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

At the beginning of winter, Tanchun and Baoyu went out to mourn, and Daiyu went to welcome the spring.

Three days later, the two households of the Jia family moved separately.Dafang's new house is in Xicheng, and the spacious three enter the big courtyard, so it is convenient for Jia Lian to go on duty.The second-bedroom house is in the east city, and the house is not small, but it is not as good as the west city where rich and powerful gather, and the east city is mostly rich merchants.As soon as he settled down, the guards came to the door to take Jia Zheng away.

Both Zhou and Zhao's aunts were in tears, Jia Huan was at a loss, and Tan Chunhong had eyes, but Baoyu looked very calm.As for Li Wan's mother and son, Li Wan is the daughter-in-law, and she stayed indoors to avoid taboos. Jia Lan was thirteen or fourteen years old, and she studied poetry and books under the supervision of Li Wan since childhood, but now she has lost her official career due to family changes. Not only Li Wan was sad and desperate, but Jia Lan, who was in her youth, was hit hard.Now that he came to see off Jia Zheng, Jia Lan's thoughts were complicated, his eyes turned red, but he didn't know whether to cry for Jia Zheng, or for himself and his mother.

The big house, Jia She, also came over. The two houses have been fighting for many years. Now, Jia She can't help but sigh: "Second brother, don't worry, Baoyu is up to the challenge. I will help you take care of the family. You just take care of yourself. If in the future You will be able to come back if the imperial court grants amnesty."

"Brother, please trouble me." Jia Zheng was also choked up, but he knew that he might not have a chance to come back in this life.It's not that he is charged with too many crimes, but because the place of exile is extremely bitter, it is a blessing to be able to arrive safely all the way, how many years can he live in such a place?He is already this age.

"Father, don't worry, you will be fine." Across the curtain, Tanchun only said this sentence, others thought it was words of comfort, but only she knew that this was what Chengjun Palace promised her.

Jia Zheng sighed, wiped away his tears, turned and left.

As soon as Jia Zheng left, the males in the family were Baoyu and Jiahuan brothers, the first generation of Jialan. In terms of age, Baoyu should be the head of the family.Tanchun was worried that Baoyu didn't understand common affairs at first, but after two days, he found that Baoyu was doing things in an orderly manner. He should have been gratified and happy, but he felt very uneasy for some reason.

Li Wan was supposed to take care of the inner house, but Li Wan said he was unwell and pushed it away, so Tanchun took it over without thinking too much.

Xiangyun lives with the second room, and has a separate courtyard just like the Xue family back then, and all the daily expenses are paid by himself.Although Xiangyun and Shijia's aunt no longer communicate, but she is a girl who lives in a separate courtyard, and she has a second room to rely on and Tanchun as a companion.Xiangyun doesn't have any real estate or land, and the shops she bought for her marriage are all gone. Although she has some money in her hand, she still understands the principle of sitting on the mountain and eating nothing.She wants to start a business, but no one can take care of her. There were a few maids around her, but when the Shi family had an accident, the house was confiscated and sold. It was Wang Xifeng who was careful and bought the big maid, Cui Ling, and later made it up again. There is a little girl named Fei'er.Now their masters and servants do some needlework every day, and they plan to buy some land or shop floor, ask Baoyu to help them take care of it, and then find the right person to buy it and take care of it.

Xiangyun ran out of needlework after working in the house for two days, so he came out to talk to Tanchun, but he saw Tanchun standing motionless by the window with frowning eyes. "What is the third sister thinking?"

"Sister Yun is here." Tanchun sighed, "I was thinking of my second elder brother. Originally, my second elder brother was so stable and organized his affairs, so I should be happy. , something always seems to happen.”

"Third sister thinks too much, second brother is very sensible now, and those problems in the early years have all changed." Xiangyun comforted her with a smile, but he was also suspicious in his heart.

After all, she had known Baoyu since childhood, and they knew each other very well. She was very surprised by Baoyu's sudden change.It's just that she was only happy before, and because several family members had accidents one after another, she didn't have time to think about it. Now when Tanchun mentioned it, she also faintly had an ominous premonition.

