The mother of the forest in the Red Chamber wears the mother of Jia

The matter of welcoming the spring unexpectedly went smoothly. Not long after, an official media came to the door to talk about marriage, but it was the concubine of the Duke of Li. The Duke of Li, like the Jia family, actually lost the title of Duke. But the old lady is still there, and she still has the plaque of the Duke of Li, and now Liu Fang, the head of the Duke of Li's family, is only a viscount.

The Duke of Li's Mansion has always had a dense population, and he has five sons and three daughters under his knees, of which only the eldest son and the third sons are descendants of concubines, and the others are concubines. The man that the Duke of Li's Mansion said is his fourth son, Liu Xiuran.

Liu Xiuran is also an honest and dull character. His biological mother passed away due to illness when he was seven or eight years old. Although Liu Xiuran was not raised under Mrs. Liu's knees, he has always been honest and responsible, and did not compete with the two eldest brothers. Usually, I just study hard. In the past two years, I passed the Tongsheng, but I didn't pass the examination as a scholar, but among the children of noble families, I can be regarded as knowing how to make progress.

Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Li's idea is also very simple. The three concubines in his family have already made a mistake in choosing the second son. She chose a daughter of a small official family for the second son. Others are not good. With more eyes than anyone else, he urged his second son to show his presence in front of Liu Fang, wanting to please more.Liu Fang just likes this kind of thing very much. A few years ago, she even found an errand for her second son, which made Mrs. Liu feel so bored.

With such a lesson learned from the past, Mrs. Liu does not want to find someone like the second son-in-law this time, and don't make the originally honest fourth son also toss. Originally, Mrs. Liu was still having a headache. She met Yingchun before and asked about Yingchun again. She suddenly felt that Yingchun could be said to be the best choice. Yingchun had no desire to win at all, and had always been a drifter. Even better, her background was not bad. She is much better than the second daughter-in-law, so she was worried that people with similar ideas would be the first to arrive. After making some inquiries, Mrs. Liu immediately approached the official media to propose marriage.

After Mrs. Xing got the hint from Lin's mother, she responded very reservedly. The two families quickly exchanged Geng notes, asked the master to calculate the birth date, and got a hundred-year-old comment. Certainly.

On the day of Xiao Ding, looking at Yingchun, Mrs. Liu felt more and more satisfied. Having a worry-free daughter-in-law was better than anything else. Therefore, she generously inserted a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with silk on Yingchun's head. Looking at Mother Lin, she said with a smile: "Madam, I love this child more and more. I really wish it was my own!"

Mother Lin smiled and said: "This is good, we will be a family in the future!"

Mrs. Xing also echoed her. She really didn't expect that such a silent, wooden concubine would be able to have a relationship with the Duke of Li, so she was very proud recently.

Originally, the Xing family wanted to ask Yingchun to enter the palace to participate in the election, so as to suppress Yuanchun. Looking at it now, Yingchun does not need to participate in the election, and can marry into the Duke's mansion. Although she is a concubine, Yingchun herself is just a concubine. However, the Xing family has no intention of recording Yingchun in his own name.But as for Yuan Chun, the Xing family had heard the rumors, and the old lady probably had no hope for her, and was already planning to turn around and ask for grace, so that Yuan Chun could go home and get married.

Yuanchun entered the palace at the age of 14. Now she is an old lady in her twenties. What kind of family can she marry? Mrs. Wang often despises herself as a second wife to fill in the house. Might not be able to marry into a good family. Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Xing became even more proud. When she saw Mrs. Wang, she would inevitably say a few sarcasm. She wished she could go to Mother Lin for questioning immediately.

Mrs. Wang has aged very quickly in the past few years. A few years ago, she had a good life and took good care of her. Mrs. Xing was ten years younger than her, but because she dressed old-fashioned, she looked similar to Wang. Now Mrs. Xing Taste still hasn't changed much, but Mrs. Wang looks a full 20 years older than Mrs. Xing.

She now has a lot of gray hair on her head, and her hair loss is also very serious. Even if she mixes a lot of wigs every time she combs her hair, it is still very obvious. Wrinkles can't be covered up, especially the vertical lines between the eyebrows, which look even more mean and hostile.

Her life is not going well now, she has no money and no one in her hands, so the subordinates dare to neglect her, no one secretly said that the second wife is kind, but many people say that the second wife has a bad temper and is not easy to serve. Ask Wang to listen, and there is only a more gloomy reason.

Now Wang's hopes are placed on Yuanchun and Baoyu. Baoyu is still young, and because of Lin's mother, she has a fiancée Shi Xiangyun that she doesn't like. Looking at it now, Jia Baoyu seems to be fascinated by Shi Xiangyun. In general, the two hadn't formally engaged yet, and they were stuck together all day long, almost inseparable, which made Wang gnash her teeth with hatred. She wanted to point fingers at Sang Huai, but she opened her mouth here, and Lin's mother lightly suppressed her on the other side. down.She picked a few beautiful maids to serve Jia Baoyu, but Lin's mother took her over and scolded Jia Baoyu, saying that Jia Baoyu's body was broken by the girl who was attacked, and she was contaminated with female sex before she got married. It's my own mother, and she found an excuse to punish Wang for copying scriptures and reciting Buddha.

