The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Mother Jia's birthday was always held with great ostentation, as if to show that the Jia family was not implicated in the robbery of the Ningguo Mansion, this time it was held in a particularly grand manner.

Daiyu specially chose to come on the day of Jia She's family banquet, and she came very early, so no one could fault her at all.Mother Jia didn't expect Daiyu to come, she was overjoyed and praised Xie Yuting again and again.Xie Yuting knew etiquette very well at a young age, and the little man knelt on the ground with a serious look, "Yu Ting congratulated the old ancestor on his birthday, wishing the old ancestor a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity like Nanshan every year." Today, every year has its present.”

Seeing his clever and well-behaved appearance, Jia's mother fell in love with him more and more, and asked Yuanyang to help the little boy up and hug her to her side, and once again called him "heartfeltly".He also asked Yuanyang to bring fruit cakes to the children, which made the children flush with embarrassment.Obediently picked it up, and thanked her in a low voice, which made Jia's mother even more happy.

Daiyu said with a smile: "Don't spoil him, old lady. I was still suffering from toothache. The doctor said that I ate too much sugar. I dare not ask him to eat any more these days! The old lady gave it to him now, go back I have a toothache, so I have to say to me, 'Blessed by the elders, you should not resign'!"

Jia's mother was quite unhappy with Daiyu's first few words, and when she heard the latter, she laughed again and said, "This child is so clever, he must have followed your mother."

Although Jia's mother passed away many years ago, when she mentions it now, the grandparents and grandchildren will inevitably feel sad. If Sister Feng is here at this time, it is necessary to make a few jokes and just get over it.But among the people in the house now, Mrs. Wang never waits to see Daiyu, Mrs. Xing is just a piece of wood, Jiazhang, Li Wan, and Yingchun are not so clever. I want to be clever, but I dare not go beyond Jia Zhang's.

The atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant for a while, Xie Yuting looked at this and that, and sighed pretendingly, "Mother, don't be sad, if father finds out, he will think that the child has made you angry again, and he will definitely give him a few words Yes. The mother should treat her as a child!"

The little adult sighed pretendingly, directly sighed Daiyu into a blushing face, and said angrily: "This child..." He didn't know what to say.

It was Jia's mother who laughed and said, "No, don't open up my good great-grandson's little ass, it's not that I can't get out of bed, it's a joke!" Well, Mother Jia didn't know what it was like in her heart.

After hearing this, Xie Yuting suddenly felt that he had found a bosom friend, and he chanted and sighed three times: "Old ancestor, I really want to die wronged!" Everyone laughed.

When the servants reported that a guest had arrived, everyone stopped talking and laughing and went to welcome the guest.

When Jia's family entertained guests, female guests and male guests were treated separately. For example, Xie Jinxuan, who was originally a foreigner, would not enter the inner courtyard, but was welcomed to the outer courtyard by Jia Lian Baoyu.They are all relatives. Xie Jinxuan's identity is not obvious, but he is a genius doctor and a disciple, and he has the background of the third son of Xining Prince. How can Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng neglect him?

After meeting and exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xie Jinxuan said with a wink because Jia's family kept having guests, "My son-in-law is not an outsider, and uncle is not an outsider here. The two uncles have complicated things. If I neglect the guests, why not It's not mine anymore."

Hearing this, Jia She said with a smile: "Your son-in-law is right. We are all a family, so there is no need to talk heresy. There are many people and things are complicated today, and it is not a good time to talk, so I asked Lian'er to accompany you to talk. The son-in-law also said yes We are a family, and if you have anything to do, just ask Lian'er to do it, as he is an elder brother, it should be like this." He also told Jia Lian, "Your brother-in-law doesn't come to our house often, so take care of him."

Jia Amnesty also ordered Baoyu, and the three of them quit.

Because of Lin Jue, Jia Lian was very fond of seeing the Lin family, and was very warm to Xie Jinxuan.On the contrary, Jia Baoyu was also very enthusiastic. However, his enthusiasm is really open to question.

