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

The happy days seem to have become tormented overnight.

Ever since they got the news that their father had left, the two sisters had been looking forward to it day and night, and they really realized what it means to live like a year.

During this period, as expected, the old lady came in person.

Lin Shiyu originally wanted to take her younger sister to avoid it. After all, the old lady is not someone else. She is the first-line grandmother and a serious elder. It is different from Mrs. Wang's second aunt. It was forced, otherwise, would the two little girls have a bad reputation of being "unfilial" in the future?

But who would have thought that the old lady couldn't even get in the door, she was blocked by the guards directly, and she only asked one sentence - the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to come and disturb Miss Lin at will.

But it was clear that Wang Xifeng had come before.

What else does Mother Jia not know?It is clear that the emperor has been paying attention to this end, knowing the embarrassment of the Lin sisters, so he simply helped them out with a word.

Obviously, there is no need to deliberately find an excuse, because he is the emperor, such a small person, such a trivial matter, deserves to make him bother to find an excuse to carefully cover up this face?

Mother Jia's complexion was extremely ugly, her hands trembled, and for the first time, she couldn't help but have doubts, did Empress Jia really be favored?

Jia Mu pursed her thin lips tightly, her old face full of wrinkles and ravines was gloomy, and she looked a little more terrifying for no reason. However, she sat silent for a long time in the carriage, but finally she let out a long sigh and called out. The carriage is on its way home.

Baoyu is her heart and soul, and she is willing to risk her old life for him, but she can't take the risk of dragging the whole family down to openly disobey the orders of the Holy Majesty... The empress is probably not what they imagined To be favored, if something goes wrong and the Holy One is furious, the empress is afraid that she will be powerless.

Baoyu...

"Forget it, send someone to invite Miss Yun to stay for a while, and Miss Bao's place. Let's go try it myself." Now Jia's mother can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I understand, maybe there is a little difference with Yu'er, but the other sisters are also in his heart, as long as he can accompany him to comfort him, maybe it will be effective.

The old lady, who is somewhat shrewd when encountering things on weekdays, seems to have never thought of what kind of harm it will bring to the girls at this moment. Jin Zunyugui's daughter is playing around like a toy, she is really selfish.

However, the Xue family is still angry, and Xue Baochai is also a smart person, so naturally he will not make the old lady get what she wants, and in the end only Shi Xiangyun went there in a muddleheaded manner.

After this, the old lady never came to make things difficult for others, but most of the time she still wanted to repair the relationship, so she often asked Wang Xifeng to bring the Sanchun sisters to play. Naturally, the Lin family sisters are very welcome, after all, the sisters are also A transparent person, he will not talk about annoying people and things when he comes, and he is relaxed and happy when he gets along.

It is also because more sisters often come to accompany, this bustle makes it seem that the waiting days are not so long and tormented. Unknowingly, Lin Ruhai also arrived in the capital after following the Zhen family.

After a few months, the father, daughter, siblings and the others saw each other again, and their eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Sister!" Lin Jinyu jumped forward in excitement, wishing she could hug the two sisters together with her extra hands, her frizzy appearance was completely devoid of usual manners, but at this moment, there was no one to teach her That's all.

The three of them are extremely close, this is the first time they have parted, and it has been such a long time, no wonder he can't bear to show the heart of a child again.

Lin Shiyu looked him up and down carefully, and couldn't help sighing: "Jin'er is running so fast, she should catch up with me in two years." She is immature, white and tender with a little baby fat, but her facial features are extraordinarily delicate, in her opinion, it is even better than the Jia family's phoenix egg, without that coquettish and cowardly powdery look, But much more pleasing to the eye.

Holding the younger brother in his hand, he looked up at his father again.

The figure is still thinner and thinner, but the back is tall and straight, which shows that the spirit is still very good, just standing there reveals a temperament like orchid and bamboo... There is a smile on the corner of the mouth, warm and dignified, and the corners of the eyes Even the small lines failed to damage his appearance, on the contrary, they added to the charm of a mature man.

Lin Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Although there are often letters to report that he is safe, but not being able to see it with his own eyes is always worrying. Now that I know that my father is really well, I can finally sleep peacefully."

Why doesn't Lin Ruhai miss his two precious daughters?I wish I could fly here with wings, after all, being a man is much more restrained. At this moment, my heart is already extremely happy and excited, but I still don't forget to take on the identity of "father", restraining myself for fear of falling. Public gaffe.

