The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Things have progressed to this point, Jia Mu, the highest authority in Jia's mansion, doesn't speak, Tanchun's aunt Mrs. Wang doesn't speak, Mrs. Xing Youshi can't intervene, Li Wanfeng's sister is even less qualified to intervene, and others are even more difficult to speak. what.

Tan Chun was originally a shrewd and capable person, but at this moment she didn't know how to deal with it, she just looked at the crowd pitifully, but no one was willing to stand up for her.

Aunt Xue's lips trembled for a long time, but she didn't dare to say "no". With the name of Ziwei Sheren, her family is indeed rich, but after all it is not as good as the princes of the government, and she doesn't even have a low-grade imperial title.Because of this, even her daughter was pushed down by others.

Aunt Xue has troubles and can't tell, Tanchun is indeed a good person. It is good to marry such a daughter-in-law, not to mention her background, at least she is more powerful, and has some means to control Pan'er's progress.It's just that, if this marriage is accepted, it means that her daughter's way of marrying into the Hou's mansion will be cut off. This is how she chooses.

Yuan Chun's face was getting colder, as if impatient, and the way he looked at Aunt Xue was no longer as warm as before.Aunt Xue gritted her teeth, her son is useless, but this daughter is the most caring, and she can't ruin her life even if she tries her best.Just as Aunt Xue was about to speak, she felt her sleeves being pulled by someone. When she looked back, it was Baochai.

Baochai got up from the stool, and Yingying prostrated herself in front of Yuanchun. Although her voice was a little choked, she articulated clearly, word by word: "Your Majesty is kind, I shouldn't say goodbye, but my little girl's elder brother is a worthless man. I'm afraid the women in the mansion don't know it, and it's dirty to the mother's ears. Sister Tanchun and I are familiar, she is a good person, I really can't bear to hurt Sister Tanchun because of my own selfishness."

Yuan Chun smiled coldly, "This is really strange. I heard that Brother Pan is very protective of Sister Baochai, but I don't know that in your eyes, Brother Pan is not even suitable for a concubine from the Hou family. Such a person It is really unbearable to be an imperial merchant."

Xue's mother and daughter were suddenly startled, the title of imperial merchant is the capital for them to settle down.The four families of King Xue of Jia Shi are united in the same spirit. Now that the Xue family is weak, if they lose this title again, they will truly become merchants. It may be difficult for an ordinary scholarly family to enter. If things go on like this, I am afraid that the Xue family will not survive!

In a short while, Xue Baochai figured out all the key points, and bowed his head again: "My little girl has no such intentions, but my sister Tanchun is from the Hou family, and I am afraid that she will be wronged by marrying Xue's family. If the mother agrees to the marriage, it is true It's Xuemen's luck."

Yuan Baochai could have cast this problem on Tanchun, but at this moment she really didn't dare.So what if Tanchun's brilliant tongue changed Concubine Xiande's mind, in the end it was the Xue family's fault.If the Xue family does not marry Tanchun, the title of the imperial merchant will be taken away. If Tanchun does not agree, the Xue family cannot marry Tanchun, and the title will still be taken away. up.

Once the road to Qingyun was blocked, Baochai was only full of tiredness.Looking at the colorful phoenix crowns of the people in front of her, Baochai couldn't hold back anymore, the tears that had been in her eyes rolled down, soaking a piece of clothes under her chin.

Looking at this scene with cold eyes, Daiyu inevitably felt a little more sad in her heart, for Tanchun, for Baochai, and more or less for herself.What if I, like Tanchun, were forced to marry someone I didn't love, or even someone I hated a bit?What would happen to him if his elder brother was forced to marry a woman he didn't like?Daiyu gritted her teeth, probably... Even if she dies, she must keep her true heart!

After Baochai softened, Yuan Chun's complexion softened, and he smiled and said to the female official beside him: "Look at this aunt, Bengong, who is so happy, she is crying with joy. Hurry up and help your aunt and sister to wash up in the back. We delayed the banquet later." Then he said to Sister Yingchun, "Looking at your third sister, when you hear that you are getting married, you start to feel reluctant to stay home, and take her down to dress up again, and you will have to pay back later. If you want to ask Brother Pan to look at each other, you can't lose your ugliness."

Sister Yingchun hurriedly helped Tanchun, who was weak all over, to go down.Knowing that it was Yuan Chun who sent them away on purpose, Daiyu didn't leave any objection, and found an excuse to follow them out.

