Lin Jiajingyu's Counterattack in the Red Chamber

Lin Jingyu blew on it carefully, and after the ink dries, carefully mounted the painting, memorized the style of the scroll, and then put it away in the illustrated porcelain jar.

When Yu Xiao came in, Lin Jingyu was tidying up the messy desk.Yu Xiao stepped forward and said softly, "Master, Second Master Lian of Rongguo Mansion has arrived."

Hearing Yuxiao's words, Lin Jingyu paused her hands, then calmly continued to put the pen holder in her hand on the desk, while clearing her mind.

"Butler Lin has made arrangements?"

Yu Xiao stepped forward and moved the remaining paperweights on the case table to the desk, and arranged them according to Lin Jingyu's usual habits.While replying: "Master, Second Master Lian came from a long way, butler Lin asked Second Master Lian to wash up first."

After the desk returned to its original state, Lin Jingyu hissed.Lin Jingyu asked while Ren Yuxiao changed the outer gown for him, "How is Daiyu now?"

Yu Xiao kept moving her hands, and replied with worry in her tone: "The little girl from Luomei Pavilion came over just now, and the girl seems to have a cold. Butler Lin has already asked the doctor for a pulse, and the doctor said that the girl is mainly It’s stagnation in the heart, overwork, and it will be fine after a while.”

Hearing that Daiyu was ill, Lin Jingyu frowned.Carefully explained: "I'll see Cousin Lian later, you can go to Daiyu's place to reassure her. You can see if there are any good medicinal materials here, pick some and send them to Daiyu Rest first, I am here for everything, the sky will not fall."

Yuxiao fastened Lin Jingyu's belt, smoothed out the folds carefully, and replied, "Yes."

Lin Jingyu took Shitou and Ah Sheng out of the house, and when she came out of the yard, she saw the little maid named Yanliu in her yard salute to her, she nodded and went to the main hall.

Lin Jingyu arrived at the main hall, just as she was offering incense, she heard Lin Butler come in and say, "Master, Second Master Lian from Rongguo Mansion is here."

Lin Jingyu inserted the incense carefully, and then calmly said to Butler Lin: "Please come in."

Butler Lin invited Jia Lian in. Since Lin Jingyu and Jia Lian met for the first time, it was inevitable that both parties should pay their respects. He was concerned that he was in front of Lin Ruhai after all, so he simply bowed to each other.

After the two parties met, Lin Jingyu withdrew to the side, and Jia Lian kowtowed and offered incense with a solemn expression.After Jia Lian finished offering incense, Lin Jingyu knelt down and bowed in thanks.

After finishing the etiquette, Lin Jingyu invited Jia Lian to the flower hall not far away that was often used to entertain guests.

After Jia Lian sat down, she said sadly, "Uncle Lin treats me like my own son. I often listen to Uncle Lin's teachings, but it's a pity that I can't see Uncle Lin for the last time." Jia Lian paused, looked at Lin Jingyu worriedly, and said: "Cousin Lin, please express my condolences."

Seeing Jia Lian's behavior, Lin Jingyu sounded the alarm in her heart, concealed her guard, and said with emotion: "Thank you, Cousin Lian, for caring, Jingyu is fine. I know that my cousin is thinking about it, and my father's spirit in heaven will also comfort her." of."

Seeing the regret on Jia Lian's face when he talked about Lin Ruhai, Lin Jingyu couldn't help but think more highly of Jia Lian.Lin Jingyu thought about not showing anything on her face, so she changed the subject and asked, "I don't know if Cousin Lian's journey is going well?"

Hearing Lin Jingyu's concerned inquiry, Jia Lian hurriedly said that nothing happened. "Drag my cousin's blessing, and go all the way smoothly." Jia Lian paused, turned his head left and right meaningfully, and asked Lin Jingyu suspiciously: "By the way, why don't you see Cousin Daiyu?"

Lin Jingyu replied apologetically: "Last night, I was tired from the vigil and was still resting. I guess the maid beside me hasn't had time to announce that my cousin is here."

Jia Lian originally wanted to say, "Sister Lin is also too sad, but on the other hand, Sister Lin is worthy of being a filial daughter." ’, but what he heard was not that Daiyu was sick and could not see guests, so Jia Lian had to swallow the words from his mouth.

