The Second Young Master of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

"Where do you start with this?" Lin Ruhai was a little puzzled when he heard the words.Generally speaking, unless the emperor chooses a concubine for his sons, ordinary nobles from aristocratic families will not join in the fun.What's so good about entering the palace? Besides, the concubine is also the concubine of the royal family. If she is wronged, her family will not be able to help her out, or she will be implicated, even if she marries the prince and becomes the concubine, and is involved Because of the possibility of getting involved in the turmoil, most of them avoid it, and it is the usual practice to promise their daughters to a well-matched family as the main wife.

Since the death of Jia Daishan, the Jia family has gone downhill due to Jia Amnesty's disappointment and Jia Zheng's mediocre abilities. But Centipede is dead but not stiff. Their family has connections and foundations, as long as they are controlled well. For the first generation, let them study hard, it may not be possible to rise up, why take such a risk.Today's age is not young, the number of concubines in the harem is unknown, and there are many children under her knees. Even after the princes took over the heirloom, there are still several adult princes, all of whom are eyeing the throne.

Sending her daughter to the palace at this time, Lin Ruhai didn't know what to say about her mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Go to the palace, maybe something will happen.

"The palace is going to choose a female history, and my mother intends to let Yuan Chun participate in the election." Jia Min is also speechless. If it is serious to choose a concubine, the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law think that the eldest son will die young and the youngest son is young, so they want their daughter to enter the palace to fight. For a moment, although she disapproved of it, she had nothing to say, but now she is only choosing women's history, so what's the point of going in.It is true that the older the sage is, the more he loves the young concubines. However, these women are all from humble backgrounds, and they only have beauty to rely on. As long as the sage is alive, they will be favored as long as the sage is gone. Woolen cloth.

There is no system of sacrificial burial in this dynasty. If a saint is a great person, a concubine or above, or has children, he will be taken care of by the new emperor and his children.Of course, if Yuan Chun enters the palace, there is another possibility, that is, she is not favored by others, and she will be her female history honestly, and she will be released from the palace when she is 30 years old. But if this is the case, what is she going to do in the palace? You can still have a decent marriage, and when you come out at the age of 30, it is not easy to fill in the house.

The best way Jia Min can think of for Yuanchun is to be favored by a sage and have a son and a half next to him. In this way, even if the sage dies, she can still have something to rely on. As for more, Jia Min doesn't think so. The grown-up princes who can still survive after being seized by the princes are idiots, and they can let a newborn baby boy threaten their status. If they don't involve themselves and their family, they will say Amitabha, thank God.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were whispering something outside, Lin Yu and his brother were playing in the warm pavilion in the inner room, Daiyu was playing the net, Lin Jin was untying the Qiqiao lock, they were all playing with great interest, no one cared what their parents said Only Lin Yu, holding half a piece of peach blossom crisp in his hand, ate it without a bite. In fact, his attention was all outside.He really wanted to tell Jia Min that her worries were unnecessary, Yuan Chun was doing well in the palace, she hooked up with not the current old emperor, but the future new emperor, and she even got the title of Concubine Xiande .

It's a pity that Yuan Chun's favor came and went even faster, and after her death, Jia's family began to go down.In Gao E's sequel, Yuan Chun died of illness, but judging from the foreshadowing in the previous article and Zhi Yanzhai's comments, Lin Yu does not accept this conclusion. He always prefers that Yuan Chun died of political reasons.This point is clearly stated in her verdict and lantern riddles, but it is a pity that Cao Gong's original work is lost, and the subsequent text is unknown.

At first thinking of Yuan Chun's ending, Lin Yu was just a little emotional, and didn't think it had anything to do with him, but he thought again, if Yuan Chun got involved, it would not be a trivial matter, but a crime that ransacked the family and wiped out the clan, and even implicated the nine clans What to do with major events.In the original book, members of the Lin family died early, and even Daiyu went there before the house was raided, so it was hard to say whether she was involved or not. Now it is different, he and Lin Jin are extra, and he does not want to be implicated by the Jia family , I don't want to at all, I must draw a clear line with them.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu took a hard bite of the peach blossom cake in his hand. His current body is still too small, and he can't do anything even though he knows the development of the story. This kind of aggrieved feeling makes Lin Yu feel very Unhappy, I can only vent my depression by eating more.

After reading Jia's mother's letter, even though she knew it might cause her mother's dissatisfaction, Jia Min still followed her own ideas and wrote a reply to take it back.Lin Ruhai didn't comment on this, he just instinctively felt that Jia's family probably wouldn't take Jia Min's reply seriously.

