Lin Jiajingyu's Counterattack in the Red Chamber

The days are like running water, quietly passing by in a silent place.For Lin Jingyu, life is no different. Wen Shu, went to Xu Mansion to ask for advice from her husband.It seems that, just as Nanny Shen said, the flower viewing party was a good start, and Daiyu finally opened up the situation in the circle of noble girls in the capital by taking advantage of Miss Xu's family.Afterwards, Daiyu participated in a few gatherings of noble ladies, and seeing Daiyu's contented appearance every time she came back, Lin Jingyu finally felt better.

At Daiyu's age, it's time to play around, and there are a couple of boudoirs around her who make friends and talk privately, so she is much more lively.Miss Xu's wedding day is approaching, and Lin Jingyu, who is a foreigner, has never met the beautiful daughter of the Xu family that Daiyu said, but it does not affect his gratitude to this lady in the slightest.The gift list and makeup have been prepared a long time ago.

This day, after dinner, Daiyu and Lin Jingyu took a walk by the lake to enjoy the cool and digest food, and express her little troubles by the way.During the day, Daiyu and her newly-acquainted ladies showed off the gifts they planned to give to Miss Xu's family.After several comparisons, she was obviously not confident about her little gift.

"Brother, Sister Yun's Chicao knot is bright and beautiful, Sister Ming's Qianhelan is elegant and pleasant, Sister Yue's Qiqiaoxin is small and unique, even Sister Ying's dagger is different..."

Lin Jingyu didn't know who the "sister" Daiyu was talking about at all, let alone what gift she gave her little girl a strong blow, and she couldn't help being dazed when she was laying the groundwork.As a result, when he heard the final dagger, his flustered mind immediately returned to the cage.Giving a dagger to the newlyweds, this girl really has a different mind...at least this is the most...'chic' wedding gift he has ever heard.

"dagger?"

"Sister Ying said that if Mr. Li's family treats Mrs. Gui badly in the future, she will use that to chop Mr. Li, and then she will help Mrs. Gui bury her body." Daiyu recalled the mighty and domineering Sister Ying when she said this, her eyes widened. Full of admiration: "Sister Ying is worthy of being from a military commander's family, she speaks and acts differently."

"...Hehe, as expected of a military commander's family." Lin Jingyu followed Daiyu's tone and praised Daiyu's idol. As for what was in her heart, Lin Jingyu thought that it was not important at all.In other words, is it really okay to follow such a domineering girl? !

"But mine...is just ordinary." Daiyu looked depressed.

Lin Jingyu smiled, listening to Daiyu's descriptions and guesses, he was able to roughly describe Miss Xu's family.Beautiful and kind, gentle and pleasant, dignified and extravagant, and her impeccable demeanor makes people feel like a spring breeze, a typical woman of an outstanding family.To Daiyu, Miss Xu's family is a good teacher, a good friend, a bole who has the grace to support her, and... a peak that she will never climb.Miss Xu's family is extremely different in Daiyu's heart, this can be regarded as the first time she formally expressed her gratitude to Miss Xu's family, naturally she was a little uneasy.comforted:

"It's you who underestimated yourself. Your Xiaoxiang Yeyu is very good. The top-quality thousand-year-old sycamore wood, the patterns, carvings, and sounds are all excellent. Even if it is added to the gift list as a gift from the Lin family, it can be regarded as a good deal, let alone your flowers. Thoughts on it." The gift list represents the Lin family's congratulatory gift to the Xu family's married daughter, while Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Yeyu is just a small favor between sisters, the former is more precious, and the latter is more affectionate.

Lin Jingyu thought of the few sycamore trees he had saved up with great difficulty, and she didn't show anything on her face, but her heart was bleeding.He tilted his head to look at Daiyu, who was listening to him carefully, and said seriously: "'Together with one heart to spend this life, the harp is in harmony, the phoenix sings in harmony', there is no better metaphor than this. Respect each other like a guest, the harp and the song, we I think there is no better blessing than this, your dear sister will definitely feel your heart."

"That day, your sister played the piano on the Yuqing Pond, the lotus leaves were in the fields, and the hibiscus swayed like a goddess." Daiyu smiled and said complacently: "At the lotus appreciation party that day, Sister Li joked that Sister Gui said that his brother drum Senai is a must, and the two of them will have a lot to talk about in the future. I thought of this as a gift for your noble sister."

