[Qing Chuan+Red Mansion] Mr. Lin from the Lin family

Mrs. Mei finally couldn't take it anymore. She pushed away from the crowd, and ran down the stairs without caring about the image of a noble lady she usually maintains. Mostly fear.

Outsiders only know that Mrs. Mei is high-minded and sharp-tongued on weekdays, and they feel that she is worthy of being Mrs. Hanlin, but the people who serve her know that she just insists on it.

Moreover, Mrs. Mei has a low self-esteem because of her background and her own knowledge. She is usually most afraid of others picking out her faults and laughing at herself.

In fact, this is not surprising. It seems that the more upstarts, the more afraid that others will say that they are not polite. In order not to be laughed at, they will try their best to imitate the words and deeds of the aristocratic family.

If the people around her know her ugly side, they can't stay, because they will always feel that the people around them look at them as if they are laughing at themselves.

And the people serving Mrs. Mei are now praying that they can be sold directly by Mrs. Mei, otherwise, with Mrs. Mei's viciousness, the most likely thing is to make people dumb before selling them, so as not to reveal the secret.

The women and maids who are close to her will be directly poisoned to death, because they know too much, including many secret sex, such as the concubine she poisoned to death or the concubine who fell alive with medicine.

Feng Ziying dispersed the crowd of onlookers, let Xue Biao into the private room, and ordered Xiao Erer to withdraw from the banquet and serve a new table of good wine and food. After closing the door, several people introduced it again.

Hong Hui said: "Among the crowd just now, there are a few censors, Brother Lin should know them."

Lin Ruijin nodded, his father's cronies, can he not know him?

Honghui continued: "Those censors are always watching the officials' words and deeds every day. This is their responsibility. There is such a scandal in Mei Hanlin's family. Tomorrow, the censor will hear about the incident. I am afraid that the memorials to participate in Mei Hanlin will be piled up." a mountain."

"I can understand this truth, and Mei Hanlin naturally understands it better. The best way to minimize the impact is to fulfill the marriage contract and marry Miss Xue into the door. She only presumes that the wife of the family is a village woman with contempt. If he did such an act that made him ashamed because his wretched wife would not go to court, then the accusation of ingratitude and treachery would be gone."

"And wait a minute, I'm afraid Mei Hanlin will go to Xue's house to plead guilty with great fanfare, and then please look at the past friendship, don't care about a village woman, the two families are still good friends of Qin and Jin, and they will promise that they will not be treated slowly. Miss Xue and the like."

Xue Biao said: "This time, I brought my younger sister here because I expected that the Mei family might regret the engagement. However, my mother's phlegm disease will be serious soon. Three more years of filial piety will delay the flowering period, so I will come to Beijing."

"I've already thought about it. If the Mei family abides by the agreement, it is naturally the best. If the Mei family regrets the marriage, we will also quietly ask for the token and my sister's horoscope, and then find another lover for my sister."

"I just didn't expect that the Mei family was too deceitful, inviting us brothers and sisters here, and then blocking the door of the private room, so humiliating, I would never hand over my sister to such a person! "

Xue Baoqin also nodded and said: "Father was alive, and he always said that people, no matter how rich or poor they are, must be worthy of their every gesture. Character is the most important thing for a person."

"A family like the Mei family, I'd rather never marry for the rest of my life, and never have any contact with them again. After seeing Mrs. Mei, and with Mr. Mei's deeds, the son of his family is probably nothing more than mediocre."

After Hong Hui knew the attitude of the siblings, he nodded and asked again: "Then where are you now?"

Xue Biao said: "Our family does not have a foothold in the capital, and now we are living with our aunt."

Honghui asked again: "But Xue Pan's family?"

Xue Biao nodded and said, "That's my eldest cousin."

Hong Hui said: "Then you may have to change your residence temporarily, because your arms can't twist your thighs, and the Xue family can't protect you brothers and sisters."

Lin Ruijin sneered and said: "Zicheng, what you said is too tactful, as long as Mei Hanlin gives Xue Gongmei some benefits, such as sending him to Ama's backyard or fulfilling her wish, sending him to Hongyun to be a side Fujin or something , see if she will ask Aunt Xue to pack her up and send her to Mei Mansion."

The Xue Biao brothers and sisters are a little embarrassed. Their uncle, mother and daughter are two, and their brothers and sisters naturally know something, but this is really hard to say.

