The Five Girls of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Mrs. Chen was born in Duke Qi's mansion. She is the second daughter of the Duke's wife, and she is very favored. With her status, marrying Lin Jiaping is definitely considered a low marriage. But this matter must start from an old incident. He was born tall, but he was not raised by the Duke’s wife at the time. Back then, the old Duke had a very favored aunt. Because of his low birth, she was really beautiful. Holding her in his arms, the old Duke suddenly disappeared frivolously. He dared to do anything, even the Duke's wife was ignored.

At that time, the Duke's wife and the aunt found out that she was pregnant. The aunt was originally a concubine in a small official's family, and she was often tortured by the mistress. She has had enough of the misery of the concubine, but although she is frivolous, she also understands that in a family like the Duke's Mansion, even if she divorces her wife and remarries, she will never help her concubine to become a regular wife, so her children can only be concubines. Yes, in the future, she will also suffer the torture she once suffered, which made the aunt feel extremely unwilling.

Ever since she learned that both her womb and the mistress's womb were girls, she began to think about it. At that time, she was being favored, and even the Duke and his wife wanted to avoid her edge, which cost a little manpower. He bought the nanny and the midwife by his wife, and exchanged his daughter with the daughter born to the Duke's wife. Since then, the civet cat has been exchanged for the prince, and the concubine has been exchanged. The Duke's wife forcibly endured that aunt for five years. During this period, he searched for some young and beautiful women to serve as concubines for the Duke of Qi, and gradually he was favored by that aunt.

But even so, the old Duke never let go of the aunt, which made the wife of the Duke hate her so much, she bought people to give the aunt her food, but within a year, the aunt went away, and the concubine left behind He was sent to Zhuangzi by Mrs. Guogong's wife to be raised by his wife, which is considered a fate. Under the care of the girl, he survived. This child is Chen's.

But she said that the little daughter who grew up pampered by the Duke's wife didn't feel it when she was young, but only felt that the eyebrows and eyes looked like the old Duke, but when she grew up, the eyebrows and eyes became more and more delicate and beautiful. It is the dignified type. To put it bluntly, her appearance is not very outstanding. Seeing her daughter getting more and more beautiful, Mrs. Guo is not unhappy, but at a banquet, after a lady pointed it out, the country It was like a thunderbolt, and the lady-in-law went mad to investigate what happened back then, but after so many years, when her aunt and grandmother were favored and powerful, for the sake of her daughter, she dealt with people mercilessly. Now Ten years have passed, how can I find out.

But no matter what, Mrs. Guo already had doubts in her heart, and asked someone to bring back this concubine who wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible from Zhuangzi. But ever since she met the girl, she knew that this child was her own. Flesh and blood, blood connection, kinship, that subtle feeling is unmistakable, I was blind and raised that bitch's daughter as my own, but my own child lived so badly, duke The madam hugged her daughter and cried and pouted.

It is now that Mrs. Chen has returned to the Duke's Mansion, but she has already developed her character during the few years in Zhuangzi. She is very domineering and has a wild temper. If she is really delicate, whether she can survive is a problem Because of her debts, Mrs. Guo had a special preference for her. When she took Mrs. Chen to the temple to pray for blessings, she didn't want her to sneak out and ran into a scholar who was going to Beijing to rush for the exam, that is, Lin Jiaping. Lin Jiaping was handsome. , with a gentle personality, aren't they just the wits and beauties in the living storybook, Chen's heart is inevitably fluctuating, which girl doesn't have a spring, let alone the women in the boudoir don't see outside men.

Mrs. Chen begged Mrs. Guogong.

Men and women have different seats at the age of seven, but these words are not meant to be said. Mrs. Guo was almost pissed off by her daughter's bold and shameless words. After beating and scolding, she still didn't let Mrs. Chen rest. Thinking, Mrs. Guo felt guilty about this girl after all, which made people check Lin Jiaping.

Gusu Lin's family has a great reputation. In the past, they would have been able to marry the Duke of Qi's mansion, but now they are really in decline. However, if they really married into the Duke of Houmen's mansion with their own daughter's temper Unexpectedly, this declining Lin family seems to be a good fit. There is the Duke of Qi's mansion behind the girl, so she will not suffer any grievances in the Lin family.

Only then did the Duke's wife agree to the marriage.

