Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Lin Mingan captured the characters related to the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" in Chen's introduction.He calmly faced Yi'an, took them out, commented on them one by one, and dissected the intentions.

"Xiu Guogong Hou's family, Shan Guogong Shi's family both want to marry my brother." Lin Ming'an said with a calm expression: "It's just that the candidate for the Hou family is the daughter of the concubine of the third family, and the girl of the Shi family is the second wife. The first daughter of the first son, but the second wife has always had a low sense of existence in the Shi family, and she is an insignificant figure in the family. And the eldest son of the Shi family married his eldest daughter to the right servant of the Jinling Military Department two years ago Bastard."

"Doesn't this mean that they don't take brother seriously?" Yi'an said angrily.

Lin Mingan showed an indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth: "My brother is not a high-ranking official after all, and they feel that they won't get much benefit for a while. For example, since the eldest daughter of the Shi family got married, they have been assisted by their in-laws to get There is a real shortage of general soldiers in Ningxia. Our Lin family is a newly appointed earl. We were originally just commoners. They are wealthy families that have been passed down for two or three generations. We must feel that we cannot be equal to them. But we also feel that we let go of this son-in-law who has some skills It's a pity, it's better to let the second-class one marry, so that both sides can be achieved."

"Oh, by the way, there is also Nan'an County Wang Mu's family, but the girl mentioned is a direct descendant of the Mu family." After hearing Chen's angrily introduced, Lin Ming'an smiled sarcastically.For Nan'an Palace, he has no good feelings in his heart.He is in a high position and powerful, but he is not only incompetent (commanding a large army to fight against a small country, he will be defeated and captured), but also selfish and domineering, and his character is very bad (forcing the daughter of Jia's family to marry and get married on behalf of his family, that is because his ancestors have friendship !).

"In the eyes of the high-ranking Nan'an Palace, the status of his family's direct family members is also high, enough to be worthy of me as a middle-level official. With this kind of relationship in the future, he will definitely support me! He is willing to condescend , I should wish for it!"

"What a joke. Prince Zhongshun's status is not higher than his family's. Doesn't he treat his brother differently? Even Sister Zhaojing is approachable and approachable to me, and she doesn't put on royal airs!" road.

It can be seen from this that the power and arrogance of the four kings and eight princes are gone, and it is no wonder that it is best to end up with a building toppled and uprooted!Back then, they supported the deposed prince, even the current emperor was not in their eyes.From this point of view, Rong Guogong Jia Daishan is a foresight. In his heyday, he was able to marry his daughter-in-law to Lin Ruhai. Although Lin Ruhai was a prostitute at that time, he did not have much background and influence when he first entered the official career. "

"As for the girls from the Jia family and the Shi family," Lin Ming'an thought of the beauties in the book, and felt a little pity in his heart, but he couldn't use his life to save them after all: "Perhaps they are indeed excellent women. , but based on the entanglement between our two families, it is absolutely impossible for me to agree."

——Besides, what a quagmire the Jia family is, knowing the final outcome, how could he step into it?However, the Jia family should just think about it this way. The only descendant of the Jia family, Jia Xichun, is still young. Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun are both descendants.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are now talking about official titles and titles, compared to themselves and Father, they are not much higher than themselves!It seems that among the four kings and eight princes, the Jia family can't support the family business.Among the four major families, Wang Ziteng is the real mainstay.

"As for the one who wants to marry you, Yi'an, you are the official canonized lord of the country. This is your status, and you should be respected! You also need to understand your status, and you must stand up!" Lin Mingan said seriously: "Historians don't need to think about it. The next generation of the four major families will not have any males that can be produced, and they will not be worthy of you at all!"

Going on further, Lin Mingan's face suddenly became condensed, and a few words came out from between his teeth: "The king of Beijing County is water-melted!"

There was chill and anger in his voice: "He actually dared to come to ask Yi An for marriage! Not to mention that he is much older than Yi An, and he himself has a wife. What did he have to humiliate the Lin family? Yi An An is also the lord of the township, does he want to take Yi'an as a concubine?" He angrily smashed the tea bowl in his hand.

Mrs. Chen recalled the noble lady who had come together at that time, and persuaded her with a smile all over her face: "Mrs. Lin, the Prince of Beijing is handsome and has a noble status, and he is a perfect match for the owner of Yi'an Township! Although the Prince has married the Princess, It is a bit wronged Yi'an, there is a fly in the ointment, but Yi'an is a side concubine who can wear a phoenix crown and Xiapei, and has a title on her body. How can she be regarded as an ordinary concubine? Besides, everyone knows that Princess Beijing has always been in good health. Alright, the palace will be handed over to Yi'an. Doesn't she have the final say on the huge palace? One day, Yi'an will become the heroine of the Beijing Palace? Yi'an will give up her name to gain real benefits. An's father and brother will also be taken care of and supported by Prince Beijing. I don't know how many people envy him, but Yi'an is outstanding, and the prince has his eyes on him. Madam Lin, you should think about it when you go back, and make a decision before it is too late!"

