The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

But only a few maidservants and the nannies of the brothers and sisters came in. Mother Jia was satisfied when she saw that although the maids slipping down below were dressed in plain clothes, they were all pretty and witty.

Lin Chen pointed to the four maidservants in moon-white clothes and said, "These are the four big maidservants beside me." Then he pointed to the other four maidservants in light blue clothes and said, "These are by my sister's side."

He laughed again and said, "These are the only ones around us who are passable. Each of us has six second-class ones. We don't dare to ask them to spoil the eyes of our ancestors, so we can just kowtow outside."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "You monkey! I look at a bunch of water onions underneath, and you're just passable."

He sighed to Xifeng again: "Back when your aunt was not married, she was surrounded by jewels, emeralds, emeralds, gold, and jades. This is the dignity of a rich family! It's not like the sisters around them now, there are only one or two with a straight head and a straight face. It's gone."

Daiyu laughed and said, "My ancestors didn't know. When we came over, my father and elder brother were only worried when they saw the crowd of people. I said that since I came to my grandmother's house, I could travel easily and easily, so that my ancestors would not see this It’s difficult for a lot of people. But my elder brother fired a few of his maids but not mine, I must have refused, and after a long time of trouble, he only agreed to fire my two second-class maids.”

Mother Jia stroked her face with her hand, and said with a smile, "My son, even those two should not be cut. You are used to it. It would be inconvenient to lose it all at once. I will pick four more maids here. I will send it to you, and you will treat it as if you are at your own home when you are at your grandmother's house, so you don't need to pay attention to these things."

Seeing that his sister was embarrassed, Lin Chen knew that she would not be able to say the next thing, so he winked, Lan Xun brought a box over, Lin Chen stood up and took it with his own hands, and put his hands in front of Jia Mu, saying: "When you come here Father personally prepared gifts for the ancestor and the two uncles, let the ancestor take a look, do you like it?"

The mandarin duck took it and opened it in front of everyone. It was a jade Buddha finely carved from mutton fat and white jade. Jia Mu's elderly people believed in this most, and they were overjoyed.

The people below brought up the gifts for others. The two wives of King Xing both had a set of ruby ​​headdresses and a piece of Sichuan brocade, while Sister Feng Li Wan's second-class one was just a set of emerald headdresses and a piece of palace satin.

Daiyu handed over the fashionable jade hairpins and rings prepared for Sanchun to the three of them.Just then said in a soft voice: "I prepared these, and I gave my father and elder brother a look. After all, it's a bit simple."

Lin Chen glanced at his sister with a smile, held a jade carving box in front of Jia Mu, and said affectionately, "My sister and I specially prepared this for our ancestors."

Mother Jia opened it with her hand, and she was slightly taken aback when she saw a piece of blood-red jade the size of a chicken inside.Sister Feng came up and shouted to see what kind of treasure Cousin Lin Baba had prepared, touched it lightly with her hand, and immediately said in surprise: "Oh, this piece of jade is actually hot!"

Mother Jia came back to her senses, closed the box and handed it to Yuanyang to put away carefully, and said to Sister Feng: "You are young, so you don't know. This is called warm jade. Touching it generates warmth, and it is very caring. Holding Lin Chen's hand, he said, "Good boy, it's hard for you to imagine."

Lin Chen said with a smile: "No matter how good this jade is, there must be someone who is worthy of using it, otherwise it will be buried in vain if it falls into the hands of such a rough man."

Sister Feng took the opportunity to flatter Jiamu in every possible way, which made Jiamu laugh again and again.After a while, the tea fruit was withdrawn, and Mother Jia asked two old mothers to take them to visit their uncle. Mrs. Xing stood up and smiled and said, "I took my niece and niece. It's cheap." Well, you can go too, you don’t have to come here.”

Mrs. Xing agreed with a word of "yes", then took the two of them to speak with Mrs. Wang, and everyone sent them to the front of the hall.

