I am a man in a dream

But Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You after all, so he set up a house in Huazhi Lane and bought some servants.Every day, I ran here full of satisfaction, and didn't even want to go home.Within two months, Sister Feng received the letter, planning to take Second Sister You into the mansion, and arranged to live with Grandma.To Lin Hongming's surprise, Sister Feng did not sue Jia Lian this time, she treated her second sister kindly, and even Ping'er's kind heart changed her view of Sister Feng.But Qiutong in the eldest wife's room is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She kidnapped the second sister and wanted to climb up to Sister Feng's height, which made Sister Feng very annoyed.

On the contrary, Jia Lian lingered in Qiutong's place all day long, not knowing what to think.Seeing that there was really no cure for him, Lin Hongming stopped trying to persuade him.I went to see Sister Feng once in a while, and Sister Feng thought of Lin Hongming's past kindness, but she also told the truth. She wanted to tolerate the second sister, thinking that she would have a son and a daughter under her knees, and she would not dare to commit too many crimes, so she also spared her life. The second sister keeps her own place and has a mouthful of food.After a few days, the second sister suddenly had a stomachache. Sister Feng asked the imperial physician to check it, and it turned out to be a happy pulse. Seeing this, Sister Feng gave the second sister a girl, who took care of her food and clothing.Seeing this, Jia Lian couldn't say anything, but she didn't hate Sister Feng as much as before.

After finishing his work in the government office that day, Lin Hongming thought about Daiyu's worries, so he sent a post to invite Aunt Xue and Baochai.Yaqi put the banquet on the waterside pavilion of Fanghu Shengjing, when Aunt Xue came, Lin Hongming hurriedly stood up to greet her.Aunt Xue said with a smile: "It's hard for you to think about it. I'm going to buy Hongming's good wine today." Lin Hongming said with a smile: "I wanted to invite my aunt a few times. First, my aunt is busy with housekeeping, and second, she is always busy with mundane affairs. It's rare. These few days are more free, so I thought about inviting my aunt to get together. I feel ashamed, I haven’t invited my aunt to drink in the past few years. I have eaten with Brother Xue twice, but I don’t see my aunt’s kindness. After all, it’s not perfect " Aunt Xue said with a smile: "No wonder the old lady loves you, you are really sweet." Lin Hongming poured wine for Aunt Xue and Baochai, raised his glass and said: "I will toast to Auntie first, thank you for taking care of my sister My sister lost her mother when she was young, and a child without a mother is like a child without a foundation. Thanks to my aunt who often visits and gives my sister maternal love." Aunt Xue tried her tears after hearing this, and said: "Your child speaks like this It pokes people's heart. Although I have a son, I don't live up to it. Fortunately, you, sister Bao, are relieved. Seeing you, sister Lin, looks like I love you. How can I not feel pain?" Lin Hong Ming said: "If that's the case, it's the good fortune of my sister and me." Baochai said: "Brother Lin loves his sister so much, it's really rare." Lin Hongming said again: "When it comes to loving my sister, who can compare with Brother Xue. It's just Brother Xue is a real brother after all, so he has some things to say. Although I am also a brother, but in the name of the adopted son, even if I have some things to say to my sister, there is a limit to my distress." Baochai said: "Brother Lin No one in the whole house knows that Brother Lin is the most sincere to Sister Lin." Lin Hongming sighed: "Although he has intentions, but there is not enough energy left. It is inconvenient for me to be a man, unlike my aunt who can visit me often. I thought about it. Now that my sister is older, some things should be prepared, but I am a man, how can I know these things?" Aunt Xue heard, and said: "That's right, it's not difficult, it's just a matter of preparing the dowry." Lin Hongming smiled and said: "What my aunt said is true, but the dowry is prepared only if the younger sister is happy."

The three of them drank late, Lin Hongming ordered Qianqing and Yaqi to prepare a car to see them off.But two days later, Daiyu also recognized Aunt Xue as her godmother, and Aunt Xue came more frequently.On the contrary, Xue Pan didn't like Lin Hongming very much, he was always cautious in front of him, and he didn't dare to do excessive things, so he always avoided him.It just so happened that Lin Hongming didn't like Xue Pan either, so it was easy.

