Red Mansions: No Tears

? After Lin Yu sent his mother-in-law to Xinglu Courtyard to invite Lin Daiyu to have dinner in the small hall in the front yard, he went to the small hall first. He sat there alone, and a sudden thought flew through his messy mind: " Alas! How can I ask such a thing?!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Although he knew that Lin Daiyu was not as proud, sad, and sentimental as the one written in the book, but...after all, she was still a little girl in ancient times, with such a big face Is it really okay to discuss your marriage with a young girl who has not left the cabinet...?

"Brother?" As soon as Lin Daiyu arrived, she saw Lin Yu sitting at the table in a daze, occasionally sighing, as if she was in some serious trouble.

Hearing the sound, Lin Yu quickly stood up and greeted Lin Daiyu, saying, "Hey? !My sister is here, sit and sit, brother, I heard that the farm sent some fresh ducks today, so I ordered the kitchen to make a rouge goose. I remember that when I was in Yangzhou, my sister always ate less, and only this dish was served When the table is open, I am willing to eat two more mouthfuls of rice. "

Lin Daiyu smiled dumbly. Lin Yu's remarks were obviously random nonsense. She had never heard that Lin Yu cared about what dishes would be cooked in the kitchen every day, and what dishes to cook. She always ate whatever was available, and there were When I forget myself while reading, I have to be reminded repeatedly by the servants around me, so that he can barely eat two mouthfuls of food, let alone... It seems that in the morning Ziyun once said that his uncle bought several books from the street yesterday, according to His habit is that he would spend all day in the study today. If Zhao Hui hadn't come to visit suddenly, how could he have such a meal to enhance the friendship between brothers and sisters?

"Come on~ Yu'er doesn't know what kind of temperament my brother is? I'm afraid that Madam Qiu knew that I like to eat it, so she ordered it to be made early in the morning? Otherwise, it would only be more than an hour, how could I have time to make this dish?" A dish that takes a lot of effort?" Lin Daiyu smiled, and broke Lin Yu's words rudely.

"Yu'er is indeed very smart. I really had a sudden whim. I wanted to say that I haven't had a meal with you for a long time. After talking a few words, I happened to know that the kitchen was making this dish, so I took advantage of the situation and asked them to prepare this dish. Yu'er...you won't be angry with your brother because of this, right?" Lin Yu just blushed a little, but he wasn't annoyed at what Lin Daiyu said, because in his mind, if Lin Daiyu couldn't bear such a levelless lie, then he would Worry about it.

"Angry? Why? I just thought my brother might have something to ask me." Lin Daiyu still had a smile on her face.

"Uh?! Where is... eat, eat! If you have anything to do, you have to wait until you are full." Lin Yu was speechless for a while, just in time to see the women and maids bringing food, so she quickly changed the subject.

Because Lin Daiyu never made Lin Yu lose face in front of outsiders' servants, she pursed her lips and signaled Chunxiao to come forward to serve the meal. Seeing this, Lin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because he didn't have a personal maid, and it was inconvenient for the servants When he came in, he had to wrong Xia Ling to prepare the dishes for him, and there was silence on the table for a while.

After the meal, without waiting for Lin Yu to speak, Lin Daiyu ordered hot tea on her own initiative, and then calmly waited for Lin Yu to figure out how to tell her what Zhao Hui said today. Looking a little restless, Lin Daiyu was already sure that Zhao Hui must have come to ask the Lin family to find someone to go to the palace to propose marriage today, but because she didn't know what answer Lin Yu gave the other party, so she could only wait.

Lin Yu saw that Lin Daiyu made it clear that he didn't intend to go back to the yard, and he didn't dare to just go out of the way, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to sit there, and the two of them couldn't stand each other... Wait, wait, wait, wait until the hot tea It was already the third time, and Lin Yu finally had to lose.

"My sister has already guessed why Brother Zhao came to visit today, right?" Lin Yu sighed softly, looking at Lin Daiyu with a seemingly helpless look.

"What is brother talking about? Yu'er really doesn't know." Lin Daiyu asked innocently.

"You really...why bother to go to such lengths? We and the Wangfu are not the same people on the cards. It is a blessing to have you and Ms. Zhao San become confidantes. If you want her to marry the Lin family... it would be too wronged. It can only be said that my brother is useless, and I can't restore the Lin family to its former glory one day earlier. My sister must be in a moment of desperation, but you should discuss it with your brother, so that I won't be surprised when I hear such unexpected news. I don't know how to deal with it properly, and this kind of thing, I always feel that no matter whether I agree or not, it is wrong, oh~ what should I call you brother?" Lin Yu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how the palace would fall in love with him A descendant of a down-and-out family, and he is only a descendant of the five clothes, for those orthodox families, this is not a very serious background, let alone the more noble royal family?

So Lin Yu, who thinks he has some knowledge, finally thought that the palace could choose him as the son-in-law of the third girl of the palace. Inadvertently involved him, and some words were accidentally passed to the ears of the elders, so that the prince and the princess had the intention of making a marriage, but the girl of the Prince Zhongsu's mansion~ no matter how inconspicuous her identity is, she is still the prince His daughter is still of royal blood, just imagine that Qin Keqing, who died for several years, is also the same... Otherwise, the dignified son of Duke Ningguo would be willing to marry the adopted daughter of a fifth-rank official?Even if it's just for that...

