Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

On the way back, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng exchanged some words, and smiled wryly at each other.Jia Lian's relationship was not going well either, and Lin Ruhai didn't mention what happened last time, but he didn't express anything to Jia Lian's courteous words, let alone any relationship.Looking at him with a calm expression, he looked at himself calmly, just like entertaining ordinary guests, very polite and alienated.Jia Lian couldn't help feeling the coercion and discomfort in his heart, and secretly complained, and finally got the same answer from Lin Ruhai as Lin Daiyu.

This matter is so useless, isn't the Lin family a scholarly family? When my aunt was alive, she had always been kind and respectful to the Jia family, but now she's gone.Sister Lin is also wayward. She doesn't have a mother to support her, but she doesn't even know how to win over her own relatives. It's really unwise!

When Jia's mother heard Wang Xifeng's return, she was naturally a little unhappy. Now she took the initiative to reach out to the Lin family, but their father and daughter refused to follow the trend.But she can't show timidity in front of everyone, she just said that now that the Lin family is in a hurry, they will come to the mansion to visit.Jia Zheng was very pleased when he heard this. He had long wanted to catch up with his brother-in-law and talk about current affairs.If the brother-in-law can agree to the knowledge of Baoyu and Jialan, it is best to accept it as an apprentice, and that will be a matter of great satisfaction.

Who knows, this wait has been waiting for nearly two months.When the Lin family came to visit at the beginning, it was the time when the sky was clear and the golden osmanthus was fragrant, but it was not until the weather was cold and the thin winter jackets were on, that the Lin family's father and daughter came late.These days, Jia Mu's heart gradually cooled down like this weather.The Lin family really didn't give her face.But she suppressed herself, this is not the time to get angry, the Lin family is still useful to the Jia family.In particular, there is still a major matter that needs the help of the Lin family.

The next day, Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu, and Lin Chenxi took two cars, and under the respectful guidance of Jia's servants, entered the Rongguo Mansion through the side entrance.Lin Ruhai was invited to entertain Lin Ruhai in the study by Jia Zheng and Jia She, while Lin Daiyu took Lin Chenxi to meet Jia's mother first.

Lin Chenxi is over ten years old. Lin Ruhai originally said that "a man and a woman can't get along well" and politely refused him to go to Jiamu's house.But I heard that the ones present were only the sisters of Jia's family, who were also related to Lin Chenxi, so they had to let him go to salute Jia's mother, but repeatedly asked him to keep the etiquette.Lin Daiyu wants Lin Ruhai to rest assured that she will take good care of Lin Chenxi.Lin Chenxi will be the heir of the Lin family in the future, and the Jia family may not want to have his idea.

Calculated, Yingchun of the Jia family is a few years older than Lin Chenxi, and Tanchun is about the same age as him. Although they are concubines, they are not worthy of being the future head of the Lin family, but Lin Chenxi But it was Jia Mu's grandson. If something was calculated and something happened, and Jia Mu used his status to force him to make a match, it might not be impossible for him to succeed.Xichun is young, and she is also a lady of the East Mansion. People in the Rongguo Mansion will not plan for her, so you can rest assured.Sanchun's life is indeed a tragedy, worthy of sympathy, but Lin Daiyu has nothing to do with them at this time, she can't choose to sacrifice Lin Chenxi in order to save them.She didn't want her siblings to get involved with the Jia family. Isn't the goal of her efforts to get rid of the Jia family and live freely.

As soon as Jia's mother saw Lin Daiyu, she hugged her into her arms and cried loudly, her son screaming loudly.

"My sons and daughters, the only one who loves you is your mother. If you leave me today, you won't even be able to see each other. Why don't I feel sad when I see you today!" Mother Jia sobbed.

The corner of Lin Daiyu's mouth twitched, the words from the original book appeared again, but she didn't respond like the original owner, so she had to let Jiamu sing a one-man show alone.

