[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

The Great Zhou dynasty had been established for more than a hundred years. Although it started with martial arts, the court valued martial arts over culture because of the great power of the four kings and eight princes. However, the restraint on women, especially those in the boudoir, was still inherited from the previous dynasty.

Except for the general women who have a little freedom, the folk women are forced by life, and they can go to the streets occasionally. Sometimes they don't have to be too particular, and they don't even need to wear curtains and hats.After all, the Great Zhou Chongwu, the folk customs are still a little more open than the previous dynasty.

But for the old aristocratic family from the previous dynasty, the rules in this boudoir are difficult to break.It is common for women to read and practice calligraphy in the scholarly family, but if they want to read those wild essays and love sketches, they will be regarded as not doing their job properly, and they will even be considered as unworthy behaviors, which are strictly prohibited.

Lin Ruhai was upright by nature, when he was around, he would never ask Lin Daiyu to read a book like Xiaolin Guangji.Lin Ruhai always loves elegance, and raised Lin Daiyu to be like him. She loves romance and reads more poems. Lin Daiyu grew up to 16 years old. Except for reading a few love novels with Jia Baoyu in her early years, she has never touched these miscellaneous books. .

——Speaking of those romance novels, it was Jia Baoyu who secretly read them and she found out that she followed them out of curiosity, but Xue Baochai deliberately caught her when she said something slipped, and she even came here to remind her. She hasn't seen those things since.

Jia Baoyu knew she was still secretly looking at her, but Lin Daiyu was afraid that she would change her temperament as Xue Baochai said, and she was also afraid that she had seen too much love affairs and polluted her mind. Since then, she never mentioned it to Jia Baoyu again. these things.

The Yu family is a scholarly family of the Zanying family, which is indeed similar to their Lin family's background.But the Yu family has never been in decline like the Lin family. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Yu family has been highly valued. During the Chengsheng period, the Yu family has even become the leader of the aristocratic Hanlin.

Lin Daiyu had heard the sisters in the garden talk earlier, saying that many aristocratic families in Dazhou have long since broken the rules. The children in the family can not only read elegant and regular books, but also those wild miscellaneous notes or romance novels on the market that can catch the eye. The children read it and opened their eyes.

Of course, not everyone can read it, and only those with a determined mind and a determined temperament can read it, otherwise it is a bad thing.

Lin Daiyu had long heard that Concubine Yu Guifei was knowledgeable and eclectic. Now, after looking through her wild miscellaneous notes and some self-created sketches, she realized that the Yu family really put a lot of effort into cultivating this eldest daughter. She just flipped through it and saw In just a few words, I found out that Concubine Yu Gui is really a kind-hearted woman.

Concubine Yu's notes are unique in style, humorous and witty in writing, but she has a deep sense of composure in her writing. At a glance, she can tell that she has dabbled in books since she was a child and has never given up on reading.Even a few words can make Lin Daiyu smile knowingly.Lin Daiyu looked at it, and felt that these words did not seem to be written by Concubine Yu Gui in her boudoir, but rather written by a calm old man who has experienced a lot of things in the world.

Clearly see through the world, but full of curiosity about things in the world.

Lin Daiyu flipped through Concubine Yu's reading notes. She just wanted to take a rough look at them, but she had read all the books that Concubine Yu had read, and there were some that she hadn't. Concubine Yu had a unique opinion. I completely forgot myself for a while, and slowly read it into a fascination.

Lin Jian tried his best to get the things, copied them again and brought them to Rongguo Mansion to give to Lin Daiyu. He originally hoped that Lin Daiyu would bring her joy when seeing these things.

Now seeing her liking her so much and watching her so intently, Lin Jian felt that all his thoughts were not in vain.

Lin Daiyu looked demure and gentle while reading a book. Lin Jian felt that she looked very good-looking, and he couldn't bear to disturb her, so he just sat there with a smile on his face, quietly admiring Lin Daiyu's beautiful and slender silhouette under the lamp.

The autumn wind is blowing outside the house, and there is a rustling sound from the wind and bamboo shaking. There are clumps of plantains under the porch, covering a piece of greenery, and the moonlight is like frost. Flowing slowly in this tranquility like running water, for a moment, Lin Jian really hoped that this peaceful and beautiful moment could be preserved forever.

But someone didn't wink, rushed in and broke the rare tranquility of this room.

"Miss Lin, our second master asked me to bring something to the girl."

The person who came was a pretty maid.Lin Jian didn't recognize this maid, but Lin Daiyu did. It was Qingwen who was beside Jia Baoyu.

Zijuan went up to greet her, Lin Daiyu also put down the brochure to look at Qingwen, Lin Jian frowned slightly when he saw this scene, he turned his head and looked outside the door, Qian Ying had already arrived at the door, he knew he was negligent, and was standing outside the house with his hands down.

Lin Jian lowered his eyebrows slightly and asked him, "What's going on?"

