Linzhi Gongzi [Red Mansion]

Chapter 42 Chapter 42

Let's say that Wen Yishu rushed out with a group of people, and the people who were lingering at the gate of Wen's mansion were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.But he couldn't stand the crowd here, so he was caught by the collar in a short while and brought to Wen Yishu.

Huashan likes this kind of scene the most, imagining that he is the majestic Yumao Zhan Zhao under Bao Gong, omnipotent in heaven and earth.Excited at this moment, he kicked the man's knee and shouted: "Where is the thief! Don't kneel down!"

Wen Yishu was amused by him, and asked someone to move a grand master's chair, Shi Shiran sat down, "Who are you, why are you sneaking around in front of our house all day long?"

The lively people gathered around, guessing what happened.Some say they are thieves, some say they are escaped slaves, and they are generally not good words.The person kneeling down looked about 50 to [-] years old, obviously a pampered face.At this time, he was forcibly pressed in front of everyone, not to mention that there were no pedestrians in front of Wenfu, listening to the whispering discussions around him, his face flushed red.

"I came here with a good intention to see my old relatives and old friends, but I didn't want to be treated like this!" The man snorted angrily, desperately trying to free himself from the hand on his shoulder.

"Don't make relatives here," Hua Shan yelled, "What is our uncle's status, how can we know such a thing as you!"

Wen Yishu pointed his fingers, and smiled, "Old friends? Who of you didn't come to visit openly when you saw old friends. They were all like you, sneaking around the door, and those who didn't know thought they were being targeted by thieves." .”

The man faltered, regretting that he had come here himself.But after he saw Wen Yi's book, the doubts in his heart had disappeared by seven or eight points.Although he only saw Wen Yishu once or twice when he was young, the appearance of the golden boy carved in powder really left a deep impression on him.Moreover, a rough calculation of the age is also suitable.

Although he was careless and was discovered by others, at least he had a sure result.Just to be on the safe side, you have to ask again.So he said: "My master and that old friend haven't seen each other for five or six years, so I'm a little hesitant... I really didn't mean to spy on your mansion."

If this person's attitude is softened, Wen Yishu will naturally not be able to be prestige again.I secretly sighed in my heart that this person's face changed so quickly, but said: "I am a little timid when I am young. The servants at home are protecting me, if I offend you, please bear it."

So he asked the vicious mountains next to him to help him up, and then asked: "Which old friend did the master find?"

"The residence is from the Liu residence in Suining?" the man asked.

"Nonsense," Hua Shan said bluntly and angrily, "This has always been the ancestral home of my master, where did you come from the Liu Mansion!"

Before he finished speaking, he felt that Wen Yishu flew over with a sharp knife, which shocked his spirits, and immediately shut his mouth wisely.

"This, this... isn't it!" The man was stunned, and then sighed with great regret, "I saw a steward in the house who looked very familiar these few days, so I thought Master Liu was back. He has already met my master. I haven't seen you for many years, I thought today...but I don't want to, oh..."

"It turned out to be a steward," Wen Yishu smiled, "I mean, if you're an old friend, why don't you even know what the principal's parents look like. Maybe that steward was working in Liu's residence, and then came to my house. "

The person who said this felt guilty for a while, and smiled dryly: "Or, maybe."

Turning his eyes, Wen Yishu suggested: "In this case, you report the name of the manager. If it is true, ask him and your master to point out the way, how about finding an old friend?"

"There's no need to trouble yourself," the man refused. "If it wasn't, it would be a burst of sadness for no reason. If I offended you today, I will leave."

This person insisted on leaving and didn't want to stay for a long time, Wen Yishu curled his lips and said without saying goodbye, calling for the servants to enter the gate without looking back, without even giving any extra glances behind him.

Hua Shan was still grinning: "You still have old friends, you don't even know where you live, how stupid..."

Next to him, Heng Shan gave him a slap, "You idiot, you've been tricked into calling others stupid."

Hua Shan was stunned, feeling aggrieved, "I, I, no..."

"You'll believe what people say about Liu's house, you're not stupid," Wen Yishu gave him a squinting look.

Frustrated by this, Hua Shan finally realized why he was stared at just now, and scolded angrily: "What a thief!"

Lushan took a step forward and asked for instructions: "Master, that person is definitely coming after us, but he doesn't know his identity, what should we do?"

