The Mighty First Wife of the Red Chamber

Ge Haofeng, the sixth son of the Ge family, is rare in talent and fame. When he was 15 years old, he took part in the provincial examination and won the Jieyuan Award. When his biological mother passed away, Ge Haofeng stayed in filial piety for three years and was unable to continue his scientific research.After the period of filial piety expired, he changed his mind and stopped thinking about fame. Instead, he followed the example of those talented scholars and poets. The old man was not happy to see him not doing his job properly. He also advised him, beat him, and scolded him, but it remained the same afterwards. In the end, old man Ge didn't care. Turn back, and it's not too late to work hard on the scientific examination.It's just that Ge Haofeng didn't return home for a long time, and the wedding date was really delayed. It has been delayed until 21 and [-]. Others have already become the age of a baby's father, but he has not yet married.

As the saying goes: A long sister-in-law is like a mother.Ge Haofeng is the youngest, and he is different from his eldest brother Ge Haoxu. Moreover, Ge Haofeng had all daughters before, and the eldest son was still a bastard. Therefore, Mrs. Ge has a very good affection for this uncle, and she almost treats her as a son. Just when Ge Haofeng came home, she recruited him with great joy, told about the girl from the Lin family, and said happily: "Haofeng, you usually have high eyesight, and ordinary girls can't catch your eyes. Find someone who is both talented and beautiful. It was only now that others didn't know, but my sister-in-law knew it. The girl Lin I saw today is not only first-class in appearance, but also her bearing and elegance are simply...unbelievable. My sister-in-law can also be counted. It's the first time I saw her, and I heard that she hasn't betrothed to anyone yet, and I just want to make you a couple. It just so happens that the old lady also has the same intention. I really see the same thing. It can be seen that you and Miss Lin are really good. What a match made in heaven!"

Ge Haofeng raised his thick black eyebrows, and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I can't believe your eyes, but Haofeng only wishes to be a couple for the rest of my life. Is it just what Haofeng wishes in his heart? You have to see it with your own eyes to be sure. Know."

This Ge Haofeng has a bit of a weird temper, and Ge's mansion was originally like other families in Beijing. Before the young master gets married, there are usually one or two people in the house, most of whom are converted by maids or maids given by parents. , I sent them away if they couldn't get along, but generally speaking, it's common for one wife and one concubine or two concubines.It's just that Ge Haofeng is different, he doesn't want this housemaid before marrying a wife, and even said that he doesn't care about his family background when he marries a wife. To marry a like-minded man.

Mrs. Ge said angrily: "You, you, you just don't change your weird temper! The girl in the boudoir, how can you, a strange man, see you casually? If you see it and don't like it, the girl won't let you go!" Embarrassed?"

Ge Haofeng bowed his head and thought for a while, and said: "Well, if my sister-in-law vouches for her appearance, I believe it. If you don't see it, you won't see it. It's just this word, and my sister-in-law can't tell the difference. How can I know if I can agree with her?" pass?"

Is it my uncle or not my own son, otherwise Mrs. Ge would like to poke his elm head with her finger at this moment, why would she screw it up like this? Then he said: "You can also judge your appearance by yourself. Miss Lin lives in our house now. I can lure her out tomorrow. You can hide and have a look. Don't show up, and secretly judge whether my vision is okay. As for the talent Well, I also have a rough grasp of a few lines of poetry, and I'll see if I can attract others tomorrow, so that Miss Lin can show a little bit of talent. However, I see that Miss Lin is cautious in everything, and a woman who is prosperous nowadays is virtuous without talent, and she may not be willing. Show off your cleverness."

When Ge Haofeng heard this, he was very happy, and hurriedly bowed to Madam Ge to thank him, and said: "The only one who has worked hard to plan for Haofeng is my sister-in-law."

When Mrs. Ge led Daiyu the next day to sit in the octagonal pavilion in the back garden of Ge Mansion to enjoy the garden scenery, Ge Haofeng saw him hiding in the shade of flowers, and suddenly felt that his soul was about to fly away. It's the kind of literary grace that shines in the bones, even if you just glance at it from such a distance, you can guess that this girl from the Lin family is a wonderful person with a poetic and literary spirit.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ge talked about poetry with a smile. Although Daiyu was proud of her poetic talent, she refused to show it off at all. She only said that she "had read "Four Books" and knew a few words." But Ge Haofeng never believed that Miss Lin with such a bearing Just rough writing.

Mrs. Ge saw that Daiyu didn't seem interested in talking about poetry, so she changed the subject and said, "Miss Lin, there is a garden outside our house where there is a whole forest of plum blossoms. At this time, the flowers are blooming like a sea, and they are fragrant. , It’s very gratifying. I got up late today, and we’ll catch up early tomorrow and take the car there. Miss Lin will know after appreciating it, she really deserves the word "sea of ​​flowers."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "No, Mrs. Xie's kindness, but Daiyu has been away for two days, and she should go back, otherwise, I'm afraid my grandmother will worry."

Mrs. Ge sighed and said, "You are a polite person, but people in Jia's house are unpredictable, Miss Lin had better plan ahead."

Daiyu lowered her head and said: "Daiyu knows, so Daiyu plans to move out and establish her own family, and there may still be many things to rely on Madam."