"Father and Jin'er have been busy all the way, let's wash and rest first, the hot water has already been prepared." Lin Daiyu couldn't help wiping her tears, but her brows and eyes were stretched and her expression was light.

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Alright."

Xiao Xizi immediately led the father and son to go to the courtyard to freshen up, and a group of other eunuchs went to help the following servants of the Lin family to carry their luggage in and out.

This time Lin Ruhai was transferred back to Beijing, and he will retire in the capital in [-] to [-] days, so it can be said that he moved his whole family. He probably brought everything he could bring with him except for the heavy furniture, and he just packed enough books. There are enough suitcases for the whole family, plus other Lao Dier's belongings, the luggage can't be seen at a glance.

Lin Shiyu was instructing the maids of the guards to help her, when she suddenly saw two women walking over, she suddenly slapped her forehead - she said that something seemed wrong, that the two concubines were handed over to her. Forget it.

Aunt Zhou and Aunt Lu greeted the two sisters in a proper manner, probably because they were new to a place like the capital, or maybe they knew that this place was no longer the Lin family's house, so their expressions were inevitably a little uneasy and timid.

"The two aunts don't need to be too polite." Lin Shiyu showed a little smile on his face, and said, "I saw my father and Jin'er just now, so it can be seen that the two aunts have spent a lot of time and effort."

After hearing this, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly, and smiled on their faces.

"I think the two aunts are exhausted after this trip. Let's go to Haosheng to have a rest first. Grandma Sun, take the two aunts down."

The family reunion time in the evening is naturally without their involvement. The two understand the rules and are obedient. Naturally, Lin Shiyu will not treat them badly. In addition, he asked the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious food and wine for them alone. Going, and in the name of "reward", I asked someone to send a lot of materials, jewelry and other objects, and there were many maids and women who went with me, and they were considerate and considerate in every way.

At least Aunt Zhou and Aunt Lu are very satisfied and happy, and more and more believe that it was right to obediently listen to the eldest girl, just like the mistress back then, neither mother nor daughter are that mean people in their bones, as long as If you are obedient and obedient, you will never treat anyone badly.

After dinner, before the sky completely darkened, the family of four simply sat in the yard and chatted.

"By the way, ask someone to tidy up another yard tomorrow. You know Mr. Xun's temper. You have to keep an eye on it yourself. Don't let the servant be ignorant and violate his taboo."

"I was wondering why I wanted to ask my father, why didn't I see Mr. Xun today? I have already prepared the yard."

Speaking of Mr. Xun, in fact, Lin Ruhai and Lin Ruhai were classmates and friends back then. According to Lin Ruhai, he was a person with a top talent, but there was a sudden change at home on the eve of going to Beijing to take the exam. When he met a herd of wild boars, he was crushed before he had time to react, and then trampled by a herd of wild boars... When he found him, his corpse was already in a horrible state. His mother passed over on the spot. After a few days, I followed suit.

But who would think that the tragedy is far more than that, as if the sky is jealous of a talent? Later, his wife suffered a dystocia during childbirth, and after struggling for two days, she still died... So, a harmonious and happy family was born Suddenly, it was completely destroyed, and Mr. Xun was also devastated under the successive huge blows. He was in a daze all day long, and he no longer wanted to take the imperial examination after the filial piety period. Even his temper became very weird, and he was no longer the same He is so gentle and polite, and others secretly point out that he is crazy.

Later, when Lin Ruhai found out about this, he personally took him back to the mansion, and he never gave up on comforting him and persuading him to cheer up. The years of careful care of him really made him more energetic, but he didn't want to say anything again. Going to the imperial examination seemed to have completely lost his fighting spirit. He stayed in the mansion on weekdays and played the role of a think tank and staff. He actually helped Lin Ruhai handle a lot of affairs. Even though it is busy, it is also very comfortable and fulfilling.

All the close relatives in this family are gone, and they have been living in the Lin family for so many years. It can be said that not a family is better than a family, so Lin Shiyu is surprised that he has not seen him today.

Lin Ruhai replied: "He has gone back to his hometown to worship, and he will arrive in a few days." Then he asked the two daughters about their experiences during this time.

Lin Shiyu and Lin Daiyu never kept any secrets from each other, they only told the truth about the things they experienced in Jia's house, and Lin Ruhai was so angry that his face turned cold on the spot, and his well-trimmed beard almost turned up up.

