[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

Linlin really wanted to say at this time, "Grandmother, they really plan to send this girl to the palace as a concubine."

But she didn't say anything, she quietly cated aside for a while, seized the opportunity, and threw herself on the old lady's back.The old lady almost jumped up in fright, then Linlin jumped into the old lady's arms with a happy smile, and held her head against her stomach for a while.

"You annoying little thing, you ran here without shoes on, and you'll get frostbite on your feet from the cold." Although the old lady scolded her like this, she still put her little granddaughter's feet in her arms to warm them up. They also asked someone to come in from the outside, put the girl's shoes on the smoker cage and bake them, and put them on for Linlin when they were hot.

Here I want to say that the old lady’s upper room has three rooms, and the middle room is flanked by two bedrooms for grandparents and grandchildren. In this society, the left side is respected. The old lady usually lives in the east room, and the west side is reserved for Linlin.

When Linlin followed the maids back to her west room to get dressed, the old lady would inevitably complain to her daughter-in-law. If she had a stronger body, the eldest would not be born weak and unable to support her. He died in two years, and the poor child was not killed. Now it's just the two big fat granddaughters making a fuss in the house. Even if the roof is knocked off, her wife can only be happy.

After her granddaughter got dressed and came out, the old lady didn't say what she was thinking, but urged her granddaughter to greet her mother, "Your mother was tired a few days ago and has lost energy these two days, you go Say hello to her earlier, just say that my old lady said, let her not worry about the things in the family, there is me in the family, she just needs to take care of her bones."

Linlin agreed, learned again what the old lady said just now, and led the people out of the yard bouncingly to pay her respects to her mother.

When I arrived at my mother's yard, I saw my father who had just come out of my grandmother's yard was also here, flipping through a book, and the husband and wife put their heads together and were reading together.

As a child, Linlin, adhering to the spirit of children's nonsense, immediately climbed onto her father's lap, squeezed between the two of them, and insisted on reading a book with her parents.

Linlin was also a top student in her previous life. Although the professional knowledge she learned could not be used in this world no matter how hard she tried, it did not prevent her from learning ancient poetry and prose through compulsory education.

Now the husband and wife are reading a miscellaneous note, in which there is a dazzling array of words. I have really learned this word in my life. Linlin put her finger on it, tapped it four times, and read it. "A dazzling array of things to see".

Jia Min was a little happy, and said to Lin Ruhai, "Our second girl is still following the master, and she already knows how to read at a young age."

The words sounded good, Master Lin touched the short beard on his chin happily, and at the same time he did not forget to praise his wife, "Madam praises it, this is also a good teaching by Madam."

Then the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled. Just when the atmosphere was so good, Jia Min quietly leaned into Lin Ruhai's ear and said a word. Lin Ruhai put the book on the couch in surprise, and hugged Linlin like It was like bouncing up, "Really?"

Jia Min nodded shyly.

"Don't move, ma'am, just sit here and wait for me, I'll be right back." After finishing speaking, he took off his robe and ran out, completely different from his old image of a scholar-bureaucrat.

"Mother, why did Dad go?"

Jia Min pretended to cough, "Why is my son here?"

"The old lady said that you are usually too tired, so she asked her daughter to greet you, and said that she is worried about the things at home, so she asked you to take a good rest recently. Have you forgotten one more thing, we When I went to my uncle’s house some time ago, my uncle’s cousin already had a name, and now my daughter doesn’t even have a name when she’s so old.”

Having said that, Jia Min suddenly remembered, "When your father comes back later, I will think of a good name for you."

"No, no, no, my daughter thinks this word is good." Picking up the book just now, turning to that page, pointing to the dazzling array of "Lin".

"This word can be used as my daughter's name. Wait a minute, when your father comes back, can mother tell your father?"

"Okay, okay" Linlin fell into her arms, and started messing around in her arms. She didn't do anything at first, but after a while, she was startled by her father's yelling.

"Get up, get up, get up."

After finishing speaking, she came to give Linlin a hand, "Looked at Jia Min's stomach in awe, "Madam, what's the matter? "

Then an old man with a goatee was invited in, and then good news broke out in the family that Jia Min was pregnant again.

Ever since her mother announced that she was pregnant again, Linlin has seen the horrors of ancient women praying to gods and Buddhas.

In order to protect Jia Min's pregnancy to be a boy, the old lady began to go in and out of the monasteries near the capital, and in the eyes of those monks, she seemed to be a big customer who sprinkled gold everywhere.

The old lady of the Lin family took Linlin to the monastery. When others lighted lamps, she also lit lamps. Others lighted small lamps with 10 catties of sesame oil, but she wanted to light a big lamp with 120 catties of sesame oil.Linlin took a look, the wick was as thick as an adult's middle finger.

