Continuing the Fate of the Red Mansion and Jade Water

Slightly frowned and said: "Mother mentioned this again. Grandmother has already settled on Sister Lin. Even though Xue's family is an imperial merchant, their family background is not bad. Could it be possible to be a concubine for Baoyu?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "it's impossible to be a concubine. It's Baoyu's official wife. The old lady has agreed."

Yuan Chun was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Grandmother has always been very opposed, how could she agree to it? So, what about sister Lin?"

Mrs. Wang triumphantly took out the marriage contract from her body, brought it to Yuan Chun, and said, "Look at what this is?"

Yuan Chun took it over and looked at it carefully, and said, "It's the engagement between Sister Lin and Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang said: "Our family's one is at the old lady's place, and this one is kept by Miss Lin."

Yuan Chun was still puzzled and asked, "How come sister Lin's is in mother's hands?"

Mrs. Wang laughed very proudly, and said: "Speaking of which, it is thanks to that girl Zijuan. Girl Lin hides this thing so tightly that she doesn't even know where to put the snow geese she brought from the south. , she found it with great difficulty, and Lin Yatou has no marriage contract in her hands, so it is not justifiable for us to let Baoyu marry Baoyu."

Yuan Chun still had some doubts and asked: "Mother said that grandma really agreed to break up the marriage with the Lin family?"

Mrs. Wang was a little displeased, and said: "Naturally, even though I want to marry Bao girl wholeheartedly, I can't get past your grandmother, right? It was so easy for me to convince the old lady, and now I just wait for that girl Lin to die of illness soon. Let's arrange a wedding for Baoyu and Bao girl."

Yuan Chun frowned and looked at his mother and said: "Mother, there is no one who curses other girls. Although Sister Lin is weaker, I can't expect her..."

Mrs. Wang felt a little lost, and hurriedly said: "Where is it that I cursed her, the imperial doctor said that her body is as dry as a lamp, and it has only been half a year, so I came up with this idea. If her The body is as healthy as Bao girl, how could my mother think about it."

Yuan Chun looked at Mrs. Wang with a proud face, and asked, "What did my mother do in this? Grandmother has always been very firm about Baoyu's marriage, why did she suddenly change?"

It's really Zhimu Mo Ruonu, Mrs. Wang turned her face away in embarrassment. Naturally, she did something wrong, and she wanted to make that Lin girl suffer so much that she couldn't tell. She is in charge of everything in the building, and she manages the Xiaoxiang Pavilion up and down, and it has nothing to do with her as a wife if there is anything missing.

Looking at his mother's appearance, Yuan Chun knew that it must be true. His mother really worked hard for Baoyu, but in her opinion, Sister Lin was more suitable for him.

"Mother, it's better to think about it again. It's okay for Sister Lin to be thin. There are so many good imperial doctors in the palace. They will definitely be able to cure her illness. If our mansion can't afford it, the daughter will do it. One thing he and the other There is a marriage contract, and on the other hand, I saw that Baoyu treated sister Lin and sister Bao differently during that return visit."

Mrs. Wang lowered her face, and said: "Since ancient times, good wives and husbands have seldom had misfortunes. That Lin girl only knows how to write poems and essays every day, and never urges Baoyu to study and improve. It is Baoyu who persuades Baoyu whenever she has the opportunity. How can your mother not like that girl."

Yuan Chun persuaded: "Baoyu was originally a very clever child, and he has shown it clearly since he was a child. As long as he pays attention to everything, there is still a problem. Besides, he and Sister Lin grew up together, and they have a deep affection for each other. If you know that the family is going to marry another one for him, there will be trouble."

Mrs. Wang said: "That's why we have to wait for that girl Lin to die, and then marry another one for Baoyu? My mother is thinking that then you will make a decree to give Baoyu and Baochai a marriage. Our family is also lively by this matter." Somehow, it’s best to catch up with the Chinese New Year, when the family is lively and the New Year is over, so it’s great to have a happy event for the two of them.”

Yuan Chun was taken aback. It's already halfway through September, and my mother can't hope that Sister Lin will be gone years ago.Please log in to download this book

Concubine Beijing's birthday was grand and dignified, and even the empress dowager and the lords of the palace sent people to present gifts. It was not until the evening when the lanterns were lit that the guests gradually dispersed.Love luxuriant.Please remember this site

The old concubine was tired all day, she changed into homely clothes and leaned on the kang, the concubine Zhao is ordering someone to bring some rare gifts one by one for the old concubine to have a look at.

"Mother Concubine, look, this Hetian jade statue of Avalokitesvara was sent by the emperor. I heard that there are only two bottles in the palace. The big one is in the queen mother's palace, and this is the smaller one. It can be seen that the emperor treats it like this. Mothers and concubines are different, in summer, Concubine Nan'an did not honor their residence for her [-]th birthday." Two servants carried them up to let the concubine watch carefully.

