I am a man in a dream

To put it bluntly, Baoyu heard that the brother of Qin Keqing, the grandmother of Xiaorong in Dongfu, is a crystal glass man.After school today, Grandma Dongfu invited Sister Feng to play for a while, Baoyu yelled and followed.When I arrived at the East Mansion, I met Qin Zhong. He was indeed a handsome man, and he didn't like reading. He and Baoyu really got together, and the two separated at night.

At that time, Lin Hongming had been studying in Taixue for half a year, and there was no teacher in Taixue who did not praise him, even those dandies could not say anything, they all loved to talk to him, even if there were two proud relatives, they could not pick him up. There was something wrong with Lin Hongming, but it was inevitable that he felt a little jealous, and occasionally said a few sour words to settle the matter.Lin Hongming knew that his foundation was not as good as theirs, and if he only talked about knowledge, he couldn't live alone in the world. The world is so big, there are many people with knowledge, but not all of them live to the end of their lives. He doesn't show off his knowledge, doesn't talk much, and treats each other with courtesy when meeting each other. After a long time, everyone gets bored, so they also throw away.Among these relatives, Third Master Yan, the grandson of Lord Zhongshun's family, was close to Lin Hongming and came to him from time to time.Although Lin Hongming was impatient, he couldn't offend him, so he had to deal with it patiently.No, just after school, Third Master Yan jogged after him: "How come brother Hongming walks so fast?"

"Tomorrow is the ten-day holiday. I want to go back early to see my grandmother because I miss my grandmother." Lin Hongming made up a reason.Third Master Yan said: "Brother Hongming's grandmother must be the old lady of Jia's family, the lady of Baolinghou from the Shi family, right?"

Lin Hongming smiled and said, "That's not it." Third Master Yan said, "Speaking of Jia's family, I would like to remind Hongming a few words and let them restrain themselves. In terms of prosperity, it is not as good as it used to be, and now it is hard to find in the whole house." If there is a successor, even if there is Jia Zheng, he is not good at management, and if he does not restrain himself, he will be hated by others." Lin Hongming was amused when he heard this, but isn't he hated by others?In the future, it will not be your prince who ransacked the house to find trouble, but San Ye Yan reminded him that although he intended to inquire, he also kindly reminded him, so he smiled and said: "The third master said such things to me with good intentions, Hongming understands in his heart, but I After all, it's an outsider, so it's inconvenient to intervene. It's just to prevent the old lady and sister from interacting. If I can persuade a few words, I will naturally advise a few words. It's just that I am small and weak, and they may not be willing to listen." Third Master Yan thought for a while , greatly agreeing, the two went into the room to drink tea, played checkers for a while and then dispersed.Lin Hongming thought it was getting late, so he went to rest after reading for a while.

Third Master Yan went back to the palace with all his joy and happened to meet Prince Zhongshun returning to the mansion, he was immediately stopped: "Why did you come back, and where did you go?" Third Master Yan was so frightened that he quickly stopped and replied: "After reading the book I wanted to come back earlier, thinking that brother Hongming was very knowledgeable, so I asked for some advice, saying that the beauty is that I forgot the time and came back late." Prince Zhongshun frowned and thought for a while, and said: "But he won the exam at the age of 11, and the salt transport envoy and concurrently All inspectors are Lin Ruhai's adopted son?" Third Master Yan hurriedly said: "That's him!" Prince Zhongshun's anger subsided a little, and with the support of Third Master Yan, he entered the mansion and asked, "How long have you been with him? What do you think of him?" San Ye Yan praised: "It's not grandson boasting, brother Hongming is a rare and good talent. What's even more rare is that he is humble and polite, generous, and simple and elegant." Prince Zhongshun listened Then he asked again: "What do you think about his relationship with the Jia family?" Third Master Yan said: "Although it is not far away, it is not too close. Usually, the Jia family only visits once two or three times, and today I am still with him." Talking about the Jia family, I see what he means is that for the sake of Jia's mother and sister, he has to pay the whole ceremony." After hearing this, Prince Zhongshun nodded and said, "It's possible to date, but be careful. , don’t be presumptuous.”

Baoyu got up early in the morning and took Daiyu to Jia Mu's place to say hello. The three chatted for a while. Back and forth, Second Master Lin got up early in the morning, and I'm afraid it will be here soon." After hearing this, Jia's mother said, "Then put the food on the table, and we will eat it when Ming boy comes."

After a while, Lin Hongming came, and Mother Jia ordered dinner to be served. The four ate happily, chatted for a while, and the three younger ones left.Together they came to the Bisha cabinet, Baoyu took out the Nine Links and deciphered them. After studying for a long time, they still couldn't untie them.It so happened that Zhou Rui's family came, holding a box: "Aunt Xue's wife gave the girl two palace flowers." Daiyu answered and asked, "Is it just for me or does everyone else have it?" Zhou Rui's family replied "Others have them. These two belong to girls." Just as Daiyu was about to say something, Lin Hongming hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mrs. Zhou, for your painstaking efforts. It's been a hard journey. Sit down and have a cup of tea." Cuckoo tea.Zhou Rui's family thanked him hurriedly.Baoyu asked, "What is Sister Bao doing at home? Why don't you come to visit?" Zhou Rui's family drank tea and replied, "Miss Bao is sick and resting at home." Baoyu was surprised and told Musk Moon: "Go and see , asked what disease he had, and what medicine he was taking, and my younger sister Lin and I were going to visit, but they said that I was also sick, and we would visit another day."

