The husband of the Red Chamber is upright

Chapter 13

We originally met on the second day, but now that we met, Jia Lin was not pretentious, and greeted Lin Ruhai as a junior, and said, "Student Jia Lin has met Mrs. Lin." If he is a descendant, it should be It was my nephew who met my uncle.Fortunately, Jia Lin already has a reputation and can call herself a student, otherwise, it would be a bit nondescript to say that my nephew met Master Lin.

Lin Ruhai had heard Lin Duo talk about many things about Jia's mansion before, and he was really unhappy. Looking at Jia Lin's style of aristocratic family, if he hadn't believed in Lin Duo's character, he should have suspected Lin Duo of lying at this time. up.After all, if it wasn't for a famous and wealthy family, how could they cultivate such a romantic and elegant person?But now, Lin Ruhai can only sigh a pity, such a character was born in Jia's family, and he is a concubine, so it was a delay, a delay.

It's not that Lin Ruhai looks down on concubines, it's just the way things are in the world. In officialdom, concubines from meritorious families are sometimes inferior to poor scholars from farming and studying families.If it is the son of a meritorious family, then at least the family is married to each other, and there is affection for each other. This is actually a large network of personal relationships. With this, the official career is much smoother.However, ordinary aristocratic families are not willing to deal with bastards, at least they were like this before you became an extreme minister.If you were born in poverty, as long as you have a noble character, you will naturally be able to enter the Qingliu lineage.But in Qingliu's eyes, the concubine of the aristocratic family also brought the second son of the aristocratic family. After all, you are still relying on the protection of your ancestors.

It can be said that if you want to become an official, it is indeed more difficult for a concubine from an aristocratic family than others.Of course, there are also aunts who are generous and don’t suppress the future of the concubine very much. Even when the concubine is not up to date, she still wants the concubine to make achievements, so that she can support her own family in turn. The law also guarantees the status of the son-in-law - at this time, the family will help behind the scenes.It's just that Jia Lin obviously doesn't have this advantage.The elder brother in front of him and the younger brother in the back, in the eyes of everyone in the Jia family, should be stronger than him.

Lin Ruhai somehow remembered what Lin Duo had said about the thief who suddenly appeared on the boat... He looked at Jia Lin with a kinder gaze for a moment, and said, "Just call me uncle, it's okay." People will say something more. Your aunt is not in good health. If I don’t see you today, you don’t have to take it to heart. Later, I will ask someone to set up a meal in the study. You can eat with me. Afterwards, I can also test you knowledge." At the end of these words, Lin Ruhai naturally put on the style of the elders.

Jia Lin obediently agreed.Although he didn't intend to take advantage of Lin Ruhai's favor, if Lin Ruhai offered an olive branch first, he would be willing to accept it.After all, there is a relationship between them after all, even if they don't want to get involved, they can't be separated.Seeing his calm demeanor, Lin Ruhai was even more happy, and felt that he had made the right arrangement, at least let Jia Lin live in Tingsong Pavilion. Although this is not the largest courtyard in Lin's mansion, it is the most elegant, and it can stand up to Jia. Lynn's temperament.

He watched Lin Ruhai go to the inner courtyard.Only then did Jialin put away the gentle smile on her face.He is a little worried about Qin Shu now, and it was necessary to separate at that time. Now that he has arrived in Yangzhou, he doesn't know how to meet Qin Shu.Qin Shu, Qin Shu, Jia Lin said the name silently.I don't know whose family owned the Baiyun Village. After Jia Lin got to know Qin Shu, although she wanted to investigate this point, she shelved it because she had no clue.Now that I think about it, although there are no useful people around Jia Lin, it is impossible not to find out any information. Maybe that Zhuangzi belongs to a certain royal relative?If the owner of Baiyunzhuang committed a taboo, no one would dare to mention it.In other words, the most taboo thing in the royal family these days is naturally all kinds of things related to the former prince.After the former prince committed suicide with a knife, only the second son was left behind. Counting his age, he should be eleven, two or three by now... Jia Lin's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't have offended this legendary loyal and obedient prince. right?That's right, the current Holy Majesty hated the former prince so much that he gritted his teeth. After all, the former prince was involved in the troubles of the court and rebellion. However, since the prince committed suicide, this matter has turned up many doubts. Therefore, today Although the emperor did not restore his crown prince after the death of the former crown prince, he also posthumously named him the prince of loyalty and obedience. Jia En descended to the rank after three consecutive generations, and now he is the only surviving second son of the former crown prince. .

No, it won't be Prince Zhongshun. Although Prince Zhongshun rarely appears in front of people and ordinary people don't see his face, he will not be reduced to the point where he can't eat well or dress well, right?Now, except for the eldest prince who has been crowned Lord Zhongyong, even the most favored third prince has not been crowned king yet. Even though Lord Zhongshun is a little younger and a generation behind, he is the only prince of the Tian family after all. Wealth is still there.Besides, Qin Shu's surname Qin will not come for nothing. If he wants to remain anonymous and is unwilling to recognize his father's surname, then he should inherit his mother's surname.The former crown prince's surname is Zhang, and I have never heard that any capable person around the former crown prince is surnamed Qin.Wait, Qin Keqing's surname is Qin... It is said that Qin Keqing's identity is inseparable from the Tian family.

