Enemies in the Red Chamber

Today, Beijing is still full of chaos, and there is an endless stream of people who have been ransacked, exiled, beheaded, and imprisoned.But these are irrelevant to the Lin family. Now Jia Min is worried about one thing. The prince of Nan'an was destroyed, but the rumors are still going on. Compared with discussing the government, there is a risk of being held accountable. Discussing men and women is safe. More, the rumors about Liu Geer and Wu Lin continued in this atmosphere.Facing the rumors spreading in Beijing, Jia Min had to consider whether it would be better to hire Wu Lin as his daughter-in-law.Although Brother Liu suffered an innocent disaster, it was indeed Wu Lin who got involved with Brother Liu at the beginning, but in the end Wu Lin’s reputation was mostly caused by Brother Liu. If there was no Brother Liu, Wu Lin and Xiaojun The master's conflict is just a trivial matter, and Nan'an Palace will not be cruel, so it will not ruin the reputation of the two of them so completely. Girls are always at a disadvantage in such matters.

Moreover, as far as Jia Min is concerned, he still likes Wu Lin very much. He thinks Wu Lin has a good temperament and appearance. Although his family was born in martial arts, he is now the emperor's confidant. Speaking of which, the Lin family is still on top.Furthermore, the girl Wu Lin has a lot of tenacity, and I believe she can bear the burden of the Lin family's wife.

After telling Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai still had some doubts at first, but when Jia Min said that "the Wu family has many sons", those doubts disappeared.Speaking of civil servants and military generals, when he married Jia Min, Rong Guogong also started his family with martial arts. The difference from the current Wu family is that one has become an honorable man and has been named a prince, while the other is just a general. No title establishes status.Wu Lin has seven older brothers, even if Wu Lin is not as powerful as her mother, half of them can give birth to four.The Lin family was really frightened by several generations of single-passage. If one generation is not careful, it would be easy to cut off children and grandchildren. Lin Ruhai's generation finally broke this tradition, and he hopes that the next generation will continue to do so.For this, it is also possible to relax the conditions appropriately.

The only problem now is Brother Liu. Jia Min once asked him what kind of wife he wanted. Like Daiyu, Brother Liu was not shy about this question. He listed a few conditions on the spot. Jia Min felt that Wu Lin met all the other conditions, but the gentle and demure one seemed to be a little different.

On this day, Jia Min specifically asked Brother Liu to talk to see if he could let him go.Jia Min is a very open-minded mother. Although most of the families are ordered by parents and matchmakers, and the children have no place to talk at all, she still wants to find a suitable one for her children. After marriage, the young couple can be harmonious and beautiful. To live life, don't adjust the three nests and four to be clean.

"Look, you're getting older, and it's time to think about marriage. My daughter, Jingui, will stay at her mother's house for two years after getting engaged. You will be sixteen or seventeen years old when you get married. Last time I asked you what kind of woman you want, You said a few things, and I searched for them, but there are always one or two things that are not suitable, you can see if you can relax some requirements on one of them." Afraid that he would wrong him because of his mother's fate, he hurriedly added One sentence, "Of course, if you really don't want to, mother will look for it again. Men are not afraid of growing up, even if they are one or two years old at night."

Brother Liu asked first: "The Supreme Emperor has passed away, and the country's filial piety has not yet passed. I'm afraid it's not good for my mother to mention this matter."

When he said those conditions earlier, he was just following his thoughts in his previous life, and he hadn't experienced so many things. It has been a few years since now, and he never thought that Jia Min would actually remember the words of the child.Generally speaking, shouldn't it be laughed off as a joke?

And now whenever he thinks about this question, he always feels a little uncomfortable.In his heart, he liked a woman like the first concubine Hua, but after going through the incident with the concubine, the first thought that came to his mind when he thought of such a woman was: Is she just pretending again?And Ning Ru, who can stand up to him on his own, is somewhat alienated, and he will always compare himself with Ning Ru unconsciously. What's even worse is that his subconscious mind has already determined that no one can be better than Ning Ru.Thinking of Ning Ru poisoning a large family without changing her face, she always has lingering fears.

Jia Min laughed and said: "It's all agreed upon. Of course, we won't make an appointment in an open and aboveboard manner. It's just that the two sides will make a verbal agreement, exchange a token, and wait until they leave the country to complete the etiquette quickly. No one can say Nothing else." Then asked: "How about we marry someone who is not so gentle and demure? Of course, it can't be an unreasonable troublemaker, just...just a little more lively?"

Immediately after, Liu Geer's mind came up with the scene of Wu Lin whipping people on the day of the Lantern Festival. The little girl was all red, her face was tense, and the whip in her hand was swinging very smoothly. angry.And that kind of anger, Liu Ge'er and Daiyu have long since disappeared, Ning Ru in the previous life had it at the beginning, but after a lot of things, it was worn out, and Zou Xu lost it as long as he could remember.

Thinking of the current situation, Brother Liu knew that Wu Lin might be the candidate in Jia Min's heart, so he asked directly: "A girl from the Wu family? The Wu family is about to rise, and they might look down on us."

