Lin Wan in the Red Chamber

Not long after Lin Jin and Xia Sisi left, Lin Wan woke up and was very happy to learn that Xia Sisi had come to visit.And Xia Sisi's visit made her think of Li Jiayi, and she thought about going to see her in two days, but before she passed, Li Jiayi came to visit her first.

Although Li Jiayi was the daughter of a merchant family, the Lin family did not look down on her, not only because she was Lin Wan's friend, but also because she was a nice girl, and brought gifts for everyone every time she came, even though they were small gifts. But courtesy is light and affection is heavy, it's not considered flattery, but it pleases everyone. She is a girl who can handle things. Compared with Xue Baochai in the future, Lin Wan doesn't think Li Jiayi has done a bad job. On the contrary, she admires her for being so comprehensive. .

"Jiayi, I'm so sorry for always making you spend money." Lin Wan smiled while holding Li Jiayi's hand.

"They're all worthless gadgets, Wan'er doesn't need to be so concerned." Li Jiayi laughed.

"In your eyes, these things are always worthless." Lin Wan rolled her eyes and said, this pair of gold silk flower bracelets is exquisitely carved, it must have been a waste of time, how can it be as bad as she said valuable.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, what's the gain if we go out for a while?" Li Jiayi asked.

Lin Wan talked about things on the road, and also mentioned the plague. After hearing this, Li Jiayi wanted to beat Lin Wan up. The plague would kill people. She didn't know how to run away as soon as possible, and she stayed there. She really wanted to die.

"Good Jiayi, don't be angry, am I okay?" Lin Wan persuaded the angry Li Jiayi.

"It's a good thing you're fine, otherwise I'd lose another good friend." Li Jiayi said angrily.

"By the way, why didn't Xiaobao come?" Lin Wan asked. Li Jiabao is Li Jiayi's younger brother. The little guy is only three years old. It's time for fun. Every time Lin Wan goes to Li's house, he will tease him. He is very cute. .

"Forget it, my father locked him up at home to practice martial arts." Li Jiayi said.

"Isn't Xiaobao only three years old? Your father is too anxious." Lin Wan said.

Li Jiayi took a sip of tea and said: "Actually, I can't blame my father. My father is also afraid that Xiaobao will look like that Jia Baoyu in the future. He is six years old and still eats the rouge from girls' mouths."

"Jia Baoyu, is that Jia Baoyu from the Jia family in the Rongguo Mansion in the capital?" Lin Wan looked at Li Jiayi and asked, frowning slightly.

"Yeah, you don't know yet, I also heard what my second uncle said. My second uncle just went to the capital not long ago, and when he came back, he saw that Xiaobao was always pestering me, so he talked about Jia Baoyu. I'm old, and I still stay with girls all day long. Those who don't know think it's a girl, and I don't know what Jia Taijun thinks. He keeps good boys in his boudoir. By the way, I heard that Jia Baoyu was born with a piece of Baoyu in his mouth, after hearing what my second uncle said, I always felt that Jia Baoyu was raised badly." Li Jiayi said.

Jia Baoyu was raised badly, Lin Wan thought, but she didn't say that.

"Your father really thinks too much. Although Xiaobao likes to cling to you, it's because you are her elder sister. Besides you, who else does she like to cling to?" Lin Wan laughed.

"Besides me, isn't there you? My little treasure has already said that she will marry Sister Wan as his wife when she grows up." Li Jiayi laughed.

"When he grows up, I'll be old. I planned to see you in two days, but I didn't know that you came to see me earlier. Ting Xin, go and get the box." Lin Wan said.

"Yes, miss." Ting Xin, who was waiting on the side, brought over the box from Lin Wan's bedroom.

"What is this?" Li Jiayi looked at the box that Lin Wan pushed in front of her and asked.

"You and Xiaobao's present, open it and have a look." Lin Wan smiled.

Li Jiayi glanced at Lin Wan, lowered her head, and opened the box. There were two porcelain bottles in the box, which were very beautiful.

"Wan'er, what is this?" Li Jiayi looked at Lin Wan and asked with some doubts.

"Detoxification Pill." Lin Wan said.

"The detoxification pill can detoxify all kinds of poisons?" Li Jiayi asked curiously.

"Well, a hundred poisons do not invade, you and Xiaobao each have one, of course, you can also save it for your important people in the future, it's up to you." Lin Wan said.

"It really works?" Li Jiayi still didn't believe it. Although she had heard about the invulnerability of all poisons, it was too amazing.

"Don't worry, it's definitely useful, just don't tell others." Lin Wan looked at Li Jiayi and said seriously.

"Understood, don't worry, I will never tell others, I will give it to Xiaobao when I get back." Li Jiayi smiled, with this detoxification pill, there is no need to worry about Xiaobao being poisoned.

Lin Wan stayed with Li Jiayi for dinner, and after the meal, Li Jiayi went back.

After Li Jiayi left, Ting Zhu asked Lin Wan why he gave such a precious detoxification pill to Li Jiayi's siblings, Lin Wan didn't answer, Ting Zhu seemed unhappy, but was taught a lesson by Ting Xin.

