Lin Jiajingyu's Counterattack in the Red Chamber

The eunuch who came to announce the decree was able to hold back, and the smile on Jia Mu's face did not change at all, "Madam, congratulations."

The eunuch's voice awakened Jia's mother, and she quickly thanked her for accepting the order, and then she stood up with the support of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing who were kneeling behind her.

After Jia Mu received the order, Lin Jingyu and Jia Baoyu stood up.Jia Baoyu was trembling with excitement. Through the screen, Lin Jingyu heard Jia Mu talking to the eunuch in the lobby.

Jia Baoyu's eyes were moist, and he couldn't help calling softly: "Big sister..."

In the room, Jia's mother was asking the eunuch who announced the decree to stay and have a glass of wine. Lin Jingyu put her index finger to her lips and made a gesture of silencing Jia Baoyu.

The eunuch didn't hang his voice deliberately like the one who came to announce the decree yesterday. Although he was a bit feminine, he would not make people feel harsh. , the master of the palace is still waiting for the old slave to return to his life."

Lin Jingyu rubbed her stomach calmly. Jia Baoyu now tends to be able to stop hunger with happy events, but he can't.Turning around, I saw that Jia Baoyu was gritting his teeth to avoid making a sound, his expression was constantly changing between chuckling and gnashing his teeth, and that Ruyu's face seemed a little distorted.His hands continued to fiddle with the jade pendants hanging on his waist, and the jade pendants collided with each other making a low and crisp sound.

Today was a big day of celebration, he and Jia Baoyu both wore auspicious jade pendants, as well as purses and sachets of different sizes, which contained such things as golden melon seeds, jade beads, and silver horns.These are reserved for rewarding people.

Lin Jingyu listened attentively to the voices in the hall, Jiamu kept the eunuch for a while, but seeing that she couldn't keep it, she asked Wang Xifeng to give the eunuch 'Xiqian'.

"Since that's the case, I won't keep my old body. I'll let the two boys see you off." Then Mother Jia raised her voice slightly and ordered the two people outside the lobby, "Baoyu, Jingyu, you two go and see you off. "

Lin Jingyu tugged at Jia Baoyu, who was enjoying himself, and pulled him back to his senses. He gave a low 'cough' to signal him to restrain his expression, and made a 'seeing off' expression for Jia Baoyu who had been wandering away just now.

Jia Baoyu is the master of the mansion, and Lin Jingyu is at most accompanies the prince to study.

"Sir, this way please."

Jia Baoyu made a gesture, and led the group of people who came to announce the decree to the gate of the mansion, while greeting the eunuch.Lin Jingyu walked half a step behind the eunuch. On the way, servants kept seeing them and saluted them with smiles on their faces.For these servants, inferring good and bad things from the master's expression is a skill that must be mastered. Good things come close to the master to please them, and bad things stay away from the master so as not to become a punching bag.

Those who stay at the mansion to serve today, even if they are not shrewd, are not reckless or stupid.Knowing the matter clearly, he rushed to them to ask for a reward without this moment.

Lin Jingyu followed Jia Baoyu and sent the group of people who came to announce the decree to the door.Seeing that Jia Baoyu's mind was a little erratic, Lin Jingyu took half a step forward and touched Jia Baoyu's upper right hand lightly. When Jia Baoyu took advantage of the eunuch's not looking at him, he looked at Lin Jingyu suspiciously, and Lin Jingyu pointed at it calmly. Jia Baoyu hangs on the purse on the right.

The purse hangs on Jia Baoyu's right hand side, embroidered with the cloud pattern of blessing.Inside is a jade ruyi handle, which is crystal clear and exquisitely carved, only the size of a palm. It was originally prepared for the little prince brought by Mrs. Linchang Bo.At that time, Lin Jingyu chose it together with Jia Baoyu, and now it can only be used here.

In the lobby just now, Wang Xifeng gave the eunuch 'happy money'.But in front of the orders of the two princesses and the entire room, it's not good to be light, and it's even worse to be heavy.For the eunuch in charge who had seen such a big scene, the 'Happy Money' was probably just for fun.

"Everyone made a hard trip, and didn't even have a glass of water or wine. The adults are busy, so the house doesn't force them to stay. This is the wine money from the house to the brothers, please don't refuse." Jia Baoyu took off his purse, Give it to the eunuch.The eunuch declined several times with a smile on his face, but only accepted when he saw that he couldn't refuse. "This is their part of the errand, how can you use a young master like this? Well, since this is the case, I will not be such a villain, so I will accept it for them."

As he said that, he smiled and said to the little eunuch who came with him: "You little bastards have taken advantage of it, thank you two gentlemen."

After talking for a while, Jia Baoyu and Lin Jingyu sent the eunuch outside the gate of the mansion.

"The two young masters stay behind."

"Go slowly, my lord."

As he spoke, the eunuch bowed and carried a small green cloth sedan chair.Seeing the small green cloth sedan go away, Jia Baoyu couldn't hold back the poise he had pretended before, and his face was filled with uncontrollable joy, "Big sister... old ancestor... big sister......"

Jia Baoyu was very excited. For a while, the words "old ancestor" and "big sister" were repeated repeatedly. He wanted to say something to express his state of mind at this moment, but found that words were lacking, and there was nothing to express his joy at the moment. .But for a moment, she was so happy that she shed tears.

"Brother Lin, no matter how great the joy in this life is, it's nothing more than this."

"How old are you that you dare to talk about this life? Carefully tell your ancestors to beat you." Lin Jingyu laughed, "I don't know until today that flowers and brocades are nothing more than that."

