The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Rong Mingqian is an old official. Although he has the reputation of being a stern and selfless man, but in actual contact, he feels that he is as exquisite as others. With a background that is not too rich, he is still the governor of a province. The governor of this kind of scholarly place also has some interpersonal skills.

Baoyu was impatient at first, but after drinking two cups of wine, he didn't listen to Rong Mingqian talking about his career and economics, so he became happy.On the contrary, Wei Yanen was very anxious. People in their official circles, the most taboo is this kind of Tai Chi, but Rong Mingqian is still a veteran in this field.Now that the situation in the capital is complicated and confusing, he went to Beijing ahead of time. As soon as he entered Beijing, he met his magical uncle and nephew. He had some news about what was going on, but he couldn't ask for anything.

"Haha, on the way I came here, I heard someone say that Mr. Wei stole the limelight this time, and they said that the Wei family might have another son-in-law!" Rong Mingqian said, "Your Mr. It's not that I said that at a young age, I was too reserved, but I let go of my hands and feet this time, and the harvest is quite big."

What can Wei Ruzhu gain if he can't run a horse or bow?He was just lying in ambush in Concubine Yuan's tent with Concubine Wei, and rushed out when King Zhongshun's men made their words clear, and was caught off guard.This matter has not been sealed, it spread, and some say that Concubine Yuan sacrificed her life to save the emperor, which is a good story about a gifted scholar and beautiful woman, but the Wei family father and son understand it very well. But the reputation is gone. Of course, the emperor doesn't mind raising a woman in the harem, but how to raise it is hard to say.What's more, why did King Zhongshun choose Concubine Yuan's tent?How could the emperor guess it?I didn't trust it before.

It's just that the Wei family father and son didn't dare to yell about this matter, and even the eldest princess didn't say much, so Wei Yan'en didn't know much about it, and it was only Concubine Yuan who made a great contribution this time. , but it can be overwhelmed, so today he came to be a lobbyist enthusiastically, and now he heard Rong Mingqian mention the siege, and said calmly: "He can't compare to Lord Lin."

"If parents and elders in this world all compare their offspring with Taiyin, then let them go. For example, my second son, Rong Jia, is also working in Taichang Temple now. Brother Wei, you have seen him too. He is not stupid, but he is really not as good as Taiyin, no matter what. Do you know why? When Taiyin was studying, he dared to sleep only two hours a day for twelve hours, eating and drinking water. Reading books, not to mention the head hanging from the beam, the awl piercing the buttocks, and he doesn't even have the time to take a nap. If such a child doesn't take the exam for the first prize, how about the two of our family who don't study hard?"

Wei Yanen said hastily: "Lord Xiao Rong has worked hard enough, it's not common for young people to be as down-to-earth as him nowadays."

"Hey, sometimes the predecessors open the way too wide for the future generations, and the future generations don't know how to work hard." Rong Mingqian said, "Seeing Taiyin's future, I feel very distressed, this child."

After hearing this, Baoyu thought to himself, everyone has their own difficulties, and this Lin Mo is not easy, but why is it that other brothers who are not easy are not as aggressive as him?Moreover, the 360-year-old No. [-] scholar, this person is also determined, but Sister Lin followed him, although she suffered less grievances, but there were so many things. If she was in the Rongguo Mansion, she would not need to worry about everything like she is now.

She also thought that Lin Mo was injured this time, and sister Lin was going to be sad again. She wondered if she was crying.

Who knew that Rong Mingqian changed the subject: "It's a pity that he got engaged early, otherwise, such a son-in-law would be the best."

Wei Yan'en also said: "That's not true." He remembered that there were four girls in the Rong family, who were engaged or not, and who were in fact with the Liu family.

On the contrary, Rong Mingqian said generously: "It's a pity." He glanced at Baoyu again, "Did the second son get married?"

Baoyu blushed, at a loss, and suddenly thought of Daiyu.I haven't seen her for a long time now, how is sister Lin doing?She hadn't heard of Xu Xia's family, but she heard from Sister Bao that Sister Lin's status was different from theirs, and she would definitely be able to go in next year's general election.Although he didn't know what the general election was, since his eldest sister entered the palace, he only came back once.

When Yuanchun entered the palace, Baoyu was only three years old, but the eldest sister held him in her arms and taught him to read and write, so he still remembered it. Now that the eldest sister has become a master, he still remembers Yuanchun. The tears shed when visiting relatives were only mentioned briefly, and Jia's mother stopped drinking. Now, is even sister Lin going to suffer like this?

He couldn't help feeling like a knife was piercing his heart, and suddenly his mind moved, thinking of the jokes that Sister Feng had played with him in the past, and unconsciously said: "Sister Lin..."