"Ting Zhu, Miss treats you well, does it mean you can question Miss, don't forget your duty as a servant, you reflect on it for me in the room." After Ting Xin finished speaking, she left Ting Zhu in the room and went by herself I'm chasing Lin Wan.

"Miss, Tingzhu offended you, I have already taught her a lesson, please don't be angry." Ting Xin stood beside Lin Wan and said with her head down.

"Since I entered Lin's house, you two have been taking care of me personally. I actually like you very much, just listen to my heart. Sometimes it's not what I like. It's my fault to say that I was too tolerant to you, so that I forgot I don't know what to ask and what not to ask." Lin Wan looked up at the blooming pear tree and said lightly, without showing any expression.

"Miss, Tingzhu already knew she was wrong, please give her another chance." Ting Xin quickly knelt down.

Lin Wan seldom gets angry, but when she gets angry, she is very scary.

"Ting Xin, Ting Zhu is really not suitable to stay by my side. Ting Lan and Ting Ju are good girls. Choose someone suitable to replace Ting Zhu." Lin Wan said, it's not that she doesn't like Ting Zhu, but she always Being so stupid, it's really not suitable to stay by her side. She never forgot her original purpose, revenge.

"Miss, can you really not give Ting Zhu another chance?" Ting Xin looked at Lin Wan and asked eagerly.

"Ting Xin, tell yourself how much you have begged for her. You have to learn to take responsibility for doing wrong things. Besides, I didn't drive her away. It's just that some things are not suitable for her to do. If she Showing such a look and dislike in front of Jiayi today will destroy the relationship between me and Jiayi. Although Jiayi is the daughter of a merchant, she is also a lady, and she is not something a maid can belittle." Lin Wan Said, although her words are a bit heavy, but it is also true.

"Your servant understands." Ting Xin finally gave up, not to mention what the lady said was right, she had already forgiven Ting Zhu too many times.

"Ting Xin, what I want is a slave who can help me, not a slave who causes me trouble, do you understand?" Lin Wan looked down at Ting Xin who was kneeling and said.

"I understand." Ting Xin nodded.

"That's good, you go down." Lin Wan said, started to leave, and went to the pond in front.

It was spring at this time, and the lotus in the water should not have developed, but the lotus in Lin Wan's courtyard was already in full bloom, very beautiful. Looking at the lotus, Lin Wan wiped the pendant on her neck, and a flash of determination flashed in her eyes.

Aunt, sister, father, are you ready?

At the beginning of April, the results of the imperial examination came out. Although the two brothers Lin Hengshan and Lin Hengyuan did not win the first class, they were also in the top two. Lin Hengyuan was fifth and Lin Hengshan was ninth. Scholars, but Lin Hengshan was a little bit unhappy because he didn't pass the exam for his younger brother, but overall he was happy.

When the good news reached Lin's residence, Mrs. Lin was very happy, and Lin Wan was naturally happy too.

And this news also spread to the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou. After Lin Ruhai learned about it, he just paid attention to it for a while, and then threw it aside, because his precious son will be promising in the future, and he will definitely be better than them, not to mention himself. He was born in Tanhua, so he didn't think much of Brother Lin Hengshan, who had won the top two.

However, Lin Daiyu sent someone to collect information, and felt that it was necessary to make some contacts. These people could become Fourth Master's loyalists in the future.

At this moment, Yinzhen didn't know that Lin Daiyu was thinking of him. He was also inquiring about the situation of Lin Hengshan's brothers. When he learned that there was a girl named Lin Wan in their family, he paid more attention and became more determined to win him over.

Everyone knows that the fourth elder brother is a princeling, but this does not mean that the fourth elder brother has no one of his own.

Yinzhen also wanted to win the champion, the second place, and the third prize, but he couldn't, otherwise it would be eye-catching, not to mention that he had already made a contribution to the plague, and was rewarded by the emperor. .

With the excuse of thanking Lin Wan, Yinzhen invited Brother Lin Hengshan to the mansion as guests. Kangxi also knew about it, but he did not suspect that Yinzhen was forming a clique. It was counted on the two brothers of the Lin family, so Yinzhen wooed the two brothers of the Lin family so openly and left a good impression on Kangxi. I have to say that Yinzhen was still in the favor of Lin Wan, but at this time he didn't know .

And the Lin brothers were relieved to know that they were invited because of Lin Wan, and they didn't want to get involved in the fight between the princes.

Of course, being satisfied with both Kangxi and Yinzhen does not mean that other people are satisfied. The Lin family brothers were bullied by some people, but these two brothers are not fools, bear with it for now, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, one day they will Will come back with revenge.

On the contrary, their patience made Kangxi and Yinzhen value them more. By accident, they got the favor of the two. Kangxi even sent someone to reward them directly, which made them feel happy, and others probably also. Aware of the emperor's love for these two, he did not dare to make trouble for the time being.

In order to get closer to Yinzhen, Lin Daiyu went back to Beijing with Jia Min to visit relatives, and Lin Wan will also follow Lin Zhengying and his wife to the capital to visit her two elder brothers. They will meet in the capital soon.
