The Red House Returns the Pearl Lin's Home

"Monk, Hailancha asked me today how things are going with the Xue family." Lin Lu took a chopstick of stewed beef brisket with tomatoes and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing with relish, "He also said that Xue Pan made a mistake this time. What kind of crime, ask me if I need to report to the police."

Lin Daiyu went to Jiamu's place for lunch, and Lin Lu came back late after going out for a walk. She missed the maid who came to call for help, and she didn't want to go to Jiamu's room to have dinner with a group of female relatives, so she stayed in the inverted Baoxia Hall with Lin Lin. dine together.

Lin Lin doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, and has no hobby of collecting cultural relics and antiques. She is very boring in her personal life.

Lin Lu is on the contrary. He is a person who pays great attention to the quality of life. What he pursues is a fulfilling and interesting life. He despises Lin Lin's dull life like a sad single man in his seventies and eighties.

Lin Lu sometimes looked at Lin Lin and wondered, what's the point of a person who is so eager to be famous and superior to others who doesn't want to eat well, dress warmly, or spend money?

Lin Lin raised her eyes to look at him, and Lin Lu smiled and said, "Well, you must have heard it, this is the popularity of a certain calf protector, but he wants to sideline, and he's going to mess with Xue Pan."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a while. Seeing that Lin Lin continued to eat without paying attention, he had no choice but to put aside his tricks and said bluntly: "But I have already rejected Hai Lancha, and I have already avenged and vented my anger. It is really because of this It is too much for Xue Pan to go to hell, if they come to provoke me again in the future, then we can settle the score separately."

Lin Lin put down her chopsticks and said softly: "You did the right thing. He is guilty of me. He wants to use this to help me to ease the guilt in his heart. If I accept his favor this time, call him The guilt has faded, but the gain outweighs the loss.”

Lin Lu froze for a moment, raised her chopsticks and pointed at his forehead, thought for a while and said, "It's reasonable for you to say that, if you ask him to help you with such a trivial matter, you can wear away his guilt towards you little by little. It will be difficult to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan in the future."

Lin Lin's gaze turned extremely cold for a moment, and Lin Lu didn't seem to realize it, still grinning heartlessly: "Monk, we two wise people don't speak secretly, at least we grew up together when we were young. , you understand what I am, and I also understand your virtues."

He raised his head to meet Lin Lin's gaze, and his round black eyes were full of clarity: "Some people can live comfortably by guarding an acre of land; Insatiable—let's analyze it a little bit, according to the emperor's behavior, I'm afraid he doesn't intend to recognize you, after all, having an extra illegitimate child will hurt the face of the entire royal family."

Lin Lin slightly raised her long eyebrows like a distant mountain, but did not make a sound, quietly waiting for his next words.

Lin Lu chuckled, her red lips couldn't stop turning up: "With his guilt, what can it bring you? Now there is no prerequisite for a different surname to be a king when the Man Qing first entered the customs. Just a Baelor--and I don't think you're one to be content with a Baelor."

Hearing him spread out his words, Lin Lin rubbed her thumbs against the smooth and cool wall of the teacup, the coldness in her eyes faded, and she said with a straight face: "I have a few words to share with Hai Lancha Tell me, are you still meeting him this afternoon?"

"I just met this morning. There is no reason for us two big men to be together all day long. Besides, he is not a free man like you and me. He has to go to the palace to be on duty in the afternoon. There is no time." Lin Lu touched her bald forehead, thought for a while and said, "Why don't you write a letter and ask Hulao to send it to his house?"

Lin Lin nodded, immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, walked to the desk, and fetched a pen and paper.

Lin Daiyu saw the scenery outside in the morning, and became interested. She just wrote a poem "Linjiang Immortal".

"You should think about what to write first, Hailancha will definitely not be the only one who will read this letter." Lin Lu said, seeing Lin Lin's face turn dark and cold, she stuck out her tongue and said, "Aren't I worried about you?" I just said a nonsense, and I didn't mean to underestimate your IQ."

Lin Lin ignored him, wrote a few words, and said softly: "Yesterday when I was in Jiamu's room, I heard a noise on the roof. At least two people were leaning on the eaves to listen."

