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

After following the Seventh Prince to the Mountain Resort for three months, Lin Jin and Lin Yu returned to the Jia Mansion, and it was obvious that everyone looked at them differently.In the past, they were just young cousins ​​living in Jia's mansion with their sister, Lin Ruhai was still here, and Daiyu was the granddaughter of Jia's mother. No matter how snobbish the servants of Jia's family were, they were polite to her and never dared to neglect her.Lin Jin and Lin Yu are different. Although it is recorded under Jia Min's name, it is not her own. Jia's mother's attitude is much calmer. Mrs. Wang and Jia Min have always had a rift, and her niece follows the old lady. She wants to There is no chance to show face to others. The nephew who has no blood relationship lives in the outer courtyard. She doesn't say that she treats them harshly, and it is not difficult to cause them a little trouble.

The attitude of the old lady and the headed wife is like this, those servants of the Jia family who are used to adapting to the wind, how can they not understand.It's just that Lin Jin and Lin Yu are not small-tempered people, and they won't make things difficult for themselves. Besides, no matter how Mrs. Wang dislikes them, she won't treat them badly in terms of basic necessities of life. They won't let go of the servant's words In my heart, it's still borrowing anyway, as long as we live in peace with each other, if you really want to invite people to do things, just give some money. From the perspective of the Lin family brothers who are not short of money, it is not a problem that can be solved with money.

But who would have thought that the two masters of the Lin family would have such good fortune that the Seventh Prince would take them to live with them in the summer resort, not to mention the high regard.You know, since the old man left, no one in the master of Ningrong Second House has such a qualification.Lin Jin and Lin Yu are still young and haven't formally entered school yet. What the seventh prince can value about them must be for the face of Mrs. Lin.The brothers of the Lin family went to the Mountain Resort, and they had no chance to curry favor, but Daiyu could clearly feel that the maids around her respected her more than before.

The Summer Resort is not isolated from the outside world. The books received by the six departments have to be sorted out and submitted to the past every day, and those reviewed by the sages have to be sent back for execution, so there are fast horses going back and forth every day.While delivering papers back and forth, these guards of the forbidden army also served as messengers. After all, the courtiers who followed the saint to the summer resort brought only a small number of family members. There is no big family in any family. After three months of walking, there are some family letters It's normal.Lin Jin and Lin Yu followed the seventh prince and were close to the water, so they wrote letters to Daiyu to report the situation from time to time.

Of course, the two brothers adhered to the principle of reporting the good and not the bad, and only talked about how fun it was at the Summer Resort, and how Liu Yuan talked about Daiyu, but they didn't mention the troubles they encountered.Even so, Daiyu misses her two younger brothers more and more day by day.

Ever since Lin Jin and Lin Yu were born, they hadn't been separated for such a long time, and Liu Yuan and several girls whom Daiyu knew had all gone to the Summer Resort. In the past three months, she hadn't even had a chance to go out of the house. No, this made Daiyu, who was used to going out with Jia Min when she was in the south of the Yangtze River, very uncomfortable.In addition, she still has some thoughts that are difficult to express, that is, the girls she met after coming to Beijing, several of them have posted with her, and she also went to their house to make an appointment, but she stayed at her grandmother's house , but there is no way to invite them back.

This made Daiyu hope more than once that Lin Ruhai could return to Beijing as soon as possible so that she could move back to her own home.I heard from Jin'er and Yu'er that the West Road courtyard of the Lin family's old house has almost been renovated, and the big garden behind has also been re-decorated. It would be perfect to host a banquet there.Unlike in Jia's house now, no matter how much my grandmother loves me, she is not as comfortable as at home. How can she invite people to come and play.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Jin and Lin Yu finally returned to Jia's mansion. Daiyu was overjoyed, and a younger brother gave a newly made sachet.

