The Prince of the Historian of the Red Chamber

"Master, go and have a look quickly, the girl has fainted." Xiao Yaoer on the second door came in out of breath and said urgently.

For example, Hai is testing the knowledge of Shi Mo's nephews and nephews with his colleagues and old friends. Although Shi Mo and Jia Huan are young, they are quick-witted and quick-witted, and they give Ru Hai a lot of face. language.

"What?!" Ru Hai was shocked, but he was wise and indifferent, and he still maintained his composure at the moment, and said with a frown: "Young lady's body has long since recovered, and she was in good spirits when she greeted me this morning. Sister Rongfu and her good friends, besides, there are uncles and wives here today... What's going on? Let's find out clearly!" Although the words were organized, the nervousness was palpable.

The clever Chang Sui by his side had already taken Lin Ruhai's post, and immediately went to invite the imperial doctor, and then went to the nearest medical center to invite the doctor and the medical lady.

Several old friends knew that this old Lin Ge only had this daughter, whom she loved more than anything else, and they all urged him: "No matter what, let's go and see the child first."

Lin Ruhai was sitting still, and the people sitting in the room were all smart people. After a little thought, she understood: now there is no mistress in the Lin residence, and I heard that she is the abbot of an old friend in the residence. Miss Lin is quite young. Some are clear and bright, but there is no serious female family member in the backyard. Now that the uncle and wife of the Rongguo family are here, old friends must avoid suspicion and avoid gossip.

After a while, one of Daiyu's nuns, Lin Zhong's family who was in charge of needlework, came in to pay a visit. Lin Zhong's complexion was red, eye circles were swollen, and chest was swollen, obviously very angry.Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Du Qu Jingwei couldn't help it, but his eldest daughter, Qu Lingtong, is now a guest in the back house of the Lin Mansion. Qu Lingtong is the youngest child of him and his wife, and also a member of the Qu family's generation. Although the first daughter is not as good as Lin Ruhai's love of daughters, she is not a "favorite".

At this time, he didn't care about this family matter, Qu Jingwei said: "What's the matter, but my little girl is naughty, and she had an argument with niece Lin?" What Lin Ruhai said made Lin Ruhai want to avoid the guests' inquiries. no.

Lin Zhong's family looked at Lin Ruhai, Ruhai could only nod his head and said solemnly: "What's going on, just tell me!"

Only then did Lin Zhong's family kowtow and said: "Miss Qu is the most popular figure in Jiyueguangfeng. The three girls who come to the house are the best, and they have the same temperament. How could such a thing happen." Jiao, as if he was a bit embarrassed to speak, looked at Lin Ruhai's cold face before continuing:

"This is too deceitful, master! Even if I sold my servant afterwards, I have to say it!... The second uncle and wife suddenly came to see the girl. Although the girl was surprised, she was very happy, and said that she would take the three of them as guests." The girl introduced to the Rongfu sisters... Who would have thought that the two expensive things given by the uncle and wife actually had our Lin family's logo on them, and the three girls inadvertently saw it... The uncle and wife suddenly fainted and woke up. When they came over, they scolded the girl loudly, but Miss Qu, Zhu Xianzhu, and Miss Wang couldn't see it. They said a few words for the girl, but they provoked the wrath of the uncle and wife... The girls were extremely embarrassed, but they didn't expect that there was something in the bag. ...The old thing, Lord Zhu is so hot-tempered, he took the scissors and wanted to wring it out, and wept again and again in anger..."

"Master! You also know that it's not something our family uses, so we can't take the time to engrave the Lin family's logo. Uncle and wife... Besides, when they were in Rongfu, this uncle and wife used to treat the girl..."

"Shut up!" Lin Ruhai yelled angrily, but she didn't let her speak out.

Lin Zhong's eyes were red, his mouth was tightly pursed, and he knelt on the ground and dared not speak any more.

It's just that if she doesn't tell, others don't know?

A few of you also came out of the deep courtyard during the banquet, and you know a thing or two about the secrets in the backyard, and you can understand it after a little turn around: like the Lin family, which has a rich family of scholars for many years, there are often private objects My own compilation is also a kind of inheritance.This valuable item with the imprint of the Lin family is obviously belonging to the only daughter of the old friend. Thinking about it, this girl from the Lin family lived in Rongguo Mansion for a few years before, and everyone knows what is going on--I am afraid that the old friend The things that are given to the only daughter every year are so ignorant that the Rongguo Mansion has bought a lot.