Jia Mu cried sadly, and everyone covered their faces and wept too. Lin Daiyu just bowed her head and said nothing, and didn't try to persuade her.Mother Jia cried like this for a long time, and finally she had to stop her tears.

Oh, don't you cry!Lin Daiyu said in a soft voice: "Grandma, don't be sad. Now that my father and I are safe, and there is Chenxi to inherit the incense of the Lin family, he is a good boy. My mother has a spirit in the sky, and she will smile and be happy under the nine springs."

"You're right!" Mother Jia smiled, pulled Lin Chenxi to take a closer look, and praised: "What a complete child, I will often come to my grandmother's house in the future, there are many brothers and sisters here, everyone can be company .”

"Grandmother," Lin Chenxi said with a smile, "my father ordered me to study hard every day. He assigned a lot of homework in the morning, and he had to test me in the evening. Today, I have to come to my grandmother's house, which made me relax a little bit." .” He knew what his father and sister were thinking, so he was very careful not to let the Jia family take the opportunity to enter.This sentence is actually a tactful rejection of Jia Mu.

Mother Jia's face paled, and Lin Daiyu and Lin Chenxi's attitude made her feel dark, so she could only sigh with a smile, and then ordered the girls and Baoyu to meet the Lin siblings.

The first one to arrive was Sanchun of the Jia family, and sure enough, the aura of the Jia family was concentrated on the woman. The three springs were either gentle and beautiful, or eager to fly, and each had its own advantages.After a while, Jia Baoyu also came.This is a legendary figure who was born with jade, Lin Daiyu looked at her curiously.Sure enough, Jia Baoyu's face is like the moon of Mid-Autumn Festival, and her color is like the flowers of spring dawn', and she has a very attractive skin.However, modern men's clothing styles are mostly simple and neat, low-key and luxurious. After traveling, the clothes of Lin Ruhai and others she saw were also elegant and elegant, with great taste. Jia Baoyu's red and golden dress made Lin Daiyu feel Some dazzling.

Jia Baoyu's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Daiyu, who was elegant and refined, with a condensed temperament, and hurriedly came forward to greet her and Lin Chenxi, and said with a smile, "I've seen this sister before!"

'Sister Lin fell from the sky! Lin Daiyu's mind was flooded by this singing, and she was excited, and greeted Lin Chenxi seriously: "Chenxi, this is the second brother Bao from the second uncle's family!"

"Second Brother Bao." Lin Chenxi saluted politely, but Jia Baoyu returned the salute in a respectful manner, and asked Lin Daiyu with a smile, "Has my sister ever studied?"

Lin Daiyu will not be as clumsy as in the original book, "I have never studied, only studied for a year, and I know a few words.".The Lin family was originally a family of scholars, and now it is not the early days of the founding of the country, it is the time when scholars are widely respected, so why don't they show off their superior status boldly: "I have read, I have learned all the four books. When I was in Jiangnan, the teacher who taught me to read Mr. Jia is a second-class Jinshi who has been an official. He taught very well. Later, Chenxi also studied with him. It is a pity that he is used to the customs of the south of the Yangtze River, and he does not want to go north. It is a pity. Now, Chenxi is studying the classics , I don’t need the imperial examination in the future, just read some history books and classics of various schools of thought according to my own interests, and just practice calligraphy every day. Compared with Chenxi, it’s much easier.”

Jia Baoyu was depressed when he heard the words. He only read the Four Books to deal with Jia Zheng. Is sister Lin, who is like a fairy, so knowledgeable?Why do girls read such books? Shouldn't they read poems every day, make rouge, enjoy flowers and tea, dress up well, and live freely?Brother Chenxi, who is younger than him, is forced to study for imperial examinations all day long, it's so boring!What's more terrible is that Master Lin is accompanying Uncle Lin at this moment. If you hear that Sister Lin and Brother Lin are working so hard, when they leave, you have to test your own knowledge.Thinking of this, his face suddenly became bitter.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were also uncomfortable for a while, and their hearts were tight.Lin Daiyu's sister and brother are so young, and Lin Daiyu is still a girl, Lin Ruhai actually invited a second-class Jinshi to teach her!

