[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family
Chapter 49 Aunt Xue and her family enter Kyoto
Lin Ze stared at the book spread out in front of him, his forehead twitching intermittently.Whoops, he has memorized this book by heart, can he stop reading it?Glancing at Shen Yu who was sitting on the teacher's chair with closed eyes and resting his mind, Lin Ze withdrew his gaze in melancholy. It seemed that he had to continue reading...
Wen Xibai, who was sitting behind Lin Ze, chuckled, stretched out his finger and poked Lin Ze's back, and said in a very unkind voice, "Hey, did you enjoy reading that book? "
I'll go to you uncle!A cross popped out of Lin Ze's forehead. He really wanted to say that he didn't want to read this book at all, okay?Wen Xibai, you bastard, why do you have to sprinkle salt on his wound?Of course, this snarling language, as a little monster in sheep's clothing, would he show it?The answer is: no!
So Lin Ze pursed his lips into a smile, turned his head very "mildly" and bared his teeth at Wen Xibai, those bright white teeth almost didn't make Wen Xibai get goosebumps all over his body.
Shen Yu's eyes opened a slit, watching the interaction between Lin Ze and Wen Xibai, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.Looking at Pei Zijun who was writing silently, Shen Yu smiled a little deeper.
"Cough cough..."
Sir wake up!
Lin Ze blinked his big clear eyes, and tried his best to shoot Lin Lan's dog ray, but regrettably found that... the focus of the husband was not on himself!Turning his head resentfully, looking at the motionless Pei Zijun, Lin Ze felt that his heart was undeniably melancholy again.
"That's all for today, you go back, and show me an article you are satisfied with in five days." After finishing speaking, Shen Yu had already stood up and walked towards the door. Turning around, I explained to Lin Ze again: "Study with your heart, don't think about other things all day long."
"..."
"Lin Ze, Lin Ze, you have to study with your heart, do you know about 'heart'!" Wen Xibai smiled, and patted Lin Ze's small shoulder twice very "intentionally".Turning around, I saw Pei Zijun standing aside, staring at him with a look of disapproval.
"Oh, you don't understand the troubles of youth!" Lin Ze said with emotion, and decisively packed up his four treasures of the study, then looked at Wen Xibai and Pei Zijun and grinned, "That's it for today, I can't help it." I'll go back first."
Hearing this, Wen Xibai's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "It's not Mr. Shen who takes care of you, but you are lucky to go there every day. Is our Weiyang Academy so shameful? We hide and hide all day long. What are you afraid of, really!"
Lin Ze gave him a squinting look, and didn't bother to talk to him.
Are you comfortable if you have a bad uncle in your family looking at you?
Your family will have an annoying aunt who will trouble your sister every day, and if you don't look for it, you will feel uncomfortable. Are you at ease?
If your family wants a cheap cousin who opens his mouth every day and says that the collections of classics and history are all lu beetles, can you bear it?
Lin Ze said that he is absolutely worried about leaving his younger sister and younger brother at home to suffer such persecution!So, no matter what Wen Xibai said, Lin Ze flatly refused, "No way! Mr. Shen didn't even tell my relatives about my study here, so what are you worrying about here?"
Wen Xibai looked away sullenly.Didn't he also think that the three of them haven't lived together for several years? If you lived with a silent man who is aggressive and aggressive every day, would you be happy?When he thought of complaining to Lin Ze like this, Lin Ze's face twitched, and he complained very rudely: "Yes, I would like to live with Brother Pei. Let's be small, and I will treat you and that Whoever lives together, you have to bear it." That so-and-so, even if he didn't mention the name, he would know who Lin Ze was referring to, okay?Even washing his face is as painful as forcing him to go up the mountain of knives and down the pan of oil... This academy is not a dump, why can't that guy pay attention to personal hygiene!
So, under the watchful eyes of Pei Zijun and Wen Xibai, Lin Ze boarded his pony carriage, opened the curtain and waved, "See you in five days!"
After watching Juechen's leaving carriage for a long time, Wen Xibai restrained the expression on his face, and a cynical smile appeared on his lips again until the sky was half red with the sunset glow.
"Hey, I said, let's just let this kid go back like this?"
Pei Zijun turned his head and glanced at Wen Xibai, before turning around and going back without saying anything.Wen Xibai smacked his lips, turned around and went back a little bored, but after all he felt a little uncomfortable, and he was still whining. "I said, this kid comes and goes in a hurry every day. He thinks his grandfather's family doesn't know his whereabouts?"
"The way I see it, this kid thinks he's hiding something deep. Who knows if he'll be ripped off by his careless grandparents. I think it's safer to live in our academy, right?"
"Lin Ze is so strange. He still knows how to love his younger siblings. How old is he! When I was his age..." After a pause, Wen Xibai thought that when he was his age, he didn't have any younger brothers. Sister, I couldn't help but stop talking.But when he turned his head and saw the person walking beside him, he didn't respond at all. Did he just talk about his feelings for a long time?He was talking to himself!
"Hey, I said you were saying something!"
Pei Zijun squinted at him, "What are you talking about?"
"What do you say!"
Or this impatient virtue!Pei Zijun silently added a comment to Wen Xibai in his heart, but seeing Wen Xibai's flushed half face, he finally followed his meaning. "No matter how worried we are, with our current status, we can't help him, understand?"
Pei Zijun spoke very slowly, trying to make Wen Xibai understand what he meant.Hearing that Xi Bai didn't quite understand, Pei Zijun sighed, and said, "Who do you think is the guy who drove the carriage back and forth every day for more than a year? If it wasn't for someone's wish, he could send him off so safely. Is he coming?" Xibai seemed to understand, but Pei Zijun didn't mind throwing another mine, "Also, didn't you come to ask me last time about the person hiding in the alley every day?"
"Ah!" Wen Xibai exclaimed, thinking of the figure he saw last time, he was a little angry.A pair of eyes stared at Pei Zijun and said, "I asked you last time, why didn't you tell me?"
Pei Zijun gave him a "too lazy to explain" look, and then entered the room by himself.Only then did Wen Xibai realize that they had already reached the door of the room while they were talking.
"Hey, let me say—"
The sound that stopped abruptly permeated the silent room, but compared to the sudden appearance of a person in the dimly lit room, it felt creepy!
"You, how did you come in!" He even stammered a bit.
Pei Zijun glanced at Wen Xibai, clasped his fists neatly and said, "Greetings to Your Highness the Third Highness." After finishing speaking, he did not forget to secretly kick Wen Xibai.
Shui Zhan didn't care about their small actions, even if Wen Xibai didn't greet him, he didn't take it to heart.Instead, he looked at the lake brush in Wen Xibai's hand and squinted his eyes. "He sent it?"
"What?" Following Shui Zhan's gaze, Wen Xibai obviously also saw what was in his hand.Suddenly there was another burst of depression, "What to do, I forgot!" When he was packing Lin Ze's things, he accidentally held the lake pen in his hand, thinking that he would give Lin Ze away anyway. Those who arrive at the gate will do the same for him when the time comes.Who knows that my memory has become worse, look, this lake pen is still in my hand.
Of course Pei Zijun also saw the Guanhu brush, and immediately said: "It is indeed Lin Ze's."
Shui Zhan leaned forward and took the tube of Hu pen from Wen Xibai's hand, and lightly stroked the writing engraved on the tube, it was clearly the same tube he had given him back then.There was a slight smile on his lips, which softened his stern face slightly. "I didn't expect him to keep it. I thought he didn't want it long ago."
There seemed to be a secret softness in my heart that was gently touched.Shui Zhan looked at the tube of lake pen in front of him, and his fingertips seemed to be able to touch Lin Ze's warm body temperature, although that might just be his illusion.
