The Five Girls of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Ruan Xinxiao's visit was somewhat unexpected by Mrs. Zhao, but she has a gentle temperament, so she didn't make it difficult for her. She didn't ask if Ruan Xinxiao didn't say anything. , Some slaves don’t know whether to say it or not.”

Mrs. Zhao was a little surprised, but still said with a smile: "You can just say what you have to say, and what should be said or not should be said, it seems heretic."

Ruan Xinxiao seemed a little hesitant, she didn't know how to speak, after hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, she glanced left and right, and said, "Madam, don't you think it's strange to find that medicine from Mrs. Zhu's house?" See Mrs. Zhao With a smile on her face, Ruan Xinxiao hurriedly said: "She's deliberately trying to frame Xiao Taohong. It doesn't make sense that Xiao Taohong's room is clean, so let's search for things from her own room."

Zhao's heart trembled, and she pretended to be calm and asked: "Then what do you mean..."

"I'm thinking, this is the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole." Ruan Xin smiled and looked carefully at Zhao Shi's expression. Seeing that she still looked soft and gentle, it was inevitable that she was a little annoyed. She bit her Biting her lip, stroking her temples, she said inadvertently, "Only when I searched the house that day, I vaguely saw Miss Wu appearing in the East courtyard."

Zhao sneered, "You mean Jing'er deliberately framed Zhu Qing?"

Ruan Xin shook her head with a smile, knelt down to Mrs. Zhao, kowtowed and said, "I don't mean that, Mrs. Zhu was punished in the Buddhist hall. That's what she deserved. The crime of trying to poison my first wife is considered to be beaten to death." It's not an exaggeration, but my wife is kind-hearted, leaving her a humble life is already a mercy."

Feeling relieved, Mrs. Zhao took a sip from her teacup and said, "So, you came today to threaten me?"

"Your maidservant absolutely dare not!" Ruan Xin kowtowed again with a smile, before she said: "My maidservant knows that since I entered the mansion, it is disrespectful not to have come to greet my wife every day, and then I went to talk to Mrs. Zhu. It is unforgivable for any wife to be too close." Ruan Xin smiled a little embarrassed, she turned her head slightly, and tears fell down, "The servant is not here today to threaten Ma'am, if you want to threaten Madam, the servants can report to Madam earlier, why bother looking for Madam."

Ruan Xin smiled and saw that Mrs. Zhao was silent, bit her lips, mustered up her courage and said again: "The servants are here to surrender."

"Surrender?" Mrs. Zhao seemed to have heard something ridiculous, clapping her hands and laughing, "Isn't it good for you to follow Mrs. Zhu? Why come to me, a wife who has lost power." She looked at Ruan Xin The smile didn't seem to be fake, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't have anything to ask you to surrender. I don't worry about Auntie Hong taking care of the east courtyard." Mrs. Zhao waved her hand and said, "You can go."

Ruan Xin hesitated for a moment with a smile, and said: "Madam, it's not been a year or two since this servant has dealt with Aunt Hong. Her temper is cheerful at best, but mindless at worst." She pursed her lips and said again "If she were to take care of the East Courtyard, the end result would only be more chaotic. She relied on your power to compete with the concubines in the East Courtyard. If things go on like this, she might be another Zhu family, but Xiao Taohong's background is not enough. In order to convince the other concubines, she was born in Liyuan, but she is just an actress, how can she manage the East Courtyard to convince everyone?"

Mrs. Zhao raised her eyebrows, but she looked down upon Ruan Xin and smiled. This woman is smart, and she has always known that Jing'er was born prematurely in order to prevent her from entering the mansion. Ruan Xin understood this joint, so she never appeared in the In front of her, she never relied on Lin Jiaquan's favor to provoke her. Zhao knew in her heart that the most she did was to help Zhu Qing compete for favor with Xiao Taohong.

But now, Ruan Xin said with a smile that seeing Jing'er in the East Courtyard was probably a reminder to herself that it was not a threat, but it was a threat.

After Mrs. Zhao figured it out, she helped Ruan Xin up and smiled, and said, "Why are you still kneeling? Since you have the heart, then go with Aunt Hong. After all, she is a little bit out of character, not as calm as you."

Ruan Xinxiao heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "My maidservant, thank you for your success." Seeing Mrs. Zhao's tired face, Ruan Xinxiao hurriedly resigned. smile.

Seeing Ruan Xin leaving with a smile, Mrs. Zhao rubbed the center of her brows, looking a little tired.

Lianrui worriedly said: "Madam, what should I do now?" She glanced at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Did Ruan Xinxiao really see the girl? What if she tells others?"

Mrs. Zhao patted her arm and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's nothing strange for Jing'er to go to the East Courtyard, so what if she saw it? Who would believe it?" Mrs. Zhao thought about it, she shook her head. She shook her head and said, "Don't tell Jing'er about this. Ruan Xinxiao is a smart person. She came here to talk about it, but she just wanted to tell me her bargaining chip. Now that her goal has been achieved, she doesn't want do superfluous things.”

