Chapter 41 The Red Chamber (41)

Red Mansion(41)

When Wang Xifeng came back from the Lin family, Ping'er hurried over to serve him.

"I said you just go about your business. Xiaohong is here. What are you doing here?" Wang Xifeng took the hot handkerchief from Ping'er and wiped his face.

"There is no reason why grandma is working hard, but I am enjoying it on the side." Ping'er naturally realized that Wang Xifeng was not as close to him as before, but was more attentive and mean-spirited than before.

"You are so good at playing tricks on me now." Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that I visit the house now? But the visit is also very particular. Why don't the old ladies say anything? You are doing this to me. You are not relying on me to contact the Lin family. There are so many household matters, so you just take care of them. The most important thing now is the outside. If you are too worried, you will completely insult my friendship for you."

Ping'er was stunned and said with a smile: "How can I be too worried? I really have something to ask grandma today."

"Tell me." Wang Xifeng leaned on the couch and said, "You can just make your own decision regarding matters at home. Aren't there already examples? You can't go wrong if you follow them."

"If there is an example, it won't be difficult for me." Ping'er sighed and said, "I don't know what the old lady was thinking, but she took Miss Yun over again. She said that since we were engaged, It’s time to learn some principles of being a wife. She needs to be educated by herself. The two wives of the Shi family were so angry that no one from our family showed up. Only a mother-in-law was sent to deal with it. Now people are here to take care of them. But the old lady didn't arrange it in her yard anymore. Instead, she said that it was pitiful for Miss Yun to learn the rules in the Shi family, so she asked her to stay in the garden and stay loose. Then she came to me and asked me to tidy up the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The original things in Xiaoxiang Hall can be used, but there are people living here, so how can we clean them up? Grandma would like to give you a word."

"What do you mean? No matter how many things you give her, she can't move them away. She can just put them out there. If you're worried about accidentally damaging them, there's no need to worry. Except for the living ancestors in Baoyu's house, There is no such thing as someone who doesn’t care about things anymore. I listened in a daze as the girl named Qingwen tore up several fine fans. She was so indifferent. If you are nice to her, remind her to restrain herself. That girl grows on the branches. The fruit with the best head is always the first one to be pecked by the birds." Wang Xifeng closed her eyes and spoke without saying anything. Yin asked again: "Or you can just ask Yun Yatou, maybe she doesn't want to move there herself. I don’t know where I’ll live.”

"There is no need to ask. Miss Yun has now taken the girl happily. In addition, compared with Miss Bao's house, no matter how Miss Yun tidies it, it is conspicuous. Miss Bao's house is empty and empty. It's like a snow cave." Ping'er said. It's not just that she's afraid that relatives from the two families can't be treated differently. At least she should look better on the surface. Don't just favor the girl from the Shi family. It doesn't matter if she offends the Xue family. She's afraid that her wife will think too much.

Wang Xifeng frowned and thought to herself: This girl Yun is already engaged, how could she be so reckless? Seeing that Ping'er was still waiting for her reply, she said: "What's so difficult about this? You just said you want to open the warehouse and ask all the girls Yes. Those things are collected for nothing. If they are given to them for use, what will happen?"

Ping'er thought to herself, how could she open the warehouse to take things without grandma's consent? How could she, a girl with a key, do it? Seeing Wang Xifeng speak, she responded. Zhun turned around and asked again: "Lin Da What a nice girl."

"Girl's symptoms, it seems that she is the first one here, so she feels a little uncomfortable. It doesn't matter." Wang Xifeng was a little confused. After going out of the house, she felt sleepy.

Just as Ping'er was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Grandma's body hasn't been washed for many days. Could it be..."

Wang Xifeng opened her eyes suddenly. She was so busy with everything these days that she really forgot about this incident.

"That girl Xiaohong is capable, but she's from a kid's family, so how can she know what's going on here?" Ping'er saw Wang Xifeng's look and knew that she was inseparable.

Xiaohong came out of the inner room and said: "It must be two months ago. It can't be wrong."

"This is a happy event." Ping'er is really happy. She is also under a lot of pressure these days. The reason for promoting her aunt is for the sake of her children. Many people are gossiping behind her back, saying that she is not a proper person. She is not pregnant with the child, but

Hold on to the power in your hands and never let go. Every time I think of this, can I not feel panicked in my heart? "I'm going to call for a doctor."