What a Wang!Such a big man can still bully two little girls?But really shameless and shameless!And the old lady... Her phoenix egg is a precious heart, and his Lin Ruhai's daughter is nothing worth mentioning?It was actually the reputation of all Gu Yu'er!

Lin Ruhai couldn't help being secretly annoyed, and the little affection left at first was weakened again and again. Although he refused to say anything wrong about other elders in front of his children, he already remembered it in his heart.

"What does Cousin Phoenix Egg like?" Lin Jinyu asked suddenly.

Lin Shiyu laughed and said, "He likes beauties the most, regardless of gender, but he likes to be close to anyone who is good-looking."

Lin Jinyu nodded when she heard the words, "So she's just a lecher." Then she stopped talking, but her eyes were very lively.

Lin Shiyu, who knew him very well, gave him a half-smiling glance, but didn't say anything, anyway, he was always measured, and guessed it was just trying to play tricks on Jia Baoyu.

Seeing this, Lin Jinyu gave her a hey smile, and then went to Lin Daiyu. The two siblings huddled together and bit their ears, murmuring some bad idea.

The family already had a very good relationship. They haven't seen each other in the past few months, so they have a lot to talk about. It's just that it's not easy to go all the way from Yangzhou to the capital, especially Lin Ruhai has to go to face the saint tomorrow morning. There were a lot of delays, but after chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Ruhai was originally a member of the second rank. These years, he was stuck in such an important position as the Xunyan Yushi in Yangzhou. It can be seen that he has really made a lot of contributions to the court and the emperor, and he has won the trust and reliance of the emperor.

Also, this time when the Zhen family was destroyed and copied, he just happened to be transferred back to Beijing, and the journey was nothing more than front and back, which made people really have to doubt the connection between the two.If it is really Lin Ruhai who made great efforts, then his contribution will be even greater. This time when he returns to Beijing, he must go to a higher level, and a first-rank official is right in front of him.

There are different opinions in the capital, but they all agree that Lin Ruhai must be promoted this time. Apart from his merits, the extraordinary features of the eldest daughter also make the court dare not neglect, but no one has ever thought that not only has he been promoted, but also all of a sudden. Sitting directly in a very important and fatal seat - Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, the entire capital was shaken.

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six ministries, which is in charge of the selection, appointment and removal, promotion, promotion, transfer, honors, and examinations of civil servants throughout the Qing Dynasty.

I don't know how many prominent families in the capital are eyeing this seat, but who knows that people are not as good as heaven, the emperor appointed Lin Ruhai directly without saying a word, and did not even leave a chance for others to object.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, the dust settled, and it was useless to allow everyone to beat their feet, stamp their chests and grit their teeth with hatred. At the same time, they couldn't help being extremely shocked by Kangxi's trust in Lin Ruhai and the favor he showed for the Lin family. .

Judging from the emperor's current performance, what kind of glory will it be for the daughter of the Lin family to enter the palace in the future?What's more, can others still have a chance to compete?

No matter how jealous or fearful others are, since the fact is now the case, they have to hide their thoughts, even if they don't say anything to please, at least they can't easily turn against each other, otherwise... an official secretary The right is enough to calmly ask someone to drink a pot.

The originally sparsely populated Lin family's new house was almost broken through the threshold overnight. The concierge returned all the gifts one by one, but the received posts were already full of boxes. Those who wanted to invite the sisters of the Lin family to the Flower Banquet included invitations from the Jia family.

"Sister-in-law Lian's birthday?" Lin Shiyu took a look and put it down, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Isn't the Jia family in full swing right now to build a provincial house for Concubine Jia, why is there still time to do it specially for her?" Birthday? Could it be that she has resorted to some tricks to become the old lady's new favorite during the time we have left?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help curling her lips, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to go." The old lady's selfishness and only caring about Jia Baoyu really made her sad. Besides, Mrs. Wang bullied her sister like that that day, and she didn't hear about the old lady afterward. punish.

"I still have to go." Even if you want to break off the relationship, you can't just break it off.

really.

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening and heard about the incident, he also said, "It stands to reason that I should go to the old lady to greet the old lady when I return to Beijing, but I have been busy these days and have no free time. Since someone handed me a post, it is not easy to refuse. Just go there."

When it was a serious day, the four members of the Lin family reckoned that the time was almost stuck before they went, and it was not for other reasons, but they just didn't want to talk too much about it.

