Queen of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Wanyu still has one year to leave her filial piety, but she can't dress too plainly when going to the palace.When she went out in the morning, she was wearing light green, Daiyu was wearing light blue, and Lin Ping was wearing a blue robe. The two sisters didn't even have a purse on their bodies, only a few silver hairpins on their heads, which was considered complete. The etiquette in the palace barely exceeded the standard of filial piety.

But now when I went to see Nanny Lai, thinking about the letter from the Jia family when my father was demoted last year, it was too chilling, so Wanyu decided to make people wait a little longer.

Anyway, this is a feudal society, she is the emperor's own lord, and Nanny Lai is a slave, and the two of them are essentially class antagonistic.Besides, it's Rongfu's business to get favor and face for Nanny Lai in Rongfu, but here is Linfu, she has the final say.Just like she wanted to see the empress, she had to wait for the empress to summon her. How could Lai Momo come to the door so rashly, how could she follow her wish so easily?

Nanny Lai waited anxiously in the small hall, but the servants of Lin's mansion went through Wanyu's buying and selling several times, strictly trained them, and their mouths were extremely strict, so no matter what Nanny Lai asked, their answers Both: I am a servant, how can I know the whereabouts of the master.After speaking, she looked at Nanny Lai with disapproving eyes, why do you want to inquire about my master's affairs?

Nanny Lai came after eating in the morning, and after waiting for almost two hours, it was already lunch time before Wanyu came in.Nanny Lai went up to say good luck, even though she had a teenage grandson, but the child was born early, she is only fifty now, but there are many wrinkles in the corners of her eyes when she laughed abruptly. "Hi girl, I saw you earlier when I came back with my aunt. It seems that several years have passed, and the girl has grown up."

Wanyu had a cold face, she always had this posture for outsiders, putting reserve first, "Please sit down, Mammy."

"Don't dare." Nanny Lai smiled apologetically.

If it was in Jia's house, both parties would say politely again, and then Nanny Lai would plead guilty and sit on a small bench.But this is not Jia's Mansion, Wanyu saw that Nanny Lai's bright clothes were not pleasing to the eye, so she hummed and changed the subject.

"It's still my mother's filial piety period. I only come here after reading the scriptures in the morning. Mama must have waited for a long time." Wanyu spoke in a breathless voice, vividly interpreting a weak and helpless miserable image.

Only then did Madam Lai see that Wanyu was almost dressed in white. Although it was not coarse cloth, it was much worse than silk.Nanny Lai smiled embarrassingly. When she came out in the morning, she only thought about going to the Marquis's Mansion. The old lady and the wife didn't even ask her. She didn't even remember that she was still in Jia Min's filial piety.

Of course, the period of filial piety for Jia Min in the Rong Mansion is only seven months at most, which has passed long ago, but considering the explanations of the Rong Mansion's masters in the past two days, it seems that it is more appropriate to wear a suit.

Nanny Lai had an uncomfortable expression on her face, but after living for so many years, she quickly adjusted. "The old lady sent me here today to see how the girl is doing recently. If there is nothing else, I can go to the house to have a look. I haven't seen you for almost two years. The old lady misses you very much."

Wanyu wanted to sneer a bit, what he said, the letter was still kept in the study back then, you guys forget it quickly, the three of us in the Lin family have a good memory. "Nurse..." Wanyu paused, as if she was thinking about what to say, "I'm still in the period of filial piety, so I can't go anywhere. Rong Mansion... Well, you go back and tell grandma that you will be born next year." I will go there after the filial piety."

That's not what the old lady said when she went out in the morning. Although she didn't tell Nanny Lai why, the old lady meant that Wanyu must come to Rongfu. "Girl, your second cousin got a new girl. She's made of powder and carved with jade. She's very cute. You'll like it at first glance. Next month will be Baitianjiu..."

Wanyu didn't wait for Nanny Lai to finish, and said coldly, "I'm still in the period of filial piety, so I can't go to such a happy event." Hmph, aside from Jia Min's filial piety period of only seven months, Jia Zhu lost Jia Lian It takes a full year, nine months of pregnancy, plus the child is now two months old, the timing of this child's pregnancy is a little delicate.

"They're all relatives of our own family." Madam Lai said, "It's okay."

Wanyu has free time, but she is not in the mood to argue with her. Anyway, the conversation is over, and her patience is worn out. She stood up, "I still have to go to chant scriptures, and it's time for Mammy to go."

