Red Mansions Dressed Into the Forest

But he said that when Lin Hai returned home, Wang Chan and Daiyu hadn't returned yet.

When he sent his long follower back home, he not only told his wife that there was a dinner party at night, but also told his daughter-in-law that if she was bored and lonely, she could go back to her mother's house to relax.

Wang Chan is an old woman who has been loved since she was a child. Lin Hai accompanied his daughter-in-law back to her mother's house, and Wang Chan acted like a baby with his parents in front of him.

It is conceivable that if Lin Hai was not around, Wang Chan would be like a "little ancestor", but his parents just like girls...

Lin Hai has been busy recently, so he doesn't take much care of his wife.Wang Chan was pregnant and squeamish, so Lin Hai made up his mind: it's better to let his father-in-law and mother-in-law, mainly the mother-in-law, come to "rescue the emergency".

Without his wife and daughter, Lin Hai felt "lonely, empty and cold", especially today when he knew something important that made him want to talk about it.He didn't change his clothes at all, and took his wife and daughter home by car.

When Lin Hai came to his father-in-law's house, his mother-in-law was hugging Wang Chan and praising her son-in-law, "It's hard to find such a generous man with a lantern, you should cherish it."

Wang Chan nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, "How many times have you said Che Zhilu? Am I your daughter or daughter-in-law?" Before he finished speaking, his mother flicked his forehead.

"Are you impatient yet?"

Wang Chan covered his forehead and said with a smile, "I know my mother loves me. Don't worry, my daughter is that person who doesn't know how to measure?"

But she said that Wang Chan was pregnant, so Wang Chan's mother sent a nanny and a maid who had served her to the Lin Mansion—this was also because the experienced nanny and maid in the Lin Mansion simply couldn't make up a hand, Lin Hai was worried, so he simply asked his mother-in-law for help.

When Wang Chan's mother heard this, she naturally wanted it.

This time, the girl who followed Wang Chan back to her mother's house was that girl named □□Mei... Although this name is common, this girl is actually the girl who accompanied Wang Chan's mother.

In other words, Chunmei's parents used to work in the palace, needless to say the means of vision.

Wang Chan leaned in his mother's arms and said nothing lazily, so it was natural for Chunmei to explain her life in the Lin Mansion.

I heard that the son-in-law and concubine Ji concubines don't want one, and it seems that it has been two months, and they are still watching over the daughter every day, living together every day, Wang Chan's mother just said what she just said.

Wang Chan sat up at this time, took his mother's hand and said, "I'm hungry."

Wang Chan's mother hurriedly called the girl beside her to get some snacks.

When Lin Hai followed his father-in-law into the door, he saw his daughter-in-law... There was still scum on the corner of her mouth.He couldn't help laughing.

Lin Hai's father-in-law said helplessly, "Why did you go back as you lived?"

Wang Chan was not afraid of her father, so she touched her belly with a smile: The meaning is very clear, the more you live, the more you go back to be able to conceive your grandson?

Wang Chan's father had nothing to do with his daughter...then said nothing.

Wang Chan's father has already been appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment—he always has a paralyzed face in court or in the yamen, and only smiles at him as a son-in-law, but he always has an expressive expression when facing his daughter...at least in Lin Hai's opinion. .

On the way to bring their wives and daughters home, Wang Chan and Daiyu looked at each other in dismay, and then asked almost in unison, "Master, do you have something on your mind?"

Lin Hai squeezed his daughter's face, and then took his daughter-in-law's hand, "I have too many things on my mind today, and I don't know which one to talk about first." After speaking, he looked at Daiyu, "Exchanging gifts with my cousins ​​again gone?"

Both families are quite "local tyrants", and the girls never meet each other empty-handed.

Daiyu was also quite willing to come to Wang's house with her stepmother: it's not that she is picky, but the girls in Wang's family are different from the sisters in uncle's house in terms of bearing alone.

Of course, Daiyu murmured in her heart: No matter how simple she is, she can see that the uncle's house has been a bit...well, not as good as before.

It's not easy to socialize without money, she understands this reason.When she was with her grandmother, she found that her aunts didn't go out easily, either keeping accounts or worshiping Buddha in the room, which was completely different from her stepmother who only went back to her mother's house and had invitations every now and then.

Looking at it now, my grandmother and uncle are counting on the support of the imperial concubine and empress, and they will inherit the family business after a few cousins ​​have practiced for a few years.

