The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Wang Ziteng has been worrying a lot lately. Although he himself can get rid of the account checking by the household department, during the release period, two of his subordinates had dirty hands and feet.In these extraordinary times, he didn't care about his face, and disregarded the dignity of those two people who had served in the Wang family for generations, so he turned people around and reported them.Although it looks ugly, it was rewarded by the emperor, but Lin Mo smiled and said: "I know that these princes and grandchildren have been passed down for generations, and the older slaves are more rampant than the masters. If there is one, there will be two. If you want me to say, the king The servants of the lord should be controlled. I can’t see anything good or bad about your account now, so I’ll look at it later.” The heart that had just let him go lifted up again.

This man is really cold.

Just when the feet were not touching the ground, something happened to the niece and daughter.Two of the daughters of the Wang family married into the Jia family, but Mrs. Wang never spoke and had no relationship with the Shi family. Although Wang Xifeng was not her own daughter, she was raised by her side since she was a child. Shi has no daughter, so she is willing to treat her like a daughter and gain a good reputation.

Jia Lian stopped his wife and took the second room during the filial piety period, and he was still engaged. Anyone who saw this matter would scold him twice. The prince was trembling with anger, and asked Sister Feng who was crying back to her mother's house with her children: "What did your mother-in-law say? What did your aunt say?"

Sister Feng cried: "What else can mother-in-law say? You blame me for making this a big deal. It doesn't look good if the master knows it. Auntie? The second wife said that it's just that I don't give Lian'er face when I do things on weekdays, forcing him to have to Do this. Even the old lady only said that it was wrong for Lian'er to marry a concubine, but she didn't say that he did it improperly!"

Wang Ziteng sighed.He is also a man, his niece is domineering, and his nephew secretly married the second wife. He can understand it, but it is not okay for the daughter of the Wang family to be bullied like this.With Shi talking on the sidelines again, he also lost his temper: "Okay, okay, their Jia family is a wealthy family, and it doesn't matter if the son stops his wife and remarries during his filial piety. We can't afford it, so you just bring Qiaojiewei." Brother stays at home, and if he wants to rob other people's daughter-in-law, he will snatch it away. Nowadays, everyone is holding their breath, for fear of causing trouble, but he is good! Take him in yourself."

Sister Feng said angrily, "Uncle didn't see Jia Lian like that day. He wished that I wouldn't go back, so that he could directly support that woman as a grandmother!"

When Jia Lian came that day, he was shocked at first, and then regretful, only to see Sister Feng scolding him blatantly, disregarding his face with Jia Amnesty and Jia Rong, and asking Zhang Hua to take Second Sister You back. Mrs. You was crying and screaming, and immediately became annoyed, and also shouted and killed, but fortunately it was Jia Zhenyou and others who stopped her.Sister Feng cried and went back to find the old lady and Mrs. Xing to make decisions, but she was dismissed. Then she got angry and took her son and daughter back to her mother's house.

Wang Ziteng said angrily: "If he really dares, I will give up my old face and go to court with him!"

Jia Lian was really daring, he wouldn't listen to anyone's persuasion when he was so temperamental, but Jia She took a few whips on the spot to save face: "You just don't want your daughter-in-law, and you don't even want your son, do you?" Jia Lian just said His angry words softened when he mentioned Jia Wei, and went to the palace to pick him up.

The result has not been received yet.

Wang Ziteng snorted a few times, and didn't scold him, but said flatly: "Feng girl, I intend to keep her at home for a few days, you take care of that person outside, and we'll talk about the rest." It doesn't matter if he doesn't help persuade Sister Feng, but he also wants him to send Sister You away.It's just that this is not his daughter-in-law, not to mention slapping and cursing, he has to smile and beg Wang Ziteng to let him see Sister Feng.

"Miss Lin from the Jingyuanhou's Mansion posted a message, and she is going to the Jingyuanhou's Mansion today." Shi said with a smile, "Nephew and son-in-law, don't worry, the days will be long."

Wang Xifeng was not afraid to argue with him, if he wanted to keep his second sister, he would not even want to see his son or daughter.

Jia Lian really had no choice.Sister Feng was at Lin's house, so he didn't dare to pick her up. If no one else mentioned it, he knew the two mouths of cousin Lin and Mr. Jingning.Women always work together at this time, and he doesn't have to look for discomfort.