Naturally, Lin Lu knew who sent these two people without asking, and gossiped with great interest: "Then who has the higher force value between you and them?"

"Judging from their breaths, I can win with either one alone, but if the two join forces, the outcome will be hard to tell." Lin Lin put the mouse-tail pen back into the pen holder, not polite at all, "If If I don’t bring you this oil bottle, at least I can protect myself.”

Lin Lu didn't blush, and looked at him calmly: "Don't worry, I have always upheld the belief that I will never hold you back. Like countless times in the past, when I see you fighting with others, I will be the first!" Time to move to safety."

This man could speak so confidently of fleeing without morality, Lin Lin rolled her big eyes, and didn't bother to talk to him anymore. Seeing that the ink was drying, she folded the rice paper and put it in the envelope.

Lin Lu leaned over and saw that he signed "Lin Ziyu" on the envelope, she couldn't help curling her lips: "Sour, really sour."

Lin Lu, as a modern person who was born and bred, with good roots, has never been interested in things like characters, names, and aliases. She was a little surprised that Lin Lin was so polite all of a sudden.

"I don't have any friendship with Hailancha. I just met once yesterday because of your affection. Naturally, the proper etiquette should be followed." Lin Lin returned to the dining table, picked up the rice and chopsticks and continued to eat, and took the plate away Put the last quail egg in your bowl.

Lin Lu, a lover of quail eggs, touched her belly and found that she was only half full. She said angrily, "Put it down, you already robbed me of five today."

Quail eggs were a trivial matter, and Lin Lu was not so stingy, but he knew that Lin Lin hated egg products, and now he started eating quail eggs, obviously just to grab his rations.

Lin Lin ignored him, and just put the chopsticks into her mouth. Unexpectedly, Lin Lu rolled her eyes, stretched her head over, and snatched the quail eggs from his chopsticks.

Lin Lu was not in a hurry to taste the spoils either, and purposely slurred her teeth while biting the quail egg, "Monk, come on, how can a quail egg shake the relationship between the two of us when we are young and wear a pair of trousers? You share equally." He said and cast a wink at the past.

The cleanliness patient Lin Lin stared at him in silence for a long time before suppressing the churning in her stomach. She lowered her head to look at the glistening saliva on the tip of her chopsticks. With a twitch of her mouth, she threw the chopsticks to the ground and said through gritted teeth: " you win."

Lin Lu laughed loudly, and then swallowed the quail eggs, feeling that the taste was much better than usual.

Lin Daiyu saw such a scene when she came back from the meal at Jiamu's. Lin Lu smiled like a villain, and couldn't help thinking about it.

Well, we quarreled again.She was so familiar with this scene that Lin Daiyu understood what was going on with just one glance. She was helpless and had a headache, so she walked between the two of them and said with a smile, "Brother and Ziyu have eaten together, haven't you?" ?”

"I've eaten." Lin Lu patted her belly loudly through her clothes, with a proud face, "I just swallowed the last bite."

Lin Lin got up from her seat, pursed her thin lips lightly, ignored Lin Lu, and only said to Lin Daiyu, "I'm going out to practice martial arts."

"Don't, it's easy to get stomach sagging if you do strenuous exercise just after eating, you should rest before you go." Lin Lu hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull him, the monk was so rare, his face was so wonderful, he couldn't appreciate it enough.

Lin Daiyu sighed again and again, only feeling that there was a dark turmoil between these two people, and there was deep hostility between them.

Just as she was having a headache, Mu Lian came in and said, "Master and Master, Miss, I saw Second Mistress Lian coming from afar."

In the face of class enemies, all internal struggles can be sidelined. Lin Lu immediately put aside her previous suspicions and glanced at Lin Lin, then looked at Lin Daiyu questioningly: "What is she doing here at this hour?"

The latter thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid it's about the New Year's Eve. My grandmother mentioned something just now. I didn't expect Lian's second sister-in-law to be so caring, and now she's here to work."

The three of them didn't speak any more, and after a while, they heard Mulian's clear and loud voice coming through the door: "Second Grandma Lian is here—"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly said, "Please come in, sister-in-law." While talking, she went to the door to greet her.

