246 Xue Yan: Who gave this courage?

Was it because Ding had a premeditated plan, so he took advantage of the opportunity, or was there some other reason that forced him to make up his mind and cut off his tail to survive?

...... Or is it both?

Xue Yan carefully went through the relevant information of the Ding family and his aunt's family again, and became more and more inclined to have other hidden secrets in it that he didn't know:

You must know that sending people to Zhuangzi can be uniformly said externally because these people are derelict in their duties, but internally, there is no impermeable wall - the rest of the Lin family knew that the Ding family actually asked the master mother to make a mistake and was the only remaining relative, so it made no sense not to secretly scold a gossip such as "ruthless, white-eyed wolf" or "not even letting go of relatives in order to please his wife".

- Come to think of it, the Ding family was hindered by these from the beginning, and Fang never dared to really deal with those relatives who didn't like it.

But now that the Lin family has not said such words, it is obvious that there is some reason, on the one hand, it can be asked that the Ding family can pretend to be a "last resort" to ask Jia Min to drive people out, and on the other hand, it can make Jia Min feel that it is in her interests to drive people away, so she nodded and agreed and controlled the public opinion at home by the way.

What is the specific reason...... Xue Yan said that he had no clue about this. He thought about it for a while, and decided to write it down in his mental memo first, and save it for later.

Leave this aside. Du Dao "glimpsed and knew the whole leopard", just by virtue of Ding's "borrowing a knife to kill" after "not touching a leaf", you can see that the other party is not as simple as an ordinary concubine.

- Of course, where is the only one where the other party is not simple?

Look at this Ding family, when he was drooping, he began to "join", and directly entered Mrs. Lin's yard; when he was twelve or thirteen years old, he was pointed out to Lin Ruhai's side to be a big maid; until Jia Min married into the Lin family and had nothing to do for a few years, Mrs. Lin opened her face and was officially promoted to become Lin Ruhai's aunt, until now.

Don't look at this summary in just a few sentences, it doesn't feel like anything special. In fact, based on Ding's life experience, which is no different from that of an orphan girl, this word is broken apart, and it is full of bitterness!

It can be said that Ding's ability to have today is not due to luck, heart and ability, all of which are indispensable.

——In view of this, after Xue Yan first knew that the Lin family had such a concubine, he once suspected that Old Madam Lin was so calculating, what did she plan to do?

Breaking down Jia Min won't be ...... I guess I just want to disgust and disgust each other, and by the way, let's stumble a little more.

And Xue Yan's idea was basically dispelled until he went to see Jia Min the day before yesterday and coincidentally met the Ding family who was about to leave after the morning and dusk.

- In other words, since he is only six years old this year, he has not yet reached the age where he needs to avoid suspicion, if it is a year or two later, how can he enter and leave the inner courtyard of the Lin family so freely as he does now, let alone see a concubine like someone else's family, Ding family.

Xue Yan couldn't help but sigh: Fortunately, he insisted on staying and didn't go back to his hometown in Jinling in a hurry!

- Continuing with the topic.

In fact, in the chance encounter that day, Xue Yan didn't say a word to Ding, and the two sides nodded to each other as a greeting. And in just a dozen seconds, it was only time for him to see Ding's appearance and demeanor clearly.

But it was these two points that made Xue Yan integrate all the information mentioned above afterwards, and finally believed that Old Madam Lin was not actually in a conspiracy theory!

Yes, she is indeed scheming - it's just that she doesn't want to make trouble, but for the prosperity and stability of the Lin family, she deliberately picks out such a person to be Lin Ruhai's concubine.

——As the saying goes, "the love of parents is far-reaching." From Xue Yan's point of view, Mrs. Lin's actions are like this.

Throughout the ages, the dispute between the concubines and the concubines, not to mention whether you live or die, is also a matter of one end to completely overwhelm the other before you can stop. To put it bluntly, it is to divide the cake, and the cake is so big, one party will share more, and the other party will naturally share less.

From a broad perspective, theoretically, the descendants are dominant. But the world is so big, and it is not impossible for the concubine to suppress the descendant in turn.

And the dispute between the concubines, at least to say, is only the east wind overwhelms the west wind; to say the big, the good family will be defeated because of internal friction.

Therefore, as the head of the family, we must not ignore and despise this issue of concubines.

Xue Yan couldn't help but complain: I want to have a group of wives and concubines, and I want my children and grandchildren to be prosperous, and I also want the family to work together in harmony and harmony without causing conflicts...... How can there be such a good thing in the world?

cough, it's far away, let's go back to Lin's house. When Mrs. Lin was alive, before finding a concubine for Lin Ruhai, the first thing to consider was naturally the various problems that would arise in the future.