Lin Daiyu is good at needlework, but she doesn't like to do it. After a year and a half, she can make a purse and sachet, which is considered diligent, and it is similar to Cao Gong's original book.They had been in Jia's mansion for more than a year, and Lin Yu knew that she had embroidered a forehead for Jia's mother, but she never took any needles and threads.This time they went out for three months, and she actually made two sachets, which was an unprecedented effort, which showed that she missed her brother so much.

The Jia family had a prosperous offspring, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was extremely lively, but when the Lin family siblings thought of their father who was single far away in the south of the Yangtze River, it was inevitable that they would feel a little sad, and their feelings for the festival would be a little less.But the sage said that there is no suitable candidate to take over the position of Xunyan Yushi for the time being.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, a relative of the Jia family came to the door. It was Du Shi, wife of Wang Ziteng.Mrs. Du is both Mrs. Wang's sister-in-law and Wang Xifeng's aunt. She is related to both houses of the Jia family. Being a guest at home has aroused the great attention of the Jia family.Sanchun and Daiyu all came out to meet the guests, not to mention Jia Baoyu, Jia Lan, Lin Jin, and Lin Yu. Mrs. Du came prepared, and each child gave a generous gift before slowly Talk about homework.

The prince vacated the throne and had high authority, so Mrs. Du was naturally qualified to enter the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The topic turned to this matter somehow.

According to Mrs. Du, Empress Liu said before that she wanted to choose a concubine for the Seventh Prince, so that court officials and nobles could choose their own daughters, as long as they were over 12 years old or under, no matter whether they were concubines or concubines. qualified.Mrs. Du sighed as she spoke, if it wasn't for the title of restraining his wife, the Seventh Prince's de facto status as the eldest son, how could his concubine's conditions be so lenient, it must have been calculated by Qin Tianjian again, It must be a woman with a certain horoscope. Fortunately, their Wang family does not have a girl of the right age, so they will not join in directly.

It is true that it is a good thing to have the opportunity to be a future empress, but you have to be destined to be one. I will not talk about the few who were killed at the beginning. Everyone knows the fate of the former seventh prince and concubine. It is still an eminent monk The horoscope was calculated, but in the end, the mother and child disappeared together.

Jingui, the daughter of the aristocratic family, especially the daughter-in-law, was raised carefully from an early age in order to marry into a similar family in the future. The risk factor of the seventh prince and concubine is too high, and their families generally do not want to take this risk, otherwise the former The seventh concubine of the seventh prince would never have chosen the daughter of the Bapin county magistrate.Even if the original spouse is like this, Mrs. Du dare not even think about filling in the house, but the world is unpredictable, and the concubine daughter is reluctant, maybe someone will let the concubine daughter go, and if she becomes a relative of the Tian family, she will not, but she is just a concubine daughter , nothing.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intentions. Mrs. Du just said casually, but Mrs. Xing showed a little excited expression on her face. According to the conditions offered by Empress Liu, they are also qualified to welcome the Spring Festival. Does she want to go back and talk to her? The master said, let him sign up quickly.

Mrs. Xing came from a mediocre background and her personality was not very strong. She couldn't hide what was on her mind. Both Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Du noticed the changes in her expression.Mrs. Du is well-mannered, although she despises her mother-in-law's short-sightedness in her heart, she doesn't show it at all on the surface, but Mrs. Wang is more complicated.In the early years, when the seventh prince married the concubine for the first time, he also asked the officials to report the list of daughters. Although Mrs. Wang wanted to send her daughter to the palace, she held back when she thought of the seventh prince's tough past. Send your daughter into the fire pit.

Later, the seventh concubine gave birth to the grandson of the emperor, but Yuan Chun was suffering as a female history in the palace. Mrs. Wang did not regret it, until the grandson of the emperor died unexpectedly, and the concubine of the seventh prince also threw herself into the lake, so she was grateful.A concubine is just a concubine, and she can still work hard, but if her life is gone, even if she is as mournful as the natal family of the former seventh prince concubine, she can't bear it.But she didn't expect that Mrs. Xing would have such an idea, and then she thought again, if Yuan Chun hadn't followed the Ninth Prince, and if Tan Chun was old enough, she would probably give it a try.

