The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

It was so easy to wait until the twins of the prince's family were one year old. Zhuang Xuan, who was born ten months earlier, has been raised very strong. She looks a lot bigger than the two little ones, but they are all white, fat, soft and tender. It looks like three dolls fluttering together, their hands and feet like lotus root joints are soft and slippery, so that the queen and Qiu Qingyu who are standing by can't put it down, tease this one, pat that one, and look at them happily "ahhhh", "Yeah!" He said something they didn't understand.The three children still look serious, but no one knows if they are talking to each other.

The three dolls have playmates and are accompanied by their grandmothers who love them the most. They are very excited to play, completely unaware that their parents have left them and gone away.By the time they realized at night that they were looking for someone, most of the people who rushed to appear on weekdays had disappeared.It's a pity that there is no way to cry anymore at this time.

But the two mothers, Daiyu and Crown Princess, couldn't sleep well in the first few nights after they left, thinking about the baby at home.However, just like what Zhuang Yu and the prince said, they still have the opportunity to come out to play like this. Going to broaden your horizons in the vast world will only leave regrets in the future.

Daiyu and the princess also slowly adjusted their mentality, just like what her husband said, there are probably no more than ten fingers in the number of noble ladies and grand masters and daughter-in-laws in the capital who can be accompanied by their husbands to go out and play like them What's more, they have never even gone out of the gate of the capital. If they really miss this opportunity, maybe they will feel regret and regret for the rest of their lives.Anyway, the children are taken by their grandparents, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking care of them, so there is nothing to worry about, and it is better to compensate them more when they go back.

It's just that this trip was really not as expected for Zhuang Yu.Originally planned to travel with Daiyu and Zhuang Lanhong's family, due to the strong intervention of the prince and his wife, the team was expanded and the time was delayed.

But when they really set off, the team has grown a little bit more, traveling with his wife and children has become a team leader, which makes Zhuang Yu feel unbalanced no matter how he thinks about it.

Zhuang Yu and Daiyu took Zhuang Lanhong with them, while the prince and concubine brought Zhuang Rui with them, which is normal.

Before departure, it happened that Lin Ji was newly married and had a one-month holiday, so Lin Ji simply followed up with his newlywed wife Zhou Tong.

That's all, anyway, Lin Ji and Zhou Tong are just newlyweds, and it's still a time of honey, so they may not disturb him and Daiyu, and Lin Ji and the others will only be together for a month at most.

However, what really gave Zhuang Yu a headache was that his twin brothers, Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Zhuo, dragged Lin Yu around, and these were the ones who really disturbed people, especially when they were young and had plenty of time, so they could do it. Play along the way for a full year.

This made Zhuang Yu have to worry about whether they ran wild, caused trouble, whether they ran out of the range of the guards who were hiding to protect them...

Headache, big fire!

This trip, just like this, turned from the tender and romantic trip that Zhuang Yu had expected, into a lively frenzy.

Zhuang Xuan, Zhuang Zhuo, and Lin Yu are about the same age, and they are not too young now, and they will be able to get married in two years.

Needless to say, the Zhuang Sui brothers, even Lin Yu's marriage was entrusted to Qiu Qingyu by Lin Hai. Now Qiu Qingyu is also busy seeing girls of various ages. If there is a good one, it should be settled as soon as possible That's good, it's really not a small project to decide on three candidates at once.

But these three children were relieved. When they asked them what kind of wife they wanted, they all said that Qiu Qingyu was the one to make the decision. The only condition was that Qiu Qingyu thought it was good. The mistress who is the director of the house, the chores in the back house are checked and balanced by several nuns in charge of each other, but they can't help the little master's marriage at all.

However, it was the Lin family's face that Daiyu begged Qiu Qingyu to come forward, but no one was so ruthless to say that the Lin family did not have a mistress. On the contrary, some people were more inclined to this marriage - although it shouldn't be, but there is no one to enter the door. The mother-in-law needs to serve, not to mention decades of rules, and it is very likely that she will be able to manage the house immediately. For a daughter-in-law, it is really a good thing, and it does not take many years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law.