"Stop." Wang Xifeng suddenly stopped Ping'er, "Don't make any noise. Just ask Xiaohong to go to the Lin family and ask Miss Lin to invite a doctor that the Lin family usually uses. Now, besides her and you, I don't know anyone else.

Those who don’t believe it.”

Ping'er was stunned for a moment. Grandma was suspicious of someone.

When Xiaohong saw the curtain move, she immediately winked at Wang Xifeng. The girls outside looked loose, but they were all found and mobilized by Xiaohong. They guarded the room tightly. When the curtain moved, it proved that it was Jia Lian.

I'm back. It's time to eavesdrop outside.

Wang Xifeng glanced at the curtain with her peripheral vision and said to Ping'er: "Don't even think about how my mother-in-law died. Our second master also has a biological brother. How did he die when he was five or six years old?

He fell into the water and died. In this family, the girls and the mother-in-law are just decorations. They can't bear to have a child. How did the second master come to the second room and be raised by the second room? The things inside are unbearable.

I've thought about it. It's just the eldest brother getting a title. This is the root cause of harm. But how can I say this? When I was pregnant with my eldest son, it was always very smooth. The birth was not difficult, so why did it happen?

I didn’t manage well, and I haven’t gotten pregnant for so many years. Every time I think about these things, I break into a cold sweat. But our man, I’m afraid he hasn’t thought of this. Even if I tell him, he will believe it even more.

The second aunt who raised him for a while, my biological aunt. I don’t know when he was led to commit a fatal crime, then this title is really gone. How can I not be discouraged when I think about it. If it was a fluke, I would really be surprised.

There is a brother in his belly. If we keep him, we will all be able to rely on him."

Ping'er's face turned pale and Xiaohong looked horrified, but in her heart she felt that the second mistress' words were just to frighten the people outside the door.

Sure enough, Jia Lian opened the curtain and came in with a livid face and said, "What was the reason for those words you just said?"

Wang Xifeng looked frightened and covered her chest: "When did you come back? What were you doing sneaking around in your own house? You scared people."

Ping'er came back to his senses and answered: "Second Master, please speak in a lower voice. If you don't say anything else, it's important not to scare the brother in grandma's belly."

Jia Lian then focused his attention on Wang Xifeng's belly and came to his senses. "Okay. Since you are worried, just ask someone to go to Lin's house."

Xiao Hong responded immediately, turned around and went out. Jia Lian then said: "What did you just say?"

"There's nothing there. It's just that I'm overthinking." Wang Xifeng turned her face away. How could she admit these words without proof? What if this person's temper was aroused and he didn't dare to make a fuss regardless of it?

.As long as there is such a mark and suspicion in the bottom of my heart, I can always alert him, don't do anything fatal, and avoid being caught. When this family fails in the future, don't implicate yourself and yourself.

It's only good for children.

The more calm Wang Xifeng became, the more Jia Lian murmured in his heart. He said, "Don't say these words again. I've heard you today. If you let others hear you, you won't die."

"I understand. As long as I won't go out of the yard from now on, regardless of the chaos outside, I will just give birth to the child first and then talk about it." Wang Xifeng said, looked at Ping'er and said: "I know what is said in this family.

, you have also suffered a lot of grievances. These grievances were all suffered by you for me and your second master. I will keep your affection in my heart."

Ping'er's eyes turned red, "What did grandma say? It's a loss for both, and a gain for both. If you don't say this, it will only make you angry."

Although Jia Lian was thinking about what Wang Xifeng had just said, he felt a little satisfied when he saw the harmony of his wife and concubines, and then thought about how everyone in other families fought like black-eyed chickens.

When Lin Yutong saw Xiaohong, she realized that Wang Xifeng might be pregnant. Thinking of the original work, Wang Xifeng had indeed been pregnant with one, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage. It was said to be a boy. Now seeing her being so cautious, he smiled and said: "Go back now. I'll send her away right away.

I asked a doctor to send him over. He said he was going to give your grandma a look and to nurse her back to health."