Wen Xibai looked at the soft smile on Shui Zhan's lips, shrunk his shoulders unconsciously, turned his head and said to Pei Zijun in a low voice, "I'm getting goosebumps."
Before Pei Zijun could speak, Shui Zhan had already raised his head.The soft color in his eyes flashed away, leaving only a coldness.This kind of stern gaze, like a sharp knife out of its sheath, made Wen Xibai unconsciously take half a step back, and his injured calf seemed to throb a little.
"How is Mr. Shen's health?"
"Mr. Shen is recovering well. Dean Shen and Mr. Zhang have been sharing Mr. Shen's affairs by the side, so they are not too tired."
Pei Zijun's respectful answer made Shui Zhan's brows slightly relaxed, and he sighed after a while: "It's all because of my fault that Mr. Shen suffered such a great crime." Thinking that Shen You was over fifty, A few years ago, they had been sick frequently, and it was hard to hope that Shen Yu would come back, but because of their own reasons, they had to work a lot.Shui Zhan's eyebrows showed a bit of apology, but after all, he was born in the royal family, with a dignified bearing, Wen Xibai and Pei Zijun didn't dare to look directly at him.
After sitting for a while, after saying a few words, Shui Zhan still hesitated to put the topic on Lin Ze.
"I heard... I heard that every time he comes to the academy, he has to come and leave on the same day. Why is he in such a hurry?"
Wen Xi said in a white heart: What kind of wolf with a big tail are you leaving me here? What did you hear about it? Who did you listen to?You don't have enough arrangements for secret whistle, three steps, one post, five steps and one whistle, so feel free to pretend to be a little sheep in front of us!It's just that no matter how fat he is, he won't dare to be so presumptuous. His neck is very thin. If the person in front of him gets angry, he won't be able to withstand a stab at him...
Unknowingly, Wen Xibai, who had been frightened by the picture he had made up in his head, stood aside blankly.Pei Zijun only took one look at him and knew that his brain had gone, and he didn't know where it went, so he had to report to Shui Zhan himself: "He often said that he is now living in his grandfather's house, and many things are inconvenient and not convenient. In order to cause trouble for others. Besides, because he has younger brothers and younger sisters at home, it is difficult for him to live in the academy, and he is worried about it, so he resigned from Mr. Shen's kindness and only walked two more steps every day. That's it."
After hearing this, Shui Zhan sighed again.
Send someone under the fence.These four characters seem to be light and light, but in fact they are as heavy as a shackle.His little Jiu'er should have slept peacefully among the red walls and green tiles, so he didn't need to suffer this.Even though Pei Zijun's words were avoided, how could Shui Zhan not know what Lin Ze had endured this year.Just talking about the Jia family, the ancestors started with military exploits, and passed down to this generation, they are no longer as high as Erlang in the temple, let alone fighting in the battlefield to serve the country.
Seeing that Shui Zhan lowered his eyes and remained silent, Pei Zijun stretched out his hand and silently pinched the back of Wen Xibai's hand, which at least made Wen Xibai jump out of his fictional scene.And look at Wen Xibai's cold sweat from being frightened by the pictures in his brain, even Pei Zijun couldn't help but admire him, the world in his brain is so rich!
Wen Xibai gave Pei Zijun a silent look, and Pei Zijun pinched him again unkindly, meaning to tell Wen Xibai, "Restrain yourself, there are still people here!"
"Tsk." Wen Xibai glanced at Shui Zhan who was still sitting on the chair with downcast eyes, "Third Highness, you are busy with your affairs, why don't you leave?"
Shui Zhan raised his head and glanced at him, that cold look scared Wen Xibai's little boy again—he jumped up, and then said to Pei Zijun: "I just came to see it today when I'm free, you guys Let's go to bed early after a day of tiredness." With that said, he opened the door and went out.
When Shui Zhan was far away, Wen Xibai curled his lips at Pei Zijun and said, "Didn't you say that he was recovering from his injuries in the palace before, so he can come out alive and kicking so fast to do his best?"
……
Pei Zijun stared at Wen Xibai for a long while, and then slowly opened his mouth after Wen Xibai's trembling heart skipped a few more times unwilling to be lonely. "What do you think about every day? This idiom is used... When I go back to Mr. Zhang tomorrow, I will receive the punishment first. I don't need to embarrass you."
"Hey!"
It was Pei Zijun's handsome back that answered him, leaving only Wen Xibai silently blowing the cold wind of early spring.
However, as soon as Lin Zecai returned to Lixiangyuan, he heard Zijuan come to deliver a message. He only said that Mrs. Wang's relatives had come, and that he wanted all his sisters and brothers to sit at the old lady's place at night.
Lin Ze just smiled and didn't speak.Looking back, I saw Qingmei fetching water, and said to Zijuan, "Our uncle just came back. After traveling for such a day, he hasn't recovered well. How can we just go to see foreigners like this?"
Hearing what Qingmei said, Zijuan remembered that Lin Ze had a hole in his head and suffered so much grievance, but he didn't say a word, and the second master and second wife ignored it, and passed away with peace of mind.Now that the second wife's relatives are here, and Uncle Lin is required to welcome them out, no one will just be willing to change whoever they are?
Seeing that the smile on Zijuan's face was gone, Lin Ze only smiled and asked, "Has your girl gone?"
Zijuan hurriedly said: "Miss, I talked with the second and third misses this afternoon. After the old lady took a nap, she went to play with the old lady. She hasn't come back now, only the licorice has sent a message." She said she was going to eat at the old lady's place." Then she said, "The girl wants me to come back to see if the uncle is back, and I just came and didn't see it."
Lin Ze nodded and smiled, and asked Lin Lan again, and Zijuan also said that a woman had already picked Lin Lan up, so she just looked at Lin Ze, wondering if Lin Ze would go or not.Lin Ze stopped talking, and only said that he had a headache, and Zijuan smiled awkwardly, stepped back, and never mentioned this again.
On the other hand, Qingmei put away the towel and washbasin, seeing Lin Ze leaning on the couch, closing his eyes and resting his mind, it was really funny, she said: "Why is this so, if you are really worried, just go and have a look. I don't want to think about the girl and the two The two of you are there, what if you are bullied?" He smiled and put away his things, only to see Lin Ze lazily saying, "Master, even if you are at home, you should be more dignified. What kind of thing! If you want to be seen by Hongxing sister, you should be told, and even we will be scolded by Hongxing sister."
"Isn't she not here now? How can I go there now, and a foreigner is here, who knows if she came to the girl's house. Even the girl in their family has a girl who is older than me." Said, Lin Ze smiled again and said: "Besides, how old am I, and I'm not that one. I spend my days with my sisters and sisters, and if it spreads, it will ruin my future. Even the sisters Your boudoir reputation will be ruined."
After speaking, Qingmei laughed, and said: "The uncle knows how to make up and send people. I am like an adult, and I still want to find fault with others. If you say such old-fashioned words, if you want a girl here, you should quarrel again. You also said that you don’t want to be with your sisters and sisters, if the girl hears this, you will not be allowed to go to school every day and come back.”
Hearing what she said, Lin Ze touched his nose and stopped talking.
He didn't hide from Daiyu and Lin Lan about his going to Weiyang Academy.It should be said that they did not hide the truth from the people brought by the Lin family.I'm afraid only Zicuckoo and the rough envoys sent by the Jia family don't know about this courtyard.
Daiyu has a lot of complaints about her daily travels.As long as you think that this is because you are worried that she and Lan'er are not at home, don't raise your opinions.Lin Ze thought for a while, and felt that what Qingmei said was too reasonable. If Daiyu heard what she said, she would definitely react like this!
