[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles
Chapter 44 Chess Game
Hong Yun smiled and looked up, seeing a piece of crystal clear and fair skin, like warm white jade, exuding a layer of moist pearl.Picturesque eyebrows, a pair of eyes that seem to be talking are looking at him like crescent moons.
"Say what you want to say."
Hong Yun, who was choking on Daiyu's words, almost didn't bring it up, quickly stood up, made a deep bow first, and said: "I was lured by Hongxiang from the Ninth Emperor's family to see you and Baoyu. Then come out of the teahouse, but I know you are all right."
"If you believe that we are fine, you don't need my explanation. What's more, I have nothing to explain." Daiyu's face was a little proud, Baoyu is not good in every way, this time for her, it can be said that he has betrayed himself My mother, she will definitely accept this love.Since she is sympathetic, she will not publicize this matter, even if Hong Yun is reliable.
"I believe." Hong Yun was very straightforward. Although sister Lin is a woman, she has her own pride. If he believes her, he shouldn't try it.
Picking up the fruit wine that was just delivered, "I will punish myself with three cups, and I will never do this again."
"I'll accompany you for three cups. I will ask you directly if I have anything to do. I will believe what you say. It's just that it's not easy to trust people. If you deceive each other once, you will be strangers in this life." Daiyu raised her glass, her eyes clear Like water, there is both tenderness and stubbornness in his eyes.
"In this life, if I say a word of deceit to you, I will die with a broken heart." After finishing speaking, Daiyu drank the wine in her glass, and Daiyu didn't even have a chance to stop her.
Putting down the wine glass, she saw that Daiyu's hand was still resting on the table, shining like the finest white porcelain.Hong Yun couldn't help stretching out his fingers and hooking her fingertips.Sure enough, it was delicate and smooth, like a piece of warm jade, directly warming his heart.
The most wonderful thing is that Daiyu didn't push him away, but just gave him a look, and turned to look at the peony garden below.He took more courage to hold her hand in his palm, just like holding the most precious treasure in the world.
"Sister Lin, I picked a peony for you. It's the most beautiful. Let's see if it's beautiful." Ulan ran in with the peony in the first place, followed by the food delivery man.
Hong Yun felt his palm burn, like a small fish slipped out of his palm.Daiyu's hand has been retracted, and she is taking the flower in Ulan's hand and praising it.
"I'll put it on for you." Ulan pinned it on her hair. The pink and delicate petals set off the girl's bright eyebrows and eyes.There was a romantic charm, and Hong Yun stood there in a daze.
"They didn't let me pick it, so they gave me one after citing Uncle Jiu's name." As soon as Wulan said Daiyu, she understood that this peony garden belonged to Master Jiu.
"Miss, that boy from the Shi family is across the street." When Daiyu went downstairs to the carriage, Xingguo went to help her and whispered this sentence.
"Don't worry about it." He said he didn't care, but finally lifted the curtain of the car window and took a look.Shi Yuan was like a puppet without a soul, standing across the street blankly, looking at her carriage.
When Daiyu came home, Jia Min was flipping through the gift list. When she saw her daughter, she raised her voice and said, "It's just in time to come back. Shi Leiyun's wedding is just a few days away. Mother Su helped make the gift list. You can also take a look." .”
"I think Grandma Su is very thoughtful, so let's do it this way, find a grandma with brighter eyes to give gifts, so as not to fall into the historian's pit and not get out."
"Our Daiyu is right, let Su Momo deliver it in person." Jia Min chuckled lightly, and handed the gift list back to Su Momo.
In addition to being comprehensive, the gift list made by the servant must leave room for the host to add by himself in order to show affection.But none of the two masters said to add makeup, and the young lady had already stated in one sentence that no one in the family would add makeup to the Miss Shijia, so Nanny Su knew what attitude she should use.
According to historians, the family status is higher than that of Jia's family, but these years, the big guys have watched with cold eyes. These honorable families are extremely neglected today.There is a title in the sky, and the booklets for the title of the crown prince are handed over every year and will not be issued every year.What does it mean? No one dares to make unreasonable comments, but there is an account in mind.
After Shi Xiangyun got married, it was Shi Yuan's wedding day, and after three days of returning home, Jia Qin only went to Rongguo Mansion to kowtow to the old lady.
On the way back, Shi Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Aren't you going to visit the Lin Mansion? She is also your aunt."