"People often say, 'When there is rain after a long drought, an old acquaintance is met in a foreign land. On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, when the title is named on the gold list.' It is the four great happy events in my life. I thought so at first, but now I know that there are such happy things!" Jia Baoyu raised his head. Glancing at the plaque hanging at the entrance of the mansion that says 'Imperially build the Rongguo Mansion', he said after a long while: "Cousin Lin...Look at me, I'm so happy that I don't know what to say."

Lin Jingyu was amused by Jia Baoyu, "Then don't say anything!"

"Then how can I bear it?" Jia Baoyu looked down at the stone lion at the gate of the mansion, looked at Lin Jingyu with bright eyes and asked, "Cousin Lin, do you think you want someone to light two firecrackers at the gate of the mansion? "

"Then don't!" If Jia Baoyu really did this, Rongguo Mansion's face would be lost, and he would give everyone an impression of flamboyant and frivolous at the scene.Lin Jingyu hurriedly persuaded: "Baoyu, the firecrackers to celebrate the ancestor's birthday were let go early in the morning. What's the point of setting off firecrackers at this hour? No one behaves like this!"

Even though Jia Baoyu was somewhat eclectic, he was still able to distinguish clearly in these matters.Just now I was overjoyed, and this idea was born.After Lin Jingyu persuaded her, she understood. "I'm overjoyed."

It was such a big event, and it was a happy event, but it spread all over the world in a short while.When the people who came to announce the decree left, the gatekeepers all ran up to congratulate the two, "Congratulations to Second Master Bao, and congratulations to Uncle Lin."

"Happiness together, joy together, rewards for all." As he said that, Jia Baoyu took off the accessories tied around his waist and gave them to the doormen who came forward to say festive words.The two of them became wealth-spreading boys at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

"I forgot such an important thing, I guess my father and uncle still can't believe it." After realizing it, Jia Baoyu hurriedly sent someone to Ningguo Mansion to tell Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng and others.The imperial decree was announced to Mother Jia, so it was naturally read in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng and the others who were receiving guests in Ningguo Mansion at this time probably didn't know about it.

Jia Baoyu and Lin Jingyu turned around and headed to the lobby where they received guests after sending their cronies to report to Ningguo Mansion.After walking all the way, Lin Jingyu and Jia Baoyu listened to the auspicious words of joy along the way.Because they spent a lot of time at the gate of the mansion, when they got back, they heard a few sisters congratulating their ancestors.Presumably the Concubine Nan'an, Princess Beijing and all the wives had already congratulated each other, and it happened to be the turn of the charming guests in the mansion.

"Congratulations old lady"

With Concubine Nan'an, Concubine Beijing and others present, naturally they cannot be called 'ancestors'.After the sisters finished speaking, Lin Jingyu and Jia Baoyu followed closely and said, "Congratulations, old lady."

"Who is outside? I wanted to ask you just now."

Then I heard Jia's mother say, "It's Baoyu and Jingyu. You know that boy Baoyu. The other boy is my grandson, the elder brother of this girl."

"It turned out to be him. As soon as you said it, I knew who it was. My prince often talked about it, and he said that he was young and promising." Lin Jingyu thanked Princess Nan'an for her praise outside, and heard that Princess Nan'an would Daiyu boasted a lot, and said to Jia Mu: "The girls in your family are all the best. It turns out that the fairies who have descended to the world have all fallen into your house. I am dazzled, but I don't know which one to praise." gone."

Everyone followed Concubine Nan'an and praised the girls inside. Someone had already divided the gifts prepared early in the morning into six equal parts and gave them to several girls. Reward the maid."

Lin Jingyu heard that all the sisters thanked Concubine Nan'an, and Princess Beijing and all the wives gave their rewards again.Since there was no order from inside, Lin Jingyu and Jia Baoyu had to wait outside.

When all the ladies had finished rewarding, Jiamu said with a smile, "the girls have taken advantage of it today." Then she heard Jiamu order them both: "Baoyu, send someone to tell your uncle and your father first." , and let them have a good time. Then I went to use some things with Jingyu, I heard that you just came back from the temple, I am afraid you are still hungry."

The wives also praised the two for their filial piety, and Jia Mu was blessed.

Lin Jingyu and Jia Baoyu left the lobby and went back to Jiamu's yard.The mandarin ducks waiting in the yard saw them coming from a distance, and hurriedly ordered people to serve hot food.

Yuanyang bowed towards the two with a smile on her face, thinking that the content of the imperial decree had already been spread throughout the Rongguo Mansion. "Congratulations to Second Master Bao, and to Uncle Lin."

Jia Baoyu couldn't hide his joy, "Congratulations to my sister too." As he spoke, he untied the purse and handed it to Yuanyang.

Yuanyang took it, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that I caught up today!"

Early in the morning, I followed Jia Baoyu to the temple to chant scriptures, and when I came back, I accompanied Aunt Xue and had a chat with several people.The lady in charge had just re-arranged the table, and before she sat down, she went to the front to receive the order.Although he used some snacks, but he is now at the age when half a child eats a poor old man, so what is the use of that?I was so hungry that I had no strength.Moreover, he already knew about today's imperial decree, where could he be happy?

"You two are happy first, I am so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back, and I have lost the energy to be happy."

"Uncle Lin, this way." Hearing what Lin Jingyu said, Yuanyang hurriedly led Lin Jingyu to the table.Seeing the servant girl serving the food, she urged: "You all need to move quickly, the two masters are waiting. Tell Seventh Sister-in-law to hurry up, maybe the two masters are waiting for her!"

The servant girl shook her hand, quickly put down the plate in her hand, and said while running outside: "Sister Yuanyang, come here."

Although the servant girl was being taught a lesson by the mandarin duck, her face was full of joy.

After a hot meal, Lin Jingyu finally recovered.After washing his mouth, he and Jia Baoyu went to the yard to talk and listen to the play.
