The Red House Returns the Pearl Lin's Home

"Monk, have you heard?" Lin Lupu winked at Lin Lin mysteriously as soon as she entered the door, "The Xue family is about to flourish!"

Lin Lin's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, then put the teacup back on the tray, and glanced at Lin Lu indifferently: "Where did I hear this gossip again?"

"Where is the need for me to inquire specifically? All the women and maids in the whole family are talking about this. The eldest girl of the Xue family has passed the primary election and will participate in the secondary election in the palace after the next year." Lin Lu laughed, Then he said, "I asked Mrs. Xue to cry at the old lady for a few times about Xue Pan's beating, and then she stopped talking. She didn't say that she wanted to settle accounts with us. She was waiting here."

A few days ago, it was the day when Xue Baochai entered the palace to participate in the first test. At this juncture, people naturally couldn't spare the energy to argue with them. Moreover, if there was a real trouble, if any news leaked to the outside world, others would know that Xue Baochai still had such a thing. A virtuous elder brother is not such a good name for the talented woman selected.

Aunt Xue did have such concerns. Her son had already been beaten, and if her daughter's choice was really because of this, wouldn't she lose her wife and lose her army?Let's hold back for now, and when my daughter really enters Qingyun Road, it's okay to go back and settle the ledger.

"Where's my sister?" Lin Lu looked around, only a fake monk was pretending to be tasting tea in an empty house, and she didn't see Lin Daiyu's shadow, so she asked.

"Go out to enjoy the plum blossoms in the morning." Lin Lin moved the corner of her lips coldly, and said sarcastically, "But since you said that everyone in the whole family knows the news, I'm afraid they are in Jiamu's room now."

Lin Lu withdrew her hand reaching out to fetch the teapot, and frowned: "That's right, my sister should go with the three sisters of the Jia family to congratulate Xue Baochai, but can it be in Jia's mother's room? I heard that since that idiot Xue Pan was beaten As a result, Jia's mother's attitude towards Xue's family became cold, and Xue Baochai also used the name of taking care of Xue Pan, and spent most of her time honestly staying in Lixiangyuan, not going out to make fun of it."

"She was left out in the cold before, and she felt that her face was shameless. After passing the primary election this time, she has a huge face. Could it be that she didn't show it?" Lin Lin smiled mockingly at Lin Lu this time. It's that simple. I can't figure out everything.

Lin Lu rubbed her green scalp and coughed dryly: "I've been busy with the New Year's ceremony recently, and I'm so dizzy, and there are still a series of troublesome things waiting for me from the housekeeper, so I can't turn my mind around. "

"You can call Shanhai over to give orders first." Seeing that his eyes were really dark with blue shadows, Lin Lin narrowed his eyes slightly since he obviously hadn't had a good rest in the past few days.

"Can I have a piece of Hangu as a gift?" Lin Lu just finished speaking when she received a big roll of her eyes. Knowing that this was a silent expression of "thinking beautifully", she couldn't help sticking out her tongue out of boredom, "You are so stingy, you really are not a man"

Shanhai and Hangu, like Hulao, were both trained by Lin Lin and have been by his side since childhood. However, these two people have always been mysterious, and most of the time they are invisible. Lin Lu really doesn't know what they can do. clear.

He vaguely knew that Lin Lin could rely on these two people for the secrets and news of many wealthy families, and Lin Lu didn't intend to inquire deeply. He has always adhered to the most basic principle of cooperation with Lin Lin that respects each other's privacy.

Lin Lin didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and she had long since lost interest in chatting, so she chased people away: "You don't want to go to Jia Mu's place to see? Miss Xue is proud of her life, and there are those snobbish women around, I'm afraid my sister will be angry .”

Lin Lu slapped her head heavily: "It makes sense, but I can't do it anymore. I'll take a rest as soon as I get back, and my mind won't turn. You need to remind me of this kind of thing."

Lin Lin raised Haitang's thin lips and gave him a full smirk.Lin Lu turned around to leave in a hurry, she did not forget to spare some time in her busy schedule to return Lin Lin with a weird grimace.

