Chapter 31 Mrs. Wang PK Brother Lin

"Madam, please, Xiqiu said that you have business with your son? My son heard that Aunt Lin's cousins ​​and cousins ​​are here. Has your wife seen them? But at the old ancestor's place?" Jia Baoyu entered the door with a bright red dress and a smile. Greetings to Wang Shuxian, these days my mother is not as strict as she used to see him, which makes him feel a lot easier.

Wang Shuxian smiled and beckoned him to sit down, "Take a rest first, what did you learn in school today? Do you remember everything?"

Jia Baoyu took a sip of tea with a guilty conscience, and replied, "It's not just those things, I'm learning them all."

"Well, the master hasn't seen you for a few days, and it happens that you are free now, so you can follow me to say hello to the master." Wang Shuxian stood up and walked out regardless of Jia Baoyu's pale face after speaking.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly pulled her arm, "Ma'am! Ma'am! I, I haven't gone to see my ancestors yet, here, I'd better..."

Wang Shuxian patted his hand to stop the conversation, "I see you every day, the old lady, so let's go to the master today to show your filial piety. I know you don't want to see the master, but you are so old, why don't you be with Huan'er?" The master has been around for a long time, alas, after all, he is born."

Jia Baoyu blushed with shame, and had no choice but to refuse, "Ma'am, I, I didn't mean that."

Wang Shuxian didn't want to talk nonsense, so she took him directly to Jia Zheng's study. Regardless of Jia Zheng's character, at least he really wanted to discipline Jia Baoyu, and he was more reliable than anyone in Jia's mansion in this regard.

Jia Baoyu dawdled to delay time, but he still saw Jia Zheng not long after.

"Baoyu greets the master." Jia Baoyu lowered his head and called weakly.

Jia Zheng was originally happy that his son came to pay his respects on his own initiative, but when he saw his timid look, he immediately became angry!Wang Shuxian stepped forward to smooth things over in a timely manner, "Master, Baoyu has learned a lot from the master in school, but there are too many children in this school, and Baoyu can't remember some things well, so I want to ask you for advice. It's rare for a child to want to make progress, you can Don't scare him!"

Jia Baoyu's eyes widened behind Wang Shuxian's. Seeing Jia Zheng's relaxed face, he thought his mother was helping him, and felt grateful, so he boldly stepped forward, "Baoyu is stupid, I hope the master will not be angry."

Wang Shuxian was happy, and added more energy, "Look, master, Baoyu came to ask for advice sincerely, you should pay more attention, whether our son can be the number one scholar in the future depends entirely on you!"

Jia Zheng smiled, stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, my son is finally enlightened. From now on, you will come here every day after school, and let me see what you have learned."

Jia Baoyu was stunned, and stammered, "Test... the number one scholar?"

Wang Shuxian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Scholars naturally want to be the number one scholar. It's okay even if you fail the exam. As parents, we just hope you learn more. Even if we are not by your side in the future, you can take care of us." Myself, after all, we are too old to protect you forever. Hey, look at me, what are you talking about! You are still young, you don’t understand these things, you just have to learn from your father and husband. They can't compare, right? They all learn from the female master seriously."

Jia Baoyu was not yet ten years old. Although he didn't like reading, he was dazed by Wang Shuxian's set words.He always felt that he didn't want to take the scientific examination, and reading was useless, not to mention that he didn't like the things in the book, it would be better to play with his sisters for fun.But after hearing his mother's words, it's all because of his parents' intentions. If he doesn't study, it seems that he will hurt his parents' hearts. Besides, his parents are old, so isn't the grandmother who protects him even older?

Jia Zheng took his silence as approval, and looked at him with relief, "Your mother is right, I was too demanding of your elder brother before, and I always wanted him to go to the imperial examination, but he broke his body and died of illness. Well... well, now I don't expect what will happen to you in the future, I only hope that you will be educated and sensible, which is better than a life of ignorance..."

"Master, I don't blame you for what happened to Zhu'er, it's because I didn't take good care of him." Wang Shuxian looked at Jia Baoyu's expression and wiped away her tears.

Jia Baoyu felt the sadness of his parents, and suddenly felt that he was extremely unfilial, so he hurriedly got up to comfort them, "Master and Madam, Baoyu listens to what you do, and I will learn."

