[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

"Eunuch Deng, what does Shu Fujin want to use today?"

"Eunuch Deng, some good soup ingredients have been brought into the kitchen today."

"Eunuch Deng, today we have steamed chestnut flour cake with sweet-scented osmanthus..."

"Eunuch Deng..."

……

It is no exaggeration that Xiao Dengzi is the most popular person in the dining room of Sibeile Mansion now, and it is only two months since Lin Yuchu first entered the mansion.Who in the dining room doesn't know that Shu Fujin loves food the most, is also good at eating, is not short of money, and is generous in spending, as long as he doesn't play tricks in front of her, he will definitely not suffer.

Little Deng Zi passed the crowd of flattery and salesmen, and walked up to his godfather, Master Ma, and said, "Godfather." Others in the dining room looked envious, this Master Ma is really lucky, he recognized Deng Gonggong for being so proud As a godson, he has received a lot of rewards in just two months.

Seeing the wine in Xiao Dengzi's hand, Master Ma smiled even deeper, ignoring the envious or jealous eyes of other people in the dining room, and asked, "What does this Fu Jin want to use?"

"Master said it's cold and wants to eat mutton pot."

"Come on, it just so happens that the mutton that the dining room brought in today is of high quality. I will choose the tenderest mutton chops to make the pot. When the things are ready, I will arrange for someone to deliver them in person."

"Then thank godfather." Xiao Dengzi put away the wine and was about to leave, but before he left, someone stuffed a food box. It was said that there were some freshly baked dim sum in it, but Xiao Dengzi had no choice but to refuse. Received it, and left the dining room with two points of pride.

Those who couldn't get used to it spit out after Xiao Dengzi left: "Hey, what, you are a dog slave who once gained power." But he only dared to curse in a low voice, not daring to let Master Ma hear it loudly, but luckily There was a lot of movement in the dining room, Master Ma was only concentrating on preparing the pot, and he didn't care about someone saying bad things about Xiao Dengzi.

When Xiao Dengzi went back, the atmosphere in Zhinian Pavilion was not as comfortable as usual. When he saw the faces of the maidservants going in and out, his faces were a little dull. That cousin lingered shamelessly in Zhinian Pavilion all day long, and those who didn't know thought that Zhinian Pavilion was her home.

It happened that Wuwei came out from behind the curtain with a cup of tea, Xiao Dengzi pulled him aside and whispered, "Are you here again?" Although it was a question, his tone was determined.

"No, sitting in someone else's yard and not treating myself as an outsider, saying that I am worried that the master will be bored, so I come here specially so that my sisters can be your companions, it is really kind." Wuwei turned his head and spat inward, and continued Said: "Master is not boring, but she is restrained when she comes, and she is like a guest in her own yard." Wuwei's tone was quite unfair, and he felt unworthy for Lin Yu.The master treats her like a sister, and treats her with delicious food and drinks, but she doesn't care about her at all. If she really cares about the relationship between her cousins, she won't be so cheeky, deliberately looking for a sense of presence in front of Lord Baylor.

"I think it's the master who cares about himself, we just serve. She hasn't done anything too much at the moment. If the master colds her first, it's hard to guarantee that outsiders will say that she has a cold temper that doesn't care about sisters' affection. Lord Belle has heard a lot. In order not to leave some psychological traces. Especially at the side of Fujin who always stares at the master's mistakes. Fortunately, the master is careful and uncomplaining, so he narrowly escaped in the past two months. What if he offends the person in the room? , push people to side Fujin, isn't the master more difficult to guard against, it's better to put it under the nose. It's safer. Besides, you see her coming so many times, even if Lord Baylor comes over, how can Lord Baylor have a good face? She, she is willing to make fun of herself, and doesn't take her own face seriously, so what do we care about." Xiao Dengzi and Wuwei have a bit of affection for each other, so the words can't help but be more sincere, and they still don't care. Forgot to mention:

"There is nothing wrong with you complaining about injustice for the master, but isn't your face embarrassing for the master, if the one complains to the master again, saying that the people in our yard look down on her, the master should give her some face and send you off." Fan, it’s not good to give that person the opportunity to go out and sell the master, wouldn’t the gain not be worth the loss. You just serve in peace and don’t show it on your face, I reckon she won’t be able to hop around long as a fly.”