The two sisters paid attention to Baoyu's every move, but saw him coming in and out every day, busy with family affairs.After all, the Jia family still has some property. In the accident, only Mrs. Wang's private property was confiscated. Although there is little money in the official business, Jia Zheng has his own private house.Later, Jia Mu divided the private house, one hundred thousand silver and many antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, land stores, etc., as the most beloved grandson, Baoyu not only got thirty thousand silver, antique calligraphy and painting, but also two Zhuangzi, totaling ten or so. Hectares of land, each year's single interest rate can't be used up.Later, Jia Zheng took care of the funeral affairs of the family. As the first son, now the eldest son of the second room, Baoyu also got the first share.

The two thought that Baoyu was busy taking care of these things, and they relaxed after observing for a few days.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Concubine Gao of the Prince's Mansion of Chengjun came to the door suddenly, and the two aunts, Zhou and Zhao, were not allowed to appear on the stage, and only Li Wan came out to entertain them.Concubine Gao saw that although Li Wan was a widow and dressed soberly, he was born in a scholarly family and was once the daughter-in-law of the grandson of the Duke's mansion. Well, that kind of widowhood can't dissipate no matter what, it's really unpleasant to look at.

Thinking of the purpose of coming here this time, Concubine Gao didn't exchange too many greetings, and nodded to the mother beside her.

This nanny's surname is Sun, she is Gao's nanny, and also her first-class confidant.Seeing the master's gesture, he said to Li Wan: "Grandma Zhu, our side concubine is here for the third girl of your family. Our county king has a crush on the third girl and wants to hire the third girl as a concubine. Sixteen is a good day , our county palace will send someone to pick us up."

Li Wan was completely stunned, the county palace wanted the third girl to be a concubine, it was so weird and shocking that it ignored the "overbearing" of the county palace.

Grandma Sun said: "This matter is a little urgent, but our county king really likes the third girl, and wants to welcome the door before the year, otherwise we will have to wait for better days and it will be next year. Ying clothes, jewelry, etc. They are all ready, here is the gift list, the king of the county attaches great importance to the third girl, and will not wrong her."

After speaking, the people in the county palace got up and left. Concubine Gao didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and she didn't even drink the tea from Jia's family.

Li Wan looked at the bright red boxes in the room, and then at the gift list in his hand, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Once upon a time, I thought that the girl at home would go to someone else's concubine. She was said to be the concubine of the county prince's mansion, but it was just a nice name for a concubine. Just by looking at the actions of the county prince's mansion today, I knew, how could the other party think highly of their Jia family?It turns out that as soon as the goods are delivered, the person will be notified of a day to pick them up, and the matter will be over, just like going to the street to buy things, the money and the goods will be paid, and it will be straightforward.

At the same time, Li Wan was also suspicious, even though their family was not as ruined as before, but the big house, Jia Lian, was still an official, and there were relatives from the Lin family, how could the Chengjun Palace be so overbearing?Although the concubine can do business, the woman's family must be willing to do it. Their family can't afford to offend the county prince's mansion, so it doesn't mean they have to swallow their breath and send the girl to be a concubine.

It happened that Baoyu was not at home today, but the news spread very quickly, and Aunt Zhao's mother and son came as soon as the people from the county palace left.

With joy on her face, Aunt Zhao asked as she swept through the large boxes in the house, "Grandma, I heard that the county prince's mansion has taken a fancy to the third girl of our family? Are these for the third girl?"

The Jia family was defeated. It would be a lie to say that Aunt Zhao was not sad. After all, she used to be the mansion of the Duke, and her family had a lot of property.But now the most successful one is Aunt Zhao.Mrs. Wang is gone, no one is in charge, and Jia Zheng has left again. As Aunt Zhao, who has a son and a daughter who are all by her side, it is definitely time to feel proud.The things that Aunt Zhao did were not big or small, and Li Wan couldn't see them and simply let go of them. After all, Tanchun is now in charge of internal affairs, and the mother and daughter are often angry.

Li Wan glanced at Aunt Zhao's happy expression lightly, and said: "The Duke of Chengjun has taken a fancy to the third girl, and wants to welcome the third girl as a concubine. Sixteen will come to pick her up."

"So fast? I was still worried about the third girl, but who knows that the third girl is blessed." Aunt Zhao is a foolish person, she only thinks that the king of Chengjun is a serious prince, and her natal Qi family is also prosperous. That's right, although concubines are concubines, they are different from ordinary concubines, and may be promoted to side concubines in the future.After all, the high side concubine of the Chengjun Prince's Mansion was promoted to the position of concubine concubine.So at the moment, although I feel that the county prince's mansion is too eager to act, but it is a rare good marriage, and I am so happy from ear to ear, I immediately went to congratulate Tanchun.