The quarrel between the husband and wife brought disaster to the whole family of Ningguo Mansion, especially You Shi, who had nothing to say in the mansion, but now that her natal family made such a joke, even Peifeng and Kailuan couldn't help it , the servants below are even more disobedient.She originally wanted to gain a reputation for being a virtuous person, but she is not as strict as Sister Feng's usual family management, and now the Ningguo Mansion is in a mess.Jia Zhen didn't care.

On the other hand, Jia Rong, who had beaten Jia Zhen twice that day, felt very wronged. When he invited Prince Yun to come over for tea, the bruises on his face hadn't gone down yet, but Shui Ji jumped up: " How is this going?"

Jia Rong shook her hand and said, "Don't mention it, something inappropriate happened at home."

Shui Ji didn't really ask the question at all, seeing that he didn't want to mention it, he naturally skipped it and said softly: "I heard that your aunt failed to marry Xueshi Liu's younger brother?" Convince a Shui Po and persuade him to win Lin Mo over.Unexpectedly, Lin Mo poached his corner instead, and Shui Fei not only talked to him, but when he came back, he lost all fighting spirit and returned to his previous cowardly appearance. He didn't give up. There is also a sister.

Too bad it's gone.

But it doesn't matter if it's gone, the friendship is still there.The Qin family married Sun Jiarong, the eldest son of the Ningguo Mansion.Who is Jia Rong?He is the son of the head of the Jia family, and the title of Ningguo Mansion will be his in the future.What is the purpose of such a person marrying his sister?Shui Ji is not too stupid, but after a little testing, Jia Rong really made friends with him.

The Jia family is very powerful, and Shui Ji wants to make good use of it.

Who knew that his question was yet another embarrassing matter for the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rong said with a sneer, "My third aunt is not blessed."

Shui Ji encountered two setbacks in a row, so he had no choice but to drink.After drinking for three rounds, Jia Qiang secretly came to ask if he wanted to have a play, Shui Ji hurriedly said: "No way, your family is still enjoying filial piety." Jia Rong invited him to go for a stroll in the garden.

The gardens of Ningguo Mansion are not as good as the Grand View Garden built with great fanfare for noble concubines to visit relatives, but they also have a special flavor.Although Shui Ji stayed in the imperial mausoleum for so many years, but he was born in the royal family, and he often interacted with Shui Rong and others when he came back. Looking at the garden of Ningguo Mansion, he felt that it was more than rich and not exquisite, so it was okay.

It's just that no one expected that there would be female relatives in the garden.

Shui Ji is also a respectful person, so he turned around quickly, but Jia Rong was winking, and introduced to You Shi and others: "This is the king of Yunjun, who came to worship grandfather." Then he said to Shui Ji, "Mrs. I am tired, I have an old illness, and I always hear that my aunts and aunts are coming to visit, but unexpectedly bump into the prince, I really did not entertain well."

You Shi waited in a hurry to salute.Those who came to visit her were a few great-grandsons and great-great-grandsons-in-law of the Ning family, as well as some grandmas and girls from the side branches. Youshi said that after all, the third sister's marriage with Xianglian was proposed by Xue Pan, and it didn't work out.Baochai said: "Mom is too worried, sister-in-law Zhen may not care about this." After all, it is here.Xue's family and Jia's family are also family friends, but Youshi really didn't care about it.

It's just that she didn't expect to meet a prince in Ningguo Mansion.

This prince, by chance, looks so much like Sister Lin's brother!

Lin Mo was handsome, with a literati air, more energetic than Shui Ji.Shui Ji's eyebrows and eyes were indescribably similar to Lin Mo's, but his expression was more gloomy, as if thick ink that could not be melted, or like misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which made her look crazy, but just one glance, but she lowered her head, ashamed Dare to be, I thought, it is the prince after all, such a rich and handsome man, I am afraid that Baoyu can't match it.

Shui Ji was going to leave immediately, but he was a little concerned when Jia Rong said that Ziwei was still there after she gave up.

Although the Xue family is no longer qualified to be an imperial merchant, the words "wealth can rival a country" are not just for words. The husband, on the other hand, is for the wealth behind the four major families.Now although the Xue family is rich in millions, his son is not a well-behaved material. He also heard about it, but he just glanced at it secretly. He said "it's a pity", but he took another look, but Jia Rong saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. When they turned back to the rockery to look at the plum blossoms, they said to him: "Ms. The guest at the head, her brother often plays with us, I really didn't know she was out today."

