The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

The Lin brothers and sisters returned home, looked at each other's red and swollen eyes and couldn't help laughing. It was inevitable that they would ask the servants to put ice on their eyes and not mention it.

But on the Jia's side, because of Lin Jue's words, Jia Zheng intervened in the matter of the inner house once in a while, but he didn't want to hear that Mrs. Wang was involved in this matter, and Aunt Zhao was fanning the flames. I slept in Aunt Zhao's room for more than a month before I calmed down.

Because she lived with Aunt Zhao, it was inevitable to ask Jia Huan about her homework at night.Because Jia Huan has listened to Tanchun's words recently, he has been serious for a few days and has made some progress. While Jia Zheng is satisfied, he also thinks of Baoyu, whom he has placed high hopes on, so he calls Baoyu to test his homework.In this way, Baoyu was beaten up again, and Jia's family jumped around for a while before giving up.

Although Aunt Zhao suffered a lot because of this incident, thinking of Jia Baoyu's pitiful appearance after being beaten, her whole body felt comfortable and she was secretly proud of herself.

Because Baoyu had been beaten again, the Jia family was very busy for a while, and when they were about to deal with the matter of Mrs. Li, they just sent it out, which seemed to mean lifting it high and putting it down gently.Lin Jue didn't say much after hearing about this matter, but seriously pursued it. Could it be that Mrs. Jia could really deal with the person behind it?That Jia Baoyu was beaten innocently was enough for him to relieve his anger.

Winter is approaching in a blink of an eye, Daiyu has always been a little chilly, Jia's house sent two invitations to invite her to come over, but she refused, she was really too lazy to go out, and even more impatient to go to Jia's house to find her uncomfortable.

Afraid that Daiyu would be bored at home every day, Lin Jue proposed to live in a village in the suburbs for a few days.Because the Lin family was not in Beijing at all, except for this house, the rest of the shops and Zhuangzi were bought later, so there is only Xianqingzhuang in the suburbs where they lived during the Double Ninth Festival last time.This Zhuangzi was built by Lin Juefu as soon as he arrived in Beijing, and the Zhuangzi was newly built, but the people were all old people from Yangzhou, and they were all family members who voluntarily followed the Lin family to Beijing.

The manager of the Zhuangzi is also an old man who has been in charge for many years. His son is one of the four servants who work beside Lin Jue. of.Since the son came to Beijing with the master's family, the old couple also followed.

Lin Jue had a total of four servants, and Qingsong and Qingtong were always by his side. Speaking of which, Qingsong was the number one servant by his side.Qingying Qinghua is older, and often stays in the mansion to help the housekeeper Lin Cheng.The five of them grew up together, but when it comes to trust, the one Lin Jue trusts the most is Qinghua, who is simple-faced and warm-hearted.

Because Jia Min sent him and his mother to the Zhuangzi when they were young, Qingying's family often took care of them.At that time, Qingying's father hadn't become a steward, and the family was just a servant of the Lin family. Qingying even didn't have enough to eat, so she would secretly feed Lin Jue with food, so the friendship between the two extraordinary.

Even later, when Lin Jue's biological mother died and was brought back to the Lin Mansion by Lin Ruhai, Lin Jue only asked to bring Qinghua with him.Therefore, it can be said that Qinghua was the first to follow Lin Jue.

The last time Lin Jue did not bring Qinghua with him when he went to Xianqing Manor due to the gift of the Double Ninth Festival in the mansion. family reunion.Naturally, Qinghua is more grateful to his little master, and works harder and harder in his work.

The Lin brothers and sisters went to the village in the suburbs, and they didn't disturb anyone. After staying there for two days, Master Luo sent a lot of vegetables and game over.

When Master Luo came to the door, Lin Jue asked and found out that the owner of a hot spring village near his home had changed, and now the owner is Master Luo.That Zhuangzi was originally in Lin Jue's fancy, but the owner refused to sell it. I don't know what kind of connections Master Luo found, so he just bought it.

"Master, it's true, that Zhuangzi was the first to be taken by the disciples. At that time, when I bought this place, I just wanted to get the moon first, but I didn't want to be snatched by the master." Lin Jue fiddled with Master Luo twice. The game meat I brought over said to Qingsong: "I remember that Zhang's mother dried a lot of mushrooms in autumn, and she watched them stewed with mushrooms, made pheasant stewed mushrooms, and then made a pheasant soup. The eldest girl likes that. Others They asked the chef to watch and clean it up by himself."