It was rare for him to visit Lin Daiyu, so he ordered Qian Ying to guard the door, and refused to let Ping'er in, just wanting to have a quiet talk with Lin Daiyu.Who knew that Qian Ying was so useless that even a maid couldn't stop her.

Before Qian Ying could speak, Qing Wen heard this and said first, "Master Hou, I was reckless in this matter. But it's because our second master misses Miss Lin, so I just thought about how busy I am these few days. Come to see the girl in person, and ordered me to bring some new gadgets to Miss Lin."

"Because the second master told me to deliver the things to the girl with my own hands, and I will not finish the job until the girl picks it up. I dare not live up to our second master's entrustment. Please forgive me."

It was indeed at Jia Baoyu's behest that Qingwen came here at this time.

Jia Baoyu was busy with schoolwork these few days, so he couldn't come to see Lin Daiyu. He was worried that he wanted to come to deliver things just now, but was stopped by Jia Mu.

Jia Baoyu couldn't come by himself, but he heard that Jia Lian instructed Ping'er to lead Lin Jian to visit Lin Daiyu.Jia Baoyu felt a little unhappy in his heart. He wanted to come here at first, but Mrs. Wang happened to ask him for something again, so he couldn't come here, so he hurriedly packed his new gadgets and asked Qingwen to give them to him. Come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and then go to Mrs. Wang's.

It was because Jia Baoyu thought Qingwen was clever when he asked Qingwen to come over, so he insisted that Qingwen go in and see what Lin Daiyu and Lin Jian were doing.After all, after Lin Daiyu came back from Gusu this time, Jia Baoyu sensitively noticed that Lin Daiyu's attitude towards him seemed to have changed slightly from before.

Although Jia Baoyu has a good relationship with the sisters in the garden, he thinks he is the closest to Lin Daiyu. He has always felt that Lin Daiyu should not care about those sisters who are outside the three roads. Now, seeing Lin Daiyu getting closer to this little Lin Xiaohou who was killed halfway, Jia Baoyu is not very happy in his heart.

He loved Lin Daiyu so much that he always wanted to know how Lin Daiyu and Lin Jian got along.He really couldn't figure it out, this young master Lin was so indifferent, how could his younger sister Lin get closer to this young master of the Lin family?

Qingwen has been entrusted by Jia Baoyu, and she has always had an unruly temperament, relying on her own temperament in everything, she is also spoiled by Jia Baoyu, everyone respects Lin Jian, but she thinks that the young master of the Lin family is not What's the matter, she came here at the order of Second Master Bao, even if Qian Ying stopped her, she would definitely bring something in with her.

Ping'er was not good at helping Qingwen, let alone Qian Ying. She stopped Qingwen from going in, so she had to stand by. Qingwen has an unforgiving temper. The words were a bit unpleasant, Qian Ying listened in a daze, and Qingwen took advantage of this moment to barge in.

Qian Ying got angry thinking about Qingwen's words, and then chased in with a sullen face.Seeing Lin Jian, although Lin Jian didn't blame him, but the seriousness in his eyes made Qian Ying blame herself.

Lin Jian's gaze shifted from Qian Ying to Qing Wen. He glanced at Qing Wen indifferently, but waved his hand at Qian Ying. Qian Ying understood, pursed her lips and silently stood by the door with her hands down.

Lin Jian withdrew the fleeting glance that fell on Qingwen, he ignored Qingwen at all, lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the teacup by himself, gently lifted the lid, opened his lips and gently blew on the tea to float up Tea foam, the whole person is as cold as the bright moon in the sky.

Bringing tea to the guests meant that Lin Jian didn't take Qingwen seriously at all.

Through the previous contact, Zijuan knew a little bit about Lin Jian's temper, and knew that it meant that Lin Xiaohou was unhappy. She hurriedly put the things Qingwen sent on the table, and said that it was late at night. Lu mainly sent the little maid to take Qingwen back.

Qingwen was ignored by Lin Jian, but she didn't have a fit. The errand was done, and she didn't plan to stay for a long time, but her eyes, which looked a little like Lin Daiyu's, turned around in the room. Seeing Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu sitting and talking, it seemed At the table, Lin Daiyu seemed to have some books hidden under her sleeves.

Qingwen secretly took note of the scene in the house, and then followed Zijuan out of the house, and said with a smile that there was no need for anyone to see her off, so she took the lantern and left.

Even Zijuan could see Lin Jian's displeasure, so how could Lin Daiyu not?

She didn't know that Qingwen would come here at night, and she thought that Lin Jian would be upset because Qingwen would see those books. The books were hidden under the sleeves.

She called Lin Jian as third brother, and was about to explain to Lin Jian, when she saw the cold-looking man put down the teacup, and when he looked up at her, the coldness had already faded away, and a gentle smile slowly emerged from his eyes.

"It's so late, and the second son is still sending people to deliver things to the girl. It seems that these newly acquired things are extremely precious. Don't Miss Lin take a look?"

If you savor it carefully, you can still savor it, Lin Jian's tone was quite sour.
