The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

In March, the spring is just right, Zhuang Shiyu is the Dongqi Poetry Club, and the next post invites Daiyu Qingyun and Jia Jia Sanchun and Baochai.Shi Xiangyun is the eldest girl of the Baolinghou's Mansion, Zhuang Shiyu had talked to the old lady at home in advance, and then prepared another post and sent it to the Baolinghou's Mansion.

It just so happened that Lin Ruhai was taking a rest today, seeing off his two daughters, and was about to go to the study to read a new book, but Uncle Fu came in with a strange expression: "Master, there is an official media who claims to be surnamed Zhu asking to see you."

"Official media?" Lin Ruhai was surprised, and then frowned.Although there are two daughters in his family, Qingyun has already been assigned to the royal family without major accidents, but Daiyu is still young, no matter whose family proposes marriage or who they are looking for, it makes him unhappy.

In any case, no one stopped the matchmaker from the door.

"Bring people in."

Mrs. Zhu's sister-in-law is quite well-known in the official media in the capital, but it is the first time she has entered the house of a first-rank official. Moreover, the marriage this time is very simple, so she is full of confidence. Received a generous thank-you gift, and his reputation became even louder.

"I have met Lord Shangshu, and I am overjoyed." Mrs. Zhu's sister-in-law smiled all over her face, and came in as a compliment.

Lin Ruhai looked at the brightly dressed matchmaker, the gold hairpins on her head and the gold bracelets in her hands, and her flattering expression, she was already displeased.Restraining his temper, he asked, "What's your business?"

Lin Ruhai has been an official for many years, and now he is in the first rank. He already has a strong official authority, and his face is serious, let alone a timid person. It was unavoidable that he felt frightened, and the flattering smile on his face could not help but restrain himself a little.

Mrs. Zhu's sister-in-law laughed and said: "My surname is Zhu. I have been an official matchmaker for more than ten years. I don't know how many beautiful marriages I have achieved. Today, I am here because I am entrusted by the old lady Jia of the Rongguo Mansion as the second room of the Rongguo Mansion." Mr. Jia Zheng's third son, Mr. Huan, proposed marriage to the eldest daughter of the family."

Lin Ruhai's expression changed immediately.

Lin Ruhai was not surprised that someone proposed marriage to Lin Qingyun. On the contrary, he knew very well that as the adopted daughter of a first-rank official, Lin Qingyun, who had just graduated from filial piety and was in her thirteenth year, was very popular.Not to mention Lin Qingyun himself, for those who like to cling, Lin Qingyun is a very good marriage partner, the concubine sons of officials of the third, fourth and fifth ranks, the sons of officials of the sixth and seventh ranks, and even the princes are very willing to be included in the mansion. It's not that no one had interviewed for the position of Concubine Concubine before, but he rejected them all.

Since the emperor revealed the meaning of marriage, he has become more cautious, but whenever he meets someone who inquires about Lin Qingyun, no matter what the other party thinks, he only says that he has already agreed with him.Unexpectedly, at the end, it was the Jia family who bumped into them first, and Jia's mother had this idea, and she didn't even ventilate beforehand.

Lin Ruhai became annoyed when he thought about it.Mother Jia's attitude showed that she never took Lin Qingyun to heart, thinking that Jia Huan must be worthy of Lin Qingyun, thinking that he would definitely agree.

Lin Ruhai almost laughed angrily.

Who is Jia Huan?The second concubine of the Jia family, not to mention three years younger than Qingyun, is only ten years old now, why did he propose marriage so early?Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart!Furthermore, as the son-in-law of the Jia family, Lin Ruhai knew that Jia Zheng had a concubine, but he had seen him only a handful of times, and he couldn't remember what kind of temperament he was, and Jia Zheng didn't necessarily care about it.What's more, the second room has a baby, Jia Baoyu, and a concubine, Mrs. Wang, so the situation of Jia's environment can also be imagined.He didn't like Jia's house in the first place, and he didn't want Daiyu to marry into Jia's family. When Jia's mother saw that Daiyu was not successful, she came to plot against Qingyun. How could it be that he, Lin Ruhai, didn't love his adopted daughter!

Mrs. Zhu's sister-in-law trembled when she saw that his face was not right, and she couldn't understand it. After all, in her opinion, the two families were related by marriage, and the identities of men and women were well matched. Yuanwailang's concubine is actually the woman's favorite.

"Lord Lin, the Third Master Huan..." Sister-in-law Zhu was about to boast, but her words were suddenly cut off.

"The Zhu official media don't need to talk about it!" Lin Ruhai was too lazy to listen to the other party's boasting and nonsense, and said directly: "The Lin family and the Jia family are related by marriage. If we really want to talk about marriage, the Jia family should communicate with the Lin family first. If we have communicated earlier , and I won’t bother Zhu’s official media for nothing.”

"What, Mr. Lin means..." Sister-in-law Zhu got offended when she heard this.