And looking for a concubine to have a baby, there will be nothing more than three situations. First, the mother cannot give birth, second, the mother can give birth to her, but she gives birth to daughters, and third, the mother of the mistress can give birth to sons and sons.

Either way, there are all their own issues to consider, and there are so many possible variables.

It's not that it can't be predicted - that's right, in fact, we can start from the respective temperaments of Lin Ruhai and his wife, and make an estimate of the possible situation.

- Mrs. Lin is unreasonable, and she doesn't know what the character of her son and daughter-in-law is. Theoretically, if you want to control the variables and minimize the possible contradictions, you must also need these two people to cooperate or something. Only, this is clearly impractical. Therefore, taking a step back, you can only work the selection of concubines.

And Mrs. Lin's final choice is the Ding family.

There is no evidence for Gai's death, and Xue Yan guessed that the reasons why Ding was selected were the following:

First of all, there is the looks.

Although it is said that "marry a wife and marry virtue, take a concubine and accept sex", but Jia Min, as a wife, is good enough in color. It's not easy to find a concubine whose beauty can surpass Jia Min's, unless you're lucky, I'm afraid you have to find it from the slightly inferior layer.

Therefore, before Xue Yan met Ding, he also had various guesses about the other party's appearance.

I don't want to, Ding's not to mention beauty - she can barely be called a beautiful woman!

What can be used for a beautiful woman? Xue Yan gave a rather ugly example. In other people's homes, this kind of concubine is used for the old man to change his taste occasionally.

...... If you want to achieve the "pampering" achievement with this, it is not easy to achieve it without a coincidence.

What's more, Lin Ruhai's character doesn't pay attention to this aspect, and with his true love wife on his side, where can the small flowers and grasses next to him get into the eyes?

This also leads to the second point of the selection, you can't talk about feelings, or you can't talk about love.

According to Xue Yan's many years of experience in watching movies, most concubines want to be on the throne, either because they really have unrealistic fantasies about the master, or they are pretending. But whether it's really pretending, you have to love the word one by one, and show all kinds of deep affection for the master.

This kind of concubine in the name of love is the most amazing. If such a true love concubine is inserted between a true love couple, no matter whether the master responds or not, it will still increase a lot of right and wrong over time.

As for the Ding family, Xue Yan looked at his demeanor that day, and saw that the other party's face was peaceful and peaceful. According to the general situation, when a concubine goes to see her boss, natural enemy and master's mother, not to mention trembling, she has to be careful, right?

However, Ding's seems to be a very normal, ordinary way to say goodbye to his master - people who have been trapped by love for many years, or people who have begged but are not heartbroken, cannot be so calm and calm.

In other words, Ding does not love, and has never loved, Lin Ruhai.

- It's just that, not for love, there must be another reason why the Ding family is willing to be an aunt. I'll talk about that later.

In short, this kind of person who is clear and determined about his goals must not be expected to be a fool.

It can be seen that Ding is not only not stupid, but also quite smart.

According to the experience of the above-mentioned person over the years, we can know that he is very good at forbearance - in the face of relatives he doesn't like, he will never act rashly until he finds a way to completely avoid future troubles;

knows how to judge the situation and analyze the pros and cons - no, Ding just found that his aunt's family was not beneficial to him, so he planned to send it away;

didn't stick to relatives and not be ruthless because the object was an aunt - it shows that Ding is more rational and will not be easily emotional.

When no one could give birth to children in the inner courtyard of the Lin family, the Ding family stayed honestly, as if they did not exist;

When the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin eldest brother, was born, another aunt jumped up and down, and the Ding family watched coldly and never got involved;

...... In the end, the Lin family was the only one left with the Ding family's aunt. And she also got a daughter under Jia Min's hands.

- It can be said that Ding is a rare smart person.

It's just that let's be honest here, ordinary people are usually not very happy to let a smart person into their inner courtyard.

After all, from the perspective of the vast majority of housewives in these years, being smart is equal to being difficult to control. If you really want to let yourself choose a concubine for your husband or son, the first choice must be an honest person who feels better controlled.

Therefore, Xue Yan wondered if Old Madam Lin had ulterior motives at the beginning. Now that I think about it, it's that his ideas are too one-sided—it can't be helped, he's just an amateur, and he's not as good as those professional housewives after all—there's a saying in modern times. The so-called honesty is actually the same as loyalty, but there are not enough chips for betrayal.

Ahem, when it comes to discussing this, he can talk about it for three days and three nights, and in view of the time constraints, he won't say much.

In addition, he accidentally fell into a misunderstanding that many people are difficult to detect: why do you think that the other party is dishonest when it comes to smart people?