"Hey, our little Dengzi was called Mr. Deng a few times, and now Mr. Deng's money has been picked up, and he dared to figure out what the master is thinking." Wuwei joked, and he remembered it in his heart after all. Little Dengzi said this for her own good, "Master is still waiting for me to make tea, I don't have time to chat with you here."

"Good sister, don't bury me."

Ignoring the five tastes, I turned around and made tea.

When Wuwei brought the tea and entered the door again, the previous injustice had disappeared on his face, and he was full of smiles. Xiao Dengzi, who was ordering the little eunuch to work, knew that Wuwei had listened to what he said just now, so he was relieved.

Inside the house, Yuan Chun was standing in front of the bookshelf looking through Lin Yu's inventory. He smiled and said, "No wonder my cousin is said to be someone who knows how to eat and play. This bookshelf contains either recipes or medicinal recipes, or miscellaneous travel notes. At home I often heard from my grandmother that my aunt had both talents and talents since she was a child, and my uncle was born in Tanhua. I thought that my cousin had also become my uncle and aunt. I can’t find a single poem in the books on the shelf.” Yuan Chun came into the mansion from Lin Yu, and was always called his cousin, not according to seniority in the mansion, so as to make the two of them seem close, but his eyes flashed over the pearl necklace on Lin Yu’s neck and the pearls on his ears. Involuntarily skipping the pearl earrings.

"My cousin used to make fun of me. I feel dizzy when I read those poems and words. There are no miscellaneous notes that are interesting, let alone delicious food. I can't be a talented person like my cousin. I can only be a layman in the world." It's gone." Lin Yu said self-deprecatingly, not forgetting to peel all kinds of fruits and stuff them into his mouth continuously.

"What kind of talent, ordinary people, my cousin is at the right time. It's like my cousin who has become a thing of the past and has no hope. If my cousin has not entered the house and has someone to talk to, my cousin's life will always be boring. Go down." Yuan Chun looked a little lonely.

"How can a person as bright and generous as my cousin be regarded as yesterday's yellow flower? Why should my cousin belittle herself?" Lin Yu seemed not to understand the real meaning of Yuan Chun's words, and praised Yuan Chun sincerely, without mentioning that she would help Yuan Chun in Yinzhen Say nice things to the front.From the time Mrs. Wang gave her those things, Lin Yu knew that she and Yuan Chun would never be sisters in this lifetime, so why bother pushing Yin Zhen to Yuan Chun generously, let alone whether it can be pushed, in case As soon as Yinzhen was annoyed by these small actions, Yu Linyu was not worth the candle.

In fact, Yuanchun is only 24 or [-] now, which should be the most beautiful age for a woman, but here she has become an old man.In Lin Yu's opinion, Yuan Chun is not bad looking, nor is he too old, but maybe because he has not been favored for many years, he always has a grudge in his body, and the whole person looks rather dull, which lowers the overall score.

"Hey, why mention me, you have been in the mansion for more than two months, is there any movement?" Yuan Chun asked with concern.

Lin Yu looked like he didn't understand, and his face was full of confusion: "What's going on? What's going on?"

Noticing Yuan Chun's gaze, Lin Yu lowered his head and glanced at his belly, his face flushed red, and he said in a loud voice: "The little days have just passed."

Yuan Chun said with some regret on his face: "It's reasonable to try to have a baby early now, and we sisters will have something to rely on after we have a baby. Even if a newcomer comes in... we can still chat." For comfort." It seemed as if he really planned for Lin Yu.

