The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Baochai has been sick since the day when Concubine Yuan came to see her relatives. She has not eaten a drop of rice for three whole days, and looks haggard all over.Aunt Xue shed tears every day, but in the end she still begged Mrs. Wang to take the post and invite someone from the imperial physician to come.

Mrs. Wang also came to take a look at Baochai every day, and she would hold Aunt Xue's hand and say, "I always love Baoyu, who is smart, sensible and general, and I have already planned to go further. Yes, it’s not beautiful after all, if you expect Baoyu to get a good reputation in the past two years, when Baochai comes in, she will be Mrs. Gaoming, who would have thought that it would turn out like this?”

"Her aunt, don't blame Xiande Concubine, I was the one who talked too much. I kept thinking that Pan'er was not yet married, so I deliberately asked the empress to be a matchmaker. It is decent to say it. But I don't think that the empress will be wrong and do something bad with good intentions. Now that the golden mouth and jade teeth have been settled, what else can we do?"

"It's not easy for your empress to be in the palace. I thought it would be more helpful for Baochai to enter the palace, but I can't bear Baochai and want to keep her by my side. But I don't want to play tricks on others. Now we sisters will do it in person." Dear, but it’s like this dear.”

"Although Tanchun is not my own child, I treat her no differently from my mother Baoyu, even the daughter of the official family. It is not easy for Pan'er to come. Although Tanchun is more powerful, he can manage her. Living in Pan'er is probably Pan'er's good fortune."

"After all, Bao girl is old. As an aunt, I will find a good family for her even if I put on my old face. Don't worry, sister."

Mrs. Wang said all the good and the bad. Aunt Xue was already clumsy and tongue-tied. When she was a young lady at home, she tolerated everything. How to answer.It's just that Mrs. Wang's words became more and more unpleasant, and finally couldn't help but reply a few words, and Mrs. Wang immediately took Aunt Xue's hand and started to cry.While weeping for Yuan Chun, who was not seen in the palace, she also cried for Baochai, who was now lying on the bed without knowing his life or death.

Aunt Xue was very sad, she only had one son and one daughter, Xue Pan was always a troublemaker, although he was filial to his mother and cared for his younger sister, but he was not as caring as his daughter.Aunt Xue is a cowardly person, and Xue Baochai is in charge of all affairs in the family.Aunt Xue also knew that Xue Pan was not easy, she got used to listening to Baochai.

Now Baochai is lying on the bed like this, not eating or drinking, not knowing whether he is alive or dead. stand up.The servants waiting outside were startled and looked around quietly, thinking that Baochai really had something good or bad.

Aunt Xue cried bitterly, but Baochai's ambition was aroused. In the evening, Baochai, who had been sleeping all the time, struggled to wake up.

Aunt Xue wept with joy, and embraced Baochai, not daring to let her fall asleep again.Xue Pan had also returned home at this time, he didn't think too much about it, he just thought that his sister was angry with someone who didn't have long eyes, and she had already yelled to vent her anger on her sister, but Aunt Xue kept silent, so he was anxious. It's useless to scratch your head.

Seeing that Baochai woke up now, Xue Pan was also very happy, and shouted: "That man still calls himself an imperial doctor. If my sister doesn't wake up again, I will smash his signboard. Now that my sister is awake, tomorrow I will go to the hospital." Wrapped two bird's nests, thank him personally."

Aunt Xue ignored Xue Pan and just asked Baochai, "My son, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Baochai smiled weakly, she used to be round and beautiful, but now she has been ill for a few days, her cheeks and body have lost a lot of weight, and she looks a little weak, which is a bit like Daiyu's description. "Mum, don't worry, my son is already well."

Aunt Xue saw that although Baochai was a bit haggard, she was back in good spirits, she was relieved, and ordered the kitchen to bring soft porridge to Baochai, and fed it to Baochai bit by bit.

Baochai didn't refuse either, she was really tired, even if she hadn't had water or rice for a few days, she was very tired.With Aunt Xue's hand, she drank half a bowl of porridge and fell asleep again.

Aunt Xue was really worried, so she asked Xue Pan to invite the imperial physician. After the examination, the imperial physician said that there was no serious problem. Aunt Xue recited "Amitabha" twice, wrapped a red seal, and thanked the imperial physician.

It was already half a month after Baochai fully regained her spirits, and Mrs. Wang had already started to exchange invitations with Xue's family.Xue Baochai smiled mockingly. After all, this is the case. Left and right Tanchun will not go out before Baoyu. As soon as Xue Baochai was able to go to the ground, she helped Aunt Xue get up.

Although the Xue family was not satisfied with this marriage, it was also decided by the imperial concubine and empress, and it cannot be changed.First, I changed the Geng post, and found a Taoist to test the horoscope. Because Baoyu was not married yet, it was not good for Tanchun to go out before Baoyu, so the day of marriage was postponed.

The Xue family had no objection. Although Mrs. Wang was anxious to make the matter clear, she couldn't help thinking of her son, so she agreed.For a while, Tanchun became the first one among the sisters in several houses to get engaged.

Daiyu also left Jia's mansion the day after the family-sentence banquet.Jia's mother didn't stay long. After all, she is old and mature, and she can see many things clearly, so she doesn't care about it.Now Daiyu is obviously far away from Baoyu. Since Mrs. Wang doesn't like Daiyu, why bother to match Baodai?Her old man is just living one more day, and her grandchildren's marriage should not have been decided by her in the first place.

