The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

I don't know what Wang Ziteng said to Jia She and Jia Lian in the study. When the two came out, one looked sad and the other was full of pain.

Wang Ziteng clasped his fists at Jia She: "Brother Shi is open-minded, today's matter is over, although you and I cannot become relatives, Shixiong has orders, I, Wang Ziteng, dare not obey."

Jia She said: "Although I have always been confused, Lian'er is not a promising person, but since Sister Feng married into our family, I have always treated her as my own daughter. Hey, good fortune makes people, good fortune makes people!" "

It's a shame to say this, let's not say that the person Wang Xifeng has always been close to is Mrs. Wang, that is, Jia She, who spends her days drinking and drinking, with a bunch of wives in the house, she doesn't look like a father-in-law.Wang Ziteng didn't say much, and said to Jia Lian: "Look at the old lady's mind, and mention it to her slowly. When Brother Feng was at your house, he was always by the old lady's side. Don't make the old man worry."

Jia Lian nodded in agreement with red eyes, and said, "My son-in-law wants to see Sister Feng..."

Wang Ziteng sighed and said, "Why meet each other, it just adds to the sadness."

Jia Lian has always been somewhat afraid of his father-in-law, but now at such a juncture, he dare not disobey him, so he can only say: "I am a young couple with Sister Feng, although I have been somewhat unbearable to her these few years, we can wait to see her." Her heart has not changed, and she hopes to learn from her father-in-law."

In Jia's family, Jia Lian still understands.Although her daughter offended the Lin family, Jia Lian and Lin Jue have always been on good terms, so Wang Ziteng mentioned something to Jia Lian: "Lin Jue won the Sacred Heart at a young age. Since you are on good terms with him, why don't you see him often?" call?"

Wang Ziteng mentioned Lin Jue out of the blue, and Jia Lian was not an idiot, so he naturally heard the implication, but he didn't say much, just said: "I will tell the old lady later, and then I will bring Li Shu with me."

At this time, Wang Ziteng felt that Jia Lian was really a smart person. In the past, he was busy with official duties, and Jia Lian was not a self-motivated person. He often avoided him. He had little contact with this son-in-law.I knew that Jia Lian was so smart. Back then... that's all. We can't go back to the past, it just depends on Jia Lian's ability.

After all, Jia Lian didn't see Wang Xifeng, and the reconciliation between the two caused a lot of trouble. Even today, it is inevitable to ask more questions.

Wang Ziteng only smiled wryly, "Speaking of which, the fault lies with me. At my age, I only have this one daughter, so I doted on her a little bit lawlessly. When she was at home, I had my ministers and my wife who loved her and spoiled her. After arriving at her husband's house, her aunt was also the aunt of the direct relative, and spoiled her even more. When I heard from my son-in-law that she had embezzled the monthly money of the servants in the mansion and released loan sharks outside the house, I felt very sad. I don't feel good. Now that I have come to this point, I really have no way to teach."

As Wang Ziteng said, he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I have only one woman in my life, so I have to be bold and ask His Majesty for grace."

Emperor Hongzheng said, "Say it."

There was a blush on Wang Ziteng's fair face with a beautiful beard, "My daughter's private lending of loan sharks is against the law of the country. I am ashamed. Now that I have made up for the suffering master's money, please forgive me for my daughter's wrongdoing." guilt."

Whether the matter of loan sharking is big or small, it depends on what you want.Now that Wang Ziteng revealed this matter himself, firstly, he could show his loyalty to the emperor, and the Wang family had nothing to hide from the emperor; secondly, he used this to avoid the emperor's suspicion, and to find a reasonable reason for the Wang family, the Jia family and Li.

The corner of Emperor Hongzheng's mouth curled up into a slight smile, he was not mistaken, this Prince Teng was indeed a very smart person.Wang Ziteng is indeed talented, otherwise he would not be promoted again and again. This time Wang Ziteng can cut off his wrists like a strong man, and promptly disassociate himself from the Jia family. It can be saved.

"It's inevitable that a little girl will get confused, now that she's reconciled, it's better to learn the rules at home."

When Emperor Hongzheng said this, he meant not to pursue it. The prince quickly kowtowed his head to show his loyalty, "Thank you for your kindness, I am determined to teach my daughter who is not up to date."

Emperor Hongzheng talked to him about the affairs of the court again, and Wang Xifeng quietly let go of the usury. Wang Ziteng could not help but be secretly happy whenever he thought of his decision at this time.Naturally, this is a later story.

Now it is his daughter Wang Xifeng who worries Wang Ziteng.

It was indeed Wang Ziteng who found out about Wang Xifeng's usury through Jia Lian, and he did not expect Wang Xifeng to be so bold.There are many ways for rich families to make money, but loan sharking is the most destructive of morality, and it is even banned by the imperial court.Now that he has passed Ming Road with Emperor Hongzheng, Wang Ziteng can finally feel relieved.

The two families of Jia and Wang are family friends, and the four big families have always been in the same spirit. Although the reconciliation and separation has damaged the harmony between the two families, after all, the Jia family still has many things to rely on Wang Ziteng, so they dare not really turn their faces.It's just that Sister Qiao is from the Jia family, and the Jia family will not give Sister Qiao to the Wang family no matter what.Besides, as long as Sister Qiao stays in the Jia family for one day, it is impossible for the Wang family to really let the Jia family go.

Wang Ziteng's heart is very clear, Mrs. Jia's treatment of Qiao's daughter is just a bit of love, what she really can't let go of is the support that the Wang family brought to the Jia family.But there is no way, the Jia family won't let her go, and Wang Ziteng can't force the Jia family to hand over sister Qiao to the Wang family. If there is a real disturbance, it will be of no benefit to the two families.