"Brother can't push the matter on me. As far as my sister knows, Lord Zhen Guo seems to have intended to marry my brother many years ago. It's just because my brother didn't have any fame at that time, so he couldn't bring it up to the prince. Fortunately, Sister Hua is young and can afford to wait, otherwise this flower would end up in someone else's house." Lin Daiyu shook her head hastily, and at the same time defended herself.

"How is it possible?!" Lin Yu's eyes widened in surprise, thinking to himself: Is this a belated crossing of the halo?Although I have been here for more than ten years, I have never done any great cause that shakes the world, weeps ghosts and gods, and spreads my reputation all over the world. A big cake would suddenly fall down... It really made him panic, and he was afraid that it would be a big trap.

In other words, Lin Yu never thought of meddling in the royal family's affairs, so from the Dragon's work... He always felt that it would be better for others to do such an important matter, but Zhongsu Palace suddenly handed him an olive branch and asked him to Had to think a little more.

"I remember that the Zhongsu Palace has always been a neutral faction, right? I have never heard of any prince getting close to them, right? It shouldn't matter to them who will be the emperor in the future, right?" Lin Yu didn't know whether he was asking Lin Daiyu or himself when he blurted out these words, as if they were just muttering to himself, not expecting anyone to give an answer.

Lin Daiyu doesn't understand politics, and Jiang Ke wouldn't tell her the court secrets, so she just blinked, and then said innocently: "I don't know what the position of the Zhongsu Palace is, but I know that Mr. Chong He and Uncle Yongtang are going to Beijing with their families, and counting the days, they should arrive at the beginning of next month, and I was thinking that we might as well sort out the Jiaoliao Courtyard and Jianxi Courtyard for them to live in."

"How could Uncle Chong and Uncle Yongtang want to come to the capital?!" Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then asked a little defensively. It wasn't that he didn't welcome the arrival of the Lin clan, and he was keeping a filial piety for Lin Ruhai in Suzhou. During those days, these two elders were actually very kind to him and Lin Daiyu, but they suddenly came to Beijing for no reason, so it must be thought-provoking, but unfortunately he didn't expect that the instigator would be his own sister.

"I remember when I was in Suzhou, I heard that Uncle Yongtang said that Brother Yi very much hoped to have the opportunity to come to the capital to find a way out. At that time, I thought that they might hope to get on the way of Jia's family, but it was just possible. Later, I learned the true faces of those people in the Rongguo Mansion, so I never mentioned it again, um~ Anyway, my elder brother has to have elder relatives to come forward to get married. It is naturally impossible to let all the clansmen go to Beijing, but I will always do it if I invite a few familiar people. Got it? So I asked Steward Lin to send someone back to Suzhou to invite Uncle Chong and the others to come!" Lin Daiyu rarely showed a childish mood begging for approval.

"You~" Lin Yu could only shake his head dumbfoundedly when he heard the words, and said, "Since we have already invited people here, what else can I say? Fortunately, there are many vacant rooms in our house, and Uncle Yutang and his two families also There are not many people, just arrange it as you like!"

"Food and lodging are of course up to me to arrange, but whether they stay for a long time or temporarily depends on what my brother wants. The so-called 'fat water does not fall into the fields of outsiders', you also know that the rich families like Rongning and Ningfu, the family Those who are really in power in China are those with titles or official positions, and these people usually encounter the kind of good jobs that can only be done by trusted people. When they wait for good things, they will first find the children of the side branches to undertake them, and those who come out will get other people's turn. Although we don't have these troublesome things now, but when my brother stays in the officialdom for a few more years, sooner or later we will encounter similar situations Yes, shouldn't we also consider promoting our own family members first? It's just that if this person can use it well, he should hone it for a while, right? So..." Lin Daiyu replied with a smile.

"I understand, I understand, just like Jiang Hua next to Brother Jiang Qi. It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I just didn't expect my sister to move faster than me." Lin Yu naturally understood what Lin Daiyu meant, and he also I thought about whether to wait until I have an errand, and then depending on the situation, find a couple of brothers from the clan who were in harmony with each other when I was in Suzhou to come to Beijing to help, and by the way, I can promote them. Unexpectedly, he just thought about it, but Lin Daiyu Someone has already been found.

But anyway, both brothers and sisters know who among the people of the Lin clan can help them, so Lin Yu is not worried that Lin Daiyu will find some top-quality guys. Of course, if there are those who can't wait, take the initiative It's not impossible for him to resolve it... But speaking of it, it's probably only at this time that he would secretly rejoice unkindly: Fortunately, there are not many people in the Lin clan...

After talking with Lin Daiyu this day, Lin Yu let go of his uneasiness. After all, he must trust the eyes of the fairy sister, right?Miss Zhao San can get into the eyes of Sister Lin, so her moral character should not be too bad, otherwise she would have been rejected a long time ago, so now, he just needs to finish the imperial examination with peace of mind, and then quickly find an official matchmaker to go to Zhongsu The prince's marriage proposal is the one. After all, the act of people personally coming to imply that the two families can discuss marriage is just a kind of tacit understanding under the table. Bar? !If he was really stupid like that, Prince Zhongsu would definitely ask for another son-in-law without saying a word, he would never be so stupid. ?
