The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Lin Jue happily returned to the Lin Mansion, but saw Feng Ju waiting outside the study with a frowning expression.

Seeing Lin Jue coming back, he hurriedly came over to salute, and said anxiously: "The uncle is back, and Cui Mo, who is serving Mrs. Xue's side, came over. When she saw our girl, she began to cry, begging the girl to save their third girl. "

Lin Jue frowned slightly, "Why did you ask us to come here? Isn't she a girl from the Jia family? What does she have to do with my Lin family?"

Feng Ju sighed, "It was said that someone from the Jia family stopped her from entering the mansion, so she went to beg Mrs. Xue and the eldest daughter of the Xue family. The eldest daughter of the Xue family said to help her find a doctor, but it took two days. There is no movement, seeing that the third girl is going to die, she has no choice, so she begged us to come here."

Lin Jue couldn't say much about Jia Tanchun's likes and dislikes. Hearing this, he felt displeased, but he couldn't say much, so he moved to Daiyu's yard.

At this time, Cui Mo had stopped crying, and although her eyes were still red and swollen, she had regained her composure.Seeing Lin Jue coming in, he quickly knelt down and saluted, with tears in his eyeballs, as if I felt sorry for him.Seeing this, Lin Jue frowned even tighter. Nanny Fang didn't look too good-looking, and she didn't have much to say after all because she was guarding Daiyu.

Lin Jue said coldly: "I have asked my servants to prepare a carriage, and I will take you to Jia's mansion later. If you have anything to say, you can go and talk to Mrs. Jia."

Cui Mo hurriedly thanked her, not daring to say another word.

Daiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, when Cuimo came, she was crying and begging, she couldn't be dismissed, and she couldn't drive her away, she really didn't know what to do.

After sending Cuimo away, Daiyu sighed slightly, and said: "It's true, the third sister is such a smart person, but now she is like this, and no one in the family goes to see her. She is just newly married, and she will be fine in the future." I don't know what to do."

Daiyu's heart is full of sympathy, the sisters used to be together all the time, now that Tanchun is married, but encountering such a thing, it is really unimaginable.Then there is the eldest girl of the Xue family, how could she be so cruel when she looks at a person who is considered reasonable.

Lin Jue said: "This was originally a family matter of the Xue family. The housekeeper of the Jia family is reasonable, but this girl actually found us, and the motive may not be pure."

Daiyu suddenly realized, indeed, Cui Mo was stopped when she said to go to Jia's house, could it be that she was stopped every time she went?Besides, she is the girl of Jia's mansion, so there is no other way to enter Jia's mansion?

Seeing Daiyu's face getting colder, Lin Jue comforted her, "Sister, don't worry, she's just a girl, and she can't make big waves."

Daiyu sighed helplessly, "What is this called?"

Lin Jue smiled, knowing that she was just feeling emotional, so she turned to talk about other things.

"After the new year, we can be regarded as a filial piety. My sister is the same age as Hua, so she should dress up well. The materials in Curry are all from the old year. When I am free, I ask the shop outside to send more fashionable materials. Let’s pick and choose, and make a few more sets of fashionable jewelry for wearing.”

"As for me, my brother has grown taller this year, and last year's clothes are probably shorter. And this year, my brother is going to participate in Chunwei, so I'm going to make some preparations."

Daiyu chattered about some things to be prepared for Lin Jue. When talking about the upcoming spring, she inevitably asked a few more questions, "How is your brother's preparations going?"

Lin Jue was not worried at all. It would be better if he passed the exam. If he failed the exam, he would come back for another three years. The imperial court is still suffering. "I have a five or six point grasp."

Daiyu knew that he was always somewhat reserved when speaking, so she felt relieved, "I heard that there is a newly opened Zhuangyuan building outside, and many candidates who come to Beijing to catch the exam go there to drink a bowl of Zhuangyuanhong. , Brother, go too."

Lin Jue said with a smile: "Where did I hear the gossip? If it really works, wouldn't there be a hundred or eighty champions in this department of Chunwei?"

Daiyu's cheeks were slightly red, and she said nervously, "It was just for auspiciousness."

"I won't tease you. The Zhuangyuan building originally belonged to our family. I recently bought the property. The wine is just ordinary sorghum wine. It's just a small profit by taking advantage of Chunwei's name. After Chunwei passes, Look at the situation, and then decide whether to continue." Lin Jue knows marketing strategy, although his Zhuangyuan building in Beijing is not the only one, but he is the only one who can read the previous year's test papers for free, after all, there are everywhere The capital of profiteers has squeezed a place.

Daiyu heard the words but wondered: "When did my brother buy it? There is no money missing in the account these few days?" Daiyu has always been in charge of the account in the family. In the hands of Daiyu.To set up a shop in central Beijing is not something that can be solved with a few hundred taels, at least a thousand taels.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lin Jue's face, and he hesitated, "Yes...a gift from a friend."

Daiyu looked at Lin Jue suspiciously, seeing her brother's rare embarrassing appearance, even if she had doubts, it was not easy to ask them.

Lin Jue made an excuse that he had something to do, so he didn't stay any longer, and left Daiyu's yard as if fleeing.

Seeing his hurried appearance, Daiyu was even more puzzled. She glanced at Nanny Fang who was also confused, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Uncle is not very old after all, maybe even if he is worried about Chunwei." Mother Fang saw Daiyu's worried face, so she spoke to comfort her.

Although Daiyu was worried, she still believed what Nanny Fang said, and said to Nanny Fang: "In another month, it will be Chunwei. Mammy sees if there is any recipe for nourishing the body. I want to stew it for my brother." .”