Although her father never said anything bad about her second uncle, Dai Yucha felt that her father didn't like her second uncle, and even her father, who took her second aunt, didn't like her.

When she was chatting with her sisters, especially the sisters of the Wang family, she also heard that the second uncle was imprisoned last year. Although the first month of this year was reinstated, he still made a note of it with the Holy Majesty.

Thinking that it seems that the imperial concubine and empress are not in a hurry, and have never tried to protect her, Daiyu knew that the imperial concubine... probably had long since wanted to change her head in her natal family.

Not to mention Jia Zheng, even Mrs. Wang didn't see the slightest clue to Yuan Chun's thoughts, but his cousin, who had only heard his name but never met him, guessed rightly.

When Yuanchun was young, her grandfather was still there, and when her grandfather passed away, she stayed with her grandmother. No matter how knowledgeable or thoughtful she was, her biological mother who couldn't read a few big characters could not compare with her.

After several years of experience in the palace, although she was able to become a concubine with her uncle's "strength", she could see very clearly: Uncle is...unreliable.

If a woman wants to live a smooth life and be stable in her husband's family, besides relying on her own ability, she has to look at her mother's family and children-isn't the royal family not the same?

Uncle Wang Ziteng's denunciation of King Suduan was necessary in Yuan Chun's view, but there was no need to personally come forward, right?Before the Holy Majesty completely dealt with King Suduan and King Zhongshun, Uncle's future was somewhat unpredictable.

Moreover, among the several princes, my uncle prefers the third prince, who is the oldest. However, Yuan Chun lived deep in the palace, and because she was pregnant, she was able to get along with the Holy Majesty. She intuitively felt that the Majesty liked the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Ninth Prince more than the Third Prince. , even the Fourth Prince has a higher position in the heart of the Holy One than the Third Prince.

Apart from uncle Wang Ziteng making Yuanchun upset, his parents are even more worried: the more they know, the more confused they feel.Yuan Chun has become a noble concubine, and she is happy to be told about her success...

However, when Yuanchun was worrying about the future of her natal family, my uncle "stepped forward" and first got his cousin Jia Lian into the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then found a good teacher for Baoyu, not to mention which string was moved, and even brought Rong from Ningfu Brother arranged to join the Ministry of War. Although he was only a junior officer of the seventh rank, the Long Banwei that Big Brother Zhen gave to Brother Rong was more than 01:30, but at that time Yuan Chun and Big Brother Zhen had the same opinion: a good life Thank you Uncle Lin.

As a result, when the Northwest War broke out in the first month, Brother Rong immediately took the opportunity to make meritorious service...

Mother only had Dafang's title and Rongfu's money in her eyes, and she wanted to leave these to Baoyu.And my uncle helped the two houses of the Rong Mansion, and even helped the Ning Mansion. Mrs. Wang complained to Yuan Chun when she entered the palace today: she felt that Lin Hai was a bit close.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Chun has been quite impatient with his mother recently: the prosperity of a family can never depend on only one person.The opportunity to make contributions and even restore the glory and prestige of Ningrong and Rongfu is imminent. In Mother's eyes, it is just the empty title and the tens of thousands of taels of silver!

She would rather her mother think about prostitution, at least... be more promising!

But Yuan Chun was feeling sulking here, and the Holy Majesty arrived suddenly—the Holy Majesty didn't say that he would come to her Fengzao Palace in advance.

Today I chatted with my second brother for most of the day, and the Holy One is not in a good mood.The second elder brother is lucid and able to stabilize his emotions, telling him the past in an orderly manner... The main thing is after Jia Daishan's death, the Northwest let King Suduan gradually infiltrate the bad things.

His second brother seemed to be fine, but he, the audience, was so angry that his chest hurt.

The second elder brother left the palace and went back to the mansion. The Holy One sat in the study for a while, but he still couldn't calm down. He remembered that Yuan Chun's mother also came to the palace to visit today. After hearing the confidant's steward report back to the imperial concubine, his face was not very good-looking... Yuan Chun's body is different from before...

The Holy Majesty then ordered to get up and go to Fengzao Palace to sit down: the two frustrated people felt sorry for each other, and the Holy Majesty felt that maybe he could feel a little better.

It is said that although the Holy Majesty is not good at yelling at Yuan Chun or complaining, after all, he has to be cautious when it involves King Suduan.If he hadn't been involved so much, he would have thrown King Suduan's family into the clan mansion long ago, and locked them up alive until they died.