"Isn't the side concubine a concubine? It's the emperor's concubine, and that's also a concubine!" Lin Mingan said coldly, "Aniang, you can answer like this: I am from a scholarly family in the Lin family, and I have a strong character. The daughter in the family will never be a concubine." The man in the family, of course, earns his future by his own ability! If he sells his daughters and sisters, and pulls women’s skirts to bring him wealth, he will have no face to see his ancestors when he dies!"

Yi'an opened her eyes wide and looked at her brother without blinking, deeply moved by his love for her.These days, based on what she has seen and heard in the capital, it is very common for noble families to marry their daughters for the benefit of the family, and everyone thinks this is justified.On the contrary, those who really love their daughters and consider their happiness are the minority!But she also worries about her brother.

"Brother," she asked in a low voice, "will this refusal cause their anger and resentment, and will it be detrimental to you and Dad?"

"Brother An, Yi'an is right!" Chen persuaded, "Even if we don't agree, we should say it more tactfully. It's better to say that Yi'an is not compatible with Prince Beijing, or that Yi'an is still young. How many years will you keep her?"

"What if the Prince of Beijing insists on doing this?" Lin Ming'an said in a deep voice, "He can ask eminent monks to calculate, and the result of the calculation must be a match made in heaven! He can also say that Yi'an will be settled first, and then later. It's about getting married, and this will block our excuse! So, what A Niang said is inappropriate!"

Chen lowered her head and thought hard for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said: "It's really impossible, let's say that Yi'an is devoted to the Buddha, went to the temple to practice for a year and a half, and survived the turmoil, so no one will remember it."

Go live in a temple, away from your family?Yi'an's face turned pale, but she nodded immediately in agreement, she didn't want to hurt her brother.

"No need!" Lin Mingan flatly refused.

Seeing the terrified faces of Chen and Yi'an, he breathed a sigh of relief, and explained the reason for them: "The civil servants are naturally different from the nobles. I am arrogant and unyielding in front of the nobles. Wealthy people cannot be lewd. You will definitely stand by my side and support me, which shows the integrity of civil servants! So, you don’t have to worry! Moreover, I don’t need others to support me at all!”

"What I can do, other people can't do!" He proudly said.

"One more thing, I have told you thoroughly! Since I am valued by the emperor, then naturally, I have to choose to firmly support the emperor! With the emperor's heart and temper, there is no room for foolishness! I just said that Those people are the four kings and eight princes who founded the country, and the emperor has always been wary of them! As long as the emperor supports me, I will be invincible!"

Chen Shi and Yi An nodded silently, and finally settled down.

"So, I rejected those people just like that." Lin Mingan naturally ignored the conversation with his family, and told the result to Prince Zhongshun, spread his hands, and said with a carefree smile: "I offended them all over again! In the future If you are retaliated against, you have to ask the emperor and prince to make decisions for the subordinates!"

"Haha, happy!" Prince Zhongshun happily slapped his legs and laughed after hearing Lin Mingan's words, "You just need to rest assured!"

"Let them dance wildly for a few years, and the future will be long!" He slowly withdrew his smile and let the sun shine coldly.

In the next room, Mother Jia was discussing with her family members.

"I heard that the Lin family boy rejected all the proposals," Jia Mu said, "Even the Nan'an Palace and the Prince of Beijing didn't give face. Especially for the Prince of Beijing, the words of refusal were very rude, and the words were fierce. His sister being a concubine is an insult to his Lin family!"

"Although she is not the main concubine of the palace, she is also a concubine with a noble status! The Lin family has suddenly developed, and they think too highly of themselves!" Mrs. Xing quickly echoed.

Mother Jia sighed: "That's the reason! However, Lin Mingan refuted it when he opened his mouth: "The side concubine is also a concubine, no matter how noble the title is, it can't change her original appearance, and she gave the Prince of Beijing a big embarrassment." .According to me, he is also young and energetic. He has not experienced anything, so he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!"

Everyone present felt uncomfortable for a while, thinking of Yuan Chun in unison, and their hearts stagnated.

"When you are young, you are arrogant. Yesterday, the historian's cousin quietly told that Princess Nan'an was very annoyed at the Lin family's ignorance. But thinking that his father and son are civil servants, they will make a fuss, and they are afraid of causing criticism in the court. Just teach Mrs. Lin and her daughter a little lesson." Madam Wang said with a sullen face.

"Next month, Princess Nan'an is going to hold a flower viewing banquet, and I only invited some of our old relatives." Jiamu paused: "The princess also sent a message to the White House, asking their mother and daughter to appreciate it." It is said that Yu'er will also come to relax at that time, and the relatives of the same clan will just meet up, so it is expected that it will be inconvenient for them to refuse."

"Our four princes and eight princes are all one body, one is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is declining! The Nan'an Palace is also supporting us all. That's the case," Jia Mu sighed softly: "Sister Feng, go and talk to Yu'er. Get some chariots and gifts, and then take Yu'er and the three sisters to the banquet together."

Lin Mingan was rebellious and unruly, so many of his own plans were out of the question.It's a shame that the Jia family fell too fast. Among the four kings and eight princes, they can only rely on their former prestige to support the scene. If they want to deter him, there is nothing they can do.Now, the Lin family is on the side of the emperor and Prince Zhongshun, offending the two palaces, it would be best for someone to come forward and teach them a lesson.
