Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Since Lin Ruhai returned to Jinling from Gusu, he has been full of preoccupations and could not show his face.When he saw the pale and sick-faced son-in-law, the sadness between his brows deepened.He sighed silently, feeling waned.

Mrs. Jia's single name is Yimin. As the name suggests, she is astute in temperament.She had already seen her husband's anomaly, and secretly recruited her confidant, Shi Sun, to accompany her. Her husband, Shi Kang, was the manager of the Lin family. This time, Shi Kang, the ancestor of Gusu, was running errands by Lin Ruhai's side to serve him. She must know something. reason.

"Go and ask your husband, what happened to the ancestor worship this time, which made the master worry?" Jia Min ordered.

Shi Sun didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately went to find Shi Kang and asked him carefully.Then, rush to report back to Jia Min.

"You said the master met An Ge?" Jia Min was startled: "He talked to An Ge? Did he tell An Ge his identity?"

"That's not true!" Shi Sun quickly replied: "When the master first met An Ge'er, he didn't know it was... but seeing him stand up for his mother, he dared to fight against the elders of the Lin family, without fear , I became interested and talked to him a few words."

"Oh, that's how it is!" Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again: "Then Brother An has recovered from his illness, what is he like now?"

Mrs. Shi Sun hesitated for a moment, thinking about what to say later, her heart sank: "The head of the servant girl followed the master and saw the process clearly. He said that An Ge'er looks very good, looks good, and speaks eloquently. That's why the master noticed him."

Jia Min couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, and after a while, he said softly: "Really, that's much healthier than Tianyou!"

Seeing his wife mentioning the little master, Shi Sun did not dare to speak out, and sighed secretly in his heart.Born in such an aristocratic family, they are all sick and in such poor health that they don't need money to support them with expensive supplements.On the contrary, the adoptive one is full of energy and looks like a little golden boy. This is really "planting flowers intentionally but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade"!Could it be that this is destined by God?

Thinking of Shi Kang's conjecture, Shi Sun didn't dare to conceal that she was Jia Min's companion, and she and Jia Min had both prosperity and loss.She deliberated and said: "Madam, my boss has said something, but I'm afraid he's stupid and might make a mistake, but that's disrespectful to the master!"

Jia Min's body trembled: "It's okay, just talk about it!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Shi Sun narrated what Shi Kang saw that day and Lin Ruhai's reaction in a low voice.Jia Min listened quietly, with a calm face, but the slight frown showed the restlessness deep in her heart.

Shi Sun carefully observed Jia Min's face and said: "Later, the master talked with the patriarch alone for a long time, and the servants and maidservants were not allowed to stay in front of them. I really don't know what they talked about. However, seeing the gloomy expression on the master's face, He looked very worried. After a day of exhaustion and never taking a break, I ordered him to back up a generous gift, as if he was going to visit someone. Later, he hesitated again, and he stayed for a long time by himself, and waved me to leave the head of the house. The head of the house said , Master didn’t sleep well that night, he tossed and turned on the bed, sighing from time to time.”

Jia Min closed his eyes and thought about it, and suddenly he was startled, thought of something, and quickly ordered: "You let Shi Kang pay attention to the master's whereabouts and actions, especially those related to Gusu!"

"Gusu?" Shi Sun was taken aback, but she had followed Jia Min for many years and understood Jia Min's thoughts best.She was surprised and said: "Madam, does it mean that the master will?"

"Impossible! Brother An has been adopted for more than three years, how can he come back? No matter the national law or family regulations, it can't be justified! The master is a famous official, and he won't leave this kind of excuse to others Yes!" Shi Sun shook his head in disbelief.

Jia Min sneered: "Forcing will of course be used by others! But if it is, what is Lin Qing willing to do? His own son is unwilling to be raised by others. Should he be allowed to live on the streets? Naturally, he should be brought back. .Isn’t that logical and reasonable?”

"Lin Qing, how could he be willing?" Shi Sun blurted out: "My master said that Brother An was born like a golden boy, he spoke eloquently, and was very affectionate with his parents. How could Lin Qing let go of such a son? No other children?" As soon as he said this, Shi Sun regretted it, lest his wife would be angry when she heard her praise Ang Geer so much, and could not help but turn pale.

Jia Min was unexpectedly angry, she said slowly: "Yeah, even Shi Kang, an irrelevant outsider, thinks An Geer is very good, master, he is his biological father, how can he not be tempted?"

"As long as you really think about it, as for letting Lin Qing let go, the master will naturally find a way. Since ancient times, money is touching!" She glanced at Shi Sun who was a little disapproving, and smiled slightly: "Do you want to Said, Lin Qing, he wouldn't give up a good son for money?"