Wang Xifeng was wearing a bright gold thread and a hundred butterflies, and a red satin jacket with flowers. Pingping curled up from far to near, seeing the three masters of the Lin family were there, she couldn't help laughing: "It's really a coincidence, it's rare to meet you Brothers are here."

Her eyes swept over Lin Lin, stopped for a while, then moved away, only looked at Lin Daiyu, took her hand, and joked: "My dear sister, let's go to the back room to talk about the matter of my daughter's house. Tell these stinky men to listen."

Lin Daiyu smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling: "Second sister-in-law Lian said exactly what I wanted, of course we can't let them listen to what our cousins ​​and cousins ​​say, but we don't need to avoid it, we should tell them to go out. "He couldn't stop laughing, and only looked at Lin Lu and Lin Lin.

Lin Daiyu didn't know why Wang Xifeng came here, but she had lost all affection for the Jia family at this time. Seeing that the attention of the second grandmother in charge seemed to be on Lin Lin instead of her, although she didn't know her What is the plan, the intuition is to let the two brothers out.

Lin Lu was fine with it, Lin Lin walked away without saying a word, Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stopped her: "Second cousin doesn't need it, it's okay, I'm just joking with sister Lin, how can I take it seriously?"

"Second sister-in-law doesn't know something. My younger brother is the most diligent and hardworking. Now it's time to practice boxing and martial arts. There is no delay." Lin Lu smiled with crooked eyebrows, looking completely harmless, "Second sister-in-law Don't worry about him, if you say something to a girl's family, you can tell it to my sister, if you want to say it to a big man, you can tell it to me, we brothers and sisters all want to get close to the second sister-in-law."

Before Wang Xifeng could answer, seeing that Lin Lin had gone out on her own, without even giving her a single look, she could only sigh secretly, pull herself together, and said with a smile: "It's nothing important, yesterday After such a commotion, the old lady felt sorry for her grandson and granddaughter, seeing that her cousin had a bad appetite during lunch, she thought, don’t get angry, and asked me to ask if I need to invite an imperial doctor to take a look.”

This was quite skillful. Lin Lu savored it carefully and thought it was very interesting. It was actually a bad debt yesterday. It is not clear who was wrong, but it was Xue Pan who was beaten, and Mother Jia It's fine not to comfort the suffering master and buy people's hearts, but to hold down their brothers and sisters and show their kindness.

It was the same just now. I heard that when the old lady had lunch today, she only called Lin Daiyu over and did not mention Xue Baochai.

What's more, Wang Xifeng's way of showing good intentions is also very obvious. It doesn't matter if you send any little maid to this kind of thing, but she, a housekeeper, ran over by herself.

Lin Lu let out a long sigh, then suddenly changed her face, and said with a sad face: "To tell you the truth, my sister-in-law, we brothers and sisters are really not very comfortable recently, but it's not that I'm angry, it's actually that the villain scared me."

"Are you scared?" Wang Xifeng turned to look at Lin Daiyu, and seeing that she was also a little confused, she said with a smile, "Cousin's fortune is more important than ordinary people, and he is a lucky person at first glance." , I don’t know which villain can scare Cousin Lin?”

"It's quite embarrassing, it's hard to say." Lin Lu sighed again with a bitter face, and her voice was extremely low, "After being scared, I went to a famous doctor to see it, but the doctor said that this The disease is so common that even doctors can't cure it, so I have to find another expert to help."

After a pause, he continued: "However, that famous doctor prescribed a medicine for me. It is very effective after I take it, but I don't know what the prescription is. I want to ask my second sister-in-law to help find someone to take a copy of the prescription." Give me."

Wang Xifeng was made hairy by his nagging, but he also understood the hints in his words, so he smiled nonchalantly: "That's a good relationship, cousin, why don't you give me the medicine, I'll find someone to inquire about it immediately Prescription to go."

Lin Daiyu had already understood what her brother was saying at this time, and received the secretive wink from her brother, she didn't call a maid, and went to the inner room by herself, and took a box of medicine from the drawer of the bedside table. come out.

As soon as Wang Xifeng saw the box, he felt very familiar. He hesitated to take it and opened it. When he saw the small black pills neatly arranged inside, his heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out: "This is not the ginseng that the old lady ordered someone to make for Cousin Lin." Yangrong pill?"

