[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

For Lin Ruhai, those unhappy things outside are not a big deal when they meet the happy events of Tim Tin Import.

On the second day, I set off from home with full confidence in the morning, and went to fight wits and courage with those people outside.

Jia Min never imagined that he could have another child, so he happily wrote a letter and planned to send it to the Rongguo Mansion in the capital.Before delivering the letter, he called Ma Chengjia, one of his former dowry maids, to come to him.

"You know about our family. I have two daughters, one of whom died young, and only this one is left. Although she usually looks like a young lady, she has a bad temper. What I am worried about now is that she finds me I can't find a good in-law's family, even if I find a decent in-law's family, I'm afraid of being angry with her in-law's family because of her dog-like temper. After thinking about it, I think it's better to kiss and get married. When you arrive in the capital, ask the family Old lady, Jia Lian from my elder brother's family and Jia Zhu from my second brother's family are now talking about whether they have kissed, if not, it would be a good thing for us to kiss and get closer."

This kind of thing can't be written in the letter. After all, the girl's family also needs face. If the face-to-face is already married, and the family proposes that they will be ashamed when they arrive, it will hurt the face of their own girl.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Ma Cheng's family took the letter and took a boat north with them.

Besides, Lin Ruhai's complexion has not been very good in the past few days, but he didn't bring the outside things back to the backyard to talk about it.

After waiting for a few days, Linlin couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she sent one of her little maids, Tian Niu, to inquire outside.

Sure enough, Tian Niu lived up to expectations, went there all morning, and when she came back, she told the whole story like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

"This is what my brother heard from the boys outside. It is said that a girl from the Zhen family, the emperor of the south of the Yangtze River, entered the palace and became a noble concubine and gave birth to the fifth prince. The fifth prince heard from his grandfather's family that we and Rong The Guofu is relatives. The Rongguo Mansion and his maternal ancestor’s family are also old relatives, and they want to borrow some salt tax money from us."

After Linlin finished listening, she let out a piss, "It's fair to borrow and repay. This is also between private individuals. When it comes to taxes and money, he's not borrowing, it's simply robbing. Our uncle is right, he They are here to blackmail us."

In my heart, I thought about what kind of relationship the Rongguo Mansion had with them, and now I didn't see any care, but got into trouble because of their family.

After the younger brother came back from the school, the two siblings whispered about it in the room.

Although Lin Hao is chubby, white and tender, he looks very childish.But because he went out with Lin Ruhai to meet guests since he was a child, he can be regarded as someone who has seen the world, and because he is an only son, Lin Ruhai has great expectations for him, and he almost stares at him. I also learned a lot of black water from my elders.

"That day my mother was diagnosed with a happy pulse, so our family was very happy. There are some things you don't know. The women who came to deliver letters from the Rongguo Mansion chatted with our family's servants, revealing that they belonged to their family. The eldest lady is about to enter the palace, and she will follow the path of Concubine Zhen."

Linlin thought for a while, and there was indeed a concubine born in the Rongguo Mansion. As for how she entered the palace, the book didn't say in detail.

Seeing Linlin's thinking, Lin Hao tapped the table with his white and tender little fingers, "Isn't this obvious? Their family sent a girl to the palace, and let our family pay for the hard work. Father is here I’ve been an official for several years, why didn’t anyone come to blackmail me before? But at this juncture, someone has the idea of ​​​​salting tax money.”

"The silver needs to go into the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs. We can't explain the loss of a penny and a cent. Besides, even if the emperor doesn't ask, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the princes are very sensitive to this matter. When the time comes, we will The family really can't tell."

The more Linlin thought about it, the more she felt that there was a big pit in front of her, "What does father think?"

"Of course I won't give it. Father also thinks that the Rongguo Mansion and the fifth prince did some shameless tricks to sell us."

When the little guy said this, he didn't have the slightest respect in the foreign ancestor's family, and he curled his lips. Although he looked cute, this behavior already showed that the two siblings had a bit of dissatisfaction in the foreign ancestor's family. patient.

It took Linlin a few days to find out that Lin Ruhai had directly written a secret letter to the emperor, reporting the recent events verbatim to him.After handing over the secret letter, the whole person relaxed, and the whole family returned to that kind of leisurely life.

After two or three months, the reply letter from Rongguo Mansion was also taken back by the family servants.

Ma Cheng's family didn't even take a sip of water after they came back, and hurriedly went to see Jia Min.

It happened to be noon at this time, Linlin was taking a nap, Jia Min was drowsy, struggling to fiddle with the embroidery frame in his hand, these days he was making some baby aprons or hats and boots.

Hearing that Ma Cheng's family came back, he quickly put down his things and stared at the door with both eyes. Ma Cheng's face was serious. After entering, he kowtowed first and looked at the waiters on both sides. Jia Min hurriedly let him go All relevant people withdrew.