"Since ancient times, money and silk have touched people's hearts!" Jia Min sighed softly: "If the master is willing to invite a great scholar to Lin Qingyan, and even go out in person, point out his academic articles, and help him take the exam? All men run away. He is not seeking for fame and future! He is only a scholar now, I am afraid that he is not very enlightened in learning, if he has the help of an expert, he may be able to win it with a juren. Juren can be called a master, and if he becomes an official If the master agrees to find an official position for him again and support him along the way, won’t his family’s family be changed? How many people can’t be tempted by this kind of temptation?”

"If An Ge'er was his own son, he would probably refuse. But An Ge'er is just a moth, weighing the gains and losses, it is not impossible to give up! Besides, Lin Qing is still young, and there is only one wife in the family. , without taking a concubine, maybe his wife can’t give birth. If he takes a concubine in the future, he will give birth to his own children, which are not better than those of other people’s families?” Jia Min said, feeling sour in his heart, unexpectedly for someone who is far less noble than her Chen felt somewhat envious.

Shi Sun groaned, and comforted Jia Min, saying: "If this is the case, my wife should relax! Even if he is coming back, Brother An is still a concubine, and he will not spend too much money in the future. The master has always been a person who pays attention to rules and ethics. He will not be allowed to pass over Brother Tianyou! Brother Tianyou is the head of the Lin family, so it would be nice to have a helper to help him! No matter what he does, can he still disobey the head of the family and become a legitimate son?"

Jia Min smiled bleakly: "But Brother An is different! Have you forgotten Zhang Dong'er? You said, will An Ge'er not hold grudges when he grows up and knows the cause of his mother's death? From what Shi Kang saw, then Not an ordinary kid!"

"How can Zhang Donger's death be blamed on the wife?" Shi Sun shook her head and retorted: "She died of illness, it was God's will! When she was alive, the wife did not treat her badly, and she lived in a single family courtyard. Wait, the servant girl is serving, what else can I do? Whoever concubine dares to talk back to the main house should be punished. It's just that she is put on the Zhuangzi to reflect on it. It is also kind of my wife. Put it in someone else's house and sell it It’s all there.”

"But she went, and she has something to do with me!" Jia Min looked in a trance: "Before she left, she left a sincere letter to the master, clearing up her grievances, but not blaming the master. The master feels guilty and uneasy, and because of this, he thinks that I am not virtuous and intends to frame the concubine's room. Although I don't say anything, there is a gap in my heart. With such a scheming mother, how can my son save trouble? How can An Geer defend her like that? Lin Qing's wife will naturally protect her biological mother! Will he hate me, and then hate God? How can he still help God? "

"God bless him is not in good health!" Jia Min said sadly, his eyes slowly filled with tears: "I'm afraid that when he grows up, he will be like this, and he will be weak all the time! You say, he will spend a lot of time in this way." How can you survive studying hard? Not to mention, in the few days in the examination room, how many scholars who took the examination collapsed in the middle of the exam? There are even more serious illnesses when they come out! God is determined If you can't stand this kind of torture, you will die!"

"But if you can't take the imperial examination, you can't be an official! The Lin family is not like my mother's family, and there is a title to inherit. In the future, he can only live as a rich man or donate an official. How can the master be willing? This is the same as the Lin family. Broken the inheritance of the scholarly family."

"An Geer is healthy and full of energy. In the future, he will read books and become an official. God blesses a white body, and only relying on his status as a legitimate son, how can he be suppressed? The master respects rules, but he values ​​the future of the Lin family even more. I won't always be partial to Tianyou and make An Ge'er renounce the family. I'm really worried, if at that time, if An Ge'er hates the house and black, and takes revenge on Tian You, what will happen?"

"After my father passed away, there were two older brothers in my family, but they couldn't support the family. When Tianyou grows up, the Duke's Mansion may not be able to help him much!" Jia Min did not hide her inner thoughts in front of her confidant and accompanying room. .After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth: "I can't let the master's idea come true!"

"Let the housekeeper pay a lot of money to hire a famous doctor to take care of me." Jia Min told Shi Sun's family: "If I can have another son, God will have a brother. Brothers from the same mother are naturally close, so then Nothing to worry about."

"Also, tell you to be in charge." Jia Min closed her eyes and said, "Go and ask the matchmaker to find a few more good-born, clean-born, gentle-tempered women. I want to take concubines for the master! I would rather they give birth to bastards." Come on, I will treat them well, and I will never let Angle return to the Lin family!"

"Besides, let people keep an eye on Gusu Lin's family. If there is any trouble, please come and tell me immediately. Also," Jia Min smiled: "I will write a book, and you will go to Gusu quietly to meet him. Mrs. Lin Qing!"

"Someone has to remind her to be careful not to let her son be robbed, and all the painstaking efforts of a loving mother will go to waste!"