The rumors of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion in the capital are indeed very bad. Not only the masters of the family, but also the slaves are also unsightly. The girl's boudoir name is known outside, and the boudoir name of the innocent girl's family is chewed up by some rascals and lazy people in the market, and only the Jia family can have such a thing.

Everyone thought about it, but they wanted to praise the old friend's daughter in their hearts. She was worthy of being a lady of a scholarly family. She had lived in Jia's family for several years, but there was no word about this Miss Lin outside. It can be seen that she is a excellent.

At this time, Qu Jingwei also vaguely remembered that the Jia family seemed to have a third girl nicknamed "Thorn Rose" and Xue Baochai, a "virtuous girl", and his face suddenly became dark: If he had known that the kicker from the Jia family was here today, he would have said anything. Tell Madam to detain Lingtong at home, hum!What kind of people are there!

Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw his old friend's pale face and veined fist, Qu Jingwei couldn't help but feel sympathy, and suddenly got a jolt, but remembered what the servant girl had just ignored - old thing?What old thing?What kind of old things can make that girl Zhu Qing angry?

"Ruhai! This!..." Qu Shangshu felt inappropriate when he wanted to speak, so he had to keep his mouth shut, his heart churning, this Jia Wang family is too vicious, even wanting to harm the reputation of his niece, if, if Even if he offends Concubine Jia Gui in the palace if he hurts his own daughter, he will have to go around the Rongguo Mansion!

(It’s a misunderstanding, Father Lin’s name is Lin Hai, and his character is like Hai, so Father Qu is just calling him by his name, there is no adultery...)

Lin Ruhai seemed to be a few years older in an instant, unable to wave his hand and ordered Lin Zhong's family to step down, and then pleaded guilty to several close friends.

The adults couldn't delay any longer, so they could only comfort their old friends with vague words, and left one after another.

Qu Jingwei was worried about his daughter and didn't want to leave, so he and Lin Ruhai had been friends for decades and asked to sit in the tea room.Lin Ruhai hurriedly ordered his nephews Shi Mo and Jia Huan to accompany him, and he hurried to the backyard without caring about anything else.

From the beginning to the end, none of these people gave Jia Baoyu who was standing there dumbfounded.

Shi Mo and Jia Huan looked at each other, Jia Huan secretly let go of Jia Baoyu's hand, and respectfully invited Master Qu to sit in the tea room.

When the adults came out, they still didn't sigh, and simply went to the teahouse and asked for a private room to talk.

After taking a sip of tea, Lu Peng, the most upright servant of the Ministry of War, said angrily: "Ignorant and poisonous woman! Ignorant and poisonous woman!"

These few people have a deep friendship with Lin Ruhai, so they naturally flock together like a feather, and they are generally very good-natured, their families are clear, and their back houses are peaceful—who The smart and well-behaved girl who was not spoiled by the family was completely angry when she saw her niece being framed like this.

"Hey, Awl, say something! Usually you talk the most and have a poisonous mouth, why do you become dumb when you use it?" Lu Peng rolled his eyes at the elegant tea-sipping man next to him. He is quite old, what are you pretending?

Qin Xuan glanced coldly, and said lightly: "You brat! What are you talking about? Is it useful to say that!" Putting the porcelain cup on the table, he calmly said, "What's the hurry, it's about my niece, we can't say anything , However, regardless of the age of the Rongguo mansion, there are some talkers." ——Although he is not the censor, he is the censor's father.Rumor has it that there is something going on, the Rongning and Ningfu are in such a mess, and no one is allowed to talk about it?

……

After all, these few people have also heard about the harsh treatment of their granddaughter by the Rongguo Mansion. They naturally know who this granddaughter is, and what they are doing now is for the sake of an old friend; secondly, it is for the daughter of an old friend They were treated harshly in the capital, but these uncles and uncles didn't know the slightest bit, and felt guilty for not letting the wife in the backyard take care of them.

****************

Qu Jingwei was sitting in the tea room drinking tea, although his expression was not obvious, but he was very anxious in his heart: This girl's boudoir reputation is beyond words, even if today's incident was framed by Mrs. Jia Wang, if it spreads, I'm afraid it will still be Some people will criticize niece Lin, and even her own Lingtong, I am afraid that she will suffer from it.