Obviously smart and honest, there is no conflict at all!

Besides, with the naked eye alone, who can tell whether an honest person is smart or not? Really speaking, those honest people who live well in the inner courtyard of such a deep house are all smarter.

- After all, only a person who has a scale in his heart can distinguish what to do, which is the best for himself.

Translated into other words, people with this kind of IQ online have absolutely no need to worry about jumping out stupidly because they listen to others casually coax two good words or promise a little benefit, and turn the family upside down!

- Of course, Xue Yan does not rule out the idea that "being smart is mistaken by being smart", but based on the above advantages, people like Ding are already unavoidable. If Mrs. Lin, who chose Ding's family, is still the best mother-in-law...... It's just to find a concubine for his son, in fact, where does he need such care?

I am also worried that the concubine will have the ability, opportunity and even the idea to cross the daughter-in-law!

To put it mildly, instead of worrying about Ding's heart making trouble, Mrs. Lin should first worry about whether her daughter-in-law Jia Min will make a mess because of this, haha!

Xue Yan hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered twice, and suddenly, he thought of something, and he couldn't laugh in an instant:

...... In other words, with Jia Min's temperament, it is really possible to make a mistake, oh?

No, it's not possible, this cliff will be muddy! Thinking of this, Xue Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. As for what happened to Jia Min in the first place...... It's been many years, and he doesn't know if there are any clues to follow......

Xue Yan stared and thought for a long time, and a white light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly came to his senses.

- That's it!, he thought to himself. No wonder he always feels that there is a sense of disobedience, I see!

Sure enough, it was inertial thinking that came to mislead him again - this is not one messy literary drama, the big men in it don't focus on what they are, as long as they fancy it, no matter what kind of prostitute they are, Qingqi, folk girls, maids, etc., they will all be taken home, and they will be given the identity of a flat wife, concubine, aunt and so on.

However, in fact, as long as a serious family wants to become a concubine, it has never been as easy as imagined.

Take Ding's as an example. If you follow the normal procedure, this "man in the house" who should have become Lin Ruhai first. When she is pregnant and gives birth, that is, she is "meritorious", and she will be raised to be an aunt.

Of course, whether she can be raised as an aunt depends on the main mother, which is also Jia Min's meaning. If Jia Min doesn't hum, Lin Ruhai doesn't hum either, and no one gives his head, then Ding may be a house man for the rest of his life.

Therefore, theoretically, if there is no special reason, Ding should not have become an aunt so early!

So, speaking of this special reason, how could Xue Yan take the first step to eliminate Old Madam Lin?

- First of all, Old Lady Yilin's origin, her rules are only better than those of the nouveau riche Lao Jia's family, so there is no reason for her to make such a low-level mistake;

Secondly, Mrs. Lin picked a concubine for her son...... No matter how much she values Ding's personality, she can't give this kind of grace so casually before seeing her grandson born.

I can't say it, in order to beware that the Ding family will become big-hearted after giving birth to the eldest son, they will take the initiative to press it!

- Of course, it doesn't mean that Old Madam Lin is completely free of the slightest responsibility. It can only be said that compared to Jia Min, the former is just an "accomplice".

can make Xue Yan conclude that the matter was made by Jia Min first, in addition to Ding's premature "promotion", there is another point:

In fact, there were two who became aunts during the same period. One is Ding, and the other is not someone else, it is one of Jia Min's four wedding maids.

Not to mention whether the two aunts were facing each other or not, just Jia Min actually took the initiative to open his face to his own wedding maid...... This can already explain a lot of things to Xue Yan.

Although the specific course of the matter is still untestable, with his years of reading experience, Xue Yan can also make up the truth to his brain.

At the beginning, as he said above, Mrs. Lin just planned to let the Ding family be a person in the house first, the main purpose was to consider the heirs of the Lin family, and at the same time, she didn't want to slap Jia Min's face too much - if you pay a little attention, you can find that the inner courtyard of the Lin family for several generations is only through the room and there is no aunt - of course, Mrs. Lin, who is a mother, took the initiative to give her son a house person, and she did not have the intention of being dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law and Gu Yao as a small warning.

If Jia Min could accept it peacefully and not do superfluous things on the side, why would the Lin family have been in trouble one after another?

After all, it's just a room of people, how do you want to clean it up in the future...... It's not a matter of your own?

However, if this is the case, Jia Min is not Jia Min anymore - so as a matter of course, she goes berserk and "transforms" into a tigress who has been offended by her territory, bent on doing something to fight her mother-in-law.

I don't know if he was carried away by anger, or if there was a fool next to him who was instigating, Jia Min resorted to a trick that did all kinds of harm to himself and did no benefit, which can be called mentally retarded: he carried the dowry maid next to him to her husband as an aunt.

