Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

After Jia Min directed the maids to pack up the things Jia Mu sent, she found a secluded corner and asked Lai Da, the butler of Jia's house who brought the things over this time.

"Mother is in good health. How are the eldest brother and second brother recently? Did Baoyu go to school? Last time mother wrote to say that Yuanchun would be sent to the palace. How is it now?" It takes at least a month for the trip, the information flow is very inconvenient, and Lin Ruhai never tells her about these things, so Jia Min doesn't know much about the situation of her natal family, but judging from what her mother said in letters over the years Look, she can vaguely feel that the Duke's Mansion is not as old as her father's.

This can be seen from the last time Mother Jia wrote a letter saying that Yuan Chun was going to be sent to the palace. How could the glory of a family rest on a woman.

If the father is still there, it is impossible to allow the mother to do this. How can it be easy to stay in the palace? I am afraid that all kinds of conspiracies and calculations are not inferior to the officialdom. If a girl from a good family enters, it is okay if she can become a concubine , if it doesn't work out, wouldn't it be a lifetime delay, and when they are released in their 20s, how can there be a rich family willing to marry.

Besides, even if you can become a concubine, it is already over half a hundred years old, and the princes below have all grown up. Even if Yuanchun is lucky enough to give birth to a prince, there is no room for competition at all. In the future, it will be nothing more than an idle clan, so let's put it better, if Yuan Chun has no children, or only one princess, and the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, Yuan Chun may not end well.

But it's really hard for her a married daughter to say these things, and even if she said it, who would listen to her? The mother made it clear that she wanted Yuan Chun to gain wealth and glory for the Jia family. My second elder brother and second sister-in-law are also happy to see the success.His biological parents don't care about this kind of thing, so what can she do as an aunt, she can only watch Yuan Chun jump into that fire pit helplessly.

"Miss, don't worry, the old lady has always been in good health. Let's just say that the things that the old lady sent to the eldest girl were all picked by the old lady herself. I am afraid that something is not to the liking of the eldest lady. When I came, the old lady still chanted He said that the eldest girl had weak bones when she was young, and told me to tell the eldest girl to take good care of her body when she saw her. She also said that since Sister Yu was born, she, her grandmother, has never seen her. I don’t know when she will be able to See, I would like to ask when you can go to Beijing to visit your relatives." Lai Da bowed and replied humbly.

"When I was still in the mansion in the past, my mother loved me the most. I didn't expect my mother to miss me so much now. Every time I go to New Years and holidays, I can only send some gifts. Very unfilial." Jia Min listened, tears fell involuntarily because of Jia's mother's care and love when Siji was still in her boudoir.

But after all, Jia Min is no longer the lady in the middle of the boudoir who was spoiled and protected by Jia's mother. She didn't need to be persuaded. After shedding two tears, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she quickly took it back.

Jia Min knew that Da Lai's family had a lot of face in the Rongguo Mansion. His mother Lai Nanny used to be Mrs. Shi's wet nurse, and he himself was the steadfast butler of Jia's mansion. I came here specially to give myself something, which is enough to show the love of my mother.

With a plan in mind, Jia Min asked a few more questions, and went to arrange accommodation for the servants who brought things over from Lai Dahe. After everything was settled, he called Madam Shi over again, and the two discussed carefully. After a while, Jia Min wrote a letter to Jia Mu himself, and handed it to Lai Da the next day, asking him to hand it to Jia Mu when he went back.

This day, just as Lin Xuan finished the homework assigned by Lin Ruhai, when he came out of the study, he saw a young man who was waiting outside hurried over, saying that it was Young Master Li who was here and was waiting for him in the garden.

Regardless of reprimanding the boy for not reporting earlier, Lin Xuan hurriedly walked into the garden. Li Yan has been here for some time. If he really keeps him waiting for a long time, he might do something shocking due to his personality. move it.

When Lin Xuan hurried to the pavilion, he saw Li Yanzheng leisurely leaning on the pillar, feeding the fish in the lake with great interest.

Li Yan is Lin Xuan's cousin, the grandson of Mrs. Lin's natal brother, and is only five years older than Lin Xuan. Since the two met on Mrs. Lin's birthday last time, they both felt that they hit each other well, and they began to often Coming and going, of course, this coming and going refers to Li Yan, Lin Xuan does not have the right to leave the house yet.

