[Qing wear + Red House] Lin's Royal Concubine

"What did father write?" Lin Daiyu rushed forward, her neck stretched before she even reached it. It can be seen that she was eager to know whether her father could really return to the capital and when.

Never disappointing the two sisters, Lin Ruhai's letter did hint, but before they were happy for a while, they saw a shocking and annoying piece of news.

The old lady proposed to the Lin family to marry Lin Daiyu for Jia Baoyu!

"How could this happen!" Lin Daiyu exclaimed suddenly, losing her usual demeanor, "How could such a good-looking person have such thoughts? Isn't there a good marriage in their house? Why are I involved now? What about my grandmother? Can it be like this?" At the end of the words, he was already crying.

"Don't be in a hurry." Lin Shiyu hurriedly comforted him: "Don't you know our father? How could you betrothed to someone casually? Just look down..."

Of course Lin Ruhai would never agree.

The children are all good for their own family, not to mention the children of other families are really outstanding?The eldest daughter's marriage was extremely reluctant, but the imperial power was greater than the sky, so she had to admit it with her nose and teeth gritted.But the second daughter is not the same, she can completely decide on her own, naturally she has to be very carefully selected, how can she just nod when she comes to propose marriage at random?Even if the mother-in-law proposes marriage herself, it won't work!

What's more, although he has never seen Jia Baoyu's real person with his own eyes, he has heard about it over the years, such as when he was one year old, he caught Rouge, when he was a child, he didn't love women but only pretty girls, and when he was seven or eight years old, he was still working all day long. Tired of twisting twists and turns in the arms of the old lady, pestering girls to eat the rouge on other people's mouths all day... Lin Ruhai is not that stubborn old pedantic old pedant, but such behavior still deeply provokes his bottom line .

Such a slutty young man who is rich and jaded, still wants to marry his precious daughter?Even daydreams dare not do this!

If someone else dared to ask his daughter to marry such a bastard, he would have to turn his back on him, but the one who proposed marriage was his own mother-in-law... He couldn't just turn his back on him, but the depression in his heart was so frustrating, so After thinking about it, he wrote back a letter.

The general meaning is that it is not difficult to marry his daughter. There are only three requirements-one is not to be inferior to his father-in-law in education, and the other is to have He must be devoted to his daughter, and thirdly, he must be able to stand upright, at least he must be able to protect his wife and children.

Seeing this, the two sisters looked at each other in dismay, and couldn't help laughing.

"Father will hurt people more and more."

Lin Ruhai was born in a dignified Tanhualang, so he can't be worse than him. Doesn't that mean that at least he must be able to pass the exam?Who doesn't know that Jia Baoyu regards the Four Books and Five Classics as a scourge?Where does this tell him to take the imperial examination?The second point and the third point are even more detrimental. Jia Baoyu is really a sentimental type with a weak personality and a merciful personality.

This reply letter seemed to be polite and did not reject it outright, but in fact it was satirizing Jia Baoyu inside and out, and even the old face of Jia Mu, who opened her mouth to propose marriage, was a little uncomfortable.

"I'm afraid the old lady will be unhappy after reading such a reply." Lin Daiyu said so, but there was a faint snicker on Lin Daiyu's small face, feeling very satisfied and happy that she was protected by her father.

Can the old lady be happy?That is of course absolutely impossible.

Don't these words clearly despise her Baoyu?

The mandarin duck next to him knew that things might not be going well when he saw his face darken, so he obediently waited on him, not as playful and talkative as usual.

After being silent for a while, the old lady asked someone to invite Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang finally found someone to fill her tooth, but she might as well not have it filled, as she opened her mouth with golden front teeth, which made people's eyes hurt.

Mother Jia suppressed her disgust and said, "The son-in-law has written back, and I'm afraid there will be troubles with this matter."

"What does the old lady mean by this? Could it be that he refused?" Mrs. Wang couldn't believe it, "How could he refuse Baoyu? My Baoyu is not worthy of his daughter!"

Waiting for Mother Jia to say his request, Mrs. Wang's face became even more ugly, she was a little bit annoyed, and she opened her mouth without choosing a word.

"Ask for this, ask for that, can he treat his daughter as a fairy? She looks so delicate and soft that she will collapse when the wind blows, and she looks weak. Whether she can have children in the future is still a problem! Temperament Still so difficult to get along with, putting on a high face all day long, just like her dead ghost mother!"

With the sound of "Bang!", Mrs. Wang immediately covered her forehead and screamed, and when she looked carefully, blood was already dripping from her fingers.

