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

During the Chinese New Year, Lin Qingyun was always thinking about the news of Xichun, and calculated according to the month, Xichun should give birth, but he didn't receive the letter until after the Lantern Festival.Xi gave birth to a daughter on the third day of the first lunar month in spring and winter. Because of the busyness of the year and the heavy snow blocking the way, I have not received the letter until now.

Lin Qingyun hurriedly prepared the congratulatory gift, and prepared a portion for Daiyu.Although it is not known that Daiyu gave birth to a boy or a girl, the congratulatory gifts are not much different.As a result, two months later, I received a letter from Daiyu, and learned that Daiyu had added a daughter. Zhuang Li named her daughter Zhuang Mi, which was the same as his brothers' names.

At the end of February, someone came to announce the good news. It turned out that Liu Chuanwen, Baochai's husband, had been selected as a Gongsheng student. Although the ranking was in the middle and lower reaches, it was really a happy event.Lin Qingyun sent someone to give congratulatory gifts. When he came back, he said that the Liu family was very lively today. The Zhuang family, the Jia family, the Liu family, the Qi family, the Xue family, etc. all went to congratulate him. Grandma Liu came and went to socialize, accompanied by fourteen A five-year-old delicate girl.

Lin Qingjun guessed that it was a girl from the Liu family, and Baochai also mentioned that the girl from the Liu family had already made a marriage proposal. She was a classmate of Liu Chuanwen back then, and she also participated in the exam this year. She was richer than the Liu family.The Liu family's mother and the girl went to Beijing with them, and it was because of this marriage that they were engaged after a general examination.

In the palace examination in April, Liu Chuanwen won [-] Jinshi and [-] Jinshi. Liu Chuanwen's ranking was really low, and he was awarded the same Jinshi.Except for one and three people who went to the Hanlin Academy according to the old routine, the rest had to wait for officials to be dispatched. Every year, the number of official positions was limited, and those with background and connections wanted to find a good place, but those with no background and low ranking like the Liu family had the most difficult time. There is no chance to wait for several years.

Baochai was worried about this.

Among the people Baochai knows, the Pure Prince's Mansion is undoubtedly the most important, and the matter of finding an official is just a trivial matter for the other party, but she has a shallow relationship with Lin Qingyun, if the other party refuses to help when she comes to the door rashly, it will not even be possible in the future. It's hard to move around.The two households of the Jia family were separated, and their Xue family and the second household were relatives, and they were executed for the crime of giving birth to Mrs. Wang. As the aunt of the family, she would undoubtedly burden the daughter of the family. As Mrs. Wang's niece, she was often picked on when talking about marriage.The only person in the Jia family who is capable is Jia Lian, but Baochai knows that Jia Lian can't be left as an official. If Daiyu is in the capital, she can ask for it. Now...

After weighing the matter, Baochai went to see Tanchun first.

As sisters, it is inevitable to talk about this year's situation, and cry while talking, each with his own sadness.After a while, Tanchun wiped his tears and said with a smile, "it's rare for Sister Bao to come to see me, why don't you bring brother?"

Baochai said: "He is still young, and the weather has not been very good these two days. I was afraid that he would catch a cold, so I didn't dare to take him out." Then he said: "I heard that His Highness treats you very well, but in a year or so, maybe there will be Good news."

Tanchun's expression darkened when he heard the words: "It's not that easy."

Tanchun did not elaborate on this.Since learning the truth, Tanchun cheered up after a period of depression. Tanchun is not a person who accepts his fate, especially with Gao's contacts in his hands, it is very cheap to do things.She quietly invited a good doctor again, even if the doctor said that the hope was slim, she was unwilling to give up, and now she prepared the medicine in private and drank it slowly.

"I haven't congratulated Sister Bao in person yet. I heard that your uncle has won a Jinshi." Tanchun is a smart person, and he knows that Baochai's visit must be something. Then I guessed a few points.

Sure enough, Baochai sighed: "Although I am happy to be selected, I am also worried. My ranking is not very good, and I have no connections in my family. I just wait for the imperial court to send officials. I don't know when it will be. There is no way. I can only ask my third sister for help."

"Me?" Tanchun sighed softly, and did not lie to her: "If it were me, I would naturally be willing to help, but Sister Bao also knows my identity, and there is no limit to how good your Highness treats me. Why doesn't Sister Bao ask for help?" Lian's second sister-in-law? Now that Lian's second elder brother has a smooth official career, he is close to Prince Chun's mansion, and Lian's second sister-in-law is even closer to Chunqin's concubine. It will not be difficult for Sister Bao to beg her."