He left in a hurry, Lin Lin looked at the closed door in silence for a while, then lowered her head as if nothing had happened, and flipped through a page of the military book in her hand.

Lin Lu followed Yuanyang into Jiamu's room, and at a glance, she knew that what Lin Lin said was true. Not only Jiamu's grandchildren were present in the room, but Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng were also there.

His eyes lightly swept over the two female family members who married into Jia's family from the Wang family, and the corners of his lips curled up playfully. The relationship between the two wives of Xing Wang is not good on weekdays. The one on the right side stood on both sides of Jia Mu. In the past, Wang Xifeng stood closely behind Mrs. Wang, but now she leans slightly towards Mrs. Xing.

Lin Lu sneered secretly in her heart, and when she glanced around, she saw Xue Baochai occupying Lin Daiyu's previous position, sitting next to Jia Mu's left hand on the kang, and on her right was the laughing Jia Baoyu.Lin Daiyulian and Sanchun sisters were sitting on the chairs placed below, looking as usual, talking and laughing with Xichun.

Seeing that her younger sister didn't look disappointed, Lin Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and winked at her calmly, with a happy smile on her face, and bowed her hands very politely: "I have seen my grandmother, my aunt, and my aunt. Aunt, Lian's second sister-in-law."

Mother Jia was originally talking to Aunt Xue, but now she turned to Aunt Xue with a full of love on her face: "You little monkey, where did you go to be stubborn again today? I sent a maid to call you at noon. You do it three times, but no one is there."

"Look at what grandma said, even if my grandson is the monkey Monkey King, going to the Heavenly Palace and overthrowing the throne of the Jade Emperor, it can't match the Wuzhi Mountain and the magic spell of your Tathagata Buddha Avalokitesvara. In the end, I will obediently come to greet you." Lin Lin Lu smiled mischievously, spread her hands, and shrugged her shoulders innocently.

Mother Jia was so teased that she couldn't help laughing, she raised a finger to point at him, turned her head to Aunt Xue and said with a smile: "I'm making my aunt laugh. I really don't know who I'm following as a grandson. Uncle Lin has always been the most gentle and courteous." However, my Min'er was also gentle and docile at home, but she gave birth to a son who is so clever and eccentric, so lovable."

As he spoke, he couldn't stop waving to call Lin Lu to his side, took his hand affectionately, and asked, "Did you bring a servant with you when you went out this time? You are a young master, how can you even be disciplined?" Not at all? Besides, it’s the Chinese New Year, and now there’s a lot of chaos outside, and there are all kinds of teachings and tricks, and one of them accidentally bumped into you, what should I do?”

This is very meaningful. Lin Lu doesn't like to be followed by a bunch of people when he does everything. When he was in Yangzhou's own house, he didn't have a personal servant. Now that he has traveled thousands of miles to the capital, he doesn't care Bring those people over.

Ever since Xue Pan was beaten, the Jia family probably saw that there was no news from the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and speculated that he might have contact with some high-ranking official outside. Six boys from Gang Zongjiao came over.

Lin Lu naturally knew what the real purpose of these people was, so she accepted them all politely, and asked Hulao to find another small yard outside the mansion, and stuffed these eyes and ears into the yard. They are not allowed to run around at will, and occasionally let them out for a walk.

Hulao reported to him that Jia's family had asked some humble servants to inquire about the situation several times, but each time they returned without success. I am afraid that Jia's mother was a little anxious this time, so she would say it outright.

When Lin Lu thought about it, she understood quite well. No wonder the old lady was in a hurry to get angry. Now that Xue Baochai has passed the primary election, although it is only the first hurdle to enter the palace, she still has hope of meeting Longyan after all. Her own qualifications are really one in a million, and she has the best looks, maybe she will have a chance to stand out in the future.

However, Xue Baochai's family background is low, a businessman's Han girl has a limited future. If she is favored, she will not pose too much threat to Yuan Chun, who is a noble concubine. Besides, the two are also related, so it can be regarded as Jia Yuanchun's intrigue. A nice boost in the harem.

Xue Baochai's re-election is imminent, and the Lin family and the Xue family have already fallen out. Now is the time for the Jia family to really choose their position after watching the school exams.