Jialin's head hurt from thinking about it.Or maybe, he was thinking too much?Maybe Qin Shu's life experience is not so complicated?Maybe it was because there was a certain master standing behind Qin Shu, and the person who came to assassinate him was not for Qin Shu himself, but for the master behind him.

Now the news at hand is really too little, let's take it one step at a time.Thinking about it, although Qin Shu is not very old, he is mature inside, so he should be able to keep himself safe.

When it was time for dinner, someone came to hear that Songge had invited Jia Lin.The Lin family is rich, but it doesn't appear on the surface. Like Jia's mansion, there are all kinds of antiques and jade on the Duobao Pavilion.Let's take this meal as an example. When Jia Lin entered the main room, she saw only eight or nine dishes on the table, which was not as extravagant as Jia's.It's no wonder that those ignorant and powerful servants in Jia's house look down on the Lin family.

Jia Lin was reborn as a human being, and he knew very well that a family's heritage can be seen from the dishes of a family.It's not that you eat delicacies from mountains and seas all the time to show how rich your family is, and it's not that you have to eat ordinary side dishes to show how expensive your family is. The real noble families have their own menus that have been handed down from generation to generation.Not in quantity, but in quality.Of course, the Jia Mansion has been passed down for three to five generations, so they can actually be considered to be able to eat.But the route they take is different from that of the Lin Mansion. Jia's Mansion aims to be rich and mellow, while Lin's Mansion aims to cultivate one's health meticulously.But looking at it this way, it's hard to say who is more superior.

The host and guest enjoy a meal.Jia Lin had a heart, and Lin Ruhai agreed, and the chat became even more enjoyable after that.When it was time to send Jia Lin back to listen to Songge, Lin Ruhai was already a good nephew one by one.Jia Lin went back to the house, and Lin Zhong brought something back. He actually heard the contract of prostitution from the maids in the Song Pavilion.

Maybe Lin Duo said something... Jia Lin understood in her heart, but naturally accepted the refusal.There are six maidservants in Tingsong Pavilion, two of the second class and four of the third class.After the deed of sale was in hand, Jia Lin didn't wait for them. After all, they still lived in the Lin family, but they changed their names.The two second-class ones are only Fu'er and Lu'er.The four third-class ones are called pen, ink, paper and inkstone.Xiao Qi is young, as long as he doesn't delay important matters, Jia Lin doesn't like to stick to his temper too much, so he sometimes likes to be naughty in front of Jia Lin, this time he heard this, just pouted and laughed at him: "Master , look at the name you chose... I thought that the young master has read poetry and books, not to mention that the names of the maids all have allusions, so it should be better than Lian's second grandma who are safe and happy."

"What do you know? In your opinion, is it a good name such as careful words, few words, cautious mind, and thoughtful actions? Your young master, although I also want to be a gentleman, but after all, I still live in this world of mortals. , naturally I also love the wealth, wealth and longevity that the worldly people pay attention to. The name is just to win the prize. If you really think about it carefully, you will fall behind." Jialin said this very righteously.He naturally thought so in his heart.As far as he is concerned, what is attacking Qingwen is not as pleasant and festive as pearl agate.

When Lin Ruhai heard about this, he laughed instead, and said: "It should be like this, it should be like this, this is just a gentleman's magnanimity." From this, it can be seen that Lin Ruhai is still very genuine, when admiring a person, I thought he was good no matter what.

The next day, Jia Lin met Jia Min.I thought that Jia Min was in poor health, and it was just that his body was weak, but in such a family, blood swallow ginseng will not be broken, as long as it is well maintained, even if it is a little haggard, it will not be too much .However, when she saw Jia Min, Jia Lin was taken aback.It's already the beginning of June, and there is still a brazier burning in the corner of the room. Maybe Jia Min didn't lie on the bed as a gift to meet the guests, but let an old woman lean on her and half sit on the edge of the bed. .Her face was pale, and even after applying powder, she still looked sickly. She was thin. When Jia Lin accidentally caught a glimpse of her wrist, she felt that it was so thin that it was about to break.However, such Jia Min is still beautiful, but this beauty has a thrilling feeling.

There was a faint smell of medicine in the room.It's only been less than two months... There are still eight months to go before giving birth, and Jia Lin always feels that Jia Min doesn't seem to be able to last until that time.He only said some superficial words, and then got up to leave. He really couldn't stay in this room for too long, so as not to tire Jia Min.As for Fairy Lin, although she was raised in Jia Min's yard, she didn't take her out to meet people this time. Jia Lin didn't feel very regretful that she didn't meet.