He often heard people say that Biaomei Lin was not in good health, and in his estimation, her body should not be able to bear such a great tragedy.Then he can use Cousin Lin who is 'sick from excessive grief' to save Cousin Lin. No matter what, Cousin Lin is not easy to come forward to make arrangements in order not to lose people's tongue.At that time, I was recommending myself, no matter how I looked at it, I couldn't get away with this job.The matter explained by the second wife can be easily completed later, and depending on Uncle Lin's family background, maybe he can make some money.Even if he is grateful for Cousin Lin's kindness, when Cousin Lin gets married, it's enough to add makeup to the money.

Jia Lian took a deep look at the delicate and handsome man in front of him, but he seemed to be as clear as bamboo.I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Jia Lian thought with some doubts.Maybe it was just a coincidence, after all, he had just turned fourteen.

Seeing that Lin Jingyu didn't get her way, Jia Lian decided to speak directly, and asked with concern: "Things are so complicated, I don't know if Cousin Lin can still be busy? When I went out, your grandmother repeatedly told me. If only I could make it easier The place where the power is on, my cousin just told me to go."

Lin Jingyu smiled, and responded gratefully: "I'm relieved to have my cousin's words, but don't worry about my cousin when the time comes."

Jia Lian let go of what he had been worrying about all this time, and secretly smiled: It is true that he is young and immature, and the second wife's account is almost the same, and he promised it repeatedly when he left.Jia Lian laughed and said, "How come?! We are relatives after all, and we always help each other out."

Lin Jingyu looked at Jia Lian with gratitude slowly in his eyes, and he looked at Jia Lian with ecstasy.

"My cousin has just arrived, so I'm afraid he hasn't rested yet. Why don't you go down to recuperate first, and when your cousin recovers, you'll be busy."

Jia Lian was indeed a little tired, he had already thought of leaving when he had a clue, but Lin Jingyu's words hit his heart. "Then I'll go first, my cousin will make arrangements first, and I'll come back early tomorrow morning."

Lin Jingyu stood up and walked two steps away, and stretched out her hand to signal, asking him to go first.Jia Lian smiled at Lin Jingyu, and took the servant who came with him to the yard arranged for him by Lin Butler.

Lin Jingyu stood and watched him both, with a slight smile on her face.

The young man turned his head inadvertently, and saw the uncle of the Lin family looking gratefully at the back of the second master Lian.The last trace of doubt in the boy's heart was gone, and he felt relieved and happily followed Jia Lian.

Seeing that Jia Lian's figure had disappeared into the corridor, the smile on Lin Jingyu's face faded away, her face expressionless.

Lin Jingyu picked up the cold tea, took a sip, and secretly thought of a way.

He didn't understand at first, but when he heard the latter sentence, he knew what Jia Lian was up to.Lin Jingyu thought to herself, this wealth is really enviable, but it's not enough, isn't Jia Yuanchun yet to visit his relatives?Rongguo Mansion should not have reached this point yet.

The fact is that the Jia family has not yet reached that point, but Mrs. Wang even dares to ask for the profit from the death of her children and grandchildren, so how can she let go of the pie that fell from the sky? !After all, black-hearted money is no different from clean money in her eyes.

Ah Sheng was taking the teapot to change Lin Jingyu's tea, when she saw that Lin Jingyu was already drinking the cold tea, she called out in disapproval: "Master"

Her train of thought was interrupted, and Lin Jingyu, who came back to her senses, shook her head at Ah Sheng, put down the teacup, and said to Ah Sheng: "Ah Sheng, go and ask Butler Lin to come over."

After Ah Sheng went out, Lin Jingyu beckoned to Shitou.Seeing his uncle's mysterious appearance, Shitou listened curiously.

Lin Jingyu explained a few words to Shishi.After hearing the master's arrangement clearly, Shi Shi suppressed the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised because of the good show, and replied respectfully: "Master, Shi Shi understands.".He changed his tone in an instant, and Shitou asked slyly, "Master, can it be done?"

Lin Jingyu glanced at Shitou reproachfully, Shitou hurriedly nodded and frowned, slapped himself on the mouth lightly, then opened his mouth and ran out joyfully.

When he came out of the hall, he ran into Butler Lin who was about to come in and Ah Sheng who was following behind. Shito also bared his teeth at Butler Lin as a hint.