The concubine also liked it when she saw it, nodded and said: "Yes, it's really good. I thought about sending someone to invite the great monk of Jing'an Temple to come and consecrate the light, and invite this Avalokitesvara to my Buddhist hall. I will sooner or later Burn incense, and bless you young couple to give me more grandchildren."

Although Princess Zhao Huiying has been married into the Beijing Palace for several years, and still has a son and a daughter by her side, she couldn't help but blushed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "The concubine said us too badly, although the concubine and the prince are young , is also a husband and wife for five or six years, besides, the concubine now has one grandson and two granddaughters, isn't that enough?"

The concubine is still satisfied with this daughter-in-law, except that she is a little stricter on the concubine Ji in the son's room, and she is filial and caring to her, better than her married daughters. Because of the thought of having an heir, she said: " Rong'er is only one son now, it's too simple, you also know what the concubine mother thinks, so it doesn't matter if it's a girl, if it's a boy, it's better to come from your stomach, it's not noble to be born from a concubine, is it?"

The concubine treats her very well, and Princess Zhao is very grateful for this. The prince has many concubines, and sometimes it is inevitable to neglect the concubine. If she does not come to her room for ten or eight days, the concubine will call The prince went over to teach him a lesson personally. If any of the concubines dared to bully the concubine, the concubine would definitely make the decision for the concubine. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along like a mother and daughter.

Just like now, she is the only one who can sit next to the concubine, and the side concubines and concubines can only stand far away, and the concubines who are lower can only stand outside and wait to be summoned. A very well-mannered person is very clear about the difference between the front and the side. Concubine Zhao is grateful for the kindness of the concubine and is more filial.

Concubine Zhao smiled and said: "My concubine understands." She waved her hands and asked the girl to bring a box over, and said, "Mother and concubine, look, this is rewarded by the queen mother. A string of high-quality Buddhist beads, it is really suitable for you." The emperor thought of a piece to go."

The concubine reached out to take it, looked at it carefully, and suddenly said with a groan: "Isn't this what the queen mother often uses, usually she never leaves her hand, she cherishes it so much, why did she give it to our house today. "

Concubine Zhao also said: "It was sent by the eunuch Zhou Gonggong who is next to the queen mother, and he said that he would present it to the concubine mother in the evening. The concubine concubine looked familiar at the time, but I can't tell that the concubine mother is 52 years old this year. It’s not a whole birthday, mother concubine, why do the empress dowager and the emperor suddenly bestow favors on our mansion?”

The concubine put down the beads, sat up straight, thought for a while, and then said: "I understand, in summer, the Yellow River flooded, and Rong'er worked there for three months before the waterway was cured, and the waterway was calmed down. Well, the disaster victims, the emperor wanted to reward Rong'er a lot, but he was afraid that it was not for his military exploits. It would not be good for the rift between their cousins ​​to be rewarded too much, so he used my birthday to make up for it. "

Concubine Zhao also thought about it after hearing this, nodded and said: "My concubine said this, and my concubine also thinks it is right. Originally, our prince and the emperor have one heart, and the palace has given us the most rewards in the palace. , King Dongping, King Xining, and the others have long been resentful, so the concubine was still wondering why the emperor just commended the prince for such a great achievement, so there is such a saying."

The concubine said again: "Rong'er is different from the others. Although they are both the grandsons of the great grandfather, Rong'er doesn't like to practice martial arts by nature, and the great grandfather made a rule that no excessive rewards should be given for military achievements. The emperor wants to reward more, but he also has to worry about the rules, so I carry this prayer beads with me, so that the empress dowager and the emperor's wishes will not be in vain."

At this time, the girl reported back that the prince came in, Princess Zhao led the girls to welcome him out, and saw the Merry Prince walking in in a light yellow suit.

Shui Rong saw that the concubine and concubines were waiting outside the door under the eaves of the porch, walked a few steps quickly, helped up the concubine who was leading the ceremony, and said: "After a busy day, the concubine is tired, why don't you rest in the room?" , What are you doing to meet me again?"

Concubine Zhao wiped the almost invisible dust on her body with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the prince for a day, even though I'm tired, I want to greet him in person."

Shui Rong smiled, and walked into the concubine's room together with the concubine's hand, ignoring the concubine who was kneeling beside her, and the concubine felt more contented when she saw her son and daughter-in-law walking together.

After Shui Rong saw the ceremony, he asked the concubine if she was exhausted today. The concubine said, "I'm a little tired, but seeing everyone having fun, I didn't feel anything wrong. It's all over now, so hurry up and lie down and rest." Xie, Huiying, let the maids bring the things that the emperor rewarded to Rong'er."

Shui Rong looked at the Avalokitesvara statue with the girls' hands, and then looked at the string of Buddhist beads in the hands of the concubine, and praised her repeatedly. The concubine said: "You have to keep in mind the kindness of the empress dowager and the emperor, and serve the emperor with your heart."

"Son knows