The two then talked about the medicinal recipes again. Lin Jue, who left in a hurry, still didn't know that his hard days were just coming.

Lin Jue was probably the only one who was looking forward to the coming of Chunwei soon. Although the herbal diet and medicinal diet had the word "san" in it, it was still medicine after all.Lin Jue ate it for a few days. Looking at the normal food, his mouth smelled like medicine dregs.However, Daiyu worked so hard to prepare the medicinal diet, so Lin Jue couldn't push it away, let alone pour it secretly, wasting Daiyu's painstaking efforts.

Fortunately, Chun Wei will arrive soon, and Chun Wei will try three times and nine days. Lin Jue can still maintain the appearance of a handsome young man after the first round, but after three rounds, he is so tired that he doesn't even want to talk.

Fortunately, it's not hot today, otherwise this whole body would be smelly.In the past few days of Lin Jue's exam, Li Yibai couldn't openly wait outside the tribute courtyard due to his status, but he also sent his confidants to keep watch and notify him whenever there is news.

Daiyu even came here in a carriage every day before dawn, and sat in the carriage for a whole day, until the sun had set to the west before returning to Lin's mansion.Her body photo is much better now than before, but she can still hold on for a few days.And she didn't dare to get sick, otherwise, if her brother found out, he would be angry again.

Lin Jue left the tribute courtyard, and was caught by Qingsong Qinghua from left to right. Lin Jue glanced at Qinghua, "Isn't it about going back to Zhuangzi to get married? Why are you here now?"

"Dad and mother are very worried about such a big event. They can't come out, so they told me to wait here. Dad said, the date has been set early, and they are enough at home. Tell me to wait." After the list is released here, I will go back and tell them the good news."

Zhang's mother personally chose the marriage for Qinghua. The woman is the youngest daughter of a peasant family. Her family is well off, but she has a good appearance and temperament. She has already set a date, which is five days after the end of Chunwei.Lin Jue sent Qinghua back to prepare before the exam, and the marriage will be done with Zhuangzi, so Lin Jue will also go there in person.

Lin Jue knew the temperament of this family, so she didn't force it, and only helped the two into the carriage.Daiyu was also in the car, and when she saw Lin Jue, she offered water and snacks.

Lin Jue hurriedly moved away, "Sister, stay away from me, this smell is not good on you, carefully smoke you."

Daiyu has always been a little cleanliness, but that is also an outsider, her own brother, there is really nothing to dislike.

Ignoring Lin Jue, Daiyu said to herself: "I saw someone came out two days ago. Their faces were not very good-looking. They just gobbled up food when they came out. I think they were very hungry. When my brother went, he only brought Single cakes, which are not even dared to have stuffing, are out now, let’s fill your stomach with some warm snacks first.”

Lin Jue didn't have much appetite. In fact, eating and drinking in a closed hut for the past few days was enough for him.Now the sweet snacks are in front of him, but he has no appetite at all.

Lin Jue waved his hand, "I really don't have much appetite, but there are scented tablets in the car, give me two."

Daiyu hurriedly found out the scented slices and handed them to Lin Jue. Lin Jue took the scented slices in his mouth, feeling a refreshing feeling filled his mouth and nose, and just took a deep breath.

The Gongyuan is not far from home. When he arrived home, his servants had prepared hot soup. Lin Jue soaked in the soup, and let Qingsong and Qinghua rub his shoulders, back, hair and hair for him. He was really exhausted. I don't want to move a finger.

After cleaning, Daiyu watched him eat a bowl of rice porridge, and let him rest in peace.

Lin Jue slept really darkly this time. During this period, Daiyu came to look at it twice, and invited Master Luo to look at it again. Knowing that he was really fine, he was just exhausted, so he was relieved.

During this period, Lin Jue woke up twice, saw that it was neither early nor late, and fell asleep again in a daze.Repeatedly, after three days, I was woken up by starvation.

Lin Jue stretched his waist, blinked his eyes, and pushed the soft object around him twice, but was hugged even tighter.

Turning his head to look, the corners of his mouth immediately grinned, he stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the person next to him, and kissed that person hard on the face.

Li Yibai pursed his lips, and Lin Jue gave him another big kiss on the mouth.Li Yibai held down Lin Jue, finally taking this innocent kiss one step closer.

Enough kissing, Lin Jue licked the corner of his mouth, he was a man after all, so he was not impulsive.He is now just because he is young, and it is not good to ejaculate too early, otherwise, hehe, he glared at Li Yibai, he would have done everyone a long time ago.

Li Yibai knew what this man was up to just by looking at his small eyes. He was certainly not out of ideas, but Lin Jue was young, and he was ashamed before him, so Lin Jue could do whatever he said. He dared not go overboard at all.

After kissing for a while, they got up and had dinner before they got down to business.

"How sure are you this time?" Li Yibai squeezed Lin Jue's hand and led him to digest food in the yard.When Daiyu heard that Lin Jue was awake, she came over to have a look, but she didn't enter the yard because she heard that there was a foreigner.

"Five or six points. It's not difficult to look at the previous years' scientific examination questions at first, but now I'm afraid it's not so satisfactory if I do it myself."

Li Yibai smiled and said, "It's all about obeying the destiny, but I have confidence in you."

Lin Jue smiled, he didn't take this matter very seriously, it was just a small trial, if it works, there is no other way.Now he is just worried, don't really win a fellow Jinshi, it will be hard.