"In the future, the two of them will play the zither and the zither. It must be a good story."

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the Xu family to marry a daughter. The century-old family of the Xu family, the eldest daughter of the Xu family was the eldest daughter of the eldest family, and she married the eldest son of the Li family.Ten miles of red make-up, the bustle is extraordinary, I don’t know how many girls in the boudoir are envious, a large group of boys follow behind the guard of honor and say pleasant things, and the maids who transfer copper coins to buy festivities spread all the way from Xu’s mansion in the north of the city to Li’s mansion in the south of the city.

Lin Jingyu is a student of Xu Wenxiu, and can be regarded as a relative of the Xu family, but thinking of their filial piety, she was afraid of making taboos, so she rejected the Xu family's invitation to invite them to the Li family to observe the ceremony, and planned to stay at the Xu family for breakfast and prepare Back to Lin Mansion.

The breakfast will not start until the newlyweds leave Xu's mansion crying and bidding farewell to their parents.Lin Jingyu arrived not too early or too late, just in time for the auspicious time, the new girl was crying for marriage, and because she had to watch the ceremony, she had to exchange a few words with her father, the former Lord Qin, and the newlywed had time to say something after she left the house talk.

Mr. Qin was his father's best friend during his lifetime. Compared with other people, Lin Jingyu was more familiar with him.Lin Jingyu has always felt that the word "spiritual friendship" is the most suitable description for these two people. They communicate constantly and it is rare to see each other.Most of the letters between the two are their recent favorite poems, and Lin Jingyu's rare lines of inspiration have even been commented on by Master Qin.Before his father got sick, he said that he would take him to visit this Master Qin when he returned to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work. The second house he visited after he arrived in the capital was this Master Qin.

"I haven't seen you in half a month, and you have lost a lot. Is there something you don't understand about your studies?" Master Qin said: "If Master Xu has no time to spare, you come to Qin's residence. I can always remind you a few words."

Lin Jingyu hurriedly said: "Uncle is self-effacing. My father often used my uncle's articles and poems to teach Ruqing during his lifetime. When I was in Suzhou, I often regretted that I couldn't discuss poetry with my uncle face to face."

Talking about his old friend, Master Qin said with regret: "Your father, who is as tall as a zhilanyushu, can only sigh that the sky is jealous of talents."

After sighing, Master Qin turned to admonish: "You are still young enough to be eligible to participate in the Spring Festival, and you are also famous in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas where the style of writing is prevalent. Because of this, you must be more diligent about yourself, and don't be arrogant and complacent, and be proud of your talents. You must know' There are people beyond people, and there is sky beyond the sky', there are not a few students in the past who are still young and brilliant, and it is said that in the last Chunwei, a student was only thirteen years old."

In the last Chunwei session, Mr. Qin was the chief examiner, so he naturally had a clearer grasp of the students who took the exam, especially the special ones.Lin Jingyu feels that the twists and turns are not easy to explain. Two years ago, when he was fourteen, it was the time when he started a family and started a business. Ordinary men married wives and had children as early as his age. His father wanted to wait for him after the autumn. The identity directly appointed a woman with a good family background and good looks, and he lived up to his expectations and made some gains in Qiu Wei in one fell swoop.It just so happened that his father's close friend was the chief examiner of Chunwei in the coming year, and it seemed that the heavens were on his side.He still clearly remembered the ecstasy his father tried to hide when the news came out that Lord Qin was appointed as the examiner by the imperial court.

Then his father died suddenly.

"It's almost a year away from Chunwei, so you must calm your mind." Pulled back to her senses by Master Qin's persuasion, Lin Jingyu listened to Master Qin's ramblings with a smile.Mr. Qin has participated in the scientific examination himself, his nephew and nephew in the family have participated in the scientific examination, and he has personally presided over the scientific examination, so his experience is even more precious.

Qin Yuzhi, the son who was with Master Qin, winked at Lin Jingyu, but when Master Qin looked at him, he was respectful, with a serious expression on his face, Lin Jingyu made a " A bow down' expression in return.