However, the situation of the Lin family is simple and complex.Lin Ji chose a completely different path from Lin Hai's, and Lin Yu was destined to inherit Lin Hai's connection background, with one pen and one military, but it also meant that the two of them could not reach the pinnacle of power at the same time, and to what extent they could reach all depended on them It is even possible that the achievement of one party will become an obstacle for the other party to make progress.

Although Lin Hai felt slightly regretful about this, he also knew that there was nothing to be dissatisfied with at this point.Moreover, he even has the principle that "flowers do not become popular in a hundred days", so he does not expect the Lin family to be prominent and hold power from generation to generation—especially his youngest son, although he is very talented in reading, his weak sense of direction is not enough. He hasn't improved much because of his knowledge or age, and his temperament is more pure and straightforward than smooth and sophisticated. Such a person is suitable for being a pure minister, but he is not good at being a powerful minister. The second one is Lin Hai, and Lin Hai really doesn't want his son to follow his own old path. It looks beautiful, but it is actually full of calculations and precautions, and life is too tiring.To be honest, if Daiyu had not had a good life and entered the door of Prince Chengke's mansion, it is still unclear whether the Lin family can survive the calculations of many people.

Therefore, rather than allowing his sons to occupy high positions and make the Lin family famous, Lin Hai hoped that his two sons could live in harmony and respect each other as brothers and friends.

So Lin Hai expressed his own opinion through Daiyu. The daughter-in-law—whether it is Lin Ji's daughter-in-law now or Lin Yu's future wife, he has no opinion of the family, character is the most important thing-the Lin family is no longer You need to rely on in-laws to consolidate your status and power, and stable and stable development is the most important thing.

In fact, there are some things that Lin Hai can't open his mouth to say to Daiyu, even Daiyu knows these things well.

In terms of in-laws, the Lin family already has Prince Chengke's mansion, so how can it be so prominent no matter how prominent it is?Those aristocratic families with ulterior motives may still want to post their relationship with Prince Chengke's Mansion through the Lin Mansion.

Taking a step back, the in-law relationship is not indestructible.Just like Jia Min's natal Jia's house, didn't they ever plot against Jia Min and Daiyu?Isn't it a mess that makes people hate their way of life?

Instead of marrying a daughter-in-law and having to bear the calculations and deeds of her natal family, it is better to marry a daughter-in-law with a simple family background. With the Lin family.

Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu also understood Lin Hai's concerns, and deeply believed in it. Even the Xuanhe Ruchengke Prince's Mansion cannot guarantee that it will still have its current status after several generations.

Although Zhuang Ye and Emperor Chunyou, Zhuang Yu and Prince Zhuang Yan can all be said to have a deep relationship, and even the next generation Zhuang Rui and Zhuang Xuan can cultivate their relationship since childhood, but what about the next generation?What about the next generation?Who can guarantee that the two families will remain inseparable from generation to generation?

So, don't look at both Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Zhuo being made heir kings, Zhuang Lan was born as a princess, but no matter how many, as parents, Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu will not beg for them again up.What's more, Zhuang Ye had agreed with Zhuang Yu early on that although Prince Chengke's mansion is a hereditary title of prince, they planned to ask the emperor to change it to a lower-ranking title when Zhuang Yu inherited the title.In the future, if the title does not want to be degraded or even promoted back to the title of prince, it is up to the descendants to strive hard to fight for it, and there is no need to worry that the descendants will make meritorious deeds, but the future emperor will seal the lineage of Prince Chengke's mansion. There is nothing to seal, and it becomes a situation of success and high shock.

Zhuang Ye didn't want his descendants to lie on such a princely title that would not be lowered, but could not be further promoted, and would not think about making progress or have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Zhuang Yu didn't disagree with this either. To be honest, although he inherited his father's title, with his own abilities and contributions, no matter how hard he worked, it wasn't that he couldn't earn the title of prince by himself.Since he can do it himself, he believes that his descendants can also do it with their own efforts. As descendants of the royal family, they have already stood at a higher starting point than others.

Apart from Zhuang Ye and his son, only Qiu Qingyu and Daiyu knew about this decision. After all, it is not yet time to explain to Emperor Chunyou, but to find the right time, otherwise the rest of the hereditary will not take the title Everyone in the family must regard the Chengke Prince's Mansion as a thorn in their side - not everyone can be so dissatisfied with power and position.