In the letter, Jia Min made it clear what she meant. Yuan Chun's entry into the palace was not worth the loss.As far as adding support to the Jia family, they can choose a good marriage for Yuan Chun. She is the eldest granddaughter of the Duke of the State and was raised by Jia's mother. Where will it go, why bother to enter the palace, the risk is too great and the reward is too small.

After receiving her daughter's reply, Mother Jia sighed quietly. Jia Min was taught by her own hands. Parents have the final say on the future of their children.

In the early years, because she didn't like her eldest son, Jia She, she even disliked her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang. Yes, the Zhongfu in the mansion is naturally presided over by Mrs. Wang.

Now, Jia Lian married Wang Xifeng, Wang's nephew, and Wang's elder brother, Wang Ziteng, has a smooth official career. Wang's words and deeds are more and more confident.Jia Zhu died young, and everyone in the Jia family was deeply distressed. There were several grandchildren of Jia's mother, and he was the most willing to work hard and the most promising. What's more, it's gone.After finishing Jia Zhu's funeral, Wang lost a lot of weight, but turned around and came up with the idea of ​​letting Yuan Chun participate in the selection of women's history.

Mother Jia also disapproved at first, thinking that this road was too difficult, but Jia Zheng was willing, and Wang also said that her brother had connections in the palace, so Mother Jia didn't say much.The sons and grandchildren of the first house are not up to the mark, and the second house's Baoyu is still young. If his sister can earn a future in the palace, it will be good for him.Therefore, Jia's mother put away Jia Min's letter after reading it. She didn't intend to tell Jia Zheng and Wang's at all, and it would be meaningless to say so.

The reason why Jia Min wrote that letter was also with the attitude of obeying the destiny to the best of his ability, and he did not receive a reply after a long time, so he knew that his mother and brother and sister-in-law did not change their original intention.Sure enough, in the selection of women's history in the autumn, Yuan Chun successfully entered the palace and was still serving in the queen's palace.

When Jia Min heard about this, she didn't say much, but her thoughts on her mother's family became weaker and weaker.She could tell that her two elder brothers were far worse than her father, even compared to her cousin who was a monk in the East Mansion, who was a Jinshi.

Since then, Jia Min has devoted more attention to the three children.This can be regarded as a lesson she has learned from her two elder brothers. Even if she has a wealth of ten thousand Guan, she will also go downhill when she meets unworthy children and grandchildren. She must teach the two brothers Lin Jin and Lin Yu well.

At that time, children's enlightenment started from the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Surnames", and "Thousand Character Classic".Jia Min read a sentence, and they learned a sentence. Lin Daiyu's intelligence is unquestionable. Jia Min didn't teach her a few times before she memorized the Three Character Classic.Lin Jin wasn't far behind either. He was a little over a year younger than Daiyu, but his memory was second to none, and he could recite even faster than Lin Yu.Lin Yu was completely beaten by his brother and sister, so he couldn't understand why his level of liberal arts champion in the college entrance examination was not as good as that of the two children.

In fact, this is not Lin Yu's problem, but the way adults and children think differently.Daiyu and Lin Jin memorized the book by rote, regardless of the meaning.Lin Yu couldn't do it. He almost memorized a sentence, thinking about the meaning of a sentence, and couldn't even think about it.Lin Yu used to have the extraordinary memory of Daiyu and Lin Jin. At that time, his mother often hugged him to show off to the workers that her child could memorize all three hundred Tang poems. Unfortunately, in such a period, each person only had one time. without repetition.

Fortunately, although Lin Yu couldn't catch up with Daiyu's progress in the endorsement, he could barely catch up with Lin Jin. Jia Min didn't suspect it, but felt that the three children were very smart.Jia Min enlightened the children, only to endorse, but not to explain the meaning. This work will have to wait for future teachers to do.Because children's ability to receive is limited, it is difficult to change the same thing after remembering it, and if it is accidentally taught wrongly, it is difficult to break it back.

After reciting three hundred thousand, Jia Min began to teach them "The Rhyme of Li Weng" and "Enlightenment of the Rhythm". Some people don't, but it's a shame.

Just when Lin Yu talked with "sky against earth, rain against wind. Continent against sky. Mountain flowers against sea trees, red sun against sky. Thunder faint, foggy. Sundown against sky. Wind high, autumn moon white, rainy evening glow" Red." In the process of dealing with each other, another spring came.

On February [-]th, Lin Daiyu's third birthday, calculated according to the imaginary age, can be said to be four years old.Lin Yu began to become a little nervous, because in the original novel of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu's younger brother died in this year, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