However, thinking of Mrs. Wang's relatives... Lin Ze yelled "ah", which startled Qingmei.As soon as he turned around, he saw Lin Ze's dumbfounded expression, which made people laugh.
Qingmei walked over and saw that Lin Ze was still in a daze, so she said, "Master, this is very good, why did you suddenly shout like that?"
Lin Ze patted himself on the head, and said in surprise, "I suddenly thought of something, that Mrs. Wang...ah, no, the second wife's relative is named Xue?"
Qingmei glanced at him strangely, and only said: "The relatives of their family, where is it our turn to inquire. We only live in our yard, and take care of other people's business?" She laughed again: "Uncle doesn't know what he's thinking, he's so startled that we're all too scared to do anything."
Lin Ze thought the same, he didn't even see the person who came there, how could Qingmei and the others know.Rubbing his chin, Lin Ze thought for a while before saying, "I think I should go for a walk when I'm full."
Qingmei glanced at him, and exposed him without buying it, "You haven't eaten yet, why are you full? Still don't want to eat? Then I won't serve the food." After saying that, she made a gesture to leave.
"Hehe..." With a sneer, Lin Ze said in a good manner: "I'm hungry, sister Qingmei quickly bring me food."
Qingmei smiled and brought the food over. Lin Zeyin was already hungry after staying in the academy for a day, smelling the delicious food, he ate very happily.After a while, I ate a bowl of rice clean.Still staring at a dish of West Lake vinegar fish on the table, he just touched his stomach, and he also knew that if he ate too much at night, he would suffer.
So, after Qingmei cleaned up the dishes, Lin Ze once again expressed his opinion that he wanted to go for a stroll to digest food.This time Qingmei didn't object, seeing that Lin Ze was about to go out, she didn't forget to hand him a cloak, and asked Bai Shao to quickly follow with a box in her arms.
Lin Ze glanced at Bai Shao in bewilderment, seeing the familiar box in her hand, he was puzzled first. "Bai Shao, do you know what you are hugging?"
Bai Shao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Uncle watched Qing Mei's sister tidy up, but he forgot?"
Lin Ze only smiled and said, "Didn't I forget too many things!" He looked at the box carefully, and thought of something in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, let's go first Go there, old lady."
Bai Shao followed Lin Ze and said with a smile: "Master, I'm so surprised, why did you call 'Lao Taijun' like us?"
When Lin Ze heard Bai Shao's question, he only smiled, but stopped talking.Seeing that Lin Ze didn't speak, Bai Shao didn't feel anything, just smiled and hugged the box tightly again.When she was about to leave the house, Sister Qingmei told her that the contents of this box had to be hugged, and she was going to save face for the girl later!
After a while, the two went to Jia Mu's upper room, and saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, and people were coming and going, which was very lively.Looks like I've had dinner.Bai Shao smiled and went to the front to say hello to a maid in front of the courtyard, and said: "Our uncle is late, but I don't know if the old lady is busy here?"
The servant girl smiled and said, "What are you talking about, sister?"
Saying that, when he was about to welcome Bai Shao in, he saw that the door curtain of the upper room was beaten, and a pretty maid walked out of it.Looks very well-groomed, fair complexion, only a few freckles on both sides of the nose, but it does not damage her complexion.I saw her walking down the steps with a smile on her face, she took Bai Shao's hand as soon as she got to Bai Shao, and said with a smile: "Listen, the old lady just said that she was looking forward to your uncle coming, who I think it’s my body that’s not feeling well again.”
Looking at Lin Ze again, he said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that Uncle Lin will laugh at me. I seem to have heard Bai Shao's voice when I was in the room, so I hurriedly ran out to watch. Take a look, isn't it!" Pulling Bai Shao, he smiled and said to Lin Ze: "Uncle Lin, don't let the girl next to you say such things again, it's hard for you to come to the room, why don't you go in and give the old lady a good time?"
Lin Ze smiled and asked her to go first, Yuanyang just smiled and said: "Which famous brand are we, dare to go in front?" Then he asked Bai Shao: "Is it true that your uncles are all walking behind you? Doesn’t that make sense?”
Lin Ze laughed at what she said, he had a good impression of Yuanyang.This girl has a good heart, she is friendly, she smiles when she sees people, and she is straight, she is of two different species from the Hua Xiren next to Jia Baoyu!Lin Ze smiled and went inside, but he stopped at the door and said to Yuanyang, "I'd better stop here, I'm afraid I'll bump into it when I go in."
Yuanyang covered her lips and said with a smile: "Only Uncle Lin has so many rules to say." Although he said so, he opened the curtain and went inside to report. After a while, he heard Jiamu's voice from inside, He said with a smile: "Please come in quickly, you don't have to be so particular about it!"
Lin Ze lowered his head and smiled, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
When the mandarin ducks were about to come out, Lin Ze saw a figure in red and green out of the corner of his eyes, and suddenly the corners of his eyes twitched, feeling that he had come at the wrong time.But it seems too late to run away now. Seeing the figure in the bright red clothes approaching gradually, Lin Ze twitched his eyes and saw that man's round face like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival showing an expression of anger and laughter.
"Cousin Lin, you're here!"
"Second cousin."
Yuanyang had already opened the curtain and came out. Seeing Jia Baoyu standing at the door, he smiled and said, "Second master is here too. It just so happens that a sister is here today. You can hold back your madness and don't take it too seriously." People were scared away."
Baoyu laughed and said, "Sister Yuanyang is laughing at me again." As he spoke, he still glanced at Lin Ze. Seeing Lin Ze's smile and gentle expression, he leaned over to pull Lin Ze's hand.
Although Lin Ze watched them talking with a smile, the peripheral vision in the corner of his eyes did not relax his vigilance, and he kept watching Jia Baoyu's movements.Seeing that his paws were restless, he immediately swayed two steps to the side very quickly, the kind that doesn't show any traces!
Yuanyang didn't notice the small movements between the two of them, just smiled and pulled Jia Baoyu's arm to go inside first.As he walked, he said, "Old lady, just look at who is here!"
When Jia's mother saw Baoyu, she had already laughed, and hurriedly asked Baoyu to come to her. She rubbed Baoyu's neck repeatedly with her hand, and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Auntie. My two jade children are the most mischievous. I can't stop worrying about them every day."
A middle-aged woman under the seat smiled and said: "The old lady is the best at taking care of people. It is also a blessing for their children to have an old lady take care of them."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang also smiled and said: "You are too self-effacing in what you said. I just look at Bao girl very well. She is sensible and well-behaved. You are lucky to have a child like Bao girl."
Aunt Xue just smiled and covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Sister, I didn't say what I said. It's really about looking at your girl and then at our children. It's really different."
Jia Mu just smiled, looked up to see Lin Ze coming, and said with a busy smile, "You just came back? I heard from the servant girl that you are not feeling well, are you feeling better now?"
Lin Ze laughed and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, old lady. I just had a headache when I came back at night. It'll be better after a short rest, and thinking that the old lady is thinking about it, I hurried over here."
Mother Jia pointed to Lin Ze and introduced it to Aunt Xue, "This is Yu'er's elder brother. He is very sensible at a young age."
Aunt Xue looked at it with a smile, but she was also surprised.She and Mrs. Wang often corresponded. In the letter, Mrs. Wang also mentioned the three children of the Lin family. She only said that the eldest son of the Lin family was adopted and could not stand on the stage, and the youngest son was naive and ignorant.The girl from the Lin family was even more frightening, she looked exactly like her sister-in-law who died young, and she pretended to be arrogant all day long.
