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

This day, Jiamu sent someone to take Daiyu to the mansion again. Daiyu had pushed twice, so she had to go this time.

"I won't go with my sister," Lin Qingyun said.

Daiyu understood, even after many days, she was still a little annoyed: "My sister is so nice, but the second wife..."

As a junior, it is not easy to talk about elders, so Daiyu swallowed her words even though she was dissatisfied.In fact, she was very surprised when she heard that someone from the Jia family proposed to Lin Qingyun, and she was even more annoyed when she learned that it was for Jia Huan. Aunt Zhao always lives under Mrs. Wang's hands, even though she doesn't care about everything, she often feels that the life of her aunt and concubine is really difficult, but poor people also have hateful things, people don't know where to pity.

Daiyu went to Jia's mansion, and when Jia's mother saw her alone, she knew that Lin Qingyun was avoiding suspicion because of her proposed marriage earlier, so she couldn't help sighing.When Daiyu left, he specially ordered Yuanyang to send a wooden box, which contained a whole set of jade stone noodles, for Lin Qingyun.

Jia's mother again interviewed Lin Qingyun's planned marriage.

After springing that day, Lin Qingjun returned to the mansion and told Daiyu that the emperor intended to marry her. Daiyu was not as happy and envious as others heard it, but was full of worries like her father Lin Ruhai.The royal family is not easy to treat, what's more, although Prince Chun seems to be indifferent to the world, he has a body that may die of illness at any time. When Daiyu thinks of Li Wan's life as a widow, she becomes more and more frightened.

It's not easy for Lin Qingyun to tell her anything else, he just said that the emperor's order is hard to break, and it seems rough, but how can he know that it is not another vast sky.

Daiyu didn't understand what she meant, and she couldn't help a girl who hadn't left the cabinet in such a matter, so she could only leave it for the time being.

Seeing Mother Jia's probing now, Daiyu couldn't tell the truth, she just smiled and said: "My sister has indeed agreed on someone, I don't know who it is, my father told me about it, but I am not allowed to ask in detail. Dad said that the family has something to do for the time being, and when the matter is over, we will formally propose marriage and set a date, which should be this year."

"Then wait for your sister's good day to come. I will go to congratulate her personally and add makeup to her." Jia Mu also knew when she saw Daiyu. how.Based on Lin Ruhai's personality, Jia's mother guessed that the other party might be the concubine of her colleagues or subordinates. Such a marriage is decent, Lin Qingyun can be a regular wife, and with a generous dowry, it can be regarded as a father-daughter relationship. .

"Then I will thank my grandmother for my sister first!"

"Okay, don't make noise with my old lady, go and see your sisters, they are all looking at paintings in Baoyu's room."

"Yu'er likes to talk with grandma, I'm afraid it's because grandma dislikes Yu'er's noise. Yu'er has visited the sisters first, and will come to accompany grandma later." Daiyu got up and left.

Jia Mu leaned on the couch, squinting and thinking about something.Because of the marriage proposal, the alienated attitude of the Lin family became more and more estranged, and even Daiyu didn't come around much, so she had to find a way to mend it.

Jia's mother knew very well that it was best to attack Lin Qingyun, but if he didn't come, she had nothing to do.

Baoyu lived in Jiamu's Courtyard, not far away, but when Daiyu came over, she saw a commotion inside, all the sisters were standing outside, only Baoyu and the maids in the room were rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and the busy people turned their backs on their backs.Daiyu asked suspiciously, "Third sister, what are you doing?"

Tanchun and the others had already seen Daiyu, and rushed to greet her: "Sister Lin is here, it's all because of my second elder brother's trouble, and I forgot to pick up Sister Lin." It was because of a painting by sister Qingyun. Last time, sister Qingyun drew a portrait of Qingwen. Baoyu liked it very much when she saw it. She looked at it all day long, and even forgot the real person , It’s not to laugh people to death. The weather was bad a few days ago, my second and fourth sisters all caught a cold, and my sister Bao was also sick. Now that they are all cured, everyone is here, so I want to come and have a look at the painting. How do you know where the painting can’t be found?”

"It must be that Baoyu was careless and left it somewhere, and turned around and forgot." Daiyu is familiar with Baoyu's temperament, and she has done such things in the past. Go find it, let's sit in the old lady's room for a while."

