[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

The snow fell harder and harder.

When Lin Yu arrived at Zhang's house, Mrs. Zhang had already ordered her confidant maid Ban Xia to wait at the side door with an umbrella.Seeing the Lin family's carriage coming, he asked Ann through the curtain to sit down.He ordered the boy to untie the horse from the harness and lead it away.He also called the woman behind him to lift the pole and pull the car inside.It wasn't until the sedan chair was prescribed in the backyard that the sedan chair was already smoky and warm, and Lin Yu couldn't feel a trace of cool air while sitting.

"Calm down, don't let Master Biao fall." Ban Xia stared closely at the woman who carried the sedan chair. In the past, it was not the old lady's turn to do such a job when she was traveling.But here, this old lady, I'm afraid the old lady is more serious than herself, and it's not an exaggeration to send her here, and she can't be too serious.

"Sister Banxia." Ling Zhi, who got out of the car at the gate and followed him all the time, smiled at Banxia, ​​showing a small canine tooth.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the old woman, Ban Xia took her hand and said with a smile: "Little Ganoderma lucidum, let me see, ouch, it has grown quite a bit taller."

The two big maids who haven't seen each other for half a year are holding hands, one said Bai Shu read you and brought you this, the other said I also thought about keeping that, so whoever went out remembers you, chirping endless.Sitting in the sedan chair, Lin Yu leaned her head and listened to the name of the traditional Chinese medicine. She couldn't help laughing. It was probably a habit brought by her mother's family. To name a maidservant, she just searched the herbal medicine, which was very cheap.

When he was in front of the hanging flower gate, Ban Xia said, "Press the sedan chair." Lin Yu didn't want anyone to help him, so he lifted the heavy car curtain in winter and walked out. Ban Xia hurriedly raised the umbrella to cover his head, and gave himself to Being exposed in the snow, Lingzhi hurriedly stepped forward to cover the two of them.

"I forgot about the snow." Lin Yu walked into the Hanging Flower Gate in three steps at a time, and said with a smile, "It's so hard for you to fall."

Ban Xia put away the umbrella, took the Ganoderma lucidum and handed it to the servant girl standing beside her, saying: "With just such a little snow, how can it be so delicate?"

Lin Yu smiled and glanced at Ganoderma lucidum. She knew it, and got up with her smiling sisters on her arm.He didn't like to pay too much attention to such things, gathered the cloak on his body, and walked forward.

If I don't walk this road seven or eight times in a year, I'm already familiar with it.After entering the door, before he could bend down to salute, Mrs. Zhang hugged her in her arms, touched the little hair on her head, and smiled at a woman on the side: "It can be regarded as giving this little golden boy to you." Looking forward to it."

Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry for a while, that's why he didn't like to tie any buns. On the one hand, he was childish, and on the other hand, he really satisfied the bad tastes of adults.

When Lin Yu came, it was already past the time to say hello, but he glanced over, and at this time, no one of the younger generation was left in the big room of Mrs. Zhang.After saluting one by one, he asked Zhang Cong, the biggest official, "Why didn't you go to school?" Uncle Zhang was very strict, and he was not an outsider who came and went frequently, so there was no need to leave school just because he came. .

Sure enough, Zhang Cong said with the expression of the rest of his life after a catastrophe, "Mr. has a visitor today, so I took half a day off." He still has a big character that he hasn't practiced yet, but fortunately he has this half day's respite, or he has to suffer from the ruler No.

As soon as Lin Yu rolled his eyes, he knew that he probably had yet to finish his homework, but he just smiled in front of so many people and didn't go into it further.

"My little Yu'er." Holding Lin Yu in her arms, Mrs. Zhang stroked his jade-white face and said with a smile, "Besides filial piety, we have to study seriously, and go to school with your brother in the afternoon ?”

This is probably another reason why Lin Yu is reluctant to come to Zhang's house. The nickname Xiao Yu'er always makes him feel that there is a scar missing on his face.It's a pity that no one in this world can understand this stalk except him.

A little lonely.

The round-faced woman next to her leaned forward slightly, and flattered her with a smile: "That's right, my brother is smart, I've read books a long time ago, and I don't know if I will win a prize in the Toad Palace in the future."

"Second aunt's compliments." Lin Yu only acted shyly, and leaned behind Old Madam Zhang.This woman is the original wife of his cheap second uncle, surnamed Sun, she usually has a round face, loves to smile and flatters, and she has no bad intentions, so she has always been regarded as a face in front of the old lady.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhang put her arms around Lin Yu and laughed. Just as she was about to talk, she heard another person say: "It stands to reason that the gentleman sitting in our house is very knowledgeable, and there are many people outside who want to come to apprentice, Brother Yu." Is it disrespectful to follow so quietly?"

So, if there are many people, it will not be pure.Lin Yu sighed in his heart, raised his eyes, and saw that the old lady Zhang's complexion was pale, so she smiled and said: "The third aunt is right, but I just happened to get a good inkstone today, and I can use it to make repairs with my husband. Isn't it elegant?" . " Saying that, he was about to call Ganoderma lucidum, which had put away his things.

The old lady Zhang patted Lin Yu's hand, just smiled at the bottom and said, "Look, this is everyone's demeanor, I can't blame me for loving him." Then she said, "Grandma has already prepared it, how can I teach you a Take out the children's every family, and keep it for yourself."