The housekeeper Lin who didn't understand came in in a daze, saw Lin Jingyu sitting there alone, and after paying his respects, he asked doubtfully, "Master, why is that boy Shitou so thieves?"

Lin Jingyu hated that iron could not be made into steel, and secretly cursed Shitou in her heart, "Little brat, I can't help it, I have said it several times to be cautious."

Lin Jingyu's face remained unchanged, and she teased without any psychological burden. "That kid, I'm afraid there is someone in your heart?"

Hearing this, Lin Butler's eyes lit up instantly.He hurriedly asked: "Which girl?" He brought up that boy Shitou alone, and he has reached the age of thinking about girls.

Butler Lin hurriedly thought about the girls Shitou could see, but without a clue, he looked at Lin Jingyu eagerly, clearly wanting Lin Jingyu to give her some advice.

Lin Jingyu looked at Lin Butler's posture of hiring him as soon as he said who it was, the corners of Lin Jingyu's mouth twitched.He shouldn't tell jokes with serious people, isn't this embarrassing himself? !

Lin Jingyu hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Steward Lin, I'm afraid this mansion cannot be lived in. Although the person taking office hasn't arrived yet, we have to make preparations first."

Seeing that Lin Jingyu was talking about something serious, Lin Butler hurriedly put aside his thoughts of finding out which girl it was. "Master, what do you mean: don't you want to go back to the ancestral house?"

Lin Jingyu thought carefully for a while, then shook her head at Lin Butler.Explained: "Although the ancestral house is cleaned every year, after all, it has not been lived in for many years, it is not popular, and there are many inconveniences. My plan is to find a smaller yard near here, and wait for Qiu Wei's ranking to come out. Make another plan."

Butler Lin went over Lin Jingyu's words carefully in his heart, suppressed his high school expectations, and asked suspiciously: "Master, are you going to stay in the capital from now on?"

Lin Jingyu nodded affirmatively to Butler Lin, and seeing that the serving maids were standing far away, she said to Butler Lin in a low voice: "I've thought about it carefully, and my husband's family is in the capital. Although Daiyu is still young, she can Fourteen after three years of filial piety. Take it easy now

Thinking slowly, so as not to be confused when you get flustered.Family background, character, appearance, talent and learning, etc., I am not as good as a woman as a man,

There are always places where I don't care about everything.The elder sister-in-law of the husband is the wife of the second grade. If you ask the husband to come forward, you can also ask Mrs. Xu to help you. "Lin Jingyu thought about it carefully, and added: "If the ancestors bless you, I will stay in Beijing to help Daiyu so that Daiyu will not be idle. "

Lin Butler nodded in agreement, and once again affirmed his master's vision in the bottom of his heart.This person has good character, good appearance, good temperament, good talent, and most importantly, he is good to girls. He is really hard to find with a lantern, but he was met by the master. It is really a good thing from the ancestors!

Butler Lin replied respectfully: "Master, then I'll go down and make arrangements."

Lin Jingyu thought of Jia Lian who had just left, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute"

Lin Jingyu saw that Butler Lin stopped, and waited for him to look at her before continuing: "You first send someone to find the house as soon as possible, and you go and put away those delicate objects yourself, and Daiyu's prepared dowry will be transported first. Go to the capital. Let Cousin Lian take care of the rest of the big items that are not easy to move and are not worth much."

When Steward Lin heard the last sentence, he held back his smile and backed out.Lin Jingyu rested her forehead with one hand, and rubbed the jade wrench on her thumb with her index finger with the other hand.After thinking for a while, after sorting out the clues, he took Ah Sheng to the mourning hall to guard.

Speaking of this, Yu Xiao watched Lin Jingyu, Shitou, and Ah Sheng leave, and naturally saw Yanliu rushing to pay his respects.Yu Xiao stared intently at the charming smile on Yan Liu's face, and thought in his heart: It's a big deal to keep her.

Yu Xiao wrote down the important matter that was about to be done, and went to the neighboring Luomei Pavilion first.After thanking the maid who informed her, Yuxiao went in and saw Xueyan combing Daiyu's hair, it seemed that she was almost ready.Seeing her coming in, Daiyu hurriedly stood up.Yu Xiao bowed her knees to ask for peace, and said with a smile, "Master sent his servant over to see if the girl is feeling better."

Daiyu moved away from the stool, asked Yuxiao to sit on the chair, and responded, "It's almost recovered, but it's really worried my brother."