Mrs. Xing's natal family is not strong, and she herself is not favored, and she has no children, so her position in Jia's family is precarious.But no matter what, she is Yingchun's aunt. If Yingchun is really lucky to be selected, she will rise with the tide, and even if she is not selected, she will not lose.

Mother Jia was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Xing's gaffe, and gave her a hard look. Either she was born or she was different, and she even thought of trading her daughter's life for her future.When Yuan Chun entered the palace, she didn't object. It was because Yuan Chun had a firm heart and would definitely be able to survive in the palace. With such a dull temperament, it's a good thing not to be selected. If she is lucky enough to be selected, she may not know how she died. It doesn't matter if she dies, otherwise it will implicate the entire Jia family.

The guests were still here, so Mother Jia didn't have much to say. Mrs. Xing was threatened by her mother-in-law with a knife, so she calmed down.Later, when she returned to her yard, Mrs. Xing became more and more breathless as she thought about it. She was clearly the eldest daughter-in-law, but the housekeeper couldn't even touch the power, and she followed the master to live behind the barn.Mrs. Xing knew that Jia Amnesty did not live up to expectations. Otherwise, with Jia's family status, even if she married and filled the house, it would not be her turn.

But it's just that she didn't have a chance before. This time, the Seventh Prince can apply for Yingchun to choose the concubine. No matter whether she can be selected or not, she has to convince the master.As long as Yingchun is selected, their eldest brother will be able to turn around, even if they are not selected, they will not be worse than now.

Jia She's thinking is similar to Mrs. Xing's. Jia Zheng's concubine is just the concubine of the ninth prince. If his concubine is elected, she will be the concubine of the seventh prince. Anyone with eyes can see the difference figure it out.As for the legend of the Seventh Prince's feudal wives, and whether Yingchun had the ability to survive in the palace, Jia She, like Mrs. Xing, had never thought about it at all.

Knowing that Jia Amnesty had signed up for her granddaughter without telling her, Jia's mother was furious, but it was a done deal and there was no room for redemption. Fortunately, there were many people who had the same idea as Jia Amnesty this time, so the candidates' fathers and brothers were generally not suitable for official positions. Low, it's just that they are all concubines. Yingchun is not outstanding among the crowd, and may not be picked by the queen. After all, the seventh prince and concubine in front is not bad in appearance and ability except for her lack of background.

Yingchun has always been cowardly, she just shed tears when she heard about it, but she didn't dare to say anything, instead Lin Yu and Jia Baoyu were deeply worried about her.

This unlucky girl, no matter what life she is in, she will be sold by her own father.Although Tu Feng's character is definitely better than Sun Shaozu's, if Yingchun is elected, she definitely doesn't have to worry about being tortured to death, but with a snake spirit like Tu Hua, it's hard to say whether she will die unexpectedly.

"Cousin, is everything we do useless?" Jia Baoyu didn't know if he was asking Lin Yu, or asking himself.

"Don't curse me, my brother and I are living a good life." Lin Yu refuses to believe in evil, even if Jia Min is still dead, even if Yingchun is still sold by her father, Tu Feng has already realized the threat of Tu Hua Sex, as long as he can take the position smoothly, things will still turn around.

Besides, the first round of primary elections hasn't started yet. If Yingchun's horoscope is wrong and they are directly rejected, wouldn't they be worried in vain.

Jia Baoyu nodded and didn't say anything more. Fortunately, Lin Jin and Lin Yu were fine, which gave him reason to believe that sister Lin would be fine too.Although it was the choice of the Seventh Prince and Concubine, the decision was in the hands of the sage and the empress. It didn't matter if Tu Feng said it himself, and Lin Yu didn't even think about going to him.