I saw Mother Jia trembling with anger, pointing at her nose and angrily said: "I've turned against you! I really turned against you! Min'er is my biological daughter, and Yu'er is my biological granddaughter... You dare to be so presumptuous in my face, but have you ever put me in your eyes? Looking at your daughter as a concubine, you will be lawless? From this point of view... our Jia family temple is small, I am afraid that it cannot accommodate your statue The Buddha is gone, I'll ask Zheng'er to take you back to your Wang family!" As he said this, he wanted to ask the girl to call Jia Zheng.

"Old lady?" Mrs. Wang was stunned by the glass, and then the old lady slammed her head and face again. She couldn't react at all. Why did she suddenly develop to this point? ?

But these are not the most important things right now, she only knows that Jia Zheng must not be called, if Jia Zheng knows that she dares to be domineering in front of the old lady... Slapping her two big mouths will be light, I am afraid If you really want to send her back to her natal family, how can she lose that face?

Seeing that Yuanyang was about to go out, she didn't care about anything anymore, and hurriedly plopped down on her knees, "Old lady, please calm down! I... I didn't mean it, but I just got angry when I heard my brother-in-law dislike Baoyu... How dare I be lawless? Although my mother is my daughter, she was raised by you, the old lady. In terms of closeness, I appointed you to be closer to you. How dare I not take you seriously..."

"Hmph, did you know you were wrong?"

"I know, I know, I won't dare next time."

Only then did Jia's mother ease her complexion, called Yuanyang back, and said in a deep voice, "For the sake of giving birth to Baoyu and your empress, I have always been a little more tolerant to you, but if you push your nose and face because of this , then don’t blame me for not giving you face. An abandoned mother will indeed affect the reputation of Baoyu and the empress, but... this is not a talisman for your reckless actions. If it really makes me feel cruel, I will clean it up You, I also have many ways, do you understand?"

The coldness in the old lady's cloudy eyes made Mrs. Wang terrified. The fear for many years made her shrink instinctively. How could she dare to have any thoughts?He nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk."

Mrs. Wang retracted her chin now, she no longer held her head high all the time as she did in the past days, she sat down on the chair in an orderly manner, and let the girl clean up the wound on her forehead for her. I forgot to ask, "Since my brother-in-law is unwilling, what should I do next? Give up or..."

"Give up?" Mother Jia shook her head, she didn't make such a plan, she couldn't give up easily no matter what, "Don't worry too much about it, since ancient times courtship is not just done casually, women and men are different after all, It's normal to be reserved. I'll think about this matter carefully, so you don't have to worry about it. I've called you here just to tell you that on weekdays, I'll ask Baoyu to read books for two more hours and avoid entering the inner courtyard. It's just a show, so that the two girls can change their minds..."

Mrs. Wang frowned, and said, "Don't you know Baoyu's temperament? I've been used to it since I was a child, but suddenly it's forcing him to do things he hates. I'm sure I can't bear this grievance." , tell me that if you have this kind of skill, it is better to ask Baoyu to get in touch with that girl a little more, if friendship develops between the two children, the brother-in-law will naturally not be a problem, in this world, parents have always been unable to hold back their children."

"No, I know what your plan is." Jia Mu gave her a cold look, and said, "Such low-level tricks are not used unless it is absolutely necessary. If you really piss off Yu'er, turn around." What should I do if I go to the palace and complain to the emperor? Are you afraid that the emperor will not grant her little wish or do you intend to harm Baoyu?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt a sudden shock and closed her mouth.

She wanted to say that Baoyu was Yuan Chun's younger brother, and now Yuan Chun was favored... But she also felt that if she really said this, she would be ridiculed again, and whoever said that smelly girl is a rare sweet pastry Woolen cloth?

"Okay, let's not think about crooked ways, let's spend some time trying to coax Baoyu. As a man, he should show some sincerity in such matters as a marriage proposal."

One sentence was the final decision. Even though Mrs. Wang felt that this task was very tricky, she had no choice but to accept it honestly. The old lady's sudden attack just now frightened her. Still popping.

However, after returning to the room and sitting calmly for a long time, she suddenly realized that the old lady was angry because of her unrestrained speech?Obviously, he just took an opportunity to hit her!Presumably the arrogance these days made the old thing dissatisfied, so he seized this opportunity to set a strict rule for her.

It's a shame that she has become a grandmother, and she is forced by her mother-in-law to make rules!

Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling resentful and aggrieved, but she really didn't dare to ask her to do something to resist. If she really annoyed that old man, she didn't know if she would "die of illness" one day without a sound. "Woolen cloth!

Mrs. Wang was bluffed and stopped for a while, and even Tanchun and Jiahuan benefited from it. Finally, she no longer had to be pressed to copy scriptures every day, but after all, her bones were not fully developed at such a young age. If it grows well, it will inevitably be damaged after this encounter, and it still needs to be recuperated for a while.

