Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Lin Daiyu and Jia's sisters are walking in the Begonia forest.She was in a bad mood and hadn't joked much with people.Sanchun and Baochai also knew her heart knot, and never mentioned anything related to the Lin family. They talked about the scenery of Nan'an Palace with each other, and tried their best to dilute her thoughts.

But it wasn't just the Rongguo Mansion's family who came to the banquet today, the voices of the girls next to them were still faintly heard through the flowers and trees next to them.

"Hey, have you seen the dress on Mr. Lin Xiang's body? The patterns on it shine in the sun, and the luster flows. It's really beautiful! It's a gift from the palace!"

"That string of emerald beads is so green that it can drip water! My mother also has a string similar to this one, but it's not as transparent!"

"Hmph, it's just some things outside the body. People like us, why should we take these vulgar things to heart!" The tone sounded a little resentful.

"No matter how expensive the clothes and jewelry are, they are limited, so we naturally don't care. But haven't you heard that they were rewarded by the palace, and it's rare to be so decent!" Someone retorted.

"What's decent? The Wilderbo family made their fortune suddenly. They were just ordinary people. If it wasn't for the fact that the son of the family had won the exam and had some skills, how could he reach the sky in one step and be on a par with us?"

"Don't gossip behind your back, be careful of being overheard. Miss Yi'an from the Lin family is a country monarch conferred by the imperial court, she is better than us! Among us, no one has any rank!"

"So what about Mr. Xiang, who is just a countryman, how can he compare with a family like ours? Doesn't our family have a few generations of inheritance?"

"Why do you need to say that, sisters, let's enjoy the scenery. As expected of the palace, the scenery is really extraordinary!"

"Yeah, yeah, let's stop talking and walk around!" Most people don't want to get involved in this verbal dispute, and they are about to leave the place of right and wrong.

Suddenly, a clear and soft voice came: "Sister, it seems that my Lin family is not in your eyes?"

Lin Daiyu's heart trembled, what was this voice?She couldn't help but spared the flower forest and went out to have a look.Sanchun and Xue Baochai looked at each other and followed.

Sure enough, it was Yi'an!She only had two personal maids with her, smiling and looking at the woman opposite, she was bright and charming, generous, and the pearls on her earrings were shining brightly.

"Then, I don't know which noble daughter my sister is from. Maybe you can clear up my confusion for a countryman like me?"

Compared with Yi An, the girl across the street was much inferior in appearance and clothing.She was caught in the act, her face was ugly, she looked at Yi'an, feeling ashamed and jealous.

"My surname is Shi, and I belong to the Duke of Shan State." She said in a haughty tone, putting on the airs of the Duke of Shan.

"Could it be that you are the daughter of the Second Household of Duke Shanguo?" Yi'an has a good memory, remembering that Duke Shanguo's family had intended to get married, isn't the person they proposed to be the daughter of the Second Household, could it be the girl in front of him?

Seeing the doubt in Yi'an's eyes, Miss Shi became even angrier. She raised her head high and said, "That's right, your Lin family is a small family with no roots like ours, so what you said is wrong?"

Yi'an raised her eyebrows and glanced at Miss Shi, then smiled and said, "My brother once taught me that things outside of me are not enough to be proud of ourselves, let alone despise others because of it. Only talent and virtue are the most reliable things to rely on."

"Hehe" Miss Shi sneered, curled her lips, using such a great truth to put gold on her face, she was about to say a few more words of sarcasm.

Before Miss Shi could open her mouth, Yi An calmly said, "But since Sister Shi has said so, I have no choice but to argue with you and argue about this external thing. Because I am the daughter of the Lin family, I cannot allow others to despise my family. !"

