The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

The small courtyard prepared by Jia's family for the brothers and sisters is called Qingyuan. It is located in the courtyard at the southwest corner of Rongguo Mansion. The servants don't often pass by, so it is very quiet. What's even better is that there is a small door leading to the outside of the mansion. There is a single small house from the door, it can be seen that a lot of thought has been spent on it.

Lin Chen occupied the outer room, and Daiyu lived in the main room inside. When the siblings settled down, Lin Chen saw that it was too late to see Daiyu, so he had to order Lan Xun to take care of her.

Seeing that Lin Chen was still worried after Lan Xun left, Gui Fu jokingly said, "During this journey, my uncle has never missed a moment of the girl, and Lan Xun is not like the one in this room, but like the girl's girl. "

Lin Chen sighed: "My sister is going out for the first time. She doesn't say anything, but she doesn't know how sad she is. I don't want to be with her all the time. Lan Xun is calm, and she has always been good, but You can also enlighten me a thing or two."

Gui Fu has been with Lin Chen for a few years, Lin Chen likes her straightforward temperament, and has already entrusted a whole house of maids to her, so he didn't care too much after hearing this, walked over to put down the burden of the mirror, and persuaded with a smile: " The girl has always had ideas, and the uncle always thinks of her thoroughly, even if he misses home, it is only for a while. It is getting late, should the uncle arrange it earlier or..."

Lin Chen pinched his brows, looked at the details of the preferences and taboos of the masters of the Jia family sent by Zhou Rui's family in his hand, did not answer, waved his hand, and Gui Fu quietly retreated with the maids.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Chen took his younger sister to the Rongqing Hall to greet Jia Mu. After sitting for a while, Lin Chen got up and apologized, saying that he was going to greet his husband.Jia Mu said with a smile: "You child, at least you have breakfast before you go."

Lin Chen said with a smile: "Back to my ancestors, my husband sent a letter yesterday, asking me to come over earlier today, so that I can have a test, so as not to be unfamiliar with my knowledge." Seeing this, Jia's mother had no choice but to let him go.

Mrs. Wang said strangely: "There is such a gentleman? This is too strict, and Mrs. Lin is willing?"

Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, giggled, and said, "Second aunt doesn't know, Mr. has always been like this to his elder brother, and he is not allowed to be sloppy in learning. My father also said that strict teachers make good students. If Mr. is not strict, he will not be strict. Don't worry."

Baoyu heard it interestingly, so he went to Daiyu's side and asked, "My dear sister, I only listen to what you say about Mr. Mr. Lin. What is the Mr. Lin cousin worshiped? Come and listen to us."

Daiyu was really embarrassed and couldn't answer the question.Mrs. Wang and her party laughed, pulled Baoyu away calmly, and said to Daiyu, "That's right. I was surprised yesterday, but I don't know how knowledgeable this gentleman is?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "When I was at home, my father and elder brother never told me about outside affairs. Even if I was lucky enough to worship Mr. as my teacher half a year ago, it was just for fun. After all, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and needlework is a serious thing. But Occasionally, I heard from my brother that Mr. Dao is a great celebrity. Mr. Zhuang Yuyou, uncles may have heard of it, but they don’t know.”

Mother Jia nodded slightly when she heard this, and held Daiyu in her arms with joy: "My son, what you said is very true. The daughter's family, reading and writing is just a game to relieve boredom. This needle girl, we are like this. It's just a joke to relieve boredom. It's the most troublesome thing to do. You're weak, so don't mess around." Then he said to Mrs. Wang: "Study is their man's business. This Mr. Zhuang was hired by Mrs. Lin, and he is knowledgeable. It must be not bad, we will be happy to see Lin Ge'er making progress, right?"

Seeing that Jia's mother was coaxed by Daiyu with a few words, Sister Feng even joked: "The ancestors are really lucky. First there is a grandson with jade, and then there are two more outstanding grandsons. They are the only ones who are allocated to the ancestors as grandchildren. I think, maybe one day the ancestors will forget that we are clumsy and can't speak, and only think about them!"

Everyone couldn't stop laughing, and Tanchun even pointed at Sister Feng and said with a smile: "Well, you second sister-in-law, you're just making up your own mind, and you've arranged for us instead! I don't agree!"

Jia Mu was even happier, and said to the mandarin ducks, "Bring my hairpins, the ones made of suet jade are for Yu'er, and the ones inlaid with red treasures belong to their sisters."

Yuanyang answered and went in. When she came out, she had a few more sandalwood boxes in her hands, and handed them to Daiyu's top one first, and Daiyu stood up to take them.They were given to Sanchun one by one, and finally there was one left in hand, and he threw it to Sister Feng, and said with a smile: "This is the most jealous and petty person, if you don't give it to her, she will definitely make trouble!"

Everyone knows that Yuanyang often plays with Sister Feng like this, just to make Jiamu happy.Sure enough, Mother Jia laughed. Although Daiyu was surprised, she couldn't say anything.

When breakfast is served, Li Wan is not there, and it is the second mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who serve Jiamu to eat.

When Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng left, Daiyu remembered what Lan Xun had muttered to herself half the night last night. Although she felt that her brother was too careful, she still bit the bullet and quietly tugged on the corner of Rajamu's clothes.

Mother Jia's elderly people love to see her grandchildren's charming appearance. Seeing her like this, she had to soften her voice and ask what's the matter.

Daiyu glanced at Sanchun who was sitting at the bottom and Baoyu who was laughing around the mandarin ducks. She was a little hard to say, and seeing Xiangwen quietly bowing to her on the ground with a begging face, she could only coyly say: "Old ancestor, I have a The thing is, I'm just afraid that my ancestors will be angry if I say it."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Tell me first, the old ancestor will definitely not be angry with my Yu'er."

Xiangwen recited Amitabha Buddha for herself in her heart, and finally she didn't have to worry about being dismissed by the uncle, but she didn't dare to delay in her hand, and handed it over with a box that had been in her sleeve for a long time.

Daiyu took it, stood up and handed it to Mother Jia, and said in a slightly amplified voice, "My elder brother and I came to my grandmother's house. We were relatives of our own family. We shouldn't have said such things. It's just that we brought these people here to eat. Clothes, chewing, and food are all subsidized by the family. In this way, we are causing trouble to my grandmother, and my brother and I are really sorry. It's just that we are young, and the family never talks about money, so I just pretend I paid 2 taels of silver notes, my ancestors don’t laugh at me for being stingy.”

Mother Jia hugged Daiyu into her arms, couldn't help rubbing her face, and said with a smile, "Why are you talking about this with my grandmother? I know it's just your filial piety for my wife. Your brother met yesterday. Also a good one."

After a pause, looking at the 2 taels of silver note in her hand, she couldn't hold back her smile: "It's just that 2 taels is too much. No wonder you children don't know, this 2 taels, even if It’s enough for our entire family to chew for half a year!"

Yuanyang also smiled when she came to pick up the box, and said to Jia Mu: "Old ancestor, don't say that Miss Lin doesn't know, even Baoyu doesn't know about it. The son asked, "How many eggs can a golden melon seed buy?" Woolen cloth."

Daiyu took Jia Mu's hand and said, "Old ancestor! You can't arrange me any more. I don't know. Do sisters and sisters know?"

Jia Mule said: "They know this well." Then she said to Baodai and Sanchun: "My good boy, we people don't pay attention to these vulgar things. Which young lady do you see open their mouths for gold and shut their mouths for money? That's it." It’s the style of merchants. It’s just that you need to know how much the price is, and read one or two ledgers. This is the skill of the director. If someone asks about it in the future, it’s enough to be like Yu’er today.” Everyone laughed again.

After Lin Chen left the Rongguo Mansion, he hurried to the Zhuang Mansion. Mr. Zhuang's house is a big mansion with five entrances, which is really nothing in the capital.But as soon as he entered, Lin Chen couldn't help but be speechless, his husband is really rich.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the small white marble bridge in front of him is actually carved and spliced ​​by two large pieces of natural white jade. Reflected in the water, it looks like a new moon forming...

Mr. Zhuang was waiting for him in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Lin Chen complained about the cold weather and Mr. Zhuang still made an appointment by the water. He really pretended to be thirteen. When he arrived, he realized that the Zhuang mansion had already set up a greenhouse so early... Lin Chen hated the rich for the first time...

I haven't seen him for half a year, and Mr. Zhuang is still the same as before, reclining on a beauty couch and holding a copy of the South China Classic. Don't really treat the Jia family as relatives." She completely lacked the elegant demeanor of an outsider...

Lin Chen sat on a couch next to him and complained, "Sir, don't you have a chair here? How uncomfortable it is to lie down all the time."

As soon as Mr. Zhuang raised his eyebrows, he began to scold people, from the Three Emperors to the Five Emperors, from Pangu opened the sky to the unpalatable breakfast, from Nuwa making a man to your mother's surname, and he also greeted Lin Ruhai who is far away in Yangzhou.Lin Chen sat on the chair that someone had just brought over, drank tea and ate snacks, and these snacks were better than the ones at Laozi's house!eat more!I starved to death without breakfast (I admit that this place is broken...)

Finally, Mr. Zhuang finished cursing, seeing Lin Chen actually eating, he hated iron for being weak and wanted to start scolding again.Lin Chen hurriedly said, "Sir, I came here today without breakfast, and I'm so hungry now!"

Mr. Zhuang was cursing and swearing that you were still hungry after eating half a plate of dim sum, which shows that you are a foodie, and at the same time asked someone to bring out the breakfast that had been prepared long ago.

After finishing the examination of Lin Chen's knowledge, Zhuang You was finally somewhat satisfied, but his face still had a look of disgust.Lin Chen has long been used to it, and instead pestered him to visit Zhuang's mansion... Zhuang You no longer had any expectations for how dead-faced his disciple was...

Lin Chen ate and drank at Zhuang's mansion until noon, and took another lunch before saying goodbye to Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Zhuang said with a stern face, "Get lost! I remember coming over in three days. I have some people here to introduce you!" Lin Chen agreed with a playful smile, and rolled away in a round and satisfied manner with a large food box of snacks and other good things from Mr. Zhuang...