Seeing Yu Xiao's resignation, Daiyu knew that she was the most self-controlled and didn't force it, so she continued, "Didn't you say Cousin Lian is here? I'm going to pay my respects."

Yu Xiao replied respectfully: "Master and Miss are thinking of going together, Master has specifically explained that the girl should rest first, and he will entertain Second Master Lian." Yu Xiao paused, then continued: "Master I also said, please don’t worry, girl, everything will never fall with him.”

When Daiyu heard the last sentence, although she was often taken care of carefully, it was the first time she heard such heartfelt words, and a sweet and astringent feeling surged in Daiyu's heart.

Seeing that Daiyu was stunned, Yuxiao said to Xueyang next to her, "The supplements that the master ordered to bring are still outside, what if I want to put them in?"

Xueyang looked at Daiyu, and Daiyu hurriedly said: "Take it back and make up for your brother. I have a lot of these things here. My brother sends them over every three days. I can't use them up after a meal. It's a waste of money." gone."

Seeing Daiyu's sincerity, Yuxiao knew that Daiyu's words were true, so she didn't insist on putting her here.Lin Jingyu sent people to deliver things every three days, and Yuxiao often ran errands and knew Daiyu's medicinal materials best.Because she had something to do, Yuxiao accused Daiyu of her crime, and went back with Xinlu and Yanhong holding things.

When passing the fork in the road, Yuxiao bit her lips and looked at the gravel road leading to the mourning hall, then turned her head and told Xinlu and Yanhong: "Put the things back first, and then"

Before Yu Xiao finished speaking, he saw Shi Shi running out with a happy face, but he didn't see them.Seeing Shi Shi's reckless appearance, Yu Xiao frowned and shouted: "Shi Shi, come here."

Shi Shi's movements stopped, and when he looked back, he saw Yu Xiao and his party, and immediately regained his self-satisfied look, and walked over steadily.

Yu Xiao said: "Look at your reckless appearance, what kind of dignity do you have. What are you going to do?"

Yu Xiaoben just added the last sentence casually, but saw that Shi Shi hesitated but didn't reply.Yuxiao's brows furrowed deeper, and he raised his voice and said, "Why are you hesitating, I can still eat you."

Seeing that Shitou really couldn't escape, he hurriedly carried out the magic weapon: "Master asked me to do something."

Yu Xiao was even more impatient when he saw that Shi Shi's words were not clear. "The uncle asked you to do something? Then you still have such an unspeakable look. Who is it?"

Shi Shi glanced at Xinlu and Yanhong next to Yuxiao, leaned closer and said, "Send Xinlu and Yanhong back first, and I'll tell you."

Yu Xiao looked at Shi Shi in disbelief, and when Shi Shi nodded suddenly, he almost pretended to be innocent before saying to Yan Hong and Xin Lu, "Go back first."

When the two walked away, they turned their heads and looked at the stone suspiciously.Shitou didn't give a shit, and directly lowered his voice to explain the reason.

"The uncle was afraid that the second master Lian would come alone and there would be no one he liked by his side, so he sent me to find a strange woman who knows the cold and the hot and will love others."

Yu Xiao didn't expect this to happen, and was stunned.She knows the meaning of this sentence, what is called a strange woman must be someone who has extraordinary ability to hold a man's heart.Yu Xiao thought to himself, this is also a solution, presumably the second master Lian would not have the time to take care of other things, so it turned out that the uncle had this idea.

Shito asked for instructions with a playful smile: "Sister Yuxiao, shall I go then?"

Yu Xiao reprimanded: "Speak well, why did you imitate Mr. Jiang's accent." Seeing Shi Shi's serious expression, he ordered the broadcast with concern: "Go slowly, why are you in a hurry? Curious?!"

Seeing that Shi Shi answered and let her go, Yu Xiao remembered that she was thinking about finding a good place for Yan Liu to rest her mind, but she didn't expect someone to give her a pillow just after she fell asleep.

Yu Xiao is not in a hurry to go to Lin Jingyu's place now, she thinks that there is Ah Sheng following there anyway, so she decides it is reasonable to go back and deal with the thorn in her heart first.

The author has something to say: I sat under the electric fan for a whole noon, and then I caught a tragic cold this afternoon.

Dear friends, be careful of heat and cold.