A few days later, Lin Hongming heard that Baochai had moved out of the Grand View Garden. After asking for details, he learned that Mrs. Wang had Sister Feng and Wang Shanbao's family search the Grand View Garden.Except for Hengwu Garden, they searched everywhere.Lin Hongming was a little angry, thinking, Baochai is a guest, so isn't the younger sister a guest?It can be seen that the members of the Jia family did not take their sister seriously.Therefore, Daiyu was brought here on the pretext of keeping his father's filial piety, thinking that Daiyu was lonely by herself, so he invited the second sister to stay for two days.Mrs. Wang was feeling uncomfortable because Baochai had moved away. At this time, Daiyu moved away again, and she felt even worse for a while. She asked Li Wan and Sister Feng to persuade her again and again, but Lin Hongming politely resigned.After returning home to have dinner with Daiyu and the others, and talking about Si Qi and Qingwen, Lin Hongming sent 40 taels of silver to Si Qi's family for the sake of his second sister, and helped Si Qi intercede. It's a happy ending.It's just that Qingwen was seriously ill. Although she was seen by others and given money, she was seriously ill and passed away for a while.Seeing this, Lin Hongming couldn't say anything.It's just that Baoyu came every day, but he regarded Fanghu Shengjing as Yihongyuan, and the attacked people kept talking.

On this day, Aunt Xue came to Jia Mu's place, and Sister Feng led her to talk about things.Sister Feng said with a smile, "Auntie has something to suggest to the old lady? I just don't know if I should speak up or not?" Mother Jia said, "What's the matter? My aunt can just say it." Aunt Xue said, "I think Miss Lin and Baoyu are also big Now, it's time to think about marriage. It's just that Miss Lin was born like that, and Baoyu was born like that, saying that it's not satisfactory for others, so I thought I'd better let them both settle down." Jiamu listened Very happy: "it's hard for my aunt to think about it. I'll accept it here. Then let Baoyu kowtow to you." Sister Feng was also happy.Jia Mu said again: "Does the second wife know this?" Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Please ask your old man for instructions first, and then tell my sister." Jia Mu said with a smile: "Okay! This is the best thing!" At night , Mother Jia called Mrs. Wang and said what Aunt Xue meant, but Mrs. Wang was silent.It was only the next day that he went to the palace to see Concubine Yuan.Unexpectedly, when they came back, they were also frowning. The marriage between Baoyu and Daiyu was not made public for a while.

Baoyu finished the meeting, took off his coat, lay on the bed and complained: "I want to see me later, I can't do it with the master." Xiren and Sheyue glanced at him and said nothing.Baoyu wondered: "Why is no one pouring tea?" Xiren ignored him while he was doing embroidery, and Sheyue went out with the wash water without looking back.Baoyu was annoyed in her heart, and scolded: "Why are the girls getting older, and I don't even pay attention to each of them. I know you want to go out. If so, I will go back to my wife and send you out." Xiren listened She cried, and shed tears: "If you dislike us, we will go and send them all away, and you can pick the best ones. Anyway, I know you dislike us, so I don't need you to go back. I will go back by myself. What do you mean, all day long Running in and out, those who don’t know think Fanghu Shengjing is Yihongyuan.” As he was about to go out, Baoyu stopped him: “I’m just talking, and I’m so angry. Why bother, You go to your wife to file a complaint, I'm not interested, and you are not interested." Seeing this, the attacker said: "Second Master is now an adult, so he should be more taboo. You know that you and Miss Lin grew up, so you are naturally close. You can say anything you don’t know.” Baoyu didn’t know what to say, and lay on the bed bored.

After dinner, Xiren avoided the crowd and came to Mrs. Wang's place. Seeing no one in the room, he came in quietly: "Madam!" Seeing her, Mrs. Wang asked, "Why are you here? But what's wrong with Baoyu? " Xiren thought for a while and said: "I shouldn't say this, but I will serve the second master. If the second master is cured, our face will be bright. A few days ago, I heard rumors from the little girl that the wife of the Xue family gave the second master I don’t know what the old lady said, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lin are the matchmakers.” Madam Wang sighed, “What else can I say? Rubbing his forehead, he said, "How can I change the old lady's meaning?" After hearing this, Xiren said again: "Although the old lady has the final say on the marriage of the men at home, the second master is unusual, and he still has to ask the lady in the palace for instructions." Will?" Mrs. Wang sighed, and said: "Sheyue has already thought about it for me, and I have also met with the empress, but the will of the empress also seems to favor your sister Lin." Seeing this, Xiren's face was not very good-looking. He twirled and twirled the silk scarf, and suddenly asked: "Then master?" Mrs. Wang seemed to have hope after hearing this.Xiren said again: "The master admires Miss Bao's poems and books." Mrs. Wang nodded.Xiren said again: "Now that the second master is older, even though Miss Lin and Miss Bao have moved out, the wife of the second master's temper also knows that it is like a wild horse that can't be tied. The second master moved it out and put it under my wife's nose, so I can remind you from time to time, and tell me every now and then." Mrs. Wang took Xi Ren's hand and said, "My son, it's hard for you to think for me and know my heart. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