Aunt Xue always comforted Mrs. Wang in her letters, and it was really embarrassing to think that there were only three children in such a family as the Lin family.Just looking at it now, the Lin family's son is actually a gentle and handsome young man, much better than her family's kid!
Before anyone could speak, Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I also sent someone to invite you at night, but the maid said you were busy and couldn't get away. I often say, you are still young, why should you be like this?" Busy, it’s not good to be exhausted in vain.”
What this said is that the elders ran back two or three times to invite you, but you reasoned that you had something to do and refused to come.I don't even think about the status of the elders. If you come here as a child, you will say that you have a headache, and you are lying.
Lin Ze sneered in his heart, but his face always had a gentle smile, he just said: "It's not my fault, it's just that I don't have a headache for a day or two." Then, he paused, and only smiled: "It's my fault. He said he would come earlier, who would have thought that he would be late because he wanted to find something."
Mrs. Wang had stopped talking for a long time, and her face was very ugly.This brat is obviously threatening her. Speaking of this headache, it can be seen that he is worried about what happened in the family school back then!Seeing Mother Jia looking over with warning eyes, Mrs. Wang looked down at the pattern on her lap.
At that time, she and the master both had a calm attitude. The master didn't want to reveal this disgraceful thing, but she was happy to see the little boy of the Lin family suffer.But for Mother Jia, even if they didn't come to tell, she naturally has her own way to know. The reason why she doesn't tell and pretends not to know is probably for the sake of the master.
Jia Baoyu was unaware of the stagnant atmosphere, and smiled in silence in the room: "Old lady, is this the new sister Bao?" He walked to Xue Baochai's side.
Xue Baochai also greeted Jia Baoyu with a smile.Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "There are no rules at all. Why don't you greet your elder sister Bao soon?" She said to Aunt Xue, "I, Baoyu, am the most mischievous. It will be better in the future, but Bao girl is sensible and courteous. Can hold him down!"
Daiyu sneered, Lin Ze just smiled and stretched out his hand to pat the back of her hand, then said with a soft smile, "Don't be annoyed, just watch a play."
Daiyu only said softly next to Lin Ze: "I'm not curious about it, they are chasing after me."
The two of them spoke softly and lowly, except for Cui Mama who was standing behind them heard it, but no one could really hear it.Looking at it, I can only feel that Daiyu and Lin Ze are leaning against each other, as if they are whispering, their expressions are very intimate.
Mrs. Wang first smiled and said, "It's just that the eldest girl has a good relationship with your brother."
Daiyu's expression turned cold, and when she was about to speak, Lin Zexian stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'm just making everyone laugh, because I'm not at home during the day, I'm afraid Yu'er didn't take good care of herself."
Jia Mu smiled and clapped her hands and said, "After all, you are the elder brother who loves her very much. I, Yu'er, am a lucky one." Then she looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "Don't talk as much as you can, please live here. Excuse me, let's get closer. Besides, you sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's rare to get together now, so it's good to see them often in one place."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and listened. When Mrs. Jia had finished speaking, Mrs. Wang was about to speak, when she heard a maid outside the house come in and say, "The master said that there are many things ahead, so I won't come here." In the Spring and Autumn Period, my nephew was young and didn't know the way of the world, and I was afraid that someone would happen to live outside. There is a courtyard near the garden in the south of our house, with five or six rooms, which are vacant and cleaned. Please ask your aunt and sisters to live there. good."
Although Aunt Xue is very happy to live together in the future, she can hold her son tighter, but if she lives elsewhere, she is afraid that he will indulge in sex and cause trouble.I just heard the maid say that there are only five or six rooms in a small courtyard, and it's a little tight for their family to go to Beijing, but it's hard to say anything else.
Mrs. Wang had seen Aunt Xue's expression clearly, and secretly resented that the old lady gave the Lixiang Courtyard with more than ten rooms in the northeast corner to the three of the Lin family, and now her relatives have nowhere to live when they come.I also thought about the courtyard on the south side next to the garden, no one lived there all the year round, and it was a damp, cold and sunny place, how could it be suitable for people to live in!
But Jia Mu said with a smile: "My aunt is laughing at me. Although our house is big, there are few houses with more than ten rooms in the yard. Even I, Yu'er, now only live with me in the bisha kitchen. " And he said with a smile: "Although the courtyard in the south is smaller, I have to forgive my aunt after all. If there are any remaining people who don't use it very much, the second wife should find another yard to live in. Although it is not convenient to move around, living in It’s also very cheap.”
Hearing what Jia Mu said, Aunt Xue had nothing else to say, so she hurriedly thanked her for agreeing.He smiled again and said: "It's our good fortune that the old lady is so worried about us. It's just that I have a word here, and the old lady, please don't joke. We live here as a family, and all daily expenses will be waived. That’s the way to go.”
Mrs. Wang knew that this was not difficult for his family, so she followed her wish, just smiled and said, "That's what you said." Then she took Baochai's hand and said with a smile, "I like Bao girl as soon as I see her, as long as you are in the future It’s good to come to my place often.”
Baochai also blushed and said with a smile, "Auntie is dear, I will go there often."
Jia Baoyu watched from the side, feeling that the newcomer Sister Bao was slightly muscular, and she was a different girl from Sister Lin who was weak and weak.Thinking about how many good girls are in my home, I feel very proud, and I thought: I would be willing to spend my whole life with these sisters and sisters.Unconsciously, he narrowed his eyes and felt a little sleepy.
As soon as Lin Ze came in, he didn't even give half of his eyes to the beauty of the Xue family, and seeing Daiyu's expression was calm, he knew that she was a little sleepy.Just as she was about to say goodbye, Xue Baochai walked towards Daiyu unwilling to be lonely.
"Sister Lin, this is the first time we've met, and I don't have anything else on me, so I'm just giving this to you, don't dislike it." Then, he took off an armband from his arm and handed it to her. Daiyu.
Daiyu just watched with a cold face and didn't speak.But Tanchun said from the side: "This bracelet is really delicate."
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "This armband was originally on our way to Beijing. When I saw the new item that was just released in the Jumbo House, Bao girl fell in love with it as soon as she saw it. Now I'm giving it to my sister. It also means being close." .”
When Mrs. Wang saw that Daiyu didn't answer or speak, she said, "Perhaps the eldest girl has seen so many good things that she doesn't like them."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she covered her lips and smiled, "I forgot, Miss Lin has seen it before. There is nothing so rare about such stupid things like us!"
Lin Lan, who had been drowsy on the chair for a long time, opened his eyes and saw a golden object in front of him. After a closer look, it turned out that it was a fat girl holding a golden bracelet in her palm.Looking at that posture, it seems that he is going to give it to his sister.
The chubby Lin Lan rubbed his eyes, pointed at the Jin Chuaner in Xue Baochai's hand and said childishly, "Sister, is this for you?"
Seeing Lin Lan's sleepy eyes, Baochai also smiled and said, "Yes, this bracelet is exquisite in style and delicate in pattern, it is very suitable for my daughter's family to wear."
Lin Lan ignored her, and continued to say: "But, sister, shouldn't we not be able to wear such golden objects?" As he spoke, he blinked his black eyes twice in confusion, "My wife's filial piety. It's not over yet."
Lin Ze held back his smile and coughed away, which seemed to be a bit sad for others.Daiyu caressed Lin Lan's hair with downcast eyes, and said in a warm voice, "Yes, we are children, how can we forget about filial piety."
In a word, it made Xue Baochai very boring.She had no choice but to take back the armlet in an embarrassing manner, and forced a smile: "I was reckless, sister, don't be angry with me."
Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Sister Xue is also kind, but I'm not blessed." Then, she only bowed to Jiamu, and said, "Grandmother, it's getting late. I'm always dozing off when I see Lan'er." .”