Baochai smiled and said nothing.

When Baochai first came to Beijing last year, Baochai went to the Jia family's big house, but Wang Xifeng's attitude was indifferent. This time their uncle was awarded a Jinshi, and the big house just arrived for the ceremony, but not yet.Later, she inquired quietly and found out that Jia She and his wife in the big house angered their Xue family. It turned out that Wang Xifeng treated her coldly because Jia Lian didn't like the husband's family where the girl from the Liu family was betrothed.

The girl from the Liu family was betrothed to a family named Zhan. Zhan's father seemed to be a low-ranking official, not very prominent in Beijing, but the daughter of Zhan's elder brother's family was the concubine of Dingjun Prince's Mansion.The girl from the Liu family was referring to the second son of the Zhan family. The second son of Zhan had a lower ranking in the palace examination than Liu Chuanwen, but he had already been appointed as a foreigner. Now the Zhan family is sending people to discuss the marriage, and they want to get married before the second son leaves Beijing.

Originally, Baochai had the idea of ​​begging the Zhan family, but Liu Chuanwen firmly disagreed, thinking that in this way, the Zhan family was inferior, and in the future, the younger sister would definitely be inferior to others in the Zhan family.Baochai had no choice but to give up what was near and seek far, and sought after Tanchun.

When Tanchun saw this, he knew there was something else hidden, and thought of Baochai's nature, if he hadn't thought carefully, he would never come to her. Besides, she is a concubine, how can she just love her?The so-called color fades and loves galloping.Today, I occasionally guessed from a few words of the county king that the county king is also trying to win over capable and talented Jinshi. The Liu family has no background, and Baochai is in the middle, so it may not be impossible for the county king to use it.If the Liu family can really be used, it is also my benefit in front of the county king, and it can be my reliance.

So Tanchun said: "Sister Bao, I will not lie to you. I can only try to mention this matter with His Highness. Whether it can be a medicine depends on the king's intention."

"Third sister, don't worry, I understand, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work." Baochai chatted with her again, expressing his worry that he would be alone at home, so he said his goodbyes.

Baochai walked outside the door, just in time to meet a little girl, the girl saluted, turned sideways, and then entered the house, Baochai vaguely listened to the girl's report: "Auntie, the second son is back from school. crying."

When he walked outside the courtyard, he saw a young man in brocade clothes crying in with tears on his face, followed by a little girl a few years older, who couldn't help comforting him.Baochai immediately guessed that the two were around. Although the original Concubine Gao in this mansion passed away, she left behind a pair of children. It was unexpected that she was so close to Tanchun, and the people in the mansion were not surprised. It's not too late, and it's almost a few minutes away.

In the end is the third sister!Baochai was a little more sure of the success or failure of this matter.

At this time the eldest girl and the second son had already entered Tanchun's house, Tanchun held the second son in his arms, wiped his tears and asked him: "Brother Xuan, don't cry, tell Auntie, who bullied you?"

Brother Xuan said sobbingly: "Big brother, big brother said I was a child without a mother, said I was stupid, and said my aunt was a vixen."

Tanchun's face flushed, he was ashamed and angry, and finally held back his tone: "Brother Xuan, don't cry, your eyes are swollen from crying carefully, and you can't read tomorrow, and your father won't like it." As he said that, he looked at the older girl beside him: "Brother Xuan and sister go to have some dim sum, okay? Auntie asked someone to make Brother Xuan's favorite snack, so that Brother Xuan can have a full meal."

The eldest girl stood quietly all the time, her attitude towards Tanchun was lukewarm, and only towards Brother Xuan was gentle and patient.The eldest girl is eleven this year, she has been taught by Gao's precepts and deeds since she was a child, even if she is not very smart, she is always smart, and she understands everything in her heart.Before she died, Gao told her to take good care of her younger brother, and also told her about Aunt Jia, and told her to be patient.After all, the eldest girl is about to reach the age of marriage, if there is no one to help, just relying on the Zhen family and the Chen family to suppress her, how can she say that she is close?