- Mrs. Lin, who only showed a little bit of wind over there, saw this, no matter how good her cultivation was, she had to be annoyed, didn't she?

Xue Yan briefly simulated the mental journey of Old Madam Lin at that time, which was roughly as follows:

She considered everything and accommodated in every way, although she didn't ask her daughter-in-law to understand her hard work 100%, but how could the other party repay her like this?

Very good, since you are unkind, then don't blame her for being unjust!

- So Mrs. Lin also followed Ding as her aunt.

That's why I said, no matter how high EQ it is, in the face of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you still have to "Waterloo". Xue Yan shook his head and sighed.

Moreover, even if they all raise their aunts, no matter what, the Ding family was carefully selected by Mrs. Lin. Look at what Jia Min picked out, what kind of thing it is - whether it was calculated or not, this hair didn't give birth to half of it, and he actually dared to attack the eldest son......

Who gave the courage?

Liang, oh no, Mrs. Wang?—— hey, think about it, it's really possible, write it down first!

If it weren't for the difficulty of riding a tiger, I was afraid that the Ding family would regret it and die.

But putting aside Jia Min's stroke of genius, in general, being Lin Ruhai's concubine is actually not a painful thing.

First, Jia Min advocates that "out of sight is pure", and there is no hobby that when he is in a bad mood, he tosses his concubine to solve it;

Second, Jia Min has a good background and a rich dowry, and he deliberately deducts the daily expenses of his concubine in order to save a little money;

Three, once again, reiterating that Jia Min is a pure and good person, not good at conspiracies - here we must thank Jia Mu for her painstaking protection - to make a living under this kind of master mother, if nothing else, there is a great guarantee of safety.

In addition, the Ding family was given by the deceased old lady, if he didn't die, Jia Min would easily not be able to move.

Therefore, over the years, Ding's has lived a very comfortable life even if he has no pets and no children, and even if he is pregnant with Jia Min, he can still give birth to a child smoothly.

- So, cough, Mrs. Lin is not coaxing people into the fire pit.

Moreover, from another point of view, didn't Mrs. Lin save Ding's life?

You must know that Ding's age is older than Lin Ruhai. Xue Yan estimated that before he was opened, this person should be in his twenties.

The eldest girl of the average family just wants to stay for a few more years, and it is time to talk about marriage. However, as the orphan daughter of the Ding family, the family affairs must be held in the hands of her aunt. It was at that time that the contradictions between the two sides intensified more and more.

Because the other party is an elder, even if the Ding family asks Mrs. Lin to be the master, he will still not be able to live in peace in the future; only when he becomes the "master" and his identity is different, can he suppress the aunt.

- This is probably the main reason why the Ding family is willing to be a concubine.

And Mrs. Lin definitely knows this. Otherwise, how many maids in the entire Lin family are in the flowering season, why look at a Ding family in his twenties who is already an older young woman in this year?

I'm afraid this is just a handle that Old Madam Lin used to control the Ding family.

Tsk! Xue Yan exclaimed in his heart. With this hand alone, the current Jia Min is not as good as Mrs. Lin! And if he only mentions wisdom and does not count anything else, Jia Min is really not the opponent of the Nading clan......

Originally, Old Madam Lin passed away, and Xue Yan estimated that Jia Min couldn't think of another matter to contain the Ding family. Ding's has no shackles and no grain to owe and no worries, and after a long time, he is afraid of hidden dangers.

Thanks to Jia Min's good luck, he got two sons in one go, not to mention, and Ding only gave birth to a daughter - the characteristics of a smart person were reflected at this time. For the sake of his daughter's future, Ding said that he would not dare to act rashly.

If this were not the case, what would be the future situation of the Lin family...... It's hard to predict.

- Speaking of Ding's daughter......

Given that this was a concubine who didn't exist in the original book, Xue Yan paid attention to it.

It's just that, also because of his young age, the people on Jia Yu's side didn't provide much information, and even because she was a concubine, except for this eldest sister Lin who was three days younger than the second brother Lin, she didn't even mention her name. Jia Min's introduction that day was "This is your big sister", and everyone else called it "sister" or "big sister".

So Xue Yan once thought that Lin Ruhai didn't name his concubine at all, until yesterday he happened to hear Brother Lin call "wanwan (three sounds)".

Although I don't know which word it is, it's not late, but it's late, and it's late......

In other words, Xue Yan has long wanted to complain: The three babies of the Lin family, Xuan and Mo, are all forgotten, and now there is a "late" ...... It can be seen that the author of this Red Mansion fandom chooses the name really casually-

As long as the dare is related to "black", is it okay???