After leaving the Chuihua Gate, a group of young servants had already pulled a green and green cart.The three of them sat on it, and all the women put down the curtain of the car, and Fang ordered the boys to lift it up and pull it to a wide place. Then he drove on the tame mule, and also went out of the west corner gate, and went east through the main gate of Rongfu, and then entered a dark place. In the oil gate, go down to the front of the instrument gate.

As soon as he entered the main room, he was greeted by many concubines and maidservants in beautiful attire. Mrs. Xing let them sit down, and at the same time ordered someone to go outside to the study to invite Jia Amnesty.Lin Chen thought to himself that he was ten years old anyway, Mrs. Xing was just a serious aunt, why even Jia Amnesty's concubine Ji did not avoid being suspected, and greeted her carelessly here?

Since Jia Amnesty couldn't see him, Lin Chen and Daiyu stood and listened to his message, then sat down for a while, and Lin Chen said goodbye to Mrs. Xing.Mrs. Xing stayed with the two of them for dinner, and Lin Chen smiled and said, "Auntie loves the food, so she should not resign, but she still has to go to see the second uncle, I'm afraid it will be disrespectful to receive the gift, and I will take it again later. Why not. I hope my aunt will forgive me." (Stealing Sister Lin's words...) Mrs. Xing heard about it and said with a smile: "That's true."

The two went to see Jia Zheng together again, but they only saw Mrs. Wang, and Daiyu just followed her elder brother and didn't talk much. , Then he said that he was tired.

They turned around and returned to Jiamu's place. When Yuanyang saw the two coming, she ordered the meal to be served.Lin Chen looked at Sanchun hesitantly, and Mother Jia smiled and said, "You are an honest child, why should your relatives pay attention to these immodest manners! Why don't you sit down quickly." Lin Chen sat down after apologizing to Sanchun, Yingchun It's all right, Tanchun burst out laughing immediately.

During the banquet, Lin Chen observed secretly, and it was really as in the book, Mrs. Li held the rice, Xifeng placed the chopsticks, and Mrs. Wang served the soup.Mother Jia really has a strong taste, with so many servants who serve her, she wants to spoil her daughter-in-law (Is there really nothing wrong with this sentence?)...

After the silent meal, the servant girl brought tea, everyone rinsed their mouths, and served some new tea, this is the tea to eat, Daiyu frowned slightly, but seeing that her brother drank without any pressure, she had no choice but to drink it .

After tea, Mother Jia let Wang, Lifeng and the others go down, and only sat and talked with Lin Chen, Daiyu and Sanchun for fun.

Jia's mother asked Lin Chen what book he was studying now, but he had entered school.Lin Chen replied with a smile, "It's just that I've read four books, and I'm just trying to solve the problem and write an essay."

Jia's mother said: "My Baoyu is a few years younger than you, but his knowledge is also very good. Now his father also wants to let him go to school. I am worried that he will study at home alone without anyone to take care of him. It so happens that you are here."

Lin Chen smiled and didn't answer, Daiyu said with a smile: "My ancestors don't know something, this time my brother came to Beijing, one is afraid that I will be lonely, and the other is that my teacher has fate, so I have to follow..." As she said that, she laughed.

Lin Chen saw that Jia's mother was puzzled, and said with a smile: "I worshiped a gentleman as a teacher in Yangzhou before, and the husband also accepted my younger sister as a disciple. Not long ago, the husband also came to the capital, so my father asked me to stay in the capital. It’s just that Mr. is here, so it’s good to clear up the confusion; second, my family has a quota for the Imperial College, although it’s a bit early, it’s okay to go in now.”

Seeing that he was self-contained, Jia's mother didn't want to say anything, but she was somewhat curious that Lin Hai would take a good look, why her child needed someone else to teach her.

Just about to ask in detail, there was a commotion outside, and a maid came in and laughed, "Baoyu is here!"

A young gentleman walked in, and saw that he was wearing a purple gold crown with hair inlaid on his head, his eyebrows were tied with two dragons grabbing gold and his forehead was wiped, and he was wearing a two-color gold hundred. Wearing multicolored silk and knotted with long tassels, the outer cover is azurite flowered eight groups of Japanese forged fringe gowns, and there are small green satin powder-soled court boots.The face is like the moon of Mid-Autumn Festival, and the color is like the flowers of spring dawn.The temples are cut like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the face is like peach petals, and the eyes are like autumn waves.Although he is angry and sometimes smiles, he is angry and affectionate.On the neck is a gold Chi Yingluo, and there is a five-color silk sash tied with a piece of beautiful jade.