Facing this brother-in-law's cousin who kept asking him about his wife and constantly lamenting about his sister Lin, he didn't throw a punch at him.Sure enough, I understood what my brother-in-law meant by "brain-damaged", and I really have a very vivid image!

Jia Lian was also embarrassed at the side, repeatedly diverting Jia Baoyu's words, but he couldn't help that Jia Baoyu was completely immersed in his own world, only caring about his own sorrow, and he didn't even know the word "honesty and shame".

For Baoyu, Jia Lian was also really convinced.He, Jia Lian, is also lustful, but he is so good that he is open and aboveboard, and he disdains that while talking about being deeply in love with someone, he keeps teasing people in his room.Look at Yingying and Yanyan in Jia Baoyu's room, it's really a joke to mention how affectionate she is for Daiyu now.

Ask Jia Lian to say, if Baoyu is really interested in Daiyu, why did he go earlier.Daiyu lived in Jia's family for three years, and the friendship between the two has long been there. If Baoyu is really affectionate, no one else is needed. Daiyu, is this the end now?

The way it is now is just "there is still an archway to be erected at that time".

Fortunately, Mr. Xie Jinxuan had a lot of people, so he didn't really care about Baoyu, but maybe he didn't want to ruin Daiyu's reputation. In any case, Jia Lian was relieved.

The four major families have always been headed by the Jia family, but now the Jia family is not as good as before, but Jia's mother's seniority is there, and many people still come to celebrate her birthday.

Daiyu and Xie Jinxuan left after lunch, so they didn't know that at night when everyone in Jia's family and guests were listening to the play, they were shocked and flustered when they suddenly heard of Yuan Chun's death.

It was originally a very festive day, and Jia's mother was making a show amidst the crowd's welcome, but she saw Jia Zhang stumbling in, followed by Xue Baochai with a pale face.Jia Mu was immediately displeased. On such a day, who would she show such a mournful face?But soon, she didn't think so.

"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor..." Jia Zhang choked up and couldn't speak, and Baochai hurriedly said, "My condolences to the old Ancestor, just now someone came from the palace and said that the imperial concubine...is dead. "

Hearing this, all the female relatives in the mansion knelt down in a hurry. Mother Jia was startled when she heard the words, and stood up tremblingly helping the mandarin duck, "Baby girl, who are you talking about? Who are you talking about... dead?"

Before Baochai could reply, Jiazhang had already yelled out, "Old Ancestor, it is our imperial concubine, our imperial concubine is dead!"

At this time, Jia Zhang really thought that Jia Mu was old and deaf, and was afraid that Jia Mu would not be able to hear, so when she yelled so bluntly, Jia Mu directly pouted.

When Jia's mother woke up again, Jia Zhang and Xue Baochai had already been punished to kneel for two hours, and Jia Zhang's face was even more pale, as if mourning a concubine.If Mother Jia has something good or bad because of this, she doesn't have to live.Now that Jia's mother woke up, while Jia Zhang was relieved, she couldn't help resenting Baochai.I was confused for a while, but Xue Baochai was calm, but I didn't know to remind myself, it was really hateful.

Everyone in the Jia family doesn't care about Jia Zhang now. As soon as Jia Mufu woke up, she grabbed the hand of Yingchun who was serving beside her, "Second girl, your eldest sister... your eldest sister really..."

Yingchun bit her lower lip tightly, nodded lightly, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, please take care of yourself, we juniors are all counting on you!"

Mother Jia held her breath, sat up holding Yingchun's hand, looked around the room, and said, "Where's your second wife?"

Yingchun said: "My wife heard the bad news at first, and she couldn't hold on anymore. She is resting over there. My sister-in-law is watching over my wife."

Mother Jia was deeply saddened, but she was not shocked by the bad news and lost her mind. Now that many doubts are still unclear, it is really not the time to lie down.