This aunt was a bit far away, but when Shi Yuan opened his mouth, Jia Qin froze and quickly returned to normal, "My husband said, why did I forget Aunt Lin, but the gift box was not prepared, this..."
"It's okay, I'm ready." Shi Yuan's lips twitched slightly, and Jia Qin lowered his eyes sadly.This road is more difficult than imagined, so what, she has already taken the first step, and she believes that she will definitely walk well in the future.The hand tightly clenched in the sleeve slowly loosened, and gently rubbed the pattern on the skirt with the palm of the hand to calm down his mood.
Daiyu has a sense of the absurdity of people sitting at home and disasters falling from the sky.Jia Qin returned home in three days and went to Rongguo Mansion, but unexpectedly came to her own home.What is this, is it a return door or a drop in door.
Jia Min welcomed the two of them in with a smile, and glanced at Shi Yuan, "It's a pity that you didn't tell me in advance, otherwise Jing Yu should be called back to entertain the guests."
"It's okay, I'll take a walk in the front yard." Shi Yuan was very polite, Jia Min had no choice but to let Daiyu's husband come out to accompany the guests.This gentleman was the one sent to Yangzhou by the Thirteenth Lord, and later came to Jinling, Jingyu was sent to the Imperial College, and Daiyu began to learn how to be a housekeeper, so he went to Lin Ruhai to listen to him.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a staff member, but because of his knowledge and chic behavior, he and Lin Ruhai get along very well.Come out to entertain the younger generation, which is considered the etiquette of the Lin family.
When Daiyu heard that Jia Qin was coming, she also came to see her.After careful observation, she saw that her face was calm, and she was not too bad after thinking about it. She was very relieved and said: "I am relieved to see my sister like this."
Jia Min let them go to talk, and Daiyu led her into her yard. Jia Qin all envied her: "The Lin family is still clean. The historians say that they are a wealthy family, and their lives are full of pits and valleys. If it weren't for someone outside I took that gate back to the backstreet of Rongguo Mansion."
The backstreet of Rongguo Mansion is where the clansmen and servants attached to the Jia Mansion live. Daiyu laughed when Jia Qin said that, "That's fine too, to save Sister Qin from admitting her life."
The two jokes shortened the distance a lot. From the perspective of others, they were chatting and laughing, and they really had a good relationship.
After entering the room, Jia Qin suppressed her smile and said in a low voice: "My husband asked me to say sorry to my sister. He said that he didn't know about it at the beginning."
Daiyu paled, "Why do you..." You actually help Shi Yuan spread such words to another woman, even if Shi Yuan has a grudge against her, there is no need to be so grievous.
"What can I do, mother-in-law doesn't like it, husband doesn't want it, if you don't obey, wouldn't it be a decoration." Jia Qin should be resentful, but her voice was very calm, as if stating that the dress is red Yes, that hairpin is white, just a fact, without any emotion.
"After you finish talking, go back earlier." Daiyu really didn't know what to say, so she could only ask her to leave.
Jia Qinfu bowed and did not speak, followed the servant girl out the door, went to the front yard to meet Shi Yuan, and left the Lin residence together.
"I said it as it is, my sister is very surprised, she doesn't look very happy."
"Okay." Shi Yuan put his hand on the hand of Jia Qin who had been twisting the handkerchief. Jia Qin was startled, and was held by her obediently.
Shi Yuan did not marry Lin Daiyu, and the person who was most annoyed besides Mrs. Shi was Xia Jingui.At this moment, her whole body was as limp as if she had no bones, tightly curled into Master Jiu's arms, like a purring cat.
But the tone was very unfriendly, "You were rejected when you put peach blossoms in the Thirteenth Lord's house, and the good marriage you arranged for the historian was also ruined by the Lin family. You will choke on this tone."
Seeing Master Jiu squinting his eyes and not speaking, Xia Jingui said unwillingly: "You can't ask the emperor to give you a marriage. If the emperor makes an order, the Lin family can still resist the order. Otherwise, they won't even give the historians face, even if they change someone else. Same."
"A woman is a woman, with long hair but short knowledge, you know what a marriage is." Jiu Ye finally couldn't help but reply.Marriage is good for two surnames, and the emperor can't just give marriages to his ministers, unless both families have the dignity and ask the emperor.With the current state of historians, how could they ask for a marriage from the emperor.
"In my opinion, why don't you just accept her, and see if Lin Ruhai dares to follow others and devote himself to death." Xia Jingui was determined not to let Lin Daiyu live a comfortable life.
