Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Nan'an Prince's Mansion sent invitations to Huaidebo's Mansion, and the nun who came to deliver the invitation said that the old concubine of Nan'an had just been ill a few days ago, and she dreamed of a Bodhisattva raining down on willow branches in a few days. recovered.Coincidentally, the crabapple flowers in the palace were in full bloom, so I wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate, and I would like to invite all the ladies and ladies to enjoy the joy.Nanny

I also deliberately added a sentence: The old concubine also invited several ladies from the Rongguo Mansion, including Lin Ruhai, the former inspector of the Yan Dynasty. Isn't that the sister of the Xiangjun?Alas, that is also a poor one, without father and mother, but fortunately, there are grandmothers and uncles looking after them.

I heard that the noble family is also very concerned about Miss Lin, and even gave away things twice. The old lady of the Jia family is still grateful.That's right, after all, they are people of the same family, and they live in different places, so how can they be intimate with each other.However, Miss Lin has been keeping her filial piety at home, so you won't be able to see her.The girl's mother was also brought up by our old concubine, and she cherished her situation, fearing that she would be lonely and depressed, so she specially invited her to relax.At that time, you will also be able to see it, and I would like to ask my wife and the township king to give you a lot of honor!

This has been said inside and out, and it is hard for Chen to refuse, so he can only accept the post with a smile.That night, when the family gathered for dinner, Mrs. Chen mentioned this matter to Lin Qing and Lin Mingan, wanting to ask their opinions.

"Our family has no friendship with the Nan'an Palace, and Brother An even rejected their marriage proposal. I heard that the Nan'an Palace has always been a little domineering, so they won't retaliate because of their displeasure?" Lin Qing frowned and said, "Both of you mother and daughter When a person comes to someone's house, it is inevitable that they will be single and weak. If someone provokes you in public and embarrasses you, what can you do? You can't just go back, it's a princess, a concubine, after all, there are different identities .In my opinion, it’s better to refuse! On that day, you pretend to be sick and hide away!”

Chen shi was a little moved, she turned her head and asked Lin Ming'an, "Brother An, what do you think?"

Lin Ming'an pondered for a while: "Aniang, it's okay if I hide this time. But, if it's the next time, next time, can I keep pushing the disease away? As the saying goes, there is only a thief for a thousand days, there is no Guard against thieves! If we show weakness, we will be bullied even more!"

"Besides," Lin Ming snorted coldly, "While Princess Nan'an and Princess Nan'an have high status, Aniang and Yi'an are not low! In front of the emperor and the queen, we are all the same courtiers, who is more noble than the other ? They don't dare to go too far!"

"As for plotting to make things difficult?" He smiled at Chen Shi: "I believe that A Niang and Yi'an are not weak and incompetent people, and they will definitely be resolved!"

"Aniang doesn't care, but Yi'an," Chen hesitated.

"Aniang, I'm not afraid!" Yi'an said, "I've grown up too, and I've learned a lot from the nuns. How can I always rely on my father, mother and elder brother? I have to stand up by myself!"

"That's right, Yi'an, that's it. We don't bully others, and we must never let others bully us!"

"If you are making things difficult, you just fight back! It's just that you have to learn to use appropriate means and methods."

"Don't worry about implicating my brother, I've already said the reason. There is a saying that goes well: If you stand on a wall, you can be strong without desire!"

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Mingan recalled some house fights and palace fight dramas he had seen in his previous life, and gave Chen and Yi'an a good introduction, which surprised them. In reality, the Lin family was simple and harmonious, while others' houses were chaotic. They just heard about it, but didn't experience it personally.

After Yi'an left, Lin Ming'an comforted Chen Shi and said, "Mother, don't worry, Yi'an is smart and stubborn, and will not be bullied. Besides, I will make some preparations for you!"

The next day, Lin Mingan went to the House of Internal Affairs to meet Prince Zhongshun, and told about Nan'an Palace inviting his mother and younger sister to a banquet.

"Do you want to take precautions for your family? That's right. The Nan'an Palace has been passed down for generations, and it still holds military power in its hands. It has always been arrogant and domineering. You refused to propose a marriage. They naturally feel that it has hurt his family's face, and they will always return it. !" Prince Zhongshun said: "But they are considered to be knowledgeable, and if they make trouble, the imperial censor will impeach him!"

"It's also because of this that they have no fear. Even if they are expected to be officials, they can't bring the disputes in the inner house to the public. The officials have no desires or demands for them, so naturally they have no fear, but they don't want to let their family suffer a little bit of grievance! That's why I asked the prince for help!" Lin Mingan said seriously.

"Oh, then what do you want me to do?" Prince Zhongshun asked curiously.

"That's right." Lin Mingan smiled slightly, and calmly said one by one.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the Nan'an Palace's banquet.On this day, Chen Shi and Yi'an woke up in the morning and dressed themselves meticulously.After tidying up, they looked carefully in the mirror, and the mother and daughter checked each other again before boarding the chariots and horses that had been prepared earlier, and headed towards Nan'an Palace.

Today, the Chen family and Yi'an are extraordinarily dignified, each wearing clothes and jewelry that show their identities. Among the noble ladies and ladies in the capital, they are also glamorous and dignified, with outstanding demeanor.Surrounded by the maids and mothers behind them, the countess and the country lord showed their aura without showing any timidity.

"I've seen the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Wang." She was led respectfully to the flower hall by the maids, and many female relatives had already arrived. The hall was full of fragrant clothes and rings.Chen Shi and Yi'an calmly stepped forward and blessed Fushen: "We are late, we really shouldn't, please forgive us."