Wei Ruolan coughed lightly and said, "Brother Jin, I heard that your sister will invite some sisters to your house tomorrow?"

Lin Ruijin said in a daze: "I don't know. I saw my mother and the others were busy in the morning, so I came out to look for you. Hey, I don't know about this. How did you find out?"

Hong Hui hurriedly answered, "That's right, Sister Lin sent a message to Huai Ke, you came out early, I don't know."

Lin Ruijin also thought about it, nodded and said: "That's right, I went to practice martial arts early in the morning, and then I saw my mother and the others were busy, so I went out."

Following Wei Ruolan's thoughts, she said: "My sister is going to marry Zicheng, and she may be nervous recently, so it's good to ask some sisters to go to the house to have a good time."

"If Ms. Xue is okay, she will also go to accompany my sister and have a chat. She must have posted a post for the cousins ​​of the Jia family. In fact, we are also bringing our relatives."

Then he said to Xue Biao: "We hit it off right away, and we happened to go to my yard. The wine over there is better than the wine here, and it's also relaxing. What do you think, Brother Xue?"

Xue Biao said gratefully: "The brothers treated Xue Biao like this, so I won't say anything about Xue Biao's gratitude. In the future, whenever Xue is useful, Xue will go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire, and even frown Sorry for the word man!"

Lin Ruijin said in her heart, brother, you are really being sold and counting the money, you really deserve your sister to be missed!

The brothers and sister Xue Biao followed Lin Ruijin to the Lin's house and performed a full set of plays. Daiyu was very understanding and accepted the pot of posting posts for her cousins, and also wrote posts in the past.

The three of Honghui also sent someone to the house to say that they would stay overnight at Lin Ruijin's place and would not go back, and they also told Aunt Xue that they were at Lin's house.

Both Jia Min and Daiyu liked this beautiful and intelligent girl very much. Daiyu immediately took her back to her yard and whispered to her.

Jia Min secretly called Lin Ruijin out and asked him: "Jin'er, tell your mother the truth, but you fell in love with Miss Xue? If you fall in love with her, our family doesn't care about family status."

"Although this girl is from an imperial businessman, her speech and behavior are different from Miss Xue's. You can't think about it. Our Lin family is different from your grandfather's family. You should know that concubines and bastards are It is the root of chaos."

"If you really like it, my mother will officially hire you, but you can't do those things that are more polite."

Lin Ruijin quickly grabbed the old lady's hand, talked about the matter like this, and continued: "So, mother, it's not your son who broke the idea, it's that hypocrite Wei Ruolan, and the son is for him." Clean up the mess."

Jia Min nodded and said: "My son is still young, so there is no need to worry about these things, but the Mei family is outrageous, wait for the censor to participate in the performance, and let the emperor leave after making a decision."

Lin Ruijin laughed and said, "How else can I put it, my old lady is still open-minded, she is different from those ignorant women!"

Jia Min slapped him with a smile and scolded: "You bastard, I only know how to feed your mother soup, hurry up and play with your children."

Lin Hai's cold snort came from the door: "Ma'am, it's been 15 years, and now you can see the true face of this brat."

Lin Ruijin rolled her eyes and said, "Mother, let me tell you, my son was in Hongyuan Building..."

Lin Hai quickly interrupted: "Stinky boy, why don't you hurry up and entertain your guests?" Seeing Lin Ruijin snorting, Lin Hai cursed: "I really owe you! All right, someone from the Mei family will come later, Lao Tzu sent you."

Lin Ruijin said happily: "Father, you have been tired all day, this tea has just been brewed, you can try it."

Lin Hai kicked him with a smile, and then said: "Drinking your tea, the price is too high, I can't afford it, why don't you hurry up?"

Jia Min smiled and said: "Husband, what happened to Hongyuan Building?"

Lin Hai's eyelids twitched, and he said, "So what..." Just as he was about to say it, he looked back and saw that Lin Ruijin was still making faces, and immediately said angrily: "It's too much, your skin is itchy, don't think that I I don't know where the flyover is..."

Lin Ruijin hurriedly said: "Father, please explain slowly, my son will leave!" After speaking, she slid away and disappeared at that speed.

As for how Lin Hai explained to Jia Min later, Lin Ruijin didn't know about being hugged by a crazy woman in front of Hongyuan Building and called her husband.