After everyone left, Yuan Chunfang leaned on the seat, smiled and said to Mrs. Xing: "The eldest wife is also old, and she is tired after walking for a long time like this. Why don't sisters-in-law Zhen and Zhu Eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law Lian help you down to rest?"

Mrs. Xing was the most ungrateful, and just about to say "not tired", she was slapped by Sister Feng, and said with a smile: "Exactly, Madam just said that she was a little tired, but I really miss seeing you for a long time , and kept on holding on. It’s still empress sympathy, let’s help the eldest wife to rest in the back, so don’t delay the time when empress returns to the palace.”

After speaking, he hurriedly dragged Mrs. Xing and You Shi Li Wan away.

After everyone had left, there were only three Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jiamu Yuanchun left. With tears in his eyes, Yuan Chunfang knelt down in front of Mrs. Jia and said, "Did the old ancestor blame his granddaughter?"

Jia's mother hurriedly got up and helped Yuan Chun up, "I don't dare to do this."

Yuan Chunfu knelt down again, "The ancestor must have blamed his granddaughter."

Mrs. Wang also went up to help Yuanchun, "What are you doing, Madam, but you've broken us."

Seeing that she couldn't support Yuan Chun, Jia's mother also knelt down and cried, "What's wrong with your mother? Don't you let the old woman shorten my life?"

After saying such heart-breaking words, Yuan Chun couldn't kneel anymore, so he got up and helped Jia Mu get up again.

Looking at Yuan Chun's appearance, how could he be so aggressive and forceful to impose marriage just now? Jia Mu sighed and said helplessly: "I am old, how long can I protect you for a few days? But I am old. When I get old, I always want to have more people to talk to, but now that Tanchun is hired out like this, I really can't bear it!"

Yuan Chun knew that what Jia Mu said might not be the truth, but he only followed Jia Mu's way: "Now that the girls are old, if they don't hire someone, they will become old girls at home. I shouldn't have said that. My wife should also know that Baochai of my aunt's family is seventeen this year. She should have married long ago, but now she doesn't even have a family to see her. Is it a continuation? Do our girls also want to learn from her?"

Mrs. Wang Nuonuo said: "I told your aunt about it..."

"Madam, please speak carefully," Yuan Chun interrupted Mrs. Wang, "Baoyu's marriage is up to me and the old lady. Does the lady want to marry my Baoyu with a merchant woman? It's a joke. Even if you don't look for a concubine of the Hou family, you should be from a scholarly family, so it will be helpful for Baoyu in his official career in the future."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was still dissatisfied in her heart, Yuan Chun sighed, and had to persuade her, "My wife also knows how difficult it is for me to survive in the palace to this day. Is it my wish to separate my flesh and blood? It's finally here." Today, my wife is not thinking about finding a powerful Yue family for Baoyu. In the future, it will be my help in the court. Is there anything I can do by myself? In the future, your grandson will be born , How can I protect him by myself?"

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard the words. She was not such a stupid person. At first, she just felt sorry for her sister and was not very sensitive to court affairs. Married Baochai as his wife.Now with Yuan Chun's call, Mrs. Wang immediately regained her strength, regretting her previous momentary fever.

Thinking of Baochai's every kind of flattery in the past, I immediately felt that Baochai was that kind of shameless person, and most of her love for her had gone away.

If it was said that someone persuaded Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang might not be willing to listen to it, but would turn around and scold that person.It's just that this word came from the mouth of her own girl, and Mrs. Wang believed it out of a thousand and ten thousand.

Mother Jia watched Yuan Chun's tongue-in-cheek persuasion to Mrs. Wang coldly, but she was too lazy to deal with it, so she just acted confused.I can live a few more years, happy one year is just one year, family matters, with this pair of children, mother and daughter, I don't have to worry about it in the future.

Yuanchun got Mrs. Wang's assurance that she would no longer meddle in Baoyu's marriage at will, and just now she felt relieved, and turned to discuss with Mrs. Wang the account that was lost due to the construction of the Grand View Garden.Because I borrowed a large amount of money from Xue's family, it is really not good to let it go like this. After all, there is Tanchun and Xue Pan's marriage, and it must be delayed for a while.

The mother and daughter are not at all ashamed of selling their daughters for money and selling their sisters for money. Seeing that Jia's mother is really cold-hearted, although she loves Baoyu in her heart, she can't bear to have her only granddaughter marry in and be used by the mother and daughter. , After all, I still have a heart of kindness, and this kindness will have its own rewards in the future.