Lin Lu's heart became clear, so she giggled: "It's not that my grandson said, that screwdriver is really annoying, and it's inconvenient for them to follow me."

"Where is it inconvenient? There are five or six people behind him serving at any time, knowing the cold and hot to serve, this is the style of everyone's young master." Jia Mu still held his hand, with a serious expression on her face, " Even though the capital city is under the foot of the emperor, it is also very chaotic, you can ask people to follow, so that grandma can rest assured. Otherwise, you are a child who is half a year old and run outside without home every day, and grandma and your two uncles are also worried about it."

This old lady spoke better than she sang. Lin Lu stuck out her tongue and said with a bitter face: "Grandmother doesn't know, they have to take care of what I do, and they don't let me drink cold tea, and don't let me Betting on cockfights, and even drinking with an actor, I will be talked about all the time, it’s as if I’m the boy who is under the control of others, and they have become men!”

Drinking tea and playing cockfights?Mother Jia thought over what Lin Lu said just now, and the contempt and contempt in her eyes showed a little bit, which was immediately covered up, and said with a smile: "I think you are too comfortable, you should find someone to take care of it. .”

Now that she had already figured out what Lin Lu was doing when she ran to the street every day, she stopped talking about letting the boy follow her. She told Lin Lu a few words, and still joked with Aunt Xue.

Lin Lu was ignored for a while, so she raised her eyes to look at Jia Baoyu, and saw that he was congratulating Xue Baochai in a decent manner, so she joked, "Look at my second cousin, it's obviously Miss Xue who passed the primary election, I think The second cousin is as happy as my own sister is blessed to see Longyan."

However, it can also be seen that Jia Baoyu has not thought carefully about Xue Baochai at least now, otherwise he would not be so ignorant. Lin Lu looked at his expression carefully and found that Jia Baoyu was concerned about his sister Bao who was going to enter the palace to be the emperor Laozi. The little wife has no psychological pressure at all.

Jia Baoyu smiled at him and said, "It's something to be happy about. My relationship with Sister Bao is no worse than that of my own siblings."

After a pause, a touch of sadness appeared for no reason on the ruddy face like the flowers of spring dawn, and sighed: "It's just that Sister Bao left, just like a big sister, and I'm afraid it won't be common in the future. Many people will always be lively and happily together forever, and they are all together, so there is no need to break up."

Xue Baochai had been silent before, and from just now she had blushed and lowered her head and kept silent. Now after hearing Jia Baoyu's words, she raised her head slightly and gave him an angry look: "Brother Bao, what did you say? Being with so many people forever, what will it be like..." After speaking, she felt a little slip of the tongue, suppressed the agitation in her heart, and kept silent, Fu Rong's face became more and more shy.

Tanchun saw that she was a little bit embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "No, in the affairs of the world, we get together and then we break up. It's a normal thing. There's nothing to be sad about. Besides, it's a happy event for Sister Bao. I'm happy to be scattered, what does Sister Lin think?"

Lin Daiyu didn't speak, she bit her red lips lightly with white teeth, just smiled when she looked at Tanchun, it was rare for Jia Baoyu to see her so delicate and pretty, her eyes were straightened, and she felt infatuated.

Tanchun didn't notice his gaffe, but wondered: "Could it be that I'm wrong, it makes you so happy?"

"Tell me, it's true that we are happy when we get together, and sad when we part, but it also depends on the reason for the reunion and the reason for separation." Lin Daiyu covered her face with a handkerchief, her shoulders moved slightly, and she said with a smile, "I look at the third sister. Just saying that Sister Xue is happy to leave, and you will be leaving the house in the future, so why should we raise a glass to celebrate?"

Tan Chun was slightly taken aback, realizing what she meant, Hong Xiafei's face was so ashamed that she didn't know what to do, she stomped her feet for a long time, and said to Lin Lu: "Sister Lin bullies me like this, Cousin Lin doesn't care No matter what, if she opens her mouth, no one will forgive her!"

It was just a joke of the younger generation, but before Lin Lu could open her mouth, Madam Wang suddenly said: "Baoyu, if you talk nonsense again, be careful to let the master hear it, and it will be another meal. Today is Bao girl's big happy event, what are you talking about?" If you get together or break up, you can't say a happy word!"