Baochai laughed and said, "It doesn't matter what I say. If you lose something, you lose it. A painting is nothing more than a rare treasure. It's not worth so much effort. If the old lady knows it after a while and asks, she knows it's because of a girl." It’s probably not good if the portraits are so messed up.”

"Sister Bao is right, but in the eyes of the second brother, that painting is a rare treasure. If you can't find it now, why worry about it? Why would you listen to our persuasion?" Ignore it, and don't talk too much. If you talk too much, I'm afraid Baoyu will be annoyed.

After rummaging through the house, there was really no place to step down.

Xiren saw that Baoyu was sweating profusely, and his heart was sore and aching. He couldn't persuade him, so he had to ask him carefully: "Second master, think about it again, where did you put the painting you saw the day before yesterday?" ? Looking for it like a headless chicken, if the painting is not in the room, it is useless to turn the floor over."

Baoyu kept walking around, and still said in his mouth: "I don't throw such important things away. I put them away after looking at them every day, but I was a little sleepy yesterday. I put them on the desk and forgot about them afterwards. You are in charge of the place, who cleaned the table? Why are all the other things there, only the paintings are gone?"

The speaker has no intention and the listener intends, this is actually a suspicious attack.

Xiren was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned red: "Second Lord actually said that I am a thief. Why do I want a painting by Qingwen? I can't eat or drink, and I have no way to sell it. If you want to exchange money, I can, and I am not short of that money! I have been in the second master's house for so many years, and I have worked hard without credit, why didn't I get it, and today I am considered a thief!" Said He flung himself on the bed, covered his face and began to cry.

Baoyu was also stunned: "It's okay, I just said something casually, I didn't say you were a thief, why are you crying?"

Xiren is the most virtuous person, if in the past, he would never have done such frivolous acts, but it is true that Baoyu has possessed a painting these days, which makes Xiren very jealous and slightly jealous.Apart from having a better life, what is Qingwen better than her?Baoyu actually valued her so much that he even passed her. If things go on like this, wouldn't Baoyu lose her in his eyes?

This is what Xiren is most worried about.

There are many maids in Baoyu's house, each has its own advantages, and Baoyu is a sentimental person again, and Xiren has worked hard for many years, relying on carefulness, meticulousness, and an unknown intimacy, just now she has her current status, thinking that this is a lifetime The result is that because I have never crossed the road of understanding, I always worry about gains and losses.Baoyu likes Ms. Lin the most, and Qingwen has some of Ms. Lin's character. She has always regarded her as a serious problem in her confidant.

Qingwen, who had been furious because Baoyu had carelessly lost her portrait, opened the curtain and came in, sneering: "Second Lord, you don't want to look for any paintings, but I'm just a little maid, who's on the famous brand. Second Master should hurry up and coax Xi Ren's sister, if you annoy Xi Ren's sister, Second Master will not be able to eat or sleep."

"Why do you bother to say that?" Baoyu blushed with anger at both ends.

Sheyue came up and teased Qingwen quietly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Why are you trying to get angry with the second master, the second master is also in a hurry to find the painting. Actually, it quickly reminded the second master of where he lost it. How about being picked up outside? If this continues, the old lady will not be able to hide it, and the second wife will be annoyed when she finds out that Baoyu is making such a fuss."

Baoyu also heard these words, but he didn't dare to implicate the maids in the house, so he hurried to clean up the house.

At this time, a little girl suddenly said: "Sister Xiren ordered me to send a pack of things to Mingyan yesterday. It was very heavy, and it looked like a few books in it. Could it be that the painting was also put in it and sent out?" gone?"

Xiren had been listening, and when he saw the little girl say that, he got up immediately, and reprimanded with tears on his face: "Could it be that I'm blind, I can't see a picture like that. The books in the bag are all old. It was pretended, but it was sent by the second master to send me out, and I didn't clean it up, and I was afraid that the second master would not clean it up carefully, so I checked it myself, it was indeed a few books, and there were no paintings there."

But Baoyu had a glimmer of hope: "Maybe I was careless and mixed in, and you missed it again. It's possible. I'll ask!"

After talking, Baoyu ran away!