"I just entered the mansion, I think it's..., I think it's fate... Naturally... Naturally." Lin Yu played the role of a person who is eager to have a child but feels shy to discuss this matter.

"Okay, cousin, let's not talk about this." Lin Yuxiang couldn't hold back her embarrassment anymore, and tried to change the topic to other places: "When I was in Rongguo Mansion, my second aunt gave me a lot of things. There are a few pieces of material in it that are really beautiful. I asked Wu Qi to make two sets of clothes with the same style, which happened to be one for each of our cousins. I just made one yesterday, so I took it out and tried it on my cousin to see if it didn’t fit and then changed it. "

"How can I spread the things my mother gave my cousin to me? My cousin should keep them."

"It's made according to my cousin's size, and it doesn't suit me. It's made according to the most fashionable look now. Cousin, let's try it on." Lin Yu ordered someone to bring the clothes up without waiting for Yuan Chun's consent.

The two sets of clothes, one pink and one purple, have exactly the same patterns and styles. Although they are winter clothes, they don't look bulky at all. The waist is specially pinched and thin, and white fox fur is rolled on the cuffs and neckline, making the clothes more delicate and luxurious. .

Lin Yu had already washed her hands, and pulled Yuan Chun to try on the clothes, "The pink is mine, and the purple is my sister's. The purple is just to take advantage of my sister's extravagance."

Faced with the clothes that had been stuffed into his hands, Yuan Chun had no choice but to try them on with Lin Yu, but his body was inexplicably stiff, his expression was not as natural as usual, and his smile seemed to reveal some imperceptible reluctance.However, normal people would not be aware of these changes, such as serving the grains for changing clothes, no fruit, and Yuanchun's maid holding the piano, but Lin Yu, who was paying attention to observe, discovered it.Sure enough, even if some things were guessed a long time ago, they still refused to take them seriously even if they were not confirmed. Now there are various signs that all the guesses are almost true, Lin Yu suddenly felt a little stuck in her heart, and when Yuan Chun changed her clothes and looked at it, she immediately raised her eyebrows. The smiling face circled Yuanchun twice, with amazement on his face:

"My cousin is so beautiful. Only my cousin can match this dress."

Lin Yu pulled Yuan Chun in front of a bronze mirror that was one person tall, and saw two figures reflected in the blurry mirror, one pink and one purple, the pink was pretty and sweet, and the purple was noble and gorgeous, each had its own merits but they were equally beautiful.

Feeling the slightly tense arms in her hands, Lin Yu carefully looked at the person in the mirror, then turned her head to look at Yuan Chun, and suddenly realized: "I said it always felt weird, so it turned out that the jewelry worn by my cousin today is too Guo Sudan." While talking, he dragged Yuan Chun to the place where he usually dressed, pressed Yuan Chun directly on the stool, and said with a smile: "Today I will dress up my cousin as a fairy."

Yuan Chun uncomfortably wanted to get up to stop Lin Yu's sudden desire to dress up, but was stopped by Lin Yu's whisper, and sat down again with the raised buttocks just now.

"Cousin, Lord Belle is coming to Zhinian Pavilion tonight."

This whispered word played back in Yuan Chun's mind repeatedly. Did Daiyu specially prepare this opportunity for her?So there will be new clothes, new jewelry?When things came to an end, Yuan Chun didn't believe it, but seeing Lin Yu excitedly gesticulating on her head with all kinds of jewelry, Yuan Chun couldn't help but believe that it was true, and chose to seize the opportunity to regain her love almost without hesitation. Beloved, as for other thoughts, it doesn't hinder much, Yuan Chun comforted himself in this way.

It's just that Yuan Chun couldn't sit still when he saw the headgear that Lin Yu finally chose from thousands of choices to wear on his body.

"This set of emerald headgear was also given by my second aunt, and the pearl necklace and earrings I was wearing were all given by my second aunt. In fact, I can just give these to my cousin. I don't lack jewelry, but second aunt Thank you, I can't refuse." Lin Yu gestured on Yuan Chun's hair with a jade hairpin to see how it looks good.