Second-class Jinshi, he has been an official, and his status is very honorable. Back then, Jia Jing finally won the Jinshi, and the Jia family had a big banquet for a few days, and they were very happy. This is extremely rare in the Wuxun family. .However, a person with such a status is willing to condescend to teach students in the Lin family. Isn't it because of Lin Ruhai's background and fame that Mr. Jia can agree?If it was the Jia family, he might not be willing!

Jia's mother: Oh, it's a bit of a blessing to be a villain!

Mrs. Wang: Baoyu still needs to study genealogy at the Jia family, but the girl and the locust of the Lin family can command a second-class Jinshi, regardless of whether they are worthy or not!So annoying!

Lin Daiyu did not see Xue Baochai.In this world, if the Xue family did not go to Beijing, naturally there would be no plot of Xue Baochai moving into the Rongguo Mansion.Lin Daiyu, who traveled through time and space, was a butterfly who changed the trajectory of her destiny after all.Xue Pan still beat Feng Yuan to death, but because he didn't "enter the Rongguo Mansion", Jia Yucun was still nesting in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't look forward to the opportunity to come to Jia's (Wang's?) family to help him recover.Yin Tianfu Yin has someone else, he did not join the four major families, even though he would be wary of Wang Ziteng's influence, he would punish Xue Pan lightly, he would not make such an absurd judgment as Jia Yucun.

Xue Pan was finally brought to court by the Feng family. He was convicted of failing to restrain his servants and beating each other to death.Xue Baochai has to take care of the Xue family's business outside, comfort Aunt Xue inside, and also take care of Xue Pan's official errands from time to time, why would he want to go to Beijing?Because Lin Daiyu didn't go to Jia's house, Mrs. Wang didn't have any urgent desire to fight Jia's mother.Therefore, it was originally a story of the three of Bao Daichai, but Jia Baoyu was the only one on the stage who became independent.Tsk tsk, what a pity!

Lin Daiyu ordered the maids around her to present a greeting gift.The three springs of Jia’s family are exactly the same. Each pair draws patterns with thin gold wires, hair garlands inlaid with gemstones of various colors as stamens, a string of high-quality pearls, and a dozen exquisite Suzhou embroidered handkerchiefs; Wan and Wang Xifeng gave a few bolts of Kesi, fine brocade and a pair of gemstone bracelets; for the cousins ​​there were new books, inkstones, Hui ink, etc. This gift was considered decent, and everyone thanked the Lin family for their kindness.It's just that the gift for Jia Lan looks better than the gift for Jia Baoyu, and Jia Huan and Jia Cong also have their share of the gift, but it's not as good as Jia Baoyu's.

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw the gifts distributed by Lin Daiyu.Li Wan felt complicated, both grateful and worried.The Lin family is worthy of being a scholarly family, and they are well-behaved.Originally, her Lan'er was the eldest grandson of the second room, and her status was higher than Jia Baoyu according to the rules, but she was overshadowed by Jia Baoyu, as if she was an invisible person at home.She is just a living archway of Jia's family, raised to keep festivals, and has more monthly allowances than others. Who would care about their mother and child on weekdays?But when Li Wan saw Mrs. Wang's gloomy gaze from the side, his heart turned cold, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to let her notice the joy on his face.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, everyone pretended to be nothing, but Jia Baoyu asked puzzledly: "Sister Lin, why is my share different from Laner's?"—it seems that it is not as good as Laner's !Jia Baoyu didn't have the nerve to say this.

Everyone was silent, Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's faces a little unsightly, and hurried forward to smooth things over.

"Baoyu, how old are you, do you still want to compete with your little nephew for candy?" Wang Xifeng giggled: "Sister Lin is Lan'er's cousin, and she is an elder, so the meeting gift for my little nephew is naturally more generous. Already!" She gave Lin Daiyu a meaningful look, and said in her heart, looking at the gift, I've already explained it to you, so why don't you follow along?
