"My sister is not feeling well, Dongfu bought wine today and invited his wife to come over to enjoy the plums, why didn't you go?" Before anyone could say anything, Baoyu's voice arrived first, and as he spoke, he walked in from outside, dressed in a visitor's coat.

Daiyu knew that Baoyu was talking about the plum blossoms blooming in the garden of Ningfuzhong in the east, and Jia Zhen's wife You Shi specially set up wine to invite Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, etc. to enjoy the flowers, and when she heard this, she replied: "The winter in Beijing is colder than in the south of the Yangtze River, and I am a little uncomfortable, afraid of making old diseases, so I went back to the old lady and did not go." ”

In fact, the reason why Daiyu did not go to Ning Guofu is very complicated.

Although Jia Min has passed away, the Jia family and the Lin family are still in-laws, and the Rongguo Mansion not only did not cut off because of Jia Min's death, but even contacted Lin Ruhai more diligently. But when Jia Rong of Ningguofu married Qin Keqing, Ningguofu didn't even give the Lin family news, and Lin Jin knew it from the descendants who came to Rongguofu to give gifts to his family.

Qin Keqing, as the future clan wife of the clan, in terms of status, in the family, is not even lower than Mother Jia. Such a major marriage event was not told to the Lin family, and the Dongfu did a little inauthentic in this matter; And in addition, all the major and small things that happened in Dongfu after Jia Min's death were not informed to the Lin family, as if they had broken off their relationship with the Lin family since Jia Min's death.

Relatives move around, you come and go, and the relationship is little by little closer or distant. Since Ning Guofu alienated the Lin family first, then in the case that the Lin family did nothing wrong, and Ning Guofu was not a major relative, there was no need to stick it up and get closer to it; In addition, after Daiyu entered Beijing and entered the Rongguo Mansion, the Dongfu knew that she was coming, but she didn't take a look at it, until the old lady and his wife were invited to the mansion to have a banquet in the Dongfu, and they met with Daiyu in two minutes, and then their attitude towards her was mediocre; Therefore, Daiyu, the daughter of the Jia family's daughter, has a very distant relationship with Dongfu. Since entering Beijing, she has not been to Ningguofu.

Jia Mu didn't have any objections to Daiyu's behavior of obviously not being close to Dongfu, and even Daiyu felt that she was acquiescing. Jia's mother's behavior is obviously inconsistent with her not wanting Daiyu to stay away from the Jia family, and her behavior of deliberately taking her to the Jia family in order to prevent Daiyu from staying away from the Jia family, so Daiyu feels that when she is at home, Lin Jin said that there is a problem with the life experience of Grandma Xiaorong in Dongfu is probably true.

Lin Jin knew that Ningguo Mansion was filthy, no better than Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Mu was in town, although it was chaotic, but there were no big folds after all. Therefore, at home, in front of Daiyu, in order to let Daiyu stay away from Ning Guofu, he said a lot of bad things about Ning Guofu, and made a big fuss about Qin Keqing's life experience.

Although there are many speculations about Qin Keqing's life experience in later generations, there is no strong evidence, as for some people to adduce evidence, saying that Qin Keqing's funeral was too extravagant, and the four kings and eight princes actually set up road sacrifices, and the furnishings and utensils in Qin Keqing's bedroom are extraordinary, so as to speculate, Qin Keqing is the illegitimate daughter of Prince Yizhong, the abolished prince.

Before this conclusion came, Lin Jin was skeptical, but in this era, after learning about some social customs, she felt that this statement was a bit absurd.

In ancient society, the local government was governed by a combination of clans and official governments, and at a very high time, clans were even above the law, and this phenomenon was not only acquiesced by the world, but even the imperial power was recognized. Therefore, the status of the clan women is very high, and many times, women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, but the clan women are not included.

Moreover, the clan woman must be a yuan match, so even if Qin Keqing is a junior and has no fate, but among the Jia family, she has the highest status.

To put it mildly, her death was no less serious than the death of Jia's mother, and when Qin Keqing died, although the Jia family had gone downhill since the death of the old man of Jia Daishan's generation, it had not yet shown its decline, and even because of Wang Ziteng's promotion and Yuanchun's concubine, the family had a rising trend.

In addition, Jia Zhen was heartbroken because of Qin Keqing's death, spared no money, was casual and extravagant, so it is understandable that Qin Keqing's funeral was grand. As for the four kings and eight dukes, although they all came to the road to worship, but their arrival, Lin Jin felt that it was not only to attend Qin Keqing's funeral, but also to show a signal to the imperial court.

After all, many times, many things are closely related to the dynamics of the court, but Cao Gong has almost no writing about the people and things in the court, so it is impossible to guess. But not long after Qin Keqing's death, Yuan Chun, who had been in the palace for many years and had not moved, was suddenly made a concubine, and it was a small woman who went directly to the concubine position, which can be described as a step to the sky, which naturally makes people think about it.

As for the reason why Yuan Chun was named a concubine as speculated by later generations, it was because she told the royal family that Qin Keqing was the blood of the abolished prince, so she was promoted. And Qin Keqing died precisely because of her whistleblowing.