Now that Jia Min has been tempered, no matter what Liu Geer and Daiyu say, she will not be shocked. Seeing what he said so straightforwardly, she said: "In the past, Mrs. Wu said that she wanted to marry his eighth sister to the scholarly family. , although our family is not a family with a long history, it can barely be counted. Now Miss Wu is tired of her reputation, and you are the reason for it. It is no wonder that he is broad-minded. We should express our affection and reason It's because I like Miss Wu, and your father also thinks it's okay, so I said this, otherwise, I can find another way. So don't be too forceful, wrong yourself, and just say what you think in your heart."

Liu Ge'er bowed his head and pondered for a quarter of an hour, thinking that for a person like him whose heart has been locked up, it might not be bad to marry someone with Wu Lin's personality, at least the family will be lively and lively all day long.So he said to Jia Min: "If her family is willing, it will be her."

Jia Min saw that his eyes were full of seriousness without any force, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "I always want your best. If you don't want her, no matter how good she is, I won't force you. It's just that you think about it well." Yes, I agreed, and I will live a good life in the future. Our family does not have any concubines, common rooms, etc., and we don’t even think about setting up an outside room. I know you are smart, so don’t use your smartness at home In human beings, if a person is cold-hearted, no matter how you remedy it, you will not be able to remedy it."

Brother Liu nodded in agreement.He felt that he would never have any more love in this life, as long as Wu Lin could give birth to an heir, then he would definitely guard her for the rest of his life, and he would never have the heart to toss about anything else.

The Lin family made up their minds, and Jia Min then broke the news to the Wu family.Mrs. Wu really wanted to marry Wu Lin to the Lin family before, and that had to be consensual, but now that she looks at it like this, she feels that the Lin family is reluctant because of Wu Lin's reputation.Even if her daughter is not easy to marry, Mrs. Wu is not willing to fool her. In addition, Wu Lin's seven sister-in-laws also persuaded Mrs. Wu to ask clearly before she agrees. After thinking for two days, Mrs. Wu finally went to Jia Min to be honest. Talked once.He agreed when he heard Jia Min say that he really fell in love with Wu Lin, not just to calm the storm.

Regarding this matter, Wu Lin herself has no objection. She and Daiyu have a good relationship, so she naturally knows Brother Liu, and she has heard a lot about him on weekdays.She didn't think about the relationship between men and women before, but now that she thinks about letting him be her husband, Wu Lin thinks it's acceptable, so she doesn't object.

On the contrary, Daiyu was taken aback when she found out. Even though she was looking forward to Liu Geer marrying a daughter-in-law like Wu Lin who was not at a disadvantage and could not be offended, she was a little frightened when she heard that it really happened.Will Brother Liu be willing?Brother Liu really agreed when he asked, and Daiyu felt that he was really mean.When someone blocked him, he liked gentle and delicate women, and provoked one woman after another, but when he was given a chance to choose, he took the initiative to choose a strong one, and began to yearn for a lifetime as a couple!

Now that the Lin family has passed the crisis smoothly, Daiyu, as a married daughter, has no reason to stay in her natal family, and she and Yang Shili chose an auspicious day to return to Shandong.

Along the way, the couple had something to do.Yang Shili did not forget that he once said that he would co-author the travel notes with Daiyu. When he was in Beijing, he witnessed the turmoil in the court, and he felt that it would be good to write down what he saw and heard, even if it could not be published like the travel notes However, leaving the manuscripts to future generations is also considered a proof, so that they have a way to understand this era other than history books.

Of course Daiyu supported this, and the two of them discussed these letters along the way, adding some unexpected additions or correcting some mistakes from time to time, and Daiyu even filled in some secrets that Yang Shili did not know, and walked all the way Neither of them felt bored at all.Yang Shili did not express any dissatisfaction with Daiyu's familiarity with government affairs. He himself had no intention of official career but he would not look down on other people's interest. He even sometimes regretted that Daiyu was not born a man.

When they returned to Yang's house, they were startled when they saw Tian's big belly, and they were relieved when they learned that they had been pregnant for one and a half months, at the end of November.Mrs. Yang held on to Daiyu, "You guys are back. Your sister-in-law is inconvenient, and I will take care of all the family affairs. You will have someone to help me when you come back." She warned Yang Shili, "This time you can take care of me." Don't take your wife away, at least you can't go out until your nephew is full moon, and you are so old and filial to me."

After all the unrelated people left, the Yang family asked the two of them, "Is the in-law's family okay?" After listening to Daiyu and Yang Shili's general talk, they heard that the Lin family was not affected, and they wanted to talk to the emperor's confidant General Wu's family. Getting married, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of Mrs. Yang's obstruction, both Daiyu and Yang Shili stayed at home. Daiyu helped Mrs. Yang manage the housework, and Yang Shili locked himself in the study all day to recall past experiences, and then wrote them down in notes to continue to contribute to future travel notes.

As a result, Daiyu, the housekeeper, finally knew that even in such a well-regulated family like the Yang family, there would be unreliable people...