It has been less than half a month since the medicine was delivered to Lin Daiyu. Wang Xifeng looked at the arrangement of the pills in the box and found that Lin Daiyu had only taken a few pills.

"The old lady ordered someone to do it?" Lin Lu put away her smiling face, stared straight at the tip of Wang Xifeng's face, and said coldly, "I want to ask Lian's second sister-in-law, who did the old lady order?"

"Of course it is..." Wang Xifeng suddenly realized as soon as the words came out, and immediately shut up with a yellow face.

"The boy who dispenses the medicine in the house is too careless. He can make mistakes with white ginseng and red ginseng. The medicine that saves people hurts people, and he has to trouble the second sister-in-law to bring it to us. How can we brothers and sisters feel at ease?" Lin Lu grabbed the box with her hands, gently pinched a ginseng nourishing pill with two slender fingers, and touched the corners of her lips mockingly, "Second sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Wang Xifeng's heart turned cold, and she hastily argued: "Cousin Lin misunderstood, and I didn't know about it! Cousin Lin and I, even though we are not biological sisters, are not bad, and we have no grievances or enmities, why would I bother to kill you?" What about her?"

She was anxious and angry, this is really an innocent disaster, she came here to deliver a medicine, she originally planned to use tricks to almost bring the relationship between the two parties closer, who would have thought that she would be held in such a big scapegoat for nothing.

"I know it must not be the second sister-in-law's idea," Lin Lu pretended to laugh. If Wang Xifeng did it, she wouldn't be so stupid as to go into battle herself, "I just don't know who borrowed the second sister-in-law's hand?"

Lin Lu is now full of pride. The Jia family said that the interpersonal relationship is complicated and difficult to distinguish. In fact, there are really not many people. Besides, the pharmacy is not a place where cats and dogs can get involved. Except for those who are unable to do it, the rest There are only a few candidates, how many of these candidates have motives for committing crimes?

Sure enough, Wang Xifeng went through the candidates in his mind, and immediately locked on the suspect, his face became more and more ugly: "I'm afraid Cousin Lin has already figured it out?"

Lin Lu bowed her head and did not make a sound. Lin Daiyu poured a cup of hot tea for Wang Xifeng herself, and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, let's drink some tea first to warm my heart."

Drinking tea to warm the stomach, she insisted on warming the heart, Wang Xifeng took it over, put the rim of the cup to her lips, feeling quite uncomfortable, and said after a long while: "Then Cousin Lin means..."

"What can I mean?" Lin Lu pretended to be silly and asked, sat down on the stool by herself, grabbed the teapot and poured herself a cup, "Has the second sister-in-law Lian visited Brother Xue? Poor, really Miserable, the screams could be heard even here last night. It was a coincidence, at the beginning of noon yesterday, I heard that Miss Xue brought some bad tea to my sister, and I was shocked too .”

——No, you knew it at the beginning of noon. In the blink of an eye, Xue Pan was beaten for half of his life in the afternoon.

Wang Xifeng was silent for a while, drank half a cup of tea, and then took his leave.

Lin Lu took her younger sister and politely sent her out of the courtyard, looked at Wang Xifeng's back, and said with a smile, "I've heard people say that this young mistress of the first room, because she and the wife of the second room are from the royal family of Jinling, usually It's pretty close."

If Lin Lu dared to speak out today, she would not be afraid that Wang Xifeng would tell Mrs. Wang to startle the snake.

He has repeatedly deliberated in various aspects, Wang Xifeng didn't know about the matter of ginseng Yangrong pills, and he made people take advantage of it in a ignorant situation, with Wang Xifeng's character, he would definitely not let it go.

Furthermore, although Mrs. Wang just messed around in the pharmacy, she didn't necessarily know that her niece was so kind and dedicated to delivering the medicine. I'm afraid there will be a rift between the nephews.

Haha, the young master is on the move, one is worth two.Lin Lu came out of the Inverted Building Hall, raised her neck, faced the blue sky, laughed silently three times, and walked towards the west courtyard where Lin Lin practiced martial arts.