Mrs. Jia figured it out, so she ignored it even more. Even when Mrs. Wang discussed with the Xue family about exchanging Geng Tie, she just asked Yuanyang to give Tanchun two gold hairpins and a pair of jade bracelets.Tanchun picked up the things, only bowed to Jiamu's courtyard, and never stepped out of the door.When Jia Mu heard about it, she just shook her head.

Daiyu doesn't know Xue Pan well, but she has always been at odds with Baochai, so she doesn't have a good impression of Xue Pan.And looking at Tanchun's appearance, she didn't see much joy, Daiyu didn't want to show off in front of the concubine Xiande, and marriages were always ordered by her parents and the matchmaker's words, she was a guest, it was even more difficult to intervene in Tanchun's marriage.

After leaving Jia's mansion, I heard that Xue Jia's family had changed Geng Tie after a few days, and Daiyu just sent someone a gift of congratulations and Tanchun.You can't control it, and you can't control it. Everyone has their own fate, and you can't force it.

Daiyu was depressed for a while, Lin Jue didn't say much when she saw this, and only gave Daiyu a box of scented tea, which is good for beauty.As soon as Daiyu saw it, she knew who the tea came from. After thinking twice, she finally accepted it.Lin Jue smiled, seeing Daiyu relax, he also became a little bit happier.

After two days of silence, Lin Jue received a message from Xue Pan.It's not the first time Xue Pan posted a message to Lin Jue, but Lin Jue always didn't like to talk to him, and because of his reputation of keeping filial piety, Xue Pan declined several times, and Xue Pan calmed down.Now that he received Xue Pan's post again, and it was stated that he was visiting, Lin Jue thought about it and agreed.

Qingsong said from the side: "Why should you bother with him, sir, he is just a fool, let him hang around for a few days, and then he will stop."

Lin Jue smiled, "Let's see it later."

Qingsong fell silent.

Xue Panyuan did not come alone, he also dragged a rather heroic young man.

Lin Jue gave up his seat to the two with a smile, Xue Pan immediately took a step forward, took the seat next to Lin Jue and sat down, ignoring etiquette, pulling Lin Jue's sleeve to express love.

Lin Jue just smiled and said nothing, Xue Pan became more and more anxious, so he almost opened his heart to Lin Jue, and said to himself: "Brother Jue, just trust me, trust me..."

Lin Jue pulled out his sleeves and smiled without saying a word, looking up and down at the young man sitting in the chair.

The young man paused holding the teacup, then drank the tea in a leisurely manner, put the cup and saucer away, then cupped his hands and said to Lin Jue: "Xia Liu Xianglian is also from the capital, and her family has fallen, so don't mention it. Today," pointing to Xue Pan, "I'm going to accompany my brother to go through the house, please forgive me for the disturbance."

Lin Jue smiled and said, "It turned out to be 'Leng Erlang'. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Such a nickname, it's worth not mentioning it." Liu Xianglian is beautiful, and she was originally a character in Xue Pan's eyes. Xue Pan was drunk and molested him once, but he was tricked into cleaning him up. Later, by chance, he rescued her again. Xue Pan was once, and since then Xue Pan believed that the two were a fateful friendship, and because Xue Pan fell in love with Lin Jue, he had no wrong thoughts about Liu Xianglian, Liu Xianglian saw that he was really a big fool, so she forgave him for his previous mistakes.It's just that Xue Pan likes to take him with him wherever he goes. Maybe it's because he saved Xue Pan's life. Xue Pan trusts him very much and loves to tell him everything. He has heard of Lin Jue's name a lot. of.

Now secretly looking at Lin Jue, Lin Jue looks good, but if you say how outstanding he is, he is actually not as good as Baoyu, even if you think about it, he is slightly better than him.It's just that Lin Jue's eyebrows fluttered, but with a slight twitch, which is really a bit seductive.

Looking at Lin Jue, Liu Xianglian roughly understood Xue Pan's thoughts.

Xue Pan was the most aggressive person, seeing that Lin Jue ignored him and only talked to Liu Xianglian, he quietly squeezed Lin Jue's wrist.Just pinching it, I was still feeling Lin Jue's slender wrist, but I didn't know what pricked my arm, and I shivered with pain, and immediately withdrew the hand holding Lin Jue.

Lin Jue secretly glanced at the position of the beam, covered the scratches on the table without any trace, and said to Liu Xianglian: "I have always heard the name of the hero Leng Erlang, but I don't have the chance to see it every day. I see you today. It feels like old friends at first sight, Rijue will definitely invite Mr. Liu over to the mansion again, please do me a favor."

Liu Xianglian also noticed the movement just now, and immediately said after hearing the words: "Don't dare to say it's a compliment, in the future, Uncle Lin will invite me to drink in a post, I will definitely come."

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Mr. Liu is so old, I think he is not married yet. If someone proposes marriage to Mr. Liu, please give Mr. Liu a lot of attention, don't let others deceive you."

Liu Xianglian was taken aback by Lin Jue's nonsensical words, and when she was about to ask, Lin Jue had already served tea to see off the guests.Liu Xianglian had no choice but to pull Xue Pan, who was unconscious, together, and got up to leave.

After the two left, Lin Juefang took a sip of tea, looked in the direction of the beam, and said coldly, "Come out."

After waiting for a moment, a person jumped down from the beam of the house. He was short in stature and dressed in black, hiding in the dark was really inconspicuous.

"Are you from the Twelve Princes?" Although Lin Jue was asking, she was very sure.

The man thought about it and agreed.

Lin Jue smiled, "Okay, it's not difficult for you, then go to the roof and squat, what should you do?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then dodged, and then hid on the beam again.

Lin Jue thought for a moment, pursed her lips and chuckled, and shook her head helplessly.
