The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

No matter how high Mrs. Jia's mother thinks of herself, she can't compare with the princess of the county.They all smiled and went forward to pay respects.

Princess Dong'an is only in her forties, she is not outstanding in appearance, what is rare is her noble demeanor.After all, she and Madam Xing were of the same generation, so before Mother Jia could bow down, she hurriedly asked someone to help her to give up her seat, and said with a smile: "The old lady is too polite."

During the conversation, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang had already blessed her body, and the Yingchun sisters came to pay their respects.Princess Dong'an looked around, turned her head and said to Jiamu with a smile on her face, "The old lady is so lucky to have these flower-like granddaughters by her side."

Mother Jia bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "What the princess said is true. Now that I am old, I hope that there will be more excitement around me."

Princess Dong'an smiled and signaled the Sanchun sisters to step forward and take a closer look.

The three Yingchun sisters don't live together now. Although Mrs. Xing is stingy, she has something on her mind that the first room must overwhelm the second room.Therefore, it is rare and generous to prepare very gorgeous costumes for the Spring Festival - honey-colored glitter gold jacquard brocade brocade with double breasts and long skirts, beige jacket with a stand-up collar inside, and a pink pleated skirt underneath.Yingchun is the oldest and taller, but this dress can better bring out her fair complexion, gentleness and silence.It's just that he seldom sees outsiders on weekdays, so he can't help being a little nervous about Princess Dong'an at this time.

Tanchun chose a dark pink dress embroidered with large peonies, and the agate pendant next to his ear swayed gently as he saluted.He has a moderate manner between advancing and retreating, which seems to be more stable than Yingchun.

Xichun was young, and she was wearing hazy purple embroidered cross-collared thongs with plum blossoms, and a skirt of the same color underneath, she was pretty and lovely.

Princess Dong'an signaled the girl to bring three gifts, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I see your sisters today, you are all good boys, I don't know how to praise you." This girl doesn't look like that kind of frivolous generation, and she looks pretty, but it's a pity that she was born into the wrong family.

Yingchun and the three were busy and thanked, Princess Dong'an shook her hand and smiled: "It's not a great thing, you sisters just keep it for fun."

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang also got up and thanked.

Lin Yan didn't invite many people, but Zhao Zi and his wife are now Daiyu's adoptive father and adoptive mother, and thinking that although the Zhao family has a high reputation among scholars, they are not in the court after all, so it's okay to say that they have a scholarly family. It's too late to talk about power.Lin Yan was afraid that some bad idea would come up in the Rong Mansion, and that Daiyu's once-in-a-lifetime ceremony would have something wrong, and they would not look good to each other.Just when he was in trouble, Situ Lan gave him an idea - Dong'an Prince's Mansion and Anlehou's Mansion are relatives, so it's better to invite the female family members of Dong'an Mansion to come forward.One is to make Daiyu look better, and the other is to win over relatives first.

Lin Yan didn't need to bother about this matter, Yun Ning had already gone to ask her aunt and grandmother, and was teased by the old concubine a lot.Fortunately, his face was stern, except for the old concubine, no one else could bear to join in the fun.

At this time, apart from Princess Dong'an and Mrs. Zhao, there were several female family members who were familiar with the Lin family, some were old friends of Lin Ruhai, and some were introduced by Zhao Zi to visit Lin Yan.Knowing that Daiyu is married to Ji today, if she accepted the post and didn't say that the two families are on good terms, she would come just because of Lin Yan, who is about to end, not to mention that Daiyu will be the wife of the Houfu in the future.

Mrs. Zhao is Daiyu's adoptive mother, and there is no hostess in Lin's residence, so Lin Yan entrusts her to treat the guests here.Because she and several other female relatives had table gifts for Yingchun and so on, after the three sisters had thanked them, they smiled and said to Jia Mu: "Little girl, it's bound to be here with us. Why don't you invite them to go behind With Yu girl, what does the old matriarch say?"

Mother Jia nodded with a smile, and Mrs. Zhao called the girl of the Lin family who was standing here to wait, and took Yingchun and the others out.

A few of Yingchun had been to the Lin Mansion, and when they came back again, they felt completely different.In the past few months, things have been going on in the Rong Mansion. Although the previous rumors were concealed, they all heard some rumors, but it was about Baochai.They were originally together, so naturally they were a little uneasy.Later, Jia Amnesty took Yingchun to live there, and Tanchun and Xichun were left in the Kuayuan. The sisters spent less time together except to pay their respects to Jia's mother every day.

After turning around a few corridors, I arrived at the small courtyard where Daiyu lived.When Daiyu heard that Yingchun was coming, she rushed out to welcome them.

Because she will change her clothes later, Daiyu's attire today is very simple, and she looks fresh and pleasant.The cousins ​​hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were somewhat unfamiliar, so Daiyu let them in with a smile.

