[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

It was late at night when we returned to the Lin Mansion. Qian Yi's wife was waiting outside the main courtyard. When she was summoned, she reported to Jia Min: "Madam, Mrs. Zhen sent someone to send a message to invite the two girls to come over to the house."

Jia Min took the post and unfolded it for a look, then casually put it aside.

Lin Ruhai was coming in from outside the house, signaling Qian Yi's daughter-in-law to go out; Jia Min got up when she heard the sound, saw Lin Ruhai frowning, and asked worriedly: "Master, but what happened?"

"Is it Mrs. Zhen's invitation card?" Lin Ruhai glanced at the invitation letter on the table, and asked her instead of answering.

"I met Mrs. Zhen on the way to Beijing." Jia Min nodded, his expression seemed a little hesitant, and then he told Lin Ruhai, "Sister Rong, implicitly expressed to me that she wanted to propose marriage to Yu'er for her second brother. I just shied away Said that Yu'er is still young, so I didn't mention it again." Now Mrs. Zhen came to invite her again, but Jia Min really didn't want to get involved in the muddy water of Zhen's family.

Lin Ruhai lowered his eyebrows and thought carefully, and said after a long while: "Sister Yan and Sister Yu are still young, and my original intention was to keep them for another four or five years. These things are not urgent. As for the Zhen family, we still need a wife." Make it clear to Mrs. Zhen, so that there will be no troubles in the future."

Only then did Jia Min show off his face: "That's exactly what I mean too!"

In the past, when he was in Yangzhou, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, but now he has to be extremely cautious when he arrives in the capital, if he makes a slight mistake and gets involved in this turmoil, he is afraid that he will end up in eternal doom.

Lin Ruhai had been conscientious and conscientious when he was released overseas. After returning to Beijing, he was sent by the emperor to be the deputy head of the Imperial Academy.Before Lin Ruhai was released, he was a Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. At that time, Feng Cong was the deputy head of the Hanlin Academy, and the head of the Academy was the father of Zhao Yue; It has been more than ten years.

Although the Imperial Academy is not directly in charge of affairs like the six ministries, it is better than that.

In the past few years, the battle between King Zhao and King Jin has intensified, and the situation in the capital has become more and more anxious. If it is in Liubu, it will inevitably be involved.

"Then at Zhen's house—" Jia Min looked at the invitation in embarrassment, a little worried, "When we first came back to Beijing, Mrs. Zhen came to invite us; Have a plan." Thinking of this, Jia Min was worried again, and asked Lin Ruhai what he meant, "Although I don't know much about those things outside, I have heard the master talk about it, so I am afraid that I will miss it."

Lin Ruhai understood her thoughts, so she nodded, "It's fine if you don't go. It's better than the Zhen family today and the Wen family tomorrow, and it will be difficult to do in the future."

Jia Min responded with a smile: "Then after I go to Qingping Temple to fulfill my vows, I will send their sisters to my mother's house for a few days, which is just to avoid them." The only thing that worried her was Baoyu, but her mother deliberately let her Brother Bao came into contact with the two sisters, and that brother Bao made Jia Min feel a little uneasy; but now compared to the Zhen family, Jia Min can't take both sides into account, thinking that at least there is no need for his mother to be there. There will be any mistakes, not to mention that Sister Yan and Sister Yu are both astute.

Yanyu went to Nanjia Courtyard with Daiyu.

A row of porcelain pots of different sizes were placed on the low shelf next to the tea table. The water was already boiled on the table. Daiyu poured some tea leaves from a smoky blue porcelain pot and put them on a milky white porcelain plate, and began to boil the tea. .

"I think you are a little absent-minded." Yanyu said when she sat across from her and saw her sister.

Daiyu concentrated on making tea, and she didn't even raise her head when she heard her sister's words, so she said sullenly: "Actually, when I first saw my second cousin, I also thought he was very kind."

Yanyu's heart was full of alarm bells, and she suspected that Fairy Jing Huan might have done something to Daiyu before she came down, but she couldn't tell Daiyu clearly, she could only say vaguely: "After all, she is the cousin of my grandfather's family. Brother. The elder cousin Zhu that we met before is the second cousin’s direct elder brother, so there may be some resemblance.”

Hearing what her sister said, Daiyu nodded in confidence after careful consideration, and muttered in a low voice, "Maybe so."

Yanyu breathed a sigh of relief, then followed the words: "I heard that cousin Zhu and sister-in-law have a brother called Lan Geer, but unfortunately I haven't seen him today. Cousin Zhu is as beautiful as Yushu." Lin Feng's person, his sister-in-law knows the book well, so Lan Ge'er must be a good boy."

As expected, Daiyu was distracted by Yanyu, and she sighed, "How can someone as good as Cousin Zhu be——the world is really impermanent."

"Who says it's not!" Yanyu said in a low voice, her eyes dimmed a bit.

The fragrance of tea was accompanied by the curling smoke, Daiyu poured a cup of tea for Yanyu, and said softly, "Sister, try this. The well water is clear and sweet. I tried to use it to make tea, but I don't know how it tastes."

Yanyu flicked the heat away, took a sip, and felt that it was very different from the tea she drank last time. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Yu'er's tea skills are getting better and better."

Daiyu also picked up the tea cup and sniffed lightly, but still shook her head and put it back on the tea table: "I feel that the fragrance of this tea is still not right!"

Yanyu persuaded her with a smile: "The way of tea art doesn't need to be too harsh to the extreme."