Mrs. Ge said with a smile: "I won't say any polite words. It's what I should have done. It's just that it's really inconvenient for you, a little girl, to move out of Jia's house. It's better to settle the marriage earlier. The old man said that my sixth uncle, who is not yet married, was born with a good-looking talent. He took the provincial examination at the age of 15 and won Jieyuan, but he is worthy of Miss Lin. I don’t know..."

Daiyu hastily interrupted Mrs. Ge's words, and said, "Daiyu is very grateful for Madam Ge's kindness. I'm afraid Daiyu won't be able to climb high."

The gentle smile on Mrs. Ge's face froze, and she said, "What did Miss Lin say? The friendship between our two families, and the name of your Lin family, are there any things that are high or low. From our point of view, the girl and my family Liu Lang is really a perfect match, if you hadn't come to the capital, you wouldn't be able to, so it can be seen that a thousand miles of marriage is bound by a thread."

Daiyu lowered her head and said in a low voice: "It's not that Daiyu is arrogant, it's that Daiyu wants to comfort her parents in heaven and rejuvenate the Lin family, so Daiyu wants to establish her own family, and then recruit a husband. Secondly, as long as you voluntarily enter into the marriage, you are in good health, your appearance is attractive, and you are considered to be self-motivated, that's fine."

Mrs. Ge was completely petrified.

Ge Haofeng, who was listening to all the words on the side, also sank his face, and his high-spirited and excited heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave: Recruit?It's the door-to-door son-in-law. Is it a poor family's last resort because they can't marry a daughter-in-law?How could it be possible for him, the sixth son of the Ge family, to enter the family of his wife?

For a while, Mrs. Ge sent Daiyu back to her room, and passed by her uncle's courtyard on the way, and saw him listlessly reading a book, but the book was upside down, she sighed and asked, "Did you hear that? "

Ge Haofeng remained silent.

Mrs. Ge knew that Ge Haofeng must have taken a fancy to Miss Lin's appearance at a glance, but was discouraged by the word "marriage", so she was so lost, she explained to him, "Forget it, since Miss Lin has the ambition In this way, it is running counter to us. She is the reincarnation of the Seven Fairies, but she has no fate with you. There is no grass in the end of the world, and my sister-in-law will help you pay attention to it in another day, and see if there is anyone similar to Miss Lin in other boudoir Xiuying ?”

Ge Haofeng said sullenly: "Don't bother my sister-in-law to worry about it. Haofeng will go on a long trip again in the future, let's talk about it."

Mrs. Ge just said a few words, and saw that her brother-in-law was sullenly ignoring others, so she went back by herself.

Ge Haofeng squatted in a corner of the yard in a daze, and after a while he heard two little maids who were sweeping the floor chattering: "Did you know that the Lin girl who came to play in our house raised a mynah who can not only talk, but also sing?" What about poetry?"

"Yes, yes, it's still a very long poem. When the starling recited the poem, his wings were hidden behind his back, and his head was still shaking, just like an old master. It was fun."

"What a pet. I want to go see it again, and tease that bird."

Ge Haofeng got up suddenly, startled the two little servant girls, and said, "Sixth Master, why are you lying around here, but you startled the servant girls a lot."

Ge Haofeng said: "What kind of starling you are talking about, I also want to take a look at it, so you can borrow it and let me have a look."

The little maids didn't expect Liu Ye to be so interested, and they could rely on Liu Ye's light, and they were all overjoyed. After receiving this order, they hurriedly agreed to say "yes", let go and ran away.

Over there, Daiyu heard Zijuan say that the sixth master of Ge's mansion heard about the rarity of this talking parrot. He was curious for a while and wanted to borrow it to have a look. Don't show off when you come out, you just want to come out with this thing, let the people in the family see it, don't say that we children are playful, but like those frivolous and rude, if there is something rare, just show it off !"

Zijuan bowed her head to listen to the training, and said: "I said I wouldn't bring my mynah out, but that mynah recognizes people. If we go for a few days, it won't eat. I'm afraid that something good or bad will happen when I go back hungry, which will damage the girl's life." The things I love, I brought them out together. It was the servant girl who didn’t think carefully, which made it difficult for the girl. However, since the sixth master of Ge’s mansion asked to borrow it to have a look, should I borrow it or not? The girl said something, I It’s good for people to respond.”

Daiyu sighed and said, "Borrow it. After an hour, try to get it back for me."

Zicuckoo hurriedly agreed.

This parrot has colorful feathers, and the way it stands on the parrot stand and combs its feathers with its beak is no different from that of ordinary wealthy people. However, ordinary people's parrots can only gossip, but Miss Lin's parrot is simply a parrot. Like a sentient person, when Ge Haofeng chanted an ancient poem, it stopped combing its feathers, tilted its body sideways, and tilted its head to listen. The intoxicated appearance seemed to have really comprehended the lines in the poem. The meaning is average.When Ge Haofeng stopped, it also let out a long sigh, just like the voice of Miss Lin heard today, and recited a sentence: "Look at the time when the remaining spring flowers are gradually falling, it is the time when the beauty dies. Once the spring is over, the beauty is old, and the flowers fall and people die. I don't know!"

Ge Haofeng was stunned for a moment.