Why do you ask Lin Ruijin to know?Can he say that the mad woman is just disguised by himself who lost the bet?

In the evening, Mei Hanlin really came to Lin's house in person, Lin Hai just called Xue Biao, after Xue Biao refused face to face, Mei Hanlin had no choice but to return the token in front of Lin Hai.

The next day, in the early court, Mei Hanlin sighed in front of the imperial censor, because his wife had suffered a lot with him in the early years, and he had never been ruthless in discipline, so he caused such an injustice.

He also said that he was not strict in managing his family, and that he was ashamed of the emperor's grace, so he asked the emperor to allow him to resign and return home. After all, if one family is dead, why should the family and the country do it?

Kangxi was ashamed and disgusted when he learned about Mei Hanlin's early years, including allowing his wife to shield him from the wind, especially his indifference to his biological parents.

Speaking of which, Kangxi was a truly dutiful son, who lost his mother at the age of 10.When his mother was seriously ill, Kangxi waited on him day and night, tasted the soup and medicine himself, his eyes were blindfolded, and his clothes were not untied.

Even for the empress dowager, the aunt, whether he did it for politics or to show off to his ministers and workers, he really managed to rule the world with filial piety.

Therefore, if Mei Hanlin took over his parents to take care of him, but left his brother alone, Kangxi would not be too angry, but his actions were unfilial. .

Also, if there is no acquiescence from him in the matter of regretting the marriage, how would Mrs. Chen dare to be so blatant?You know, the Xue family was a life-saving grace to the Mei family. It can be said that without Xue Baoqin's father, even if Mei Hanlin could have survived, he would not be where he is today.

Then, what Mei Hanlin did after the death of Xue Gong was undoubtedly to make things worse.

Naturally, Kangxi couldn't tolerate it. However, thinking that these were all his family affairs after all, and Mei Hanlin had worked hard without credit for these years, and he dealt with it too hard, which would actually chill the hearts of other courtiers.

Therefore, Kangxi still saved face for him, granted his request, and let him go back to take care of his old age.

After thanking the emperor, Mei Hanlin seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. He took off his crown and staggered out of the hall step by step, but his behavior was hard to be sympathized with.

When he is successful, he is rampant. Now that he is down and out, what face does he have when he returns to his hometown?In addition, over the years, Mrs. Mei has made enemies everywhere, it is already generous for everyone not to take the opportunity to ridicule her.

Only the crown prince was grateful for the most difficult time in the East Palace. Mei Hanlin was just a Jinshi at that time, so he advised him and even reminded him. Still have to show weakness.

Therefore, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only the crown prince came to send him out of the palace, and then asked his cousin to send him out of Beijing, which really saved his face.

After Kangxi knew about it, not only was he not angry with the prince's actions, but he was very satisfied with his benevolence and righteousness, so he sighed to Liang Jiugong: "The prince is a man of affection, and he will be a good king in the future."

However, it is said that Mei Hanlin still couldn't stand the gap, and died of illness shortly after returning to his hometown.

Xue Baochai was very angry when Mei Hanlin left, or in other words, did not climb the line of the Mei family. She felt that the Xue Biao brothers and sisters were not thinking about the overall situation at all. Is it far from being restored to its glory?

Why can't they think about the Xue family?Besides, Xue Baoqin married Young Master Mei, because of such a trouble, would the Mei family dare to treat her slowly?This is not wronged Xue Baoqin at all!

Sure enough, cousins, who are not relatives, are not relatives. They only consider everything for themselves, and they never thought about how difficult it is for this cousin to serve the nobleman with fear every day.

Especially not long after, when Xue Baochai heard that Wei Ruolan, the grandson of Princess Dachang, asked the emperor to marry Xue Baoqin, Xue Baochai became even more jealous.

They are all girls from the Xue family, why is she taking all the benefits by herself, Xue Baoqin, the whole family of Erfang regards her as a treasure, and it is fine to take her to travel around the mountains and rivers to increase their knowledge since childhood.

Now both of them have only a widowed mother and an elder brother, but Xue Biao treats Xue Baoqin with consideration for his younger sister and arranges everything properly.

And her elder brother Xue Pan, besides spending money on food and wine every day, how can he be responsible?As long as Xue Pan has a little bit of slack, she doesn't need to plan so hard.
