The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

Seeing Daiyu, Lin Ji was obviously very happy, and shouted: "Sister." He probably thought of Jia Min's condition again, but the expression on his face suddenly became darker.

Daiyu beckoned to Lin Ji, called him to her side, frowned and said, "Why haven't you seen me for a few days and lost weight again?"

Lin Ji felt bitter in his heart, but said, "It's better to be thinner, so as not to be laughed at by brother-in-law all the time." As he grew older, Lin Ji no longer called Zhuang Yu "bad guy, robber", but this " In "Brother-in-law", there is actually not much respect. Zhuang Yu, Daiyu and others are well aware of this, and they don't care about it.In Zhuang Yu's words, having a difficult brother-in-law is also a good experience.Anyway, Lin Ji is not ignorant, this kind of indifference, just represents his intimacy with Zhuang Yu and Daiyu, and he will not be rude in front of others.

Thinking of Zhuang Yu, Daiyu's heart warmed slightly, but when she lowered her eyes, she saw that the black jade pendant Lin Ji was wearing with her was gone, she frowned, and said, "Where did your jade pendant go?" Lin Ji's life was stolen by Mr. Bai He came back, so he cherishes the jade pendant given by Mr. Bai very much, and never leaves him for a moment.

Lin Ji's eyes darkened, and he smiled slightly: "I am in good health now, but my younger brother is weak and needs the jade pendant more than I do, so I wear it for my younger brother."

Daiyu looked at Lin Ji's face. A ten-year-old child is not good at hiding his emotions. She could see his grievances and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It's not that Daiyu is ignorant of Jia Min's change in attitude towards Lin Ji, but Jia Min is her mother, and she can't persuade her, so she has to pay more attention to Lin Ji, and don't make him feel resentful because of grievances.

Lin Ji looked at Daiyu, hesitated for a while, and said: "Sister, my... mother is seriously ill, can I ask the master of the Imperial College for leave... I also want to be filial."

After hearing Lin Ji's words, Daiyu couldn't help but see Jia Min's pale face again, her eyes were red, she nodded and said, "It should be so, but I will treat my mother well. I have missed my homework." Although Sun Yuyi said that, Daiyu still had hope, looking forward to Jia Min's recovery.

Lin Ji nodded again and again, and finally secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that as long as Daiyu opened his mouth, no one in the Lin Mansion would be able to prevent him from serving Jia Min.

Yes, stop him from serving Jia Min.

When Jia Min just fell ill, Lin Ji wanted to ask for leave from the master of the Imperial College, and come back from school one hour earlier to accompany Jia Min. Before Jia Min was ill, he liked his filial piety the most. Jia Min felt relieved to read and practice calligraphy in time.

But this time it was different, after hearing Lin Ji's words, Jia Min not only didn't feel moved, but instead scolded him, and even sent a long follower to pick him up and go to school every day, and he was not allowed to be lazy.

At first, Lin Ji was moved by Jia Min's attention to him, and felt that even with Lin Yu, he was still the eldest son Jia Min valued the most, so he studied harder and didn't dare to relax for a while, for fear of disappointing Jia Min .

Until Li Nian, a classmate who was studying in the Imperial College together, kindly persuaded him: "Lin Ji, even if your aunt is not your own, she has been kind to you in nurturing you, so you can't act too cold, it will not benefit your future. "Li Nian and Lin Ji have a good friendship. Maybe it was because the other party was the younger brother of Prince Cheng Ke and the concubine, and they got close to each other with a different kind of flattery. But after getting along, they found that Lin Ji was not like a normal family. He is just as dandy and arrogant, and he will not do anything annoying by taking advantage of his sister's influence. He is a person who is easy to be liked.Therefore, after hearing such rumors, Li Nian reminded Lin Ji and persuaded him.

However, Lin Ji felt at a loss. After careful questioning, he realized that there were already rumors circulating in private that he didn't know about, saying that he didn't care much about his aunt, so even if his aunt was seriously ill, he could still devote himself to his studies. It's a bit cold to only focus on your own future.

To be honest, this is the first time that Lin Ji has faced the term "di mother". He has never met his biological mother, and Jia Min and Jia Min have always been like their own mother and child. , he seems to be just a "bastard" after all.If he was Jia Min's biological son, perhaps his behavior of being obsessed with studies would have been praised instead, but just because he is a bastard and not Jia Min's own son, the same behavior would be interpreted as indifference and indifference.

Lin Ji was brought up by Jia Min, and Jia Min also attached great importance to loving him, so the relationship between mother and son is still very deep.However, since Lin Yu was born, although Lin Ji's status has plummeted, it is not as good as before.

It's just that Lin Ji is not an ungrateful person, he is no longer an ignorant child now, and he naturally knows that he is not Jia Min's biological child.Although Lin Ji felt aggrieved in his heart, it was not enough to cause resentment and resentment.

However, knowing the spread of such rumors, Lin Ji suddenly felt that things might not be as simple as he imagined.Sure enough, when he observed carefully, he finally found something was wrong. In the eyes of Jia Min looking at him, the kindness and serenity before had gradually disappeared, replaced by suspicion and coldness.