"My own jewelry doesn't look good enough for my cousin. In the end, the emerald headdress given by my second aunt is just right for this suit. As expected, my second aunt has a good eye, and the jewelry she gave is a complete set. Yes." Lin Yu's hands and feet moved quickly, and while speaking, she had already removed the jewelry that Yuan Chun originally wore, replaced it with an emerald head, and inserted the last hairpin. Lin Yu clapped her hands and praised: "Where did this fairy come from?" elder sister."

With such an outfit, the whole person really adds a lot of color, not only looks more luxurious, people feel several years younger, and the hugger next to him can't help but praise "Shu Fujin's good craftsmanship." It can be seen that this suit is dressed up What a success.

Yuan Chun raised his hand to remove the hairpin from his head, "I've already dressed up, this is something for my cousin, I'll change back to the original dress."

"I'm not suitable for an overly expensive dress. Jewelry is still dusty if I put it here. It's better to return it to the original owner and make the best use of it. Cousin, don't be polite to me." Lin Yu stretched out her hand to hold Yuan Chun She even stuck out her tongue playfully and said: "Cousin, you see the pearl jewelry I like and I don't want to give it to you." After speaking, he touched it preciously, as if he would not let others touch it.

Yuan Chun forced a smile: "Cousin is just suitable for this pearl head, she looks delicate and cute."

"I think so too, so I can't resist wearing this set of jewelry." Lin Yu said proudly, "Okay, don't argue with me, cousin, I'll help her put on a beautiful makeup, In the evening, I will eat pot with Lord Baylor." The last words were whispered in Yuan Chun's ear again.

Lin Yu didn't wait for Yuanchun's consent, picked up the rouge and water powder, and started to throw away. She really wanted to use her life's skills to dress up a flawless beauty.

When the glamorous Yuan Chun came out of the inner room, the servants who served him were stunned for a moment, and then they were aggrieved. Of course, this is a servant of Zhinian Pavilion, and the common thought in their hearts is: the master is too soft-hearted, and he is too soft-hearted. This cousin, Jiagege, couldn't stand it after complaining a few words, and she wanted to help her regain favor in front of Lord Baylor.There are only a few days in a month, and if Jagger goes away for a few more days, wouldn't there be fewer masters.For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little indescribably weird. Even Yuan Chun could feel the weirdness, but Lin Yu didn't notice it and acted like a normal person.

About the time of sitting for a cup of tea, Yuan Chun, who was restless and felt uncomfortable, finally couldn't sit still, "Cousin, I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with Sister Song. It's almost time, so I'll go back first."

"Cousin, why don't you ask Baoqin to send a letter back and make an appointment at another day, my sister has made arrangements for today." Lin Yuwan stayed.

"Yeah, what Shu Fujin said is right, this slave girl will go back and send a message to Song Gege." Baoqin beside him didn't remember that Gege had an appointment with Song Gege, he just thought he didn't know, and didn't want Yuanchun to miss out on such a good return. Opportunity persuaded.Baoqin is really grateful to Lin Yu. I thought Ge Ge had been hot-faced and cold-ass for the past two months, and even complained in his heart that Lin Yu didn't care about his cousin's affection and didn't know how to pull out his cousin, but today's After the action, Baoqin no longer complained, only full of gratitude. She thought that if Gege really succeeded in regaining her favor, then she would treat Lin Yu as her second master in the future.Therefore, how can they watch Yuan Chun push out the opportunity that is at his fingertips.

"Baoqin, I'm talking to my cousin, so there's no place for you to intervene." Both of them stopped, Yuan Chun's tone suddenly became sharp, and Baoqin was taken aback.

