When Yongzheng dressed as Lin Ruhai

Compared with Lin Daiyu's previous birthday banquets, Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu's are naturally not comparable, but for concubines, they are not bad.

As for Lin Ruhai, any knowledgeable person would come to him, so Lin Ruhai didn't think about inviting four princes and eight princes, but the four princes and eight princes still came uninvited.Simply, except for the king of Nan'an County who has military power, the rest of them just have titles but no real power, which is not too eye-catching.

And the Lin family didn't have any female family members in charge, so Lin Ruhai specially invited Mrs. Xing to sit in charge, so it wasn't too ugly.After all, Jia She and Mrs. Xing are serious relatives, so Lin Ruhai asked Jia She to help entertain the guests.

Because Lin Ruhai is an official with real power, if the officials he associates with can have friendship with Jia Amnesty, then it will be a way to network in the future.Therefore, Jia Amnesty is willing to agree, and it can be regarded as a familiarity in front of a group of officials with real power.

In addition to officials from the court and some close relatives, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's family also came.

To be honest, at first Jia Zheng could still pretend to be noble, but after moving out of Rongguo Mansion, his life and work became more and more difficult as a low-level official. Then he discovered that Rongguo Mansion was his reliance .Now that there is no reliance, those Qing Ke who were attached to Jia Zheng as plaintiffs also dispersed one after another, and Jia Zheng began to face the reality.

How could Jia Zheng, who had lived a good life for decades, still want to be an ordinary fifth-rank official?Moreover, the salary of a fifth-rank official is not as good as the monthly salary when he was in Rongguo Mansion. He can't even afford some better cloth materials, and he will no longer have delicacies from mountains and seas.

The so-called transition from frugality to extravagance is easy, but from extravagance to frugality is difficult. In just a few days, Jia Zheng couldn't hold it anymore. He only felt that the life of heaven for decades had now turned into hell.

Therefore, in order to get rid of such a life, Jia Zheng felt that he should do something.

But what should be done?

Jia Zheng was unwilling to bow his head to his elder brother Jia She, whom he had always looked down upon, so he turned his mind on Lin Ruhai.After living in poverty for a period of time, Jia Zheng's face has thickened a lot, and when he was in Rongguo Mansion, he always pretended to be foolish and filial, and lived in Rongxi Hall, which can only be lived as a family member. He is not really a noble and upright person himself, but uses his noble and upright image to deceive the world, but in fact he is just a villain.

Now this villain wants to go back to the extravagant and extravagant days of the past, so he naturally wants to get Lin Ruhai's help.

But Lin Ruhai doesn't have a deep friendship with Jia Zheng, so how can he get Lin Ruhai's help?

The answer is marriage.

Coincidentally, Jia Zheng has a son who is just one year older than Lin Ruhai's daughter Lin Daiyu. Isn't Lin Qingyu a good choice? !

Jia Zheng had some calculations in his mind, so when Lin Ruhai held a banquet for Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu's birthdays, Jia Zheng would naturally bring Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu to have a drink together.

Mrs. Wang has the same thoughts about the Lin family as Jia Zheng, but her attention is different from Jia Zheng's, and her vision is much higher than Jia Zheng's, because she is not interested in Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu, but has been promoted to the emperor. Lin Daiyu, the princess of Xianya, the righteous daughter of the emperor.

In Mrs. Wang's opinion, in the past, Lin Daiyu was stingy and venomous, and she was not worthy of her precious son at all.And what she values ​​more is Xue Baochai who can help her, and the dowry that Xue Baochai brought after marrying into Jia's family.

It's just that she didn't expect that Xue Wang and Xue Baochai had even more ambitions. They never thought of marrying into Jia's family, but wanted to enter the palace to accompany them.

In addition, Lin Daiyu has now become the adopted daughter of the emperor and the princess. In the eyes of Mrs. Wang, she feels that she is barely worthy of her precious son and can be the daughter-in-law of the Jia family.

Therefore, after Mrs. Wang knew Jia Zhengren's thoughts, she no longer had the same reluctance as before, but instead of Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu, she set her sights on Lin Daiyu.

However, no matter what intentions Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had in mind, it didn't matter to Lin Ruhai, because he never took these people seriously.

Although the birthday banquet was extremely grand, Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu were little girls after all, they only played in the inner courtyard with the little girls who came to celebrate their birthday, and they seemed extraordinarily carefree.

Although Mrs. Wang set her sights on Lin Daiyu, she couldn't be too cold towards Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu, and she also wanted to be approachable so as to gain Lin Daiyu's favor.So, she swept away her cold attitude towards the Lin family in the past, and wanted to chat with Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu very amiably.

It's a pity that Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Wang after they went to the Rongguo Mansion once. Now that she wants to come forward, she doesn't think it's interesting. Being restrained by the identity of the proprietor, it is not easy to save Mrs. Wang's face, so I can only endure it.