Lin Ji felt scared, he was still just a child, he didn't know how this situation happened, and he couldn't remember how he offended Jia Min, but at least he knew clearly that he had to let him go first. Get rid of your "cool" reputation.Therefore, he insisted on asking for leave to serve Jia Min.However, when Jia Min was sober, he ordered him to go to and from school on time, and he must not slack off, and the person Jia Min sent to take Lin Ji to and from school was also very responsible.

The serving maids and nanny advised him not to disobey Jia Min's order, not to disappoint Jia Min's good intentions.

Lin Ji wanted to intercede with Jia Min, but Jia Min didn't have much time to wake up, and even if he woke up, he couldn't have a word with him.

To this day, Lin Ji begged Daiyu to speak, and now unless Jia Min woke up and persuaded Daiyu, the servants would no longer be able to use Jia Min's orders to suppress him.

Lin Yu, who was hugged by Madam Jiang, seemed to be dissatisfied with being ignored, and suddenly started howling, causing both Daiyu and Lin Ji to turn their heads to look at him.

The chubby little doll, weeping pitifully, could easily soften the heart.

Daiyu asked Mother Jiang to put Xiao Linyu into her arms. This time, she looked at Daiyu for a while, and she was not so unfamiliar. When Lin Yu sat in Daiyu's arms, she gradually stopped. Crying, eyes wide open, looking curiously at Daiyu to the left and Lin Ji to the right, and suddenly showed a toothless smile at Lin Ji, and stretched out his hand to hug her.

Lin Ji was stunned, completely at a loss.To be honest, Lin Ji rarely sees Lin Yu. Jia Min said to Lin Yu, "Hold him in your hand for fear of falling, and hold him in your mouth for fear of melting." want to move.

So, seeing Lin Yu's closeness to him suddenly, Lin Ji was surprised and a little happy in his heart.

Daiyu was naturally happy to see Lin Yu getting close to Lin Ji, and motioned for Lin Ji to sit on the chair beside her, and asked Danju to pick Lin Yu up and put him in Lin Ji's arms.

"No..." Mother Jiang said anxiously, but Daiyu glanced coldly at her, realizing her gaffe, she hurriedly backed away, not daring to speak, but kept her eyes on Lin Yu for a moment.

Lin Ji nervously hugged the little meat ball in his arms, for fear of accidentally letting him fall.

But Lin Yu couldn't appreciate Lin Ji's painstaking efforts at all. Sitting on Lin Ji's lap, he looked very excited, kicking his short legs, jumping and yelling.

Lin Ji became more and more nervous, and looked at Daiyu begging for help, not daring to relax for a moment.

When Daiyu saw her, even though she was worried about Jia Min and depressed, she couldn't help showing a smile.

Mother Jiang said anxiously from the side: "Concubine Shizi, Brother Yu..."

Daiyu looked back at her, and said, "You don't have to worry, Mammy, Yu'er is Ji'er and I's younger brother, so I will take good care of him."

While Daiyu was speaking, Danju was already protecting Lin Ji's side, and she stretched out her hand to support Lin Yu, making it impossible for him to fall.

"Your servant is innocent, please forgive me." Mother Jiang quickly calmed down and pleaded guilty to Daiyu with her hands tied.

Daiyu couldn't help but look at Mother Jiang several times.I always feel that this Mammy Jiang gives people a different feeling. It seems that it is not simple, but I can't see anything wrong with her. I just feel that she is a dedicated nanny who takes good care of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was in Lin Ji's arms, like a flea, restless for a moment, waving his lotus-like arms, looking very happy.

Looking at Lin Yu's innocent smile, Lin Ji couldn't help but clear away the haze accumulated in his heart these days. He hugged Lin Yu with a smile, and with the help of Danju, Lin Yu stood up on his lap.Lin Yu was so happy that he kicked his legs more and more.

Daiyu and the others didn't know the inside story, but Mother Jiang and the others who served Lin Yu were clear in their hearts. Because Jia Min overprotected Lin Yu, Lin Yu and Lin Ji hadn't gotten along many times at all. Familiar with Daiyu - at least every time Daiyu returns home, Jia Min always hugs Lin Yu, hoping to cultivate their sister-brother bond.

Their master is now a dignified Minister of the Household Department, and he will definitely enter the cabinet in the future. Lin Yu's future will definitely not be bad, but if he can have the help of a brother-in-law of the prince's son, why not do it?

However, Lin Yu's sudden familiarity with Lin Ji made them puzzled.

In fact, it's no wonder they can't figure it out, because the reason for this is very subtle.

Lin Ji's black jade pendant was tailor-made for him by Mr. Bai at the beginning, and it was mixed with Mr. Bai's spiritual power. It is different from ordinary black jade pendants, and it is most suitable for Lin Ji. After a long time, it has formed around the jade pendant. It created an aura that belonged exclusively to Lin Ji.As for Lin Yu, after Jia Min put the jade pendant on him, he ordered the people around him not to let the jade pendant leave him.If things go on like this, Lin Yu is immersed in Lin Ji's aura all day long, and influenced by this, he naturally becomes close to Lin Ji who has the same aura.