She originally intended to destroy Shi Xiangyun's innocence, but it was only when she had her own confidant to do something like this, no one would dare to do such a terrible thing for her now that she is like this.Therefore, apart from secretly resenting her, there was really nothing Wang could do for a while, especially seeing Jia Baoyu seem to be getting more and more alienated from her, Wang felt extremely unwilling, so she pinned her hopes on Yuan Chun.In her opinion, Xue Baochai can be a concubine, and Yuan Chun naturally has only the stronger one.

At the beginning, Lin's mother did not allow the Jia family to pass money to Yuan Chun, Wang's love was also for money, but now, Wang has no choice but to find a way to get on line with the eunuch in the palace, and start sending money to Yuan Chun again , using the only remaining private house of the Wang family.Wang's family doesn't have many private houses, so in order to get more money, he pawned the jewelry in his dowry.

Mrs. Wang has become extremely paranoid now. Although Mother Lin has heard about it, she doesn't care about it at all. She is willing to ruin her private house.

As a result, when Mrs. Xing was showing off at Mrs. Wang's side, Mrs. Wang knew that Mrs. Lin wanted Yuan Chun out of the palace on purpose, and she almost went crazy. Waiting for Mrs. Liu to leave, she immediately opened her mouth and asked: " Old lady, I heard that you want to ask for grace to let Yuan Chun go home?"

Lin's mother frowned when she heard her provocative tone, and scolded: "Mr. Wang, what are you talking about?"

After being reprimanded, Mrs. Wang regained her senses, lowered her head and said, "Old lady, my daughter-in-law is just impatient! It's just about Yuanchun..."

Mother Lin said lightly, "How old is Yuan Chun this year?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a while when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "After the new year, you will be twenty!" My heart also suddenly felt, twenty, girls in the Wang family married early, Wang married Jia Zheng when she was thirteen At twenty, Jia Zhu could talk and walk.

Mother Lin sneered: "You know, she is already in her twenties, and the palace is going to be drafted again soon, and a group of bright beauties are going to enter the palace. Do you think Yuanchun still has a chance?"

Wang was in a hurry, and said in a hurry: "Old lady, let's beg the imperial concubine, she agreed back then!"

Mother Lin frowned and said: "You also know that it was back then. It was not possible back then, not to mention now, no matter what the imperial concubine is, she can't control other people's palaces. Are you talking nonsense? Mrs. Wang, it was fine to enter the palace in Yuanchun, after all No one would have imagined that such a mistake would happen, but now, Yuan Chun can't be called to waste his time, if Yuan Chun is really asked to wait four or five years before leaving the palace, then, what kind of good family can he marry?"

Listening to what Lin Mu said, although she still had some unrealistic thoughts in her heart, she also understood that what Lin Mu said was right, she just felt that the sky was about to fall, and she almost collapsed on her ass. She cried: "Then Yuanchun, Yuanchun's hard work for so many years, isn't it in vain?"

Lin's mother said directly: "I know that you love daughters. Yuan Chun grew up beside me. Don't I love her? You also said that she has been suffering for many years, and she can't continue to suffer. Now The situation is unclear. If Yuan Chun rashly gets involved, I'm afraid I'll ruin myself for nothing. Why don't I go out of the palace with the rank of a female official now? Grace! To be disrespectful, the saint is not too young now, and he still has some affection for our family. The matter of Yuanchun is also easy to talk about. If the new emperor ascends the throne, we have no friendship with him. What will happen then? That would be hard to say!"

Wang thought about it, but still couldn't make up her mind, and finally burst into tears: "My poor Yuanchun! Why are you so miserable!"

Lin's mother sneered: "Okay, since you are so reluctant, then let it go, let Yuan Chun stay in the palace, and wait until the full 25, and then go out of the palace!" Lin's mother is too lazy to entangle with Wang. Unclear, she just wants to completely cut off Wang's hope now. Seeing that the saint is about to go to Zen, Lin's mother doesn't want to make Yuanchun make trouble again, so she turns over and makes Wang feel proud.

Mrs. Wang was taken aback by Lin's mother's words. She just wanted to procrastinate, but Lin's mother was so resolute that she felt a little confused. She wiped away her tears and looked extremely embarrassed: " The old lady, the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is stupid, the matter of Yuanchun is entirely up to the old lady!"

Mother Lin nodded and said: "This is still like a human saying. You are also a mother. If Yuan Chun really had that good luck, my old lady would try her best to make it happen, but it is obviously impossible now, so why bother to include Yuan Chun in it?" !"

Reluctantly, Wang agreed. When she looked up and saw Xing's sarcasm, she almost lost her temper immediately, but now that she was in a bad situation, she could only swallow her anger, thinking in her heart that she had to find someone for Yuan Chun. It's a good marriage, we can't suppress Yingchun and Xue Baochai.
