The Rose of the Red Chamber

Tanchun held Xichun's hand, and came to Jiamu's upper room with a pace and speed that can definitely be called a lady, and there were not many people in Jiamu's upper room.

As early as Jia Lan could remember, Jia's mother gave up the idea of ​​holding her by her side.Although Jia Lan can't remember things, it doesn't matter if she is an old lady who is too grandma, but she can't stop her from thinking.

Jia's mother hopes that Jia Lan will kiss herself more than her own mother and grandmother.

Jia's mother had only two biological children, Jia Zheng and Jia Min, in her life, and only Jia Zheng raised these two children by her side.

In the inherent thinking of women in this era, the proportion of sons is much greater than that of daughters, and Jia's mother may be like this.In addition, one is guarding Jiamu, and the other has not seen each other for many years, and the strength and dependence of the relationship can be traced.

In Jia's mother's heart, Jia Zheng's status is higher than Jia Min's.Of course, Jia Zheng's children and grandchildren are higher than Jia Min in Jia's mother's heart.

Jia Zhu, Jia Lan, and Jia Baoyu.

As for Jia Yuanchun and Tanchun, they are naturally inferior to Jia Min.

After all, one is a daughter born to oneself, and the other is a daughter born to others.

Of course, Lin Daiyu's siblings are no match for Jia Yuanchun and Tanchun.

Because their surname is not Jia, but the Lin family.

But now Jia Min is gone, and I don't know whether Jia's mother is looking forward to taking over and raising the Lin siblings. In her heart, is it because Jia Min is valued, or because Lin Ruhai is valued?

Then again, ever since Mother Jia gave up on the idea of ​​bringing Jia Lan to her side to raise her, Li Wan usually stayed with Mother Jia in order to avoid being tortured by Mrs. Wang.She was there at this time of day.

Mrs. Xing was not favored by Jiamu, and except for necessity, Jiamu would not let her dangle in front of her eyes.I'm not here now, I guess I'll get the news soon and come here with Yingchun.

As for why Wang Xifeng and the second wife are not here, it is easy to say, one needs a housekeeper, and the other is afraid that the smile on their faces will stimulate Jia Mu's uncomfortable little heart.

As soon as Tanchun and Xichun came in, they walked to Jiamu's couch, and half knelt in front of Jiamu's couch, Tanchun choked up.

Damn, what about the one who fainted from crying?

What are you doing half lying there holding a handkerchief?

Ever since Jiamu married, Tanchun, who has watched Jiamu practice step by step to defeat the Buddha, was still hurt by Jiamu's behavior.

Can't we live a good life?Isn't it good to wait for the house to be ransacked?

What is the purpose of all this fuss?

You started to do it when you reported the news.Cry for Jia Min, cry for Daiyu, and then send someone to pick them up, and you have achieved your goal.Then you cry and act again, and what are you doing?

It is said that you are old and your children and grandchildren are getting less and less every day, so let Jia Zheng bring his son and great-grandson to come to you every day to say hello and talk with you.

Didn't you see that the cousins ​​Jia Lian and Baoyu were almost dazzled by Yingying and Yanyan in your old house?

You cry and be a demon for three meals a day, what is it for today?

Tanchun really guessed wrong, the old lady is really improvising without purpose today, and it doesn't matter where she is going.

"Old lady, don't tell me that Tanchun feels very uncomfortable looking at you like this, even if Aunt Min in the sky sees her, she won't feel at ease to leave."

Life is like a play, and what you fight for is acting.Seeing Mother Jia like this, Tanchun only said one sentence, then threw herself on Mother Jia, covering her face and howling dryly.

This is a technical job. When you howl, you must not show your face.

In the entire Rongguo Mansion, Xichun and Jialan are the smallest.At least Jia Lan has her own mother to take care of her, while Xichun can only cross the river by feeling for the stones, groping bit by bit.

Ever since Xichun could remember, Yingchun rarely stayed in the old lady's yard.Therefore, since childhood, Xichun has been closest to Tanchun who has nowhere to go.