The eldest girl knew that she was old and a girl again, and Aunt Jia might not be willing to get close to her, so her attitude was lukewarm.Brother Xuan is eight years old this year. Because of Gao's death last year, he has a filial piety, so he didn't go to study in the study. The mansion invited a teacher to give lectures to Brother Xuan, and the eldest girl often listened in.Although the king of Chengjun didn't want Gao to live, but when he died, he remembered Gao's kindness in the past. Besides, the two children had been doted on for several years. Take care of it, after all, the Chen family is not at ease entrusting it to the Zhen family.Thinking about Tanchun's low status, I would like to mention that Piansheng is now only a general of the town, and he has a fixed number of wives and concubines, so it is not easy to move.

After the two left, Tanchun turned cold: "Second Madam, this is targeting me!"

The servant said worriedly: "His Royal Highness is often here with the aunt now. The eldest lady only cares about the third son and ignores it, but how can the second lady bear it? Besides, those aunts are jealous, and there are many accidents that happen on weekdays. The second son Forget it, Your Highness often asks, the second lady only dares to talk about it, it won't hurt anyone, but the eldest girl is more troublesome. The eldest girl is eleven this year, and I heard that the second lady wants to be a matchmaker for the eldest girl a few days ago. "

"The weasel has no good intentions in wishing the chicken a new year!" Tanchun was naturally very annoyed.

Even if Tanchun is often scheming nowadays, he has a plan in his heart, and he doesn't know such black-hearted people.Regardless of how she was with Gao Shi in the past, since she has benefited from Gao Shi, she naturally has to take care of the eldest girl and the second son, and this is very beneficial to her.If it is really difficult for her to conceive again in the future, Brother Xuan will be her reliance for the rest of her life. The eldest girl is Brother Xuan's biological sister, so she has a lot to do with it, how can she let Chen's calculations.

Tanchun thought and smiled: "Look at my confusion. Gao's filial piety is not yet full, and Miss Kuang is still young. I beg His Highness, it will not be difficult to delay for two years. I am most worried about Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan is good in everything else, but his ears are too soft, his heart is too soft, he can't hold back other people's words, and he likes to play. It would be great if he had seven parts of a big girl."

The servant said comfortingly: "My aunt also thinks about the benefits here, if the Second Young Master hadn't such a temperament, how could he get close to my aunt."

"That's true." Tanchun is also aware of this, so he can only spend a lot of effort on re-teaching on weekdays, but brother Xuan is eight years old, and the effect is very slow.

In the blink of an eye, it entered May, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifteenth day was Brother Rui's third birthday.

Studying in the study room is very hard. Except for the New Year's Day or the birthday of my elders, I have to go to study regardless of the weather.Although Chu Yang really wanted to stay at home to celebrate his younger brother's birthday today, but the rules of going to the study are here, he is so special, so he gave the gift he had prepared to Brother Rui the night before, and the next morning he was still there. I went to school.

That half golden lotus seed was really worth eating. Chu Yang worked hard for a year of school, not only did he not lose weight, but he also grew taller. He is in good health, has a rosy complexion, and is in good spirits every day.

This time for Brother Rui's birthday, Lin Qingyun personally made two sets of clothes, and also made a whole body for Chu Yangxin.The masters in the mansion were only four of them, and the people in the sewing room only sewed and sewed clothes for the people in the mansion all year round, and the clothes for the four of them were all made by the maids around Lin Qingyun.Lin Qingyun himself would do it in his spare time, especially for Brother Chuyang Rui, for which Tu Yan was half-truthfully jealous.

She used to be sloppy in sewing, but now she does a lot of work. After practicing for a few years, she has made great progress in cutting, sewing, and embroidering clothes.Chuyang has grown up, and she has to go to school on weekdays, so it's not easy for her to dress up, she can only work hard on Brother Rui.

It's hot in May, and Brother Rui used to only wear thin gauze and gauze trousers, but today because of his birthday, he had to wear big clothes, and the sun started to get hot outside before the sun rose.

Lin Qingjun pulled him to him funny and angrily, and patted him twice: "Be more honest! You get up and down in the morning, running around, can you not be hot? Look at this hair. We're going to leave, how can we see guests later?"

"Mother, Mammy said that today I want my father and mother to kowtow, and I will kowtow for you." Brother Rui knelt down on the ground as he spoke.

Lin Qingyun hurriedly smiled and hugged him: "My brother Rui is really filial. Wait a little longer, your father will come over and knock together later, there is something good for you."

While speaking, Tu Yan had already entered.