"Even so, it's disgusting." Lian Rui frowned, very dissatisfied.

Mrs. Zhao smiled, but didn't speak.

At this moment, Lin Jing, whom Mrs. Zhao wanted to hide, listened to what they said. Lin Jing frowned and thought about it, but she didn't have any rules for a while, and walked back to her room sullenly.

Mother didn't want her to know, she guessed it was because she was afraid that she would cause trouble, Lin Jing couldn't help being a little sullen because of this, she didn't like those intrigues, and what kind of Mrs. Du, she clearly caught her for framing her, but she He can talk nonsense with his eyes open.

Since they are so shameless, why should I have the same knowledge as them?Chirping crookedly, not refreshing.

"Jing'er, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Ziming just entered the door, seeing his cousin's sullen look, he couldn't help being curious, "But who bullied you?" It shouldn't be, he came back this time, the concierge's attitude towards him can be described as heaven and earth The difference, he thought that it must be something this girl did to make people fear like that.

Seeing her pouting her small mouth, Zhao Ziming burst out laughing all over, "Look, there may be an oil bottle hanging on this small mouth." He patted his cousin on the head, but when she dodged her, his fingers happened to pass by. The delicate and smooth touch of the girl's cheeks made Zhao Ziming stunned for a moment, and subconsciously rubbed his fingers. He suddenly remembered that what his aunt told him earlier, although he didn't say it clearly, Zhao Ziming could guess it. I want the two to be close.

At this moment, Zhao Ziming felt an inexplicable feeling, and his cheeks turned slightly red, "Cousin...Cousin, if anyone bullies you, just tell me, and I will teach her for you."

Lin Jing thought for a while and said: "No one bullies me, I want to go out to play, can you take me there?"

Zhao Ziming hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and said: "Okay, wait for me, I'll go to greet my aunt first." After he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran towards Rose Garden, just happened to meet Lin Weiwan coming out of Pinxuan Building , she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, rich and noble, seeing Zhao Ziming, Lin Weiwan was stunned for a moment, and quickly lowered her head, Pomegranate and Shizhu quickly stood in front of Lin Weiwan, blocking her, saluted slightly stiffly, and said: "Master Biao, let's The house has strict rules, it seems that it is not good to be so rampant today."

Zhao Ziming knew something was wrong when he met Lin Weiwan and his group, so he immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to look around casually.

Lin Weiwan interrupted Shiliu who was about to speak, and said in a gentle voice: "They are all relatives of my own family, so they are so particular." She chuckled lightly, passed Shiliu and the two of them, took a look at Zhao Ziming, and said: "We have met before, They all live in the Lin Mansion, so is it possible that you always keep your head down when you meet in the future?" Zhao Ziming dared not raise his head even more because of his slightly reproachful tone.

Lin Weiwan chuckled, but she didn't force her, she just asked: "I heard you went to Dongshan Academy to study?" Seeing Zhao Ziming nodding, Lin Weiwan said again: "I have a few books there, brother brought them back, said It was written by their dean, and I don’t understand it very well, so you can take it and read it tomorrow, and you can use it if you think about it.”

"But the theory compiled by Mr. Xu?" Zhao Ziming was really pleasantly surprised, and asked hastily without hesitation.

Lin Weiwan nodded with a smile on her face, seeing that Zhao Ziming seemed a little hesitant, Lin Weiwan said: "Don't worry, I copied it when I was free, not brother's."

"How can this be done?!" Zhao Ziming widened his eyes in surprise, and said, "This is too precious, let alone take it."

"Heh, they are all relatives of my own family. You are really heretic." Lin Weiwan pretended to be annoyed, "That's it, I'll send it to you in the afternoon." After finishing speaking, he didn't give him a chance to refuse, and directly Take people away.

Looking at the back of Lin Weiwan leaving, Zhao Ziming frowned and sighed softly, a little at a loss as to what to do, but then again, he was really happy to get Mr. Xu's advice.

After greeting Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Ziming found Lin Jing.

The two didn't go through the gate, it was the place where Lin Jing sneaked out on weekdays, not far from the Zhulan Courtyard where Zhao Ziming lived, there was a dilapidated courtyard, the courtyard wall hadn't been repaired for a long time, it happened to be convenient for the two to sneak out.

Although Lin Jing went out, she was not very interested. Zhao Ziming was not good at coaxing the little girl. He only knew that his cousin was very happy about the food, so he specially bought some snacks for her, which made Lin Jing feel better.

Gusu City is very lively. Even though she has walked through it many times, Lin Jing still thinks so. She walked to the street with great interest, and couldn't help sighing: "I like this lively market, and I don't like being locked in the courtyard. It's cold and quiet, and what I think about every day is how to make others feel bad, it's so boring." She pouted her mouth and said, "If I were a boy, I wouldn't have to be as sneaky as I am today if I want to come to the market. gone."