"Shaohun said." Of course Jiuye himself is impossible, and the emperor will not agree.However, I can't do it myself, my son is always about the same age.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was possible. I touched Xia Jingui's semi-revealed snow-white rabbit, turned over and pressed her under him, "I'd better let you do your best for the Lord first, and then die."
Refreshed and refreshed, Master Jiu left Xia Jingui, who was limp and turned into mud, and went to a secret residence.On the surface, it was the outer house he had bought for a brothel fan, but in fact it was the place where the brothers met.
"Myna, what happened this time is my younger brother's errands. I will take the blame myself." Jiuye cupped his fists and was supported by Baye.
"Ninth Brother has planned strategies to the extreme. Who would have imagined how cunning the Lin family is? It really deserves to be a little fox born of an old fox. It is generally slippery." The reputation of the virtuous king is quite similar to that of the forest.
"However, I also thought of a remedy. My family's Hongxiang is sixteen this year, and he would not dare to refuse the position of side Fujin for the Lin family."
Eighth Master frowned slightly, "You can't trouble Emma with this matter, one is willing to marry and the other is willing to marry."
"Of course." Master Jiu looked smug, the historians messed up the matter, they were stupid.Can I still mess it up at home? It's absolutely impossible.
"However, the four princes and eight princes are already old, and the emperor doesn't value them very much. Why does the starling want to win them over?" The courtier is also used by the fourth brother.But are those people that important?
"It's because they are not valued by the emperor. If they don't rely on them, what awaits them is to cut their titles or downgrade them. After a few generations, everyone will be wiped out, and their descendants will all be civilians. How willing are they? In order to keep their titles, they can only Fight hard, there is no way out. What's more, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Among the old relatives, there are quite a few people who can use it. When the time comes, everyone from the lord to the capable minister, and even the courtiers who are loyal to the fourth brother have the same opinion , do you think it will affect Huang Ama in the slightest, and think that I am the destiny."
At critical moments, it is good to be able to influence even a little bit.What's more, if the momentum is really so huge, everyone has to weigh the weight.
Master Jiu seemed to see a bright future, and rubbed his hands excitedly, "I'll do it right away, to make sure everything is safe."
"Don't worry, plan carefully, and strive for perfection. We have waited for so long, and we don't care about waiting a few more days. Bind Lin Ruhai with Lin Daiyu, and then win over the four kings and eight princes, plus some of the original courtiers, the weight is almost the same. If It would be great if you could talk to uncle, and you can get twice the result with half the effort." When Ba Ye thought of this, he felt regretful.
Master Jiu pouted, "If Lin Ruhai is an old fox, then Longkodo is the ancestor of the fox."
Ba Ye was silent, and knew that before the emperor spoke, Longkodo would never show any emotion, let alone get involved in this matter.
Jia Min received an invitation from Jiu Ye's mansion, inviting her to a banquet to appreciate peony flowers.Jia Min took this invitation to Lin Ruhai's study, and after a few days, he refused due to illness.
"Father, do you know what brother Jiu is going to do? We rejected the peony flower festival, the azalea flower festival, and the chrysanthemum flower festival. Besides, we always have to go out and walk around." exists.Knowing this, she didn't go to her mother, but directly to her father.
"It will be fine after this period of time. Daddy promises that there will be no peonies, no azaleas, and no flower fairs." Lin Ruhai knew that her daughter had been wronged, but at this time, He can't say anything.
"Since daddy said so, my daughter will believe what daddy said." Daiyu leaned her head lightly on Lin Ruhai's shoulder. Although Lin Ruhai seldom said anything boring to her alone, it was precisely because of him that she To live today.
Lin Ruhai has aged a lot since he returned to Jinling, although he is still handsome, the wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes and the silver strands in his hair all prove how much he has worked hard these years.Daiyu also thought of it. After Prince Yong, who was like a workaholic, his father had to work harder than him in order to gain his trust.
Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu was surprised that her father had worked so hard, and she had never been filial.Turning around, I told Nanny Li that I prepared donkey-hide gelatin, black sesame seeds, red dates, walnuts, wolfberries, sugar cubes and rice wine for her.
Break these into one place, simmer over low heat, and then put them in the ice cellar to solidify and form.The last piece is cut into small pieces of finger length, and a small dish is added to father and mother every day.If she didn't finish eating, she would definitely be reluctant, and she would watch them eat even if she didn't give up.
"It's fortunate that you have thought so much about what you want to do. You just ask, and someone else will do it." Jia Min was eating Guyuan ointment. Very useful.