Jia Mu just nodded and smiled and said, "Very well, it's so late, you should go back and have a rest." Then she asked Yuanyang to take them out in person.
Lin Ze smiled and said at this moment:
Wen Xibai, who was sitting behind Lin Ze, chuckled, stretched out his finger and poked Lin Ze's back, and said in a very unkind voice, "Hey, did you enjoy reading that book? "
I'll go to you uncle!A cross popped out of Lin Ze's forehead. He really wanted to say that he didn't want to read this book at all, okay?Wen Xibai, you bastard, why do you have to sprinkle salt on his wound?Of course, this snarling language, as a little monster in sheep's clothing, would he show it?The answer is: no!
So Lin Ze pursed his lips into a smile, turned his head very "mildly" and bared his teeth at Wen Xibai, those bright white teeth almost didn't make Wen Xibai get goosebumps all over his body.
Shen Yu's eyes opened a slit, watching the interaction between Lin Ze and Wen Xibai, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.Looking at Pei Zijun who was writing silently, Shen Yu smiled a little deeper.
"Cough cough..."
Sir wake up!
Lin Ze blinked his big clear eyes, and tried his best to shoot Lin Lan's dog ray, but regrettably found that... the focus of the husband was not on himself!Turning his head resentfully, looking at the motionless Pei Zijun, Lin Ze felt that his heart was undeniably melancholy again.
"That's all for today, you go back, and show me an article you are satisfied with in five days." After finishing speaking, Shen Yu had already stood up and walked towards the door. Turning around, I explained to Lin Ze again: "Study with your heart, don't think about other things all day long."
"..."
"Lin Ze, Lin Ze, you have to study with your heart, do you know about 'heart'!" Wen Xibai smiled, and patted Lin Ze's small shoulder twice very "intentionally".Turning around, I saw Pei Zijun standing aside, staring at him with a look of disapproval.
"Oh, you don't understand the troubles of youth!" Lin Ze said with emotion, and decisively packed up his four treasures of the study, then looked at Wen Xibai and Pei Zijun and grinned, "That's it for today, I can't help it." I'll go back first."
Hearing this, Wen Xibai's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "It's not Mr. Shen who takes care of you, but you are lucky to go there every day. Is our Weiyang Academy so shameful? We hide and hide all day long. What are you afraid of, really!"
Lin Ze gave him a squinting look, and didn't bother to talk to him.
Are you comfortable if you have a bad uncle in your family looking at you?
Your family will have an annoying aunt who will trouble your sister every day, and if you don't look for it, you will feel uncomfortable. Are you at ease?
If your family wants a cheap cousin who opens his mouth every day and says that the collections of classics and history are all lu beetles, can you bear it?
Lin Ze said that he is absolutely worried about leaving his younger sister and younger brother at home to suffer such persecution!So, no matter what Wen Xibai said, Lin Ze flatly refused, "No way! Mr. Shen didn't even tell my relatives about my study here, so what are you worrying about here?"
Wen Xibai looked away sullenly.Didn't he also think that the three of them haven't lived together for several years? If you lived with a silent man who is aggressive and aggressive every day, would you be happy?When he thought of complaining to Lin Ze like this, Lin Ze's face twitched, and he complained very rudely: "Yes, I would like to live with Brother Pei. Let's be small, and I will treat you and that Whoever lives together, you have to bear it." That so-and-so, even if he didn't mention the name, he would know who Lin Ze was referring to, okay?Even washing his face is as painful as forcing him to go up the mountain of knives and down the pan of oil... This academy is not a dump, why can't that guy pay attention to personal hygiene!
So, under the watchful eyes of Pei Zijun and Wen Xibai, Lin Ze boarded his pony carriage, opened the curtain and waved, "See you in five days!"
After watching Juechen's leaving carriage for a long time, Wen Xibai restrained the expression on his face, and a cynical smile appeared on his lips again until the sky was half red with the sunset glow.
"Hey, I said, let's just let this kid go back like this?"
Pei Zijun turned his head and glanced at Wen Xibai, before turning around and going back without saying anything.Wen Xibai smacked his lips, turned around and went back a little bored, but after all he felt a little uncomfortable, and he was still whining. "I said, this kid comes and goes in a hurry every day. He thinks his grandfather's family doesn't know his whereabouts?"
"The way I see it, this kid thinks he's hiding something deep. Who knows if he'll be ripped off by his careless grandparents. I think it's safer to live in our academy, right?"
"Lin Ze is so strange. He still knows how to love his younger siblings. How old is he! When I was his age..." After a pause, Wen Xibai thought that when he was his age, he didn't have any younger brothers. Sister, I couldn't help but stop talking.But when he turned his head and saw the person walking beside him, he didn't respond at all. Did he just talk about his feelings for a long time?He was talking to himself!
"Hey, I said you were saying something!"
Pei Zijun squinted at him, "What are you talking about?"
"What do you say!"
Or this impatient virtue!Pei Zijun silently added a comment to Wen Xibai in his heart, but seeing Wen Xibai's flushed half face, he finally followed his meaning. "No matter how worried we are, with our current status, we can't help him, understand?"
Pei Zijun spoke very slowly, trying to make Wen Xibai understand what he meant.Hearing that Xi Bai didn't quite understand, Pei Zijun sighed, and said, "Who do you think is the guy who drove the carriage back and forth every day for more than a year? If it wasn't for someone's wish, he could send him off so safely. Is he coming?" Xibai seemed to understand, but Pei Zijun didn't mind throwing another mine, "Also, didn't you come to ask me last time about the person hiding in the alley every day?"
"Ah!" Wen Xibai exclaimed, thinking of the figure he saw last time, he was a little angry.A pair of eyes stared at Pei Zijun and said, "I asked you last time, why didn't you tell me?"
Pei Zijun gave him a "too lazy to explain" look, and then entered the room by himself.Only then did Wen Xibai realize that they had already reached the door of the room while they were talking.
"Hey, let me say—"
The sound that stopped abruptly permeated the silent room, but compared to the sudden appearance of a person in the dimly lit room, it felt creepy!
"You, how did you come in!" He even stammered a bit.
Pei Zijun glanced at Wen Xibai, clasped his fists neatly and said, "Greetings to Your Highness the Third Highness." After finishing speaking, he did not forget to secretly kick Wen Xibai.
Shui Zhan didn't care about their small actions, even if Wen Xibai didn't greet him, he didn't take it to heart.Instead, he looked at the lake brush in Wen Xibai's hand and squinted his eyes. "He sent it?"
"What?" Following Shui Zhan's gaze, Wen Xibai obviously also saw what was in his hand.Suddenly there was another burst of depression, "What to do, I forgot!" When he was packing Lin Ze's things, he accidentally held the lake pen in his hand, thinking that he would give Lin Ze away anyway. Those who arrive at the gate will do the same for him when the time comes.Who knows that my memory has become worse, look, this lake pen is still in my hand.
Of course Pei Zijun also saw the Guanhu brush, and immediately said: "It is indeed Lin Ze's."
Shui Zhan leaned forward and took the tube of Hu pen from Wen Xibai's hand, and lightly stroked the writing engraved on the tube, it was clearly the same tube he had given him back then.There was a slight smile on his lips, which softened his stern face slightly. "I didn't expect him to keep it. I thought he didn't want it long ago."
There seemed to be a secret softness in my heart that was gently touched.Shui Zhan looked at the tube of lake pen in front of him, and his fingertips seemed to be able to touch Lin Ze's warm body temperature, although that might just be his illusion.
Wen Xibai looked at the soft smile on Shui Zhan's lips, shrunk his shoulders unconsciously, turned his head and said to Pei Zijun in a low voice, "I'm getting goosebumps."