Damn it, when your own son just finished speaking, you didn't see you speak, but my sister said something, and you came out with such nonsense, and you didn't do it smartly by pointing fingers and scolding Huai.

Lin Lu's eyes turned cold, and then returned to normal, still smiling and said: "Second Aunt's words are wrong, Miss Xue has such a great fortune, even Second Uncle is also happy, when the interest is high, how can you be because of Second Cousin loses his temper when he makes a joke?"

After a pause, he folded his hands and sighed purely, "Actually, if you tell me, the second uncle has a good temper, is as humble as a jade, and has the style of a gentleman. Don't say anything else, let's just talk about my brother's stubbornness last time." Fortunately, the second uncle is magnanimous and doesn't care about us brothers."

For a person who lacks sleep, it is very normal to have a bad temper. Lin Lu has been troubled by buying new year's goods for several days in a row. Not even the slightest bit polite.

Sure enough, when these words came out, they were extremely lethal.Hearing that he deliberately mentioned that Xue Pan was beaten, but Jia Zheng let Lin Lin's matter lightly go, the back of Mrs. Wang's hand clutching the Buddhist beads on her wrist burst out with veins, and Xue Baochai's hibiscus face also turned pale.

Aunt Xue was deliberately laughing with Jiamu, so as to show the Lin family that she is not what she used to be now, even the old lady was very polite. After hearing this, her smile froze, and her lips trembled for a long time with anger, before she forced herself to move. On the face, he finished the half of his flattering mother Jia.

Aunt Xue hated her half to death, Pan'er, her lifeblood, was beaten, and now she is still lying on the bed, her whole body has been sliced ​​off three times, and she is extremely emaciated.When Bisheng Xue Pan was in a daze, he was still chanting the name of that evil seed of the Lin family that came out of nowhere.

Aunt Xue was angry at him for being so unpromising, and she was full of heartache. Her husband left early and left behind such a pair of children. The baby in her heart is Gada.

At first, Xue Pan fell in love with Xiangling and committed a catastrophe because of it. He directly ordered the servants to beat Feng Yuan to death. He was simply the young master of a small family in Jinling, and the Xue family had a few reliable ones. The relatives also covered it up, but they still had to take refuge with the whole family in Kyoto.

This time Xue Pan took a fancy to who was wrong, seeing that boy from the Lin family had his head up, and Aunt Xue couldn't bear to see her son's pitiful appearance of thinking about it day and night, but she couldn't help it, and she was also anxious day and night.

The Lin family is not a poor family, Lin Lu has a dark heart, Lin Lin is cruel, Lin Daiyu has a sharp mouth and Jia Mu loves Dafa to protect her body, they are not easy to provoke, Aunt Xue finally thought about it, and she blamed Lin Ruhai .

It's not good to accept someone as a foster son, you have to accept such a cursed seed, otherwise Lin Lin is still an unremarkable monk in the monastery, Xue Pan only needs a little money to get it, the difficulty is much less than it is now.

Lin Lu didn't care whether these people were good-looking or ugly, and ignored their expressions, she turned her head and smiled at Wang Xifeng: "By the way, I have something to thank Lian's second sister-in-law, who sent it to Daiyu. New medicine, very effective."

Wang Xifeng was also shocked by Lin Lu's ability to turn his face and deny people. The serious second aunt scolded her whenever she said she would scold her without showing any sympathy. Hearing what he said at this time, she naturally knew that it was the newly made ginseng Yangrong pill. Yin laughed and said, "Look at what my cousin said, so polite, is it worth mentioning something as big as a mung bean?"

Afraid that Mother Jia would ask what the medicine was, Wang Xifeng twitched her mouth and changed the subject: "Old Ancestor, you were talking about your grandson not coming, it seems that only this grandson is relative, and all the juniors in the room are You picked her up on the street, now that your grandson is here, why are you speechless?"

"No, you blamed me when I didn't come, and you left me alone when I came. If I had known that my grandson would never come, it would make my ancestors worry about it, and it would be better than being regarded as a barn wind now." Lin Lu was extremely Cooperating, he was so wronged that his nose and mouth were wrinkled into a ball, and he blinked pitifully at Jiamu.