"Yes, girl, don't burn your hair, it's not good if it's too hot." Lin Ruhai looked at her daughter with a smile.
"It's really nothing. Being told by my mother and father, it seems like my daughter has done a lot of amazing things." Daiyu is also going to find some health-preserving pills for Lin Ruhai to take. When she fell down, she couldn't control others, but she didn't want her father to follow suit.
"My daughter is amazing." Lin Ruhai loved her more and more.
"In a few days, I will rest for my father and let Jingyu come back. Our family will go together to add lamp oil money to my grandfather." Lin Ruhai lit the ever-burning lamps for his grandfather and grandmother. .
"Okay, okay." Daiyu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.Qixia Temple outside Jinling City is built in the middle of the mountain, and the whole mountain is full of rhododendrons. At this time of year, the mountains and plains are in full bloom. vitality.
At this time of the year, the most people go to Shangxiang. Lin Ruhai took out a famous sticker to book a room. Most people can only stay in the B&B at the foot of the mountain.Knowing that she could stay for one night, Daiyu was even more happy.
The daughter was so excited that she wished she could start packing her luggage today.Seeing her daughter leaving, Jia Min said angrily: "Master also said that we should keep a low profile during this time, why are we going out again now?"
"I'm afraid you'll be bored. I'll protect you. It's fine." Lin Ruhai's eyes flickered, and he put his arms around Jia Min's waist, and Jia Min fell into his arms.
The fact that Lin Ruhai and his family went to Qixia Temple cannot be concealed from anyone, let alone the well-informed Renshi.Jiufujin sneered coldly, "Those who are too sick to leave the house now have the energy to burn incense."
Master Jiu weighed the sweet and sour fruit on the plate and ate one. He didn't mind and said, "Anyway, the Lin family will definitely not agree to it on the surface. I said earlier that you don't believe it. Anyway, I only want one result. , you can discuss it yourself."
After Jiu Ye left, Jiu Fujin threw the sweet and sour fruit he ate to the ground.
"When I am someone, I am full of men and women, and I think others are like you."
Naturally, Jiufujin was unwilling to arrange such low-level affairs like Mrs. Shijia, it was a conspiracy, and she disdained it.In this world, besides conspiracies and schemes, she felt that as long as she opened her mouth in front of others, it would be impossible for Jia Min to refuse her.
It's okay to say that she is dominating people with power, anyway, she can accept dominating people with power, but she can't accept the reputation of sneaking around bad guys.
But the members of the Lin family didn't show up at all, which made her conspiracy come to nothing.In Jinling, there are very few people who don't give her face like this, but now I realize that when people really don't give you face, she has no way to deal with it.
"Have someone tell Hongyun what the Lin family is doing. I won't help him, but I won't take care of him either." Hongxiang wasn't born to her, let alone her eldest son. She didn't stop him from begging him. Ma's favor, but don't even try to help him yourself.
"Yes." The maid lowered her head and took the order to leave.
The Lin family's carriage drove directly into the temple, and Daiyu coveted the beautiful scenery along the way, so she jumped out of the carriage, took a deep breath, and felt that the whole air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers.
"Today I'm just wandering around the temple, and tomorrow I'll take you to climb the mountain. There is a rhododendron tree that is more than a century old on the top of the mountain, which is extremely rare." Lin Ruhai waved his arms, moved his legs, and went to add sesame oil money first. .
"Great, we'll go tomorrow morning." Daiyu clapped her hands.
When Lin Ruhai came back, he took them to a vegetarian restaurant. The journey was safe and sound, and Daiyu didn't meet any unexpected people, so Daiyu was really relieved.It seems that father's signboard is really useful, and even the ghosts and monsters dare not come here.
"What are you doing eating so fast, and no one is robbing you." Jia Min carried food for her daughter. It was rare to see her daughter so relaxed and cheerful, and she felt more and more frightened by the Jiuye's mansion who kept sending invitations a while ago .
"Why is no one robbing me? Look at Jingyu." Daiyu pointed at Jingyu angrily. He came on a horse and was already starving. Naturally, he ate quickly now.
"Then order another table." Lin Ruhai laughed, Jing Yu made a face for her sister while eating, and chased after the meal.
"Sister, was there something wrong with the historian a few days ago." Jing Yu just came home last night, and followed the car into the mountain early this morning.But it seemed that they got wind of it in just one night.
