Chapter 16 Continuation of South China
The second room of the Lin family also smiled before speaking, and praised Lin Daiyu when he opened his mouth: "I see that the eldest niece looks lovely and kind, not worse than the two nieces in the sister-in-law's family, and what is even more rare is that she is very filial." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is really the people in our family, not only the old lady likes it, but we also like it very much. ”
Don't forget to praise the two daughters of the long house, the daughter-in-law Zheng and the daughter-in-law of all sizes in the room laughed, you praised the two daughters of the Changfang family with a word, and said Zheng with a smile. But fortunately, she still remembered the purpose of inviting these people to the banquet, not to listen to compliments, so she hurriedly praised Lin Daiyu and reminded everyone not to forget to say good things a few days earlier.
Daiyu has been by her father's side since she was a child, and she grew up listening to all kinds of compliments every day, so who cares about what these people say; Later, he came to live in Jiafu and saw Mrs. Wang's silent snub and superb slander methods, as well as Aunt Xue's fake love. In comparison, the words of the second daughter-in-law of the Lin family who think that they are appropriate everywhere are as naïve as a child who has just learned to move her heart. When a discerning person hears this, he knows who she is instructed by. As for those daughters-in-law who can't even recognize their appearance, they will only talk behind a few daughters-in-law who take the lead, and they don't need to care.
Lin Daiyu was thinking about how to deal with the "enthusiasm" of this second-room aunt, when she heard a few words of self-muttering complaints from the side: "In addition to the old lady who likes herself, who else has she liked?" It's not good to open your eyes and talk nonsense. Daiyu tilted her head slightly, seeing that it was the third aunt who complained quietly with a smile on her face, looking at her expression, as if she was echoing the words of the daughter-in-law of the long room and the second room with full approval.
Not only did Daiyu feel it, but looking at the gazes cast by the two of them, she seemed to feel the same way. The voice of the third aunt was extremely low, just covered by the noisy voices of everyone, and only Daiyu could hear it.
She thought back to the appearance of the old lady Zhu, not only was she cold to herself, but she was also very cold to the daughter-in-law of the long house, Zheng, and the two daughters born to Zheng, and she didn't even look at it, just in response to the complaint of the third aunt. Daiyu couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, the fifth aunt turned her head and said to Daiyu: "The Zheng family found me to make peace with the third sister-in-law, and wanted to pass on their concubine to your father's name to inherit the incense, but the third sister-in-law and I did not agree, but it was not easy to object. ”
Daiyu nodded and did not speak. She knew the scruples of the third aunt and the fifth aunt, and thought that they also found the third uncle Lin He and the fifth uncle Lin Yuan, and asked them to make peace from them, and Lin He and Lin Yuan also had no reason to object.
The reason is that each family regards the inheritance of incense as extremely important, so big that even the emperor cannot interfere with the inheritance of other people's heirs. Therefore, those who are raided often do not have their family ancestral halls raided. The sacrificial fields used for incense will not be taken into public ownership.
If Lin He and Lin Yuan objected to it, the people in the long house asked someone to hand over a piece of paper, or spread some rumors, it would be enough for the two of them to have a headache.
Changfang Lin Jiang has two sons, one is from his wife Zheng, who is twenty-four or five years old this year, has already married his own son, and was admitted to the Guozijian two years ago, and is preparing to win the blue eyes of the saint in the autumn of next year.
The other son was born to a concubine, who was just six years old this year, and he looked like a dough, and he was deeply loved by Lin Jiang. Even the five-year-old grandson born to his sister-in-law could not be compared.
He made up his mind to succeed Lin Ruhai, and it was this concubine. How can he be willing to give away his most beloved son? It must be known that his eldest son has already married and had children, and it is impossible to pass on all his sons and grandchildren. Therefore, Lin Jiang doted on his concubine to the extreme, and he couldn't deprive his son-in-law of his family property and leave everything to his younger son.
At present, Lin Ruhai is newly widowed and childless, and he just dozed off and brought him a pillow. Lin Jiang guessed that the family property left by Lin Ruhai was so rich, he was afraid that the ten long houses would not add up to that much money.
Passing on his youngest son to Lin Ruhai as a stepson can get rid of the inferior concubine status and become another legitimate head of the Lin family. At present, when his eldest son is admitted to the Jinshi, he can also use Lin Ruhai's connections in the officialdom to stay in Beijing as an official. Lin Jiang felt that this was a good opportunity sent by God to favor his family.
Daiyu is young, and there are no relatives around her to rely on, so she coaxes and pinches her, and she is not afraid that this teenage girl will not give in. The people on the Lin family side of Suzhou have to give him the face of the patriarch of the Changfang. Therefore, he felt that everything was almost a foregone conclusion.
After the adoptive, as long as Daiyu is just ten years old and her stepson is just five years old, they still need to be supervised and taken care of by adults. Then Lin Jiang can justifiably meddle in the property left by Lin Ruhai. When Daiyu was thirteen or fourteen years old, she was given a family to marry, and she was easily sent out.
And right now, Lin He and Lin Yuan are taking money from Lin Daiyu to build the academy, and in Lin Jiang's opinion, they are burning his youngest son's money. Burning his youngest son's money is burning his money, and he can't help but be in a hurry.
Lin Daiyu was listening attentively to the words of the fifth aunt, thinking about how to deal with it, so naturally she didn't take into account the reaction of the daughter-in-law in the second room. After all, this Lin family's "Feng Lazi" is not as thick-skinned as Jiafu's "Feng Lazi", and his ability to gag is not as good as his gag, and he looked back at Daiyu after holding the long room, but found that Daiyu's eyes were looking at a certain place thoughtfully, and he didn't notice her at all. The daughter-in-law of the second room was so embarrassed that her face was feverish, and she tried to pretend to be generous and considerate. She wanted to take Daiyu's hand and let her sit beside her, and then carefully state the benefits and disadvantages, and say good words of relief, and even before she came out, she even prepared a handkerchief with onions and pepper, just waiting for Daiyu to cry on her knees, wipe her eyes with a handkerchief, and also spicy two tears, so that Changfang can happily accept this favor. In the future, the long house will be developed, and they will not be able to bring one or two.
But the daughter-in-law of the second room didn't dare to go over. Lin He and Lin Yuan's wife, Daiyu's third aunt and fifth aunt are not easy to mess with, those two mouths speak meekly and smoothly, but they make people feel stinging everywhere.
If she passed, but couldn't bring Daiyu over to sit, it would be a big shame in front of everyone. She hesitated for a while, and only dared to beckon to Daiyu: "Big niece, come and sit here, let your aunt take a closer look at you." "It looks like a big bad wolf who coaxes Little Red Riding Hood.
Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and replied generously: "Aunt in the second room, it's good for me to sit next to the third aunt and the fifth aunt, so I won't go over to trouble you." She made up her mind and dragged the third aunt and the fifth aunt into the water, that is, to drag Lin He and Lin Yuan, the only two people who had official positions in the court and could compete with the name of the patriarch of the Changfang, into the water.
Since the academy was built, they and Daiyu are grasshoppers on the same rope, how can they watch from the wall without their feet getting mud on the wall?
