The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

There was news from Xie Jinxuan soon, so Lin Jue packed up and went to Jia's mansion.

Now Jia Zheng had a feeling that he didn't want to see Lin Jue. It was because other people's children were too smart, but his own son seemed as stupid as a pig.

Lin Jue didn't care at all about Jia Zheng's claim of sickness and avoiding seeing him. He didn't come to see him in the first place. It happened that the old man was out, so Lin Jue went directly to Jia's mother without even paying a visit.

Jia's mother had other thoughts, so she treated Lin Jue with some concern. She asked Lin Jue many things, and she cared enough before asking about her visit.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "It turns out that there is a very happy event to tell the old lady."

When Jia Mu heard the words, she hurriedly said, "What happy event?"

Lin Jue glanced at Daiyu who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "So that the old lady can know that my father had arranged a marriage for Daiyu before his death, and now that Daiyu is a filial piety, it is a good time to discuss marriage."

Mother Jia's face sank when she heard this, "I didn't know about this?"

Lin Jue smiled when she heard the words, "After all, Daiyu was young at the time, even if she was engaged, she couldn't talk about it with a big fanfare. It would make us seem so arrogant, and my husband's family didn't like it."

Jia's mother still couldn't believe it. Lin Ruhai had been in Yangzhou for many years, and there was no headed mistress to take care of him in the inner house. Who could he know, and how could he suddenly betroth Daiyu?And considering Lin Ruhai's character, if he got married, he would definitely explain to her, how could he be so silent.

Then he asked calmly: "I don't know which family in Yangzhou is the young master?" Lin Ruhai has not returned to Beijing for many years, so it is definitely not the family in Beijing.If so, there is still room for change in this matter.

As soon as Lin Jue heard Jiamu's words, she knew what she was up to. He glanced at Daiyu who was restless, and said, "The old lady also knows this person. He is the third son of the Wang family in Xining County, Xie Jinxuan."

Daiyu's eyes lit up immediately, and she immediately understood Lin Jue's meaning. At this time, it was hard to say that she had been in contact with Xie Jinxuan for a long time. Although she used the name of her deceased father, which was a bit disrespectful, it is now the most suitable reason.

When Lin Jue announced her name, even Jia's mother would have to admit that this was really a perfect marriage.Although her Jia's family is a prince's family, it is not a star and a half worse than the county prince's mansion.Even Baoyu is only the son of the second wife, and the inheritance of the title is originally from the big house, but Xie Jinxuan is different. Although he is the third son, he is a serious son of the prince of the county. Brother Shizi, the future is boundless.

I wanted to be picky at first, but now I can't say it.

Lin Jue went on to say, "I'm here today, first to inform the old lady, and second, to ask for the mercy of the old lady."

Lin Jue blushed and said shyly: "I know that the old lady has always loved Daiyu the most. Now that the matchmaker from Xie's family is here to discuss marriage, it is not good to have no elders to support me. I am young and a man, so I have to ask the old lady to help her." It would be better for the wife to show up, so that no one will underestimate us."

Although Jia's mother was disappointed that Daiyu would not marry, after all, Daiyu was her own grandson, so she married well, which is something to be happy about.So he put away his heart and devoted himself to helping Daiyu plan. "You are right. This is a great thing. I will be there that day. Even your first wife and second wife, I will also ask them to go. It is also good to add popularity."

Lin Jue hurriedly got up and bowed, "Thank you, old lady."

Mother Jia smiled kindly, "Daiyu is my direct granddaughter, as it should be. Have you set a date yet?"

Lin Jue said: "Because it will take another month to repair the garden at home, I decided to pick up the old lady in person one month later."

Jia's mother said: "It's very unnecessary. The man's family will also come that day, and the mansion cannot leave you. I will ask your second cousin Lian to send us there. And when your cousin Lian goes, he can help you to support him. "

Lin Jue quickly thanked Jia Mu again.The two talked about some marriage matters again, and Daiyu sat beside her, her cheeks already turned into a sunset glow from embarrassment.

Because of Jia Amnesty's absence and Jia Zheng pleading sick, Lin Jue did not eat at Jia's house. After discussing with Jia's mother, she said a few words with Daiyu in private, and then left.

After all, Lin Jue is a foreigner, so Mother Jia didn't hesitate to keep him.

The Jia family never had any secrets at all, and within half a day after Lin Jue left, the news spread throughout the family.

Mother Jia glanced at Yuanyang, who moved slightly uncomfortably.Jia Mufang said to Mrs. Wang, "You are well informed."

Mrs. Wang froze, and wiped the tears from her face, "This was originally the intention of the Xiande Concubine, but now Daiyu has agreed to another family, what should I do?"

Mother Jia snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, Your Majesty? Did your Majesty order you to propose a marriage? It was just our wishful thinking. The Lin family and the Xining Palace had a long-standing engagement. You If this word spreads, who can spare you?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Should we just let this matter go?"

She didn't realize it, but Yuan Chun kept saying that marrying the Lin family would be of great benefit to Baoyu's future future, but now that she heard that Daiyu had married into the Xining Palace, she immediately became anxious.