The smile on Nanny Lai's face hardened suddenly, she really didn't speak like this, for things like seeing off guests, she said softly "have some more tea", and said forcefully "please do what you want", Lai Mammy lived her whole life, and this was the first time she received the words "it's almost time to go", and it was also the first time in more than twenty years that someone gave her no face.

The blood surges up, the blood goes up.Nanny Lai couldn't laugh anymore, she was so shocked that she didn't know what to say, and by the time she realized it, she had already boarded the carriage back to Rongfu.

But when I go back to the Rong Mansion, I have to think about how to reply. I can’t just repeat it directly. Although Nanny Lai said that Wanyu is a big girl, compared with herself, she still feels that Wanyu has not grown up yet. , and the old lady was also angry for a while, but she still had to show that Wanyu didn't want to come back, so Nanny Lai went to see Mother Jia with a sad face.

"Old lady, the eldest girl looks very weak, and her voice has no confidence. It must be because she misses her aunt." She said and wiped away two tears, "She has to recite scriptures several times a day, alas... I saw She looks like this, and she is keeping a filial piety for her mother, so I can't say anything about inviting her to drink, I just say that the old lady misses her granddaughter, and invite her to sit at the house."

Mother Jia was quite satisfied with this answer, but she still needed to know the result, "When did she come?"

"The eldest girl said that she will come back after the filial piety."

Another year? "That's too late!" Mother Jia swears sternly once, but looking at Nanny Lai who doesn't know anything, Mother Jia comforted: "Go back first, you've worked hard all day today, take a good rest, and I'll take a rest tonight." Tell the girls to bring you some wine."

Grandma Lai left.

Mother Jia thought about it and was worried, so she called Mrs. Wang over again.With so many masters in the Rong Mansion, Mrs. Wang is the only one who can discuss matters.The old family's stepwife is so small that she can't get on the stage. Li Wan is considered a widow and doesn't come out when she has nothing to do. As for Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, although she is the eldest grandson of the Rong Mansion, she has just given birth. I don't get along well with Mrs. Wang, so there is always a turbulent attitude when meeting.

Besides how long she has only been here, it is naturally not as good as Mrs. Wang who has given birth to three children to Rongfu.

"Wanyu didn't agree?" Mrs. Wang guessed that Madam Lai's trip was not going well when she saw Jia Mu's gloomy face.

Jia Mu nodded and said, "She can only come when she can tell the time of filial piety."

"It's too late!" Mrs. Wang said exactly the same thing to Jia's mother.

Mother Jia glared at her, as if she thought her voice was too loud. "I don't know." Jia's mother was also thinking silently in her heart. Yuan Chun entered the seventh prince's mansion, and the man next door married Qin Keqing, so he got in touch with the king of Beijing County and the second prince. The mansion is firmly on the ground, but who would have thought that the crown prince would be reset, and the emperor's move caught the beating people by surprise.Now that the Jia family wants to change to the prince, they have to find someone to lead the way, such as Lin Ruhai who has been reinstated as an official, and Wanyu who has entered the palace very diligently.

When it comes to Jia Rong's marriage next door, it's really full of twists and turns.First, someone from the King of Beijing acted as a matchmaker, saying that Qin Keqing was the prince's illegitimate daughter, but then Wanyu's words made Jia's mother suspicious. After careful investigation, she finally resigned. The doorman personally came to the door, explaining that this person is the second prince's daughter, it was just a test at the beginning, but now knowing that Jia's family is a good family who is not afraid of power, he felt relieved to marry his daughter.

Mrs. Wang's frown became more and more tight, "Old lady, it's okay to just reset, but many nobles in the palace have been reprimanded, and the second prince and the prince don't seem to get along very well. We..."

Who said no, the second prince dared to use his illegitimate daughter to frame the prince, although the explanation later was a test, but after thinking about it carefully, the Ning family agreed at the beginning, and really planned to treat her as the prince's illegitimate daughter Married here, so if something happens in the future, won't it have to be blamed on the crown prince?

Mother Jia thought for a while, "You go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to see Yuan Chun, the concubine in her mansion just passed away, you tell Yuan Chun to hurry up, and the dowry girl, let Yuan Chun make good use of it." Itchy, the mother concubine of the seventh prince will be demoted as soon as the prince is released. The prince will definitely not let the seventh prince go, but they are all brothers after all. In the future, they can be crowned prince no matter what. Yuan Chun is already a side concubine. The benefits of being able to give birth to a son before the concubine is indispensable.

Mrs. Wang nodded, and said, "Then Lin Mansion?"