"There is something wrong, but it has already been dismissed, so you don't have to worry about it." Daiyu picked a leaf and put it near her lips. After blowing for a long time without any movement, she threw it away bitterly.On the way, I saw a half-grown child carrying firewood and blowing tunes with leaves, and I felt itchy at that time.
"Look at me." Jing Yu also took off a leaf. At the beginning, she blushed and didn't blow it. After being laughed at by Daiyu for a long time, she finally blew it, but the sound was extremely indecent, let alone a tune. It is disaster.
"You eat too many beans, hahaha..." Daiyu laughed sourly, her brother is really capable, why didn't she see it before.
"噗嗤" The laughter that obviously did not belong to them came from the woods, and Daiyu immediately became alert.
Protect the younger brother behind him, "Let's go."
"Where to go, I'll see who it is. Those who sneak around are definitely not good people." Jingyu didn't want to go, but pushed Daiyu behind her, and went to the woods to find out the peeping person.
"It's me." A familiar figure turned out of the woods and touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.He obviously came first, okay?When he was about to walk out, he heard their siblings blowing leaves in a competition. He had never seen her do it before, so he had to appreciate it.
"Brother Hongyun, what a coincidence, are you coming to offer incense too?" After speaking, Jing Yu touched her head, no matter how innocent she was, she knew something was wrong.
"Uncle Huang asked me to come here. I have something to tell Mr. Lin."
Jing Yu immediately felt relieved. It turned out that he had a serious business, so he hurriedly said: "My father should be behind, I will take you there."
"Since that's the case, take your time, I'll go back to the wing room to rest." Daiyu hurriedly saluted and left with her maid.
Does this count as shooting a stone at his own foot? Hong Yun looked at the back of the faraway girl with gentle eyes and deep affection.
Why did Hongyun come? Daiyu didn't believe the nonsense that Prince Yong asked him to bring a letter.There are many people who can run errands, so why should a nephew come here.It must be his own idea, for sure.
Little did he know that Hong Yun had already met Lin Ruhai, and the two had a very happy chat, even having a hand-to-hand conversation.Jing Yu poured tea and water, and listened to their fight, but didn't understand a word.
"My son is not as good as his sister. There is only one good thing, that is, to be honest and honest. Whatever you ask him to do, he will not be smart enough to add or subtract. What you ask him to do is meticulous, and what you don't ask him to do, he can control it. I don't even touch it." For this son, Lin Ruhai felt a little regretful, obviously he didn't inherit the wisdom of the Lin family.
But at the same time as regretful, I am also very fortunate, fortunately, I am not a smart person.Otherwise, according to the current situation of the Lin family, I don't know how many times they have been provoked by the students of the Imperial College, and how many disasters have happened.
"Master Lin is a strict father, and he always looks harsh on himself. I think it's very good that Jingyu is like this. Besides, with such a sister, can you still see him suffer? It is necessary to bring a helper to help."
Jing Yu asked very curiously: "Who is this helper?" Why didn't he know what kind of helper my sister had.
Hong Yun coughed slightly, and glanced at Lin Ruhai, "Naturally he will be your future brother-in-law."
Lin Ruhai smiled and played the white chess to a key position, "Give way."
"Say what you want to say."
Hong Yun, who was choking on Daiyu's words, almost didn't bring it up, quickly stood up, made a deep bow first, and said: "I was lured by Hongxiang from the Ninth Emperor's family to see you and Baoyu. Then come out of the teahouse, but I know you are all right."
"If you believe that we are fine, you don't need my explanation. What's more, I have nothing to explain." Daiyu's face was a little proud, Baoyu is not good in every way, this time for her, it can be said that he has betrayed himself My mother, she will definitely accept this love.Since she is sympathetic, she will not publicize this matter, even if Hong Yun is reliable.
"I believe." Hong Yun was very straightforward. Although sister Lin is a woman, she has her own pride. If he believes her, he shouldn't try it.
Picking up the fruit wine that was just delivered, "I will punish myself with three cups, and I will never do this again."
"I'll accompany you for three cups. I will ask you directly if I have anything to do. I will believe what you say. It's just that it's not easy to trust people. If you deceive each other once, you will be strangers in this life." Daiyu raised her glass, her eyes clear Like water, there is both tenderness and stubbornness in his eyes.
"In this life, if I say a word of deceit to you, I will die with a broken heart." After finishing speaking, Daiyu drank the wine in her glass, and Daiyu didn't even have a chance to stop her.
