Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

As soon as the Qionglin Banquet was held, the Holy King Jinkou had just granted marriage to Lin Xuan and Huang Shang, and the imperial decree was officially issued on the second day, and the father-in-law who came to read the imperial decree was sent away. Unlike Lin Ruhai and Lin Xuan, The servants of the Lin Mansion were all beaming.

This is not surprising, these servants don't know the meaning behind Princess Fuya, in their view, what a noble status the Princess is, to be able to marry into their Lin family, they are naturally overjoyed and overjoyed won.

Everyone was busy congratulating the masters of the Lin family. Although Shen Shuang looked happy on the surface, there was some murmuring in his heart.Since ancient times, the princesses of the royal family have been honorable, but their tempers are all bearable, which can be seen from Zhao Cheng's mother.

Although one is a princess and the other is a princess, their identities are still a bit different, but the reason is the same, royal women are not so easy to marry.

Since Shen Shuang got married, she has never had a man and a half woman. She also understands that if she hasn't had one for so many years, she may be dead in the future.

Without her own child, Shen Shuang can only regard Lin Xuan as her future reliance. She is also clear in her heart. As long as she has no conflict with Lin Xuan, then for her own reputation and future, Lin Xuan will absolutely I won't treat him badly.

Therefore, Shen Shuang has always been very concerned about Lin Xuan's marriage. After all, if there are no accidents in the future, she will live with Lin Xuan. If Lin Xuan marries a wife with a bad personality, she will suffer. It's not just Lin Xuan.

But she never expected that she wanted to choose a gentle and virtuous person out of thousands of choices, but a princess came over with a thunderbolt on a sunny day.This made Shen Shuang regret enough, it was not easy to settle it early, at least she could say a few words even if those girls had bad personalities.

But the Princess is different, no matter how bad her character is, her identity is still there, can she say that, I am afraid that even if the Princess has a bad temper in the future, she can only bear it.

In addition, Shen Shuang still has another worry in her heart, that is, she is not Lin Xuan's biological mother, but just a stepmother, and when she married in, Lin Xuan could already remember things, and there was no deep relationship between the two of them. emotion.Under such circumstances, it is easy for the daughter-in-law to ignore her when she enters the door, let alone a noble princess now.

I was just worried in my heart, there was no way to say these things, and Shen Shuang could only secretly ask the Bodhisattva to bless her, that Princess Fuya was not as savage and domineering as her aunt.

As for Lin Daiyu and Lin Junyao, they were simply happy for Lin Xuan again. It was indeed something to be happy about when they were in high school and married a distinguished princess.

The capital city has always been a place where dragons and snakes are mixed and well-informed. The news that Huang Shang and Lin Xuan were married soon spread throughout the city.In the eyes of ordinary people, it is natural that Huang Shang, who is going to marry the princess, is worth discussing, but in the eyes of some caring people, Lin Xuan's going to marry the second prince's daughter, Princess Fuya, is more worthy of attention.

But no matter what other people are thinking, life must be lived day by day. Lin Xuan quickly let go of his worries and started normal social activities.

Regardless of whether Huang Shang and Lin Xuan are satisfied with their marriage, this is one of the four great joys in life. Zhao Cheng, who considers himself a confidant and good friend, generously set up a few tables in Zuixian Tower and invited a few Zhong Tongnian and his bosom friends said that they wanted to celebrate the two of them.

Although they didn't like this marriage from the bottom of their hearts, the two of them still couldn't avoid this kind of disguised social occasion. If they wanted to make a name for themselves in the officialdom, they would not be able to do it if they were too lonely or self-willed.

The people invited by Zhao Cheng to accompany them are said to be top-ranked people in the first and second grades. This is also normal. Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups, right? People with excellent grades naturally want to be with people with excellent grades up.

Everyone had already greeted each other more or less at the Qionglin Banquet, and they got together a few times afterwards, and they were pretty familiar with each other. In the future, they will be officials in the same dynasty, so maybe they will support each other and advance and retreat together. Now that these people gather together, it is naturally lively.

When men have a banquet together, drinking is essential. After a while, after three drinks and five dishes, everyone relaxes except for some things that need to be avoided.

Some people even proposed to find some girls on the flower boat.The literati's romance has been like this since ancient times, and in the Great Zhou Dynasty, such things were never stopped.Except for Huang Chang and Lin Xuan who had just been given marriages and needed to be more cautious, everyone applauded and agreed in unison.

Huang Chang and Lin Xuan looked at each other helplessly. They had just been given a marriage. If they came out to have a banquet now, they really called a few girls over. Do you think about it if it spreads out? Stopped, but before he could speak, he heard a stern voice from the side.

"A dignified student of the Son of Heaven, a Jinshi of the new department, will soon be an official in the court, but he is so ignorant of the rules. He eats, drinks and plays here before the appointment is issued. He really doesn't know what to do."

Everyone was taken aback by the voice, and looked in the direction the voice came from, only to see a majestic middle-aged man looking at everyone with an angry face.

The scene became strangely quiet, and everyone looked at the middle-aged man together, each with their own thoughts.If you want to say what this person said, it is really unreasonable. After the palace examination, there are mutual exchanges and banquets in the same year, that is nothing more than a normal thing.It's just that there are so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it's hard for everyone to refute before they figure out the identity of the other party. If it's someone who can't afford to offend, it will be troublesome.