Xiao Hong was immediately overjoyed. Anyway, everyone knew that her grandmother was anxious to have a baby. She asked the Lin family to find a doctor to take care of her, so no one would be suspicious. She happened to be diagnosed with pregnancy at that time, so who could say anything wrong? It would save others.

I felt that a happy pulse had been diagnosed, and I begged the Lin family to make a fuss. If there was really someone who could harm others, it would make the other party suspicious. Miss Lin really thought of her grandma. No wonder grandma only

I wanted to be nice to her. So I immediately knelt down and kowtowed sincerely.

Lin Yutong asked someone to help her up, and saw that the girl's forehead was already green, and said: "What a good girl with a solid heart. Serve your grandma well, and it will benefit you in the future." He then looked for some topical medicine.

Give it to her before someone sends her out.

Xiaohong walked in the front door and told Lin Yutong what she meant. Someone reported on the back and someone from the Lin family came with the doctor.

Jia Lian sighed: "This time I have accepted the favor of the Lin family."

After sighing, he quickly invited the doctor to come in. It turned out to be a happy pulse. It had been more than two months. Now that Wang Xifeng was in good health, the doctor only gave some instructions. Jia Lian quickly confirmed with the doctor the time for a follow-up consultation. This was because

The doctor was chosen by chance. After hearing the Lin family's words, the doctor was absolutely unstoppable. Ping'er took another twenty taels of silver for the diagnosis and sent the doctor out. Jia Lian was so happy that he didn't know it.

How's that? He asked, "Should I tell the old lady quickly?"

"That's right." Wang Xifeng took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Sir, you are indispensable for visiting Madam."

The elder is his biological father, so he should go in person. Jia Lian has no objection.

Not to mention how happy Wang Xifeng was when her wish came true over the years. Just say that Jia Lian trotted all the way into Jia Mu's yard.

"Now that you are so old, how can you still be so anxious and angry?" Jia Mu smiled and said, "What is this for?"

"Old lady, my grandson is going to be a father again." Jia Lian happily reported: "I came here to please the old lady."

"This is a great joy. But Ping'er is here." Jia Mu said angrily: "Then don't neglect your wife. Why don't you see her coming with you? Are you jealous again? Call her here, I'll take care of you.

Let’s talk about her.”

Jia Lian said: "My grandson is so happy that he is confused and cannot speak clearly. The one who is happy is my grandson's wife."

Jia Mu was stunned for a moment and then said: "This is a great event. Although that girl Ping'er is nice, she can't compare to Feng Yatou, a serious grandma who crawled out of her belly. Just look at Baoyu and Huan'er and you will know."

Naturally, Jia Lian prefers the legitimate son, but it would be better to have a concubine. This cannot be generalized. The Lin family is a concubine, but who dares to say that it is not good.

Yuanyang's heart felt chilly. Just looking at the old lady's attitude, she knew how little she cared about her aunt. She took the girls to congratulate Jia Lian, and Jia Lian happily agreed.

"You go and tell your master and his wife first, and ask them to rejoice as well." Jia Mu sent Jia Lian, "I'll go see your wife in a while."

"If you dare to work for the old lady, you will lose your fortune." Jia Lian said politely, turned around and went out.

Then I turned to the front and saw from a distance that Jia Zheng was sending a familiar person out. It was actually the chief historian of Prince Zhongshun's mansion. I had only heard of this chief historian of the prince's mansion and had no friendship with him.

Shi Geng didn't know why he condescended to come to Jia's house. He was muttering in his heart, but he couldn't get close to him. He quickly stepped away and stood under the corridor, blocked by early wood, and he managed to avoid it. Until the two of them

When he was out of sight, Jia Lian turned around and happened to see a guest of the master. He couldn't help but ask the reason why Chang Shi came to the house.

"But the second master of Baobao asked about a man named Qiguan." The Qingke said, shook his head, sighed and left quickly.

How come Jia Lian has never heard of Qiguan's name? That idiot Xue Pan has been coveting this Qiguan for a long time. Unexpectedly, this man fell in love with Baoyu. But it's no wonder, few people look down on Baoyu.

.

However, this was none of his business. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the master scolding Jia Huan.

I heard Brother Nahuan say: "... Baoyu wanted a gold bracelet, and when his wife found out, he beat him up. The gold bracelet was not angry and jumped into the well... His face was swollen as big as a basin, which was really scary."