Putting down the wine glass, she saw that Daiyu's hand was still resting on the table, shining like the finest white porcelain.Hong Yun couldn't help stretching out his fingers and hooking her fingertips.Sure enough, it was delicate and smooth, like a piece of warm jade, directly warming his heart.

In addition to being comprehensive, the gift list made by the servant must leave room for the host to add by himself in order to show affection.But none of the two masters said to add makeup, and the young lady had already stated in one sentence that no one in the family would add makeup to the Miss Shijia, so Nanny Su knew what attitude she should use.

Seeing Master Jiu squinting his eyes and not speaking, Xia Jingui said unwillingly: "You can't ask the emperor to give you a marriage. If the emperor makes an order, the Lin family can still resist the order. Otherwise, they won't even give the historians face, even if they change someone else. Same."
"A woman is a woman, with long hair but short knowledge, you know what a marriage is." Jiu Ye finally couldn't help but reply.Marriage is good for two surnames, and the emperor can't just give marriages to his ministers, unless both families have the dignity and ask the emperor.With the current state of historians, how could they ask for a marriage from the emperor.
"In my opinion, why don't you just accept her, and see if Lin Ruhai dares to follow others and devote himself to death." Xia Jingui was determined not to let Lin Daiyu live a comfortable life.
"Shaohun said." Of course Jiuye himself is impossible, and the emperor will not agree.However, I can't do it myself, my son is always about the same age.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was possible. I touched Xia Jingui's semi-revealed snow-white rabbit, turned over and pressed her under him, "I'd better let you do your best for the Lord first, and then die."
Refreshed and refreshed, Master Jiu left Xia Jingui, who was limp and turned into mud, and went to a secret residence.On the surface, it was the outer house he had bought for a brothel fan, but in fact it was the place where the brothers met.
"Myna, what happened this time is my younger brother's errands. I will take the blame myself." Jiuye cupped his fists and was supported by Baye.
"Ninth Brother has planned strategies to the extreme. Who would have imagined how cunning the Lin family is? It really deserves to be a little fox born of an old fox. It is generally slippery." The reputation of the virtuous king is quite similar to that of the forest.
"However, I also thought of a remedy. My family's Hongxiang is sixteen this year, and he would not dare to refuse the position of side Fujin for the Lin family."
Eighth Master frowned slightly, "You can't trouble Emma with this matter, one is willing to marry and the other is willing to marry."
"Of course." Master Jiu looked smug, the historians messed up the matter, they were stupid.Can I still mess it up at home? It's absolutely impossible.
"However, the four princes and eight princes are already old, and the emperor doesn't value them very much. Why does the starling want to win them over?" The courtier is also used by the fourth brother.But are those people that important?
"It's because they are not valued by the emperor. If they don't rely on them, what awaits them is to cut their titles or downgrade them. After a few generations, everyone will be wiped out, and their descendants will all be civilians. How willing are they? In order to keep their titles, they can only Fight hard, there is no way out. What's more, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Among the old relatives, there are quite a few people who can use it. When the time comes, everyone from the lord to the capable minister, and even the courtiers who are loyal to the fourth brother have the same opinion , do you think it will affect Huang Ama in the slightest, and think that I am the destiny."
At critical moments, it is good to be able to influence even a little bit.What's more, if the momentum is really so huge, everyone has to weigh the weight.
Master Jiu seemed to see a bright future, and rubbed his hands excitedly, "I'll do it right away, to make sure everything is safe."
"Don't worry, plan carefully, and strive for perfection. We have waited for so long, and we don't care about waiting a few more days. Bind Lin Ruhai with Lin Daiyu, and then win over the four kings and eight princes, plus some of the original courtiers, the weight is almost the same. If It would be great if you could talk to uncle, and you can get twice the result with half the effort." When Ba Ye thought of this, he felt regretful.
Master Jiu pouted, "If Lin Ruhai is an old fox, then Longkodo is the ancestor of the fox."
Ba Ye was silent, and knew that before the emperor spoke, Longkodo would never show any emotion, let alone get involved in this matter.
Jia Min received an invitation from Jiu Ye's mansion, inviting her to a banquet to appreciate peony flowers.Jia Min took this invitation to Lin Ruhai's study, and after a few days, he refused due to illness.
"Father, do you know what brother Jiu is going to do? We rejected the peony flower festival, the azalea flower festival, and the chrysanthemum flower festival. Besides, we always have to go out and walk around." exists.Knowing this, she didn't go to her mother, but directly to her father.
