Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Chapter 124 tit for tat (1)

Chen Ruiwen has already stood up and apologized: "It seems like she said something out of choice, she didn't mean it."

He winked at Lin Wanru again, but Lin Wanru didn't move, Chen Ruiwen couldn't help being anxious, it didn't matter what he said after closing the door, but now he was breaking the window paper brightly, isn't this something to talk to?Rumor has it that people not only say that Guan Shi is old and disrespectful, but also that he seems to be disrespectful to his elders.

Shen Aixiao remained silent all this time, and said at this time: "Wan Ru is right, when Sister Man gets married, her mother-in-law needs to train her well. The lessons learned from the past will teach the future, even if it is a child raised by my aunt. It’s only when you get on the stage.”

For a while, the big furniture was silent, or Chen Yongming broke the embarrassment and talked about other things.

Not long after, someone spread the word that the carriage arrived, and everyone greeted them together. A group of men and women alighted from the carriage. When they saw Shen Aixiao and Guan Shi, they all came to kowtow to say hello. Shen Aixiao was in a good mood and happily helped The two men led by Li got up: "I wrote a letter years ago, why are you here now?"

One of the third master Shen Tan and the fourth master Shen Wan said that they were delayed on the road, and the other said that the uncle would not let him go. Shen Aixiao nodded with a smile, and then looked at the three middle-aged women behind, one was the fourth grandma Zhao, and the other The two are Shen Erniang and Shen Sanniang.

There are also Shen Erniang's husband, Feng Jiawen, and Shen Sanniang's husband, Gao Yuan. As for the younger generation, there are Shen Zheng from the Xiaoguan family, Shen Nuo, Shen Fu, Shen Rong under the fourth grandmother's knees, and Shen Erniang's children Feng Yi and Feng Ying, Shen Sanniang's twin daughters Gao Ning'er and Gao Mi'er.

When everyone reunited after a long absence, it was unavoidable that Guan Shi was surrounded by his daughter and granddaughter, smiling from ear to ear. Lin Wanru felt sad when he thought of his aunt who was alone in Lianhua Hutong.Standing back calmly, Chen Ruiwen looked at her worriedly, but he couldn't spare himself to take care of him, and was dragged by several uncles and uncles to talk.

After everyone went in and sat down, the juniors all moved the embroidered pier to sit around the elders, Erniang Shen was somewhat similar to the Shen family.With a refreshing personality, he glanced at the people in the room and only saw Lin Wanru as a stranger, so he guessed that it might be Lin Wanru, Aunt Shen's daughter, and said with a smile: "Didn't it mean that Wu Niang came to Beijing too? Why don't you see Wu Niang?" mother?"

Guan snorted, "There are people who are very precious, please do not hesitate to ask three times and four times."

Shen Aixiao also frowned.He ordered: "Call Wu Niang to come and reunite the whole family. How can we do without her."

The servants went away at the sound, but Shen Sanniang's eyes turned straight, her mind was active, she was smiling when she spoke and did everything, she had no son, only two daughters.Now that he came to the capital, he hoped to take advantage of the power of the Chen family to find two noble sons-in-law, so that he could have someone to rely on in the future, and now Lin Wanru became the young mistress of the Chen family.There is no benefit in offending her, so he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen Wanru, she looks somewhat similar to Wuniang, and she's also a beauty."

He called Gao Ning'er and Gao Mi'er again: "Haven't you come to see my cousin?"

Gao Ning'er and Gao Mi'er are twins, almost identical in appearance, and they are both like flowers and jade. At this time, they heard their mother speak, looked at each other, stood up reluctantly, and walked in front of Lin Wanru.

Before saluting, Guan said: "They are all of the same generation. No matter what kind of ceremony you do, you are not afraid of losing your life. Ninger Mier is here. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Gao Ning'er and Gao Mi'er laughed and ran to Guan Shi, Lin Wanru just stared at the ground expressionlessly.

Not long after, the servant who went to Lianhua Hutong came back: "Grandma Wugu has guests, and the uncle and wife of the Jiang family are here. The slave said that the master invited grandma Wugu, but grandma Wugu didn't say anything, but the wife said that the family was preparing for a wedding. Please ask grandma Wugu to take a look at her new house, and grandma Wugu then went to Sixi Hutong."

In fact, Mrs. Jiang was talking about the yard prepared for the new concubine, but she didn't dare to say it. Guan's face froze immediately, and Shen Aixiao said: "That's a pity, the family reunion is so easy, you go again , Just say what I said, I’m busy today, I’ll definitely come over some other day.”

However, Erniang Shen talked about Shen Man's marriage: "I heard that the third sister-in-law told Sister Man about such a marriage. I was really worried. How could she be a concubine? She is the eldest granddaughter of our Shen family. What a shame."

Guan's face darkened, while the young Guan's remained silent. Shen Aixiao said: "What can I do if I don't become a concubine? Could it be that she will be a green lantern and ancient Buddha forever?" His tone was a bit harsh, and Erniang Shen didn't dare to say anything. .