Seeing Tanchun like this at this time, although she was not sad at all, she still imitated Tanchun's position and half-lyed at the foot of Jiamu's couch, hugged Jiamu's calf, and buried her face in it.She remembered that her third sister had said not to show her face, so Xichun buried her entire face so that nothing was left, and even arched her face specially for this reason.

Neither weep nor bark.Motionless as if asleep.Xichun's actions directly confused the three Jia family women in the room.

Jia Mu: "..." What is this child doing?

Tanchun: "..." My sister is amazing.

"..." Li Wan was equally speechless, while wiping away tears while touching the handkerchief, he covered up the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Among them, apart from old ladies and wives, who really saw Aunt Allergy?Aunt Min was gone, and they really couldn't feel sad.

It's not coldness, it's the normal state of people.

Not to mention them, in the entire Rongguo Mansion, the only person who would be sad for Jia Min is Jia Mu, who is so sad and not pure.

Mrs. Xing married in late, and like them, she has never met Jia Min.

As for Mrs. Wang, she always wakes up laughing in the middle of the night recently, so you can know how 'sad' she is.

When I was young, Mrs. Wang's aunt and nephew, Mrs. Xing's false mother and daughter all came together.

After coming, there was another compliment and comfort to Jia's mother.

Mrs. Wang holds it up, Wang Xifeng coaxes her, Mrs. Xing is respectful, Sanchun looks filial...

So to some extent, Jia's mother finally stopped crying until she fainted.

Seeing this, Tanchun felt a chill in his heart.

The daughter is dead, and the mother can still use it like this. What else can the Jia family expect.

......

Tanchun, who is thousands of miles away, spent a lot of time watching Jia Mu acting twice in three days.

And also for Lin Ruhai, what does the emperor who is thousands of miles away think, Lin Ruhai can't care about it for the time being.Because not long after the booklet was handed in, the concubines in the backyard of the Lin family exploded.

And the one who bears the brunt is Lin Ping's little friend.

He was pushed onto the lotus pond.

If it wasn't for Liu Xianglian who was still staying in Lin's family because of "the kindness is hard to turn down", it is estimated that Lin Ping's little friend could make his mother under Jiuquan less concerned about this time.

However, Lin Piao's little friend who was rescued didn't show any signs of being frightened, on the contrary, he was still very excited.

It's nice to be in the water, and then it feels even better to jump out of it all at once.

The only son was almost in a catastrophe. Lin Ruhai was anxious, and also felt sad. After killing the aunt who did it, he first split up a village outside Yangzhou City and divided it into a few acres. He bought a few concubines, and then sent all the concubines in the backyard to the nunnery outside the city.

After that, the lotus pond was filled, and most of the backyard was closed. Finally, they lived in the middle yard with their six-year-old daughter and three-year-old son.

Fortunately, this Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi Mansion is big enough, and it is divided into three ranks: front, middle and back.

It turns out that this mansion is used for office work in the front, and an inner house at the back. Lin Ruhai's study is set up in the main courtyard in the middle.

At this time, when Lin Ruhai had an accident in Lin Ping, he immediately closed the backyard. He took his son to live in the central courtyard, and arranged his daughter and the little girl from the Zhen family together in a small courtyard near his main courtyard.On the other side of the girls' courtyard is the courtyard of the Zhen family.

He was really frightened by the assassination and falling into the water.

Liu Xianglian, who used to live in the middle courtyard, moved to live in the front courtyard.

Liu Xianglian has been under surveillance all the time in the Lin family, even if she leaves the Lin family, she is watched closely everywhere in Yangzhou city.

Liu Xianglian was impatient because she was young and energetic, but when she thought of Chang Tuo's words when she left the capital, she could bear it.

It is perfectly normal for people not to believe him.If people believed him so easily, they probably wouldn't live to deliver the letter.

Another one is that he has always been a bit of a muddleheaded person, and it was only when he arrived at the Lin family in Yangzhou that he realized that the wife that the Lin family had just lost was the aunt of the little girl.

Thinking of this, Liu Xianglian had an indescribable feeling.

It seemed that the little girl would complain that he didn't care if she found out. If he came earlier, well, even if he left the capital after learning the news, he would just wait for the first seven days when he arrived in Yangzhou, instead of going to Yangzhou. That's all for the first seven.