At this moment, Zhao Cheng suddenly let out a low cry, as if he recognized who the person in front of him was, he glanced at Lin Xuan with a strange expression, hesitated for a moment, and reminded in a low voice: "Xunzhi, that person is Mr. Xu Shen Xu just returned to Beijing to report on his duties some time ago, and now he is serving as the censor of Zuodu, and he is also an official of the second prince's line."

After a pause, he organized his thoughts, and Zhao Cheng continued: "Princess Fuya's biological mother is Xu Shen's younger sister, which means that Mr. Xu is the uncle of Princess Fuya. I'm afraid he is doing something wrong to you now." Dissatisfied."

Zhao Cheng's words were not wrong, Master Xu Shenxu was really dissatisfied with Lin Xuan.Before he served as Zuodu Censor, he was an acquaintance in Jiangnan. He was not very familiar with Lin Xuan, but he had heard of it.At that time, Xu Shen still held an admiring attitude towards Lin Xuan. He even laughed off some of Lin Xuan's flirtatious past, and sometimes even praised Lin Xuan's flirtatious or something.

But at that time, it was different now, how much he admired Lin Xuan's talent and demeanor, now he loathes Lin Xuan's flirtatiousness.

If it's just that, it's fine, but just now he even heard that the people at Lin Xuan's table wanted to find some girls over, so he immediately exploded.His niece had just been given to Lin Xuan as his wife. It hadn't been long before, how could Xu Shen, an uncle, not be angry if he dared to look for a girl so openly.

After hearing Zhao Cheng's words, Lin Xuan immediately understood why the middle-aged man was looking for trouble.But when he thought about it clearly, Lin Xuan was depressed for a moment. This was a disaster for him, although he liked to play a little bit when he was in Jiangnan.But since he came to the capital, he has restrained himself a lot. Moreover, the most important thing is that the proposal just now was not made by him, and he even planned to stop it.

It's just that it's not easy to explain this to the other party at this time. After all, this kind of thinking is their own private guess, and it may not be true. What's more, even if he explains it, the other party may not believe it.

If you want to say what is the best way to deal with this situation, it is naturally to change the subject.It would definitely not work to fight against the other party, not to mention that the other party's official position is not low, just because he is one of the uncles of Princess Fuya, so it is not easy to offend him.

Lin Xuan got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "So it's Mr. Xu. The junior Lin Xuan has met Mr. Xu."

People in the world say that you don't reach out to hit people with smiling faces. This sentence is undoubtedly reasonable. Lin Xuan's posture is so low, even if Xu Shen looks at them with a straight face and an angry face, it is not easy to continue. Put on a face.

Glancing at Lin Xuan, he said indifferently: "Mr. Lin, you don't need to be polite, I can't bear it."

After a pause, he said meaningfully: "This old man still wants to congratulate Mr. Lin. Princess Fuya is smart, beautiful, gentle and courteous. Mr. Lin should know how to cherish the marriage he received from His Majesty himself."

Although the words were cryptic, most of the people present couldn't understand them, so they couldn't help but look at Lin Xuan quietly.

Lin Xuan doesn't know how he feels now. What does it mean to know how to cherish everything? Has he done anything? Even if you are the uncle of Princess Fuya and an important minister in the court, you can't be so wronged. See Look, what did this take him for.

Roaring dissatisfaction madly in his heart, Lin Xuan smiled more gently and amiably on the surface, as if he didn't understand the accusation in Xu Shen's words at all, and his attitude should be respectful.

Lin Xuan's attitude was respectful, but how could a person like Xu Shen, who had been in the officialdom all year round and matured into a man, fail to notice that Lin Xuan actually didn't listen to what he said at all.

For this, Xu Shen was naturally dissatisfied to the extreme, but he couldn't say anything. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Lin Xuan's attitude was already very low.In the end, Xu Shen could only snort coldly, and walked away.

Helplessly looking at Xu Shen's leaving figure angrily, Lin Xuan had no choice. He was always a proud person, how could he endure the accusations and scolding of this person for such a long time.

After seeing Xu Shen walking away, Zhao Cheng looked at Lin Xuan helplessly, and condemned jokingly: "Xun Zhi, tell me how you want to compensate us, if it wasn't for you, we would have suffered for nothing Scolding, then Xu Shen is not a character to be provoked."

Lin Xuan immediately gave Zhao Cheng a blank look when he heard the words: "Okay, okay, do you think I am willing, who would have thought that such a thing would happen."

Huang Chang, who was next to him, turned the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Xunzhi, don't be depressed anymore. If it's true, you shouldn't blame others. The relationship between Xu Shen and her sister is very good. , and even attaches great importance to this niece. Now that my sister is gone, and only such a daughter is left, and she wants to marry such a playful prodigal son like you, it would be unhappy for anyone else, don't you think?"

Lin Xuan glared at Huang Chang fiercely when he heard the words. This guy who gloated at other people's misfortunes was still talking sarcasticly. He really didn't know what sympathy and morality were.At this time, Lin Xuan had apparently selectively forgotten how he gloated when he knew that Huang Shang was going to marry the princess.

Lin Xuan nestled on the chair depressed, and sighed heavily. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the reputation of being romantic, and sometimes he was quite proud of it. Now when the consequences came out, he was a little dumbfounded up.
