[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Bai Shao had thought a lot in her heart, Qiulan's words were still in her ears, and she was thinking about her wild words in the daytime, if she wants to be implicated, she must find Bai Guo.After all, she had only blushed with Bai Guo, and no one else had even a single quarrel.Since she had something in her mind, she didn't dare to serve Lin Ze at night, she just said that she was not feeling well, so she went back to sleep after taking leave.Unexpectedly, on the second day, Bai Guo sighed and said that Baiji offended the uncle at night, but was sent away by the uncle, and now it is useless to plead for mercy.

Bai Shao was terrified for a moment, and wanted to say that her health was still not good, but she dared not.After getting dressed, I went to Lin Ze's room. Seeing Lin Ze's face was calm, and I was even more confused, so I just fetched water as usual and helped Lin Ze wash up once.

Lin Ze thought of Bai Ji's words yesterday, seeing Bai Shao's distraught appearance, he guessed half of it in his heart.He had a headache again for a while, thinking that he is only five years old now, so he can't think of these crooked things.Seeing that Bai Shao was restless and Bai Guo's face was full of sadness, he cleared his throat and said: "Go and call Bai Zhu in, I have something to say."

Bai Guo hurriedly went out to call Bai Zhu, but Bai Shao's mouth felt slightly bitter.Thinking, could it be that the uncle's anger has not been exhausted yet, and now they are going to be sent out together?She has the most impatient temper. Although she has been taught by her mother, she has such a temperament after all. She worried about it all night yesterday, but this morning she heard the news again. Now, seeing Lin Ze's expression is indifferent, her heart is even more frightened, and her knees are bent Kneel down softly.

When Bai Guo and Bai Zhu came in, they saw Bai Shao's tears rolling down his face, his face flushed from crying, and he was sobbing uncontrollably.Surprised, the two looked at each other in unison, ran a few steps and knelt down.Bai Guo only thought that Bai Shao had done something wrong, so she begged: "If Bai Shao has done something wrong, I can just scold her, why did you make her cry like this?" Angry, Bai Guo hurriedly took a few steps and knelt down at Lin Ze's feet and kowtowed, "Master, is it possible that you can still get angry with her as a little girl? If she is not good, just beat her and scold her. I just beg you not to She had an attack. One was sent out yesterday, so why not send another one today?" As he spoke, his heart was filled with sadness and bitterness, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing that the three of them were crying hard, Lin Ze said calmly, "Shut up."

Bai Guo hurriedly pulled the veil to cover her mouth, seeing that Bai Shao's face was flushed, she didn't even dare to lift her hand, so she hurriedly grabbed her arm, at least she stopped crying.

"I asked you to come in today, but I have something to tell you." As he spoke, Lin Ze picked up the tea that had just been brewed on the table, held the saucer in one hand, and lifted the lid of the cup with the other to skim off the tea foam leisurely.Seeing that the crying of Bai Guo and the others had subsided, he said: "Everyone in my room must be called in to serve by my wife after careful inspection. Not to mention the girls in the courtyard, they are the ones who feed the birds on the porch. It is also the most honest and honest." As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Shao and saw that she also had a lot of fear in her expression, so he said coldly: "Besides, you should serve as an example when you serve in the house. How can you give birth to other people? mind."

When Bai Shao heard it, she almost fainted from fright.Hearing what the uncle said, it can be seen that the quarrel between her and Bai Guo reached the ears of the uncle yesterday, and the uncle already knew about it!

"Master Mingjian, where did you say this?" Bai Guo saw Bai Shao's face pale as paper, although she was afraid, she knew that it would be useless if she didn't distinguish right now.Yin suppressed his tears and said, "Where did you hear that? If you want to say how many of us are sisters, you would never dare to do that. This is not a joke. You have to find out."

Lin Ze chuckled, secretly praising Bai Guo for being the most responsible person since the last beating.However, out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Bai Shao, who was trembling and crying out of breath, and said softly: "You have served me for a long time, and you used to have a lot of face in the mansion. Not to mention other places, but Yu When I see you, I have to call you sisters, so don't make ugly things."

He added: "I didn't want to talk about the bletilla striata, but all of you are crying like this, so I have to talk about it."

After letting Baiguo help Bai Shao to get up, each of them wiped their faces with their handkerchiefs, and they were not so embarrassed when they described it, so they said slowly: "Yesterday, Baiji was chewing tongue in front of me. I didn't sound like it, so I asked her to go out. Who knows that this girl has a big heart, and she said a lot of stupid things, so I dismissed your favor and sent her out." After speaking, he looked at Bai Guo, seeing how unbearable she looked, and said "I know you usually regard Baiji as your younger sister, but you would never have guessed that she is the most conscientious, she doesn't show it on weekdays, but now whenever there is a gap, she wants to sharpen her head and drill into it."

He looked at Bai Shao again, and sighed softly: "You are all very good, but I have never had any other thoughts in my heart. Today, I simply use the matter of Bai Ji, and I understand what I said." See Bai Shao Dazed, Lin Ze just took a sip of tea and continued: "The girls serving in my room will never be lifted up, not to mention that you are still young, and I am only as old as I am. When you are older, you must not have these thoughts."