"That's my granddaughter, Min'er's own flesh and blood, broken bones are connected with tendons, and she can't be separated." Jia Mu said: "After two days, when Mrs. Yu can go out, let her invite her. Back then she The marriage with Lian'er was set up by Lin Ruhai, and he will always give it to him."

"What the old lady said is, do you want to..." Mrs. Wang thought for a while, and said: "Earlier Lian'er often went to deliver some things, but then stopped because of..., or let him deliver more?"

Mother Jia hummed, in short, now she has to do both things, she can grasp what is what, she waved Mrs. Wang out, rested for a while and drank a cup of ginseng tea, feeling that her mental strength had returned, and said: "Go and invite the old man to come over." ,I have something to say."

Turning his gaze back to the Lin residence, since Lin Ruhai returned to the cabinet, he spent more time in the palace, and more people invited him to eat and drink, so he only arrived home in the afternoon.

"Master, the mother-in-law of the Rong Mansion is here today."

Lin Ruhai changed into normal clothes, washed up through the screen, and listened to the butler's report on the day's events.

In general, it is left to Wanyu to take care of it, but there are some things that Wanyu is inconvenient to take care of, so he still has to come forward.

Hearing the arrival from the Rong Mansion, Lin Ruhai hummed, indicating that this should be explained in detail.

"It's Mammy Lai who came here, and invited the girls to the hundred-day wine given by Erye Lian's new girl, but the eldest girl refused, saying that she couldn't go out because she didn't have a filial piety."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing, Wanyu still remembered her grudge, "Okay, I understand."

The butler went on.

During dinner, Lin Ruhai couldn't help talking about this issue with Wanyu.

"How could you just refuse?" Although Lin Ruhai had a stern face, she didn't look too angry, so Wanyu said boldly, "If you don't refuse, why don't you go? I still have filial piety in me, go Whose family is so unlucky." After saying this, Wanyu herself was stunned for a moment, thoughtfully, "So, in fact, I should go..."

"It's not about this." Lin Ruhai brought the topic back, "At a time like this, you can push the matter to the father, and just say that you can't be the master." Lin Ruhai wanted to use this matter to teach her daughter.

Wanyu is courageous and careful, and she does things neatly, but it's a pity that she was born into a daughter... Regarding the restoration of the abolished prince, he thought it would be good to protect himself, and it's not that there is no support from the court The abolition of the crown prince, but the frequent handouts are of no use at all. Who knows that since Wanyu said that she was going to enter the palace, within a month, the abolished crown prince was reinstated.

"I'm impatient to talk to them, what I said at the beginning, and now I pick it up again." Wanyu was not polite when talking to Lin Ruhai.

"You don't want your reputation?" Lin Ruhai asked rhetorically. He felt that his daughter was not good. He could tell who he disliked from his face. People can see some clues.

"It was they who said that they were not allowed to come to the door during the filial piety period. I just followed their wishes. Besides, I can't marry into Jia's mansion, and now I'm made a township monarch. What kind of reputation is this?" Wanyu curled her lips.

Lin Ruhai's old face was a little red, and it's not good for his daughter to speak too directly. He slapped the table and said, "That's your grandmother, they are elders. If you push it to your father, they can't find it anyway." Let me tell you that your reputation is not damaged." Lin Ruhai sighed, "Girls, reputation is still important."

Wanyu couldn't see her family being sad, so she gave in and said in a low voice: "I see, I actually pretended to be sick this morning and didn't confront her."

Lin Ruhai just nodded, still a little worried, he thought about teaching his daughter and son well, even with Wanyu's temperament, he didn't ask her to turn it around, as long as he could live on the surface.

After educating his daughter, Lin Ruhai said softly, "Did you enter the palace this morning? What did the empress say?"

Wanyu started to talk about entering the palace in the morning again.

After a few days, news spread in the capital that it was the Second Master Lian of the Rong Mansion, who had been beaten by his father, and was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed anymore. I also cried all day anxiously, and didn't care about anything.

Seeing that the daughter is going to be a hundred days old, and her parents have problems, they may not be able to attend.This was told as a joke, Wanyu listened to it, and treated it as gossip, but two days later, the people at the door of the Lin family sent a gift box, saying that it was given by Jia Lian. The girl and the young master enjoyed it.

For Lin Ping is a jade statue, for her and Daiyu are two sets of jewelry.

It's not like Jia Lian's style.Daiyu looked and looked at the two sets of jewelry over and over again, and said: "This is not a gift from Lian's second brother, it doesn't mean that your leg is about to be broken, why do you have time to do this?"