Sitting inside was Zhao Ying, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Zhao, and Ming Ya, the young princess of Dong'an Palace, and four or five other girls.We met one by one, and just sat down to talk.

Tanchun is only one month younger than Daiyu, and will soon be Jiji's age.But looking at the style of the Lin Mansion today, and thinking about the situation in his own family, he knows that it will never be so beautiful.After all, the old ladies and wives have not mentioned this matter until now, not to mention that the 15th birthday of the second sister Yingchun was not a big event.To say that among these few sisters, the only one who has celebrated her 15th birthday is a guest girl, Baochai.

Thinking about the time when Sister Bao was in the house, the old lady knew that she was in her prime, but she only gave 20 taels of silver to Lian's second sister-in-law to prepare for her birthday. Tanchun suddenly felt a chill in her heart.She is a very smart girl, her subtleties are no less than that of Sister Feng's son Baochai and Daiyu, but it's a pity that she was detained by her status as a concubine.

Daiyu was full of smiles, showing the friendship of a landlord to the fullest, and the girls became acquainted within a short time.While chatting and laughing, it was the auspicious time, outside Chen Sheng's family came in and respectfully invited Princess Mingya and others to go out to watch the ceremony.

Mingya's status is the most honorable here, she immediately got up, winked mischievously at Daiyu, and went out first.The Yingchun sisters followed behind, leaving only Zhao Ying because she was a praiser, and she wanted to go with Daiyu later.

For a while, only Daiyu and Zhao Ying were left in the room. Daiyu took Zhao Ying's hand, frowned and said, "Good sister, I'm a little panicked."

Although Zhao Ying was young, she was taught by her mother to speak and act like a young adult. She nodded and said, "It's inevitable, today is my sister's big day. But, didn't all the nuns say that my sister's etiquette is very difficult to advance and retreat. It's decent, why are you nervous? My sister just needs to be normal."

While talking, Mrs. Zhao came in, and seeing Daiyu and her daughter sitting there, both looking a little nervous, couldn't help laughing.Wen Yan comforted Daiyu a few words, and led the two girls out.

All the guests outside had already sat down, Zhao Zi and Lin Yanqian made room for a few words, stood up and opened the ceremony.The simple and melodious music played, Mrs. Zhao came in with Daiyu's hand in front.Daiyu wrapped herself in plain clothes, with black hair and shawls, walking slowly with a solemn expression.

Three additions and three obeisances, offering wine and rice wine, Daiyu paid homage to Princess Dong'an with full sincerity, and Princess Dong'an also replied with a smile.

At this point, it should have been a section of Ziji listening training.Naturally, Lin Yan knew long ago that Jia Baoyu of the Rong Mansion had heartlessly named Daiyu, and called it "twinkle".From what Lin Yan saw, this Jia Baoyu felt at ease not to make her sister feel better. What does the word "frown" mean?Frown sad also.Let my sister live with such a word all her life, it's no wonder she doesn't cry to death!Besides, no matter how empty the Lin family is, it's not his turn to help Daiyu!

Zhao Zi and his wife took the main seat unceremoniously because they had to win the girl's parents to take a word.At this time Daiyu knelt down facing the two of them, before Zhao Zi could speak, she heard a loud shout from outside: "The emperor's edict has arrived!"

Lin Yan's heart trembled, fearing that the Supreme Emperor might have some foolish ideas, he hurriedly stood up and walked out.For a while, Zhao Zi, his wife Daiyu and all the spectators hurriedly stood up to welcome the Supreme Emperor's edict, but they couldn't help seeing the surprised expressions on their faces when they looked at each other.

Lin Yan went outside in a hurry, and when he saw the person delivering the decree, he was so angry that he almost beat him up—the person who came was a light yellow soft silk gown with arrow sleeves, a dark three-jade buckle belt around his waist, and a Light gold brocade jacquard gown, hair tied with a jade crown, sword eyebrows and star eyes, who is it if it's not Yunning?

When Yun Ning saw Lin Yan, the corners of his mouth curled up: "Uncle suddenly had a whim, and gave Miss Lin a letter, and specially ordered me to pass the decree."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes inwardly when he heard this, it was too good to be stuck at this time.I had no choice but to kneel down and thank you, Yun Ning hurriedly helped, and said: "Brother Lin, you don't have to do this, let's go in first, don't miss the auspicious time."

A group of people from the Lin Mansion surrounded Yun Ning and walked in. Yun Ning entered the yard with the emperor's decree in both hands, and all the people in the yard knelt down.

Yunning saw Daiyu in the crowd at a glance.She wore a crimson formal dress, her black hair was pulled up, and she wore a golden hairpin on it.Although the attire is grand, it is not out of the ordinary.