The two sisters of the Lin family thought that the old lady and Mrs. Wang would have some thoughts when they received the reply, but who would have thought that everything would be peaceful, not only the old lady treated them with the same care and love as always, even Mrs. Wang would be very worried when she saw them. They all had kind smiles on their faces, laughing so creepily.

But no matter what, it would be great to be able to maintain such a superficial calm and kindness right now. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I can just quietly wait for my father to return to Beijing and be at ease.

Looking at the whole mansion, Jia Baoyu is probably the only one who is not having a good time.

In the past, when Jia Zheng wanted to pressure him to study, the old lady and Mrs. Wang would always be "loving mothers and losers", and they would stop and persuade him desperately, but now Jia Zheng has given up and no longer cares about it. It's positive.

He didn't do anything every day, just stared at Jia Baoyu with both eyes. If Jia Baoyu went to greet her in the morning, he wouldn't even think about getting away. He was locked up in the study for a long time, waiting. After finally surviving lunch, he no longer has to be forced to read the Four Books and Five Classics. If he wants to go to the inner courtyard to meet the sisters or maids to have fun, the Zhou Rui’s family will always sneak out and stop him, and let him talk whatever he wants. There is only one sentence - tell you if you don't listen to me.

Just two days after such a day, Jia Baoyu had reached the limit of his patience, and a half-year-old boy who had already passed the human affairs was crying and slipped into the arms of the old lady, acting like a coquettish idiot, no three-year-old girl could compare His tenderness.

It's so hard to die, Lin Shiyu and Lin Daiyu happened to be "fortunate" to see this scene, and immediately the two sisters shook off goose bumps all over the ground, and their toothache was throbbing.

However, Mother Jia was very useful, she just hugged his darling and yelled, and was almost softened by him, but when she caught a glimpse of the Lin sisters sitting next to her from the corner of her eye, she strengthened herself again shaken heart.

So, with a long sigh, he said: "Your mother is right, you are not young now, and you can no longer play around like you were when you were young... Even if you have a family background like ours, you don't need to take the imperial examination It’s hard, but it’s always right to read more books, and it’s really not good to hang around in the inner courtyard all day long. It’s not good to get a bad reputation, and your father doesn’t like it. If you are in a hurry, he should beat you again. .”

Jia Baoyu was like a little overlord in Jia's family, but he was afraid of his father like a tiger. No one was in front of his eyes. Just hearing the word "father" made him tremble all over, and he dared not What more to say, just lowered my head and silently wiped away my tears, not to mention how pitiful it is.

On the other hand, Lin Shiyu, seeing Jia's mother's attitude, couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart. Could it be that he was provoked by his father's reply and made up his mind to discipline Jia Baoyu?All these years, he had been allowed to let him go, but now he suddenly changed his mind, and all he could think of was the reply letter that had just been sent.

But the old lady has enough eyes. Knowing what Jia Baoyu hates the most, she doesn't show her head and pushes it all to Mrs. Wang. In this way, she can not only achieve her goal, but also attract people Jia Baoyu's rebellious heart made him feel suspicious of Mrs. Wang.

Kill two birds with one stone, full of heart and soul.

Even with the last backer gone, Jia Baoyu could no longer escape, and had to be carried out by Mrs. Wang every day and his father threatened to discipline him. His life was really miserable.

But most likely, even God is annoyed by his crying, and not many days have passed, and Mrs. Wang has no time to take care of him anymore.

Because of the benevolence of the current emperor, he specially decreed to allow concubines who are above the rank of concubines in the palace and have other courtyards to go home to visit their relatives.

But today, there are only two concubines and above in the palace, and one of them is Jia Yuanchun who happens to be stuck in the concubine's seat.

Hearing such a decree suddenly, the whole family of the Jia family was excited, it can be said that they were ecstatic.

This is the first time in this dynasty for so many years that a concubine who has already entered the palace is allowed to go home to visit her relatives. This is a great grace and glory!Especially when I heard that Concubine Niu was unwell and often lingered on the sick bed, so I could only regret it, everyone in the Jia family was even more happy to see their teeth but not their eyes, so Jia Yuanchun became the only one!It is the No.1 in the history of the Qing Dynasty!

This is definitely going to leave a mark in the history books, and their Jia family, as the mother's family, will naturally increase their status and reputation accordingly. Take a glimpse of today's infinite scenery.

"Ancestors bless... Really, ancestors bless..." Mother Jia wiped her tears with trembling hands, showing that she was so excited that she couldn't help herself, causing the girls around her to cry with joy and give her comfort again and again, just for fear of the old lady I passed away excitedly at my age.

