The Founding of the Red Chamber

People have their own personalities.

Tu Xiaosan is no exception.

To say that Tu Xiaosan is cruel and merciless, but Tu Xiaosan also has his own advantages. The advantage of Tu Xiaosan is that he prefers educated and knowledgeable people.

Yes, at the beginning knowing that Xiao Niuzi had studied, Tu Xiaosan arranged Xiao Niuzi to his younger brother Tu Xiaosi, also thinking that his brother would be educated.However, my younger brother is really not a material for studying.When he came to Tu Xiaosan, he was very willing to study, but Tu Xiaosan had a lot of things to do, and with a large group of brothers, he was always busy with making a living, so he had no time to study.However, this does not affect Tu Xiaosan's respect for scholars at all.

Of course, not all scholars deserve the respect of Tu Xiaosan.Like the county magistrate who received a lot of filial piety from him at the foot of the mountain, he was also a scholar. Although Tu Xiaosan gave a lot of money, he didn't take this kind of people seriously in his heart.Like those officials and masters in Jinling City, Tu Xiaosan didn't even pay attention to them. Now he only regrets why he didn't kill more.

Rather than saying that what Tu Xiaosan respects is scholars, it is better to say that what Tu Xiaosan respects is knowledge.

As Tu Xiaosan said, the youngest person at the foot of the mountain was a 37-year-old scholar, and Tu Xiaosan saw him as far inferior to Lin Jing.

Of course, I don't know if it's because Lin Jing was young and born well.

In short, Tu Xiaosan liked Lin Jing very much.

Lin Jing was different from all the scholars he knew. Even Xiao Niuzi was a little arrogant when he joined them for the first time.Lin Jing is different, Lin Jing is not arrogant at all, and he has no intention of looking down on them. Although he has a childish temper, Lin Jing is true, and he is not false at all.Regarding the well-known "slick" master Lin Si in the imperial capital, I don't know how Tu Xiaosan saw Lin Jing's "true" quality.

Lin Jing is not difficult to get along with except for his delicate nature. He doesn't just know a few books on Xiaosan's case, he understands everything.Even Tu Xiaosan knew many kinds of medicinal materials in the mountains, not to mention that Tu Xiaosan had been in the medicinal material business when he was young, but his understanding of medicinal materials was not as good as Lin Jing.Some people on the mountain had a little ailment, Lin Jing could prescribe a prescription when he felt the pulse, and he dared to treat someone's illness after picking the medicine.

Also, it's cold in the mountains, so some herbs can be put in the porridge to prevent the wind and cold.When I was injured while hunting, what herbs were used to heal the injury.It was some things that the apprentice Xiaosan and the others had snatched but didn't sell. Lin Jing sorted them into categories, roughly estimated the price, and told them not to sell them cheaply.

You can really tell whether a person has knowledge or not.

Tu Xiaosan treated Lin Jing as if he were a guest of honour, a precious thing.

The people in the whole village were very polite to Lin Jing when they knew that Lin Jing would see a doctor.After all, who doesn't have a headache.The Jia brothers were more careful, and they even inquired with their apprentice Xiaosan in private, "Third brother, Ah Jing went up the mountain with us, and no one came to look for him."

Jia Yan said, "Look at him, no one is looking for him, no one is asking. We are short of people on the mountain, and we are still short of such a man of culture. If you want me to say, let him stay on the mountain. It seems that he also likes staying on the mountain. .”

Tu Xiaosan said, "Let's see and talk."

Tu Xiaosan also wants Lin Jing to stay, Lin Jing is so nice, although he is a bit picky.In Tu Xiaosi's words, "You're so squeamish, you don't look like a man." Ever since Tu Xiaosi found out that he misunderstood Lin Jing's gender, he resumed his nasty behavior toward Lin Jing. Therefore, Tu Xiaosi hated Lin Jing even more.

Probably Tu Xiaosi felt that Lin Jing had deceived his innocent youthful feelings, and he always looked at Lin Jing a bit disliked.Lin Jing's temper, you can coax him, if you find fault with him, it will be considered a hard fault.

Lin Jing was really a born young embryo, fortunately it was his apprentice Xiaosan who picked him up and brought him back to the cottage, otherwise based on Lin Jing, it is estimated that the assassin did not kill him, and he would not be able to survive.

It's not that he has extravagant requirements for life, and it's not the same as the rich young master who Tu Xiaosi usually thinks of wearing gold and silver.When Lin Jing came up the mountain, he was dressed in elegant clothes, and all the valuables were actually a piece of jade on his waist and a crown on his head. Other than that, Lin Jing didn't even have a purse for money.Tu Xiaosi felt that Lin Jing was not as rich as the rich men he robbed in his daily life.

Fortunately, Lin Jing doesn't ask for delicacies from mountains and seas on weekdays.Just wear clothes, as long as you are comfortable.

However, Lin Jing, who seems to have no requirements, seems to be more difficult to raise than those who have requirements.

