[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

Chapter 48 Daiyu's Seven Little Brothers

After the sacrifice to heaven, Lin Ruhai had already prepared for the worst, and was always ready to deal with the emperor who made troubles. He really couldn't trust Lin Ruhai, a person with a criminal record.But after waiting and waiting, my heart has been hanging for several days, and I haven't seen any moths from the emperor.He only kept Daiyu for one night, and sent it back to the Lin Mansion the next day. Of course, he also brought a large sum of rewards with him, calling it a gift for a goddaughter.

Although the emperor acted like he didn't know anything, Lin Ruhai dared to bet that he must know something for a copper coin, otherwise, how could he love Daiyu so much for no reason, and the relatives and daughters in the palace have never seen such a rush.Since the emperor has been holding back, no matter what the reason is, Lin Ruhai is temporarily relieved that the daughter is still in his hands.

Lin Ruhai was quite regretful that the San San San was not able to do a big job. Naturally, he would not miss it when the full moon came. As long as there were friends in the capital who invited him over and over again, plus those who wanted to curry favor with Lin Ruhai, the full moon banquet was the day of the Lin Mansion. There were many cars and horses, crowds of pedestrians, and it was very lively. Almost half of the people in the capital came to participate in the ceremony.Most of those who didn't come were because their official positions were too low to come to them directly, but they all sent people to give them full moon gifts.

The people who came to the door were mainly divided into two groups, one group was with the idea of ​​seeing the daughter-in-law in advance, with Mrs. Lin as a fertile mother, the girl was naturally not bad, as long as she could inherit half of it, that would be enough.Moreover, this girl was regarded as a adopted daughter by the emperor when she was just born, and she even has the title of blessed girl.

Besides, the family affairs are not bad. The decent family of princes and scholars is also the daughter of a second-rank official. Her father is in charge of such an important department as the Ministry of Officials. Seeing that she is about to be promoted to a first-rank official. Any family in Beijing that has a son of the right age does not want to become a relative with the Lin family.

As for the girl's appearance, the appearance of her parents, and the seven older brothers are so zhilanyushu, even if they grow up with their parents' shortcomings, they will not be far behind. It is really not easy to find with a lantern. As for the candidate for daughter-in-law, no matter which family's son in the capital is suitable, it is more than enough.

So the younger ones who could be taken to the backyard were led by the female relatives to stay with Jiang Yingrong, and the older ones were taken by the old men in the outer courtyard, ready to be seen by the future father-in-law in advance.What's more, the eleven or twelve-year-old boy in the family also brought over, not afraid that Lin Ruhai would dislike the old age.Anyway, if you try, you won't lose a piece of meat. Maybe Mr. Lin has a sharp eye, and he can spot his own son from the crowd at a glance.

The full moon banquet with the most little princes in history kicked off, and there should be three fireworks here!

The other wave is to build a good relationship with Lin Ruhai. This Lin Ruhai has been in the bureaucracy for many years, but he really has a temperament of not getting involved. He will not accept any money or gifts, even if it is a gift during the New Year. With a thicker gift in return, some people who want to rely on gifts to gain relationships have no way to start.

Don't look at Lin Ruhai's political affairs, saying one is one, two is two, and never cheating, but he is not upright and pedantic, and he has a lot of experience in interpersonal relationships. Let people catch the wrong place.He was already trusted by the emperor, but he handled this job well, and his status became even more unshakable.Someone once boldly participated in Lin Ruhai's performance in the court, and within a few days, this person was investigated and found guilty of ransacking his home and exiled.

Afterwards, even if someone scolded Lin Ruhai behind his back for being ungrateful, stubborn, and how to prick a villain, he would always greet him with a smile and be very kind when he met him. This person really cannot be offended.

This time, the Lin family is finally going to hold a big banquet. People who have nowhere to give gifts on weekdays are like cats smelling fish. If they don’t give gifts at this time, when will they wait, and they will try their best to send gifts to Lin Ruhai. Go to the bottom of my heart.Those clever ones gave gifts that are rare for little girls, and Lin Ruhai is definitely a spoiled girl with a clear eye.

I don't want to stay in the future, but I just ask Lin Ruhai to raise his hand a little bit during the evaluation to see Amitabha!

