baoyu to study with this gentleman, the second room of the Rong Mansion may be saved, if they are reluctant... Lin Hai saw the excitement Yes, I'm not afraid of big things at all.

But what Jia Zheng and his wife did, Lin Hai wanted to tell his daughter: especially that Mrs. Wang used her husband's posts to do things, she must let Daiyu know.

Daiyu said generously in front of her stepmother: "Sisters, it's all right, Lian's second sister-in-law...was a little sour at that time."

The news of his father's promotion came, but Lian's second sister-in-law was fine.Afterwards, my father became a "distinguished guest" in front of my grandmother, and Lian's second sister-in-law's words were inevitably sour: Maybe she felt that the niece of a first-rank official was not as good as me, the daughter of a third-rank official?

The second uncle and the second aunt are actually melancholy and jealous, and she is not unaware of it.

After all, she is an elder, so it's not easy for Daiyu to tell the truth about her uncle and aunt in front of her father and stepmother, but she can use Lian's second sister-in-law to "point a question".

Daiyu had faintly sensed that her father was becoming more and more impatient with foreign ancestors, but she was afraid of hurting her heart, so she tried to be more tactful in words.She really wanted to say, Daddy, you don't have to make things difficult... So she did so immediately, "Grandmother loves her daughter the most, cousins ​​and sisters get along very well with her, and besides... they also take good care of her daughter."

The meaning of these words could not be clearer: Mother Jia loves her very much, and the cousins ​​also have some friendship because they are often together.

Lin Hai became interested when his daughter was so honest, and asked, "How does your sister-in-law Zhu treat you?"

Daiyu pursed her lips slightly, "I heard that father, you are going to Beijing, and sister-in-law Zhu has warmed up to me." After a pause, she still added, "My daughter can save it when people are cold and warm."

Li Wan was born in a scholarly family, so he is not as snobbish as Sister Feng, but for the future of his son Lan Geer, he did not hesitate to put down his figure to please Daiyu.

Lin Hai persuasively said, "Did you see anything?"

Daiyu thought for a moment, then whispered, "Everyone has their own thoughts, and they are all planning for themselves."

Lin Hai was very pleased when he heard the words: Yuanchun concubine, this is the best time for Ningrong and Rongfu to rise up after years of silence, but no one in this big family has a reliable plan for the whole family.Filling the vacancy for Jia Lian was forced out because Jia Zheng almost lost his position.

When she returned to her father, Daiyu couldn't understand her uncle's family: when she was with her grandmother, she felt that her aunts and sisters-in-law seemed to only have money in their eyes, and she had never heard them mention 01:30 at all.

Who made Daiyu hear from her parents all "who has good character and means", "who is so and so", and "who is that adult at odds with?"...under the influence of her ears and eyes, she gradually became less surprised : Why are there two uncles, one is unemployed at home, and the other is still a fifth grade after many years.

Just listening to her parents, she made a clear distinction between her own family, her stepmother's natal family, and her uncle's family, which sisters she could have more contact with, and which girls she should stay away from... But she felt that the sisters of the uncle's family She didn't know much about their family.

When the sisters come to be guests at home, she will talk and persuade: the sisters have been together for so many days, how can they pretend to be confused?

After Daiyu returned to her room, Lin Hai picked out two invitations from the pile of invitations he received today and handed them to his wife, "King Yizhong, Brother Lian and his uncle, we must go to these two families, other... ..." He pointed to the remaining stack of posts, "Let's not go."

Wang Chan said with a smile: "My cousin is in good health, so I like to be lively."

King Yizhong, who is recovering from illness, will definitely live with King Suduan and King Zhongshun. Even if he is keen on socializing and entertaining, His Majesty can tolerate it: If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse.

However, Lin Hai's reply reached Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zheng was quite satisfied, and said directly, "Find a good day, and come and invite Mr. Wang to sit in the restaurant."

In his heart, the reason why Baoyu didn't make progress was because the old lady spoiled her so much that she didn't want Baoyu to study hard.This time my brother-in-law recommended a strict teacher, the old lady is always speechless, right?

Mrs. Wang was more thoughtful than Jia Zheng. Seeing Jia Zheng say something like throwing his hands away from his boss, she went out to Aunt Zhao's room to rest. How about it."

The second wife who was in charge of the middle school spoke, and the people below replied very quickly: that gentleman was once a classmate of my aunt, very knowledgeable, and a well-known strict teacher, but it is a pity...he is a juren.

Mrs. Wang was not very happy when she heard this: Juren is also embarrassed to recommend it?Baoyu's temperament is a bit weird, but she was born with visions, and her talent is even more unusual... Can Juren teach it? !

In fact, the reason for her dissatisfaction is also very simple. It was Jia Yucun who enlightened Daiyu in the past, and he was a serious Jinshi master.

However, since the death of Jia Daishan in the Rong Mansion, there has not been a single candidate for the gentlemen's entertainers and teachers.