As far as meals are concerned, Lin Jing doesn't eat much, and eats more vegetarians.However, his requirements for food, such as white porridge, the porridge cooked by the cook in the village is absolutely unbearable.Lin Jing had to instruct the cook to boil the porridge until the water and rice blended together before he could eat it.Tired of the cook, he boiled a small bowl of porridge that Lin Jing drank all morning. The porridge was spoiled before, and life on the mountain was not easy, so Tu Xiaosan and the others shared the food and refused to waste any.Lin Jing just drank porridge and ate some radish and green vegetables every day.Tu Xiaosan baked the wheat cakes. Lin Jing thought it was delicious, so he ate two more pieces, and then he was full. He was hungry for a whole day.

The sweet potatoes baked by Tu Xiaosi were fragrant and sweet, and Lin Jing liked it very much once he ate it. Afterwards, his stomach became acidic, and he lost his appetite for another day.

Tu Xiaosi, who had always been at odds with Lin Jing, said, "This young master from a wealthy family is not very good. Seeing that he can't eat anything, what kind of blessing can he enjoy!"

All in all, Lin Jing is definitely a delicate person.

Besides dressing, Lin Jing wore too much of Tu Xiaosan's clothes.As for Tu Xiaosi, Lin Jing resolutely refused to talk about Tu Xiaosi's clothes because he had little relationship with Tu Xiaosi.Xiao Niuzi's is suitable, but I don't know how Lin Jing's fleshy skin grows, but he insists that the clothes are worn out.For those who are petty, just say that Lin Jing doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, and the little cow gave him clothes he didn't wear.Tu Xiaosi threw a handful of soybean grains under his brother's mattress, but Tu Xiaosan didn't feel anything, Lin Jing didn't sleep well all night, so he lit the lamp and lifted the mattress to see, sure enough they were all soybean grains.Lin Jing said angrily, "It must be Xiaosi's fault!"

Tu Xiaosan hurriedly coaxed him, "Sleep first, sleep first, just collect the beans, I'll talk to him tomorrow."

Lin Jing snorted and said to Tu Xiaosan, "You really know how to spoil him! Third brother, haven't you heard a saying that calling a drowning child like killing a child is the truth that you can't spoil a child!"

Tu Xiaosan said, "Then I'll beat him up tomorrow."

"That's okay, a little thing, it seems that I have no heart, how can I be as knowledgeable as a child." Lin Jing turned over and muttered, "My whole back is sore."

"I'll give you a rub."

Tu Xiaosan is really precious Lin Jing, he feels that this child is born different from them, so delicate, and so knowledgeable.Lin Jing said, "You are not allowed to tell others."

Well, it's still very face-saving.Tu Xiaosan suppressed a smile and promised, "Absolutely not."

Lin Jing is actually a vigilant person. The key point is that Tu Xiaosan behaved very decently. Lin Jing was so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep, so he asked Tu Xiaosan to rub him.Tu Xiaosan asked himself and saw a lot, even girls, when he was in Jinling City, he also met rich girls.Like before, Zhang Biao married the daughter of the Cao Gang, and she was also a daughter of a daughter.It's just that Tu Xiaosan seems to have lost the contrast with the men and women he has seen in his life in Lin Jing's place.Compared with Lin Jing, no one has Lin Jing's knowledge.Compared with Lin Jing, women are as rough as men.Tu Xiaosan felt that the word "Jinggui" in this world was used to describe Lin Jing.

For Lin Jing, he has no sense of right and wrong.

He judges whether a person is good or bad, not by whether the person does good or bad deeds, but by whether the person treats him well or badly.Therefore, in Lin Jing's eyes, Tu Xiaosan was obviously classified as a good person.

Especially Brother Tu San, who went down the mountain to buy fine grain rice and fine cotton cloth for himself.Lin Jing really felt that Brother Tu San was a good person.Therefore, Lin Jing didn't care too much about Tu Xiaosi's matter, but he still said that Tu Xiaosi was naive, and at the same time showed that he had a big heart and was not in common sense with Tu Xiaosi. .

Fortunately, Tu Xiaosi had little knowledge, and he couldn't understand Lin Jing's oblique remarks about him.

Lin Jing said with emotion, "It can be regarded as knowing what it means to play the piano against a cow."

Tu Xiaosi shook his fist, "If you talk about Xiao Niuzi again, I will really beat you up."

The little Niuzi, who was handling the accounts, paused for a pen and said, "He's talking about how you are!"

"Say me, what do you say about me? My surname is not Niu."

Lin Jing said bluntly, "Say you are stupid!"

Tu Xiaosi almost didn't fight Lin Jing again, but soon, Tu Xiaosi lost his arrogance, he fell ill and suffered from severe cold.This is a fatal disease even at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, Tu Xiaosi met Lin Jing, and Lin Jing said, "It's his fate!" Then, Lin Jing prescribed a prescription. After all, there are limited medicinal materials on the mountain, so I have to go down the mountain to buy it. .For the sake of his younger brother, Tu Xiaosan went down the mountain overnight to grab medicine.