Seeing Bai Shao's disheveled face, she thought that this girl was chosen by Jia Min herself, her appearance and craftsmanship are perfect, only her temperament is a little impatient and not as stable as Bai Guo's, so she is not involved in many things around her.Seeing her eyes were red from crying today, and her face was completely devoid of blood, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

He said: "Since you have served me for a while, I have no plans for you. In the future, when you are older, there will naturally be good boys who will come to ask for it. You must be able to marry and be a decent lady. It is no worse than being in a deep house. Auntie has a strong face?" Thinking that her words were overstepping the rules, she smiled again and said, "I don't have the rules when I say this. But these are indeed my sincere words, so you should weigh them in your heart. "

Looking at the time, I thought it would only take two or three days for Mr. Lai to set off, so he ordered: "Don't cry, I'm tired of seeing it. I'm going to Beijing with Mr. It's important that my luggage is unpacked." After saying that, he went outside.

Bai Guo hurried a few steps, saw Lin Ze was about to leave the hospital, and wanted to call him back, but in the end he only pouted his lips and didn't dare to make a sound.But Lin Ze suddenly remembered something, stopped by the Moon Gate, turned around and saw Bai Guo standing in the yard, dazed in a daze, and said, "I think, since I'm going to the capital with Mr. A long-distance traveler followed. The three of you are at home and tidy up, everything is done according to the usual rules, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Bai Guo heard this, and hurriedly said: "How can this be done? Grandpa is away from home, if there is no one to take care of him, it will be of no use if there is a shortfall. At least I ask Grandpa to bring one or two people by his side so that we can rest assured."

Lin Ze only waved his hand, "I know what's going on, you just pack your bags, I'll talk to my wife, I won't ask you to be punished."

Hearing what Lin Ze said, Bai Guo thought of Lin Ze's usual temperament, gentle and polite but also the most resolute, and made up his mind that could not be easily shaken.So he stopped thinking about persuading him, watched Lin Ze go out of the courtyard, and headed towards his wife's yard, before turning back to the house.As soon as he entered the room, he saw Bai Shao bowed his head and sobbed, and Bai Shu stood aside with an anxious expression but did not want to persuade him, so he said softly: "Bai Shu, first go and take out the deerskin boots that uncle will wear in winter and put them on the porch to dry." After a while, Beijing is different from our place, it is said to be extremely cold.” Thinking that Lin Ze is most afraid of the cold and heat, he said: “I put my wife’s newly made fur coat and cloak on the cooker yesterday, You go and take it down and pack it, if you can't reach it, just ask Mother Liu to help you, but be careful not to tear the clothes too much."

After Baishu left, only Baiguo and Baishao were left in the house. Baiguo saw that there was only a little girl feeding the birds and a little girl watering the flowers, so she sat sideways beside Baishao and persuaded in a low voice: " Stop crying, what does it look like when people see it."

Bai Shao covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at Bai Guo with open red eyes, and sobbed, "I'm afraid the old man will send me out, if so, I'd rather hit my head here to die." As soon as she said that, Bai Guo hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her lips, and said in a low voice: "You are going to die, but you say such a thing, look at the uncle and you are not angry!"

Bai Shao pushed Bai Guo's hand away, and only cried: "If we quarreled yesterday, it can be seen that the uncle understands very well, there is no need for me to say it myself, if the uncle finds out what is wrong with me, he must send me away." Let's go." Thinking of the face of the parents at home, I was afraid that I would lose all of them, and I felt bitter for a while, and cried even harder.

Bai Guo hurriedly said: "Yesterday we quarreled so fiercely that even the little girls standing outside heard it, how can we hide it from the uncle. In my opinion, since the uncle didn't get angry with you today, it must be It's a pity that you usually behave properly, you have to abide by the rules, and you can understand the meaning of what the uncle said, don't you?"

The two talked for a while, but Bai Shao was finally persuaded by Bai Guo to stop her tears.Seeing the sun go down gradually, Bai Shao thought that the bletilla striata was sent away was really strange, and couldn't help asking Bai Guo, "Why do you say that the bletilla striata was sent away by the uncle? Last night I was not feeling well and I took a rest early. Didn't you serve with Baiji?"

Bai Guo was also puzzled, thinking how Baiji offended the uncle when he was usually not very prominent.Seeing Bai Shao's question, and thinking of what the old man said before, could it be that the girl Bai Ji told Bai Shao's thoughts in front of the old man, and the old man dismissed her because he hated her secretly?

Seeing that Bai Shao was still waiting for her to answer, it was hard to say this, so he said: "How do I know this, last night I went to fetch water to wash the old man, and when I got the water in, I saw the old man's face was angry, and Baiji was kneeling on the ground. I was crying on the ground but refused to speak. I was about to intercede when my mother came and took the bletilla striata out. I saw a celadon pen holder that my uncle used to play with on the ground was broken. I don't know if the uncle is angry."

Because of using this reason to prevaricate Bai Shao, but because of the previous speculation, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels like this, but his back can't help but break out in a cold sweat.