Lin Yu was also a little scared because of this sentence. Yuan Chun realized that something was wrong, so he quickly pulled out a smile and covered it up: "Sister Song, there is no need to specifically say, cousin, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, and I want to go back and rest first. .” Yuan Chun showed a lack of energy at the right time.

"What's wrong with my cousin, do you want someone to take a look?" Lin Yu asked worriedly.

"No..., no..." Yuan Chun hurriedly stopped.

"Since that's the case, cousin should go back and rest quickly, and can only wait for the next time..."

"Master Belle is here!"

Lin Yu hadn't finished speaking when a voice came from outside, pulling Yuan Chun out to meet him in surprise.

"Greetings to Grandpa!"

"Greetings to Lord Baylor!"

"Exemption."

Lin Yu stood up very consciously, and turned around in front of Yinzhen, "Master, look at the new clothes of the concubine and sister, do they look good?" After speaking, she deliberately pulled Yuan Chun, and the two stood together like two The flowers with different postures are really beautiful.

Yinzhen first looked Lin Yu up and down, then swept his eyes over Yuan Chun, and nodded in praise: "Not bad."

"Thank you for your praise. My sister's clothes are all matched by the concubine. These were given to the concubine by my sister's mother when the concubine was in Rongguo Mansion." Shake it up.

Hearing this, the expression on Yuan Chun's face became more and more unnatural, and he couldn't wait any longer.Yuan Chun made up his mind to leave: "My lord, forgive me, the servant girl suddenly feels unwell, so I will leave first."

"En." Yinzhen waved his hand to indicate that he could step back.

"Cousin..." Lin Yu shouted.

Yuan Chun forced a smile: "I'll come back to look for a watch some other day... and pay my respects to Shu Fu Jin." After saying that, he saluted and left quickly with the movement of holding the piano. His Excellency Chinen couldn't react for a while. What are you doing?

"Why do you feel unwell all of a sudden?" Lin Yu's gaze remained in the direction Yuan Chun left, unable to recover, unconsciously chanting the thoughts in his heart.

"If you feel unwell, you should go back and rest." As expected, she was a soft-hearted silly woman, and Yin Zhen who consciously understood what Lin Yu meant today shook his head, saying that he would not favor Jia Shi any more.

Lin Yu covered her mouth, her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe the words in her heart.

"What's for dinner tonight?" Yinzhen tapped Lin Yu's head.

Lin Yu touched the place where he was knocked, and soon forgot what happened just now when he talked about eating, and said excitedly: "The mutton pot, it will be warmer after eating. I feel that my body has been cold and uncomfortable recently, especially..." At the end, I remembered that I couldn't speak out about the private affairs of the woman's family, so I quickly stopped mentioning them.

"What?" Yin Zhen asked.

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Lin Yu looked embarrassed, and didn't want to mention such embarrassing things again.

"But where is it uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, please ask the imperial physician to see it. You can't avoid medicine and medicine." Yinzhen's face became serious, and he stared at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was so helpless, she hesitated for a while, and then moved to Yinzhen and whispered into his ear: "It's just that the past two months have been very painful, and maids and concubines didn't have such serious symptoms before. , I don’t know if it’s because the capital is too cold in winter.”

Yinzhen coughed in embarrassment, his ears turned red, "I'd better ask the imperial physician to take a look."

"No, no, maids and concubines know medicinal food, just eat more medicinal food to warm up, and if it doesn't improve, it's not too late to ask the imperial physician." Lin Yu's face was flushed, and she waved her hands repeatedly to refuse.

"Be careful, don't force yourself." Yinzhen didn't force it in the end.

"Gege, walk slowly." Baoqin couldn't keep up with Yuanchun's pace, so he had to persuade him.

Yuan Chun in the front didn't seem to have heard it, and he kept rushing forward. When he got back to the yard and closed the door, he didn't care about panting. The first thing he did was to remove the headband worn on his head and neck, and then Just peeling off the clothes, Baoqin, who was almost running back while watching, was dumbfounded.

Greg what's wrong?