"My Lin family is a family in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a scholarly family. It has been a scholar for more than ten generations. My ancestors also inherited the title of Marquis for five generations. Of course, the Lin family is not as powerful as the Duke's Mansion. How dare you ask Sister Shi, the door of your mansion?" The first must be nobler than the Lin family, right?"——Yi'an would often listen to his father proudly talk about the history of the Lin family.In this society, everything is inferior, but reading is high, and the scholarly family is highly respected.Even if there is no real power, it will make people look up to three points.Aon is naturally proud of this.As for the Shi family, hehe, she heard what her brother said.

"You!" Miss Shi gritted her teeth and said nothing.The Shi family got the title because they followed the late emperor to conquer the world and made military exploits.Originally, he was just an ordinary farmer, clinking poor. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have escaped death and joined the army, risking his life to gain wealth.After the world was stabilized, both the imperial court and the people valued literature over martial arts, and Wu Xun's status declined again and again.What's more, even in the four kings and eight kilometers, the Shi family can't be regarded as top-notch.

The girls of the Jia family were also silent.The first generation of Duke Rong also made his fortune in this way.In terms of background, it is similar to the Shi family.This is also the case with the martial arts of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.The ancestors used to say, our family, but three generations ago, the Jia family was just common people, not enough to boast to others.

Lin Daiyu was greatly shocked when she heard Yi'an's words.When she was a child, she often listened to her mother talk about how rich and extraordinary the Rongguo Mansion was, which left a deep impression on her bones.Therefore, when she first entered Jia's mansion, she was cautious everywhere and always cautious, not daring to take half a step further, not daring to say a word, for fear of embarrassing herself.But could it be that the Lin family is so noble that they don't need to look up to the Jia family?There was an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she felt ashamed of herself at the time.

"It's true that my father was a commoner, but he was granted the title of Lord White by the emperor's grace. Naturally, the uncle is not as good as the Duke, and he is two levels behind. It's just," Yi'an was very puzzled, humbly Ask for advice: "I don't know what title Miss Shi's father will inherit, Duke of Shan, or Marquis of Shan?"

"Oh, no matter what it is, it is taller than my father!"

Immediately, Miss Shi burst into tears. Her father is the second son, and he is destined to be a white body in the future. How can he inherit the title?This Lin girl has a really poisonous mouth!

"Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement!" Yi'an continued to smile and said: "My father was originally from a commoner, but he worked hard on his own. He passed the age and passed the exam. He was also appreciated by the emperor for his diligence. I My elder brother is a Jinshi in high school. He has devoted his energy and wisdom to the court and the people, and has done some deeds. Therefore, by the grace of the emperor, at the age of 20, he has achieved the official position of the fourth rank." After finishing speaking, Yi An used his eyes Asking Miss Shi, there was a playful look in her eyes.The meaning is obvious: what about your father and brother, can they do the same?Say it!

Miss Shi's hands trembled.Her father was mediocre, cowardly and incompetent, so he was not liked by her grandfather at home.My brother is also incompetent, unable to read books, so he can only rely on his grandfather's face to get a job in the army, and his grade is not high.Compared with Yi'an's father and brother, that is a world of difference.

Because of this, when she heard that her family intended to talk about this marriage for her, she was full of longing, thinking that she would live a better life in the future.Unexpectedly, the Lin family ruthlessly rejected her, which made her feel disappointed and resentful. At this moment, being slapped in the face by Yi'an in public was even more irritating.

All of a sudden, she didn't choose what to say, she said angrily: "What are you proud of, that's not your real brother!"

The audience fell silent, and their eyes couldn't help but focus on Yi'an and Miss Shi.Those who knew the inside story secretly looked at the sisters of the Jia family.Lin Daiyu's complexion was pale and her body was crumbling.Sanchun and Xue Baochai looked at each other with embarrassing expressions.

Immediately, Yi'an suppressed her smile and turned cold. That cold demeanor was very similar to that of Lin Ming'an.She looked at Miss Shi and said word by word: "Miss Shi, even if you haven't read a book, you should know patriarchal ethics. Now that you are adopted, why don't you say that you are a relative? You are so targeting the Lin family, is it because the Lin family didn't agree?" A marriage proposal from the Duke's Mansion?"