"I don't think so either." Wanyu agreed, "Aside from other things, his eyesight is pretty good, but I haven't seen him for two years, so how come he has regressed."

The two sisters thought well, this thing was indeed not sent by Jia Lian.

Earlier, the old lady called Jia She over and said that she wanted to get in touch with the Lin family again, so Jia She went back to find Jia Lian.

"Give them the little things in your shop." Jia She explained.

Jia Lian didn't realize it at first, who are the three of them?But Jia Amnesty had a bad temper, and Jia Lian asked softly, "Which family did the father say?"

"Your aunt's." Jia She looked disgusted, as if he felt that his son couldn't figure out his intentions, and was stupid to death, "The old lady ordered, you should do this quickly."

Jia Lian nodded thoughtfully, and Jia Amnesty left in peace.

But when I came to ask on the second day, the item was not sent out, and when I came to ask on the third day, it was still not sent out.Jia She was angry, "Why are you pushing back and forth on what the old lady told you!" After speaking, he grabbed Jia Lian by the collar as if pulling him out, "Go tell the old lady with me, don't tell me you still want money! "

After all, Jia Lian was young and strong, and Jia Amnesty couldn't pull him away with just a little effort.However, thinking about his father's face, Jia Lian tightly pulled the door frame, straightened his neck, and said, "Father was the one who refused to let go earlier, but now he has let him go. I haven't even arrived for a year. I feel so ashamed and panic. Sorry for this face!"

Jia She was furious, and slapped his son on the ground with a slap, "You are not a filial son! It's not my fault. Are you going or not!"

Jia Lian shrank his neck and shook his head slightly, "No!" His voice was short.

"Okay! Okay!" Jia She blushed angrily, swept his neck around, picked up the stool and threw it on Jia Lian, "I'll make you disobedient!"

Jia Amnesty was strong, but after a few strokes, Jia Lian fell limp on the ground. Seeing that something was wrong, the young man next to him hurried up to dissuade him, "Master, be gentle with me. If there is anything wrong with Second Master, you will be the second one if you teach me well."

Being dragged away by a few servants, Jia She was discouraged, sat on the side and panted, "Tomorrow you go to the Lin Mansion!"

But before the next day, Jia Lian couldn't get up now, saying it was a backache.The doctor came to take a look, well, this bone is cracked, stay in bed, he will be injured for a hundred days, and he will not be able to go out for three months.

When Mrs. Yu heard the news, seeing her husband lying upright on the bed and unable to move, she hugged her daughter and passed out from crying.

Angrily, Jia's mother threw several teacups with Jia Amnesty, "I'll tell you this! You can do this!"

Jia Amnesty's behavior in front of Jia's mother was the same as Jia Lian's, shrinking his neck and saying: "He is so unbelievable, he is so mad at me!"

But in this way, not only Jia Lian couldn't get out, but even the Yu family couldn't go to the Lin Mansion to send invitations. Jia's mother had no choice but to re-appoint someone to send the things in Jia Lian's name.

It had been several months since this news had reached the Lin Mansion, and it was the servants in Jia's Mansion who didn't have an embarrassment in their mouths.

Wanyu smiled and said to Daiyu: "It seems that this second cousin is not ignorant."

Daiyu nodded, "Uncle's family must not be doing very well, and there is still a lot of resentment in their hearts, otherwise why would they take such a heavy hand."

From winter to spring and another year, the three children of the Lin family are out of their filial piety.

The crown prince has always been cautious since his restoration, although Wanyu can sometimes see the coldness in his eyes, but this has nothing to do with Wanyu, no one has two dark thoughts in his mind, thinking about it will not break the law, as long as the crown prince is safe and sound , the throne is indispensable to him.

As for the Seventh Prince who was very likely to inherit the throne, the backyard of his mansion is now a mess.

The concubine Zhao has been in poor health since the miscarriage, and has been bedridden from time to time.The affairs of the inner court were handed over to two concubines, one of whom was Wanyu's cousin Yuanchun.

The two side concubines fought happily, and the maids around them all got into the seventh prince's bed.However, there are only two concubine sons in his house, and there are small conflicts from time to time.

The backyard is unstable, and there is no son-in-law after the age of [-], and the prince is standing there properly, presumably he has no chance to be a big man in this life.

Wanyu smiled, Crown Prince, you have to work hard, I hope you can say something nice to me for the sake of the throne in the future.
