Heir of the Red Chamber

The two brothers, Lin Ya and Lin Chong, are both modest and gentlemen like jade outside, and they are highly praised by the great Confucians, and most people in the world think that Lin Chong's temperament is more lenient and gentle than his elder brother.

When they were at home, the servants were naturally more afraid of the ruthless uncle, and felt that the second master, who was always ignorant of vulgar things and easy to talk, was soft.

But at this moment, in the breezy pavilion by the pool, the stubbornness and coldness shown on the face of Lin Chong, who always had a gentle smile, made Daiyu feel silent.

After a while, when Daiyu was with Lin Ya or Lin Chong for the first time in so many years, she passed her elder brother and ordered the housekeeper: "I have a discussion with my second elder brother, and I will invite Uncle Zeng to see my sister-in-law directly, saying that I have neglected the distinguished guest. The brothers and sisters will plead guilty later."

The girl in cardamom age always speaks in such a soft voice, as gentle as the breeze blowing over the tip of the heart, but this command has a little bit of anger and distress that is not easy to detect.

Those who can stand out among the generations of Lin family's children are not fools. The housekeeper who led the people waiting outside the pavilion had already quietly stepped back a few steps when he heard that the second master's words were wrong. He ordered, without even raising his head, he just bowed his waist and saluted, and then led the people away in a hurry.

Daiyu pursed her lips, and waited until there was only one Yinger left in sight besides their brother and sister, then she stared at Lin Chong with a calm face and sighed.

When her deceased mother became ill, the young Daiyu wept day and night, her heart full of fear for the future. As a result, her father brought back two heirs at a time.

The mother also began to take a deep breath, telling her in every possible way that she must be respectful and affectionate to her brothers, never to fight in everything, and reminded her to remember that suffering is a blessing, saying that her brothers are her lifelong support.

In the first days, her mother's earnest words and the unfamiliar elder brother and second elder brother made her feel fearful. After that, it was the sincere care and love of her brothers that made her almost forget that there was no blood relationship between them.

In fact, Daiyu was closer to her second elder brother Lin Chong in her heart at first.It's not that elder brother Lin Ya is not good, but that she is about the same age as Lin Chong.Compared with Lin Ya, who has grown into a teenager and can take on the important responsibilities of the family and go out to deal with him, Lin Chong is Daiyu's best playmate and confidant.

Compared to her elder brother who was evaluated by her father as being sophisticated and tactful, Daiyu always believed that her second elder brother was a gentleman who was out of order.

Even though it was later discovered that the only elder brother who really regarded her father and her as a family, and the only relative in the eyes of the second elder brother was the elder brother, Daiyu still felt that it was not surprising that it was human nature, and it could not be said to be the defect of the second elder brother.

As a result, it wasn't until the eldest brother got married and left Beijing that Daiyu realized that in the mind of the second elder brother, matters involving the eldest brother had become an obsession.

This is not appropriate. My father and husband have both talked about the horror of obsession.

Daiyu was always quick-witted and eloquent, but now she was at a loss for words, she really didn't know how to speak.After all, the Zeng family's persuasion to Zeng Hui is a human relationship, and Lin Chong's protection of Lin Ya is also a family relationship.

Lin Chong suddenly said to Ying'er who was standing by with his head bowed: "The koi in the pond should reflect the Shoushan Stone over there. It should be interesting. You can lure them there with fish food, and you girls and I can just enjoy the scenery." .”

As he said that, he raised his finger and pointed to a place that was not far or near. He could neither hear the words of the brothers and sisters, but he could see the scene in the gazebo clearly at a glance.

Feeling the second master's gaze on her, Ying'er couldn't help but flinch.

I don't know what's going on, everyone said that the second master is kinder and more approachable than the uncle, but Ying'er still remembers the first time she met the second master after she followed the uncle's steward who stayed in Jinling to Yangzhou Linfu.

At that time, the master was still sick in bed, and the uncle, the second master, and the eldest girl took care of him day and night. She, the little girl who had just been bought from a kidnapper, seemed to be forgotten, and was handed over by the lady in charge. It was stuffed into a courtyard of rough envoy maids, and because the uncle personally ordered his valet Shousheng to buy it, he was ostracized.

The high-minded maids and their wives, sisters and sisters-in-law always like to say weird things around them.Fortunately, the rules of the Lin family are quite strict, and when the turmoil when the master fell ill passes away, such people will gradually stop coming.

One day, it was dark when she finished the work assigned by the aunt in charge, and the food in the servant's room had already been robbed. She was tired and hungry, full of grievances but did not dare to cry, so she could only move silently. Back to the small courtyard where I lived.

Then she was taken aback by the second master standing in the corridor outside the courtyard.

Thinking about the clothes on Second Master, Ying Er tremblingly was about to salute, when Second Master who had been standing in the shadows suddenly spoke, in such a dark corner, she felt in a trance that Second Master's voice was blurred with his face .

The second master asked her if she was the girl that the uncle bought back from Jinling, where she was now, and what kind of work she was doing. After asking, the second master paused for a moment, and said that the uncle is a person who does big things, and he can't take care of them these days. He will ask the steward to send her to serve in the uncle's yard in a few days.

This is a good thing that many people can't even hope for. Although Ying'er has no extra thoughts, she also knows how to do it.She was about to kneel down obediently to salute, but what Second Master said next was like pouring a basin of ice water on people's hearts.

The second master said, take good care of the uncle, if he dares to betray the master, he will definitely peel off her skin inch by inch.

When it comes to beating, every master will say it, even the ladies in charge will say it casually, but the second master's sentence is different.Ying'er knew in her heart that what the second master said was not just words.

It was clearly a calm and gentle tone, but that half-hidden face made a chill run down the spine.

Afterwards, when Ying'er thought she would be squeezed out even more by the older sisters in the uncle's yard, the uncle asked someone to send her to the eldest girl's yard.

The fear of the second master has been engraved in Ying'er's heart, but she still raised her head and looked at the eldest girl Daiyu.

She is the eldest girl's girl, and she can only leave if the eldest girl tells her to go.

Daiyu didn't understand Lin Chong's meaning, she turned slightly to Ying'er, smiled comfortingly at Ying'er, and said softly that she didn't need anyone to serve her at the moment, and told her to play with the fish.

Lin Chong quietly watched Daiyu's master and servant from the side.His demeanor and demeanor are all learned from Lin Ya, not to mention that when he is still, he is a scenery of his own, and he is handsome and handsome.

It's just that after Ying'er withdrew, the words he said were slightly sinister.

"I think my sister understands it in her heart. It's just that we are a family. We are close and distant. My sister must always think more about it. Don't make your loved ones hurt and enemies quick. You and I have different methods, but my sister should be like me, looking forward to Brother is good."

In Lin Chong's mind, Daiyu is a daughter's family, so it is inevitable that she will have the kindness of a woman, so it's good to make it clear.Anyway, what the master did to him was clear, the master didn't care, and Daiyu couldn't care less.

Daiyu's face turned pale, but her expression became more determined.

"The eldest sister-in-law is also a human being. I saw that the Zeng family also knew about the second brother's plan, so I was so anxious to get angry. In short, if I let the elder brother choose this matter, Yu'er thinks that the elder brother will definitely not be like this."