"This matter is not a secret. Our eldest daughter has already made an agreement with her. It's just because the man's family has something to do, so it hasn't been formally made yet. But the two families have already agreed, and they will come to propose marriage as soon as the man's family's affairs are settled. Officially ordered."

"This, what a coincidence." Mrs. Zhu's complexion was not good. She failed to propose a marriage, so it was difficult to explain to Jia's family. Moreover, these words sounded like evasive words.Sister-in-law Zhu couldn't help thinking, if the in-laws of the two families didn't talk to each other first, and the Lin family refused so politely, could there be some secrets behind them?

"Excuse Zhu's official media for a hard trip." Lin Ruhai greeted the guests with tea.

Sister-in-law Zhu had a lot to say, and seeing Lin Shangshu's power and influence, she didn't dare to say any more.After going out, Uncle Fu stuffed a purse in the past: "It's hard work for Zhu's official matchmaker, and our master will feel sorry for it. This right is counted as tea money for Zhu's official matchmaker. When I turn back, the old lady of the Jia family will also work for Zhu's official matchmaker." a."

Sister-in-law Zhu picked it up, the purse was very flat, she knew it in her heart, and she answered with a smile all over her face.After leaving Lin's mansion, he opened the purse and took out a silver note, 100 taels!

How generous!

Sister-in-law Zhu quickly put the banknotes close to her body, already thinking about how to get back to Jia's house.

When sister-in-law Zhu entered Jia's mansion, she didn't go to Jia's mother to go to the room, but went into the room of Mrs. Wang in Rongxitang.Sister-in-law Zhu had thought of a euphemism long ago, making it look like it was just a coincidence that the matter didn't happen. She thought that the second wife of the Jia family could do nothing but Mrs. Wang stared at Sister-in-law Zhu suddenly when she heard the words, It's not light.

Mrs. Wang withdrew her gaze, her face was still calm, as if it was just Mrs. Zhu who was dazzled just now.

"Since Miss Lin has already agreed on the marriage, I can only sigh that Huan'er is unlucky, so let's forget about it." Mrs. Wang held the Buddha beads in her hand, motionless as if she had fallen into a trance.

Jin Chuan sent the man out and handed him a silver ingot.

Sister-in-law Zhu couldn't help curling her lips when she saw it, but it was only 20 taels.If there is no Lin family to compare, 20 taels of hard work for nothing is really not a small amount, but who made the Lin family generous, Mrs. Zhu will not look down on such a small amount of money.Putting away the money, I kept this stingy second wife of the Jia family in my heart.

Just as Jin Chuan turned back to his room, he suddenly heard the sound of porcelain in the room, and quietly raised the curtain to take a look.Mrs. Wang was standing by the table with an angry face, a broken tea bowl on the ground, Mrs. Wang seemed to be cursing something, Jin Chuan could only vaguely hear the words "I don't know how to praise" and "Lin's family", and then thought of the person who had just left Zhu official media guessed a bit.

"Jin Chuan!" Mrs. Wang called out.

Jin Chuan hurried in, only to see his younger sister Yu Chuan squatting on the ground to pick up the broken porcelain pieces, and Zhou Rui's family comforted her.Mrs. Wang strictly ordered Jin Chuan and the others: "You are not allowed to speak out about today's events, and you are not allowed to mention the matter of Zhu's official media visit. If any rumors leak out, be careful!"

Jin Chuan and the others responded quickly.

It turned out that it was not Mother Jia's idea to go to Lin's family to propose marriage today, but Mrs. Wang made the decision without authorization.Last time, Mother Jia consulted with Mrs. Wang, but there was no suitable candidate after many choices. Finally, Mrs. Wang said Jia Huan herself.Jia's mother was not satisfied. Firstly, Jia Huan was too young, and secondly, although his status was worthy, Jia Huan's behavior was wretched and was misbehaved by Aunt Zhao. How could he get it?Jia's mother's marriage with the Lin family is not about enmity, she has to be matched with someone who can see past, so she talked to Mrs. Wang to see.Mother Jia thought, if there is really no other candidate, she will give Jia Huan to Jia Zheng to teach him well, and then bring him to Lin Ruhai to ask about poetry and prose, and then the marriage will come naturally.

Originally, Mrs. Wang also agreed with Jia Huan to marry Lin Qingyun. She was Jia Huan's aunt and would be Lin Qingyun's serious mother-in-law. She had the final say on how to decide.As long as she suppresses Jia Huan and keeps Lin Qingyun in check, then the Lin family's support will be Baoyu's.

I don't know why, two days ago, Jia's mother suddenly changed her mind and wanted to assign Lin Qingyun to Baoyu as the second wife!Mrs. Wang hated the Lin family very much, how could Lin Qingjun be allowed to flirt with her Baoyu, even if she was a child!What if it was just Mother Jia's plan to wait for her sister to come in and marry Daiyu as his wife in two years?No, with her sister in the middle, wouldn't Baoyu miss Lin Daiyu all her life!