He borrowed those few books from Prince Beijing and sent them back yesterday, if the paintings were really stuck in them, it would not be a problem, just ask the prince.It is not so easy for Baoyu to go out, but fortunately, the name of the Prince of Beijing is very useful. When he heard that he was going to the Palace of the Prince of Beijing, Mrs. Wang immediately ordered someone to prepare a car.

In the end, Baoyu returned without success, and Prince Beijing did not see any portraits in the book. He was very curious about the portraits he mentioned, and asked Baoyu a lot of questions.Fortunately, Baoyu still remembers that a girl's boudoir name should not be easily told to others. She only said that the painting was made by a sister from a relative's family, and refused to mention more.

So far, the missing painting has become an unsolved case.

Daiyu went back and told Lin Qingyun, Lin Qingyun was also deeply surprised. As for the gift from Jia Mu, she could neither return it nor keep it.Before facing the water that night, Lin Qingyun found another word on the book case: The Supreme Emperor protects, and the Zhen family has changed.

Lin Qingyun sighed slightly after seeing it, thinking that it was not the time, and the Supreme Emperor was still here, so it was really not easy for the emperor to move the four kings, eight gongs, and old nobles.

On the eighteenth day, the imperial decree came to the Lin family——

[By God, the emperor's edict said: Today I heard that the adopted daughter of Lin Hai, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is intelligent, agile, graceful, dignified and graceful, and I and the queen love her very much. I especially refer to Prince Chun as the main concubine. get married.This! ]

Once the imperial decree came out, the capital was in an uproar!

Although the three members of the Lin family knew about the marriage, they were still shocked by the content of the imperial decree.

Getting married in August this year?Lin Qingjun is only 13 years old this year. Although it is not the case that there are [-] or [-]-year-olds who get married, it is a very special case. Usually, they get engaged first, and then ask for a date for marriage after the woman is mature.Furthermore, it usually takes a year for ordinary people to prepare for their marriage, but it is common for royal families to spend two or three years from the time of meeting to the preparation for marriage, so this marriage seems to be very hasty.If it weren't for everyone knowing that Prince Chun's royal family is still strong, everyone would think that Prince Chun had lost his sacred heart, which is why he was accused of a hasty marriage.After all, even though Lin Qingjun's crowned title was mentioned by the outside world as Lin Shangshu's adopted daughter, everyone knew that her father was only a scholar and had no family background at all.

There are also those who know more about the inside story, such as the princes and concubines, they think that Prince Chun's body can't stand it anymore, and the queen is celebrating for Prince Chun's marriage. After leaving the Guanyin Temple, no matter how concealed it is, people will still know it. Lin Qingyun must have a horoscope that matches the Prince Pure.The ancients got married to match the horoscopes of both the man and the woman, and they were even more particular about Chongxi, and ordinary fortunes were not worth it.

It has to be said that these people have guessed the truth unintentionally.

What the queen is most worried about is Prince Chun's body, and the doctor's diagnosis still rings in her ears all the time, so Miaoyu's words are undoubtedly life-saving straws, how can the queen give up.In order for the pure prince to live, the queen can agree with him to marry a little scholar's daughter as the princess, and can agree that he will no longer take concubines according to his will, so what criticisms can't be tolerated?Since Lin Qingyun was destined to bring blessings to those close to him, it would make the two of them get married early, and go in and out together every day as husband and wife to be intimate. Could it be that being a pure prince can't be good?

If it can't get better, it can be seen that Lin Qingyun is unlucky, and the death of a royal concubine is nothing.

Lin Qingyun guessed a little about the queen's thoughts, but it was understandable, but she was very reluctant to leave the Lin family soon.She lived in the Lin family for a total of two years. Except for being a bit restrained at the beginning, she became more and more comfortable in the future. This is also the reason why the Lin family has no female elders. She and Daiyu are the only two in the back house. call the shots.I am about to live in a strange place, even if I am calm on weekdays, I still feel a little nervous.

After the imperial decree, the queen gave two nuns from the palace to teach Lin Qingyun all the royal etiquette and rules, and to mention many taboos. The situation of the main concubines, princes and princesses in the palace, of course, most talked about the illness of the pure prince and daily care matter.

Now that the imperial decree has been issued and the wedding date has been set, the Lin family should prepare the dowry and other things.