Lin Ruhai was happy today, and he would not refuse anyone who offered a toast, for fear that others would not know how happy he was with his daughter.At the beginning, I was dragged and introduced that this is my son, this is my grandson, Lin Ruhai hasn't woken up yet, but every time I go to a table, I can see a few young masters, and now I don't realize that The vigilance of being an old father is too lacking.

Alright, my daughter started thinking about it when she was still in her infancy. Lin Ruhai looked over one by one, and wrote down all those who promoted her son or grandson. When writing the evaluation, she would change the word or write it differently, and see if you still dare to write it down. Dare to think about other people's daughters.

It can be said that there is a lot of room for writing evaluation operations. For the same level of results, a well-written evaluation will be more brilliant.For example, one captures the description of key political achievements, uses words and sentences to highlight the content that the emperor cares about; the other writes a lot of things in a profuse manner, seems to have written everything that has been done, but drowns out the main political achievements Among other trivial matters, the words are more ordinary.

Comparing the two evaluations, it is obvious that the former has more credit, even though the latter may actually be more capable and have better political performance.The key is that others can't find fault, but we have written everything you have done, and we have absolutely no selfish intentions to deliberately conceal it, so what are you dissatisfied with?

It can be seen from this that not only must the work be done well, but also the report and summary shall be well done, otherwise how would the leader know what you have done.

The backyard was also very lively. I thought Mrs. Lin, who was over [-] and gave birth to a daughter, must have a yellow complexion and a bloated figure, and she needed heavy makeup and fancy dress to cover it up.It turns out that I have a ruddy complexion, fair skin, and a slender figure. I wear simple and refreshing clothes. I am even more beautiful than a young woman in her early twenties. I am even more attractive than all the wives present. I can tell that I have eight children. mother.

No wonder Lin Ruhai doted on his wife so much, he didn't even have a housekeeper for decades, and only guarded this one regular wife. Having such a wife is really a fish eye compared to other women.If I can have such a beautiful face and give birth to seven sons like this, my master will not put his eyes on others, and he will not spoil a maid today and hire a good concubine tomorrow.

Madams don't mention how sour their hearts are, their faces are full of smiles, and they don't need to spend money on compliments. After complimenting Jiang Yingrong, praise Daiyu, and after complimenting Daiyu, Lin Jiaqilang.Then he didn't forget to mention his youngest son, wishing he could make a baby kiss on the spot.

The most out of the ordinary must be Jia Mu, Xisan missed it, Man Yue Jia Mu said that she didn’t want to miss it again, even if she was a little unwell, she insisted, and took Yuan Chun and Baoyu to her granddaughter’s full moon banquet.

I brought Yuanchun to see if I could meet a suitable family. Yuanchun was about to turn [-], but he started seeing each other long ago.But the people she can fancy look down on her, and Yuan Chun, who can fancy her, doesn't like her, and of course Mother Jia doesn't like her even more.

Mother Jia pointed out that her granddaughter, who was born on the first day of the new year, would have a good future. From the beginning, she wanted to send her to the palace, but the second house was down, and Jia Amnesty didn't cooperate. There is no way to find a way.Seeing that the lucky granddaughter was about to fall into her hands, Jia's mother was in a hurry, thinking that all the wives of the granddaughter's full moon banquet would be there, and seeing Yuan Chun's appearance at that time must be There are many suitors.

Sure enough, someone saw a girl sitting next to Mother Jia, and the girl was patiently taking care of her younger brother, and those who didn't understand the situation began to make noises.Yuan Chun's appearance is still very capital, not only good-looking, but also looks quite plump and healthy, looks like a blessed child, and looks generous and dignified, just the style of daughter-in-law that mothers-in-law like.

"Who is the young lady sitting next to Mrs. Shi?" asked a somewhat disturbed lady.

"That's Shi Taijun's granddaughter, Mrs. Li, don't you like it?" Mrs. Xie who knew it replied quietly.

"That girl looks good. The children in the family are old enough to look good, but this girl should not be too young, and she may have already betrothed to someone else." Mrs. Li felt a little regretful.

"That's the eldest daughter of the second room of Jia's house. She hasn't settled on a marriage yet. Who do you fancy, but her?"