Madame Wang got angry and went over Jia Mu to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Lin family on Jia Huan's behalf, but the Lin family was unwilling.

"Ma'am, the old lady sent someone to invite you over."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang immediately changed her clothes and went to the room, but as soon as she entered the yard, she saw the girls were all outside, but the surroundings were quiet, and she didn't hear any anger.Mrs. Wang paused, and looked at the mandarin duck who was breaking the curtain, but the mandarin duck shook her head: "The old lady asks the second wife to go in alone."

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to go in.

As soon as she entered the room, a tea bowl was thrown at her face. Mrs. Wang avoided it and was hit right on the ground, and she was very embarrassed when she was splashed with warm tea.Mrs. Wang knelt down, ashamed, anxious, angry and annoyed, but she didn't dare to attack because the other party was Jia's mother. She just suppressed tears with red eyes, and pleaded guilty to Jia's mother with trembling lips: "I don't know what my daughter-in-law did wrong. It made the old lady so angry, the old lady just teaches her daughter-in-law not to get angry."

There is already a question in this sentence.

Mrs. Wang has been serving Mother Jia for so many years, and she asks herself if she is not thoughtful, meticulous, or filial. What's more, now that her daughter is a noble concubine, she is already the mother of a noble concubine, but she is shamed like this, even though there is no third person in the house. , still embarrassing her extremely, Zi swelled up.

Jia Mu's voice was different from before, her face was very cold and serious, her sharp eyes almost pierced Mrs. Wang's skin.Seeing that Mrs. Wang still had the guts to question her, she sneered and said, "Mrs. Wang, I'm not dead yet! What did I say earlier? I said that I would talk to the Lin family first before proposing marriage. But you went directly to the official media to propose a marriage, and now the Lin family rejected it, do you have a good face?"

Mrs. Wang's expression changed, and she cursed secretly who didn't know which ear god told Jiamu the news, but she thought of Jiamu's idea, and she was confident: "The old lady only asked me why I proposed marriage, but didn't say why you changed your mind." And wept.Mrs. Wang is already in her fifties, no matter how well she takes care of herself, she is old. Normally, she is a benevolent official wife, but at this moment, she is crying and complaining, her hair is messed up, her clothes are wet, and her face is full of tears. It also took flowers, and with a head full of tea, it was indescribably bleak. "Baoyu is my lifeblood, the direct son and grandson of the Jia family. The old lady has loved him for so many years, and even the Xue family doesn't care about him, but she has her eyes on the adopted daughter of the Lin family. What kind of adopted daughter is just saying It sounds nice, but it has nothing to do with the Lin family. She is just a girl born in the countryside. How can she be worthy of my Baoyu? Even the ration ring has wronged him. If I have such a daughter-in-law, how can I have the face to go out and socialize? Master is ashamed to be an official, and our family should not go out! Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law is really unwilling."

When Jia Mu heard this, she was both angry and funny. Seeing that she was still crying, she looked so ugly, she disgusted and impatiently shouted: "Okay! Fortunately, you were born as the second wife of the family. You are the second wife at this age. It’s not embarrassing! Crying in front of me, are you cursing me or blaming me? Mrs. Wang, I just ask you, who said I changed my mind? Who said I’m going to tell Baoyu about her? You have always been prudent and considerate, but now you are so reckless and confused? You know that her identity is not worthy of even Huaner, so how can you be worthy of Baoyu? Could it be that my love for Baoyu all these years is fake?"

Mrs. Wang's voice paused, and Jia's mother's words were like enlightenment. Mrs. Wang had realized it at this time, and she felt a little guilty when she spoke again: "Daughter-in-law heard that the old lady is going to tell Baoyu to be her second wife."

"Confused!" Jia's mother was even more annoyed: "Why don't you think about it carefully, how old is Baoyu? You are full of calculations, and your 12th birthday has not yet passed. Even if you really want to discuss marriage, you must marry a regular wife. How can there be a regular wife before going through the door?" What about the second room? Even the people in the room have to keep it in secret. You have been a housekeeper wife for so many years, and you are living more and more! It's even worse!"

Mrs. Wang was taken aback, and finally came to her senses.

That's right, Baoyu didn't say anything about the second-bedroom grandma, how could it be possible?A family like them has their own rules, how can it be messed up.At that time, why did she just listen to the girls' nonsense and believe it?

Mrs. Wang's face turned red, and this time she sincerely apologized: "Old lady, I was confused by the lard, and lost my head when Baoyu was involved. The old lady forgives the daughter-in-law once, and the daughter-in-law will not dare again."

"I'm afraid the Lin family will be annoyed now!" Mother Jia was so angry that her chest hurt.In traditional marriage matters, the two families would communicate first before proposing marriage, and the woman's family agreed to the man's proposal. Today, the Jia family's reckless behavior is probably the first in the capital.What's even more exasperating is that Wang asked a matchmaker to propose a marriage under her banner!

Mother Jia has never been so ashamed in her life!