Seeing Aunt Zhao sighing like this, Li Wan thought that Tanchun had always had a plan, so he took the gift list to see Tanchun, and sent someone to Xicheng to inform the big house.

At this time, news was also received in the inner house. As the person concerned, Tanchun just sat quietly and copied poems and books, but Shi Xiangyun was annoyed: "Chengjun's palace is too bullying! I'll go find sister Lin!"

"Sister Yun, stop." Tanchun called her to stop.

After Xiangyun's righteousness, seeing her calm face all the time, as if she wasn't the one who went through this incident, she couldn't help being stunned: "Third sister, is it possible that you are willing to be a concubine?"

Tanchun smiled wryly: "Sister Yun, what good marriage can I choose now? The county palace thinks highly of me and is willing to welcome me as a concubine. It is already an honor."

Xiangyun didn't expect her to say such words, and was speechless for a while.

Just at this time, Aunt Zhao came in with a happy face, and she opened her mouth to congratulate: "Congratulations to the third girl, great joy! Great joy! After all, my third girl has a fortune. She will enter the county prince's mansion in the future, stay for a few years, and add a daughter and a half." Don't worry about it, daughter. I have raised you and Brother Huan for ten years. It's not easy. Now that you have a good place to live, don't forget to give your brother a hand in the future..."

"What is Auntie talking nonsense about!" Tan Chun blushed, not out of shame, but out of anger.Originally, it was not what she wanted to be a concubine, and her mother was already sad when she came to congratulate her, so she said something to drag her brother.Tanchun thought deeply for a while, and couldn't help crying with his face covered with a veil.

Both Xiangyun and Li Wan who rushed over thought she was sad because she was about to enter the county palace, so they all persuaded her.

Li Wan said: "Third Miss, don't worry, there are still a few days left, there may be room for change."

Tanchun cried for a while, then wiped away his tears and redressed his makeup, but said to several people: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, I must go to this county palace."

"Third sister, what are you afraid of, even the county prince's mansion can't force people..."

"Sister Yun." Tanchun cut off her words and only said: "If I go to the county prince's mansion, maybe the master will be able to come back. In the future, Second Brother, Brother Huan, and Brother Lan may all be able to study and take exams again."

As soon as Jia Zheng was involved, it was hard for them to say anything, and when they talked about the future of their nephews, it hit them hard. Not to mention Aunt Zhao, who was already in agreement, even Li Wan was silent.After all, Xiangyun was not from Jia's family, and there was nothing he could do except to be anxious at this time.

Tanchun couldn't reveal the truth to them, and he couldn't tell them, but seeing the expressions of everyone, he felt more and more that this road must be taken.

The news spread to the eldest room that Wang Xifeng happened to be chatting with Ping'er at home, and playing with the children in front of her.Ping'er had a baby girl at the end of last year, and the due date was supposed to be in the first month of the month, but because of the busy Chinese New Year, Ping'er went back to Sister Feng because of a sudden thought, and slipped on the steps, although she was helped by the maid in time Yes, the fetal gas was moved in the end.Fortunately, the fetus has been well-raised. The third sister was born not thin, but also healthy. Now the baby she raised is no different from a full-term baby.

Ping'er is quite satisfied now. Although she has a son who can take care of her parents, if she had to choose between "Huan Ge'er" and "Tan Chun", she would rather raise a girl like the third girl.Ping'er has always admired Tanchun's shrewdness and ability, not inferior to Sister Feng's. He was really surprised to hear the news at first.

"Why did Chengjun's mansion think of asking for the third girl?" Even though Ping'er was often in the mansion, she knew something about the affairs of the mansion outside.Even a concubine who enters the Prince's Mansion of Chengjun has a family background, let alone the third girl's family background, not only the Jia family was defeated, but also the third girl's aunt was beheaded, and her father was exiled. Most people are unwilling to get married.

Wang Xifeng also didn't understand: "If it is said that the county prince's mansion wants the third girl, there must be a plan, but what can the third girl have? Although the concubine is just talking nicely, she is better than ordinary concubines. Back then, the high side concubine was the concubine. At that time, his father was the chief executive, but this is the concubine with the lowest family background. Although our second master is a fifth-rank official, the place in the Ministry of Industry is really limited. Although the Lin family is relatives, it is actually far away, let alone The dealer. Besides, Princess Chun is the adopted daughter of the Lin family, so if she wants to get close, the Lin family will naturally get close to Prince Chun's mansion, and our family must choose Prince Chun."