Jia Lian thought to himself: Brother Huan is really good at complaining. He wanted to go up and explain a word or two to Baoyu, but for some reason, what Wang Xifeng said before could not help but flash in his mind. If he is not qualified to inherit this mansion

Here, who is the person who can inherit? When he thought about it, he stopped and turned around to tell the great master the good news.

After Jia Zheng heard Jia Huan's words, his anger suddenly welled up in his head. The death of a girl just gave him an outlet to vent. Playing with the girl at home is better than hanging out with famous actors and actresses. Tiao, play with the girl,

It's not a big problem with the young master. Who's child didn't do this? Speaking of which, it's not that embarrassing. It's considered to be a sin of "having sex and humiliating mothers and maidservants", which can be done at home.

Turnaround. It is not unusual for a mother to give her son a maid. But who is Qiguan? Not to mention that he is a member of Prince Zhongshun. Just because it is a man, Jia Zheng feels sick in his heart. Who knows who the father is?

My son still had all these problems behind his back, and he was so angry. But no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to bring it out in the open and scream for death. By chance, Jia Huan came over with such an excuse.

"You evildoer!" As soon as Jia Zheng entered the study, he pointed at Baoyu and shouted.

Jia Baoyu was feeling uneasy because he had betrayed Qi Guan. Now he asked Jia Zhengyi to scare him, and his face became even more ugly.

Over there, Jia Zheng felt even more uncomfortable. The eldest son was gone, and this one could see it. No matter how he didn't improve in his articles, he would scold him, but when did he really beat him? But he should never do it.

, I have such a problem in my body. Now that I am over a hundred years old, who can I rely on in the future? The more I think about Baoyu’s ineffectiveness, the angrier I feel. If I don’t get rid of this problem today, I can’t finish it. It won’t hurt.

If you kill him, he doesn't know how powerful it is.

Many other pilgrims came to persuade him, and Jia Zheng felt that he had lost all his dignity. Thinking of the sadness and embarrassment, he burst into tears.

The sticks hit Baoyu's body one after another. Jia Baoyu's mouth was blocked and he couldn't scream. Everyone saw that the beatings were really severe and tried to stop him, but Jia Zheng was really angry. He was not willing to comply. But he was clever.

I quickly sent a message to Mrs. Wang and the old lady.

While there was a commotion, Mrs. Wang came first. Seeing Baoyu being beaten like this, how could I not feel distressed? The eldest son couldn't help but cry again in front of Jia Zheng, which made Jia Zheng soften his heart. But he accompanied him

Li Wan, who came to see Jia's mother, felt really unhappy. Every time he mentioned the uncle, he seemed to be overly interested in him. Kelan'er and himself had never been looked at in a different light by his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Even her mother-in-law couldn't remember it for a year and a half.

There is also a grandson. Look at how the old lady treats Baoyu, and then look at how the mother-in-law treats Lan'er. They are both grandparents, so why are there such big differences. It can be seen that this crying uncle does not have much sincerity. If the uncle knew

I don't know what my son will think about when he is living in Jia's house. He is crying so sadly, she looks like a loving mother. However, it is not the uncle who is crying, but her own suffering...

This farce completely suppressed the joyful news of Wang Xifeng's pregnancy. Not to mention that no one came to congratulate them. No one in this family dared to smile on their faces. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were really unusual.

Wang Xifeng gave it up. He had seen through it long ago. He had no expectations and no big disappointment. Only Jia Lian was the serious eldest son and grandson, and his wife was pregnant. When he was feeling happy in his heart, he poured a basin of cold water on his head.

When he came down, he was completely heartbroken. He just said: "That's it, that's it. Let's just close the door and live our own lives. That's the right thing to do."

Otherwise, what else can you expect? Wang Xifeng snorted in her heart and sent Jia Lian, "I can't serve you now. You just go to Ping'er's place to rest. Tell the outside world that this baby is not stable and must be raised."

"Nonsense!" Jia Lian scolded: "You don't curse yourself like that. If you don't care about yourself, you have to care about your son." Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng's belly as if he was seeing a living baby.