It wasn't a big birthday at all, and the family was really busy, so I just invited a few relatives to join in the fun. The Lin family arrived late, and the historians from the East Mansion next door and the Wang family's historians had already arrived. A whole house of female relatives surrounded the old lady to flatter her.

But the old lady seemed a little absent-minded, her eyes would look out from time to time, and when she finally heard the arrival of the Lin family, her face suddenly relaxed.

Seeing them for the first time, the old lady's eyes were red and she started to cry, and she kept saying "Min'er", every word was pitiful and heartbroken... It's a pity that Lin Ruhai already had a gap in her heart for her mother-in-law, At this moment, listening to her crying again, I could hear a wave of hypocrisy inexplicably.

Mother Jia is still crying hard, just like Mrs. Wang always cries for her eldest son to Jia Zheng. That's all.

However, before she could arouse the emotions of the Lin family, her beloved phoenix egg interrupted.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he came towards Lin Daiyu regardless, "Sister Lin!" As if he could only see this person in those eyes, the eyes were frighteningly bright.

Lin Daiyu was startled, and quickly hid behind her father. At the same time, Lin Jinyu quickly stopped him.

"This is Brother Baoyu, right?"

Jia Baoyu was taken aback for a moment, and seeing his picturesque features as delicate as a fairy boy, he felt a sudden fondness in his heart, and asked curiously, "What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"This is Jin'er?" Being interrupted by such an interruption, Jia's mother had no choice but to wipe away her tears, and looked at her grandson who met her for the first time with a loving smile on her face, "Come and ask grandma to take a closer look, this appearance...is actually No worse than your two older sisters, you three are all taking advantage of your parents' strengths."

Lin Jinyu, who knew nothing about the old lady's preferences, came up to the old lady according to her words, still wondering what the sympathy in the eyes of the two sisters was, and then... suddenly plunged into a soft In his embrace, a pair of big hands hugged him tightly and kneaded and kneaded like kneading dough.

Lin Jinyu, who had never experienced such suffocating love, was completely stunned on the spot, just stood there motionless, looking at people stiffened, and seemed to be quite frightened.

Sisters Lin Shiyu and Lin Daiyu stood beside them and lowered their heads and snickered. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai was still thinking about the relationship between father and son, so he rescued him by speaking out.

"When Jin'er was at home, he was always thinking about his brother Baoyu. Now that we finally see each other, why don't we just ask the two children to go out to play. It's really uncomfortable to keep all the adults in the room together."

Jia's mother looked at Jia Baoyu's obviously interested and liking appearance, and suddenly her heart softened, and she said with a smile: "Alright, let's go."

As soon as he broke free from the shackles, Lin Jinyu hurriedly pulled Jia Baoyu and ran out, with that impatient look, those who didn't know it thought there was a tiger chasing after him.

But Jia's mother didn't know that it was her unconventional way of loving that had brought great fright to the children. Seeing that he only thought he liked Jia Baoyu so much, she was secretly relieved. Yes, this relationship cannot be broken.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ruhai also left and went to the front yard with an excuse. Only the two sisters had no choice but to stay with the female relatives.

The old lady actually complained to them a little in her heart, half-truthfully blamed them for being cruel, but fortunately, Wang Xifeng was there to make jokes, so at least she was fooled.

Not long after, the banquet officially began.

The male guests in front gathered together to eat wine, while the female relatives gathered in the inner courtyard, but there was only one exception - Jia Baoyu.

I don't know what the old lady was thinking, but she didn't shy away from asking such a big boy to mix with the female relatives.

"Where's Jin'er?" Mother Jia asked Jia Baoyu, "It wasn't just that you two went to play together, why isn't he here now?"

Jia Baoyu pursed his lips, and said a little unhappy: "I asked him to come but he refused, saying he wanted to go to the front with my uncle."

Jia's mother frowned when she heard that, "What's the fun of being a kid with a group of old men? Yuanyang, go and bring him."

Lin Shiyu hurriedly stopped him, "Grandma, let him go. He is already eight years old, and it's not suitable for him to be in the inner courtyard. Father should take care of him later."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes could not help but glance at Jia Baoyu, this is a young man who has already mastered human affairs.

But Jia Baoyu didn't notice it, and was busy tugging at Shi Xiangyun's sleeve, begging: "My good sister, let's change seats."

Shi Xiangyun glanced at Lin Daiyu who was sitting on the other side of him, and snorted coldly, "No change! If you make trouble again, I won't eat. I'll go home now!"