Before Pei Zijun could speak, Shui Zhan had already raised his head.The soft color in his eyes flashed away, leaving only a coldness.This kind of stern gaze, like a sharp knife out of its sheath, made Wen Xibai unconsciously take half a step back, and his injured calf seemed to throb a little.
"How is Mr. Shen's health?"
"Mr. Shen is recovering well. Dean Shen and Mr. Zhang have been sharing Mr. Shen's affairs by the side, so they are not too tired."
Pei Zijun's respectful answer made Shui Zhan's brows slightly relaxed, and he sighed after a while: "It's all because of my fault that Mr. Shen suffered such a great crime." Thinking that Shen You was over fifty, A few years ago, they had been sick frequently, and it was hard to hope that Shen Yu would come back, but because of their own reasons, they had to work a lot.Shui Zhan's eyebrows showed a bit of apology, but after all, he was born in the royal family, with a dignified bearing, Wen Xibai and Pei Zijun didn't dare to look directly at him.
After sitting for a while, after saying a few words, Shui Zhan still hesitated to put the topic on Lin Ze.
"I heard... I heard that every time he comes to the academy, he has to come and leave on the same day. Why is he in such a hurry?"
Wen Xi said in a white heart: What kind of wolf with a big tail are you leaving me here? What did you hear about it? Who did you listen to?You don't have enough arrangements for secret whistle, three steps, one post, five steps and one whistle, so feel free to pretend to be a little sheep in front of us!It's just that no matter how fat he is, he won't dare to be so presumptuous. His neck is very thin. If the person in front of him gets angry, he won't be able to withstand a stab at him...
Unknowingly, Wen Xibai, who had been frightened by the picture he had made up in his head, stood aside blankly.Pei Zijun only took one look at him and knew that his brain had gone, and he didn't know where it went, so he had to report to Shui Zhan himself: "He often said that he is now living in his grandfather's house, and many things are inconvenient and not convenient. In order to cause trouble for others. Besides, because he has younger brothers and younger sisters at home, it is difficult for him to live in the academy, and he is worried about it, so he resigned from Mr. Shen's kindness and only walked two more steps every day. That's it."
After hearing this, Shui Zhan sighed again.
Send someone under the fence.These four characters seem to be light and light, but in fact they are as heavy as a shackle.His little Jiu'er should have slept peacefully among the red walls and green tiles, so he didn't need to suffer this.Even though Pei Zijun's words were avoided, how could Shui Zhan not know what Lin Ze had endured this year.Just talking about the Jia family, the ancestors started with military exploits, and passed down to this generation, they are no longer as high as Erlang in the temple, let alone fighting in the battlefield to serve the country.
Seeing that Shui Zhan lowered his eyes and remained silent, Pei Zijun stretched out his hand and silently pinched the back of Wen Xibai's hand, which at least made Wen Xibai jump out of his fictional scene.And look at Wen Xibai's cold sweat from being frightened by the pictures in his brain, even Pei Zijun couldn't help but admire him, the world in his brain is so rich!
Wen Xibai gave Pei Zijun a silent look, and Pei Zijun pinched him again unkindly, meaning to tell Wen Xibai, "Restrain yourself, there are still people here!"
"Tsk." Wen Xibai glanced at Shui Zhan who was still sitting on the chair with downcast eyes, "Third Highness, you are busy with your affairs, why don't you leave?"
Shui Zhan raised his head and glanced at him, that cold look scared Wen Xibai's little boy again—he jumped up, and then said to Pei Zijun: "I just came to see it today when I'm free, you guys Let's go to bed early after a day of tiredness." With that said, he opened the door and went out.
When Shui Zhan was far away, Wen Xibai curled his lips at Pei Zijun and said, "Didn't you say that he was recovering from his injuries in the palace before, so he can come out alive and kicking so fast to do his best?"
……
Pei Zijun stared at Wen Xibai for a long while, and then slowly opened his mouth after Wen Xibai's trembling heart skipped a few more times unwilling to be lonely. "What do you think about every day? This idiom is used... When I go back to Mr. Zhang tomorrow, I will receive the punishment first. I don't need to embarrass you."
"Hey!"
It was Pei Zijun's handsome back that answered him, leaving only Wen Xibai silently blowing the cold wind of early spring.
However, as soon as Lin Zecai returned to Lixiangyuan, he heard Zijuan come to deliver a message. He only said that Mrs. Wang's relatives had come, and that he wanted all his sisters and brothers to sit at the old lady's place at night.
Lin Ze just smiled and didn't speak.Looking back, I saw Qingmei fetching water, and said to Zijuan, "Our uncle just came back. After traveling for such a day, he hasn't recovered well. How can we just go to see foreigners like this?"
Hearing what Qingmei said, Zijuan remembered that Lin Ze had a hole in his head and suffered so much grievance, but he didn't say a word, and the second master and second wife ignored it, and passed away with peace of mind.Now that the second wife's relatives are here, and Uncle Lin is required to welcome them out, no one will just be willing to change whoever they are?
Seeing that the smile on Zijuan's face was gone, Lin Ze only smiled and asked, "Has your girl gone?"
Zijuan hurriedly said: "Miss, I talked with the second and third misses this afternoon. After the old lady took a nap, she went to play with the old lady. She hasn't come back now, only the licorice has sent a message." She said she was going to eat at the old lady's place." Then she said, "The girl wants me to come back to see if the uncle is back, and I just came and didn't see it."
Lin Ze nodded and smiled, and asked Lin Lan again, and Zijuan also said that a woman had already picked Lin Lan up, so she just looked at Lin Ze, wondering if Lin Ze would go or not.Lin Ze stopped talking, and only said that he had a headache, and Zijuan smiled awkwardly, stepped back, and never mentioned this again.
On the other hand, Qingmei put away the towel and washbasin, seeing Lin Ze leaning on the couch, closing his eyes and resting his mind, it was really funny, she said: "Why is this so, if you are really worried, just go and have a look. I don't want to think about the girl and the two The two of you are there, what if you are bullied?" He smiled and put away his things, only to see Lin Ze lazily saying, "Master, even if you are at home, you should be more dignified. What kind of thing! If you want to be seen by Hongxing sister, you should be told, and even we will be scolded by Hongxing sister."
"Isn't she not here now? How can I go there now, and a foreigner is here, who knows if she came to the girl's house. Even the girl in their family has a girl who is older than me." Said, Lin Ze smiled again and said: "Besides, how old am I, and I'm not that one. I spend my days with my sisters and sisters, and if it spreads, it will ruin my future. Even the sisters Your boudoir reputation will be ruined."
After speaking, Qingmei laughed, and said: "The uncle knows how to make up and send people. I am like an adult, and I still want to find fault with others. If you say such old-fashioned words, if you want a girl here, you should quarrel again. You also said that you don’t want to be with your sisters and sisters, if the girl hears this, you will not be allowed to go to school every day and come back.”
Hearing what she said, Lin Ze touched his nose and stopped talking.
He didn't hide from Daiyu and Lin Lan about his going to Weiyang Academy.It should be said that they did not hide the truth from the people brought by the Lin family.I'm afraid only Zicuckoo and the rough envoys sent by the Jia family don't know about this courtyard.
Daiyu has a lot of complaints about her daily travels.As long as you think that this is because you are worried that she and Lan'er are not at home, don't raise your opinions.Lin Ze thought for a while, and felt that what Qingmei said was too reasonable. If Daiyu heard what she said, she would definitely react like this!
However, thinking of Mrs. Wang's relatives... Lin Ze yelled "ah", which startled Qingmei.As soon as he turned around, he saw Lin Ze's dumbfounded expression, which made people laugh.