After Mrs. Chen married to the Lin family, she brought a generous dowry, and even more, the Duke of Qi's government was able to help Lin Jiaping. Mrs. Chen's life in the Lin family was really good. In less than two years, the power of housekeeper has to be handed over to Mrs. Chen. How can Mrs. Zhu feel better?

This slap was the biggest grievance Chen had ever suffered since she entered the Lin family. She angrily returned to the Indus Courtyard, extremely angry in her heart, and smashed everything she could at hand, but she didn't feel relieved, she sat on the bed and groaned. Panting, teardrops fell down, she wiped them off with one sleeve, and said through gritted teeth: "No, I can't just let it go, it's too deceitful!"

Grandma Liu was personally chosen by Mrs. Qi Guogong as a dowry for Mrs. Chen, and she quickly advised, "Don't be angry, Madam. If you get angry, that person from Fu Rong Yuan will be happy, and it's not worth it."

Chen gradually calmed down under Liumama's gentle persuasion. She held Liumama tightly, and she could not help showing some pleading, "Look, mama, what's going on now? Sister in the house, look!" After such a thing, that old guy is still partial to that bastard, and according to that old guy's current partiality, how can the Lin family still have my share in the future." He wiped his tears, "Is it possible that I Are you in the same situation as my sister-in-law?"

"What did Madam say?" Grandma Liu quickly said, "Then how can Madam Zhao be compared with Madam Zhao? Madam Zhao lost her natal family, so she will inevitably suffer hardships in her in-law's house, but Madam, behind you is the entire Duke of Qi."

Mrs. Chen sat up, wiped her tears, and burst out laughing, "You're right, how can Mrs. Zhao be the same as me." She bit her lip and said, "It would be better if we were in Beijing Look, how dare that old man do anything to me?" He sighed and said: "It's just a pity that the master's errand is arranged in Gusu. .”

"But you can't say that." Grandma Liu smiled and said, "Whether it's far or near, as long as the Duke's Mansion is there, the old lady doesn't dare to embarrass the wife too much." Grandma Liu looked at Chen Shi slowly calmed down, and then said: "Madam, although the old lady is partial to the younger son, she is very dependent on the master. Whenever the master speaks, the old lady has to think about it."

"You mean to ask the master to discipline that bastard?" Mrs. Chen tilted her head, frowned, and said with some hesitation: "But the master is filial, so why would he question the old lady."

Grandma Liu shook her head with a smile, broke the matter up and told Mrs. Chen, "Ma'am, there is a saying that my wife should not be annoyed by, it is inevitable that being a daughter-in-law is different from being a girl. "

"How could I not realize that." Chen frowned and said, "Didn't I not know how my mother treated me back then? But in the Lin family, I was careful everywhere and followed her in everything, but in the end?! "Chen curled his lips, waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it."

Grandma Liu smiled, and said again: "So it's too easy to talk about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Let's talk about today's matter. Although it's my brother-in-law's fault, but the wife yelled at the old lady at the beginning, and it's the wife who said it. It doesn't make sense."

"Bastard!" Chen stared and slapped the table angrily: "Who are you, you are still talking for that old man!"

"Madam, just listen to what Madam said." Fuling stepped forward jokingly, squeezed Mrs. Chen's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Madam doesn't understand Madam's heart for Madam? Comparable to Sun and Moon, wouldn't it embarrass her when you say that about her?"

Chen Shi laughed angrily, "You little hoof, do you still need to talk about this?"

Grandma Liu also made fun of it, and then continued: "What I mean by this old slave is that we can't say anything about letting the second wife be the rafter in this early age, let alone say it clearly, because it's about our sister's reputation after all. "Grandma Liu narrowed her eyes, lowered her voice, and said: "The second master has done a lot of bastard things, but the old lady is biased and covers up this well-known thing, and the master just doesn't know what to do. , but that doesn’t mean there isn’t.”

"After all, the old man is gone, and this elder brother is like a father, so there is nothing for the elder brother to teach the younger brother." Nanny Liu glanced at Mrs. Chen, and said, "In this way, with the second wife standing in front of me, the old lady will be jealous." , is also the matter of the second wife, and it has nothing to do with the wife."

"But brother and sister, can she be willing." Chen frowned, and said with some concern.