Rong Mingqian's expression was suffocated, he put the cup in his hand on the table, and with a secret force, the ceramic cup was inserted into the table.

"Second Young Master is innocent and innocent, but he is past the age of Tongyan Wuji." He smiled at Jia Zheng, "Don't say what you shouldn't say. You should understand this little truth."

Jia Zheng was also taken aback, hating Baoyu for not having a brain. What is the status of the Lin family now?Jia Baoyu, a son of the Duke's Mansion, is a child of an aristocratic family, the second master of the Jia family. Unfortunately, he has no title and no fame. Can the Lin family like it?What's more, the four great aristocratic families are outstanding in Jinling, but they also know that the Lin family is not weak. Just from the two shining blue and white exquisite porcelain in the hall, it can be seen that the Lin family has accumulated for several generations, and it is probably still higher than the Jia family. .

Such a family, and the niece has such a personality, would you choose a good family?

Jia Zheng is usually not the kind of person who thinks highly of himself, and Baoyu is not pleasing to the eye no matter what. If he is asked to evaluate Jia Baoyu, it is probably... wishful thinking.

"You don't have the right to talk about this kind of thing!" He shouted, "Things that don't last long!"

Baoyu was always afraid of him, but now she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to say a word, but she secretly made up her mind to ask her ancestors.

Who knows, not long after returning home, I heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

"Rong Jia?" he asked.

"No, Mr. Song's wife is the matchmaker," Sister Feng said, "I heard that the date of birth has been counted, so it's appropriate."

Jia Mu said: "Isn't it said that it's not auspicious if it's the same year and it's not been a hundred days?"

"It's auspicious or inauspicious, it's useless to say it." Sister Feng said, "What else do these two families care about auspicious or inauspicious? Our second sister seems to be going to be sister-in-law with Sister Lin now. "

"This sister-in-law is not easy to be. It's a little bit reluctant to be the eldest daughter-in-law of a rich family." Jiamu said, "Although it's a sequel, it's a bit too cowardly. I'm afraid it will be difficult to be the main family in the future. .”

Sister Feng secretly thanked Mrs. Xing for not being there, otherwise the scene would be really ugly, so she reminded her in a low voice: "Old lady, Miss Lin's temperament is not to fight or grab, no matter how bad it is, you forgot, the wife of the Rong family is still here." Here, she is still young, and she wants to welcome a girl to be the master of the house, so it will take another 20 years?"

These words touched Mrs. Wang's heart, she sighed and said: "We are lucky to welcome the girl, and it is also a pity."

The continuation of the eldest son of the Rong family, Rong Xi will still have a title in the future, so he can earn Yingchun a royal order no matter what, and Rong Xi has also passed the examination of scholar, and he will end next year. I heard that learning is not bad, just look at it That Rong Mingqian's stern look can't teach a son who is too bad.

As for Rong Jia, who was born as a Jinshi, became an official at a young age, and bought a house in the capital, he probably didn't plan to return to Shandong, but Daiyu could be directly in charge of the family when Daiyu came in.

Although two young couples can't be considered a big family, but Lin Mo and his wife, weren't they just such a big family back then?But the family is not big and the business is big, it is really the most refreshing and refreshing day.

As for Lin Mo, why did he choose such a brother-in-law? He agreed readily: "Young boy, you can find me yourself, and say you should follow the rules of the Lin family."

"The Lin family's rules?" Shui Rong wondered.

"You can take a concubine only if you have been married for ten years and have no children." Lin Mo said these words softly, and said with a smile, "Although I am a man, the hearts of all girls in the world are generally the same. A few concubines, some of them were promoted to aunts, my aunt is much higher than the teacher in terms of her life, but she always envies the teacher."

Shui Rong said: "Rong Jia, kid, if he can negotiate with you, he will be promising in the future."

"There are a lot of people who can negotiate terms with me." Lin Mo said, "As long as they don't think about taking advantage of me at the beginning, how many people can negotiate terms with me?"

Shui Rong said: "Is that why you spared this brat Jia Baoyu?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Isn't it waiting for you to make a move?"

The two were talking, when a person in charge came to report: "Your Majesty, King Yun Jun handed over the card."

"Ji Zhi, why is he here?" Shui Rong wondered.

Lin Mo said: "In that case, I'll go back first." He was here to deliver the notes from the account department, and to try out the newly made wheelchair, but now that he has other guests, he wants to leave.

Shui Rong rarely sees him, and intends to keep him for dinner.

But Lin Mo signaled Shen Bao to push the cart quickly: "Young Junwang, I don't want to run into him."