So the problem is that he set off on the day he heard the news, and he probably won't be in a hurry.

He was taking the empty road, and he was riding a horse on the land road, so it's strange that the speed can be the same.

Shunchang Hou Changtuo's letter not only mentioned what Liu Xianglian had heard, but also expressed his concern for his own uncle by the way.

So Lin Ruhai sent people into the capital to check Liu Xianglian's life experience while receiving the letter.Back and forth, just in time to receive the news when the Jia family came.

Although Liu Xianglian reported the letter late, but from Liu Xianglian's words, she could tell which family sent the assassins.

Although I can't say that I am grateful for Liu Xianglian's report, it is still a good job.

Afterwards, Lin Ping did not stop Lin Ping from getting close to Liu Xianglian.

Lin Ping liked Liu Xianglian quite a lot. Since he was born, he had never met a "martial arts hero" because of his family background. He was immediately fascinated by Liu Xianglian's coquettish, no, it was her demeanor.

Lin Ping would play with Liu Xianglian every day, but at night, he would cry and call for his mother.

Lin Ruhai saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. In addition, his daughter, who was originally optimistic and cheerful, woke up from nightmares every night because she saw her mother being assassinated. She often washed her face with tears, and she gradually lost weight.

The changes in his children also made Lin Ruhai feel bored with this Yangzhou officialdom again.

Thinking of the person mentioned in Liu Xianglian's letter, Lin Ruhai finally made up his mind secretly.

What royalists?

If Baohuangtang was useful, his wife would not have died.

Having been a lonely minister all his life, protecting the imperial court, when he was old and old, he went to the bank and prayed for a transfer without saying a word. If this is the case, then he can only figure out a way by himself.

Quietly sent his confidants to Shunchanghou's Mansion in the capital, and then someone came to Lin's Mansion in Yangzhou with a certain prince's handwriting...

During the period, I did not describe everything one by one. At the end of October, the capital issued an imperial edict.

Lin Ruhai was formally transferred to the Ministry of Rites and served as the official fourth-rank Honglu Temple Minister.

Lin Ruhai didn't feel depressed when he was downgraded from a senior official of the second and third ranks to the minister of Honglu Temple of the fourth rank.

Being able to leave Yangzhou alive is better than anything else.

After Jia Min left, his investigation of a certain matter slowed down.After the imperial decree came down, it was completely over.

Whoever likes to do that terrible job can do it.He is not waiting.

But also because of Lin Ruhai's attitude, it really made the assassin no longer pursue him urgently.

This person, you have to know the real things everywhere, otherwise if you cut off other people's money, they can only cut off your life.

People have no way of making money, but you have no way of life. After all, they still make money.

Lin Ruhai thought about it and stopped working.The emperor on the dragon chair seemed to be disturbed, and with the addition of someone beating and drumming, it was quite normal for Lin Ruhai, who had lost his heart, to be relegated to an idle position.

The Minister of Honglu Temple is really able to take one's life at leisure.

But like a person who drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold, and Lin Ruhai enjoys it.

It is good to return to the capital with the holy will, but it requires hard work.Lin Ruhai's children are still young and need his father to take care of and protect them, so he thinks he can't afford it.

At this time, if you lose the holy will, you will lose it.Anyway, in his opinion, his son was only enlightened, and the young emperor sitting on the dragon chair was probably not alive for a few years.

... In short, it won't affect my son's official career.

The property of the Lin family is relatively large, or Jia Min is a good housekeeper and skillful in making money, plus the property set up in Yangzhou, it is really complicated and trivial.Lin Ruhai was overwhelmed with general affairs, and had to hand over to the succeeding officials. All of this would take time and be sorted out slowly.

The mansion was in a hurry, Lin Ruhai didn't want the two children to be wronged, and it happened that the Jia family sent someone to pick them up, so Lin Ruhai sent his two young children and the little girl Zhen Yinglian to Beijing first.

At the same time there is Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian just returned to Beijing along the way, and the boat sent by the Jia family to pick them up was big enough, so he didn't care about having him as an outsider.