Seeing Lin Xuan approaching at this time, Li Yan raised his eyebrows, lifted his robe and sat on the stone bench, lazily propped his face and looked at Lin Xuan mournfully, complaining full of complaints as soon as he opened his mouth: "Xiao Xuanxuan, you Why are you so slow, I have been waiting for you here for a long time, this kind of hospitality is not what your children should do."

Hearing Li Yan's address, the corners of Lin Xuan's mouth twitched immediately. Sure enough, he knew it would happen, but he was also trained by Li Yan, and he could keep his face on the title Xiao Xuanxuan in his mouth.

He walked to the stone bench next to Li Yan and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, ignored Li Yan's sad eyes, and began to fight back mercilessly: "You asked for it if you wait longer, Who told you not to send someone to notify me, you have to wait for me to finish my homework before coming, don't you deserve it?"

"Xiao Xuanxuan, how could you misunderstand my painstaking efforts so much? Aren't I afraid of delaying your homework? You don't appreciate his kindness at all?" Li Yan put his hands on his chest and looked at it sadly. Looking at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's scalp was numb by Li Yan, he quickly turned his eyes away, wanting to be out of sight and out of mind, but to Li Yan, he really didn't know what to say, he looked very stable and mature in front of others A child, why is he so out of tune in private, every time he sees it, he can't help but want to beat him up.

Seeing that Lin Xuan was looking into the distance, completely ignoring what he meant, Li Yan suddenly felt bored, and he put on a bitter face, lay down on the table, and said sullenly: "Xiao Xuanxuan, I'm sorry about your missed appointment last time." I haven't blamed you yet, how can you treat me like this now, do you still have a conscience?"

Seeing Li Yan make such an aggrieved look, Lin Xuan felt his heart was broken, and once again regretted why he didn't see the essence of this guy clearly at the beginning, thinking that he would be a bosom friend, it was a moment of carelessness , Regret for life.

"Okay, Li Yan, don't act like this anymore, I feel chills all over my body when I saw it, besides, do you think I want to break the appointment? How much effort did I make you agree to this matter? , let’s not say it’s not achieved now, there are so many more troubles, really, eh.” Lin Xuan sighed, if he had known that it would cause such a violent reaction from Lin Ruhai and Mrs. Lin, he would not have killed him. I did, but it's no use regretting it now.

"That's true, to be honest, I don't know how happy I was when I didn't wait for you last time. The risk of taking you out is too great. If it weren't for being pushed by you that time, I would never I will agree." Hearing what Lin Xuan said, Li Yan suddenly became energetic. He was really lucky about the incident last time. Fortunately, Lin Xuan did not come. If he did come, he would not It's not good to take him out, but if you really take him out, if someone finds out, let his father know, and give him a hard time.

In fact, logically speaking, it should be considered a good thing that Li Yan didn't mind him breaking the appointment, but for some reason, seeing Li Yan's happy face, Lin Xuan felt his teeth itch, and he felt unhappy.

Although Li Yan often likes to play tricks on Lin Xuan, he also knows that he can't really provoke Lin Xuan, this guy is a master who will report his flaws.Therefore, noticing that Lin Xuan's eyes were about to get angry when he saw him, he quickly straightened his posture, put away his happy look, and became serious.

"Cousin, in fact, my cousin didn't let you go out for your own good. I was afraid that you might encounter some danger. You are still young. When you grow up, my cousin won't stop you anymore if you want to come. Why worry?" Li Yan comforted, but his comfort seemed too weak.

"You are still young, Li Yan, you are so embarrassed to say it. Is this the reason? Don't think that I don't know what good things you did when you were my age. At that time, my uncle didn't stop you. Look at it again. Look at me now, don’t say I’m like you back then, I can’t get out even if I want to go out.” Lin Xuan gave Li Yan a contemptuous look, it really doesn’t hurt to stand and talk, let you try it and see if you can’t stand it Accepted.

"Okay, Lin Xuan, don't complain, I may not be as good as you imagined, there are older brothers and sisters, and younger brothers and younger sisters, I am right in the middle, I am free, That's because my parents don't care about me, you were born as the center of the whole family, so naturally you won't understand my suffering." What Li Yan said is true, father loves elder brother, mother loves younger brother, only the love he gets is At least, it's not that his parents don't love him, it's just that the five fingers are long or short, let alone human beings, it's inevitable to be biased.