"It will be fine after this period of time. Daddy promises that there will be no peonies, no azaleas, and no flower fairs." Lin Ruhai knew that her daughter had been wronged, but at this time, He can't say anything.
"Since daddy said so, my daughter will believe what daddy said." Daiyu leaned her head lightly on Lin Ruhai's shoulder. Although Lin Ruhai seldom said anything boring to her alone, it was precisely because of him that she To live today.
Lin Ruhai has aged a lot since he returned to Jinling, although he is still handsome, the wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes and the silver strands in his hair all prove how much he has worked hard these years.Daiyu also thought of it. After Prince Yong, who was like a workaholic, his father had to work harder than him in order to gain his trust.
Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu was surprised that her father had worked so hard, and she had never been filial.Turning around, I told Nanny Li that I prepared donkey-hide gelatin, black sesame seeds, red dates, walnuts, wolfberries, sugar cubes and rice wine for her.
Break these into one place, simmer over low heat, and then put them in the ice cellar to solidify and form.The last piece is cut into small pieces of finger length, and a small dish is added to father and mother every day.If she didn't finish eating, she would definitely be reluctant, and she would watch them eat even if she didn't give up.
"It's fortunate that you have thought so much about what you want to do. You just ask, and someone else will do it." Jia Min was eating Guyuan ointment. Very useful.
"Yes, girl, don't burn your hair, it's not good if it's too hot." Lin Ruhai looked at her daughter with a smile.
"It's really nothing. Being told by my mother and father, it seems like my daughter has done a lot of amazing things." Daiyu is also going to find some health-preserving pills for Lin Ruhai to take. When she fell down, she couldn't control others, but she didn't want her father to follow suit.
"My daughter is amazing." Lin Ruhai loved her more and more.
"In a few days, I will rest for my father and let Jingyu come back. Our family will go together to add lamp oil money to my grandfather." Lin Ruhai lit the ever-burning lamps for his grandfather and grandmother. .
"Okay, okay." Daiyu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.Qixia Temple outside Jinling City is built in the middle of the mountain, and the whole mountain is full of rhododendrons. At this time of year, the mountains and plains are in full bloom. vitality.
At this time of the year, the most people go to Shangxiang. Lin Ruhai took out a famous sticker to book a room. Most people can only stay in the B&B at the foot of the mountain.Knowing that she could stay for one night, Daiyu was even more happy.
The daughter was so excited that she wished she could start packing her luggage today.Seeing her daughter leaving, Jia Min said angrily: "Master also said that we should keep a low profile during this time, why are we going out again now?"
"I'm afraid you'll be bored. I'll protect you. It's fine." Lin Ruhai's eyes flickered, and he put his arms around Jia Min's waist, and Jia Min fell into his arms.
The fact that Lin Ruhai and his family went to Qixia Temple cannot be concealed from anyone, let alone the well-informed Renshi.Jiufujin sneered coldly, "Those who are too sick to leave the house now have the energy to burn incense."
Master Jiu weighed the sweet and sour fruit on the plate and ate one. He didn't mind and said, "Anyway, the Lin family will definitely not agree to it on the surface. I said earlier that you don't believe it. Anyway, I only want one result. , you can discuss it yourself."
After Jiu Ye left, Jiu Fujin threw the sweet and sour fruit he ate to the ground.
"When I am someone, I am full of men and women, and I think others are like you."
Naturally, Jiufujin was unwilling to arrange such low-level affairs like Mrs. Shijia, it was a conspiracy, and she disdained it.In this world, besides conspiracies and schemes, she felt that as long as she opened her mouth in front of others, it would be impossible for Jia Min to refuse her.
It's okay to say that she is dominating people with power, anyway, she can accept dominating people with power, but she can't accept the reputation of sneaking around bad guys.
But the members of the Lin family didn't show up at all, which made her conspiracy come to nothing.In Jinling, there are very few people who don't give her face like this, but now I realize that when people really don't give you face, she has no way to deal with it.
"Have someone tell Hongyun what the Lin family is doing. I won't help him, but I won't take care of him either." Hongxiang wasn't born to her, let alone her eldest son. She didn't stop him from begging him. Ma's favor, but don't even try to help him yourself.
"Yes." The maid lowered her head and took the order to leave.
The Lin family's carriage drove directly into the temple, and Daiyu coveted the beautiful scenery along the way, so she jumped out of the carriage, took a deep breath, and felt that the whole air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers.