Concubine Nan'an and Princess Nan'an were all dressed up in fine attire, looking at Chen Shi and Yi'an who were apologetic but not frightened, they pursed their lips.There was a half-smile on his face.According to the law, Mrs. Chen is Mrs. Uncle, and Yi An is the Lord of the Township.But if you want to be more respectful, it's okay for Yi'an to kneel and salute. The girls from the old relatives just kowtowed to salute.

They didn't open their mouths to call Chen Shi and Yi'an to get up, and looked down condescendingly at the doctor's pulse, thinking to use this to create a kind of coercion for the mother and daughter who don't know the rules, so that they can see their status and identity clearly.

"Eh?" Grand Concubine Nan'an's sharp eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen's and Yi'an's mother and daughter's clothes which were different from those of others.Mrs. Chen is wearing a crimson brocade and silk satin skirt, luxurious and dignified.Yi'an was wearing an emerald-colored Liuxian dress with layers of layers, elegant and beautiful.As the breeze blows, the dark patterns of plum blossoms and butterflies on the skirt appear and disappear, and the luster flows.

This is the high-grade clothing material of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau's new tribute this year. Except for the palace, there are not many people in the capital who can get the reward.In the palace, only myself and Princess Nan'an were rewarded with a few horses, but the mother and daughter wore them!

Look at the purple and gold eight-treasure bun on Chen's head, the pair of lotus seed-sized east pearl earrings on Yi'an's ears, and the emerald emerald bead string on his chest, none of which can be seen on the market.If she sees it well, they are all things in the palace, and they are of good quality.

Concubine Nan'an's heart skipped a beat, and her expression softened: "Mrs. Huaidebo, you're welcome, please sit down. Mr. Yi'an's outfit today is really like a fairy!"

"The concubine's praise is ridiculous, and Yi'an is ashamed! This is a recent reward from the palace, and it is all the grace of the emperor and empress." Yi'an stood up and said generously.

This sentence aroused the envy of everyone present, and the eyes they cast on Chen Shi and Yi An changed.Today, Wang Xifeng brought Sanchun sisters, Xue Baochai, and Lin Daiyu to visit the Jia family. They have all heard about Lin Mingan's life experience, and seeing this situation, they feel even more complicated.

Xue Baochai looked at Yi'an, who was radiant and calm in front of Concubine Nan'an, and suddenly thought of her incompetent brother Xue Pan, and couldn't help feeling sad.If I have such an elder brother, even if I was born in an imperial merchant, can I live as freely and freely as Mr. Yi'an Xiangjun, without having to be careful and considerate everywhere, and devote all my energy and wisdom to planning for the family?

Sighing secretly in her heart, she then looked at Lin Daiyu, who bowed her head and remained silent beside her, with a bit of sympathy.

Originally, Lin Ming'an should be Daiyu's elder brother!Everything that Mr. Yi'an has now is what Daiyu should have!But because of Daiyu's mother's mistake, she was misunderstood, what a pity!Alas, Xue Baochai felt that she was luckier than Lin Daiyu, and she sighed softly for Daiyu.

Concubine Nan'an's gaze inadvertently landed on the nanny behind Yi'an, and she was startled.

"Gao Momo, why is it you? Don't you live in Prince Zhongshun's mansion?" She recognized that this Gao Momo was originally the confidant of the current emperor and Prince Zhongshun's biological mother, Concubine Xian.After Concubine Xian died, she combed herself and never married, and took care of the two brothers in the palace.Later, Prince Zhongshun took her to the mansion to be the foster mother of Princess Zhaojing.In name, Nanny Gao is only a palace servant, but she has a high status in the palace, and Princess Zhongshun respects her very much.Such an old man actually came to the White House?Concubine Nan'an suddenly became a little apprehensive.

"Princess Taifei," said Gao Nai with a smile, "Thanks to Mrs. Huaidebo's attention, I invited a servant to educate Mr. Lin Xiang for a year and a half. My prince also readily agreed, and asked the servant to do his best and not lose It hurt his face!"

"I'm sorry to trouble you!" Yi'an said affectionately to Gao, "You are such an old man who has served your mother to guide Yi'an. You are really overqualified. Yi'an really can't afford it!"

"Don't say that, Xiangjun!" Gao Numa said: "I have also heard from the prince that your elder brother is dedicated to the country and shares the worries of the emperor. The emperor praises him, why can't you bear it?"

Concubine Nan'an and Princess Nan'an looked at each other, secretly startled.In this situation, it is obvious that the emperor and Prince Zhongshun are supporting the Lin family.It's a small thing to make things difficult for her mother and daughter today, but if it gets to the ears of the emperor, it means that the Nan'an palace insists on opposing the emperor, and the emperor should not favor them!No matter how powerful Nan'an Palace is, it is still a courtier after all, so could it be possible to rebel?

Alas, they also felt somewhat regretful.I never thought that the Lin family would win the Sacred Heart. They thought they were just newcomers who were only good at some strange skills and tricks. After all, it was not a big achievement!If I had known this earlier, it was time to introduce a woman with a higher status to match her!Now, it is not easy to do so.

Pressing the thoughts in their hearts, Nan'an Concubine and Wang Hao kindly greeted Chen Shi and Yi'an to take their seats, and the maids brought fragrant tea, exquisite snacks and fruits, and placed them neatly on the table in front of them.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Concubine Nan'an smiled and said: "Their little girls are bored with us, why not go for a walk in the garden, we women talk together."

Following the words of Concubine Nan'an, the girls came to the garden under the guidance of the maid, and gathered in twos and threes to enjoy the scenery.For the first time, Yi'an met Lin Daiyu, who had been curious for a long time, her clan sister, the girl who was half blood related to her brother.