"Good! Good! Master, look, our Baoyu is really a good boy, and he knows how to think about us!"

Jia Zheng's gaze softened, "Well, not bad."

Jia Baoyu was flattered. He had never seen his father treat him so kindly. After all, he was a child, and he still had expectations for the love of his father and mother. Seeing that he could make his parents so happy as long as he was willing to study, Jia Baoyu felt that those flattering The disgusting text is not so unbearable anymore.

Seeing that the relationship between father and son was successful for the first time, Wang Shuxian turned to serious matters, "Master, have you seen my sister's son and daughter today? What do you think of them?"

"Well, the two children know the rules very well. It's just that Jinyu is a young man, so he is inevitably a little arrogant. I saw that he has extraordinary literary talents. I think this time the Lin family will be able to explore both schools!"

Wang Shuxian looked at Jia Baoyu and smiled, "Baoyu, your Uncle Lin passed the Tanhua exam back then, and now your cousin has this knowledge at a young age. It is really a credit to the ancestors. I don't know how envious others are when they mention it!" As she said that, she straightened her expression as if remembering something, "By the way, your cousin is also a cute and cute girl. You are a cousin, so you should take care of her when she sees her. Your cousin is weak. I heard that she is angry or If you are scared, you will not sleep well at night and you will cough continuously. When I see you now, I will tell you something. Qi sickness, your cousin and Uncle Lin will not spare you!"

Jia Baoyu was startled, and muttered uncomfortably, "I, madam, how could I be as stupid as you said? I just let her go. I usually let my sisters play with them."

Jia Zheng also felt that Wang Shuxian was making a big fuss, but remembering how Jia Baoyu was crying in the past, he agreed, "Listen to your mother. Since your cousin is not in good health, you should restrain yourself when you see her."

"Yes, Baoyu remembered."

"You have to keep it in your heart, and your cousin and cousin are guests. You have to treat yourself well and don't do anything out of etiquette. Otherwise, if you offend the guests, we will be the first to forgive you." You. Say more and make more mistakes, less talk and less mistakes, just don't always move forward and talk," Wang Shuxian said again to strengthen his impression, then pointed to the jade pendant on his chest and smiled: " This jade pendant of yours has some origins, but we are just ordinary people, as long as we know it, don’t you want to show it to others? Otherwise, others will think you have never seen a good thing and brag about yourself.”

Jia Baoyu looked down at his jade pendant in surprise, "Didn't you say it is a treasure?"

"Baoyu, we think it is valuable mainly because of its meaning. Think about it, this jade pendant was born at the same time as you, and it is as close as your twin brother. What a meaningful accessory! What's more, it is engraved with If you can bless you with auspicious words, we as parents and elders will naturally cherish it. You should also cherish it yourself, and cherish everything that God bestows on us.”

Jia Baoyu picked up the jade pendant and touched it, showing a smile, "Yes, I remember, ma'am."

Wang Shuxian told the child to go to the old lady's place after flicking the child to see that there was nothing to do. If she didn't go there for too long, she was afraid that Jia's mother would be unhappy.

After Jia Baoyu left, Jia Zheng asked Wang Shuxian suspiciously, "Are you afraid that Baoyu will cause trouble? He usually goes to school to study, and his nephew and niece live in Lixiangyuan. What can cause trouble?"

Wang Shuxian sighed, with a helpless look, "Sir, have you forgotten? The old lady once wanted to marry the Lin family, and wanted Baoyu and Daiyu to make a pair!"

Jia Zheng frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Oh, I remembered, it was my sister and the old lady who discussed it by correspondence a year ago. Later, my sister was seriously ill and I didn't mention it again. I remember you didn't agree with it at the beginning. Tell Baoyu to be polite in front of Daiyu?"

Wang Shuxian chuckled, "Whether I agree or not, Baoyu has to be polite, otherwise the Jia family is not the one who is ashamed? I just think they are not too young and shouldn't mess around together. Baoyu's child likes to be lively the most. Why don’t you just pretend to be sick and stay out of school all day after seeing such a cute cousin? It would be a big crime if you bumped into Daiyu and delayed Jinyu’s scientific examination, and it’s hard to explain to Uncle Lin. I’ll make it clear to Baoyu now, Let him restrain himself, even if he offends others, there won't be any serious mistakes, and it doesn't matter whether he gets married or not in the future."

"It's because you've considered everything well, what more can a husband ask for if you have such a virtuous wife?" Jia Zheng held Wang Shuxian's hand and looked at her with gentle eyes.

Wang Shuxian lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, with a smile on her face, "It is my blessing to be able to share my worries and labors for the master."

Jia Baoyu happily went back to Jia Mu's residence, and went back to the room after asking for safety, and changed into regular clothes. Jia Mu pulled him to look left and right, and asked tentatively: "I heard that your mother called you to your father's study." Is it wrong? But what's the matter? Did you reprimand you?"

"No, the master and his wife said that they are free to take the imperial examination or not, but they want me to read and write more to be a sensible person. I don't want them to worry. From now on, I will go to the master's study every day to learn something from the master. The wife also asked I really want to entertain my cousin and my cousin. My wife said my cousin is not in good health. Please let me be careful not to scare my cousin." Jia Baoyu grabbed Jia Mu's sleeve and shook it coquettishly. You bastard? How could I scare my cousin? I'm the best for my sisters!"

"Yes, yes, yes! My Baoyu is the most sensible! But your cousin is really not in good health. You need to take good care of her. Just listen to your mother and don't get mad at her." Mother Jia narrowed her eyes with a smile, satisfied with Wang Shuxian's actions Quite clearly, in her opinion, Wang Shuxian was showing her attitude that she was not opposed to the marriage of the two Yu'er!

Lin Hai is an official in the court, and Lin Jinyu will be on the list soon. If Baoyu has the support of such a Yue family, he will definitely be able to go wrong in the future!And Daiyu lost her mother when she was young, how can she rely on a man with the mess in the backyard?Even if Lin Hai marries a stepwife in the future, he won't treat Daiyu sincerely. The best way is to marry Daiyu back to his family. With her watching, no one can bully Daiyu. In this way, she will be worthy of her daughter who passed away early!

Mother Jia was thinking about the marriage between the two families, and put the unhappiness caused by Lin Jinyu behind her. Before dinner time, she sent someone to visit Lixiangyuan. If Lin Jinyu and Lin Daiyu had a rest, please come here immediately. Talk to everyone.

Everyone gathered in Jiamu's room again to chat and laugh. The brothers and sisters of the Lin family were the last to arrive. As soon as they entered, Jiamu ignored the ceremony and pointed them to introduce them to Jia Baoyu, "Didn't you say you want to see your cousin? That's it, hurry up." Go see the ceremony!"

Jia Baoyu looked up and was stunned, "This sister...I..."

"Cough!" Lin Jinyu interrupted him, looking at him with sharp eyes.

Jia Baoyu came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, subconsciously glanced at Wang Shuxian, recalling what his mother had told him, he straightened his sleeves and bowed his hands as a salute, "Baoyu has seen my cousin, I have seen my cousin, I just felt that my cousin looks familiar, I was rude for a while, please don't blame my cousin or cousin."

Lin Jinyu also cupped his hands, "It's okay, I think my cousin just admitted to the wrong person, after all, my sister and I came to Beijing for the first time this time, and we haven't met my cousin before."

Wang Xifeng smiled beside Jiamu: "After all, we are a family, and I feel kind when I see you!"

Jia Baoyu nodded immediately, "Exactly! Exactly!"

Wang Shuxian looked at Jia Baoyu with a smile, and reminded, "Baoyu, why don't you invite cousin to sit down?"

Jia Baoyu greeted them annoyed, and suddenly felt that he was really not good at all, no wonder his mother had to tell him so much, and his cousin was so thin, what if he got mad at him?Thinking of this, he didn't dare to speak casually. He just sat back beside Jia Mu and occasionally echoed Jia Mu's words, thinking how to get close to Sister Lin without being rude.

Lin Jinyu drank tea, quietly observed the expressions of everyone, and found that she couldn't see anything.The women in Jia's mansion are more vicious than the last, but they are all very kind on the surface, they really know how to pretend!It seems that we have to be more defensive in the future, and can't be tricked by them!

Mother Jia took Daiyu to talk, and noticed that her hands were cold, and remembered her bad health, "Yu'er, grandma has some good ginseng nourishing pills here, and I will ask your second aunt to bring them to you later. If you need anything, just go to your second aunt to get it."

Wang Shuxian nodded and said: "Daiyu don't be embarrassed, just let me know if there is anything missing."

Lin Daiyu smiled gratefully, "Thank you for your grandmother and second aunt's concern. My brother told me to exercise more, and I no longer take the medicine for health. Grandma should keep the medicine. If Daiyu needs to talk to second aunt."

"Oh? Exercising? This ginseng Yangrong pill is for nourishing the body. You came from the south and suddenly stopped taking the medicine. Is it okay? Have you seen the doctor?" Jia Mu remembered that Jia Min said that Lin Daiyu had to take medicine every day. Body, is there any basis for Lin Jinyu to say that he does not need to take medicine?She felt that Lin Jinyu had too much idea, she was just messing around!

Lin Jinyu said: "Don't worry, grandma, I have already asked the doctors, and those doctors can't say anything, let them take care of Daiyu, but they haven't done it well for so long, so it's wrong. Exercise your body well and be stronger." , naturally you won’t get sick.”

"Yes, grandma, I feel better." Lin Daiyu looked at Jia's mother obediently. In fact, her body is still the same, and she often coughs, but for everyone's peace of mind, she can only say this.

Wang Shuxian sighed in her heart, feeling that even with Brother Lin escorting her, Lin Daiyu lost her mother and left her hometown when she was young, but she still grew up quickly, and she was much smarter than her peers.This age is still ignorant and ignorant at the age of running around the school in modern times, but he already knows how to comfort others by looking at his face.Having such an unstable elder brother doesn't know whether it's good or bad, no matter how the medicine is three-point poisonous, Lin Daiyu has been used to taking medicine every day since she was a child, can she bear it when her body suddenly breaks?

Wang Shuxian's hand on her lap slid across her lower abdomen, her heart was soft, and she kindly persuaded her, "Old lady, we have the best doctor in the world in Beijing! You can invite the imperial physician to take a closer look for Daiyu some other day, and say Maybe there is a suitable prescription!"

Lin Jinyu's eyelids twitched, inexplicably thinking of pills made of ginseng beards, pills mixed with poison, etc. Some people suspected that Mrs. Wang used ginseng Yangrong pills to harm Lin Daiyu. Now that she is so kind to ask the imperial physician, is it because she wants to bribe the imperial physician To harm his sister?

"No need! I mean that there is no need to bother grandma. Father has already invited the imperial physician, and he will come to check Daiyu's pulse in a few days."

After hearing Lin Jinyu's words, Jia's mother felt her heart suffocated, she couldn't get up or down!She felt that this was no longer her illusion. Once or twice, this grandson dared to treat her as an outsider to guard against!Now that Daiyu lives in Jia's mansion, is it possible to hire an imperial physician and ask outsiders to invite her?What is this?I haven't seen Lin Hai for many years, is this son-in-law getting more and more confused?

Lin Daiyu felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and looked at her elder brother anxiously, and smiled at Wang Shuxian: "Thank you, Second Aunt, since Father has made arrangements, there is no need to bother."

Wang Shuxian nodded indifferently. She just thought that these were still children, so she could help if she could. She didn't expect Lin Jinyu's reaction to be so strong, so she didn't bother to care about it.

At this time, Jia Baoyu had already fallen into the mood of hating Cousin Lin. He intuitively felt that Cousin Lin didn't like his mother, and that his mother always wanted to be polite. Cousin Lin was the one who didn't know how to be polite!With someone to pay attention to, Jia Baoyu didn't stare at Lin Daiyu, nor did he get inspired to give Daiyu a frown, probably because now Daiyu has a different mood and less demeanor with her brother by her side. Instead of being cautious, and adding a ladylike posture, it no longer matches the meaning of that word.

Everyone said a few more words and the maid began to set the meal. Lin Jinyu got up and bowed and said, "Grandmother, grandson is going to have dinner with uncle." After speaking, he looked at Jia Baoyu, "Cousin, let's go together. "

Jia Baoyu was taken aback, "Cousin, go, I'll just eat here."

Lin Jinyu frowned disapprovingly, "Men and women have different seats at seven years old, you and I are both grown up, how can we eat here?"