"My Lord, don't do this. This family will start torturing me again. If you don't believe me, try it." Wang Xifeng closed her eyes and said.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of a girl talking outside. After a while, Xiaohong came in and said: "My wife sent someone to see when the second grandma will be free and go to Lin's house. The only fragrant dew at home is that of Osmanthus osmanthus, and

The rose one. Nowadays, the lotus one is more palatable. Mr. Bao’s appetite must have been bad these days, so it will taste sweeter with this thing. The Lin family should have these things, so just ask for some."

Jia Lian immediately said angrily: "What second master Bao? I am Baotian Wang, my son is not as important now." After saying that, he got up and went to Wang to refuse.

"Why are you causing trouble at this time?" Wang Xifeng stopped Jia Lian and told Xiaohong, "You just go to Ping'er. I remember asking her to keep the fragrant dew given by the Lin family. I don't have these useless things, they are useless.

Now I have found it, sent it to my wife, and sent it away. What a big deal."

Xiaohong responded and went. Jia Liancai said, "It's because I'm incompetent, so you've been wronged in this house."

Wang Xifeng's heart softened for a moment and said: "Why are you talking about this? Didn't the master live over there in the stable and say nothing? As juniors, we can still turn the world upside down. As long as the wife asks the second master to do things in the future, what will happen to the master?

There are so many evil intentions. To put it bluntly, if the empress is really going to be successful, how can we get it? Just look at the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony. The Xue family is more proud than our eldest family. You say, we are so stupid,

What are you planning on? If you don’t do it for me, you have to think about your eldest sister and the child in my belly. You have to leave something to pass on to your son, right?"

Jia Lian walked out of the house in a daze. The fierce woman in this family suddenly turned into a good wife. After such a long period of adaptation, he still didn't adapt well.

The attacker over there sent Mrs. Jia Muwang away, only to see Baoyu's injuries. He couldn't help but shed tears and said, "Why are you doing this this time?"

"It's not the sweat towel that's causing the trouble." Jia Baoyu was so hurt that she wanted to faint, and whispered: "Look, the injury is serious."

Xiren said angrily: "Can't it be awesome? His skin is torn. It's hard to take care of him in this hot weather." After feeling distressed and worried for a long time, he said: "I know that he is not a good person, so I advise the second master not to do it."

Make friends, but the second master won’t listen.”

Seeing that Baoyu was in pain and could not speak, he went to ask Xiaosi who was following Baoyu. Mingyan said: "Who knows how the news leaked. Only the Xue family uncle knows about this."

Xiren couldn't help but feel angry at the Xue family. When Xue Baochai came with the pills, she didn't say anything, but she couldn't help cursing in her heart: What can it do if you bring a pill? It doesn't matter whether it is prepared and brought, or the prescription is given.

It's easy for people to take medicine. It's a pill that doesn't matter. How do you use it? After using it, you can't change it to other medicines today. What are you trying to do?

Since Xue Baochai had thoughts in her heart about marrying Baoyu, she was naturally more willing to let go than at other times. Looking at Baoyu, her eyes turned red at first, "You are acting like this now because you don't listen to others' advice. Not to mention the old lady,

My wife is distressed, but we are watching..." She stopped for a moment, looked embarrassed, and couldn't say any more. But the lingering words were the most touching.

Jia Baoyu instantly felt that the pain on his body was relieved.

Shi Xiangyun opened the curtain and looked at one with a red face and red eye circles. The other looked at it dreamily and said with a smile: "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

The two of them were disturbed. Xue Baochai felt uncomfortable for a moment, then smiled and said to Shi Xiangyun: "Why can't people understand these words?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I understand in my heart." Shi Xiangyun laughed and said, "Second brother has fulfilled his wish now. The whole family, sisters and brothers, are all surrounding you."

Jia Baoyu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Why are you here, Sister Yun? Sit down quickly."

Shi Xiangyun did not sit down, but looked at Jia Baoyu who was covered with something, knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to stay any longer if he was wearing nothing underneath. He pursed his lips and smiled, chatted a few more words, and then pulled Xue Baochai to stand up and leave.

Jia Baoyu only felt that if he could win a few tears from his sisters, it would be worth it even if he died. He fell asleep in a daze. In his dream, he heard someone crying quietly in his ear. He opened his eyes and was in a trance.