Qingmei walked over and saw that Lin Ze was still in a daze, so she said, "Master, this is very good, why did you suddenly shout like that?"
Lin Ze patted himself on the head, and said in surprise, "I suddenly thought of something, that Mrs. Wang...ah, no, the second wife's relative is named Xue?"
Qingmei glanced at him strangely, and only said: "The relatives of their family, where is it our turn to inquire. We only live in our yard, and take care of other people's business?" She laughed again: "Uncle doesn't know what he's thinking, he's so startled that we're all too scared to do anything."
Lin Ze thought the same, he didn't even see the person who came there, how could Qingmei and the others know.Rubbing his chin, Lin Ze thought for a while before saying, "I think I should go for a walk when I'm full."
Qingmei glanced at him, and exposed him without buying it, "You haven't eaten yet, why are you full? Still don't want to eat? Then I won't serve the food." After saying that, she made a gesture to leave.
"Hehe..." With a sneer, Lin Ze said in a good manner: "I'm hungry, sister Qingmei quickly bring me food."
Qingmei smiled and brought the food over. Lin Zeyin was already hungry after staying in the academy for a day, smelling the delicious food, he ate very happily.After a while, I ate a bowl of rice clean.Still staring at a dish of West Lake vinegar fish on the table, he just touched his stomach, and he also knew that if he ate too much at night, he would suffer.
So, after Qingmei cleaned up the dishes, Lin Ze once again expressed his opinion that he wanted to go for a stroll to digest food.This time Qingmei didn't object, seeing that Lin Ze was about to go out, she didn't forget to hand him a cloak, and asked Bai Shao to quickly follow with a box in her arms.
Lin Ze glanced at Bai Shao in bewilderment, seeing the familiar box in her hand, he was puzzled first. "Bai Shao, do you know what you are hugging?"
Bai Shao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Uncle watched Qing Mei's sister tidy up, but he forgot?"
Lin Ze only smiled and said, "Didn't I forget too many things!" He looked at the box carefully, and thought of something in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, let's go first Go there, old lady."
Bai Shao followed Lin Ze and said with a smile: "Master, I'm so surprised, why did you call 'Lao Taijun' like us?"
When Lin Ze heard Bai Shao's question, he only smiled, but stopped talking.Seeing that Lin Ze didn't speak, Bai Shao didn't feel anything, just smiled and hugged the box tightly again.When she was about to leave the house, Sister Qingmei told her that the contents of this box had to be hugged, and she was going to save face for the girl later!
After a while, the two went to Jia Mu's upper room, and saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, and people were coming and going, which was very lively.Looks like I've had dinner.Bai Shao smiled and went to the front to say hello to a maid in front of the courtyard, and said: "Our uncle is late, but I don't know if the old lady is busy here?"
The servant girl smiled and said, "What are you talking about, sister?"
Saying that, when he was about to welcome Bai Shao in, he saw that the door curtain of the upper room was beaten, and a pretty maid walked out of it.Looks very well-groomed, fair complexion, only a few freckles on both sides of the nose, but it does not damage her complexion.I saw her walking down the steps with a smile on her face, she took Bai Shao's hand as soon as she got to Bai Shao, and said with a smile: "Listen, the old lady just said that she was looking forward to your uncle coming, who I think it’s my body that’s not feeling well again.”
Looking at Lin Ze again, he said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that Uncle Lin will laugh at me. I seem to have heard Bai Shao's voice when I was in the room, so I hurriedly ran out to watch. Take a look, isn't it!" Pulling Bai Shao, he smiled and said to Lin Ze: "Uncle Lin, don't let the girl next to you say such things again, it's hard for you to come to the room, why don't you go in and give the old lady a good time?"
Lin Ze smiled and asked her to go first, Yuanyang just smiled and said: "Which famous brand are we, dare to go in front?" Then he asked Bai Shao: "Is it true that your uncles are all walking behind you? Doesn’t that make sense?”
Lin Ze laughed at what she said, he had a good impression of Yuanyang.This girl has a good heart, she is friendly, she smiles when she sees people, and she is straight, she is of two different species from the Hua Xiren next to Jia Baoyu!Lin Ze smiled and went inside, but he stopped at the door and said to Yuanyang, "I'd better stop here, I'm afraid I'll bump into it when I go in."
Yuanyang covered her lips and said with a smile: "Only Uncle Lin has so many rules to say." Although he said so, he opened the curtain and went inside to report. After a while, he heard Jiamu's voice from inside, He said with a smile: "Please come in quickly, you don't have to be so particular about it!"
Lin Ze lowered his head and smiled, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
When the mandarin ducks were about to come out, Lin Ze saw a figure in red and green out of the corner of his eyes, and suddenly the corners of his eyes twitched, feeling that he had come at the wrong time.But it seems too late to run away now. Seeing the figure in the bright red clothes approaching gradually, Lin Ze twitched his eyes and saw that man's round face like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival showing an expression of anger and laughter.
"Cousin Lin, you're here!"
"Second cousin."
Yuanyang had already opened the curtain and came out. Seeing Jia Baoyu standing at the door, he smiled and said, "Second master is here too. It just so happens that a sister is here today. You can hold back your madness and don't take it too seriously." People were scared away."
Baoyu laughed and said, "Sister Yuanyang is laughing at me again." As he spoke, he still glanced at Lin Ze. Seeing Lin Ze's smile and gentle expression, he leaned over to pull Lin Ze's hand.
Although Lin Ze watched them talking with a smile, the peripheral vision in the corner of his eyes did not relax his vigilance, and he kept watching Jia Baoyu's movements.Seeing that his paws were restless, he immediately swayed two steps to the side very quickly, the kind that doesn't show any traces!
Yuanyang didn't notice the small movements between the two of them, just smiled and pulled Jia Baoyu's arm to go inside first.As he walked, he said, "Old lady, just look at who is here!"
When Jia's mother saw Baoyu, she had already laughed, and hurriedly asked Baoyu to come to her. She rubbed Baoyu's neck repeatedly with her hand, and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Auntie. My two jade children are the most mischievous. I can't stop worrying about them every day."
A middle-aged woman under the seat smiled and said: "The old lady is the best at taking care of people. It is also a blessing for their children to have an old lady take care of them."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang also smiled and said: "You are too self-effacing in what you said. I just look at Bao girl very well. She is sensible and well-behaved. You are lucky to have a child like Bao girl."
Aunt Xue just smiled and covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Sister, I didn't say what I said. It's really about looking at your girl and then at our children. It's really different."
Jia Mu just smiled, looked up to see Lin Ze coming, and said with a busy smile, "You just came back? I heard from the servant girl that you are not feeling well, are you feeling better now?"
Lin Ze laughed and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, old lady. I just had a headache when I came back at night. It'll be better after a short rest, and thinking that the old lady is thinking about it, I hurried over here."
Mother Jia pointed to Lin Ze and introduced it to Aunt Xue, "This is Yu'er's elder brother. He is very sensible at a young age."
Aunt Xue looked at it with a smile, but she was also surprised.She and Mrs. Wang often corresponded. In the letter, Mrs. Wang also mentioned the three children of the Lin family. She only said that the eldest son of the Lin family was adopted and could not stand on the stage, and the youngest son was naive and ignorant.The girl from the Lin family was even more frightening, she looked exactly like her sister-in-law who died young, and she pretended to be arrogant all day long.
Aunt Xue always comforted Mrs. Wang in her letters, and it was really embarrassing to think that there were only three children in such a family as the Lin family.Just looking at it now, the Lin family's son is actually a gentle and handsome young man, much better than her family's kid!