"Is this something you, a girl, can say?" Miss Shi said with a trembling voice, "I really have no tutor and no rules!"

"Rules?" Yi'an sneered: "When it comes to rules, I am a country lord conferred by the emperor, but you have no rank. According to the rules, you have to salute to me! Miss Shi, you have to follow the rules. Of course I want to fulfill you!"

Yi'an picked a stone chair and sat down, with a cold smile on his lips, he said, "Miss Shi, now, you can salute!"

"You, you!" Miss Shi pointed at Yi'an, trembling for a long time, then suddenly sobbed, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, stomped her feet, turned and ran away by herself.

The girls onlookers all whispered and dispersed, and Yi'an knew from the words of others that the girl from Jia's family was also nearby, and that Lin Daiyu was with Sanchun and others.After a moment of hesitation, she stepped forward to meet him.

"Hello, sisters, sister Daiyu!" She whispered softly, saluted, and looked at Lin Daiyu carefully at the same time.That is really a delicate and melancholy beautiful girl who is so delicate and beautiful. She is very lovable.

"Sister Yi'an!" Lin Daiyu returned the salute, looking at Yi'an's radiant face with complicated emotions.

Sanchun and others greeted Yi'an briefly, then walked away tactfully, leaving room for Lin Daiyu and Yi'an to talk in private.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's gloomy complexion, Yi'an must have heard what she just said. Thinking of the entanglement between her brother and Lin Ruhai, she really didn't know how to speak.After hesitating for a while, he comforted Lin Daiyu and said, "Sister Daiyu, you don't have to mind. What happened between uncle, aunt and elder brother has nothing to do with you, he doesn't blame you!"

After thinking for a while, he said again: "My brother is really too busy, sometimes he can't go home for a few days. When he is free in the future, I will invite sister Daiyu to come to my house as a guest and get to know the family."

Yi'an said so, but felt uneasy in his heart.She knew Lin Ming'an's attitude towards Lin Daiyu, so she didn't want to blame Lin Daiyu, because Lin Daiyu was innocent and did nothing wrong, but she also didn't want to get involved with her.She watched from the side. On the one hand, my brother couldn't get over this hurdle because of his own background; on the other hand, he was also very afraid that because of Lin Daiyu, the Jia family would get involved with him.For some reason, my brother seems to be very firm in his belief that the Jia family will definitely fall, and it will be a great trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, Yi An felt a little regretful.She won't cause trouble for her brother, will she?

However, Lin Daiyu declined her kindness.

"No need!" Lin Daiyu shook her head and said softly, "Yi'an, thank you! However, I have no right to bother your brother. It is my parents who are sorry for him! I am already very grateful for what you have done for me!"

She was sensitively aware of Yi An's embarrassment at that moment.Between Lin Mingan and her, there will not be no grievances, only embarrassment.Why should it be so?She is aloof and arrogant, and she doesn't want to post it to ask for help. This is too ugly, everyone should keep a little dignity!

Yi'an could only sigh deeply, and comforted Lin Daiyu.Although she sympathizes with Lin Daiyu, knowing that she is not very comfortable in Jia's house.But obviously, her brother Lin Mingan was countless times more important than her, and Yi'an didn't want to embarrass and displease her brother because of Lin Daiyu.Fortunately, Lin Daiyu is also taken care of by the emperor, the Jia family should not dare to go too far.

After talking to each other, a servant girl from the palace came to report that the stage of the flower hall had been set up, Princess Nan'an invited all the girls to listen to the opera, today invited a famous troupe.

The two walked back to the flower hall slowly.Lin Daiyu saw that the Sanchun sisters and Xue Baochai had already taken their seats, and two people were talking in the seats next to them.One is Miss Shi from just now, and the other is an acquaintance. She has met Shi Xiangyun a few times, the niece of the two historians, and the grandniece of the grandmother.