"My dear sister, is there something wrong with her family or is there something wrong with the girl herself? Please clarify!" The wife of the Li family has only been in Beijing with her master for five or six years, so she naturally doesn't know about the second house of Jia's family.

"It's been more than ten years. Your family didn't belong to Beijing, so it's natural not to know. This girl's father took advantage of Shi Taijun's preference to steal into the main house, and her mother killed the eldest son directly. He was directly sent to the official to be executed by Mr. Jia. The imperial decree issued by the emperor himself disqualified Mr. Jia from being an official for life, and even took off the plaque of Rongguo Mansion. The second master has been crazy since then, and he hasn't seen him go out for more than ten years."

Speaking of gossip, Mrs. Xie's eyebrows are beaming, and the Jia's matter can be arranged into a play, and it will definitely be a big hit.

"The old matriarch looks very kind-hearted. How can she be so indiscriminate between right and wrong? Isn't it fueling the second wife's ambition to let the youngest son live in the main house?" Mrs. Li was angry at herself for being wrong. Most people in the world prefer the youngest son, but very few Someone can be as ignorant of etiquette as Shi Taijun, and he is so biased.

This girl also has a mother who poisoned her children so much. It is hard for Mrs. Li not to suspect that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter. If she really hires the youngest son, it means that one day the eldest son's family will suffer.At this time, Mrs. Li was very grateful to Mrs. Xie for her knowledge.

"Who said it wasn't? The outside world is speculating that Shi Taijun, the grandmother, was also involved in the murder of the eldest son of the house." Mrs. Xie threw another blockbuster, and Mrs. Li almost couldn't control her expression in shock.

How can a girl brought up by such a cruel old lady be kind-hearted? No wonder she hasn't married yet at such an age. Only she, a foreigner, doesn't know the details.Mrs. Li wished she could pull her former self out and beat her up. Maybe she was thinking too much. This girl was just tired by her elders. She was a kind person, but Mrs. Li didn't dare to make this bet, risking the lives of her family. adventure.

Mother Jia didn't know about the discussion below, and she was trying every means to connect the two Yu'er.Jia's mother felt that the two jade children were a good match from heaven, and that Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth, which must be a great fortune.Daiyu was born on the Huachao Festival, and the Huachao Festival has such a wonderful scene. The lucky girl recognized by the emperor himself is a very lucky girl.Such two people are not a perfect match.

Jia's mother dotes on Baoyu with all her heart, and she only thinks that the golden grandson is so kind, and the emperor's grandson and nobles are not as good as her.He completely forgot that Baoyu's status at this time was only the son of a concubine, and his father was a crazy white man. Any son of an official family in the capital was a hundred times stronger than him.Even if Baoyu is still the identity in the book, as the favored son of the second wife, it is not enough to match Daiyu, let alone the current Baoyu, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a difference between clouds and mud.

"Old relatives, you can see how much Baoyu likes Daiyu as a cousin. From the beginning, he never took his eyes off her sister. It's so strange that they are cousins, and they even have the same name. It can be seen that there is a relationship." Jiamu smiled. Hehe, talking about the topic.Today's Jia Baoyu is dressed like a big red envelope, with a gold collar embedded with psychic treasures around his neck, which is even more festive than Daiyu, the righteous master.

Fortunately, Jia Baoyu had just passed his first birthday, and he still couldn't speak well. If he couldn't say it when he was three or four years old, he would be able to say "I have seen this sister" in advance.However, in the end it was related to Daiyu, and Daiyu was precisely targeted at a young age.

Mrs. Lin pretended not to understand the unfinished meaning: "Of course, serious brothers and sisters are not unmatched by others." She emphasized the word "pro" emphatically.

Seeing that Mrs. Lin didn't answer the conversation in the direction she expected, Mother Jia changed the subject: "I love Min'er the most when she's at home, but what worries me the most on weekdays is her marriage. Fortunately, Er married into such a kind family as my old in-laws. Now that I have such a lovely granddaughter as Yu'er, my heart has been raised again, for fear that she will be bullied in the future, so I wish I could take her home." Jiamu said While clutching his chest, he looked worried for his granddaughter.

