The husband of the Red Chamber is upright

Chapter 8

When other people's affairs do not involve themselves, they can be viewed as a big drama.It's just that Jia Lin couldn't laugh when she got involved with herself.Because he is well versed in political affairs, he knew very well that when the crown prince was still alive, although the two houses of Zhennanhou and Xijinhou didn't know how to plan in secret, they supported the prince on the surface.But now, they are vacillating between the third prince and the fourth prince.In the matter of seizing the heir, one should either not participate in it at all, and once involved, it is most taboo to be vacillating at both ends.Don't look at them now that they are in a good position, in fact, they may have already been hated by the superiors.

Therefore, the question now is not whether Jia Lin is really forced to marry—according to the status of the two parties, it is likely to marry—a male wife, but that the entire Rongguo Mansion may have been involved in the turmoil of seizing the heir.Although Jia Lin knew in her heart that there would always be a day when the Rongguo Mansion would be ransacked and exterminated, he didn't care about it before. It was because he thought it would be more than ten years later. According to his plan, at that time He and Aunt Zhou had already escaped from this dirty mansion.And as long as he and Aunt Zhou are still in this mansion for a day, he doesn't want Rongguo Mansion to be implicated in disasters.

Now I just hope that what Jia Lian said doesn't count. After all, the old Duke is no longer here, and Yuan Chun has already decided to enter the palace. Even if there is a marriage contract, he still wants to fool it.

Jia Lian's work efficiency was very fast. The day before he left, he sent over the list of people who were going to Yangzhou this time.Jia Lin handed over the list to Wufu and told him to check the names carefully.This workload is a bit heavy. In fact, Jia Lin also used his family members when she hinted that Wufu needed it.Fortunately, because Jia's mother was worried about Jia Min's health, the people she sent were all family members who tried to be safe, so the people on the list were all family members who lived in Jia's family for generations, but there were a lot of people. Before leaving, it finally fell into Jia Lin's hands.

Xiaoqi worked hard for two days, but also gained something.The little guy stood in front of Jia Lin with a face of "seeking praise", and happily talked about the news he had found out: "This time, the Lin family sent us to spread the news, and the person in charge is a man named Zhou Quan." The steward of his family, his daughter-in-law is a proud person around his aunt, and the whole family is a dowry dowry from our house. Because of his aunt, he is very respectable in the Lin family. However, there is another person named Lin There are many, I heard that they are old people around the deceased Mrs. Lin. The news of the young ones comes from Zhouquan, but Lin Duo has been living in the courtyard arranged by the servants of the Lin family in the mansion. He never goes out easily." From Xiao Qi's point of view, someone like Lin Duo has kept his duty as a servant, and Zhou Quan, who eats and drinks everywhere, is outrageous.Although Xiao Qi is young, he has been growing up with his grandfather. He often hears his grandfather talk about the past of Jia's mansion, so he looks down on the current behavior of the servants in Jia's mansion.

Jia Lin took a paper fan, tapped Xiao Qi on the head, and said, "Don't be fooled, tell me quickly, what news have you got?"

"Hey, I heard that since my aunt gave birth to Miss Cousin, she always lay on the bed for seven or eight days out of ten. She felt that she had lost the fate of a son in this life, so she made the decision to raise a commission from a housekeeper next to my uncle. I lost my aunt, and devoted myself to taking care of that aunt... Now this aunt is also pregnant. I also heard that this aunt was originally my aunt's dowry girl, and she came out of our house." Xiaoqi touched himself With a bald forehead, he grinned, "Zhouquan's tongue is not strict, listen to what he means, the aunt's pregnancy... is a bit mysterious, not as safe as that aunt."

Jia Lin touched her paper fan, lost in thought.

This time and space is different from the time and space where Cao Xueqin, the author of A Dream of Red Mansions, lives—in other words, the world has its own rules, which fill in many gaps—at least, there was no such thing as a concubine in the Qing Dynasty who only got ten percent of the family. There are rules of a family property, but there are no rules here. Therefore, Jia Min let the aunt next to Lin Ruhai conceive.The Lin family does not have a title, so raising a concubine as a legitimate son is not a hindrance.In this way, if Jia Min can no longer give birth to a son, he will directly raise the bastard by his side, and he will always be able to raise him well from an early age. With a little care, he will have to be much worse than his own son.And if Jia Min can still give birth to a son-in-law, then the son-in-law will be a son-in-law after all, and he can be sent away at will in the future.It can be said that the aunt's belly is just Jia Min's spare tire.