Lin Ruhai is a big man, so it is easy to prepare for the big things, but he can't take care of the details, and Daiyu is a girl who has not left the court, and she is younger than Qingyun, so how can she intervene in the dowry.It stands to reason that the closest in-laws of the Lin family are the Jia family. When Jia's mother heard that Lin Qingyun was blessed to be a pure prince and princess, she was shocked and thought of the dowry, but Mrs. Xing was very stupid, and Mrs. Wang had always had a heart for the Lin family. She is a widow, and the You family in the East Mansion is even more useless, the entire Jia family can't afford anyone.Mother Jia thought of Wang Xifeng again. If Wang Xifeng was in the mansion, she would have to worry about such things.Lin Ruhai really didn't think about the Jia family at all, and directly prepared gifts and went to the dealer, asking the eldest wife of the dealer to help with the dowry.

The old lady of the Zhuang family was straightforward: "This is considered a happy event, and I will accept it for the eldest lady." She said to the eldest lady: "Leave the ones in the house for a while, or ask the second wife to help for a while. The dowry of the eldest daughter of the Lin family is important. Don't worry about it, you must do it well, and don't save money for Mr. Lin. I know that Mr. Lin loves his daughter very much, so he will not be stingy, and the Lin family is not short of that money." said the people in the room All laughed.

Lin Ruhai stood outside the screen and said with a smile: "What the old lady said is that this is the way to arrange marriages for children."

"Don't worry, old lady, I will handle it with my heart. If there is anything I don't understand, I will ask the old lady." The eldest lady agreed.

Mrs. Zhuang asked Lin Ruhai: "Why didn't Daiyu come? If you want me to say, you will send Daiyu to live for a few days. Now the eldest girl is very busy learning the rules. Giving a marriage decree is equivalent to accepting and asking questions before the wedding." Both Najib and Najib have passed, and the wedding will be in August this year. I am afraid that the Ministry of Rites will come to make a big engagement in a few days, and the return gifts needed for that day will have to be prepared, and there is no time. It is better to let the eldest girl concentrate on her work. For her, Daiyu comes to accompany me, an old man, we have many sisters, so we must not be bored with her."

"Then I would like to thank the old lady for being considerate. I will send Daiyu tomorrow." Lin Ruhai agreed after thinking about it, mainly thinking of Jia's family. It is better to send it to the dealer first.

The next day, Lin Ruhai really brought Daiyu over.Daiyu lived in the yard with the old lady in the Zhuang's house. Every day, she was very comfortable with her sisters, reading, writing, reciting poems and painting. Sometimes she went home to see her father and Lin Qingyun, and when Jiamu sent someone to pick her up Daiyu went there once but did not stay.Daiyu was naturally closer to Jia's mother in her heart, but Jia's mother always had a precious jade in front of her. Greeting the old lady every day is always at the wrong time, never abrupt.

That's all for Baoyu, since she grew up together, Daiyu knows Baoyu's temperament very well.It's just that the rules of Jia's family are negligent, the servants steal, rape, play tricks, deceive the superiors and conceal the truth, and there are no rules in their mouths. In contrast, the Zhuang family is much quieter, which made Daiyu deeply understand the scholarly family and the noble generals' family once again. difference.

Although the ancestors of the Lin family both started as military generals, after several generations, they have changed from martial arts to literature. Daiyu grew up in a scholarly family.

The Jia family is Daiyu's maternal ancestral home, and the sisters of the Jia family are all outstanding. Daiyu doesn't say anything, but she knows in her heart that the Jia family is in decline, but it is still holding on to the airs of the Duke's Mansion, and there are others who are different from top to bottom. Putting the court laws in your eyes, if the things you have done are revealed in the future, I am afraid that the Jia family will...

"Why is my sister so sad? Could it be that she is reluctant to part with your sister Qingyun?" Zhang Shiyu joked with a smile.

Daiyu said frankly: "I really don't want to part with it. I only got a good sister in just two years, and my sister is going to marry and go out. I can't wait to be with my sister for the rest of my life."

"But it's silly. A girl will go out one day when she grows up. Don't tell me that Sister Lin won't marry in the future?" Zhuang Shixiang giggled, and Daiyu stretched out her hand to pinch her face in annoyance. I don't want to part with Sister Lin, how about Sister Lin marrying into my family and being my sister-in-law?"