Hearing Jia's mother's hint of being naked/naked/nude, the smile on Zhang's face sitting on the side almost couldn't hold back, let alone Baoyu, even if it was his own son Jia Yan, Zhang was too embarrassed to mention marriage Son, how can the identity of this niece be discussed by a family like Jia's who has no real power and is on the verge of decline?It is impossible to say that His Majesty has to personally point out the matter of marriage, but the old lady proposed it in front of so many people. Could it be that she is planning to take the opportunity to force this matter?

With so many visitors, Daiyu, who was known as a princess by everyone, was dragged by her grandmother to marry a bastard of Baiding.

What else is worrying about being bullied? Could it be that someone’s own father and seven elder brothers can’t be arranged, and their own girls can’t be protected. You have to rely on you, an old lady from a foreign family, to protect them?What are you talking about!

Mrs. Zhang used to think that Mother Jia's head was not normal, as long as what she was sure of, even if it was ridiculous to the sky, it was correct in her eyes.Now it seems that it is more than abnormal. He keeps saying that he loves his daughter, but what he does is different from forcing his daughter.Mrs. Zhang put herself in her shoes and thought about it, if her own daughter was forced to match someone with Baoyu's status, then she really wanted to kill that person with a knife.

Seeing Mrs. Lin and her elder sister's faces darken, Mrs. Zhang thought about her relationship with her elder sister, and couldn't bear her, a daughter, to make things difficult in public, and rumors spread by those who wanted to disobey her mother in public.The so-called big tree attracts the wind, and things that have no shadow can be spread with nose and eyes.What's more, if the words are a little tougher this time, it is estimated that even worse words will come out.

Mrs. Zhang cut off the conversation ahead of time, and purposely spoke a little louder: "It's a good thing for the old lady to love Yan'er, but her son and daughter-in-law know that Yan'er's jumping up and down like a monkey, she doesn't dare to match Lin's brother-in-law who is golden and precious." My dear girl. Don't mention that brother-in-law Lin will complain, even the daughter-in-law herself will feel sorry for her niece."

In this way, outsiders only thought that the person Jia Mu wanted to marry was the eldest son of the house, who was better than Baoyu, the concubine, and could also intercept Jia Mu's unfinished words.Mrs. Zhang is really worried that Mother Jia will say in public that she wants to match the two Yu'er regardless.

After hearing this, the lady with good deeds said with a smile: "Auntie's cousin is not worthy, and it is a good talk if it is done." This one has no young son in the family, and if he doesn't care about Daiyu, he will naturally say it easily and successfully. Received the stares of condemnation from all the people, and didn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

Mrs. Zhang smiled: "I wish my aunt and cousin could get married, but I have always been a helper and not a relative. The brat at home is more than ten years older than my niece. My good sister dare not say any more. I am afraid that brother-in-law Lin will hear her. From now on, I will never be allowed to visit the door again." Zhang said half-jokingly.

Those who are thoughtful around him will naturally agree, but don't be settled at a young age, then your family will have no chance at all.

"Big sister, you don't have to worry about Yu'er's marriage in the future. I think the emperor has another holy decision. It's just that my brat must have a headache for me." Zhang looked at Jiang Yingrong and added another sentence, giving another divine assist, making everyone present Everyone remembers that as the "Princess Moon", the marriage must be approved by the emperor.Even if you try to catch up, if the emperor can't pass the test, it will be a waste of effort.

"Sister-in-law was joking, Yan'er is smart and smart, so there is no need to worry. I have been looking forward to this jade for a long time. The master is so charming and doted on, so it must be in line with his wishes. I have no choice. What's more, if the decision is made early, in case the two children get bored in the future, there will be many troubles." Jiang Yingrong replied with a smile, and told everyone that the Lin family is not sure about the baby.

Mother Jia watched her aunt and sister-in-law sing together, blocking her plan completely, her already unwell body became weaker, and she bluntly said that she was unwell, regardless of Jiang Yingrong asking the doctor to take a pulse, she just said that she would go back home to rest.As a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang naturally has to serve her.

The author has something to say: a chapter that is a bit thick and long, I found out that it seems that Yuanchun came out too early, making her old~~~