"Father!" Brother Rui pounced on him, Tu Yan bent over and hugged him, Brother Rui pestered him for a birthday gift, asked when Chu Yang would come back, and asked if there were any little monkeys in today's play.Brother Rui loves to play and can't stay idle. He also likes to watch theater and martial arts. He especially likes the group of little monkeys in "Journey to the West", and even pestered Lin Qingyun to make him a set of clothes like that.

After Brother Rui finished kowtowing, Tu Yan gave him a one-foot-long wooden treasure boat, not only the parts were very lifelike, but also able to walk in the water.Tu Yan borrowed the internal structure of foreign self-propelled boats and the style of this dynasty's treasure ship, and made it himself. Brother Rui fell in love with it when he saw it, and refused to let go of it. He decided to release the boat in the pond in the garden.

"Come back later, I have something for you." Lin Qingyun waved to Bai Ling, and Bai Ling brought out a nest of monkeys, one big monkey and nine small monkeys, all carefully sewn, fluffy and very realistic .

"Little monkey!" Brother Rui wanted this for a long time, and his eyes lit up when he saw it today, but he was holding the boat in his hands and was reluctant to let go, and wanted to hold the little monkey in his arms, his eyes were struggling.

The unscrupulous parents and maids all laughed non-stop.

Back then, Chu Yang's third birthday was very lively, but the guests were all royal family members and close friends. Today, Brother Rui's birthday party is a little lower in standard. After all, Chu Yang is the prince's son.On the theory of identity, Tu Yan not only told Chu Yang, but also told Brother Rui. Of course, Tu Yan’s speech was very popular. When Brother Rui heard that Chu Yang had so many responsibilities, especially that he had to study so many things hard , looking at Chuyang's eyes with sympathy.Brother Rui, like Brother Kui, is mischievous, can't sit still, doesn't like reading, and is born with a clever mind.

Half an hour before the banquet, guests from various families arrived one after another.

Lin Qingyun received the female guests.Concubine Zhongshun brought the concubine, Princess Dingjun brought the eldest daughter of the family, the princess Xinyue, the princess of Sujun brought the eldest daughter Xinrou, the princess of the concubine, Zhen, the wife of the general of Zhenguo, brought the young son, and the princess of Xiangjun brought the princess. The eldest sister, Princess Yongjia with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Princess Huiyi with her two-year-old son, and Princess Anle with her young son.In addition, all the empresses in the palace sent people to give gifts. The queen mother, emperor, and empress all came to present gifts. Something is coming.

Today, brother Rui is a birthday star, and Lin Qingyun led him out to meet guests.

Brother Rui is not afraid of strangers in front of outsiders, besides, he is a common person in the daily life, at least he abides by the rules and does not make a fuss. Give the head to the nanny, and ask the nanny to store it in a small box for him.

Lin Qingyun entertained the royal concubine and elders first, and then met with the sisters. At the same time, she checked whether the preparations were in place, and ordered people to add things from time to time. In addition, there were many children here today, in order to prevent accidents, A lot of maids and women were arranged to look after them.

After taking a break with great difficulty, she walked up to Princess Yongjia and asked in a low voice: "Big sister, why are they willing to bring the girl out of the mansion?"

Lin Qingyun was referring to the two county lords. Princess Dingjun was the one who brought her daughter from the first line, but Princess Sujun brought the eldest girl from the side concubine of the mansion. In the past, she was rarely seen with go out.

The eldest princess smiled and said: "You don't know this? The two county lords are not too young, so they should be close. These two people have taken them with them when they go in and out recently. The county lord Xinyue is brought by her mother, that's all. Su Jun Wangfei is not very happy to bring Xinrou county magistrate."

An Le, who was teasing his niece at the side, said, "I heard people say that King Sujun has taken a fancy to the third son of the Zhuang family."

Lin Qingjun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "No. My sister married into the Zhuang family, and the three sons are considered to be of the same generation as us. Even if the royal family doesn't pay attention to these things, who doesn't know the character of the Zhuang family? Even if the emperor won't agree. King Su Jun didn't expect that Concubine Rong in the palace must understand that she would never choose the third son of the Zhuang family for the county magistrate."

The third son of the Zhuang family is eight years younger than Lin Qingyun, and he is fourteen this year. Like the brothers of the Zhuang family, he is very good at studying.