Lin Yu said indifferently: "What's the matter, it's just an inkstone." After all, Ganoderma lucidum was added.

Seeing that he persisted, the old lady did not refuse, she just smiled at Mrs. Sun and said, "I often say that although people like us dare not talk about rich and noble families, this thing is not bad. The most important thing is this one The word "gift", otherwise, even if you have saved a box full of gold and silver, it will be nothing more than the word "copper stink." After speaking, Lin Yu's third aunt turned pale for a while, but no one paid any attention to her.

"It's weird to talk about etiquette. My brother comes from a scholarly family. Even a bunch of repairs is better than me looking for gold and silver ingots." Sun hurriedly added that her natal family was also a businessman. My family took some salt and sold official salt for a living.He can't compare to the big salt merchant in his family, but he is also the owner of the rich in this family.

Immediately following the words below, he praised him endlessly.Mrs. Zhang didn't even look at the ugly-faced Mrs. Wu. This third daughter-in-law spoke too many harsh words, and she couldn't care less about it.Seeing that the grandchildren couldn't sit still, and fearing that Lin Yunian in his arms would not be praised for his thin skin, he hurriedly ordered his elder brother Zhang Cong to take his brothers and sisters back to the house.

Zhang Cong longed for the sound, and dragged Lin Yu to the back room in a hurry.

The snow in the south of the Yangtze River was extremely heavy. When Lin Yu and the others came out, it was already much smaller than before, but the sky was still cloudy.Zhang Cong clicked his tongue in regret when he saw that there was a light layer of silver snow in front of him.

The eldest girl Zhang Yao laughed at him: "Brother, are you still thinking about ruining this snow field? What about homework?" She is the second wife, the daughter of a round-faced Sun family's first relative, and she is the most fair and straightforward, and all sisters and sisters obey her.

"It's just a big character, and it takes half a quarter of an hour. What are you afraid of?" Zhang Cong said nonchalantly, looking at the ground with his head stretched out, as if he wanted to step on it.

"Let's sit down for a while, An Sheng. We will have lunch in a while, and you can go after eating." Zhang Yao brought the youngest little sister, and the two silent second girls, third girls, and Lin Yu in the fourth room After a short greeting, I will go first.

Zhang Xiaomei was not happy anymore, she grabbed the elder sister's skirt, looked at Lin Yu eagerly, and said Nuonuo, "I still want to play with Cousin Lin."

Lin Yu, who really doesn't know how to coax children, touched his body and said that he didn't bring any fun things—that's right, he didn't even want to wear a jade ring. How did she come to be comfortable, but she didn't want to save face when she went out, at least she was caught by Bai Shu and brought a zodiac pendant.He wanted to untie it, but he didn't know how Bai Shu got around it, but he couldn't.

Zhang Yao hurriedly touched the top of the little girl's hair, took the pastry and coaxed her to leave.Zhang Xiaomei turned her head and told Lin Yu as she walked, "Come and play with me!"

All the maids, big and small, behind the girls laughed.

The sisters and the maids around them all left. In the third room, Zhang Huan and Zhang Wen glanced at each other. Seeing that Zhang Cong didn't pay attention to this side, the two came over and apologized to Lin Yu: "Cousin Yu , mother is just sincere, not intentional, my brother will accompany you, don't take it to heart."

Lin Yu leaned away, not letting the two brothers' manners come to the fore, and comforted him: "It's my first time here, so don't be an outsider." The flowers were not hers, she could be in pain for a long time, and the words she said were not pleasant, Lin Yu was in no mood to care about such a woman in the backyard.

"That's exactly what I said." Zhang Cong turned around at some point, grabbed Lin Yu's small shoulders, and said, "I have something to do with taking my cousin to the study outside, so you just go and play." Zhang Huan Zhang Minonuo Agreed, and followed Zhang Yao's footsteps and walked far.

Zhang Li from the second room, Zhang Yao's older brother, who was as obedient as his mother, pointed out something and left in a hurry.

Lin Yu and Zhang Cong didn't bother, as the so-called difference between concubine and concubines, Lin Yu himself was better. After all, he came from modern times and generally didn't care about these things, but they couldn't get over this hurdle by themselves.Although the brothers are harmonious, the others always think that they are the sons of the concubines, unlike Zhang Conglin Yu, the cousins ​​who are the sons of the concubine and are serious blood relations, and treat themselves as outsiders first.

Zhang Cong is used to this, or he thinks so too.

"Where's Brother Jue?" Lin Yu wanted to ask before. He wanted to ask in the hall just now, but he was confused by a distraction, so he asked Zhang Cong.

Zhang Cong grinned, and said: "This kid got into a big disaster a while ago, and he secretly ordered him to buy firecrackers and almost blinded himself. Although he is fine now, he is forced by his father to ground him in the ancestral hall. Every day he only has green vegetables. Tofu and rice, I have to do a lot of homework, it's very pitiful."

"I'm afraid that even grandma and aunt didn't speak for him this time." Lin Yu laughed.

Zhang Cong pulled Lin Yu, nodded and said, "That's right, he's too good at scouring. He just plays with firecrackers casually? I don't care how old he is." He added, "Don't worry about him. There are old servants in the ancestral hall to take care of them, so they won’t be hungry or cold, so it’s good to be taught a lesson.”

Lin Yu looked at the hand being held by him, and said meaningfully: "It can be seen that I can say this with rich experience."