He saw that it was Sister Lin who was crying, but he was in a daze. When he was about to speak, he saw that Sister Lin's shadow slowly faded away. He felt panicked, and suddenly as if he had lost something important, he shouted: "Sister!"

Lin Daiyu was in her dream when she was suddenly awakened by the sound of "sister". She suddenly sat up and covered her chest, only feeling a dull pain.

Xueyan and Fanghua hurried over and couldn't help asking: "Girl, what's going on?"

Before she could finish her question, Lin Daiyu vomited out all the food she had eaten in a day.

"It must be because of the heat." Fanghua asked Xueyan to clean up, and said: "You have to call the doctor quickly. I will report it to the eldest lady this time."

"Stop." Lin Daiyu knew that this was not heat stroke, but because her dream was too weird. She didn't want to trouble anyone, so she said, "Take out the pill and I'll take one. If it still doesn't work, we'll talk about it. Maybe I'm asleep."

It was because I pressed my chest with my hands when I vomited. I felt more comfortable after vomiting."

Fanghua didn't dare to disobey, so she nodded in agreement.

After cleaning up, Daiyu sent the girl out of the room and leaned on the soft pillow. She couldn't help but think of the dream just now. How could she be so sad in the dream? Baoyu was obviously seriously injured. She didn't know that this dream was a good omen.

It was still a bad omen. After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't sleep anymore. I just took the medical book beside my pillow and looked through it. After reading it, I started to understand it.

Jia Baoyu called her "sister" but did not keep Lin Daiyu. She suddenly woke up from her dream. Not caring about the pain on her body, she remembered that the only one she hadn't seen today was Sister Lin. Thinking of Sister Lin's shadow in her dream

The room became more and more blurry, and I felt a dull pain in my heart. Seeing that the attacker hadn't woken up, Qingwen opened the curtain and came to check, and whispered: "You may leave the house tomorrow."

Seeing that Baoyu was sweating, Qingwen didn't know what was wrong with him. She asked, "I can get out of course. Do you have any instructions or things to do?"

"Go to Lin's house for me tomorrow to see Sister Lin." Jia Baoyu said, covering her chest.

"It's so good. There's no reason for me to go to someone's house. Besides, the Lin family has strict rules. If I go there, I may not be able to see them. Even Zicuckoo has not been heard from for several days.

"There is no one to look for." Qingwen couldn't help but said in a daze. How could this man have thought of this in the middle of the night?

"You just sent something over." Jia Baoyu shook his head, pointed to the handkerchief beside him and said, "That's it."

I specially sent an old handkerchief as a gift. What kind of pretext was this? Qingwen saw that this man looked bad, so she obviously wasn't joking, so she hurriedly followed. The worst thing is that she can go out tomorrow.

"Don't let Xi Ren know." Jia Baoyu glanced at the sleeping Xi Ren and ordered.

Qingwen nodded inexplicably. "I'll go there early tomorrow morning."

Apart from paying attention to Wang Xifeng's pregnancy, Lin Yutong paid no attention to anything else. The next morning, he was bitten by an insect on his arm, and then he remembered to change the window screen.

I selected fine gauze from the warehouse, took the sky blue one and asked the girls to hold it, and then changed the window screens in Lin Ruhai and Lin Yuyang's study room.

As soon as she arrived at the outer courtyard, she found out that Wen Tianfang had come to visit Lin Ruhai. It was not convenient for her to go there first. She had to go to Lin Yuyang's courtyard and instruct the girls to change.

In Lin Ruhai's study, Weng and his son-in-law were sitting opposite each other.

"Father-in-law." Wen Tianfang said with some embarrassment: "My son-in-law has no elders in his family, so he came rashly to discuss the marriage in person. Please forgive me, father-in-law."

Lin Ruhai couldn't be dissatisfied when he looked at such a son-in-law. But if he really wanted to marry his daughter right away, how could he be willing to do so? He smiled and said, "Tong'er hasn't gotten married yet. It's too early to talk about marriage now."

Wen Tianfang smiled and said: "Although this is a gifted marriage, the three matchmaking and six etiquettes that should be followed are indispensable. My son-in-law will definitely not dare to wrong the eldest girl."

This is true. Lin Ruhai really can't refute it. The more neatly the husband's gifts are, the more valuable the daughter will be. He pondered for a long time before saying: "Then send the matchmaker to the door."

