Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

Ever since Lin Xuan came in, Lin Daiyu's eyes were full of anticipation and joy. It's just that Lin Xuan had been talking to Jia's mother before, and she couldn't be too eager in front of the elders, but she never left her eyes. They are all paying attention to Lin Xuan.

Naturally, Lin Xuan couldn't fail to notice such an obvious gaze. After talking with Wang Xifeng for a few words, he turned his gaze to Lin Daiyu.

Wang Xifeng is also a smart person. Seeing this situation, there is nothing he doesn't understand. He took a step forward and pulled Lin Daiyu to Lin Xuan, and said with a smile: "You don't know, cousin. Since this little girl received Lin Daiyu I've been looking forward to your arrival since my uncle's letter, and I was even more excited for a long time after hearing that you arrived yesterday, but it's okay, my cousin is here today, otherwise, she would be dying of anxiety."

Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Lin Daiyu blushed, a little embarrassed, she gently tugged at the corner of Wang Xifeng's clothes, and called Lian's second sister-in-law, which obviously meant that she didn't want Wang Xifeng to continue talking.

Knowing that Lin Daiyu was thin-skinned, Wang Xifeng stopped teasing her when she saw her like this, but moved a few steps away to give the brother and sister a little space, and said to them with a smile: "Okay, you brother and sister haven't seen each other for many years , I, who is in the way, will not bother you, you brothers and sisters, let's have a good chat."

Lin Daiyu and Lin Xuan were a little embarrassed by Wang Xifeng's disturbance. Not to mention that they hadn't seen each other for many years, they didn't know what to say for a while, but they wanted to ask something. So many people looked at the two of them here. I'm sorry.

Fortunately, Mother Jia saw the embarrassment of the two of them and pulled them to sit beside her, otherwise they would have stood there relatively silent.

"Sit down, it's tiring to stand up, it's almost time for lunch, and the kitchen is already preparing, Xuan Er, if you want to eat, just tell them, you don't have to be too polite at home." It is said that people become mature when they are old, which actually makes sense. The longer you live, the more you know, and you are better than others in terms of experience and skills. Just say this passage, and put Lin Xuan in the The category of one's own people.

Seeing that Lin Xuan nodded yes, Mother Jia said again: "We still have a demon king in our family, he is your cousin, and he should be coming back from home school soon, and you will be able to see him then, you guys You are a cousin, you have to get along well, you are Xie Yuangong from Gusu, it would be great to come and learn, and I will help you cousin when the time comes."

Lin Xuan knew that Jia's mother should be talking about Jia Baoyu, so he agreed. Anyway, he didn't have any bad feelings for Jia Baoyu, not to mention, they probably wouldn't have many contacts in the future.

Not long after Jia's mother finished speaking, she saw a man in a red Shu brocade robe with eight balls of red flowers rushing in. Seeing that man was dressed in bright red, Lin Xuan knew who the visitor was, and people like to wear a suit in the red building. Jia Baoyu is the only one who can still wear the red clothes with dignity.

Sure enough, after the man came in, he spontaneously came to Mother Jia, glanced at Lin Xuan who was sitting next to Mother Jia, smiled and said to Mother Jia: "Old Ancestor, I listen to those servants outside. People say that sister Lin's brother is here, is this the one sitting next to you?"

"Baoyu, your cousin of the Lin family has become Duke Xie Yuan of Gusu at a young age. Look at his coquettish demeanor. You have to learn from your cousin of the Lin family. In the future, you will be like your cousin of the Lin family. If you come back with a fame like that, then the old ancestor won’t have to worry about you anymore.” Mrs. Xing, who had been sitting at the bottom without making a sound, glanced at Jia Baoyu. The words were still spoken.

Jia Zheng was sitting on the sidelines drinking tea. Hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at the two of them. Seeing that Jia Baoyu seemed to disapprove of Mrs. Xing's words, he thought that Lin Xuan and Jia Baoyu were about the same age. , now that Lin Xuan has won the exam, but Jia Baoyu is still messing around in the inner courtyard, with no future at all, and he suddenly became angry.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, he gave Jia Baoyu a hard look, and shouted: "Baoyu, did you hear me, I will learn more from your Lin cousin in the future, don't always be so unmotivated"

Scared by Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu immediately trembled, and hurriedly looked at Jia's mother. In this era, the principle of dutiful sons is always followed, and few fathers and sons can get along normally. It is not surprising that Jia Baoyu behaved like a cat meeting a mouse when he saw his father. Even if Lin Xuan hadn't lived an extra life, I believe he would not be much better than Jia Baoyu when facing Lin Ruhai. .

Seeing Jia Baoyu's cowering look, Jia Zheng couldn't help but snorted coldly, and when he heard Jia Baoyu's ears, it was almost like the effect of a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he quickly saluted in response.

Mother Jia's expression was a little unsightly. Although she quickly covered it up, she looked at Mrs. Xing with some coldness in her eyes. Mrs. Xing was not smart enough, and she didn't look at the occasion when she said these words. What else can Jia Baoyu be reprimanded by Jia Zheng, but she herself has attracted Jia's mother's disgust for no reason, which is of no benefit at all.

After warning Mrs. Xing, although she was a little dissatisfied with Jia Zheng's reprimanding Jia Baoyu in front of everyone, but with so many people in front of her, especially Lin Xuan, an outsider, Jia's mother also had to take care of it. Jia Zheng's face could not prevent him from being on stage in front of so many people, so he pulled Baoyu past him, and said in agreement: "Baoyu, you heard that your cousin from the Lin family is a good one, you should keep in touch with him more." , It’s good for you, I don’t ask you to be like your Lin family cousin, as long as you can learn a little bit, I will be satisfied.”

After thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Lin Xuan, and said to Jia Baoyu, "Baoyu, this is your cousin of the Lin family."

Seeing Jia Baoyu standing up and saluting to him, Lin Xuan quickly returned the salute. This is the trouble in ancient times. No matter where you go, you have to salute before talking. After seeing each other, Lin Xuan said with a smile: " My younger brother is often in the capital, so I must know a lot of places. When my cousin comes out, I hope that my cousin can take care of me in the future."

Seeing Lin Xuan with a smile on his lips, Jia Baoyu's eyes lit up. If you say that Jia Baoyu is a member of the Appearance Association, Lin Xuan is good-looking, so he can naturally catch his eyes. Coupled with Lin Daiyu's relationship, The favor towards Lin Xuan was gradually rising, and he didn't even care that Lin Xuan was polluted by those imperial examinations.

Sitting at the top, Jia's mother felt relieved when she saw that Lin Xuan and Jia Baoyu were getting along very happily. Seeing that it was getting late, she asked her servants to prepare a meal.

The Jia family is famous for its extravagant enjoyment. Not to mention the exquisite and rich dishes, even the dishes and wine glasses are made of high-quality porcelain and jade. Although the Lin family is not bad, but for some reason Lin Xuan still felt a little emotional, maybe he was too deeply influenced by the book Dream of the Red Chamber.

Just when Lin Xuan came to visit Jia's family, Lin Ruhai also successfully met the current emperor. As expected, Lin Ruhai's position after entering Beijing has been fixed, and there is no need to say more about joining the cabinet. The positions held by the elders are somewhat different. The other senior elders are all additional positions that are noble but do not need to deal with affairs. After all, there are only a few elders in the entire court, and they need to handle quite a lot of affairs. For some other positions, they may not be able to handle them.

However, Lin Ruhai was given an unexpected position this time. Prince Taifu, what should I say about this position? It cannot be said to be bad, but it cannot be said to be good. If the prince's scheming ability is outstanding, then it is very likely that the prince and the prince can become the emperor's teacher, but if the prince has no ability, and his other brothers are eyeing, then the prince and the prince will suffer, but generally It turns out that the candidate for the crown prince and tutor will not be the old man. The reason is very simple. The old man has heavy affairs and a relatively high status. Generally, he does not have the energy and need to teach the prince.

However, the current situation is also special. Today, the Holy Majesty needs several outstanding princes, but up to now, for some reason, the position of prince has always been vacant, so the position of Lin Ruhai, the prince and tutor, is different from that of other princes. Ge Lao looks the same again, they are both noble and needless positions.

It's just that people don't have long-term considerations, and they must have near-term worries. The current emperor is a generation of outstanding people. It is hard to say that his actions have no special significance. Otherwise, there are many noble and leisure positions. Why did you choose such a person? What about sensitive positions?

A companion is like a tiger, no matter what aspect you think about, you can't help Lin Ruhai not to think too much. In this officialdom, if you think more than others, that's okay, but if one day, if you think less than others, even Only a little, it also means that your official career is coming to an end.

Lin Ruhai, full of doubts, returned home with some rare treasures bestowed by the current emperor in order to win him over. In fact, Lin Ruhai wanted to stop by Jia's house to have a look, but now he was touched by the emperor. Confused by his thoughtless actions, all his thoughts were put on guessing the holy will, so there was no time to care about the Jia family.

Don't mention Lin Ruhai, let's talk about Lin Xuan first, after a meal, without talking or sleeping, Lin Xuan chatted with everyone for a while, and then brought up the real purpose of his visit to Jia's mansion. It was also a task that Lin Ruhai specially entrusted to him before entering the palace, that is to take Lin Daiyu back to the Lin family smoothly.

Lin Xuan organized his language a little bit, and then said: "Old Madam, my sister has been bothering the Madam for a long time, and now my father has gone to Beijing for a post, I am really sorry to continue to bother you, my father specially ordered you to go to the palace this morning. Me, let me take my sister back to the mansion, and I hope that the old lady will not be reluctant..."

Although Jia's mother was really reluctant, after all, Lin Daiyu had been by her side for so many years, and she had been pampering and loving her. She was going to leave all of a sudden. Of course, she would feel a little uncomfortable, but she also understood that Lin Ruhai had already entered Beijing for a job. You can't keep Lin Daiyu by your side and prevent the family from being reunited.

What's more, Lin Ruhai has already gone to Beijing anyway, if she wants Lin Daiyu again in the future, it will be very convenient to take her over for a few days, and she agrees happily.

As for Lin Daiyu herself, let alone, she has been away from home for many years, and she has long missed her relatives. What's more, no matter how good Jia's family is, it is also under the fence of others, and it can't compare with her own home, so although she feels a little bit reluctant, she is also Mostly happy.

Jia Baoyu, who was sitting on the side, wanted to say something, but when he glanced at Jia Zheng, he swallowed the words before he uttered them. From this, it could be seen that Jia Baoyu was afraid of Jia Zheng. My younger sister Lin couldn't care less.

Naturally, Lin Xuan didn't care about Jia Baoyu's thoughts. After seeing Jia's mother agreeing, he chatted with everyone for a while, and took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye.For Lin Xuan, since his goal had been achieved and Mother Jia agreed to let him go, there was no need to stay any longer. Just take Lin Daiyu back. He and the Jia family had nothing in common.