Going from north to south, the warmer you go.But if you walk from south to north, it will get colder and colder, although Liu Xianglian is anxious to return to the capital.But then thinking about the weather at this time, it is estimated that even if he returns to the capital, the girl's windows will be sealed, and he may not see anyone even if he goes.It might as well go back to the capital comfortably outside.

This time the Lin siblings and Zhen Yinglian came to the capital, bringing many more people than Daiyu went to the capital alone.

First of all, the two foster nuns beside their siblings are all good people who have been around the Rongguo Mansion.What the Jia family is like, these two mothers who are dedicated to the two children of the Lin family are very clear.The Lin family has already decided to provide for the two nuns, so the two nuns are more concerned about treating the siblings.

This is different from the concern for Jia Yuanchun.

At that time, they knew that Jia Yuanchun was going to enter the palace, but they didn't follow him. The Jia family didn't give a definite answer on the issue of pension.But when he arrived at the Lin family, after the health of the Lin family siblings improved one after another, Jia Min talked openly about the issue of providing for the aged.

The hearts of the two naturally turned to the Lin family.

So this time when they went to the capital, the siblings each had a nanny and a foster mother, and each had two older maids and four younger maids.

And Lin Ping, the younger brother of the Lin family, had four more five-year-old children to play with and study with.As a matter of fact, for the waiters, two more young servants are left to guard at the second gate of Jia's house, and the rest of the people just go back to Linfu in the capital.

As for Zhen Yinglian, Feng's mouth melted for this girl who was finally found, and she held it in her hand for fear of falling. Although she knew that she couldn't compare with Daiyu in everything, she was better than her. The girl plus two little girls.

And because Yinglian and Daiyu have been getting along very well since she found her, and when Jia Min went there, they ate and slept together.Therefore, when ordering servants, they will not recognize each other.

The second housekeeper of the Lin family also went to the capital with these three children.

They changed the three children to Jia's house for a temporary stay, and then returned to Lin's Mansion in the capital with the other servants' luggage.

The Lin Mansion in the capital city is uninhabited all year round. Although there are a few elderly households who look after the houses, they are neglected after all.The second housekeeper wanted to repair the entire Lin mansion until it could be lived in before Lin Ruhai and Zhen Shiyin entered the capital.

It's just less than two months before the new year, the second steward counted with his fingers, if he expected it to be correct, by the day they got off the boat in the capital, their master would have already set off from Yangzhou.

Jia Min's departure was too sudden, Feng's help was needed for many things in the inner house, and if Feng stayed, Zhen Shiyin naturally had to stay.If it weren't for this, these two couples would go to the Lin family with the second steward.

Yangzhou did not describe them one by one for the time being, but only said that the ship sailed to Jinling on this day and broke down and landed for supplies. When Daiyu saw the ship stopped, she picked up the Buddhist scriptures and copied them.

Seeing this, Yinglian hugged Lin Ping, who had been dishonest on the couch, to the ground, greeted Daiyu, and took Lin Ping's hand out of the cabin.

The official ship was not small, and its deck was much higher than that of other ships. Yinglian only put on a hooded cloak when she went out, and led Lin Ping back and forth on the ship without covering her face.

Lin Ping likes this big sister very much, and treats herself more patiently than her own sister.Although he always wanted to get off the boat to play, but thinking of what this sister said, if he left the family's sight and a certain distance, he might be abducted by a kidnapper, and then he would never see his father and sister again. Never dare to think like this again.

The further north you go, the colder it gets, and the more Lin Ping wears.

Lin Ping's bluish-white brocade jacket looked even more pink and jade-carved, because Yinglian also let go of her hand on the boat and let him run back and forth.

It is strange to say that since Lin Piao was flooded that day, not only is he not afraid of water at all, since he seems to have discovered a new game.When I take a bath every day, I also hold my breath and play in the bathtub, even if the water is cold, I don’t want to come out.After soaking in cold water several times, there was no problem with the cold at all.

Although the family felt strange, they were not worried about his safety in this regard.