When others burn incense, she also burns incense. Others use incense sticks, but my old lady uses coiled incense.And it's not one plate or two plates, she ordered 120 plates this time.

Others donated clothes, shoes and socks to the monks, and the old lady also followed. The others were all in one suit and two suits, and she gave them a full 1200 sets.

This is not just a monastery, she does this every time she enters a monastery, and now many monasteries have expressed their warm welcome to the old lady surnamed Lin.

The several monasteries that the old lady frequented now have special monks lined up to welcome her. Linlin has seen it with her own eyes. There is a monastery that engraves many lotus flowers on the central axis of its own monastery, and specially invites Mrs. Lin to step on the first one. Once, whenever the old lady took her granddaughter and stepped on the lotus, the monks would proclaim the Buddha's name... This is called step by step lotus...

"Old lady, did we give too much?" When returning home, the grandparents and grandchildren were talking in the sedan chair.Linlin felt that she had to remind the old lady that enough was enough.

"You don't understand. Before you were born, your old grandpa was still alive, and our family was even bigger than it is now. At that time, we were a decent family of the Hou family..." The old lady stopped talking at this point , as if stuck in memory.

People who are down and out are the same, they will all say that my ancestors were once rich, that was the ancestors, that was once.

But for the Lin family, the residence of the Hou Mansion seems to be yesterday, and the old lady of the Lin family has lived in this kind of life for most of her life.

"Our house used to be a Hou's mansion. Since your grandfather's old thing is gone, the door plaque has been taken down, and after various places have been restructured, it has become an ordinary family. But compared with ordinary people, our yard is still big. Yes, when your old grandfather was dying, he hoped that your father or your brother could revive the family."

It was a sad thing to say, so the old lady didn't say much, just touched Linlin's head, "Good boy, although our family has become an ordinary family now, we can't do things like ordinary people. Grandma has a sense of proportion here."

After returning home, I couldn’t help but talk to my son about what happened today, and praised Linlin: “I see that my granddaughter is an open-minded person, and although ordinary children are not as noisy as her, they are not as knowledgeable as her. It's a pity, if our family is still in the Hou Mansion, a girl like ours will definitely find a good family when they talk about marriage in the future."

Lin Ruhai only smiled wryly a few times.

My family burned incense and worshiped Buddha everywhere, but my grandfather's Rongguo Mansion was different. I packed a basket of clothes worn by the little boy in their family, and my grandmother brought them with me.

"You put these away, they are all your nephew's clothes, and put them in your house, and they will bring you a boy sooner or later."

It is also an elder, and it is also worrying about this matter. In Jia Min's opinion, what the old lady of the Lin family did is what she should do. In Jia Min's opinion, what her mother-in-law does is hard work.

After accepting these little clothes, moved tears fell down, and when Lin Ruhai came back at night, he couldn't help but tell Lin Ruhai about this matter again.

Finally, the topic changed, "I saw that the two nephews of my natal family are all good, and they are about the same age as our girl. Although the children are not so young now, but I think that if our girl returns to me Going to her mother's house, no matter how you know it, she will not suffer any grievances, and besides, with my mother watching, we girls will not suffer any grievances."

When Jia Min said the first half, Lin Ruhai could still listen calmly and thank his mother-in-law for her hard work in line with his wife's words, but he disagreed with the second half.

"The kids are still young, so it's still too early to talk about it." In the father's opinion, there are not many brats in the world who can match their own girls. The most important thing is that if there is any trouble, it will disappear without a trace as soon as you see her. A good child like this is hard to find in the world, so I hurriedly find someone to marry. I'm so sorry kid.

The matter of marrying her daughter to her natal nephew was just Jia Min's idea. She didn't discuss it with her natal family, and she just mentioned it to her husband. Seeing that the husband didn't answer this question, she didn't continue. explain.

The time passed slowly under the various tosses of the old ladies of the two families. When summer passed and autumn came, and when Jia Min was about to give birth, the old goatee doctor came again this time, pinching his beard and feeling his pulse for a while After that, he congratulated Lin Ruhai beamingly.

"According to the pulse, the fetus in the lady's womb is a boy."

Lin Ruhai was so happy that she wanted to jump up, but she still asked cautiously, "How is the fetus? Is it healthy?"

The old doctor's eight-character eyebrows fell off, and Lin Ruhai's mood immediately fell from a height to the ground when he saw it.

"Doctor, please tell me clearly, is there something wrong?"

The old man deliberated for a while, and concluded in two words, "frail"