Lin Jing had seized the opportunity to take revenge, Huang Lian and those who didn't want money sent to Tu Xiaosi, and Tu Xiaosi said, "I'd rather die than take medicine, it's so hard that I'm dead."

Jia Yuan said to him, "Little Si, you are so sorry, you know how expensive this soup and medicine are, and one medicine is five taels of silver!"

Tu Xiaosi's eyes widened, "Why is it so expensive!"

Lin Jing raised his chin, "The life-saving medicine is not expensive! For the sake of my third brother, I haven't confiscated your consultation fee yet! Otherwise, you just want to see a cure for five taels of silver, so go dreaming!"

Tu Xiaosi said stiffly, "I wonder if you can treat me. If you show it to Dr. Shanxia, ​​it will get better quickly and save money."

"Don't take the medicine I prescribed if you have the ability."

"Why don't I eat it? I bought it all back, and the money was spent. If I don't eat it, it would be a waste of money." Anyway, Tu Xiaosi refused to accept Lin Jing's feelings, so Lin Jing continued to give him medical orders to ban him. Eat meat and meat, vegetarian health.

This time it took half of Tu Xiaosi's life, he drank the porridge until the bird came out of his mouth, moreover, this time trying to get Xiao Niuzi to sneak out of his way would not work.Xiao Niuzi watched him the most closely, he was able to pick out the dried meat stolen by disciple Xiaosi just after he put it in his mouth.Tu Xiaosan was so angry that he couldn't help it, but fortunately, he was rough since he was a child, and he was not a person who didn't know what to do. He knew that Xiao Niuzi was worried about his illness and recovery.

As his condition improved, Tu Xiaosi became more and more craving for meat. Lin Jing gritted his teeth and did not let go, and said, "If you let him eat indiscriminately, don't come to me if he eats badly."

In this cottage, Dr. Lin's words are really more effective than imperial edicts.

In the end, Tu Xiaosi couldn't help being greedy, reluctantly apologized to Lin Jing and said kind words, admitting his childish behavior earlier, Lin Jing then lifted the doctor's order for him and announced that Tu Xiaosi had recovered.

In order to celebrate his younger brother's recovery, Tu Xiaosan killed a pig raised on the mountain, and the whole village ate the meat.In fact, there are more than [-] people in the village, and most of them are half-sized. There is not enough for a pig, it is nothing more than a bowl of meat for each person.Lin Jing also asked for a bowl, and said in a daze, "You don't eat meat."

"Who said I wouldn't eat it." Lin Jing demanded a share from him. He is also a doctor. He saved Tu Xiaosi this time, and everyone knows his medical skills are superb. He didn't just ask for one bowl, but two bowls. , I have to give it too.

Lin Jing himself didn't eat meat, so he gave his own portion to apprentice Xiaosan.

Tu Xiaosi clicked his tongue twice, and Lin Jing taught him, "Third brother has lost weight because of your illness, and you are also a younger brother, so you don't want to care about third brother."

Tu Xiaosi said, "Who says I don't care about my brother, I care more than you."

Lin Jing squinted, "I didn't see it."

Tu Xiaosi wanted to reply a few more words, but Lin Jing gave Tu Xiaosan two pieces of softly stewed pork belly and said, "This pork belly is the most delicious, third brother, you eat it."

"You eat too." Tu Xiaosan felt that Lin Jing was very considerate.It's just that he doesn't know how to eat. Who doesn't know that eating meat is the only way to grow strong. Lin Jing is very bad at eating. He basically doesn't eat meat, whether it's stewed or roasted, he doesn't touch it.He just loves to drink porridge, and Tu Xiaosan felt that it was strange that he was born so weak, how could he eat like this, he would starve to death in a few years.

Tu Xiaosan himself was growing taller, so he felt much better after eating two bowls of meat, seeing Lin Jing still eating porridge with vegetables.The next day I made a good one for Lin Jing. Lin Jing didn't know what kind of meat it was, but it tasted very delicious, and there was absolutely no feeling of meat.Lin Jing also asked what it was.Tu Xiaosan said, "This is wild game. It's more nourishing. It's almost autumn, so I'll give you some nourishment."

Lin Jing found that Tu Xiaosan had a talent for cooking, better than the cooks in the village.Like pheasant soup, the cooks in the village did not know how to clean it up. Anyway, Lin Jing always felt like chicken excrement when drinking it.Tu Xiaosan's stewed soup is very delicious, and with a few mushrooms from the mountains, Lin Jing especially likes to drink it.

Fortunately, after being taught by Tu Xiaosan, the cooking skills of the cooks in the village have improved a lot.

Lin Jing grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has never seen any kind of person. He can see through the narrow-mindedness of this cook at a glance.It was nothing more than the fact that he was robbed up the mountain at first, so the cook naturally ignored his words.Seeing that Third Brother Tu is treating him well now, the cook has changed the direction of the wind here.

Lin Jing was not a big-hearted person either, since the snobby cook turned his back on him, Lin Jing treated him with some good dishes.

Lin Jing lived in the cottage smoothly, but he didn't know that the assassination of his convoy in the imperial capital really set off a huge wave.