Jia Mu sighed, "So what if you don't give up, this matter is a nail in the coffin, unless the Xie family or the Lin family regret the marriage, there is no room for this matter." The marriage was decided by Lin Ruhai when he was alive, and now Lin Ruhai After passing away, Xie's family still abided by the marriage contract, which shows that the marriage is really sincere, how could it be easy to regret the marriage.It is even more impossible for the Lin family to repent temporarily. Seeing the reactions of Lin Jue and Daiyu, they are both very willing.

Although Jia Mu felt it was a pity, she had already given up the marriage in her heart.Besides, Daiyu is good, Lin Jue will have a bright future, and her Baoyu is not bad either.Daiyu has already made up her family, so don't they, the Jia family, insist on rushing to ask for a marriage? It's not a joke.

Glancing at Mrs. Wang who was still unconvinced, Jia's mother said, "Put that face away, too. You don't like Daiyu, otherwise why would you come to this?"

Mrs. Wang muttered a few words in a low voice, Jiamu's face turned cold, and she said sharply: "Shut your mouth, Daiyu has lived in our house for three years, but she still drinks yours after eating yours, Lin Ruhai But for those who took 1 taels of snowflake silver as throwing fee, it is enough to raise ten Daiyu. The silver has not been put into the public account, but where did it go, can I tell you?"

Mrs. Wang trembled like chaff when she heard the words, she quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to say another word.

Jia Mu looked at her so helpless with cold eyes, thinking about Yuanchun Baoyu, but didn't say anything deeply.It's 1 taels of silver, and she still doesn't care about it, but Mrs. Wang is doing things at both ends, since she is greedy for other people's money, why bother to spread those gossips? How can I watch my sister suffer such grievances.

This time Daiyu sent 500 taels of silver, saying it was a filial piety to herself, but when she thought about it deeply, it was not difficult to see her true meaning.

Moreover, after Daiyu returned from Yangzhou, although she still treated herself with the same filial piety, she was also very close to her sisters, but no matter whether it was Madam Wang or Sister Baoyufeng, they were separated by a layer. Could it be that Daiyu is a fool , being treated harshly, but also to be grateful to others?

In recent years, Jia's mother has said that she is not a director, but in fact the housekeeping power has always been in her hands.It's just that she turned a blind eye to many things, even her servants who were important to her were isolated from the center of power, and she didn't make a sound, just trying to keep her eyes quiet.

In the past, she didn't care about it, but it didn't mean she didn't know anything. On the contrary, no matter big or small in the house, she could escape her eyes.In the past, they did not stop the rumors, not because it was impossible, but because they wanted to use this method to cut off Daiyu's retreat.

When Jia Min was newly mourned and Daiyu was entrusted to the Jia family, how could Lin Ruhai not feel resentful.Even though he is still the father, his wife entrusts her daughter to the Yue family on the grounds that she fears that there will be no upbringing in the inner house. This is Lin Ruhai's embarrassment.

However, Lin Ruhai still thought that Daiyu was his own flesh and blood, and even if he went to his grandparents' house, he didn't want to be known as someone else, so he sent a fee of 1 taels along with the boat, which was originally said to be Daiyu. It's at Jia's expense.It's just that Daiyu is still young, and this matter has not passed through her, so she doesn't know about it.Mrs. Wang also took advantage of this loophole and collected the money into her own pocket, so Daiyu heard the gossip and rumors in Jia's house for three years, so she felt a little bit of resentment towards Lin Ruhai.

Jia's mother knew Daiyu's temperament, so she didn't pay much attention to the 1 taels of silver, so Mrs. Wang took it as soon as she took it.Later, it was discovered that there were some rumors in the mansion. After thinking about it for a while, Jia's mother figured out the key points.It's just that Daiyu is withdrawn, and she only treats herself quite differently from Baoyu.Jia Mu looked on coldly, knowing that Daiyu regarded Baoyu as the straw to save her life. Jia Mu was so happy that she let the rumors spread more and more fiercely.

She also knew that Daiyu washed her face with tears because of the rumors, but in Jia Mu's view, it was just a few rumors, and it was not a big deal. up.

It's just that Jia's mother has calculated everything, but she can't calculate people's hearts.She really didn't expect that Lin Jue, the concubine Fu Zheng's son, would treat Daiyu with a bit of sincerity, and Daiyu was also very protective of Lin Jue.The two brothers and sisters are like iron barrels now, and it is impossible for anyone to provoke them.

Mother Jia sighed secretly, in the end it was her own wrong step. When there were rumors that day, if she could cut it off directly, if Jia's family treated Daiyu with five points of sincerity, if... Anything can be done.

only now...

Mother Jia sighed again. Yuan Chun could see the benefits of marrying the Lin family. Could it be that everyone else is blind?Lin Jue got the blue eyes of the sage, hand-picked Tanhua, and entered the Imperial Academy. Although it is not obvious now, his future prospects are limitless.Daiyu is also the county monarch proclaimed by the Holy Majesty. In the future, her husband will do nothing, but Daiyu's position as county monarch is a certainty.

The benefits of marrying the Lin family are obvious, but the Jia family missed this opportunity.