From Jia Lin's point of view, Lin Ruhai's lack of heirs may be due to Lin Ruhai, but Jia Min must not have done it simply, otherwise Lin Ruhai's backyard would have been filled with concubines and aunts.Now, the mistress and aunt of the Lin family are both pregnant, I am afraid that the water in the Lin family is already muddy, Madam Wang knows this, so she secretly plans to send herself to Yangzhou smoothly?

Jia Lin called Xiao Qi over, and whispered to him: "Although Lin Duo doesn't leave the yard, he still has his ears. You try to find a way to tell him what's going on in this mansion, and don't say much about it. Just tell him how Second Lord Bao, who is doted on by everyone in our mansion, got a rouge box when he was catching Zhou." Xiao Qi was a little surprised when he heard this, but still nodded in agreement.

The farce of Bao Erye's arrest of Zhou can be regarded as a scandal in the mansion.A dull-minded person, such as Jia Zheng, is probably just driven mad by his youngest son, thinking that this boy will not become a great weapon in the future.But in fact, people with a little more careful mind can think of many things because of it.For example, how did the rouge box appear in the grabbing items? The children of the head of the house can be framed. Is the head of the house too useless, or someone is too rampant?No matter which point reflects the injustice of the inner court.Furthermore, some servants talked about the second master Bao's arrest of Zhou, which also showed that the government in the mansion is really lax.Master or master, servant or not, will be laughed at, at least, such an orthodox family as the Lin family will not look down on them.Thirdly, Jia Zheng's last act of walking away in front of all the guests was really inappropriate, which obviously did not save face for his wife.What can the second master Bao know when he is just one year old? Jia Zheng said that "you taught a good son", maybe to avoid embarrassment for himself, but in fact he was hitting Mrs. Wang in the face.

The inner courtyard is not fair, the servants are rampant, and the embarrassment of the first wife in public, such a family is really not a good candidate for marriage.

Jia Lin asked Xiaoqi to find a way to let Lin Duo know about this matter, but in fact it was to show her shame at home.This kind of behavior is really immoral.Fortunately, even though Xiao Qi kept calling Jia's mansion our mansion, he knew that his real master was Jia Lin, and he would only be good if Jia Lin was good. .Therefore, although he hesitated for a while, he still complied with Jia Lin's wishes.If Wufu is here, I'm afraid Wufu will persuade Jia Lin to think more about it.Wufu is much more orthodox than Xiaoqi, and even though the Li family has been relegated to the Zhuangzi, in fact, the Li family is still loyal to Jia's house in their hearts—it is Jia's house, not Jia's mother.Knowing this, Jia Lin sent Wu Fu to take care of outside affairs and kept Xiao Qi by her side.

"Wait, we shouldn't do this." After Xiao Qi stepped over the threshold, Jia Lin called him back again, "There are almost no people in the mansion that we can really trust, and it's nothing to ask for news. Forget it, if you really plan something, I'm afraid you'll lose your tail... Forget it, you don't have to do it anymore, just wait until we get on the boat to Yangzhou, and you don't make a fuss to ask for Lin Duo's good."

It is best to use the way of the inner court to resolve matters in the inner court.Although Jia Lin was reborn as a human being, she was a man after all. Although she had a clear understanding of the war between women, her scheming was inferior.Now he thought of a good candidate, and this person was Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng might have hated Mrs. Wang at this moment, but Mrs. Wang has a deep foundation in the mansion. Wang Xifeng even cleaned up the people in her own yard carefully. It's not good, so I avoided many days in my own yard only for the reason of keeping myself healthy.Wang Xifeng may not be able to use big tactics, but if she can calmly treat Mrs. Wang's (or even the second wife's) eye drops in the Lin family, she is probably willing in her heart.

So, when Jia Lian was going out, Jia Lin blocked Jia Lian outside the mansion, and suddenly mentioned such a thing: "Among the servants in our mansion who came back from Lin's mansion, there is a servant who is said to have been reused by Mrs. Lin. Old servant... tell me, does this mean that the Lin family wants to see our precious brother Baoyu? He will be boasting about flowers, maybe Aunt Min and Master Lin have this idea of ​​getting closer to each other! Alas, this is also Baoyu's blessing. In terms of position, he must have real power, wealth, and simplicity in the emperor's heart..." These words were extremely bitter, even when Jia Lian heard that he did it on purpose, he couldn't help becoming sour.

Regarding Lin Ruhai's address, if Jia Lin called her uncle, it would be a warm gesture, but if she called her an adult, it would be her duty.Jia Lin felt that before getting Lin Ruhai's consent, he should honestly call him an adult.Who told him to be a concubine? No matter what he thinks in his heart, in front of outsiders, no matter how young and talented he is, it is better to stick to his duty, which will make people feel more favorable.