Ma Cheng's family looked at Linlin, who was sleeping soundly behind Jia Min. Jia Min waved her hand, "This girl sleeps deeply at noon, even if she pushes, she won't wake up. Just say what you have to say."

Ma Chengjia took a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Min.After opening it, there are full articles on how to take care of the fetus, and some baby products prepared by the old lady, but there is nothing else besides these.

Jia Min put down the letters. She knew that the answers she wanted were definitely not in these letters.

"What does the old lady say?"

Ma Cheng's family immediately knelt down, "The servant girl failed to fulfill my wife's orders, the brother of the uncle's family is suave and handsome, he can indeed be our girl's husband, but their family is not willing to let his brother marry our girl."

"That's what I said. My mother usually loves me the most. She also loves Linlin like something. She must be willing to kiss and kiss. Maybe it's me Brother, you don’t want to make a fuss?”

"Ma'am, listen to the servant girl. We haven't had much communication with that side in the past few years, and it's only a few letters a year. What's going on in the mansion over there depends on the mouth of the servants. Everyone agrees that the second master and the second wife are the main ones, and the second wife controls the inside and outside, plus she gave birth to a brother with jade not long ago, so it can be regarded as the same.

The uncle was drunk and dreamed, and he didn't care about the affairs of the family. Not long ago, when his elder brother and a girl from the Wang family came to visit relatives at their house, they met each other. The second wife over there was in the middle to mediate. I think Miss Wang is the future master.

I told my wife what you said to the old lady in that family. The old lady said that she must marry a girl who has a bright temperament and a generous appearance. . "

The old lady is a fine person, if she doesn't answer directly, she just politely refuses.Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for the granddaughter and the grandson to kiss each other and agree to it?

Jia Min patted the table angrily, "What is the old lady talking about? Could it be that my girl is the kind who can't get on the stage?"

"My servant inquired about this in private, and everyone in the house over there knows that our girl didn't bind her feet..."

"Who spread this gossip? I have already ordered you not to gossip about the girl... Yes, people come to our house every year to deliver things and letters. It's not surprising to know this." Pounding his chest twice, he felt that he couldn't catch his breath, "You just talked a lot of gossip. Not only did the old lady reject the marriage I mentioned, but you can tell me something else together now."

"This is a gossip I heard in the lower world. I don't know if it's true or not. I will tell my wife today. I heard that the eldest girl in Rongguo Mansion is beautiful..."

Before finishing this sentence, Jia Min sneered, "A girl who is just in her early 10s has such a beautiful face."

Ma Cheng's family didn't dare to answer, and continued, "Besides, a fortune teller came here not long ago, saying that this big girl is the fate of a noble person, and some even said that this is the one-in-a-million Phoenix fate. One day she will be able to be the mother of the world, so all the masters and masters of the Rongguo Mansion want to let her enter the palace to win a fortune.

A few days ago, the whole family was very happy, thinking that they would be able to send this young lady in with a [-]% chance, but then nothing happened.A former old sister quietly told me that the second wife of that family closed the door and scolded our master... saying it was our house... only seeing the two feet in front of me... counting Counting the days, that is, the time when the servants went to the capital by boat.So the slaves didn't dare to mention the matter of our young lady and their uncle Zhu. "

"She means that our family is short-sighted. What does it have to do with our family to send their daughter to win a fortune. According to the statement you inquired about, did the second wife blame me? It's just inexplicable, I How do you know that her daughter is going to enter the palace a few months ago, they don't know where I'm going if they don't tell me."

"Madam, don't be angry, you are still pregnant with your little master."

"Is there any gossip? Tell me what you have heard."

"Then there is their young master named Baoyu. Legend has it that he was a man of great fortune and was born with jade. Now he is brought up by the old lady in her own yard. The slaves have not seen this young master, but I heard people say that Zhong Lingyuxiu is a child prodigy."

Jia Min waved her hand, "It's not that my second brother has never read the story of hurting Zhongyong, but now I see that my natal family is becoming more and more unreliable. Okay, I know you can work hard, and raise a 10-year-old at home first." God, after these 10 days, come back to me as an errand."

After Ma Cheng's family retreated, Jia Min took out the letter and read it again. The more he read it, the more boring it became. He sighed, put the letter paper back on the table, and turned his head to see her daughter sitting behind her. Staring at himself brightly.

"Damn girl, you're scaring me to death. What are you doing? If you don't make a sound, your eyes are green. A good person can be scared sick by you."

"It's okay. I just woke up. I stared and wanted to rub my eyes but didn't want to raise my hands. I could only try to open my eyes wide to wake up. What is this mother looking at? Could it be a letter from the capital?"

The author has something to say: I had a dream yesterday, and I dreamed that there were a lot of nutrient solutions and collections.When Le woke up, it was already raining outside.It has been cold in the north recently.Angels remember to add clothes in the afternoon.

Suddenly felt that it was number 6.

The holidays are almost over.
