The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

After the Double Ninth Festival, it is followed by the autumn harvest.The Lin family only has one farm in Beijing, and this farm mainly grows some vegetables for the daily needs of the two masters of the Lin family, so there is no need for any arrangements, but Jia's mansion sent a hundred shi of the newly harvested rice this year. Come here, the Lin family must prepare some gifts in return to show politeness.

Mother Jia took the gift list in return, seeing that it was just some common vegetables and a few jars of chrysanthemum wine, she sighed slightly in her heart, Daiyu's heart towards her and her sisters was good, but after all she was far away from Jia's house. So he didn't say much anymore, just asked people to send all the vegetables to his small kitchen.

The mandarin ducks quietly came back to Jia Mu, there was news about the previous incident, "Yu Chuan'er replied, saying that the rumors were indeed sent out by the second wife, and it seemed that there were some movements in Xue's house, but it was not true. Sure."

Jia's mother sneered, the two sisters really don't know how to stop, but they don't know if there is a shadow of the magnanimous and kind girl Xue behind the rumors, even if they want to marry into her Jia's family, they shouldn't step on her granddaughter The superior, this Miss Xue, stretches her hand too long.

"Go and inform the lady in Pear Fragrance Garden, she knows what to do."

The mandarin ducks hurriedly responded.

Because the Lin family needed to rebuild the courtyard, Lin Jue asked Xie Jinxuan to help find a craftsman. It was a coincidence that the craftsman Xie Jinxuan found was actually Shan Ziye who built the Grand View Garden for the Jia Mansion.Lin Jue stroked his chin, which had grown a little bit of stubble, and smiled like a cat who stole the fish, feeling that he had taken advantage of it.

Now that the Grand View Garden has not yet been built, if he converted his house into a Grand View Garden, wouldn't it be too much of a steal?Forget it, it's better not to do such eye-catching things, after all, Daiyu won't stay at home for a few years, and she is a big man, so why should she be so particular.

After Shan Ziye came to Lin's mansion to have a look at the foundation of the yard, he drew a few design drawings for Lin Jue to choose within a few days.Lin Jue looked very good, so she showed it to Daiyu. The siblings discussed it for two days before they came to a decision.He also found someone to calculate the auspicious days of the zodiac, and set a date with Shan Ziye for the start of construction in the spring of the coming year.

After busying for more than a month, it will be the first day of October in a blink of an eye. "On October [-]st, go to the grave and burn cold clothes", because of this saying, we can know that when the weather turns cold on October [-]st, even the ancestors have to add clothes.

Daiyu had already put on her winter clothes half a month ago, Lin Jue was fine, but after all, she was used to living in the south, so she was not used to the sudden cold in the north.Thinking about my previous life, I was also a strong man in the Northeast. In winter, I wore a down jacket outside, and only a shirt inside was enough. It is not like now. Looking at this thin and small body, I feel bitter for myself when I think about it Tears!

Because the two young masters lived in the south when they were young, the comprador in the mansion bought a lot of good charcoal early on and saved it. Now that it is winter, the earth dragon is lit early, and the house is also warmed up. Toasty.Although it feels a little dry in winter, it is rare to have this kind of thought. Lin Jue praised the comprador very much, and then asked Lin Cheng to reward him.

When the first snow fell, the Jia Mansion sent a post to invite Daiyu to come and stay for a while. Coincidentally, Lin Jue also received a post from Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong. Not only did he invite him, but he was also invited. Daiyu was invited to attend the poetry meeting organized by Princess Dowager Beijing.

Lin Jue rejected the two posts without thinking carefully.

Leaving aside whether a first-rank general's mansion with a Guogong mansion sign can be compared with the county prince's mansion, Lin Jue is not very happy about Daiyu's frequent visits to Jia's mansion.Based on Jia Baoyu's character, if something really spreads out, Baoyu will at most be said to be "lovely", but how will Daiyu behave in the future?

And no matter how the Princess of Beijing knew about Daiyu, there must be many noble family members from Beijing and China participating in such an occasion, and the overall style was much higher than that of the Jia family.Even after seeing the Red Mansion several times, I have never seen Mother Jia take a few granddaughters from concubines to various blind dates in other people's homes in the name of appreciating flowers and composing poems. In the eyes of a dignified family.Otherwise, why would the granddaughters of the Jia family come to ask for marriage without any seriousness?

Thinking about it this way, Lin Jue was more than a thousand and ten thousand unhappy that Daiyu would go, so as not to get caught in the dirty air of Jia's house, which would be bad luck.

However, as to how Princess Beijing knew about Daiyu, and even posted a special post to invite her to go, Lin Jue secretly thought, it is better to inquire with the master, so that they can make preparations, so as not to When it came, I panicked.

Besides, even if Daiyu is going to the banquet held by Princess Dowager Beijing, it is not good for her to go there alone. After all, it is better to find a familiar old lady to take her some, so as not to be bullied by some short-sighted people.Lin Jue didn't recognize such a person, so he still had to trouble his master.

He didn't talk too much at the moment, and went directly to Master Luo's place.

Master Luo and Senior Brother Xie were attending consultations in the shop. They were busy at the moment. Lin Jue was used to coming here, so he found a place to sit and asked someone to go to the opposite tea shop to order some tea and snacks for him. Eating and drinking on their own.When Master Luo was free, Lin Jue had already eaten and drank enough, with his hands folded in his sleeves, and his head dozed off little by little.