Wang Ziteng said to his wife: "My wife went to persuade Brother Feng. After all, Sister Qiao is from the blood of the Jia family. Lian'er will not treat her badly. Tell her not to think too much."

Mrs. Wang said: "Now that Brother Feng and Li are at home, it doesn't look like it. My own daughter is the only one who loves me more. It's not that I dislike her, but the master also wants to think about Brother Feng. How old is she now? Could it be that the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha should fail for a lifetime?"

Mrs. Wang always felt a headache when she saw her daughter kneeling in front of the Buddha and chanting scriptures.

"I'll talk about this later. After all, Brother Feng has just reconciled. We are in such a hurry to find a home for her. The Jia's house doesn't look good. It's the child himself. Don't you feel at ease? Don't worry, just comfort her more, I have my own plan."

Hearing what Wang Ziteng said, Mrs. Wang felt better, and asked sister Qiao again.

Both of them knew that it was impossible for Jia's family to abandon sister Qiao, but after asking too much, Wang Ziteng said: "Let's wait for a while, when the freshness wears off, I will find a chance and say we want to talk about it." Sister Qiao is gone, ask Lian'er to bring Sister Qiao here, it would be good for their mother and daughter to meet again."

Mrs. Wang heard this, so she went to talk to Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng felt more at ease.

Following the confiscation of the Ningguo Mansion and the reconciliation of the Jia and Wang families, Beijing was at a standstill for a while.When Daiyu returned to Ning, she mentioned to Lin Jue about Jia Mu's birthday, Lin Juefang suddenly said: "I still follow the rules of previous years here, but you can go and have a look at Ningguo Mansion. Now there is something like this in Ningguo Mansion." It's a matter, others can stay away from the old lady, but we can't, we are relatives anyway, don't look at others, you just look at your mother."

Daiyu was hurt badly by the Jia family during the day, and later she didn't pay much attention to the Jia family, especially when Xue Baochai became Baoyu's concubine. , it can be seen that Jia's family style.

Speaking of which, Xue Baochai really has means. First, he was suppressed by Jia Zhang like that, but now he has Baoyu in his hands again, making the wives and concubines in Baoyu's courtyard itch with hatred.

Daiyu can only think about it for a while, and her brother is not very interested in such things about the inner house.

Xie Jinxuan and Li Yibai played chess under the shade of a tree, Lin Yi played with Xie Yuting, who was able to run, jump and walk by himself, and the Lin brothers and sisters sat in the gazebo beside them.There were no outsiders around, Li Yibai was directly regarded by Daiyu as Lin Jue's inner room, and he didn't pay much attention to the defense of men and women.

After talking a few words about Jia's family, Daiyu talked about something else, "Yi'er should be at the age of entering school now. Although the family can invite famous teachers, after all, it is not as good as the family. I'm going to come to my elder brother in five days, I think I want to recognize my elder brother sincerely. The Ren family's scholarly reputation has been handed down to the world, why doesn't my elder brother send Yi'er to the Ren family's family to study?"

Lin Jue pondered for a moment, "The Ren family's family history is indeed quite profound, but it's just that they are in other provinces. I don't want Yi'er to be alone at a young age."

Li Yibai interrupted and said: "I have my own arrangements for Yi'er, and I will ask Mr. to continue teaching at home first."

Lin Jue hadn't heard him mention it before, so he couldn't help being curious at this time, but since Li Yibai didn't say it clearly, he didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at Li Yibai with raised eyebrows.

Daiyu is now married, and she just mentioned Lin Yi to let her elder brother take care of her. After all, men are no more careful than women, and many things may not be conceivable.

Speaking of Mr. Ren, Lin Jue couldn't help asking: "Has the old man been here today?"

Li Yibai's black spot dropped, "It will be the old man's birthday in a few days, and Ren Xu has already sent a post to the mansion, inviting you to come."

Lin Jue nodded, he is now the hands-off shopkeeper, with Li Yibai as a "virtuous housekeeper", it really saves worry and effort.

After Li Yibai finished speaking, "Good housemate", he turned his head and concentrated on playing chess.Lin Jue chatted with Daiyu a few times, and at a moment's itch, he drove Li Yibai away halfway, and started a game with Xie Jinxuan.

Xie Jinxuan was aware of this uncle's temper, so he just laughed it off.

After talking with each other, at lunch time, they each took their "skin monkeys" covered with grass clippings and mud to wash and eat.

It wasn't until the evening rest that Lin Jue asked about the day's affairs. Li Yibai said: "Although our family's Yier is a few years older than the eldest son of the prince's brother's family, the child will go to school next year to choose a companion. He and elder brother mean that they are interested in our family, Yi'er."

Lin Jue frowned and said: "Although the crown prince has been established as the heir apparent, your majesty is a mature man. It is better to listen to your majesty's opinion on the prince's affairs."

Li Yibai smiled and pulled him into his arms, "Don't worry, this matter was initiated by the emperor first, otherwise the crown prince would definitely nod his head."

Although Lin Jue was unwilling to participate in the fight for the reserve, his "virtuous housemate" had already joined in it. As the "head of the family", he could only hope that the crown prince would succeed in enthroning. Taiping is also good.

Li Yibai listened to Lin Jue's theory about "virtuous internal help", and did not argue with him at all. It doesn't matter whether he is good or not, it doesn't matter if he is a good person or not, and let him take advantage of it verbally, so what?You can only see the truth in bed.

Put out the wax, close the tent, and sleep with the owner.