As soon as February came, Lin Hongming celebrated Daiyu's birthday, and the eldest wife sent someone to welcome Chun back to the mansion, saying that people from the Sun family were coming for a blind date.Lin Hongming asked: "Which family?" Sister Feng said: "Sun Shaozu's family." Lin Hongming was surprised when he heard this: "Sun Shaozu's family? Does uncle know the background?" Sister Feng said: "The eldest wife said that she is a family friend with our family. He is a very nice person, and he is going up." Seeing Lin Hongming's serious eyes, Daiyu asked, "But what's wrong?" Lin Hongming looked at Tanchun, hesitant to speak, and when he was young, he said, "I don't know what uncle said. Is it someone I know? I heard that Sun Shaozu has a bad temper, and the second sister is mild-tempered, so I'm afraid it's not suitable." After hearing this, Sister Feng hesitated and said, "This is decided by the elder himself. The old lady also Didn't say anything." Lin Hongming asked again: "Have you made a decision?" Sister Feng said: "Just say blind date, and haven't exchanged posts, so it's not a decision." Lin Hongming begged Sister Feng: "Sister Feng, please help me. Second sister." Sister Feng wondered, "What does Brother Ming know?" Lin Hongming whispered a few words to Sister Feng.After hearing this, Sister Feng said happily, "It's Brother Lin after all, don't worry."

On the second day, Lin Hongming went down to pay his respects to Jia Mu.Just after saying a few words, Sister Feng and Mrs. Xing came happily with Yingchun.Lin Hongming hurriedly stood up to greet him.Sister Feng said with a smile, "Old ancestor, the eldest lady has come to congratulate you." Mother Jia said, "Is that the way to go?" Mrs. Xing said with a smile, "The Sun family just brought someone on a blind date, and I'll take her back to stay for two days. "Lin Hongming paused, and asked: "What blind date?" Mrs. Xing said: "A few days ago, someone proposed marriage to your second sister, and the Sun family is going to have a blind date." Lin Hongming slipped his hand and turned the tea in his hand All over the floor, Mother Jia was so frightened that she held hands and asked, "Is it burning? Why are you so careless?" Mrs. Wang was shrewd, and asked, "But what's wrong?" Lin Hongming said angrily: "Everything It's strange that Hongming didn't think carefully. Half a month ago, a friend brought his wife to celebrate his younger sister's birthday. When he met his second sister, he hit it off and proposed a marriage. I thought he was a nice person, and the old lady would like it, so I agreed. , just waiting for the old lady to come to propose marriage, who knows that the two days have been busy in the yamen and there is no time, today I finally got out and hurried back and forth to the old lady, who knew that the uncle and aunt had already made a promise to the second sister How is that good?" When Jia Mu heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" Lin Hongming said, "It's the youngest son of the Guanglu Temple Department. She is honest and reliable, with a kind heart. I think the second sister is the most suitable because she has a gentle temperament, but who knows that she will end up in such a bad place." Mrs. Xing was very angry when she heard this: "You are too reckless in doing things, don't talk about being old. Madam, even her own brother should ask for instructions, why did you agree so boldly, how can your uncle explain this to the Sun family?" Seeing this, Mrs. Wang looked at the old lady and said, "How can this be done?" Okay?" Mrs. Xing said again: "Then the Sun family and we are family friends, people are going up, they are the most intelligent, and the benefits of getting married with this family will be great." Blind date? Since it is a family friend, if you explain the whole story clearly, it must make sense. Leave this matter to Lian'er." Lin Hongming blamed himself: "It's all because Hongming is not good at things, so Lian'er brother must go here. It will also be embarrassing, I asked Qianqing to prepare 500 taels of silver and some small gifts, and let Lian's second brother take it, so as to make up for Hongming's fault." Jia Mu said angrily, "What is wrong is not a fault, you think of your second sister, This is a good thing, and it is better to propose a good marriage for her, and it will be better than anything in the future." Although Jia's mother was unwilling, Lin Hongming still sent 500 taels of silver.Yingchun looked at Lin Hongming, with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't say enough words.It's just that Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing were very angry, and they didn't give Lin Hongming a single glance when they saw Lin Hongming.

Three days later, the Zhou Office of Guanglu Temple sent the old lady to see her. She was very satisfied, posted a post, gave the dowry, and set a wedding date in June.When Baoyu heard that Yingchun was getting married, she felt sad and went to visit every day. Unfortunately, the day of marriage was still a step late, and she was very unhappy. She came to Daiyu to relieve her boredom.