"Today I'm just wandering around the temple, and tomorrow I'll take you to climb the mountain. There is a rhododendron tree that is more than a century old on the top of the mountain, which is extremely rare." Lin Ruhai waved his arms, moved his legs, and went to add sesame oil money first. .
"Great, we'll go tomorrow morning." Daiyu clapped her hands.
When Lin Ruhai came back, he took them to a vegetarian restaurant. The journey was safe and sound, and Daiyu didn't meet any unexpected people, so Daiyu was really relieved.It seems that father's signboard is really useful, and even the ghosts and monsters dare not come here.
"What are you doing eating so fast, and no one is robbing you." Jia Min carried food for her daughter. It was rare to see her daughter so relaxed and cheerful, and she felt more and more frightened by the Jiuye's mansion who kept sending invitations a while ago .
"Why is no one robbing me? Look at Jingyu." Daiyu pointed at Jingyu angrily. He came on a horse and was already starving. Naturally, he ate quickly now.
"Then order another table." Lin Ruhai laughed, Jing Yu made a face for her sister while eating, and chased after the meal.
"Sister, was there something wrong with the historian a few days ago." Jing Yu just came home last night, and followed the car into the mountain early this morning.But it seemed that they got wind of it in just one night.
"There is something wrong, but it has already been dismissed, so you don't have to worry about it." Daiyu picked a leaf and put it near her lips. After blowing for a long time without any movement, she threw it away bitterly.On the way, I saw a half-grown child carrying firewood and blowing tunes with leaves, and I felt itchy at that time.
"Look at me." Jing Yu also took off a leaf. At the beginning, she blushed and didn't blow it. After being laughed at by Daiyu for a long time, she finally blew it, but the sound was extremely indecent, let alone a tune. It is disaster.
"You eat too many beans, hahaha..." Daiyu laughed sourly, her brother is really capable, why didn't she see it before.
"噗嗤" The laughter that obviously did not belong to them came from the woods, and Daiyu immediately became alert.
Protect the younger brother behind him, "Let's go."
"Where to go, I'll see who it is. Those who sneak around are definitely not good people." Jingyu didn't want to go, but pushed Daiyu behind her, and went to the woods to find out the peeping person.
"It's me." A familiar figure turned out of the woods and touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.He obviously came first, okay?When he was about to walk out, he heard their siblings blowing leaves in a competition. He had never seen her do it before, so he had to appreciate it.
"Brother Hongyun, what a coincidence, are you coming to offer incense too?" After speaking, Jing Yu touched her head, no matter how innocent she was, she knew something was wrong.
"Uncle Huang asked me to come here. I have something to tell Mr. Lin."
Jing Yu immediately felt relieved. It turned out that he had a serious business, so he hurriedly said: "My father should be behind, I will take you there."
"Since that's the case, take your time, I'll go back to the wing room to rest." Daiyu hurriedly saluted and left with her maid.
Does this count as shooting a stone at his own foot? Hong Yun looked at the back of the faraway girl with gentle eyes and deep affection.
Why did Hongyun come? Daiyu didn't believe the nonsense that Prince Yong asked him to bring a letter.There are many people who can run errands, so why should a nephew come here.It must be his own idea, for sure.
Little did he know that Hong Yun had already met Lin Ruhai, and the two had a very happy chat, even having a hand-to-hand conversation.Jing Yu poured tea and water, and listened to their fight, but didn't understand a word.
"My son is not as good as his sister. There is only one good thing, that is, to be honest and honest. Whatever you ask him to do, he will not be smart enough to add or subtract. What you ask him to do is meticulous, and what you don't ask him to do, he can control it. I don't even touch it." For this son, Lin Ruhai felt a little regretful, obviously he didn't inherit the wisdom of the Lin family.
But at the same time as regretful, I am also very fortunate, fortunately, I am not a smart person.Otherwise, according to the current situation of the Lin family, I don't know how many times they have been provoked by the students of the Imperial College, and how many disasters have happened.
"Master Lin is a strict father, and he always looks harsh on himself. I think it's very good that Jingyu is like this. Besides, with such a sister, can you still see him suffer? It is necessary to bring a helper to help."
Jing Yu asked very curiously: "Who is this helper?" Why didn't he know what kind of helper my sister had.
Hong Yun coughed slightly, and glanced at Lin Ruhai, "Naturally he will be your future brother-in-law."
Lin Ruhai smiled and played the white chess to a key position, "Give way."
