Chapter 31
After receiving the news that Yang Wan had been straightened and incorporated into the family tree, Lin Jin immediately went out of the study and went straight to the backyard to report the good news to her mother, and met Zihao at the second gate.
Zihao saw Lin Jin, as if she had seen a savior, and hurriedly greeted her, and said with a happy face: "Uncle, you are here, Mrs. Gu asked you to hurry up and see the second wife." ”
Seeing his rushing appearance, Lin Jin asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
Zihao looked around, lowered his voice and replied, "It's not a big deal." It's just that the second wife just saw the New Year's gift from the Yangzhou General's Mansion and lost her temper. ”
Hearing this, Lin Jin immediately understood what was going on.
Since Jia Min's death, Yang Wan, who is the second room and has two sons, is the dominant family in the back house, whether it is the Lin family or the outside, she is regarded as the wife of the Lin family.
But she was not corrected in the end, her name was not right, and when she was socializing with foreign affairs, she was good friends with the Lin family, and she flattered the Lin family, so naturally she would not mention the words of the second room and concubine in front of her, and directly treated her as a wife; But Lin Ruhai is in the officialdom, after all, there are still enemies who don't like him and who are contrary to his political position, and those women in the back house who are naturally disgusted with concubines, so these people's attitude towards Yang Wan is naturally not friendly, and her second-room identity happens to be the biggest and most direct point of attack.
And this is what can make Yang Wan hurt the most. In this regard, Lin Jin has no choice, because no matter whether Lin Ruhai marries a stepfamily or straightens the second room, he needs the consent of his original mother's family, that is, the Jia family.
Lin Ruhai is actually indispensable about whether to correct Yang Wan, but out of consideration for the identity of her two sons, he still tends to correct her. Although the child born by the second room is not as good as the original match in terms of status, but in any case, he is also a son-in-law, so after he was full of his wife and filial piety, he once asked the Jia family to straighten Yang Wan, but the Jia family did not agree.
Yang Wan is in the back house, because of her identity, she is troubled by the slaves at home, Lin Jin can still come forward, but she is embarrassed by her identity outside, so she can't help it. This problem, even if Lin Jin becomes a first-class cabinet minister in the future, there is no way to solve it. Unless she becomes the emperor, after all, the emperor's mother will be named the queen mother regardless of whether she is a concubine or not.
But even if she became the emperor and had Jia Min's mother-in-law, Yang Wan still couldn't be happy. For example, although the biological mother of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was named the Empress Dowager of Cisheng and her son, her status still could not be compared with the Empress Dowager Rensheng, who was originally promoted by the empress.
When the Empress Dowager Rensheng passed away, she, the emperor's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Cisheng, seemed to be alone from then on. But every festival, worship or something, she not only wants to worship the spiritual seat of the Holy Empress Dowager, but also in this era of respect for the left, whether she is standing or sitting, she can only choose the right.
The gap between the wife and the concubine in this era is so big, Yang Wan has no idea of changing it by herself, this is really too difficult, not only can she not do it at the moment, but even in the future, it is not possible.
Because of her embarrassing identity, Yang Wan handed over a lot of things about diplomatic entertainment to Lin Jin. After all, even if Lin Jin is a concubine, but in the case that the Lin family has no concubine, as the eldest son of the concubine, she obviously wants to inherit the Lin family, so she is different from the concubines of other families, and she still has a lot of face outside.
It's just that some things still have to be done by Yang Wan. Although, Yang Wan will not be angry once she socializes, but the number of times is not small. She is always angry because of her identity, and when she sees Daiyu, she can't help but think of her grandmother's house, although she will not be angry with her, but she can't put on a good face when facing Daiyu after all. And Jia Min stayed to protect Daiyu, afraid that she would be wronged, seeing Yang Wan showing Daiyu's face, she naturally didn't do it, even if she didn't mess with Yang Wan, she would definitely complain to Lin Ruhai.
Lin Jin was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, which was part of the reason why she agreed to let Daiyu go to Jia's house, because she really didn't want to bear this kind of splint gas. And Lin Ruhai finally agreed to the Jia family's request to take Daiyu over the house several times, in addition to the various reasons he said to Lin Jin before, he didn't see the embarrassment between Yang Wan, Lin Jin and Daiyu.
Entering the door of the east courtyard and bypassing the shadow wall, Lin Jin saw Aunt Lin standing outside the house, hearing the sound of crackling and smashing things in the house and Yang Wan's crying.
"Grandmother, what did this Yangzhou general's wife send to make my mother so angry?" Because he knew that Yang Wan had not only been corrected, but also had already entered the family tree, this matter was a certainty, so Lin Jin changed her words very quickly this time in the names of Aunt Lin and Yang Wan.