Ping'er smiled and said: "Hasn't our family already chosen? Grandma is now taking care of Changtai Garden for Princess Chun. Outsiders can see that our family is already in the line of Prince Chun."

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "That's right. But it's not my power. Nowadays, every family is the same. Why don't you choose the prince who is honored and favored, but choose to be the king of the county? Even I know How many times has the emperor reprimanded the king of Chengjun for his recklessness?" He said and shook his head: "Such things should not be said, the second master often tells you not to get too close to anyone, but this time the matter of Changtai Garden is The second master acquiesced. Outsiders would not think that it was the pure prince who wanted to win over our second master, but they would think that we were clinging to the Chun prince's mansion. After all, the second master has a low official position and a small position, which is really inconspicuous in this capital."

Ping'er said: "Although the past was really good, but now I feel at ease. Our family has gone through a lot. Brother Kui and a few sisters are young, so they can't bear to be scared."

"It's true. Seeing the second master's appearance as an official now, it's really cute." Wang Xifeng said, her face flushed slightly, and she laughed.

Ping'er is an aunt and a confidant of Wang Xifeng, when she saw her say that, she joked: "Second master treats grandma very well now, grandma is not the same as before."

"Everyone has to change." Wang Xifeng sighed, "It's like you. If you followed my previous behavior and temper, how could I allow you to be the second master's serious aunt? Let alone give birth to the third sister. This is also you. I'm just telling the truth, even now I sometimes feel sore in my heart, but what can I do? The second master is a flirtatious person, the Wang family is gone, and I have a son and a daughter... Forget it, it's also very difficult nowadays. alright."

Ping'er couldn't answer it anymore, so he changed the topic back: "The matter about the third girl..."

"I'll go and have a look."

Wang Xifeng went there the next day, and after a few words of persuasion, Tanchun failed to change his mind, and even Li Wan and the others remained silent.Xiangyun said what Tanchun said yesterday, only then did Wang Xifeng understand, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, she stopped talking.

Just as he was about to leave, he remembered that he hadn't seen Baoyu, so he asked Xiangyun.

Xiangyun shook his head: "Second brother came back yesterday and learned that Chengjun Palace had come, so he went to talk to third sister. Second brother also didn't agree with third sister entering the county palace, but third sister was determined, and second brother finally came out. At that time, my complexion was very ugly, and I lost my mind. The second elder brother went out early this morning, and he didn’t know where he went. If there are too many, she will get annoyed, and she dare not ask any more."

Hearing Xiren's name, Wang Xifeng thought of something.

When Mrs. Wang was there, she mentioned the Xiren's monthly bill, and Xiren took the aunt's bill, but didn't show off with wine in a serious way.Everyone has the habit of letting their grown-up brothers live in the house, but before we get married, we have to pay attention to it. How can we have an upright aunt first?

Baoyu is nineteen, and now it is the end of the year, and he will be twenty in the next year, so we have to hurry up and make a kiss.

Daiyu Yingchun knew about Tanchun, and they all came to persuade her, but they all returned in vain.Baoyu only asked about it on the first day, but he didn't pay attention after that, and was still busy with his own affairs.

On the sixteenth day of the winter month, Chengjun Prince's Mansion sent a pink sedan chair to pick up Tanchun from Jia's house.

The king of Chengjun accepts concubines, sets wine and sings operas, invites a few brothers, and close officials give gifts and congratulations, which is also lively.Lin Qingyun and Tu Yan also accepted the post. If it was another place, Lin Qingyun really wouldn't go, but this time it was different.Tu Yan went to the front to attend the banquet, while Lin Qingyun sat with the female relatives of various families.

As early as that day when Concubine Gao of the Prince of Chengjun came to Jia's house, many people in the capital kept their eyes on them, and everyone was suspicious.The Jia family was defeated, and even if they wanted the third girl from the Jia family, they would not be able to contact anyone useful. Everyone knew that compared to the Jia family, the Lin family was closer to the Pure Prince's Mansion.What's more, the third girl of the Jia family has such a mother and father, and she almost became the son and concubine of Nan'an, which is equivalent to a category with a bad reputation, so the Chengjun Palace's move clearly has ulterior motives.