However, Yuan Chun didn't have so many scruples: she dared to complain to the Holy Master about her parents.Speaking of it, Yuan Chun's "dislike" is much less serious than the sage's words of warning!

Besides, Yuan Chun is actually very afraid that after giving birth to a child, his parents will shake off his prestige, especially Baoyu's character has not been finalized... Now this younger brother has begun to show the color of a playboy, if he is allowed to be spoiled by his grandmother, I am afraid that he will be abandoned up!

In Yuan Chun's heart, since a "stupid person" like her parents has already registered with the Holy One, if something happened to her parents in the future, the Holy One might not care too much about the "stupid person".

Yuan Chun's careful thinking is as clear as a mirror: But he is not tired of this little trick at all, this is the so-called prevention of problems before they happen.

Think about Jia Zheng and his wife, one is pedantic and unaccommodating, the other is greedy and unscrupulous... It is rare to have a rational and intelligent daughter.

Thinking of this, the Holy Majesty deliberately teased Yuan Chun, "Princess Xuanping entered the palace a few days ago, and went to Concubine Shu to say that she had won the eldest daughter of the Xue family. Unfortunately, this girl still hopes to enter the palace to be selected... She will not be difficult for others. .”

King Xuanping has no direct sons, and the two sons are both born to side concubines.And the two side concubines seem to have chosen Zhongbaochai, intending to bring their son in... How could Yuanchun not know about this?

But the cousin ran to be a concubine for the concubine of the county king. Be careful that it was a concubine, not a concubine. Of course, Yuan Chun had a pimple in his heart: This is very embarrassing!

Wang Chan also told Daiyu: If Baochai becomes a concubine, try not to associate with her anymore... The reason is exactly the same as Yuanchun's here, it's embarrassing.

Yuan Chun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, "There are fates for people, you really can't force it." Speaking of this, she was blessed to the heart, don't let my mother go to talk nonsense, so that the two concubines of Xuan Ping changed their minds, right? !

Yuan Chun clutched the handkerchief, and he had nothing to say: it's nothing more than plotting against his own family's money, but how could he even plot against his aunt's family's money!

Seeing Yuan Chun suddenly realize that he was first startled and then annoyed, then lowered his head slightly with a gloomy expression on his face, the Holy One suddenly felt amused, "If you love your cousin, you might as well take care of her and choose a good marriage for her."

Yuan Chun thought for a while, and told the truth, "If I can't be high, I can't be low, so what can I do... The cousin of the Xue family followed my cousin of the Lin family to the big family a few times, I am afraid that she will become more and more arrogant. gone."

In all fairness, Yuan Chun didn't like Baochai very much after hearing about Baochai's behavior from Rongfu's eyes and ears: as a merchant woman, her ambition is too lofty.

When Yuanchun told the Holy Majesty what he had said, Baochai would no longer have a chance at the royal family and the palace in Beijing, nor would he be able to have a concubine.

However, this is not a bad thing for Baochai... With Baochai's background, how can it be easy to stand up for marrying into a noble family?How can Aunt Xue and cousin Xue's family seem to be able to support Baochai?

In fact, it is really a good choice for Baochai to marry a humble scholar.When this scholar enters high school, Baochai will also be proud!

As a noble concubine, Yuan Chun can naturally choose a suitable life for Baochai... Really, just a few words from her are enough.

The Holy Majesty also nodded and said: "You are thoughtful."

In fact, because of Yuanchun's face, Concubine Shu wants to propose a marriage to Baochai... Marriage not only saves face but also benefits!

But Yuan Chun enlightened her with her own troubles, and the Holy Majesty fell asleep at least that night.

However, on Lin Hai's side... he had no choice but to pull his bright-eyed daughter-in-law to brainstorm: Why is the Supreme Emperor afraid of those old concubines.

Wang Chan can't gossip too much, but he is still very interested in the grievances and possible romantic affairs of the former wealthy family.

However, Lin Hai could still see that his wife seemed to lack a little respect for the Supreme Emperor... who do you think can give Wang Chan such an impression?

Thinking about it...is really "interesting".

As for Wang Ziteng plotting against him, Wang Chan and Lin Hai have the same opinion: just wait, Wang Ziteng will have to come to Lin Hai's "recommendation letter" in person and spend a lot of money in a few days.

The reason why it is not now is because Wang Ziteng took an errand to Daying in the suburbs of Beijing.