Aunt Lin's mind was on Yang Wan, and she didn't pay attention to the change of title, and replied: "I sent a couplet, the upper one is 'Mrs. Ru', and the lower one is 'Tong Jinshi'." ”
"This person is also quite narrow-minded, but the mother doesn't have to be so atmospheric, this couplet is actually using the status of the concubine to satirize the same Jinshi, and there is not much to make fun of the concubine. The wife of the martial artist in the end, the level of writing and ink is limited......"
Yang Wan in the room heard her words, lifted the curtain, poked her head out, and cried: "I'm angry, I'm aggrieved, is it just for myself?" I'm a backhouse woman, even if I'm laughed at a few words? It's really not good, it's a big deal not to go out, anyway, when my wife was there, I didn't come over all those years, I am avenging you and Brother Lin.
Although the Lin family and the Yang family are just such a single seedling as you, on the surface, it doesn't matter whether it is a concubine or a concubine, but in fact, Brother Sumire, when you walk around outside, you should know whether it is a concubine or a concubine, this difference is big. What I'm thinking about is not whether I can correct it, but I want to record you in the name of my wife, and be a named concubine, which is better than the name of a concubine, but even so, the master does not agree. ”
"Mother, why do you bother?" Lin Jin said disapprovingly: "My wife didn't leave a sister-in-law, and Brother Lin was passed on to the Yang family, and the entire Lin family is mine." It's really not necessary for you to give me a name for a named son-in-law.
Forgive me for being disrespectful, if you can't straighten it out, then whether it's a son-in-law or a concubine, Rongguofu is the heir of the Lin family, which is a fact that can't be changed. As a concubine, taking care of his biological mother and his biological mother's maiden family, the world agrees with this, which is also the world's condition.
But once I am recorded in my wife's name and become a registered concubine, even if everyone knows that I was not born to my wife, but after inheriting such a great benefit, it will inevitably make people criticize me for taking care of the Yang family, and at that time, the Jia family will be my legitimate foreign family, and it will be reasonable to meddle in my affairs. Where is this for my good, it is clearly for me. ”
Yang Wan was angry and asked loudly, "What do you mean by this?" Think there's no point in me doing that, do you? Think I'm messing around, huh? Who am I doing this for, I ......"
Lin Jin hurriedly reassured: "Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing." I know your thoughts, Mother, and I know your heart. You're planning for the good of me and Brother Lin, and you're planning for the two of us......"
Unlike Aunt Lin, who didn't notice the change in Lin Jin's title, Yang Wan noticed it at once, "You, what did you call me just now?" Mother? At this time, you think that I, the person who gave birth to you, is willing to call me a mother, didn't you refuse to call me when you were asked to call before? ”
After Jia Min passed away, Yang Wan hoped that Lin Jin would change her name to her mother, but Lin Jin didn't call her, which made Yang Wan very angry. In fact, Lin Jin was also very helpless, not that she didn't want to call, but Lin Ruhai had told her beforehand, besides, she had to walk around outside, and even if she had to go on a career path, she couldn't make mistakes in this, and she didn't want to stimulate Daiyu.
was so troubled by Yang Wan that Lin Jin almost forgot the main purpose of her coming, but now she finally remembered it, and hurriedly said: "I couldn't call my mother like that before, it was not allowed in etiquette, but I have always respected you as a mother in my heart." Now, I can call you openly, because mother, you have been corrected and entered into the Lin family tree. ”
"What? What did you say? Years of expectation came true, Yang Wan couldn't believe it, and even felt that she was dreaming.
When Aunt Lin heard the news, she was also surprised and delighted, and hurriedly confirmed to her: "Brother Sumire, what you said is true?" ”
"It's true. It was just now that the housekeeper and I talked about the New Year gift of the clan, and as soon as I found out, I hurried and came to tell you the good news. ”
Yang Wan cried and laughed, and said several good things in a row, while calling the big girl over, asking her to quickly bring the calendar, and instructed: "Xiaoman, tell me to go down, and the house will give you three more months' monthly money, so that everyone will be happy." After Bishui brought the calendar, she shouted to hurry up and pick a good day in the near future, wanting to tidy up the banquet, post a treat, and get ready to celebrate.
Aunt Lin, who was also excited, saw Yang Wan's behavior, and hurriedly stopped Xiao Man and said to her, "I know you're happy, but these things will be put aside for the time being." It's not that I won't let you celebrate, but it's not appropriate for you to come forward in this matter, and you have to take the lead in Hai Ge'er. After he announces the news of your rectification to the inside and outside of the house, you can do whatever you want, and you will do this at this time, and you will be a little anxious. ”
Seeing that her grandmother persuaded her mother who couldn't help herself, Lin Jin originally wanted to ask her in addition to reporting the good news to her mother, how could she be recorded in the Lin family tree even though Brother Lin had passed on to the Yang family. Seeing Aunt Lin's words and deeds that still maintained her sanity under extreme joy, she suddenly didn't want to ask. Anyway, no matter whether Brother Lin is from the Yang family or the Lin family, for her, it is no different, they are all her younger brothers, and this will never change.