Seeing that the teapot and dessert plate in front of Lin Jue were empty, Master Luo ignored him and ate the food delivered by the mansion with Xie Jinxuan before waking up the sleepy-eyed Lin Jue.

Going to find a quiet room in the teahouse opposite, Lin Jue cut to the chase and said, "Prince Princess Beijing sent a message to my sister to invite her to attend a poetry meeting at Prince Jing's Mansion in the future. What do you think she means? Could it be that she has taken a fancy to my sister? "

Luo Song gave him a slap, "Nonsense, Daiyu just came to Beijing, and the concubine has never seen her before, so how could she fall in love? Besides, the King of Beijing is now twenty, and Daiyu is only 12 years old." , and still can't get into the eyes of the concubine."

Lin Jue chuckled, "Even if I fall into the eyes of the concubine, I'm still not willing to marry my sister to the King of Beijing."

Hearing this, Luo Song sneered, "You are so beautiful, King Jing of Beijing is a well-known handsome man in the capital, who has provoked the hearts of many women in the middle of the boudoir, and he has a high vision. Daiyu is a good person, but unfortunately she is too old. Xiao, now you should pay attention to her and take care of her, but you don't need to settle down too early, there will be more good ones in the future."

Lin Jue glanced at his master distrustfully, and Master Luo had no choice but to continue: "Don't overthink, Beijing Palace will post a post for you brothers and sisters, but your senior brother mentioned Daiyu to his sister, Mrs. The concubine just wants to support her, she doesn't have as many thoughts as you said."

Lin Jue smiled slightly when he heard the words, "I'm just saying, why did Princess Beijing invite my sister for no reason? It turns out that there is a brother's handwriting in it." He glanced at Xie Jinxuan, who was blushing, and smiled Said, "So, Jue would like to thank senior brother for his kindness."

Xie Jinxuan coughed twice in embarrassment, and Fang said: "I can't afford to be a junior brother to thank you, but it's just a little effort. You and I are brothers, and Daiyu is just like my own sister."

Lin Jue pursed his lips and looked embarrassed again, Senior Brother Xie asked, "But what's wrong?"

Lin Jue sighed pretentiously, and said: "Senior brother also knows that my brother and sister have lost their husbands and mothers, so they are very picky, not to mention that their parents are like that, it is really unreliable. My sister went to the palace alone. Yan, even though I'm outside, if something happens, I won't be abrupt, and my family members are really worried."

Xie Jinxuan laughed and said, "What should I do? Junior brother, don't worry about it. Senior brother has already mentioned this matter with my sister. At that time, my sister will protect Daiyu. Junior brother, there is nothing to worry about."

Lin Jue really smiled and said, "So, thank you brother."

Lin Jue's abominable appearance of pretending to be obedient while taking advantage of it really made Master Luo's teeth itch with hatred.Then look at my three apprentices, who obviously look shrewd and wise, but when they meet one of their own, they become such silly and sweet IQs, what should I do?In the past, he was bullied by that kind-hearted boy named Shui who hides a traitor in his belly, and now he is eaten to death by his shrewd and tricky little apprentice. It's really for nothing that he has such a shrewd face.

After listening to what Master Luo and Senior Brother Xie said, Lin Jue understood what was going on.Presumably, Xie Jinxuan has also heard some rumors in Beijing in recent days, the rumors are not very clever, if ordinary people listen to it, they will not guess who the protagonist is, but if they are familiar with Daiyu and understand the relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family When people hear this, they will naturally think of Daiyu.In this way, Yu Daiyu's boudoir reputation will be somewhat affected.

In fact, Lin Jue also admitted that Daiyu's incident at Jia's house was indeed a little thoughtless for the servants in the Yingchun yard, but he didn't think it was a big deal, and he just asked Mother Fang to mention Daiyu's two things secretly. That's all.

Daiyu is only a 12-year-old girl, although Lin Jue has already started to talk about Luo Daiyu's lifelong affairs, he is just afraid that Daiyu will make mistakes in her life like those girls in Jia's family, and now she is starting to concentrate on her life. Pick and choose carefully before catching blind in the future, and then find a second-generation ancestor like Baoyu, a greedy and lustful person like Jia Lian, where can he cry?

Moreover, Daiyu has always been used to being cautious in her words and deeds. It is rare that there is such a time, not to mention that once this matter comes out, the people in Jia's house will no longer dare to bully Daiyu openly or secretly. Think about it.Lin Jue didn't want Daiyu to become so perfect, she just wanted to do whatever she wanted.An imperfect, self-willed woman is better than such a beautiful woman who will die in tears.

Rumors are rumors after all, why Mrs. Wang dare not speak so clearly, but she is still thinking about Yuan Chun who is in the palace and Bao Yu who has not yet discussed marriage.After all, if she really said that she would go out, she, the second wife of the housekeeper of Jia's house, would definitely be involved. Wouldn't her two children be implicated by then?No matter how stupid Mrs. Wang is, she will not harm her children.

For Mrs. Wang, a typical woman in the inner house, Lin Jue asked herself that she knew a little bit. Her vision was not far-sighted enough, but her methods were sinister enough.

What Lin Jue has to do is to direct this rumor to his own advantage.And he would not intentionally harm the Jia family, after all, the Jia family was still his maternal ancestral family in name, if the Jia family was knocked down, it would be of no benefit to him as a small person.

Now Senior Brother Xie is making a move to rectify Daiyu's name under the name of Princess Beijing, but it couldn't be better.The Jia family slapped themselves, hoping that Mrs. Wang would be smart and stop messing with the Lin family.