As soon as I was seated during the banquet, I heard Princess Sujun ask Zhen's: "Your house is really lively, there are newcomers every year, but why did you fall in love with the girl from the Jia family this time? It's not that their girl is bad. Nan'an Palace has something to do with it, and your family doesn't shy away from it."

Mrs. Zhen sat like a bell, her voice flat and dull: "It's all in the past. Besides, the Jia family might not have been willing at that time, but now that the third girl comes into our house, the Jia family is willing. As for what is taboo or not, As the third siblings said, Miss Jia is good, this is the most important thing."

But listening to Princess Dingjun said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the three girls of the Jia family have experienced ups and downs, and being able to come to your house is a reward for all hardships. It is a happy event. In the past, the Zhen family and the Jia family were old friends. Now you can come to your house together." It can be seen that it is also fate. It reminds me of Concubine Zhen Shun, when the Jia family also had a lady in the palace."

Princess Sujun covered her mouth and smiled when she heard the words, but felt it was indecent, so she hurriedly drank tea to cover it up.

Zhen's face also changed, not only because Princess Dingjun mentioned dead people, but also because of the insinuations in her words, which made Zhen very angry, and she couldn't get angry.Zhen's eyes were cold, but her voice was still flat: "Sister-in-law be careful, how can you and I talk about the empress in the palace?"

Princess Dingjun smiled: "It's because I forgot my shape, I shouldn't have said this. We are here to congratulate you, so bring the newcomer here and let us have a look. I heard that the girls of Jia's family are all very good. I want to see it with my own eyes today."

Mrs. Zhen ordered to her side: "Go and ask Concubine Jia Shu to come over."

Concubine Sujun turned her head and said to Lin Qingyun: "I heard that the seventh younger siblings are very familiar with this concubine Jia Shu. They used to walk around together. I don't know what their temperament is?"

Ignoring what the other party said, Lin Qingjun replied: "Sister-in-law San will know what her temperament is like when she sees it. As the saying goes: what you hear is what you see, what you see is what you see."

The princess of Xiangjun is a very easy-going person. Every time she encounters a few people playing tricks, she just sits silently on the sidelines and doesn't talk to her. Normally, no one finds fault with her.But today, Princess Sujun didn't know what happened, and she took the initiative to ask Princess Xiangjun: "I heard that a group of people have been released from your mansion recently? For no reason, so many people have gone, can the mansion be enough?"

Princess Xiangjun was startled at first, and then hurriedly replied with a smile: "It's not for no reason, the people who served around me were all old, especially the girl's family couldn't afford to delay, so they were released to be provided by the family. "

"They are all served by your side?" Su Jun Wangfei looked comprehended, but said disapprovingly: "Eighth younger siblings, listen to my advice, don't do such things again in the future."

"What does the third sister-in-law mean?" Princess Xiangjun didn't understand.

Lin Qingyun frowned, feeling that Princess Sujun had played a trick on Princess Xiangjun.

Sure enough, Sujun Wangfei said: "We are all women, I don't know what you think, but we are already the princess of the county, we can't ruin our reputation by doing stupid things, even the king of the county thinks you are jealous."

"Where do you start?" Shanju is the enemy of the mistress, no one can bear such a reputation, so the princess of Xiangjun blushed suddenly, and she couldn't speak easily.After all, the princess of Xiangjun has always been low-key and young, and she is not enough to look good in front of several county kings and wives. Even if Li Wanpin has taught her a lot, it is still too late.

Sujun Wangfei said: "If you want to let people go out, it's fine, but all the servants around you have gone out, what do others think? Who doesn't know what the dowry girls do in the past? Besides, I heard that your house The person who was a good girl in the house will be gone? Even if you don’t like it, you should be more cautious after all, it’s not good to see people’s lives come to blows.”

"Sister-in-law three..." Princess Xiangjun's face turned pale, and she didn't know what to say when she wanted to explain.Where did she let everyone around her out?What's more, the girl in the house was originally served by the county king. She never touched her hands to avoid taboos, and the affairs before and after were handled by the county king himself. Why did it spread that she was jealous and couldn't tolerate others?

Of course, what Princess Xiangjun doesn't understand is why Princess Sujun wants to target her?