Yun Ning calmed down, unfolded the edict, and announced the decree loudly.The Taishanghuang's decree was written in a smooth and stable manner, nothing more than praising Daiyu for being virtuous and gentle, with excellent demeanor and speech.When Yun Ning read it to the end, he got to the point. The Taishang Emperor bestowed Dai Yu with a nickname, named "You Ning".

Speaking of the Supreme Emperor, he had nothing to do, and learned from Situ Lan that Daiyu was about to reach the age of Ji.For a moment, he thought of the girl who had endured for many years for herself and died early, and also thought of Yun Ning, in order to reassure her son, she let go of the Northwest military power that the Yun family had controlled for many years, and only stayed in Beijing.So far, the wife has not married, and the career has not been established. It is really a bit of a grievance.Therefore, how to give Yun Ning a face is how to come.Today it was announced that Yun Ning would enter the palace, and he was mysteriously handed an order to him. Although Yun Ning was happy to see it, but feared that he would not be able to keep up, he took the order all the way out of the palace gate, and came galloping on horseback.

Daiyu blushed when Yunning came in.Although her name was decided early and Lin Yan arranged for her to meet Yun Ning twice, she was still a little embarrassed.Suppressing the panic in her heart, Daiyu kowtowed to express her gratitude when Yun Ning announced the decree, and stretched out her hand to receive the decree.

The two touched their fingertips, and their hearts were shaking.

Lin Yan couldn't see from the side that Yun Ning was only staring at his sister, and there was a whole yard of people kneeling on the ground, you screamed!Coughing lightly, Yunning came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to help Zhao Zi, and said, "Everyone, please get up."

Lin Yan moved Yun Ning to the front seat, Yun Ning said a few words humbly, and then sat down.He also looked at Zhao Zi and his wife Yin Yin admonishing Daiyu a few words, and the ceremony of consecration was completed.

Lin's residence set up a banquet, the male guests were outside, and the female relatives were inside, and the feast was divided.Not to mention the outside, among the women's family members inside, Princess Dong'an naturally sat in the first place, accompanied by Jia Mu, the prime minister on the left, and then several other women's family members, Mrs. Zhao, Daiyu and others had another table, arranged in the cross room inside.

Mother Jia recalled that An Lehou, who just came to deliver the decree, knew that Yunning was the son of the Eldest Princess, but she thought that although Yunning's status was noble, he was no more than a warrior. It would be a bit arrogant to match Daiyu. The feeling of chewing peonies.Unexpectedly, after seeing it, I realized that Yunning is young and has a very good appearance. Judging by his demeanor, it is really not comparable to that of a child raised in the inner courtyard like Baoyu.

It's just a pity, now Daiyu is getting more and more alienated from her.Otherwise, this An Lehou will be a great help to the Rong Mansion!

Glancing at Mrs. Wang with drooping eyelids, and remembering Baoyu who was clamoring to come with her in the morning, Mother Jia sighed deeply. In any case, she could not marry Daiyu for Baoyu, but she would never marry the Xue family. Baochai!

After the banquet, everyone left one after another, and Zhao Zi and his wife stayed at the end.Lin Yan saw off the guests, returned to the flower hall and bowed to Zhao Zi, apologetic.He had already agreed with Zhao Zi that Zhao Zi would choose the characters for Daiyu, but he didn't want the Supreme Emperor to intervene.

Zhao Zi is a generous person, so naturally he would not argue with Lin Yan because of this, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "You are too careless. It is a great honor to be awarded by the Supreme Emperor. If you say something powerful, Yu'er will After passing through the door, the status between people is also longer. This is a good thing, if I argue with you because of this, I will be in vain as Mr. Lin's best friend."

Lin Yan also smiled and relieved after hearing this.

But he said that at the end of February, the exam would start.Lin Yan changed into plain clothes, his hair was tied with an ebony hairpin, and he entered the tribute courtyard under the watchful eyes of Situ Lan and others.Three sessions in nine days, classics, essays, rhymes and poems. When Lin Yan came out again, although he looked like a young man from a distance, he was exhausted from a close look.He has practiced boxing and kicking since he was a child, and although he is thinner, he is strong, and he is still like this. It is not uncommon for him to faint when he comes out and be carried back by his family.

After studying hard for many years, it was announced that Lin Yan would be No.2 in the high school exam.Not to mention how everyone in Lin's mansion was smiling and cheeky, even Situ Lan felt honored, and he couldn't help but cock his tail when he entered and exited the Emperor's Qinzheng Hall.

Waiting for the palace examination in April, the talent ceremony, Lin Yan's strategy is amazing, the diction is sharp, the arguments are incisive, and it is amazing.It's just that there are those pedantic people who, on the grounds that their father, Lin Ruhai, has a previous record, and that the son should not surpass his father, insist that he should not be named the number one scholar.

Emperor Situ Jun followed the good example, and appointed Lin Yan as the current scientific researcher, euphemistically saying: "One school, two Jinshi, father and son, two Tanhua."
