The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

Lin Chen is considerate and gentle, and has a handsome face, he is simply the perfect candidate for the husband-in-law of many daughters-in-law.Furthermore, in order to win over the Gu family, he treated the daughter of the Gu family who was raised in the palm of his hand, and was very gentle and gentle. The two married less than three days, and he coaxed Gu Yanran to treat him as a husband-in-law. Very satisfied.

According to the customs of the Yong Dynasty, three days after the wedding, it is the day when the bride returns home.

On this day, the young couple got up early, and after washing up, they took each other to the main courtyard to greet Lin Hai.At this time Daiyu also arrived, and when she saw the two of them coming, she didn't want to tease her new sister-in-law, but she didn't have to be polite to Lin Chen: "In the past, my brother needed half a stick of incense to come here. I don't know why, but today I come here." It's early." He covered half of his face with the round fan in his hand, leaving only a pair of nimble eyes narrowly watching the two of them.

Gu Yanran is a new daughter-in-law who hasn't returned home yet, so she can't answer her sister-in-law's words, so she can only hang her head down, pretending to be shy, and only secretly observe Lin Chen's actions.

Lin Chen really protected her, and scolded Daiyu with a smile: "Little girl, why are you so talkative! If your sister-in-law returns home today, can your brother and I delay?" The two laughed back and forth, Just now they went to the main courtyard together to greet Lin Hai.

My daughter wanted to return home, so the Gu family naturally got ready early, and the immediate relatives also arrived at the main room of Gu's mansion early, waiting to take a good look at the new son-in-law later, and Madam Gu even left in half an hour. I want to ask my uncle if they are here.

When it was almost noon, I finally heard an old woman running in from outside the second gate, and shouted beamingly: "Grandpa and aunt have returned!" Gu Yanran's brothers and sisters-in-law hurriedly got up and went to the second gate to welcome the couple in person. Come in.

Let's not talk about how Lin Chen saluted the elders one by one, but once Gu Yanran returned home, seeing the familiar scenery everywhere, it seemed like a world away, with mixed feelings in her heart, she couldn't help but shed tears while hugging her mother.Mrs. Gu has two daughters, but she is the only one who can keep her by her side. Naturally, she cherishes her dearly. When she sees her daughter crying, her heart is also sour, and she also shed tears.

The mother and daughter cried terribly, and there were several family members of the Gu family sitting in the hall, and at this time, they all wiped away their tears together.The male members of the Gu family were again separated by a screen, and Lin Chen was left sitting alone in the hall, surrounded by crying female relatives, and he was very embarrassed at the moment.Fortunately, the banquet started soon, and Lin Chen, the new son-in-law, naturally had to go outside to have a drink with a bunch of brothers-in-law, which resolved the embarrassment.

The Gu family's poems and rites are inherited, and the children in the family are all well-read poems and books. Even the daily narration is often quoted from the classics and every word. Lin Chen does as he pleases. Pick up the book bag.After such a back and forth, and after a feast of wine, Lin Chen got to know everyone very quickly, and he became less polite and became more intimate when speaking.

But not long after the meal, the brothers of the Gu family were about to play chess with Lin Chen, but they were disturbed by the butler of the Gu residence - the father-in-law wanted to see his son-in-law, and he was waiting in the study.

Gu Qingyan regards his daughter as a treasure, so he is naturally very picky about his son-in-law, and he is extremely picky.At the beginning, Mrs. Zhuang Jiang was the matchmaker for the Gu Lin family. Although this marriage had his own political considerations, in order not to wrong his daughter, he also carefully inspected Lin Chen for several days. He was different from the common dandies in Beijing, so he made up his mind and promised him his own pearl.

Now that Lin Chen can get acquainted with his younger generation so quickly, Gu Qingyan is naturally very satisfied with his skills, and is also happy to give pointers to young people.

----------Dividing line----------

The men had a banquet in the outside room, and that was to entertain the new son-in-law. Naturally, Gu Yanran didn't need such politeness, and it was much earlier to end the banquet with the female relatives.Although they were curious in their hearts, the female relatives were extremely winking. After the banquet, they only exchanged a few words of greeting, and then left one after another, so that the mother and daughter could talk about their innermost feelings.