Shui Ji's heart moved, she said that, but she was a respectful daughter, and asked: "The Xue family is also everyone, why do you live in Rong Guogong's house?"

Jia Rong knew there was something going on, so she told the story of the Xue family's entry into Beijing in detail, and concealed the case of Xue Pan's beating to death, saying that he was confused: "Mrs. At home, you can try it only if you are restrained by your uncle."

Shui Ji said: "It can be seen that the vigorous family is afraid that they will not have any useful children and grandchildren." It is a pity that Baochai, a snow-like daughter, bears such a bad brother.

Jia Rong said again: "No, although Xue's family is a merchant, it is also a big family. Mrs. Xue was born in Wang's family, and she is the sister of Mr. Teng, the inspector of the nine provinces. Aunt Xue has such a good appearance, but she was troubled by this brother. Haven't talked about it yet."

Shui Ji rolled his eyeballs, but it was on his mind.

The wealth of the Xue family and the beauty of Xue Baochai both made him miss it very much.His concubine, Hu's family, was from the same family as Jia Rong's current Xu Xian. He was still in the imperial mausoleum when they got married, so the concubine's background is also limited, so she can't help him.It was the empress who rewarded several women in the imperial mausoleum one after another, and they were all unreliable, but at that time, in order to flatter the empress, they even conferred positions on them, which seems a pity now.

The monstrous wealth of the Xue family is really a great help to him now.

Although he is down and out, he is the King of Beijing after all.What are the four family charts?If she really had nothing to ask for, she wouldn't have asked Qin Keqing to marry her back then.Since he was interested, the Xue family was naturally overjoyed.

The only dissatisfaction is probably Mrs. Wang.She loves the wealth of Xue's family, and Baochai's gentleness and courtesy, and she has the heart to tell Baoyu.I only sigh that Baoyu doesn't understand the style, and the old lady is stubborn and refuses. The good marriage of gold and jade has turned out to be useless.

Baochai is modest, and everyone in the Rongguo Mansion loves her, and they all come to congratulate her.She also planned to move out from the Grand View Garden, thinking of Baoyu in her heart, but at the same time feeling helpless.Baoyu's voice, "Who said you want a good marriage with gold and jade, but I want an alliance with wood and stone" came out of a dream, but she heard it clearly.The Xue family is still rich now, but the older brother is not up to snuff, and I don't know how long this wealth can last, the Wang family is determined not to help, if they rely on the power of the Jia family, they can keep it.

She felt sore, Baoyu was thinking about sister Lin, if she really followed what her aunt said, how would she live in the future?Who would have expected her to meet a prince unexpectedly.

Tanchun has always been on good terms with her, and her sisters have left, but she is still alone.Baoyu looked back three times at a step, and was finally pulled away by Xiangyun, but Tanchun said, "Sister Bao is always shrewd, why is she confused this time?"

Baochai thought she was going to talk about Baoyu, so she forced a smile and said, "I'm not confused. Third sister, teach me."

"The King Yun, there is already a concubine in the mansion, even the four side concubines are complete. Sister Bao, what should I do?" But she didn't understand why Baochai jumped into the fire pit.

Baochai smiled bitterly and said: "He is a prince, can I refuse?" But he didn't think so in his heart. Trees are dead, but people are alive.She is confident that her background, talents, and appearance can overwhelm her concubine. As for the concubine, she sighed in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't afford it after all.

Thinking about it this way, those parting emotions have also diluted a little, leaving only complacency.

Tanchun really felt pity for herself.She thought with relief in her heart, held Tanchun's hand and said: "My good sister, I know you are as good as a man, and you have your own ideas in your heart. It's just that in this world, it's not good to be too strong. We have been here for so many years, and I am here now." At this time, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, you and your sister-in-law managed the garden well for a few days, but after all you got a little impatient, look at Feng girl, how can things go well? You have to be more careful."

Tanchun said with tears: "Of course I know that people like us look good on the outside, but on the inside, they are not as good as they were many years ago. Even if I don't fall behind, I am not afraid, what I am afraid of is that it will be useless in the end. , the one who hurts is myself."

The two sisters confided in each other for a while, but they cried a lot.

But on the other side, the emperor got the letter. Princess Beijing gave birth to a pair of daughters, but he himself disappeared.