"Look, look, these two people have two mouths, I am speechless, so smart, no wonder I favor them." Jia Mu still complained to Aunt Xue with a smile, Fang said, "I am alone. What can the old woman do, but she is worried about you running around outside alone, I'm afraid it's not safe."

She still didn't give up on the fact that the servant she had placed didn't come in handy, she mentioned it briefly, and seeing that Lin Lu was not moved at all, she could only continue to say: "Your second uncle has something to say, he wanted to meet you face to face Said, it's just that the yamen is busy with business, and your uncle can't get away for a moment, so he asked me to tell you."

Lin Lu secretly laughed, there was a total of five rank officials, officials as big as sesame and mung bean, famous idle jobs, which could be bought with money, and the yamen was so busy that Jia Zheng didn't even have time to chat with him?Pull it down, Jia Zheng's immediate boss still has time to play silly tricks with his brother-in-law and private visits in micro-services.

He knew well that Jia's mother deliberately pulled Jia Zheng out to suppress him, so he didn't point it out, so he put on a serious smile and said, "Since it's the second uncle's teaching, you should listen carefully."

Mother Jia was quite satisfied with his reaction, she nodded and said: "Your second uncle looks at your brothers and has nothing to worry about on weekdays. It just so happens that the family is busy with the concubine Xiande's concubine, and Baoyu has nothing to do recently. You are under the control of others, so I want to ask you to be companions, and go to home to study together. First, it is also to avoid neglect of studies; second, you two brothers can also have a care."

Lin Lu smiled and her cheerful face froze. He didn't think that he had entered the family school of Jia's family. In the eyes of outsiders, the Lin family and Jia's family were one step closer. He has one head and two big ones.

Lin Lu felt her heart beating violently, her heart was trembling, and she calmed down and said, "The Rongguo family has a rigorous style of study, and the students trained are all very promising. There is no one in the capital who doesn't know about it. If you are lucky enough to enter inside to listen to the teachings, it is also a blessing for the grandson, but it is a pity that the grandmother and the second uncle are so compassionate, and the grandson can only appreciate it."

He purposely stopped to catch his breath, and without waiting for Mother Jia to ask, he continued, "My grandson has something to tell you. It's the New Year's Eve now, and the Lin family's ancestral house on Qipan Street has already been repaired, and my grandson is thinking about it." Say goodbye to grandma and move to live in your own house. I can't trouble you anymore after bothering you for so long."

Mother Jia didn't expect him to bring up this question so suddenly, she froze for a moment and frowned and said, "Since you said that it's the New Year's Day, you shouldn't be leaving. The New Year's Eve is full of excitement, and it's time for the whole family to celebrate. Let the two of you, brothers and sisters, go outside alone and coldly, not to mention others, just me, an old woman, will not be without a lot of concern!"

"Grandmother's kindness for our brothers and sisters, we are also grateful, but Rongguo Mansion is good, it is also my mother's family, my grandson is not young, the decent head of the Lin family should be the head of the family, and the lintel is glorious, so I don't have to blindly live with my grandfather's uncle I’m at home, so I’ll stick to the reason not to leave.” Lin Lu was unmoved at all, letting him go to school from [-] to [-] to study and memorize "Zi Yue", it would be more satisfying to kill him with a stick.

Jia Mu's complexion sank, she was still waiting to stop her, when suddenly the door curtain rang, and Jia Lianqing rushed in with a pale face.

Mother Jia saw that his expression was very strange, and he was sweating profusely in such weather, so she broke into the inner room without even asking the maid to inform her, so she put the Lin family's affairs aside for the time being, and asked, "What's the matter, you're so anxious?" ?”

Jia Lian looked at the people in the room, but remained silent for a while.Mother Jia understood and asked Li Wan to leave with all the girls, Lin Lu took Lin Daiyu's hand to leave, and Aunt Xue also took Xue Baochai away with interest.

Jia Lian waited for these juniors to step down before stamping their feet: "Old lady, something is wrong, the second master... the second master asked the emperor to beat him up!"