He patted Yingchun's hand, "You are a healthy person now, so you don't need to worry about it at home, you can go back with Qi'an, don't worry your wife."

Yingchun was used to being cowardly, although she still missed her family, she would not disobey Jia Mu, so she said a few more words of comfort, and followed Qi'an back home.

After dismissing the married daughter and arranging all the affairs in the mansion, Jia's mother gathered all the men of the Jia family together.

"Usually, if a noble concubine dies in the palace, it must be ordered to order the ministers to enter the palace. Is there a decree in the palace now?"

"Only the eunuch sent by the Department of Internal Affairs came to pass the message. There is no order from the palace."

Jia's mother's heart sank slightly. This neither summoned nor allowed to hang banners. It can be seen that the death of the imperial concubine was not honorable, and it was even possible... Jia's whole body was shocked, and an ominous premonition came to her heart.

Seeing that Jia Mu's expression was wrong, Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "Old lady, what's wrong?"

Mother Jia clenched the leading crutch tightly in her hand, and sighed softly, "Boss and second child, you two should go to Wang's house to find out what Mr. Wang means. Ask Lian'er and Baoyu to go to Lin's house. Lin Juesu came It is a way to make friends with the Twelve Princes."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng looked at each other and responded quickly. Jia Lian hesitated for a long time and said, "Old lady, I'd better go to the Lin family by myself and ask Baoyu to accompany you. There must always be someone to support the family."

At this time, Jia's mother would not explore Jia Lian's unfinished intentions anymore, she nodded and said, "You go out and bring a few more servants, so Baoyu can stay."

The three left in a hurry. Mother Jia glanced at Baoyu who had been standing by the side. She shook her head helplessly, beckoned Baoyu to come over, touched his head, and said softly, "Baoyu, there is something wrong at home now." Things, you have to learn to stand up to the door."

Two lines of clear tears flowed from Baoyu's eyes, "Old lady..." Everyone is busy, who else remembers his eldest sister?Poor big sister, now only he is still thinking about big sister.

It was already night, but how could the Jia family take the curfew seriously?

When Jia Lian arrived at Lin's house, Lin Jue and Li Yibai had already rested. Hearing that it was Jia Lian's visit, Lin Jue was quite surprised. Li Yibai didn't want to pay attention to it, but seeing Lin Jue's expression of interest, he had to ask his servants to come first. Take it to the inner hall.

While putting on her clothes, Lin Jue said, "I'm afraid it's really something to come here so late. I remember that today is the birthday of the old lady of the Jia family, right?"

Li Yibai nodded, knowing that something important was going to happen, so he got up and got dressed.

Seeing the two of them coming together, Jia Lian didn't care about being surprised, and hurriedly greeted them. Since King Yonghe was here, it would be much more convenient to inquire about the situation.

After hearing Jia Lian's intention, Li Yibai looked at Lin Jue and said, "I haven't heard any news from here. Speaking of which, the death of a noble concubine is not a trivial matter. Since the prince has not been informed, it is not even for Jia's family to enter the palace." , Do not hang white flags, I am afraid..."

Jia Lian's heart trembled, and now that the words had come to an end, Jia Lian couldn't ask further questions, and left in a panic.Lin Jue didn't care about his disrespect, and turned to Li Yibai and said, "This virtuous concubine is a noble concubine after all. At the time, the noble concubine Zhou died so dishonorably, maybe she hung a white flag. It seems that this virtuous concubine committed a crime. It's not a small matter!"

Li Yibai nodded and said: "I'm afraid it is. At this time, Jia Jiahe shouldn't be walking around, but should be staying at home. Mrs. Jia is really confused."

"I am afraid that the Jia family is really anxious this time. After all, the glory of the Jia family is tied to the concubine Xiande. Now that the concubine Xiande has passed away for no reason, and she has not even issued a decree. I am afraid that the old lady Jia also expected that things will happen. alright."

The two looked at each other and smiled, what happened to the Jia family had nothing to do with them.