"Prince Beijing's residence is hosting both weddings and funerals." He told Lin Mo that the monarch and his ministers were sitting in the pavilion without restraint, "The snow hasn't fallen yet, and the plum blossoms are no longer worth looking at." .”

Lin Mo nodded in agreement.But he knew in his heart that the one who got the water was his daughter, and his life was probably saved.

The emperor looked at him with a smile: "I heard it's your daughter-in-law? This time I have to choose."

"It's okay." Lin Mo didn't take it seriously, "I just want to have more sons."

The emperor knew his family education, and he knew about the number of boys and girls his wife had, so he was also happy, and said: "You have made up your mind to be the son and daughter of the King of Beijing."

Lin Mo said: "I can't change the appointment."

These words were filled with resentment, and they were talking about Rong Jia's oolong when he was a son-in-law.

The emperor looked at his young son with some relief and some sadness.This child is actually not very old, younger than his own princesses, but he is about to become a father.Sometimes he was very happy, the child was raised by Lin Qing very well, much better than the original plan to be raised by the nanny.But sad, if he is raised by a nanny, he may be a carefree and useless young man who doesn't know the price of firewood, so it is not uncommon for him to say "why not eat minced meat", just like the group of people standing in the palace that day Like a rich man on the outside and a rotten man on the inside.

But now, he knows the price of rice and oil in various places, give him a place name, he can quickly tell you the population and yield per mu of that place, give him the name of a dish, and he can even tell you the cost of materials. Come out, full of small household style.In fact, the Lin family is richer than many people.

The Lin family also puts a lot of effort into cooking, but it's expensive and not expensive. The owner's leftovers are left for the servants to eat, and they don't want to be extravagant and wasteful. They just make every move, which reveals everyone's modesty and simplicity.

Such a person, the study of emperors, is actually much better than his elder brothers.

At first, he only knew that Lin Qing could raise children, but after meeting Lin Che, he realized that Lin Qing not only knew how to raise Lin Mo, but also raised every one of his children well.

It's a pity that the princes and grandchildren of the real dragon emperor's family are very dignified, let alone raised like Lin Qing, some people will lose their heads when bumping into each other.

The emperor also told the empress about his thoughts, but the empress was not happy, she said: "If Taiyin is really useless, that would be fine." He also understood the empress's thoughts - so useful, but finally, Having to listen to what people do is really wronged the child.

After comparison, he found that the third child was acting perversely and lawlessly.The boss is more than smooth and decisive, not to mention the second, the fifth

It turned out that none of them were as good as Lin Mo.

With a long sigh, he asked Lin Mo, "None of the kings of Beijing in the past lived long."

Lin Mo laughed, with a pleading tone in his tone: "The water solution is worse, he only has a daughter."

The emperor snorted coldly: "Your friendship with him is really profound." He added, "Now there is no one else here. Your sister is with the queen. I presume that we will be a family from now on."

Lin Mo said hurriedly, not daring.

"Since that's the case, let me open up my heart and speak out. Since you can get along so well with the capital of Beijing Jing, why are you so clean with the Rongguo Mansion, hurting the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred, unlike It's your style."

Lin Mo asked, "Can I tell the truth?"

"Say,"

"When Weichen first entered Beijing, he rested in the Rongguo Mansion. A member of his family was born very well and could speak well. He said that he was outstanding among the great-great-grandsons of Jia's family and did great things. I asked, who is this person? What a big deal to do, but in the end, it was said to be in charge of the Jia family's theater." Lin Mo said, "A young man who stands out from the clan, even if he does this in their family, he can be regarded as a leader? According to this, there are thousands of members in the Jia family. , the rest are worse than this person. The three officials in the Jia family received a little salary, and the ancestral estates and shops were only those. How could they support so many people? At that time, Weichen thought, such relatives are still It's better to be far away."

The relationship with the Rongguo Mansion was severed, firstly, because his family's female family members thought too much about him, and secondly, it was because his family's men were really useless.

It is Jia Zheng, whom Jia's mother loves wholeheartedly, who is useless in studying, has no achievements in office, has no job in housekeeping, and has no success in teaching children.With such a relative, there is no help for him.

The emperor was taken aback.

Lin Mo is too accurate in judging people.

He originally thought that by picking a prince, the new king would be able to support Lin Mo and keep him safe in the future.Looking at it now, the new monarch will rely on Lin Mo for assistance in the future.

He had to think again, Lin Qing really knows how to raise children.