Jia's?Hmph, but they have formed a relationship with their old Qu family!

However, he was too worried. No word of what happened today will be spread, not to mention that the rules in the Lin residence are very strict. Those who know about this matter are all confidantes, even the few friends invited by Lin Ruhai , can also hide things, and have a strong friendship.As for Mrs. Wang, Xue Baochai and others, Lin Ruhai was sure that they would not dare to speak out beforehand—and he had to help them hide it. You must know that the things he gave Yu'er back then were more than just this one. Two pieces, not to mention Jia Wang's family, even the old lady of Jia's mansion and the Xue family have more than one or two pieces in their hands, but he knows that not half of the original things fell into Yu'er's hands.These items alone can make those in Jia's mansion keep silent again and again. It is at a critical time for Concubine Jia in the palace. Character will also be questioned, and this alone can make the Queen's party seize the opportunity to make a big fuss under the name of "doing something wrong".

In the inner courtyard, Lin Ruhai's face was ashen. Fortunately, the imperial physician said: "Ling Ai is not in the way, she fainted because of her anger. Just don't get angry again after waking up, so you can take care of it for half a month."

After ordering someone to send the imperial physician respectfully, Lin Ruhai glanced at Mrs. Wang, and said lightly, "Send my uncle, wife, and some girls back to the mansion. Yu'er is sick and should rest." This means that people from the Rongguo Mansion are not welcome.

Wang's face was pale and sallow, and she didn't know how to react, but Xue Baochai stepped forward, bowed Yingying, and said with concern with half tears in her eyes: "Sister Lin, why is she so weak? Is it because of us?" If she's tired, it's better to let my niece stay with her, so that she can talk to my sister to relieve her boredom..."

Lin Ruhai's heart was full of anger, this girl from Xue's family was the one who turned black and white without blinking an eye, could it be that they still knew that they didn't know the whole story, and wanted to stay so they could control Yu'er's success?

As he was, he didn't want to argue with this junior face to face, but when he was watching Mrs. Wang talking, he saw a person coming out of Daiyu's boudoir.

Zhu Qing sneered unceremoniously: "I have seen thick-skinned people before, but I have never seen such shameless nonsense! Miss Xue is a good girl, but she wants to learn from those colorful faces on the stage. Really called this county Lord, open your eyes! You should hurry up and leave. Uncle Lin and Sister Yu'er are kind-hearted. If they don't speak out, they will save you a little face. This county lord can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Since such a thing has been done , don't even think about denying it!... There is no need to talk about those reputation rules. Today, with the testimony of the county lord, no matter how hard it is, you can't turn the world around. Besides, what kind of hearts do you have, fools will understand! ——The county lord Just to make things clear here: let’s not talk about other things for now, if there is anything about the words of sister Yu’er, Qu, Wang and the county head, the county head will tell the grandfather about it. I would like to see, such vicious thoughts, dare to stain the eyes of the county lord, the clan mansion will not tolerate you? How can Concubine Jia Gui in the palace explain?!"

Zhu Qing is a dignified head of the clan and county. Her grandfather is not like a prince with a foreign surname like the four princes and eight princes, but an upright old prince with a very high seniority. There are four or five older sisters, and her title will definitely not be just a county head. Of course, when she reaches the age of Ji, there is naturally a will to be named a county head.

When Zhu Qing said this, her face was full of smiles, and her tone was as calm as flowing water, but the meaning in the words was that Mrs. Wang was like falling into the nine hells. Qing's eyes seemed to be seeing a Raksha ghost.

Throwing the words out, Zhu Qing bowed to Ruhai and said with a smile, "Uncle Lin, it's my niece who broke the rules, don't blame uncle. Sister Yu'er woke up just now, please invite uncle in, niece will leave first, and stay for two days Come see her again."

Qu Lingtong and Wang Lianniang saluted behind her, Lin Ruhai hurriedly ordered Daiyu's chaperoning mother and housekeeper's wife to see them off.

Mrs. Wang waited under Zhu Qing's sharp eyes, and rushed out.

When the glamorous car of Rongguo Mansion drove up, Mrs. Wang's face was ashen. Even Jia Baoyu asked "what's the matter, how is sister Lin?"