Mrs. Wang didn't give up too much, her eyes were red from crying but she couldn't hide her arrogance and pride. Yes, such a big birthday is born to be a noble person's life, now it can be seen that I was not wrong."

There are so many people born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, is it possible that all of them are dragons and phoenixes?Obviously not, it's just that at this moment, there is no heartless person who comes to find out that it's not a pleasure. Those people who are born with a pair of snobs just want to surround the old lady and Mrs. Wang and boast about their flowers.

After waiting for everyone's excitement to gradually calm down, they suddenly thought of a fatal event, "The emperor said that there is a need for a family hospital, and our family doesn't have one. What should we do?"

Hearing Youshi's words, everyone also felt worried. It's not that there are no other houses in the capital, but it's been a few years, and the regulations are definitely not enough to welcome the mother-in-law.

Mrs. Wang waved her hands disapprovingly, and said: "What is there to worry about? If not, then just build a new family home. As long as the money is enough, the project will not be delayed."

Upon hearing this, Jia She immediately jumped up, "It's refreshing to touch your mouth up and down, what about the money? Can't you take out the money? Let me tell you, don't even think about taking out the money in the mansion. If you want to build another courtyard, you guys Erfang took out his private house to build it!"

Mrs. Wang frowned and said: "It's the honor of our Jia family to visit relatives. Is your eldest house not in the light or what? If you are in the light, it's only natural to give some money, right?"

"That makes sense." Mother Jia directly interrupted what Jia She was about to blurt out, and gave him a warning look full of threats, then glanced at Jia Zhenyou and the others, and said: "What Wang said In other words, I can't write two Jia characters in one stroke. We are all flesh and blood with broken bones and tendons. The whole family gathers in one place and works hard in one place to make this matter perfect early. Wouldn't it be great if it's done? When the empress comes home and knows everyone's contributions, can she turn a blind eye?"

The meaning of this is actually very obvious, just want to ask the Ningguo Mansion next door to also pay some money.

Jia Zhen has nothing to say, he is now the patriarch of the Jia family, what is it to pay a little gold and silver for the glory of the Jia family?As long as this matter can be done perfectly, he, the patriarch, might be able to show his face in front of the Holy One, so that the old man can take a closer look, his son is still somewhat capable.

Ever since, Jia Zhen readily agreed on the spot, promising to send someone to deliver the money later.

Both Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were very satisfied with his performance, but Jia She on the other end was still unwilling to say anything, but in the end he was defeated by the old lady's stern eyes.

It is a huge project to build a provincial family home with enough regulations to not lose the face of the royal family. It is not only time-consuming, but also expensive. Mrs. Wang also wants to make her daughter look as good as possible, so as to please the Holy One , so there is no place without luxury.

As big as the layout design of another courtyard, even as small as any decoration in the house, a flower or a clump of grass in the yard...Everything, big or small, needs to be checked again and again, and there is never a place when you come and go It was she who was able to nod directly and was satisfied. Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and his wife, who were forcibly arrested by the old lady, almost broke their legs without being tossed by her in just a few days.

Today, there was another dispute over the decoration of the house. Wang Xifeng, who couldn't bear it anymore, dropped the burden on the spot and said: "I don't know what is good? As long as you have enough money, you don't need to worry about it like this." , I’m sure everything will be arranged properly for you, but you gave us ten taels of silver, but you insisted on asking us to buy things for three to fifty taels of silver, so where are we going? Are you trying to embarrass us? !"

Mrs. Wang's face darkened, "You are becoming more and more angry now."

"My second wife! My good aunt! Just let us go, even if you sell us both, you won't be able to buy what you want!"

"That's all right, all right, you don't have to throw face at me anymore, just tell me how much worse it is?"

Wang Xifeng thought about it silently, and replied: "If everything is done according to your request, the money that is going to be paid out now is only a small change."

Mrs. Wang was shocked, "It's such a big difference?" Where can she ask her to raise money?It is not enough to sell all the private houses she has secretly saved all these years, not to mention that all her things are left to Baoyu, how can they be used?

Mrs. Wang fell into deep thought, she didn't even know when Wang Xifeng left, she was only thinking about money.

Since my family couldn't get any extra, I could only get it from other relatives... It just so happened that there were two relatives living in the house.

The Xue family is an imperial merchant, and the family is a millionaire, so they should be able to make a lot of money.

There is also the Lin family, the ancestors of the Lin family were five generations of princes, and Lin Ruhai was the censor of salt inspection. After sitting in such a rich seat for so many years, it is estimated that the family is already a mountain of gold and silver. It is not too much to ask for it, right?

Mrs. Wang was very confident, and immediately got up and went out.