Just talking about this point, Jia Zheng is much more practical than Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang knew that it was impossible for the master to stand out, so she wanted to tell Jia's mother the last time: it was an injustice and a grievance.

It's a pity that Jia's mother didn't want to talk to the second daughter-in-law at all: since Brother Lian came to say that he had seen his uncle, he even explained in detail how to get in touch with his uncle again.

Mother Jia hasn't slept well for the past two days...she's just excited.

There are too few powerful relatives and friends in Rongfu who really have what they say. The family used to rely on Wang Ziteng with all their heart... and everyone saw it.Fortunately, the son-in-law is willing to take care of him, and the old lady is also very grateful for the few times of matchmaking.

So the old lady told Brother Lian, "Go to your uncle's house when you have time. Your future will probably fall on your uncle and uncle."

Jia Lian listened to this.He learned a lot of "official~field~common sense" from his own uncle, so his thoughts and ambitions are different from the past.

At this moment, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, and Jia Lian sent the girl, saying that he would come to visit her grandmother.

Mrs. Wang knew that the old lady would not let her stand out today, so she got up and left.

When the daughter-in-law walked away, Jia's mother said to Yuanyang, "The temper of the second family is getting more and more stubborn." After suffering a little loss from the son-in-law and granddaughter, the second family just looked uncomfortable.

Yuanyang came to tell the truth, "It's not uncommon for the second wife to be unable to turn around for a while."

Who let the second wife be in charge of the middle school, saying that one is the same for so many years...not to mention the second wife also has the imperial concubine and the elder brother who lives in the first rank.

Yuanyang was worried that the old lady didn't stand up for the second wife, and didn't even comfort her. The second wife couldn't think about going to the empress to complain about her grievances, or complaining to Mrs. Wang.

Just as she was about to persuade the old lady, Jia Lian happened to come in, so she had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Wang was called into the palace on the second day of the Spring Festival—as a noble concubine, she could see and talk to her family members every month.

Mrs. Wang was also depressed, and after talking about the recent situation of her family, she began to complain: Lin Hai’s family made her unhappy a lot, but there was only one thing that she could really say. Mr. Bao Yuxun was not very dedicated and looked down upon him Suspected of her family.

Of course, Mrs. Wang was not so confused as to directly say "Lin Hai looks down on you, concubine".

Yuanchun is getting tired and crooked these days.

Uncle Wang Ziteng has bought two eunuchs and two female officials in the palace for so many years, and these four people are not only loyal to Wang Ziteng-you Wang Ziteng can buy it with money, but others can't?

It's the end of the year, and the Holy Majesty suddenly sent a "big gift" to wash the inner palace... Only one of the four people remained.

Yuan Chun, who got the news, stayed up all night. She was so frightened that she almost wanted to "turn herself in" to the Holy Spirit: she had been relying on these four people to pass the news inside and outside the palace.

The crime of delivering a message can be great or small.In the end, she was still terrified, her sisters... the rest of the concubines also "disappeared" one after another.

Yuan Chun Gaoxuan's heart sank in half: it's not about her and her uncle.There are King Suduan and King Zhongshun staring at her, so it's no wonder she thinks too much.

It is said that Wang Ziteng was rewarded by the emperor for prosecuting King Su Duan, and Yuan Chun borrowed the power of her uncle to concubine her, so she had nothing to complain about when her uncle's opponent came to plot against her.

She summoned Mrs. Wang because she wanted Mrs. Wang to go out of the palace to spread a message: Don't worry about uncle, the Holy Majesty probably didn't plan to do anything to uncle.

Wang Ziteng lives so peacefully these days precisely because his own people "sink" in the palace for no reason.He wanted to see if His Majesty wanted to kill the donkey...

Just now the mother looked sad, Yuan Chun thought she was going to pass on the message for uncle, how could he have thought that mother complained endlessly about Baoyu's husband?

Yuan Chun immediately became impatient, and interrupted directly, "Madam, please go to Uncle's house, just tell Uncle that there is nothing wrong."

Mrs. Wang was startled when she heard the words, but she would not be completely dizzy, "What do you mean?" Why is it "nothing", what happened to the empress in the palace these days!

Yuan Chun's words were concise and to the point, causing Madam Wang to have a sad face all the way from leaving the palace to returning to the mansion: The four "missing" people also received many rewards from the empress!

Those rewards naturally came from the Rong Mansion.

Mrs. Wang naturally complied with Yuan Chun's instructions.When Wang Ziteng received the news, when he turned to the court, he saw that Yu Shi had neglected his duties because of the unaccounted for [-] silver, so he only sighed softly and did not defend his brother-in-law.

On the other hand, Lin Hai had an expression of "I knew it": Do you think it will be fine if you make up the shortfall of 3 taels?How can it be!Seeing that you are so happy to take out 3 taels, people want to cheat you for more money.