Before anyone could speak, Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I also sent someone to invite you at night, but the maid said you were busy and couldn't get away. I often say, you are still young, why should you be like this?" Busy, it’s not good to be exhausted in vain.”
What this said is that the elders ran back two or three times to invite you, but you reasoned that you had something to do and refused to come.I don't even think about the status of the elders. If you come here as a child, you will say that you have a headache, and you are lying.
Lin Ze sneered in his heart, but his face always had a gentle smile, he just said: "It's not my fault, it's just that I don't have a headache for a day or two." Then, he paused, and only smiled: "It's my fault. He said he would come earlier, who would have thought that he would be late because he wanted to find something."
Mrs. Wang had stopped talking for a long time, and her face was very ugly.This brat is obviously threatening her. Speaking of this headache, it can be seen that he is worried about what happened in the family school back then!Seeing Mother Jia looking over with warning eyes, Mrs. Wang looked down at the pattern on her lap.
At that time, she and the master both had a calm attitude. The master didn't want to reveal this disgraceful thing, but she was happy to see the little boy of the Lin family suffer.But for Mother Jia, even if they didn't come to tell, she naturally has her own way to know. The reason why she doesn't tell and pretends not to know is probably for the sake of the master.
Jia Baoyu was unaware of the stagnant atmosphere, and smiled in silence in the room: "Old lady, is this the new sister Bao?" He walked to Xue Baochai's side.
Xue Baochai also greeted Jia Baoyu with a smile.Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "There are no rules at all. Why don't you greet your elder sister Bao soon?" She said to Aunt Xue, "I, Baoyu, am the most mischievous. It will be better in the future, but Bao girl is sensible and courteous. Can hold him down!"
Daiyu sneered, Lin Ze just smiled and stretched out his hand to pat the back of her hand, then said with a soft smile, "Don't be annoyed, just watch a play."
Daiyu only said softly next to Lin Ze: "I'm not curious about it, they are chasing after me."
The two of them spoke softly and lowly, except for Cui Mama who was standing behind them heard it, but no one could really hear it.Looking at it, I can only feel that Daiyu and Lin Ze are leaning against each other, as if they are whispering, their expressions are very intimate.
Mrs. Wang first smiled and said, "It's just that the eldest girl has a good relationship with your brother."
Daiyu's expression turned cold, and when she was about to speak, Lin Zexian stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'm just making everyone laugh, because I'm not at home during the day, I'm afraid Yu'er didn't take good care of herself."
Jia Mu smiled and clapped her hands and said, "After all, you are the elder brother who loves her very much. I, Yu'er, am a lucky one." Then she looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "Don't talk as much as you can, please live here. Excuse me, let's get closer. Besides, you sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's rare to get together now, so it's good to see them often in one place."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and listened. When Mrs. Jia had finished speaking, Mrs. Wang was about to speak, when she heard a maid outside the house come in and say, "The master said that there are many things ahead, so I won't come here." In the Spring and Autumn Period, my nephew was young and didn't know the way of the world, and I was afraid that someone would happen to live outside. There is a courtyard near the garden in the south of our house, with five or six rooms, which are vacant and cleaned. Please ask your aunt and sisters to live there. good."
Although Aunt Xue is very happy to live together in the future, she can hold her son tighter, but if she lives elsewhere, she is afraid that he will indulge in sex and cause trouble.I just heard the maid say that there are only five or six rooms in a small courtyard, and it's a little tight for their family to go to Beijing, but it's hard to say anything else.
Mrs. Wang had seen Aunt Xue's expression clearly, and secretly resented that the old lady gave the Lixiang Courtyard with more than ten rooms in the northeast corner to the three of the Lin family, and now her relatives have nowhere to live when they come.I also thought about the courtyard on the south side next to the garden, no one lived there all the year round, and it was a damp, cold and sunny place, how could it be suitable for people to live in!
But Jia Mu said with a smile: "My aunt is laughing at me. Although our house is big, there are few houses with more than ten rooms in the yard. Even I, Yu'er, now only live with me in the bisha kitchen. " And he said with a smile: "Although the courtyard in the south is smaller, I have to forgive my aunt after all. If there are any remaining people who don't use it very much, the second wife should find another yard to live in. Although it is not convenient to move around, living in It’s also very cheap.”
Hearing what Jia Mu said, Aunt Xue had nothing else to say, so she hurriedly thanked her for agreeing.He smiled again and said: "It's our good fortune that the old lady is so worried about us. It's just that I have a word here, and the old lady, please don't joke. We live here as a family, and all daily expenses will be waived. That’s the way to go.”
Mrs. Wang knew that this was not difficult for his family, so she followed her wish, just smiled and said, "That's what you said." Then she took Baochai's hand and said with a smile, "I like Bao girl as soon as I see her, as long as you are in the future It’s good to come to my place often.”
Baochai also blushed and said with a smile, "Auntie is dear, I will go there often."
Jia Baoyu watched from the side, feeling that the newcomer Sister Bao was slightly muscular, and she was a different girl from Sister Lin who was weak and weak.Thinking about how many good girls are in my home, I feel very proud, and I thought: I would be willing to spend my whole life with these sisters and sisters.Unconsciously, he narrowed his eyes and felt a little sleepy.
As soon as Lin Ze came in, he didn't even give half of his eyes to the beauty of the Xue family, and seeing Daiyu's expression was calm, he knew that she was a little sleepy.Just as she was about to say goodbye, Xue Baochai walked towards Daiyu unwilling to be lonely.
"Sister Lin, this is the first time we've met, and I don't have anything else on me, so I'm just giving this to you, don't dislike it." Then, he took off an armband from his arm and handed it to her. Daiyu.
Daiyu just watched with a cold face and didn't speak.But Tanchun said from the side: "This bracelet is really delicate."
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "This armband was originally on our way to Beijing. When I saw the new item that was just released in the Jumbo House, Bao girl fell in love with it as soon as she saw it. Now I'm giving it to my sister. It also means being close." .”
When Mrs. Wang saw that Daiyu didn't answer or speak, she said, "Perhaps the eldest girl has seen so many good things that she doesn't like them."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she covered her lips and smiled, "I forgot, Miss Lin has seen it before. There is nothing so rare about such stupid things like us!"
Lin Lan, who had been drowsy on the chair for a long time, opened his eyes and saw a golden object in front of him. After a closer look, it turned out that it was a fat girl holding a golden bracelet in her palm.Looking at that posture, it seems that he is going to give it to his sister.
The chubby Lin Lan rubbed his eyes, pointed at the Jin Chuaner in Xue Baochai's hand and said childishly, "Sister, is this for you?"
Seeing Lin Lan's sleepy eyes, Baochai also smiled and said, "Yes, this bracelet is exquisite in style and delicate in pattern, it is very suitable for my daughter's family to wear."
Lin Lan ignored her, and continued to say: "But, sister, shouldn't we not be able to wear such golden objects?" As he spoke, he blinked his black eyes twice in confusion, "My wife's filial piety. It's not over yet."
Lin Ze held back his smile and coughed away, which seemed to be a bit sad for others.Daiyu caressed Lin Lan's hair with downcast eyes, and said in a warm voice, "Yes, we are children, how can we forget about filial piety."
In a word, it made Xue Baochai very boring.She had no choice but to take back the armlet in an embarrassing manner, and forced a smile: "I was reckless, sister, don't be angry with me."
Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Sister Xue is also kind, but I'm not blessed." Then, she only bowed to Jiamu, and said, "Grandmother, it's getting late. I'm always dozing off when I see Lan'er." .”
Jia Mu just nodded and smiled and said, "Very well, it's so late, you should go back and have a rest." Then she asked Yuanyang to take them out in person.
Lin Ze smiled and said at this moment:
