The Founding of the Red Chamber

On the second day, Lin Jing got up early in the morning and specifically asked Nanny Zhang to find him a peach red robe to wear. Nanny Zhang muttered, "Isn't the fourth master the least fond of red robes? Didn't make a few red robes."

"Huh? Didn't do anything?" Lin Jing said, "I'm still young, and I look good in red."

Madam Zhang was the one who took care of Lin Jing when he was sent to the Palace of Mercy. After watching him grow up, she also had a little understanding of his temperament, and said, "Why does the fourth master suddenly want to wear a red robe? It has to be pink." ?” Aunt Zhang took a look, and there must be a reason.

Lin Jing didn't say anything, but said, "I suddenly remembered, Mammy, didn't you praise me for looking good in red clothes before? You also said that I am white, and red clothes are the best, right? I remember it all. "

Nanny Zhang can't do anything about him.Although Lin Jing didn't like red robes in the past, but preferred mature colors such as lake blue and beautiful green, but my son, Lin Jing is such an age, he will have some clothes of any color.There are pink robes, of course.

All of a sudden, the eldest maid found her, and Lin Jing changed with a smile on her face.Nanny Zhang put on a purple gold inlaid crown for him, a mutton fat ruyi pendant on his waist, and a pouch with a pattern of folded lotus branches, neatly arranged inside and out, and followed Lin Jing to the main courtyard to greet him for dinner.

When Lin Yi went to court, breakfast was always very early, and Lin Jing was sleeping, so they were usually in each courtyard.Only when Lin Yi was resting and taking a bath, the breakfast time was postponed, and Lin Jing went to have dinner together.As for Lin Sa and Lin Duan, since they were all married, Lin Yi asked them to eat in their own courtyard.

Lin Jing greeted his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and Yue smiled, "Fourth Uncle, come here, you look really energetic today." Lin Jing's appearance is not as tough and handsome as Lin Yi's, but rather delicate and upright. When he was a teenager, his skin was like jade, white to transparent, a pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to contain a clear spring, black and white were distinct, and the tails of the eyes were raised, revealing some smiles.

Every time he looked at Lin Jing's appearance, the Yue clan felt that not to mention the sons and brothers of the imperial capital, even the ladies of the imperial capital were not so handsome.Yue Shi asked with a smile, "Did Fourth Uncle sleep well last night?"

"Very good, I had no dreams all night." Lin Jing said, "I didn't know when I returned home yesterday, and I didn't come to visit my sister-in-law."

Yue Shi smiled and was about to speak when Lin Yi said, "Why did you come here so soon?"

"I thought, it's rare for elder brother to take a rest, so I dressed up solemnly before coming to say hello to elder brother." Lin Jing said in a tricky manner, Lin Yi said, "Forget Miss Xia here, you are just so showy, no one Qualitative, it’s a joke.”

"I'm not sure yet." Lin Jing smiled and said to Yue Shi with an expression of "brother, you're out", "I'll tell my sister-in-law later."

Lin Yi disdains, whoever he likes to talk to.

Yue Shi smiled, "Okay, it's time to eat." He ordered the maid to pass the meal, and served Lin Yi to the dining room for breakfast. Lin Jing naturally followed all the way. Seeing his favorite white shrimp on the table, he couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly. , winking at Yueshi.

Lin Yi said, "What kind of weirdness is this?"

Lin Jing didn't speak, just sat down and had breakfast.After breakfast, half a cup of warm water was used, and the carriages and horses were ready outside, Lin Jing left his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and went to find his fiancée for an outing together.

Lin Jing first took a car to Xia's house to pick up his fiancée, and greeted Xia Yunchu, "Sit with me."

Xia Yunchu poohed him, "Don't tell me my family doesn't have a car?"

Lin Jing went over to help her get into the car, and smiled, "I'm afraid that you will be tired from driving alone."

Xia Yunchu glanced at his peach red robe, and wished he could immediately change into his own peach red shirt, thinking, there is no one in the world who hates him more than Lin Xiaosi, how did this kid guess that I was going to wear a peach red shirt?

Xia Silang and Xia Wulang thought, oh, my sister (sister) made an appointment with Lin Xiaosi to wear the same color clothes.

In the end, Xia Wulang and Lin Jing shared a car, and Xia Yunchu was accompanied by two maids in the car. Xia Silang's family was strict, so he wanted to ride a car, but at his age he wanted to ride a horse.

Led by Lin Jing, the group went to Concubine Xie's residence.

Concubine Xie, at her age, likes children the most, but she was born to meet Lin Jing, who grew up in the harem and is good at women's hands. Therefore, she has a unique kind of care and consideration for women since she came.This kind of caring and considerate is especially reflected in older women, such as Xia Yunchu's peers, Lin Jing likes to tease her.Lin Jing is caring and considerate for elders like the concubine.

Concubine Xie saw that Xia Yunchu and Lin Jing were both handsome and well-behaved children, she pulled one hand towards Chu Miaoyan if she liked it, and said to Chu Miaoyan with a smile, "Look at Miaoyan, Ah Jing and Yunchu, these clothes and styles are just as good as they are Isn't it the golden boy and jade girl under the seat of Guanyin?"

Chu Miao smiled, "Yes." Then she asked Lin Jing and Xia Yunchu, "Is this an agreement to wear the same clothes?" It's funny that they are young.

Xia Yunchu hurriedly said, "Sister Chu, it's nothing, I don't know why the younger brother of the Lin family wears the same color clothes as me. He never wears a red robe when he usually goes to my house."

Lin Jing whispered into Dowager Xie's ear, Dowager Xie laughed, Xia Yunchu glanced at Lin Xiaosi, but couldn't say anything.

Lin Jing said again, "It's not hot today, even if the wind is a bit chilly at night, you'd better bring a thin cloak."

Chu Miaoyan smiled, "I have brought them all."

Lin Jing hurriedly said, "With Sister Chu here, my mother is naturally considerate in everything. Hey, my elder brother said that I am born with a worrying temper."

Concubine Xie Chu Miaoyan couldn't help pursing her lips in joy when she saw that other people were not very old but talked like adults.

Concubine Xie went to the nunnery to eat vegetarian food, but she was just looking for an excuse to go outside the city to relax and take a look at the green mountains, green trees, flowers, plants, insects and fish.Lin Jing was the guide, and took Xia Yunchu and Xia Si and Xia Wu to enjoy the scenery in the nunnery. They are not very old, and the two families are married. It's not the time to avoid suspicion, so it's okay to have some contacts.

Xia Yunchu said, "Wai Xian'an temples are all in the city, but this Peach Blossom Temple is outside the city. This place is really quiet."

"What's the point of visiting temples in the city all the time? It's nothing more than heavy buildings in the courtyard, lacquered gold statues, Bodhisattva Buddhas, etc. The difference is that there are many people and few people. This Peach Blossom Temple has the best scenery in spring when the peach blossoms are in bloom. The fragrance of peach blossoms. There are fish in the river outside, and there is a spring water a little far away. The water is sweet, and the fish soup is cooked in that spring water. It tastes so fresh that it can melt your tongue." Lin Jing and Xia Yunchu said, He also gulped and swallowed.

"Look at this futile look."

Lin Jing always wanted face the most, how could he be looked down upon by his fiancée, and said, "You haven't eaten it, if you want to eat it, you want to."

Xia Yunchu felt strange, "Why, when you come to the nunnery, you can still get fish soup." Isn't everyone in the nunnery a vegetarian?

"No, I came with Guan Xiaoer that time. We didn't go to the nunnery for dinner. We brought our own cooking utensils and asked the cook to cook the fish soup." Lin Jing said, "Fresh fish in spring, fresh in autumn Fish fat, baby girl, when we come over in autumn, we can gather around the grilled fish and eat it, it's also very good."

Xia Yunchu was quite moved, she was not a manipulative temperament, so she was not polite to Lin Jing, and said, "Then you can remember."

Lin Jing patted his chest and promised, "Remember, I will never forget about my little sister."

Xia Wulang said, "Brother Ah Jing, I'm coming too."

"Success, how could I forget you, and brother Silang, let's all go together." Lin Jing set the time for the next date.

Xia Silang was older, and said slowly, "We are in the nunnery, and we always talk about chicken, duck and fish, which is not very respectful."

Xia Yunchu said, "Fourth brother, just talk quietly."

After eating vegetarian food at noon, Lin Jing also invited Concubine Xie and Chu Miaoyan to taste the snacks made by Xia Yunchu, which Xia Yunchu brought.Lin Jing, who came from the Palace of Mercy, liked the dim sum made by Xia Yunchu, and Concubine Xie also praised it, "It's really good, even better than the ones in my mansion."

After all, Xia Yunchu was young, so he was naturally happy to be praised by the concubine, but she was brought up at home, and she didn't lose her composure. She said modestly, "I did it carelessly, and the empress likes it. I will do more next time."

Lin Jing and Concubine Xie said, "Your Majesty has face, my little sister doesn't often cook, and I begged her three or four times before she cooks for me."

Xia Yunchu said, "Who is like you, you know what you want to eat when you see me, and those who don't know think you are starving at home."

Lin Jing blinked at Concubine Xie, "Did you hear me, you can't always ask for it."

Xia Yunchu pinched Lin Jing's arm, Lin Jing screamed, and said angrily, "If you do it again, I won't be polite." It's fine to bully the little daughter-in-law twice in private on weekdays, anyway, no one will see it, this, this in Tai In front of the concubine, tell him to be angry with a girl, where will the face of a man be put.

Xia Yunchu was the same age as Lin Jing, but his birth date was a little older, but he was half a head taller, he was not afraid of him when he heard Lin Jing's words, he waved his fist and said, "Just try, I won't beat you to the ground! "

These words are very pungent, but Sister Xia was cute, and she wrinkled the tip of her little nose at the end. Lin Jing was not at all angry when she saw that small appearance, rubbed her arms by herself, and said with a smile, "beat it, beat it , I hurt my hand from beating, I will rub it for you."

Xia Yunchu wanted to beat Lin to death right now!

Concubine Xie Chu Miaoyan couldn't help laughing.

Xia Yunchu felt ashamed and thought that he would never come out with Lin Jing again for the rest of his life.

In the next noon, everyone returned to the city together with Concubine Xie and his party, and first sent Concubine Xie back to the mansion. Lin Jing also told Concubine Xie to rest well, and then sent Xia Yunchu Xia Shilang Xia Wulang back to the mansion. The wife greeted her and asked Xia Yunchu to pay her respects.

Lin Jing was full of energy when he came home, Lin Yi asked, "How was your lunch?"

"Okay, Taohua An vegetarian restaurant is very good." Lin Jing smiled.

The Yue family had already pulled Lin Jing to him and asked him what he ate. He had fun playing, whether he was tired or not. Lin Jing said obediently, and touched Lin Ze's fat face. Jingdao, "I'll go change my clothes first, wash up and then hug Aze."

When Lin Jing went to his courtyard to change clothes and wash up, Lin Yifang said, "Those who don't know think they came back after eating the elixir."

Yue Shi laughed, "How can you be so narrow-minded?"

Concubine Xie is also an imperial concubine, and she will enter the palace to pay her respects on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Empress Dowager Lin is familiar with her and always keeps her talking.Concubine Xie then talked about taking Lin Jing and Xia's children to the nunnery to eat vegetarian food.Lin Jing was brought up under the Empress Dowager Lin's knees, and she made a marriage agreement with the Xia family. Of course, the Empress Dowager Lin was concerned about Xia Yunchu. She had never met Xia Yunchu before, and she was really interested in hearing what Concubine Xie said.