Originally Master Qin was excited to speak, but stopped before finishing a sentence.Feeling puzzled, Lin Jingyu followed Lord Qin's line of sight and saw two people coming hand in hand, one was over forty years old, with a straight face, and the other was extremely quiet even though he hadn't reached the crown yet.

"Master Chang is wearing the light blue gown, and next to him is the second son Yunkai. Master Chang is most likely the chief examiner of this subject. You two come with me." Living in the capital, Yuzhi naturally knows Master Chang and Mr. Chang. His second son Yun Kai, Master Qin only had time to explain Lin Jingyu a few words before he greeted him with a smile.

There is still more than half a year left before Chunwei, and his husband is now more concerned with instructing his strategies, and has not mentioned the examiner's preferences, so Lin Jingyu is naturally not prepared for this.Now that Master Qin was about to introduce him to the person who was suspected to be the chief examiner, Lin Jingyu was also confused for a while.It is inevitable to go to see Qin Yuzhi, hoping that Qin Yuzhi can give some hints.

Seeing Qin Yuzhi making a "celebrity and romantic" mouth shape to him, Lin Jingyu nodded slightly, indicating that he already understood the meaning of Qin Yuzhi's words.

After both parties met, Lord Qin introduced to Lin Jingyu alone: ​​"Ruqing, this is Lord Chang, and the three masters of Yunqing were written by him, you have to meet him carefully."

Mr. Chang has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades, so he can see Mr. Qin's intention to name this young man. When Mr. Qin spoke, he followed up and said, "It's because of the love of my friends that I got such a bad name. I don't know who this is. ?”

Mr. Qin smiled and said: "This is Lin Jingyu, the son of the late Yangzhou inspector Lin Hai. Hurry up and meet Mr. Chang."

Now who in the palace has not been appointed as the chief examiner of this subject, it cannot be said that he is a student of this subject. If Mr. Chang is appointed as the chief examiner of this subject, it is even more impossible to say that he is a student of this subject.Xinxingshang is the most moderate but also the most tactful evaluation, Lin Jingyu understood the meaning of Master Qin's words in a blink of an eye.

Lin Jingyu held her breath, raised her eyes and looked straight at Mr. Chang, her eyes were sincere, her cheeks were slightly red, her voice was calm and calm but it was hard to hide the shyness and excitement on her face when she met someone she admired. "The late student Ruqing has met Master Chang, and has admired Master Chang's name for a long time, but has not been able to meet him in person. I am lucky today, and my wish is fulfilled."

Lord Chang smiled lightly, "As expected of Lord Lin's son, he deserves to be rewarded as a romantic and handsome man, Yushu Lanfang."

Lord Qin praised him for his good temperament, but Lord Chang praised him for his good looks.Both of them are veterans in the officialdom, they seem to have said nothing, and they seem to have said everything.Lin Jingyu secretly kept this official way of speaking in her heart for future needs.

With Mr. Qin passing the ladder, Lin Jingyu and Mr. Chang exchanged a few words, at least it left a good impression on Mr. Chang's heart.Seeing Mr. Xu and nephew of the Xu family coming to invite everyone to move to the main hall to have breakfast, Mr. Qin explained a few words to Yuzhi, and then the nephew of the Xu family took them to the seats of the young nephew.

Qin Yuzhi and Chang Yunkai are both the sons of Beijing officials and they are about the same age, so they naturally know each other.And since Lord Qin can directly introduce him to Lord Chang, it at least shows that the two families have some connections.As soon as Lin Jingyu changed her mind, she found her position.When Qin Yuzhi and Chang Yun were chatting and laughing, they inserted a few words from time to time, and when they arrived at the banquet hall, it was already a sign of a happy meeting.

After the meal, everyone was playing in the pavilion in the garden of Xu's house specially for the guests. Lin Jingyu followed the trend and talked with the people at the same table in the pavilion. Two people were sitting on two sides and playing chess.Most of the people attending the meeting were the sons of officials in the current dynasty. Their fathers, grandfathers and uncles were either on the same front or were enemies of each other. They were basically thinking about how to get more useful things out of the opponent's mouth while ensuring that their own secrets were not leaked.

The dispute between the concubine and the concubine, this topic that is already full of controversy, is just like this.