This possibility is not high, because Qin Keqing is a girl, even if it is the bloodline of the abolished prince, in the eyes of the world, it will not be successful, so even if the royal family knows about her existence, there is a high probability that she will not be allowed to die, but will be "honored" like a banner.

For example, Shunzhi pursued all the canons and destroyed the tomb and exhumed the corpse of Dolgon, but he did not embarrass his son, the only daughter Dongguo, not only retained the title of the county lord, but also raised her according to the treatment of Princess Heshuo.

The reason for this is that Tungor is only a girl and cannot inherit Dorgon's political legacy, and if she had been a boy, she would have been reunited with Dolgon, who had already gone underground.

Besides, the Emperor Taishang is still there. Although he abolished the crown prince back then, after the death of the abolished prince, he regretted it again and posthumously named him "Prince Yizhong". In this case, if he knew that his son was still alive, even if it was a boy, maybe he would try his best to keep it, let alone just a girl who did not pose a threat to the imperial power at all.

As for the emperor, the daughter of a deposed prince, for him, living is just a matter of consuming some money and food, but to be able to please the emperor, why not do it for him? He couldn't afford to risk making the Emperor Taishang angry and taking Qin Keqing's life. Because a person is alive, it is more valuable to him.

As for saying that after Yuan Chun revealed the identity of Qin Keqing's royal family to the royal family, the Jia family was afraid that she and Jia Zhen would be exposed, so they took her life. This possibility is still not very high, for the royal people, it doesn't matter how they kill each other, but if outsiders hurt their royal people, it is tantamount to rebellion, which is a heinous crime. How could the royal family allow the Jia family to remain and also crown Yuanchun as a concubine?

Don't say any strategy, for the royal family, if the Jia family is a powerful minister like Huo Guang, Liang Ji, and Zhang Juzheng who can threaten the imperial power, maybe there is still this possibility, but the Jia family is not at all. Don't say that Wang Ziteng is in a high position at the moment, you must know that no matter how close Wang Ziteng is to the Jia family, his surname is Wang, he is a member of the Wang family, not Jia. What's more, Wang Ziteng's weight has not reached the point where the royal family tolerates it.

In Lin Jin's view, the royal utensils such as Wu Zetian, Zhao Feiyan, and Yang Taizhen in Qin Keqing's bedroom are not to show her royal identity, but because these women, in this era, are all blamed for not abiding by women's morals, especially Wu Zetian and Yang Taizhen, both have a very close relationship with their father and son, and Cao Gong is using this as a metaphor for the relationship between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.

Of course, this does not mean that Qin Keqing's life experience is no problem. With the Jia family's eyes above the top, the royal family is the boss, and the family is the virtue of the second, even if Qin Keqing is born well, but her adoptive father Yingqilang Qin Yeguan has a low position, even if she was brought back from the health hall This matter is not known to the Jia family, but it does not mean that the Jia family is willing to marry Jia Rong. You must know that when she married into the Jia family, she is not only Jia Rong's wife, but also the future wife of the Jia family.

However, thinking of Jia Zhen's reckless behavior after her death, Lin Jin felt that maybe Jia Zhen was "true love" for Qin Keqing, because it was not good to abandon his wife You Shi, and he couldn't bear her as a concubine, so he made a detour and insisted on giving her Jia Rong as his wife. After all, it would be much easier to get her into the pot of the Jia family, and then pull her into his bowl. Jia Zhen is Jia Rong's father and patriarch, if he insists, even if the rest of the Jia family opposes it, it will be invalid.

However, when talking to Daiyu, Lin Jin didn't dare to tell Daiyu about the dirty thing of "picking up ashes" bluntly, but just analyzed with her that Qin Keqing did not match the Jia family in the door, but the Jia family did not have any opinion on her being a clan wife, which was strange, so let Daiyu stay away from Dongfu.

Originally, Daiyu was skeptical of Lin Jin's words, but after entering Beijing and seeing the style of Rongning and Ningfu, she felt that Lin Jin's analysis was very reasonable. Qin Keqing's background is strange, and if it is not exposed in the future, it will be fine; Once it is exposed, those who are close to Ning Guofu don't know what to do. In order not to implicate herself and the Lin family behind her, it is better for her to keep a certain distance. Therefore, even if Dongfu was enthusiastic about her, she kept away from her; And Dongfu's alienation from her is right in the middle.

Daiyu, who was cleaning the fish tank, saw Baoyu holding her hands and breathing uncontrollably, wondering and wondering: "Is it so cold outside today?" How long have you been out there and frozen like this? Didn't the attacker bring you a hand stove? As he spoke, he handed Baoyu his hand stove.

Baoyu took it and said with a smile: "I didn't feel how cold it was, and I didn't stay long, I just froze my hands." ”

Daiyu glanced at the clothes on Baoyu's body, and thought of the big clothes that she had prepared for Baoyu earlier, and said a little strangely: "I remember that when you went out today, you didn't wear this dress, but you went to Dongfu for dinner, why did you change your clothes?" ”

Hearing her words, Baoyu thought of the beautiful dream she had when she took a nap in Qin Keqing's room, and her face suddenly changed, and she said hesitantly: "Well, then, the clothes are dirty, so I will change them again." ”

Daiyu thought that he had soiled his clothes while eating, so he changed his clothes and didn't care, so the topic stopped.