Qingsong hurriedly responded, turned around and ran to Brother Qingying to talk about it. The uncle himself doesn't like chicken, only Brother Qingying likes the stewed pheasant mushroom dish at home, it can be seen that it is specially given to Qingying Brother did it, and their brothers are lucky to follow.

Brother Xie also came over later, and he was not empty-handed, "A few days ago, I overheard Master mentioning that sister Daiyu was practicing Mrs. Wei's calligraphy recently. Said that sister Daiyu came to Zhuangzi together with the younger brother, so she brought them along, and I would like to ask the younger brother to pass it on."

Lin Jue's teeth ached when he heard that, didn't they all say that the ancients were reserved and tactful? Why, as an older brother, he hasn't agreed to his sister marrying him, so he started to show courteousness.Moreover, this kind offer is so open and aboveboard that no one can refuse it.

Lin Jue reluctantly accepted the post, and said to Xie Jinxuan: "Senior Brother Lao is worried." No wonder his master always asked him about Daiyu's preferences, so he was waiting here. "On Daiyu's behalf, I thanked Senior Brother."

Xie Jinxuan waved his hands with reddened cheeks, he had already fed the dog with his calm look before, and his stupid and cute look was really unbearable to look at.

Knowing what Xie Jinxuan was thinking, Lin Jue thought of thousands of ways to torment him, just thinking about it, but forgetting, after all, Daiyu was still young, so he was not in a hurry.A family of women begs, but Xie Jinxuan has some thoughts, no matter how courteous he is now, if Daiyu really thinks he won't like him, he will try his best to make this marriage impossible.If Daiyu is really attached to him, she will be tied up, and Lin Jue will also tie her back home.

Naturally, Lin Jue was very confident in his sister, so she wouldn't need him to tie her up.

After lunch, Xie Jinxuan stayed lingeringly until night before following Master Luo to the hot spring village to rest. After a few days like this, no matter how dull Lin Jue was, he could detect Brother Xie's intentions.This person was blunt when he should be tactful, and even more tactful when he should be blunt. Lin Jue was dumbfounded.

For the sake of Senior Brother Xie's sincerity, Lin Jue couldn't be so unkind, so he asked Senior Brother Xie to take a sneak peek at his sister under the pretext of asking Master Luo to diagnose Daiyu's pulse, which can be regarded as comforting lovesickness.Looking at Kong'er again, he gave Madam Wei's post to Daiyu, and seeing that Daiyu was really happy, he took the opportunity to mention the matter of Senior Brother Xie.

Daiyu was at a loss, "What's wrong with brother today, why do you keep mentioning Senior Brother Xie, but what's the matter with Master?"

Seeing Daiyu's innocence, she didn't count on her at all, Lin Jue could only secretly sigh for Brother Xie, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

Lin Juesui stopped talking about it and started talking about other things.

Lin Jue wanted to buy the hot spring village next door because he had his eyes on the spring on the mountain.He was not born and bred in the original novel, and he couldn't stand the days when in winter there was nothing but meat, and even vegetables were only radishes, cabbage and potatoes, so he wanted to use the temperature of the hot spring to eat fresh and tender meat in winter. Green vegetables.Even some simple side dishes, he is satisfied.

Now that Zhuangzi was bought by Master Luo, it was no different from falling into his own hands. While Lin Jue was happy, he couldn't help but share the news with Daiyu.

Because he talked about the vegetables and vegetables sent by Master Luo's village in the past few days, and some game that Master Luo occasionally got, he then mentioned the "pheasant chicken soup" that he had eaten a few days ago.

"Grandmother has always been a bit particular about eating. At that time, the second wife sent someone to give this soup. Grandmother liked it very much. I used half a bowl for lunch. I happened to eat with my grandmother, so I also tasted it. Speaking of it , the taste of our dish is not as good as the one we drank at my grandmother's."

Lin Jue said with a smile: "It's different, every meal in his family is simmered ahead of time, needless to mention all the complicated things here, it's really troublesome. Our chicken soup is stewed in a native way, as the saying goes The saying goes, 'I never get tired of food, but I never get tired of fine meat', but this pheasant is game after all, if it is really cooked like that, it will lose this wild taste."

Daiyu thinks so.

The brothers and sisters talked for a while, and then went to rest.

In the evening, Daiyu thought about Lin Jue's words carefully, and suddenly realized something, her cheeks were stained with red frost, and secretly blamed her brother for not being able to understand the words, what is the meaning of this now, it's really amazing Can't figure it out.

Thinking of the tall figure that he vaguely saw today, and the calligraphy post exuding the faint fragrance of ink, his mind was confused.