Referring to her younger brother, Zhuang Shixiang said with a smile: "Sure enough, the princess is just hearsay, so I can't do it right. My third younger brother has already talked about his marriage. He is the granddaughter of a respected teacher in the third uncle's academy. The two families have agreed to marry each other in August. Xiao Ding."

An Le sticks out her tongue in embarrassment, even though she is the child's mother, she still has the heart of a child.

Zhuang Shixiang gave birth to another son in March, just one month after confinement, and now her face is still round.Zhuang Shixiang tugged at Lin Qingyun's sleeves, avoiding people and asked her: "I gained weight after giving birth to Sister Tian, ​​and I haven't recovered, and now I have given birth to Brother Yu, and I have become even fatter. I saw that my aunt lost weight after confinement I lost weight, is there any good way?"

"You didn't ask the eldest princess?" Lin Qingyun looked at her, she had indeed gained a lot of weight, and her belly was very conspicuous when she sat down.Which girl does not love beauty, even if she is married.

"I asked, the eldest princess gave the prescription, and Miss Tian used it at that time, but it didn't work. I'm afraid that my physique is different from that of the eldest princess, so I came to ask my aunt." Zhuang Shixiang was very distressed by this, although the eldest princess He treated her very kindly, and Lu Hong respected and cherished her, but she was not without a sense of crisis in her heart.

Before she got married, her mother told her that the other family is different from their farmer, without those rules and the support of the elders. If you want to keep the heart of your husband, you must rely on your children, and you must rely on yourself.If a woman is talented, she can communicate with her husband, and if she has good looks, she can make her husband feel the same in body and mind.Although ironic, most men in the world love sex, and even though Zhuang Shixiang knew Lu Hong's character, she didn't want to take any risks.

Lin Qingjun could more or less guess that her situation was somewhat similar to Zhuang Shixiang's. Even if Tu Yan and the royal family both had promises, even if she believed that Tu Yan was a human being, it was not true that there was no crisis at all.

She gave a few instructions to Bai Ling, and then said to Zhuang Shixiang: "I have two prescriptions, both of which are medicinal food, not only for weight loss, but also for beauty. I asked the doctor to write it down according to my situation. Whether it is suitable for you, you can take it to the imperial doctor first."

Zhuang Shixiang accepted it after thanking her.

Princess Huiyi and Princess Xiangjun came together, first teased Miss Tian, ​​then asked why she didn't bring her younger brother out, and laughed with Lin Qingyun: "It's really lively today, Brother Lin He ran non-stop when he came, and just now, Brother Rui took out a big wooden boat, and those children all followed to the garden as if they had seen a treasure."

"Brother Rui! So those people went to the water's edge, what if something happens." Lin Qingyun hurriedly asked Huamei to take a look.

Hui Yi waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter, everyone is surrounded by a group of people, and they are not allowed to lean against the water's edge, for fear of being squeezed and slipped."

Princess Xiangjun suddenly said: "I heard that Dong's family is close to Sujun Palace in private."

"Dong's family? Their family has been keeping a low profile, and they haven't heard of any relationship with the Sujun Palace?" Huiyi asked puzzled.

Assuming that Hui Yi is the Princess of the Prince's Mansion, she has seen many scenes since she was a child, and is very familiar with every family in the capital. Dong Shan of the Dong family was only transferred to Beijing a few years ago, and served as the young minister of Guanglu Temple.What does Guanglu Temple do?In charge of banquets and other matters, not to mention the position of Shaoqing.The ten princes are on the fifteenth day of this year, and they are entrusted to leave the mansion. The emperor bestows the title of king of Huaijun. The marriage was arranged two years ago, the eldest daughter of the Dong family.

"It seems to have something to do with Concubine Rong's family, but I don't know the details."

Lin Qingyun glanced at Princess Xiangjun, knowing that she would not say this for no reason.Furthermore, Princess Xiangjun is young, how does she know these things?I'm afraid it was Li Wanpin from the palace who told her, and she purposely said it for herself.If this matter is true, it can be seen that Concubine Rong's painstaking efforts, is she trying to win over Duke Huai?

Huiyi was not interested in the affairs of Huaijun Palace, so she secretly winked at Lin Qingyun.

Seeing this, Lin Qingjun found an excuse to walk away, went to a place where there was no one with Hui Yi, and asked her amusedly, "What do you want to tell me, it's so mysterious."

Huiyi's eyes were full of gloating, but she also felt a little emotional: "Zhao Yunshuang."