In the afternoon, Lin Hongming had dinner with the old lady, and then he was going back to Taixue. Seeing that it was getting dark, the old lady refused to obey: "What should I do if I knock on the road?" Lin Hongming said: "Grandmother is worried. There is a little I followed along, and there was a lantern shining, nothing to do. Besides, my nephew is a man, what are you afraid of." Jia's mother still refused: "That's not okay, then the school is just a day in the evening, and reading is a normal day's work. It's okay, let Lian'er send the boy to see the masters in Taixue, and ask for a day off, the masters will be fine, if they insist on going, they won't take me seriously." Lin Hongming saw Jia's mother saying this, I can't leave today, so I hurriedly said with a smile: "Grandmother kept food, and nephew dare not resign. In this case, let Qianqing go back to ask the masters for leave. I will bother grandma for another day, as long as grandma doesn't dislike me. Alright." After hearing this, Jia's mother laughed: "Good boy, you're the only one who is talkative." After speaking, she ordered Yuanyang: "Go and tell Feng girl to clean up a room for Ming'er." As soon as the words fell, Wang Xifeng said Here comes: "It's been cleaned up a long time ago, and I'm just waiting for brother Ming to rest." Jia Mu was very happy to see Wang Xifeng: "It's still Feng girl who is thoughtful."

The next day, Lin Hongming went to Daiyu's place early, and the two talked. They had dinner at Jiamu's place at noon, and went to Lixiangyuan to visit Baochai together.In the warm pavilion, Baochai was talking to Baoyu when she suddenly heard a summons from outside: "Second Master Lin and Miss Lin are here!" Baochai hurriedly stood up to greet her, only to see Daiyu enter the room wearing a scarlet fox fur cloak. He laughed and said, "Oh, it's a coincidence that I came!" Baochai was puzzled and asked, "I don't understand that." Daiyu said, "If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come!" Baochai After hearing this, she pretended not to know: "I don't understand even more?" Daiyu laughed and said, "I'll come today, and he will come tomorrow. It won't be too lively or too deserted. Why doesn't my sister understand?" After hearing this, Baoyu knew that Daiyu was being petty again, so she didn't get angry and hurriedly changed the subject, asking the little girl, "Has my cloak been delivered?" The girl replied, "Grandma Li has already been delivered." Daiyu listened Liao said: "Look, he will leave when I come." Baoyu said hurriedly after hearing this: "When will I leave?" As he said, he hurriedly flattered Daiyu: "The goose-footed duck letter made by my aunt's house is the best. It's delicious, and today we're going to ask for good wine from my aunt's house." Daiyu glanced at him and stopped talking.Since Lin Hongming came here, he heard them bickering and didn't speak. Seeing that he was reticent, Baochai asked, "Brother Ming came out without wearing any clothes. How can he go to school tomorrow when he's broken?" It's too thick and uncomfortable, and I don't feel so cold. If you wear too warm clothes and get used to it, you won't be too thin to be cold, but you girls are delicate and should wear more. I heard that Sister Bao is sick, but is it okay? Baochai admired Lin Hongming very much, so he let Baoyu and Daiyu talk together, and went to talk to Lin Hongming: "It's much better, and you should think about it." When dinner came, Aunt Xue prepared a steaming pot and ate it. warm.Speaking of Baoyu wanting to drink, Grandma Li hurriedly stopped her.Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Old guy, you just feel free to eat yours, I won't allow him to eat too much, even if the old lady asks, there is me." After finishing speaking, she ordered the little girl to invite Grandma Li to drink, At the same time, he ordered people to warm the wine.Baoyu said, "You don't need to warm it up. I'll just eat it cold." Aunt Xue stopped her quickly, and Baochai smiled and said, "Brother Bao, don't you know that it's hottest to wake up from alcohol? If you eat it hot, it will dissipate quickly. "If you eat it cold, it will condense inside, and warm him with the five internal organs, won't he be harmed? From now on, don't eat that cold food soon." Hearing this, Baoyu made sense, so he put down the cold wine and ordered Nuan to drink it.Daiyu just pursed her lips and smiled when she saw her knocking the melon seeds.Lin Hongming looked at his younger sister's expression and knew that she was jealous again, so he said, "When I talked about drinking, I remembered a joke." Baoyu hurriedly asked: "What joke, let's tell it." The thief sneaked into a house and rummaged through boxes and cabinets. When he got his hands and was about to leave, the owner happened to be back. The thief hurriedly grabbed a sack beside him and put it on his body. When I got out of the house, I saw something new in the living room, so I went up and touched it repeatedly, muttering, "What kind of laoshizi is this?" The thief felt itchy all over his body, and became impatient, and shouted, "Pumpkin, idiot." !' The master couldn't help complaining, 'Why didn't you say it earlier, I made me guess for a long time'." After speaking, everyone couldn't help laughing, and Baochai stopped and said: "I thought Brother Ming could read well, but I didn't expect It's so funny when you talk about jokes." Aunt Xue said: "You have a lot of brotherhood."

After a while, when Xueyan came to give the hand stove, Daiyu still couldn't help taking the opportunity to ridicule Baoyu, Baochai just pretended not to hear, Lin Hongming protected his sister, and hurriedly interrupted the topic.Several people talked for a while and then went back. Early the next morning, Lin Hongming went back to Taixue to study.If you want to know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter.