"I……"

Wang Shuxian came over and said, "Baoyu, accompany your cousin to your father's place, and treat him well."

She opened her mouth, but no one else said anything else. Jia Baoyu walked out unhappy. He lived with Jia Mu, and now he went to Jia Zheng's courtyard, and he had to come back later. Tiring, this cousin is really annoying!

Before Lin Jinyu left, she said that Lin Daiyu should not drink tea immediately after meals because Lin Daiyu wanted to take care of her health. Mother Jia nodded casually to show that she understood, and Lin Jinyu left with Jia Baoyu worried.

Lin Daiyu could see that her grandmother was a little unhappy, and she felt uneasy, and didn't know what to say. She also wondered why her brother had been so rude since entering Jia's mansion.Seeing outsiders made her feel inappropriate. Thinking of her brother's accusation that her mother only valued her younger brother and was irresponsible when her mother was seriously ill, she felt that her brother might just not be good at expressing concern and cared too much for her relatives. some.

At that time, my elder brother obviously wanted to arouse the mother's will to survive, so he said so many things about the mother's partiality and failed to fulfill her mother's obligations.After that, my brother was depressed for several days. I think it was not intentional that my brother sometimes spoke too bluntly.

After serving the old lady for dinner, Wang Shuxian was finally able to go back to her room to rest. After only one day of getting along with her, she knew that Lin Jinyu would not pose a threat to her.Lin Jinyu didn't find any abnormalities today, so he won't find any abnormalities in the future!Her words and deeds are completely in line with the characteristics of women in this era. Even if they are slightly different from the original description, it is not doubtful. After all, the book is dead and the person is alive. Books cannot write out all aspects of the characters. That has become a reality. The characters in the book can naturally deviate from the book.

The so-called a thousand people see a thousand Hamlets!Lin Jinyu would definitely think that it was his own little butterfly wings that changed all the plots. This is exactly what she wanted to see. She didn't care whether Lin Jinyu had the aura of the protagonist or whether he would dominate the world.She just wants to live her life well, and being rich and free is her biggest dream in this life.

Not long after Wang Shuxian hit the pillow, she fell asleep. At this time, the brothers and sisters of the Lin family in Lixiangyuan were talking about what happened today.

"Brother, did father really invite the imperial physician? When will he come?" Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Jinyu with a little hope in her eyes.

Lin Jinyu shook her head apologetically, "Father didn't mention this matter. I don't want to use a doctor from others. It's a big deal for a doctor to prescribe a prescription. We should go to a doctor for treatment in person to rest assured."

Lin Daiyu's eyes widened in surprise, "Brother, you actually lied to grandma? Then what do you say that the imperial physician will come in a few days? Besides, grandma is not an outsider. It is very convenient for her to ask the imperial physician. Brother, why are you So defensive?"

Lin Jinyu didn't know how to explain, "Anyway, you just need to be on guard against them, here we are the only ones who can trust each other! Don't be fooled by them, believe what they say."

Lin Daiyu was in a hurry, "Brother, is there anything I don't know? My mother has always wanted to go back to my grandparents' house and often said that my grandparents' house is good. I also think that my grandma treats us well. Is it true that we are with you?" What enmity is there in the grandfather's family? Brother, if you know any secrets, you can tell me!"

This made Lin Jinyu dumbfounded, "You think too much! I really just don't trust strangers, sister, you have to remember, no matter what relationship we have with them, it's the first time we meet after all. Knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing hearts Ah, this is the most basic truth, you must remember it!"

Lin Daiyu felt that what he said was reasonable, but also felt that what he said was wrong. After all, the Jia family was not strangers but relatives, "Brother, what are we guarding against? I am not in good health. If they let the doctor harm me, it would be a conspiracy." What? I really don't understand."

"Picture——" Lin Jinyu was stuck. He wanted to say that of course he was trying to plot the Lin family's business, but then he thought that now that the Lin family had him around, the Jia family would never be able to secure the Lin family's business. What does jade do?It really doesn't make sense!Could it be that he really has the heart of a villain?

No!impossible!Doesn't Mrs. Wang dislike Daiyu?There must be a conspiracy to take the initiative to find the imperial doctor, even if he can't think of it, he must be on guard, and he must not slack off in the slightest!