Wen Tianfang felt happy that the marriage had finally entered a formal process. So the two talked about the affairs of the court again.

"The emperor's intention is that he still needs to reuse his father-in-law." Wen Tianfang revealed.

"Nowadays, it's hard for someone to get away from being reused." There was nothing Lin Ruhai couldn't say directly in front of Wen Tianfang. His son-in-law had something to hide.

"I feel relieved that my father-in-law thinks so." Wen Tianfang whispered: "Last night, the emperor also talked about the arrangements for my father-in-law. He was planning to add the title of Taibao to the Crown Prince. But I refused. The matter of the crown prince is too sensitive.

One of them was bad and got implicated."

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief and became even more satisfied when looking at Wen Tianfang.

After Lin Yutong finished cleaning up for Lin Yuyang, she didn't know how long Lin Ruhai and Wen Tianfang were going to talk, so she thought, if it didn't work, she would go back first and ask someone to pack the food. She didn't want to just leave the yard and see the two people coming out of Lin Ruhai's yard.

After seeing all this, it was too petty to hide away. Lin Yutong generously came over to salute, and asked: "Are you not going to leave until you have eaten?"

The corners of Wen Tianfang's lips curled up, and his mood suddenly brightened, "No. The Emperor has some errands to do. Let's wait for another day."

Lin Ruhai saw the servants holding bundles of yarn and asked, "What are they doing?"

"I want to change the window screens for my father and Brother Yang. Ordinary window screens can't catch these little bugs," Lin Yutong said with a smile.

The windows are covered with fine gauze! Lin Ruhai said cheerfully: "Okay! You can change it if you like." Then she glanced at Wen Tianfang and thought to herself, my daughter is such a prodigal, can you afford to support her?

Wen Tianfang looked at the girl's cheerful face and said with a smile: "I said yesterday that there are always bugs in the house, which is really annoying. I didn't even think about changing the window screens."

Lin Yutong was stunned. What does this mean? Does he want to change it? Then he said: "Then take a few volumes back and use them. It will be troublesome to open the warehouse again to find this."

Wen Tianfang immediately agreed with a smile. There was a bit of pride on his face. It doesn't matter whether I can afford it or not, as long as I get a wife who knows how to go to my own house.

Lin Ruhai's mouth twitched. She is really an outgoing girl.

Lin Yutong didn't understand what kind of riddle the father-in-law and son-in-law were playing, so he happily sent Wen Tianfang away and went to Lin Ruhai's study to mess around. Lin Ruhai watched the child take good care of the family, and he didn't even have a day to spare.

I really couldn't bear to let her get married. I always thought that it would be easier at home than being a wife for someone else.

After busy talking all morning, I had lunch and then took a break. I heard Chun'er come to report that there was a girl named Qingwen outside the corner gate, who came to say hello to the second girl. Qingwen, Chun'er naturally knew her, but the person at the corner gate

The servant didn’t know me. Then I reported him.

"What is she here for?" Lin Yutong frowned and said, "That's all. If you stop me this time, you won't be able to stop me the next time. She has to figure it out herself anyway."

Chun'er just went out, picked up Qingwen, and went directly to Lin Daiyu's yard. Lin Daiyu had been having a dream that kept her awake since last night. She was in a bad mood right now. When she saw Qingwen, she was stunned and said:

"Why are you here?"

Qingwen was intimidated by the Lin family's rules and did not dare to speak casually. When she saw Chun'er, she just said: "I'm out to do some business, and I want to pay my respects to the girl."

Chun'er smiled and didn't expose it. She just said she had something to do and left.

"But Baoyu asked you to come..." Lin Daiyu couldn't help but asked: "He is injured."

"Has this matter been spread out? Even Miss Lin knows about it." Qingwen was stunned, "They have these little hooves. They should have boils on their mouths, and their tongues should be rotten."

"It's actually true." Lin Daiyu was shocked. No one believed this. She suppressed the panic in her heart and said, "What did he have to say when he asked you to come?"

"Not really." Qingwen handed over the handkerchief with some embarrassment, "Baoyu asked me to bring it to the girl."

Daiyu took it in her hand and was stunned for a moment when she saw the old handkerchief that was commonly used in the family. (. )
