Chapter two hundred and eighty-eight water-soluble action
King Zhongshun is on the move, and Prince Shuirong of Beijing County is not idle either.
He first returned to the Prince's Mansion and found Princess Beijing.
"Rong'er, why do you have time to come to my place?"
Shui Rong said: "There have been too many things lately, and I didn't want to disturb my grandmother's purity. It's just that something happened now, and I had to ask my grandmother for help."
Looking at Shui Rong's serious look, Princess Beijing asked worriedly: "But what happened?"
"Grandma, this matter is related to An Minhou. My grandson originally wanted to seek respect from the Supreme Emperor, but he never thought that King Zhongshun would intervene. Grandma also knew that his grandson was in love with Baoyu. I learned from him that the Jia family had a
I don’t know what the meaning of marrying the Lin family is now."
Princess Beijing asked doubtfully: "Why, could it be that you have fallen in love with Lin Ruhai's daughter?"
Shui Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Grandma was joking, how could Mr. Lin agree to have his daughter as a concubine? It was King Zhongshun who proposed a marriage between An Minhou and the Lin family's daughter, so the grandson wanted to ask his grandmother to find out the news. In addition, King Zhongshun was under the Supreme Emperor's command.
I mentioned in front of me that the Jia family and the Xue family of the imperial merchants have been engaged, and I asked my grandmother to ask about it together."
It was related to the fight between the Four Kings and the Eight Princes and the Emperor. Concubine Beijing did not dare to delay and sent her confidant, Grandma Liu, to see Jia Mu.
King Zhongshun said proudly: "How about Tingxuan? I told you that Lin Ruhai would give the house to you."
Wang Tingxuan looked at Prince Zhongshun with some displeasure and said, "Your Majesty, if you calculate it as you do, it seems that I am at a loss."
King Zhongshun laughed and said: "How can it be considered a loss for you to have a beautiful woman? How can I, the king's adopted daughter, still wrong you? It's getting late, and I have to go back to discuss the marriage with the princess.
Things won’t stay with you for long.”
After bidding farewell to King Zhongshun, Wang Tingxuan also felt a little strange.
My original intention was just to save the lives of Lin and his daughter, and I had no other thoughts. However, after going round and round, I ended up with such a fate.
He didn't have much communication with Lin Daiyu, and he didn't know how different the Lin Daiyu at this time was from the person in the book.
When Jia Mu learned that Concubine Beijing had sent someone over, she did not dare to underestimate her.
"Mama Liu, how are you doing, the Imperial Concubine? I wonder why the Imperial Concubine sent you here."
Aunt Liu said politely: "Old lady, the concubine wants to ask about the Lin family. Your Majesty once heard from Mr. Bao that there is a marriage between the Jia family and the Lin family. I don't know if this is true."
Could it be that Prince Beijing fell in love with Lin Daiyu.
This was the first thought in the minds of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.
The difference is that Jia Mu is very happy. If Lin Daiyu can marry into the Beijing Prince's Palace, it will bring a lot of benefits to their family.
Mrs. Wang was very jealous and resentful. How could a girl from the Lin family be so mean and mean as the concubine of King Beijing?
If Prince Beijing really wants to take a concubine, the Jia family also has daughters, so why should they give the Lin family an advantage.
Jia's mother immediately denied it and said: "These were some ideas that my daughter and I had. Because Lin's son-in-law didn't agree, we gave up. If the prince has such an idea, I am willing to help make peace."
Mother Liu was shocked. Lin Ruhai was a second-grade official. Even if the Lin family only had one daughter left, few families would dare to let the daughter of the Lin family be a concubine. Even those families who wanted to marry would not do so.
Come out with your useless son.
Jia Mu was the biological grandmother of Lin's daughter, and she could actually say this directly. Grandma Liu felt that her eyes had been opened.
Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Mu anxiously, but when she saw that she didn't understand, she had to say: "To be honest, my niece has been in poor health since she was a child. The imperial doctor once said that it is not good for the children. If the prince is willing, we also have a suitable girl in our family."
Grandma Liu was so frightened by these two shameless mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that she did not dare to say anything more and said goodbye directly.
Concubine Beijing was also dumbfounded as she listened to Nanny Liu's reply and asked, "Is this really what the Duke's wife said?"
"How dare you lie?"
Concubine Beijing sighed and said: "The Duke's wife has not been out to socialize for a long time. I didn't expect that she would be so confused. After all, we are family friends. We must save some face for her, and these things should not be spread to anyone."
Shui Rong was not surprised to learn that the marriage between Lin Jia's family was broken up.
But how to solve Lin Ruhai’s problem?
Palace Chief Shi said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"It's already this time. If there's anything else that shouldn't be mentioned, just say it for now."
"Your Majesty, the key to this matter still lies with Mr. Lin. If Mr. Lin is unwilling, the Supreme Emperor will not force Mr. Lin."
Shui Rong asked curiously: "How to make Lin Ruhai unwilling?"
Chang Shi said: "Master Lin is a benevolent gentleman. If the Lin family daughter gets engaged, she will definitely not do anything to regret the engagement."
"Engagement?" Shui Rong muttered it again and said happily: "Wonderful. This will silence King Zhongshun. But, who is willing to marry the Lin family?"
Shui Rong immediately arranged for people to send letters to those family friends and asked if anyone was willing to marry the Lin family.
Mother Jia waited for Aunt Liu to leave, then scolded Mrs. Wang: "You are so stupid. All the girls in our family are concubines, how can they be worthy of the position of concubine?"
Mrs. Wang asked in surprise: "Concubine? Old lady, one of Prince Beijing's principal concubines. The seats for the two concubines are full. How can I marry another concubine?"
Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang with disdain and said: "Son-in-law Lin is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Beijing Palace can still let the daughter of a second-rank official to be a concubine without status. If the Beijing Palace is really interested,
At least give Yu'er a position as a concubine."
Mrs. Wang was not convinced and said: "This is impossible. Princess Beijing and the concubine are both fine. How can we replace them?"
Jia Mu said: "I'm afraid that Princess Beijing is worried about the prince's heirs."
Mrs. Wang was quite disdainful of this statement. If it was for the sake of heirs, she should not set her sights on the daughter of the Lin family. As Lin Daiyu did, it was obviously not good for the heirs.
She still firmly believed that Lin Daiyu seduced King Beijing and forced the concubine to take this trick.
Jia Mu said, "Send someone out to find out and we will find out."
Mrs. Wang said in embarrassment: "Old lady, Feng girl suddenly had a baby and abandoned the family. My wife is old and she really doesn't have the energy to take care of so many things."
Mother Jia asked: "Girl Feng's health is not good yet? What kind of disease is it? It's been going on for so many days and it's still not good."
"It's said that it's my daughter's disease that will affect the children. I asked Dr. Wang to check it out, and he said it's nothing serious. But Feng Yatou and Lian'er just believe in the doctors at the medical clinic and are unwilling to take over the affairs of the house."
Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang and felt a little scared. Wang Xifeng was the daughter of the Wang family, how could she do this?
He could be so cruel to his own niece, so he had to be on guard.
Wang Xifeng should still be allowed to take charge of some housework, so that the balance between the big house and the second house will not be broken.
But Jia Mu apparently forgot that Jia Lian was still the first heir to the Rongguo Mansion. She knew Mrs. Wang's methods and did not take action to stop her.
"In this case, I will send someone to see Feng Yatou. If her illness is better, don't be lazy. With such a big family matter, without her, I feel that everything is unsatisfactory."
This obviously means knocking.
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to accept this embarrassing loss and said: "It's all because of the incompetence of the daughter-in-law, so the old lady has to worry about it."