Simply, it wasn't long before Mrs. Wang showed her love to them, and Lin Ruhai told her to watch the two girls carefully, so that they couldn't be separated by the nurses who were spoiled by Jia Wang's, and said with a smile "The two girls are birthday stars today. Although Mrs. Jia is a relative, you can't just care about Mrs. Jia and neglect her guests. The time is right now, why don't you go to toast, after all, distinguished guests There are too many, it is not good to be left out in the cold."

The nanny's words suited Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu's feelings, she hurriedly nodded in yes, and then she bid farewell to Madam Wang, saying that she was going to entertain other guests.

It's a pity that Mrs. Wang originally planned to take advantage of the large number of people now to say something about how much her precious son admires Lin Daiyu, and also to use this to show Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu that they have a very good relationship in the impression of outsiders. He just wanted to force Lin Ruhai to marry Lin Daiyu to Jia Baoyu with such flirtatious words.

Now it was because Lin Hongyu and Lin Qingyu went to toast others, which made this good plan come to nothing.

However, Mrs. Wang has never been a person who is easily discouraged. She is only temporarily calming down and waiting for the next better opportunity.

Soon, Mrs. Wang's chance came because Lin Daiyu came.

Mrs. Wang greeted her with a smile, and wanted to talk to Lin Daiyu, but Lin Daiyu was taken aback.

Lin Daiyu was reborn once. In the previous life, although Mrs. Wang was friendly on the surface, anyone who was not happy with her could feel it in her heart, but today she saw her suddenly change her temper. , when she smiled at herself, there was more sincerity than before, which made people feel surprised, and made Lin Daiyu feel vigilant.

Lin Daiyu winked at her foster mother, then went up to meet her. "Hello, Second Aunt."

"I haven't seen you for a while, but Daiyu has become more and more iconic. I really don't know which kid is lucky enough to marry you back." Mrs. Wang's abrupt words really made people look sideways, but now she already wants to get out of the trap. I was going crazy thinking about it, how could I notice some taboos?

It is a bit against the rules to talk about the fact of marriage in front of an unmarried woman, but Mrs. Wang is an elder anyway, so it is not too unreasonable, so Lin Daiyu just restrained the expression on her face, and said solemnly: "I think the second aunt Did you eat a bar? Although there is only fruit wine on the banquet, eating too much will not hurt your body, but it is easy to mess up your mind, so I still want to advise Second Aunt to eat less."

Mrs. Wang smiled, she didn't seem to care about the sarcasm in Lin Daiyu's words, and continued: "Today is the birthday of Hongyu and Qingyu, and I, the aunt, picked out gifts for them. I don't know if they will like it. But later, I thought that the things I picked as an old woman were not as good as those picked by young people, so I asked your second elder brother to choose some good things. Except for the gifts of red jade and sapphire, your second brother My brother also picked one for you, but unfortunately he was outside with your second uncle, so I took it with me, now that I see you, I just give it to you right now."

While talking, Mrs. Wang's confidant, Zhou Rui's family, took a tray from the servant girl who was waiting on the side, and brought it to Lin Daiyu, and said with a smile on her face, "Miss Lin, take a look, this wag Don’t you like the incense sticks? This is what our Brother Bao likes the most in the past, if it wasn’t for Miss Lin, he would not give it up.”

On the tray were wagtail incense sticks worn only by men, and Zhou Rui’s family also said that it was Jia Baoyu’s favorite thing, and now he would give it to Lin Daiyu. Who can't hear it?

Seeing other people looking sideways and looking at her with some inexplicable meaning, Lin Daiyu felt ashamed and angry.But she also knew that it would be good if the foster mother took the lead in this matter, but she couldn't represent her own position, so she wanted to find a room to hide herself, so as not to receive strange eyes from others, I also had to stand up and speak up for myself.

"Second Aunt is really joking. Today is the birthday of my two younger sisters. How can I accept the gift as well? What's more, this wagtail incense string is the second cousin's favorite thing, and I can't take away the love of others." Besides, this wagtail incense string is something for a man. I think I am quite dignified, so there is no reason why it is a man’s thing. Isn’t it just a joke? In addition, the so-called birthday gift, as long as the person who gives it It is good to have a heart, even if the gift is not what you want, but with the sincerity of the person who gave the gift, even an ordinary piece of coarse cloth is also affectionate."

The rejection and sarcasm in Lin Daiyu's words made Mrs. Wang's face turn green and pale, but every sentence was reasonable, which really made her not know what to say.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang couldn't refute, Lin Daiyu's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a smile: "Second aunt, please eat and drink well, I'm going to accompany my two younger sisters, you can do what you want."

Then, he left in a mighty manner with a group of nuns and maidservants.