At noon and night, of course, wine was set up, and it was quite lively. Not to mention the men, even the female relatives drank a few glasses. When it was dark, the Shen family left. Chen Ruiwen drank some wine and looked at Lin Wanru. She didn't smile the whole night, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Back in the mansion, Shen Shi lost her temper with Lin Wanru for the first time: "When you say something like that in front of people, others will only say that you don't understand the rules. Now that you are still young, you are so frivolous. In the future, you will be the host of the middle school in the mansion. , are you still so restless? People like us deal with either the princes or the royal relatives, which one is easy to provoke? Even if you are an enemy behind your back, you still have to be kind in front of others, happy and angry In appearance, you are so impetuous, and when you are provoked by others in the future, you will speak freely, how can I rest assured that you can deal with people alone?"

Lin Wanru knelt on the ground without making a sound, Chen Yongming said with a smile: "Forget it, this matter is over, and we can't do it like this in the future. After all, we are relatives, we are connected by flesh and blood, so we must face it."

Chen Ruiwen was sitting at the side, but he couldn't say anything. Whether it was mother's blame or father's persuasion, they were all kind, and he couldn't interfere, but his heart ached. Seeing Lin Wanru's head bowed, Shen's expression softened a little , Said: "Don't go out these few days, shut your door at home and think about your mistakes, copy the "Nv Ze Nv Xun" a hundred times, when will you finish copying, and when will you come here."

Lin Wanru respectfully agreed, and Shen Shi sent them back.

Once he arrived at Tao Ranju, Lin Wanru didn't care about it, he sat down at the desk and began to silently write the women's training for women. Chen Ruiwen looked at her distressedly, and said, "It's been a long day, let's rest first."

Lin Wanru acted as if she hadn't heard, Chen Ruiwen was also in a hurry, and snatched the pen from her hand, Lin Wanru was in a daze at first, and then lay down on the table and started crying, Chen Ruiwen's heart seemed to be tightly grasped, and he hurriedly hugged her. Coaxing her in her arms: "Mother only said a few words to you for your own good, and it's not that I'm separated from you, so don't be sad."

Lin Wanru sobbed and said, "I'm not angry because of this. Guan Shi is so arrogant and doesn't know the rules. What's wrong with her? But everyone still lets her go. Why? Why didn't she divorce? She's like this Is someone who is worthy of being the mistress of the Shen family?"

Chen Ruiwen sighed: "Guan's father is kind to the Shen family. The Shen family will not divorce her no matter what, and it has been going on for decades. Why should they fall short and have a seizure when they are old? Say no." If you are respectful, she can still live for a few years, so why bother with her."

However, Lin Wanru was furious: "Then who should my aunt turn to to reason? Mrs. Guan forced my aunt to become a concubine, but the Shen family didn't say a word, and felt that she had disgraced the Shen family and wouldn't associate with her. That being the case, why is he yelling at his aunt now? Shen Aixiao didn't love his aunt as much as his daughter, so why did he still order her? He always called Wu Niang to come and ask Wu Niang to do something, what right did he have to say? This word? Every time I see him like this, I get angry, and I wish I could rush up and tell him, Auntie is not your daughter, so stop shouting at her!"

It was the first time for Chen Ruiwen to see Lin Wanru revealing his emotions like this. He was a little worried, a little distressed, and a little doting. He kissed the tears on Lin Wanru's face like a dragonfly, and couldn't stop echoing her: "You're right...we don't care about it. He...don't be angry for such a person..."

Lin Wanru's heart was pierced like a knife, and she burst into tears.

What she regretted the most in her previous life was not being filial to her parents, and making them feel ashamed, so she swore that no matter what happened in this life, she would make her aunt happy. Go, I couldn't bear it, so I ran to persuade Jiang Dao.

Otherwise, Shen Man's life and death has nothing to do with her. What she can't tolerate the most is Shen Aixiao's attitude towards Aunt Shen. She always wants to ignore Guan's harm to Aunt Shen and make Aunt back down again and again. Watching my aunt being wronged?

Lin Wanru cried and fell asleep exhaustedly. Chen Ruiwen looked at the person in his arms, but he could feel everything. How can we explain the grievances and resentments of the previous generation? After all, Guan gave birth to two sons Two daughters, in order to vent anger for one daughter of the mother-in-law, don't you want the other four?It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, even if the emperor himself made the decision at the beginning, it was just a sloppy eye, and both sides smoothed the field.

For the next few days, Mrs. Shen ran to Mrs. Shen's old house. Lin Wanru didn't follow because she thought about her mistakes behind closed doors. She copied the instructions on women's rules on the first day, but she didn't go to Mrs. Shen. The thing is to do needlework.

Sometimes, with a needle in hand, their expressions would be in a daze. Lu Ni and Long Yan looked at each other very uneasy. Go and invite Chen Ruiwen. Chen Ruiwen also goes out every day, walking here and there with his cousins. She lived in peace all day, sometimes when she came back late, Lin Wanru had already fallen asleep and couldn't say a word.

Lu Ni's wedding is coming soon, and now she is no longer serving her, but after all, she has been in charge for a long time, and the girls all hoped that she would come up with an idea. After thinking about it, she quietly sent a letter to Jia's house, asking Lin Daiyu to come over.

Lin Daiyu thought that Lin Wanru was being bullied, so she not only came here by herself, but also brought Jia Baoyu. Seeing Lin Wanru's look haggard, she was very distressed: "Last time I looked at it, but it's only been a few days, and it's become Like this?"

Lin Wanru said: "I'm fine, why did I disturb my sister and brother-in-law?"

Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "I heard that you are not good. Your sister is in a hurry. There is always a reason for everything. Did you quarrel with Ruiwen? Or have you been wronged by other things? My brother-in-law will always vent your anger on you."