However, Lin Hai's thoughts coincided with Zhuang Ye's, which made Zhuang Ye look up to him a little bit more, and Qiu Qingyu became more concerned about the marriage of Lin Ji and the two brothers.

Chou Qingyu chose Zhou Tong in the end, and she didn't know how many girls she had met before. Fortunately, she had a high status, so many of them were the wife who was willing to bring her daughter to her to show her face.

Qiu Qingyu previously fell in love with three girls who were about the same age as Lin Ji. They were all good in character, talent and appearance. After observing secretly for a long time, Zhou Tong was not the best, but he was the most suitable for Lin Ji and the Lin family.

The other two girls, one surnamed Li, were known as talented women. They were taught strictly since they were young. It is impossible for him to completely control it, and he himself does not value these family properties and wealth. If he gives up some due benefits in the future, this Miss Li may have some unexpected intentions, but it is not necessarily because of money. People's hearts, but in the concept she accepts, this is against the rules.

The other girl was surnamed Zhang. Her aunt died young and she was brought up by her grandmother. Although her stepmother and father loved her stepmother's younger siblings more, her grandmother loved her more, and her stepmother didn't treat her harshly. Her life was considered peaceful.She was also taught very well, gentle and orderly, with a certain amount of advance and retreat.It's just that Qiu Qingyu has observed for a long time, and found that this girl has a little bit of rivalry with her stepmother's younger sister. This is not a bad thing, but once she enters the Lin family, it is a hidden worry.

The relationship between Lin Ji and Lin Yu is very good now, but if the daughter-in-law wants to compete and pushes Lin Ji to fight, or the sister-in-law will not get along in the future, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Lin family.

But generally speaking, these two girls are good girls, but they are not suitable for the Lin family.Qiu Qingyu was the matchmaker, and they all married into good families.

Speaking of it, Zhou Tong's family background is not comparable to that of Miss Li and Miss Zhang. Ke Sheng's family background is simple, although his temperament is not stable enough, even a little careless, but it is suitable for Lin Ji who has become a military commander-Lin Ji is not good at reciting poems and painting, The basics from when I was a child are still there, but with the passage of time in the army, my style of doing things has become rougher.

Zhou Tong's father was a former Minister of the Ministry of War. He and his wife had a son and a daughter. The eldest son was named Zhou Qiang, who was married and had a son.Zhou Qiang and Lin Ji are still colleagues, they are friends who have drank wine and competed in martial arts together.

Zhou's father was injured on the battlefield in his early years. Now that he is old and suffering from a lot of illnesses, he felt a little powerless when he was doing errands, so he resigned altogether and stayed at home to take care of his grandchildren.

The family background of the Zhou family is not bad, but it is still not as good as the Lin family. Although Zhou Qiang has friendship with Lin Ji, he never thought that he would become his brother-in-law, and he never mentioned the family history in front of Lin Ji on weekdays. younger sister.

But Qiu Qingyu just likes the simplicity of Zhou's family. Zhou's father and Zhou mother are loving couples, there is no concubine in the family, and Zhou Tong is the only daughter in the family. Who's thinking, and Zhou's father and Zhou's mother are open-minded, and they teach their children to be broad-minded. They love their daughters, but they don't spoil them unprincipled. Never make mistakes, smart but never pretend to be smart.

After the young couple got married, they really had the same temperament, and they would quarrel occasionally, but their relationship got better and better. Sometimes Lin Ji even liked to deliberately tease Zhou Tong, just like watching her show her teeth and claws.

And when Zhou Tong learned that he could go out with Lin Ji to play in Beijing, he was so happy that he jumped three feet high, hung around Lin Ji's neck and called out that he married the right person, and Lin Ji happily hugged his wife for a few minutes In a circle, there is no one in the room anyway, so they can make as much noise as they like.

As for how much property Lin Ji can get from the Lin family in the future, Zhou Tong is not obsessed. Anyway, with Lin Ji's ability, they will definitely not have a hard time in the future.And with Qiu Qingyu in charge, there will not be a difficult sister-in-law. It is much better to live a comfortable life than to be busy all day calculating this and that.

In the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhou's father was able to retreat as soon as he said it, which showed that he was open-minded and did not care too much about gains and losses. On this point, Zhou Qiang and Zhou Tong, brothers and sisters, followed Zhou's father.