"Girl, the wind on the river is strong, and my face hurts when I blow it carefully. Although this place is far away from the shore, it's not good for people to see. Miss, use this to block it." Yinglian's eldest girl, Tao Yan, held a Put the white feather folding fan in front of Yinglian.

Yinglian smiled at her and took the fan. The feathers on the fan were really cute in the cold wind.Tilting his head and chuckling, he held it in his hand and gently opened it, and then blocked it in front of him...

Afterwards, Yinglian looked at the setting sun on the river for a while, and at Lin Ping's figure for a while, feeling at ease, peaceful and elegant.

Feng Yuan stood not far away, looking at the girl in a plain cloak and holding a white feather fan to cover her face, she lost her mind for a moment.

What a nice view.

Beauty is in the body, beauty is in the bone.

......

Looking at ten thousand years, what Feng Yuan will do in the future is the fate between him and Yinglian.Time flies quickly, and it is already approaching the day when the Lin family siblings enter the capital.

"Madam asked me to come, but what do you want to tell me?" Tan Chun sat under Mrs. Wang, looking at Mrs. Wang with a respectful expression.

Mrs. Wang looked at the concubine, and thought of her troubled youngest son, and sighed, "In a few days, your Lin family sister will go to Beijing. I have asked you to come today because I have something to tell you. .”

As soon as he heard that he was going to talk about Lin Daiyu, Tanchun thought of what Mrs. Wang said to Lin Daiyu in the original book, and he wondered why she, a good aunt, would change that passage. Tell her.

If we talk about Baoyu's faults, it seems that she also has some...

Concentrated for a while, Tanchun thought for a while after Mrs. Wang said, "Oh, the lady is talking about her. The old lady has been talking about it recently. Madam, don't worry, Tanchun won't care about anything with their siblings." of."

There is a great enmity between her and Lin Daiyu's sister and brother.

One is to win the hatred of the mother.The second is the upcoming resentment of falling out of favor.

So her attitude is not good, and she should be able to satisfy the little old woman in front of her.

To be honest, she couldn't understand.How could a six-year-old girl be in the way of her eyes? She had to find ways to find fault.

Just because of the little grievances between her and Jia Min back then, as for remembering it until now?

Back then when you were a new wife and Mother Jia used Jia Min as a raft to clean you up, you hated Jia Min.What did you say when you used this girl as a raft to clean up Li Wan a few days ago?

Why didn't Li Wan blame this girl on me?

There is a grievance and a debt, so if you have the ability, you can go to the old lady.What's going on with the two children to show off their prestige.

Mrs. Wang heard the dissatisfaction in the concubine's words, and a flash of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.But that was not what she wanted to order.

"Sigh, this motherless child's upbringing is worrying. Your second brother's temperament is the most undistracted when reading. Your elder sister from the Lin family is here, I'm afraid it will disturb your second brother's progress. "

When Tanchun heard this, he lowered his head and concealed the coldness in his eyes.

This mixed egg, who is this talking about?Did she forget that the self in front of her is also a 'motherless' child?

"What does Madam mean?" Suppressing the rising anger in his heart, Tanchun smiled innocently.

The author has something to say: The stupid author received a lot of nutrient solutions today, thank you dear!

I told you before, when my queen mother and old man go out together and go back to my hometown to celebrate my aunt's birthday, I will pick up a cat master.

However, this plan may be shelved.The original plan was that both the queen mother and the old man would go there at the end of the month.But now, just yesterday, the family received the news that the aunt who was about to celebrate her birthday was suddenly seriously ill. The Queen Mother took the bus at [-] o'clock in the afternoon and went back alone.

I heard from the older generation that 66 is a hurdle, and that year is unlucky for the whole year.My birthday that year should be the same as when I was 60, both on the sixth day of the first lunar month.You can do it on the sixth day of the first lunar month, but it is best not to do it if you are 66 years old. At the age of 66, on the night of New Year's Eve, I cut off a piece of meat and threw it out the window, and then on the sixth day, I ate a bowl of vegetarian noodles, which was considered over.

But my aunt's two sons insisted on living, well, they were hospitalized before their birthdays.

Although these are mostly coincidences, it feels quite taboo.

Well, the author is also a superstitious person.