"You narrow-minded man, you're talking nonsense with this, see if I don't tear your mouth!" Daiyu blushed, and chased after Zhuang Shixiang reluctantly, laughing with tears in her eyes as she pressed on the chair and scratched Out.

The students Zhuang Shiyu, Zhuang Shiqing, and Zhuang Shiya all booed at the side: "That's a good idea. Sister Lin is a member of our family, but a sister for life."

Daiyu said angrily: "You are not good people! You only make fun of me. Since you said that girls will marry when they grow up, is it possible that you will not marry? Sooner or later, you will all separate."

"Oh, what are you talking about? It's so lively. I vaguely heard who is going to marry into our house as a daughter-in-law? Who is it? Hurry up and let me see." Mrs. Zhuang came in from the door at some time, As soon as he came in, he opened his mouth as a joke, and made Daiyu blush again, so annoyed that he didn't care about the old lady, stomped his feet, covered his face with a handkerchief, and ran away.

Seeing this, everyone in the room laughed again.

The old lady and the eldest lady exchanged a tacit look, and then they talked about the dowry list that Lin Ruhai prepared for Lin Qingyun, which was really rich.Although Lin Qingyun was going to marry into the prince's mansion as a princess, the dowry could not be cheap, even so, Lin Ruhai's preparations were extremely generous, even for her closest relative's daughter.

"If the betrothal gifts of the Ministry of Rites are in accordance with the clan rules, these are quite suitable." Although the eldest wife said so, she thought that Prince Chun was the only direct relative of the emperor and the empress, and she had been loved since childhood. Be rich when you get married.Since the princes have grown up, the Ministry of Rituals will prepare dowry and other things according to the rules, so even if the time is short, the things for the pure prince to get married are ready-made, and other things that need to be done now are not troublesome.

"It's easy to guess what Mr. Lin is thinking. Miss Lin is a righteous daughter. Apart from the Lin family, she has no relatives or friends. Mr. Lin prepared more dowry for her to give her some confidence in going to the Prince's Mansion. Pity the parents of the world. If Master Lin treats his adoptive daughter like this, he may not know what will happen when Daiyu gets married." The old lady smiled, glanced at the eldest lady and said: "Whoever can get Daiyu to be a wife is also a good fortune."

"The old lady's words are not wrong." The eldest lady also laughed, and seeing that the maids were not around, she said in a low voice: "Our master also has the same intention, and wants to seek employment for Mingjing, but our family is not what it used to be. It can't be compared to Master Lin's high position and weight in the heart of the emperor, so he only tried words, but Master Lin smiled and said nothing."

"I didn't refuse, but it's kind of interesting. I don't value the Lin family's dowry, but Daiyu's outstanding character. Few daughters in Manjing can match her, and she is a perfect match for Mingjing. Besides, the Lin family is a scholar. In the family, Lin Ruhai has always been a pure minister. His family style is upright and he has many connections. The Lin family has no heirs, so he will naturally help his son-in-law with all his strength in the future. It is not my utilitarianism. Our family is at a critical juncture, and we must be cautious when we get married. Although it is a bit taller, but relying on the face of the old lady, it may be possible to climb high." The old lady sighed, and said: "The key is that Mingjing must live up to expectations, who doesn't want their daughter to marry a young talent who is willing to make progress, just wait until August The Lixiang test is over, and Mingjing got a good rank, so I have the confidence to mention it to the Lin family."

The eldest lady nodded: "Master said the same thing. The master said that after two months, he would go back to his hometown. He would go there early to rest his energy, study his homework, and then visit his relatives and friends in his original place. Then it was time for the township examination. Today's article must be able to win, it only depends on the ranking."

The old lady mentioned that her eldest grandson's face was soft, and she also felt distressed: "Don't tire him too much, reading is not a day's work, don't get sick from being tired of reading."

The eldest lady smiled and said: "Old lady, don't worry, our children have been practicing martial arts since they were young, because they are afraid of the difficult exams. Ming Jing has been in good health since he was a child, and he has rarely suffered from illnesses in these years. Besides, he is the most sensible and takes care of his own affairs." It’s all right, there’s very little to worry about.”

"My eldest grandson is a rare one. Our family will just look at him." The old lady explained after thinking about it: "You don't need to tell him about the things with the Lin family, let him prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and talk about it after the exam."