Daiyu didn't pay close attention to Lin Chen. When she saw Baoyu's bright red body, she felt displeased, so she just sat down with her head down.

Lin Chen got up to greet Baoyu, and Jia's mother said, "This is your cousin of the Lin family, and this is your sister."

When Baoyu came in, he saw two more handsome figures beside Jiamu. At this time, he greeted Lin Chen with a busy smile, calling him "cousin", and then came up to greet Daiyu. He smiled and said, "I've seen this sister before!"

Lin Chen: Nima, the degree of historical restoration......

Mother Jia: (*^__^*)

Daiyu: Brother, his eyes are so scary_

Jia's mother laughed from ear to ear: "You're talking nonsense again! How have you ever met him?" Lin Chen hurriedly interjected, "Perhaps Brother Bao thinks my sister has a nice face. I also think that Brother Bao has a nice face when I see Brother Bao today."

Jia Mu said with a smile: "Since that's the case, it's better, better."

Seeing Lin Chen looking at her with a half-smile, Baoyu was already insane. How could he care what he said, just thought how could this elder brother of the Lin family smile so beautifully?There is also sister Lin, who also looks like a fairy...

Lin Chen endured and endured, and finally endured the nausea evoked by Baoyu's sticky eyes, in order to prevent him from talking to his sister, he tried his best to smile and said, "I don't know what book Brother Bao is reading now? "

Baoyu was infatuated for a long time before answering: "It's all about reading the Book of Songs in your free time. Cousin Lin just came. We might as well go to my house to study together, so we can be companions."

Mother Jia took Baoyu into her arms and rubbed it for a while, then said with a smile, "It's cold today and you are weak. What are you doing there? Besides, your cousin Lin already has a master, so he studied with him."

Baoyu was very regretful when he heard it, but he didn't know what he thought of. He smiled at Lin Daiyu and said, "What's your sister's name, and is there a word?"

Daiyu was at a loss, she was only six years old, and even her brother hadn't picked up the characters, so why ask her about the characters?I had no choice but to reply: "The nickname is Daiyu, but there is no character."

Baoyu immediately became interested, and said enthusiastically: "I have two more words here, which are very suitable for my sister. It is said in "A General Examination of Ancient and Modern Characters" that 'sometimes the west is Dai, which can replace the ink of thrush'. My sister might as well... "

Lin Chen: Here it comes... Damn it, he really came... This classic scene... Damn it!I really can't bear it and don't need to bear it anymore! !

Daiyu: Brother, what does this person want to do?I am scared……

Mother Jia: [satisfied] [slightly nodding] These two children are really destined

Lin Chen took a deep breath, grinned (...) and said: "Brother Bao, this name is given by the elders on the day when men reach the crown and women reach the ji. My sister is only six years old now, so it's too early."

Baoyu suddenly said: "Indeed, indeed! I was abrupt, don't blame my sister!" While talking, she bowed to Daiyu, who was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.

Tanchun smiled and said, "Sister Lin, don't panic, he's used to it, always like this." Daiyu still stood up and saluted before sitting down again.

Seeing that it was getting late and Lin Chen was about to leave, Baoyu realized that these fairy-like elder brothers and sisters did not live with her, so she hurriedly rushed to Jia Mu to act coquettishly and shamelessly.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "My son, your cousin needs a quiet place to study. How can he live here? Even your cousin can't. There are more than ten people around her. How can I live here?"

Baoyu didn't believe it, so Lin Chen had to ask Lan Xun and the others to come in again, and even a few second-class maids were called in. Baoyu saw so many sisters and sisters, and all of them were extraordinary, so happy that they couldn't even speak up.

Jia Mu then said, "I've seen this man too, so you can believe it." Baoyu had no choice but to obey.Lin Chen hurriedly led Daiyu back out.