Daiyu was still fiddling with the teacup with her head down, and then she remembered to take out a jar of honey from the bottom shelf, scooped two spoonfuls, mixed it into the green tea and stirred it evenly, then poured another cup of tea and handed it to Yanyu: "Sister, try again." Taste this. Maybe the honey will make a difference."

"You asked me to taste the tea, but I tasted something different." Yanyu took the tea, but said to Daiyu seriously.

"Sister, I won't let you worry!" After all, they are twin girls, they can understand each other's thoughts with just a glance at ordinary times, how can Daiyu not know Yanyu's worry.

Yanyu picked up the tea and drank it slowly, the sweetness of honey spread from the tip of her tongue, mixed with the faint tea fragrance, it was also a warm taste.

After drinking two cups of tea, Yanyu returned to Moyiyuan from Huadaolang, followed her mother to grandparents' house for a day, and felt very tired when she came back.

Just worried about Jia Baoyu and Xiangu Jinghuan, Yanyu was still tossing and turning on the couch, feeling uneasy thinking about things in her heart.She would rather Fairy Zelan reappear and lure her to Lihen Tian, ​​just in time for her to confront Fairy Jing Huan and ask Fairy Jing Huan how she deliberately arranged for Jia Baoyu, who is related to Nuwa Stone, to come out.

In the middle of the night, Yuebai came in to change the lamp, saw Yanyu wake up leaning on the soft pillow, and if she was thinking, she poured a glass of water and said to Yanyu, "Miss."

Yanyu rubbed her temples, and only took two sips of warm water before lying down as usual.

During the night vigil, Yubai was dozing off in Baosha, Yanyu stared at the flickering lamp, and saw a complex shadow flashing past the curtain, but when she looked intently, there was no trace of it.

"Ze Lan?" Yan Yu suddenly got up and lifted the quilt, and asked in a low voice with some uncertainty.

"I heard you thinking about me, so I'm here." Fairy Zelan pushed aside the curtain and walked in slowly, speaking in a soft voice, as if she and Yanyu were old acquaintances who had a very good personal relationship; she smiled, Looking at Yanyu, "Jiangzhu, are you okay?"

Yanyu let out a sigh of relief and winked, auspicious and jealous

Fairy Zelan sat down on the edge of the collapse, talking about Gu Pu, porridge, strong, Ao, Qing, Meng, and Chen, but she didn't care about everything. "

Hearing this, Yanyu just thought it was funny: "But Jing Huan used the way of heaven to trick my sister down."

"I am Zelan Flower Fairy, originally under the jurisdiction of the Flower God. If you would like to listen to me more, I would also like to talk to you, even if it is for your sister." Fairy Zelan said casually But she said it seriously; because she has been working beside the head policeman of the Illusory Division, Fairy Huan, the gods in the Lihen Heaven have forgotten that she is also the flower fairy of the Hundred Flowers Division.

Yanyu looked at Fairy Zelan in puzzlement, but she nodded her head to express her willingness to listen to what she had to say.

Only then did Fairy Zelan regain her indifferent look: "Flower God is still practicing in seclusion, and Fairy Jinghuan is doing something behind her back. I came here under the pretense of working for Fairy Jinghuan, and I wanted to take you back to Baihua Division to clean up the mess; now But there is no need, the God of Flowers is about to leave the customs, everything will come naturally."

I thought it was the reason for Fairy Zelan's sudden appearance, but now Yanyu felt a little relieved; when the Flower God came out, the Flower God loved them all very much, and she didn't even dare to warn Fairy There is too much movement like before.

Just wait for their sisters to finish their lives in this world smoothly, and then return to Lihentian, which can be regarded as avoiding the conspiracy of Fairy Jinghuan.

"Sister Zelan." Yan Yucai showed a friendly attitude towards Fairy Zelan, and asked her, "You are with Fairy Jinghuan, do you know if she has touched Nuwa's sky-repairing stone?"

Now that she met Jia Baoyu, Yanyu decided to ask Fairy Zelan about it.

She saw it very clearly, everyone said that Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth, and she saw clearly that the piece of jade was a sky-replenishing stone smelted by Nu Wa, and the marks on it were indeed the seal cast by Fairy Jing Huan.

Fairy Zelan was obviously at a loss, as if she didn't know about this matter. After thinking for a long time, she had some impressions: "If you talk about the Mending Stone, I remember something. There was a monk who came to the police with a broken stone before. Fairy Huan, said that it was the sky-replenishing stone that was left by the Nuwa Empress at the foot of Qinggeng Peak in the past. Now that she has cultivated spiritual wisdom, she wants to ask Fairy for a favor so that he can enter the reincarnation disk and go to the world to be a rich man. Being rich and noble, Xiangu agreed to this matter."

In this way, it is almost inseparable.

Yan Yu just thought it was ridiculous, Fairy Jing Huan wanted to sell favors to arrange a reincarnation opportunity for that Heaven-Bending Stone, why bother to bring her sister to join the opportunity with that Heaven-Bending Stone?

However, in front of Fairy Zelan, Yanyu only sneered: "It is a sky-replenishing stone, and it is also a fairy weapon. If you are lucky enough to cultivate spiritual wisdom, you should work hard to cultivate to become a fairy as soon as possible, so as not to ignore Nuwa Empress If you want to come to the world to be a useless rich and idle person, isn't it a failure to live up to the law of heaven?"

Fairy Zelan also said coldly with disdain: "It is said that it is a Nuwa stone, but it is just a useless thing for mending the sky. Even if it is a coincidence, it is just a fool. This chance to ascend to the Tao Not everyone can have it.”