Seeing that everyone had left, Mrs. Gu took her daughter into the inner room. The two still cried for a while, and Gu Yanran wiped her tears and said with a smile: "It's a good thing to go home, I have been crying, I can't say It also makes my mother think that the Lin family has treated me badly."

Mrs. Gu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "They dare! What a blessing it is to be able to marry the daughter of the Gu family. If you bully you, just tell your mother, and your mother will immediately ask your brother to tie up the uncle and teach him a lesson. "

Even though she knew that her mother was joking, Gu Yanran still felt that her heart was burning, and hurriedly said: "Everyone in the Lin family treats me well, my sister-in-law is kind, and the servants are polite, and he, he... treat me well."

Mrs. Gu saw that although her daughter was flushed with shame, but her expression was extremely sweet, she was more than half relieved, but she was still worried about another thing: "I know you are shy as a newlywed, so you can't go out easily these three days. It’s just that you pay attention on weekdays, how are the maids serving by my uncle’s side behave?”

It stands to reason that after the men get married, the maids who were serving the young master but have no names and no distinctions, if they are favored, they will also be rewarded with a status after meeting the mistress, and they will be honored. For concubines.Such a maid who grew up with the young master, because she has a childhood friendship with the young master, already has a place in the young master's heart, and she is very clear about the young master's preferences, so she will often become the mistress of the newly married and not well-established mistress. rival.

The reason why Mrs. Gu asked her daughter was also out of such concerns.If Lin Chen really had some foxes around her, she wouldn't be afraid. She married her daughter with a few outstanding and obedient girls, and she would never let one or two foxes turn the world upside down.

But she didn't want to hear her question, but Gu Yanran's expression became even sweeter. She lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, and said embarrassingly: "That day my daughter visited her in-laws (the mother-in-law is a tablet), but when she came back, there was no one serving tea. I also asked him and my uncle about this." She raised her head, her eyes brightened, and she said to her mother excitedly: "However, my uncle said that the maids around him will be released in the future. He also said, he also talked about their future destination, and let the daughter make up her mind..."

When she thought that her husband and son-in-law were so considerate, and even gave up the maid who had served her since she was a child, Gu Yanran felt so sweet in her heart.

Mrs. Gu is not as optimistic as her daughter. She has been married to the Gu family for decades, and she knows the character of a man very well.For a young man like Lin Chen, the most indispensable thing around him is a steady stream of women. Now, in order to coax Gu Yanran and win over the Gu family, Lin Chen can casually dismiss all the maids who have served him for several years. It can be seen that this uncle is not a person who can be easily influenced by women.

It's just that the young couple just got married, and it's the time when they are sweet and loving. Gu Yanran also needs a period of time to get familiar with the Lin family's personnel and get in touch with her husband's family.These words were told to Gu Yanran, whether she would listen to it or not, or she would say it, even if she listened to it, it would only increase her daughter's troubles, and it might affect the relationship between the young couple, so Mrs. Gu could only say the words Buried in my heart, I want to wait for the right time to say goodbye to my daughter.

Afterwards, the mother and daughter naturally talked about the Lin family's personnel affairs. In fact, Gu Qingyan was able to marry his daughter so readily. Apart from the fact that the Lin family is really a good family, there is one more thing - the Lin family has no The mistress has only one daughter in charge, Gu Yanran can be the head of the house as soon as she gets married, and she doesn't have to serve her mother-in-law.For this alone, I don't know how many wives are envious.

But Mrs. Gu misjudged Daiyu's ability, she thought she was a girl who had not left the court, although she was taught by the nuns in the palace, how could she be so good.But she didn't expect Gu Yanran to tell herself that the servants of Lin's family are all polite in advancing and retreating, obeying orders and prohibiting them, they are on duty during the day and they are also meticulous at night, and the family rules are strict and not inferior to Gu's family, which shows that Daiyu is a good housekeeper.

Having a sister-in-law who is a good housekeeper is not a good thing for the newly married future mistress...