Wen Yishu waved his hand and said: "You don't need to know, there are only a few of our Wen family's opponents. He gained confidence after seeing me. No one in the capital knew about it, so we just pointed to the Jiangnan or Jinling. gone."

He lowered his head and thought about it, he already had some guesses in his mind, and said to the people behind him: "Don't worry about it, just ask the chef to prepare the dishes."

"Yes," several mountains responded and went down, preparing separately.

Wen Yishu turned around and went to his sister's small yard.

Since Wen Zhi was taken home, her life was much more comfortable than in the temple.Although you are in the mundane world, if your heart is always pure, where is not practice.Wen Yishu loves this younger sister very much, so he specially assigned the two big maids around him to her. Everything is up to him, which is better than relying on others.

Today is the elder brother's birthday, Wen Zhi naturally does not neglect.The birthday gift was prepared almost a month in advance, a small purse, collected dried plum petals.I just waited to send it to my brother in the evening.

When Wen Yishu came over, Wen Zhizheng and Dongting Mochou were picking out some clothes for the evening, so it was strange to hear that he had come.Welcoming people in, serving tea and sitting down, he said: "Didn't my brother hand out rewards at the front, why did you come here?"

After speaking, he asked the little girl in the room to kowtow to celebrate his birthday.

Amidst the auspicious words about the future, Wen Yishu took out several copper coins, and Fang laughed for a while before he had time to drink a sip of tea.Qing Lingling's tea soup was in front of him, and he said: "This is the needle mountain leaf that you have hidden for a long time, and you are willing to give it to me."

Wen Zhi smiled: "Thanks to your spoiled tongue, you actually drank it. Knowing that you don't like those rainwater and snow water, you used the water from the old well to soak for a night and then boiled it. You must waste a spoonful of tea leaves on me. "

"I'm a very vulgar person, but I can't appreciate those," Wen Yishu said with a smile.

Wen Zhi couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she thought of her elder brother not meeting with friends on his birthday, but staying at home with her, even though she waved her hand away, "If that's the case, don't stay here and disturb my quiet place, look for those of you All you can do is have fun."

"It's said that they are friends." Wen Yishu held the teacup, recklessly, "How can they have a younger sister? Will they give me good tea from needle mountain leaves?"

"It's only Hu Qin," Wen Zhi said angrily, but with a smile on her face, "What's the matter now."

"The one who knows me is Zhi'er." Wen Yishu shook his head and leaned forward, "I just ask my sister, tell you to go out to play, and know a few friends in the boudoir, would you like it?"

Dong Ting and Mo Chou looked at each other, thinking that when the girl came home, Wen Yishu had said that the girl was going out.They thought it was just a joke, but now they brought it up again.

"It depends on who you know." Wen Zhi pinched her handkerchief and tilted her head, frowning slightly, "If it's that kind of ordinary person, it doesn't matter if you really don't see it."

Wen Yishu murmured, rubbed his chin, and muttered: "Vulgar is not vulgar. But here is a word to tell you in advance. If you go outside, someone will inevitably ask about our family."

"Ask about our family?" Wen Zhi was slightly annoyed, "What does it have to do with our family? If you sincerely invite us to go, you don't know what our family is like. If you ask, you must have evil intentions and have bad intentions!"

Wen Yishu clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you are my smartest sister!"

Wen Zhi blushed slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's not nonsense," Wen Yishu shook his head, "You also know what our family is like. If you come to those high-ranking families in the future, don't be alarmed. We haven't seen any good things. If they Ask about how our family is, just tell what you know, if you don’t know, they don’t know if they are anxious to death.”

"You never told me anything." Wen Zhi sighed slightly, with a bit of complaint mixed in her tone, "I don't say anything about the good ones, and I don't say anything about the bad ones. If I can't get over it, I suffer it alone. What can I say."

"If not, how can you be your elder brother?" Wen Yishu didn't care much.He really wanted to touch his sister's head like he did to her in his previous life, but he realized that this is not acceptable here, so he could only hold back, "It's just one more word to come here, and I'll go first."

"Why do you need to take a trip, why can't you talk about it at night?"

Wen Yishu stood up and patted his sleeves, "Wouldn't it be a disappointment to say this at night? Besides, the spring is beautiful, don't let it down!"

·

Wen Yishu is not the only one whose birthday is on the twelfth day of the second lunar month.Today is also the birthday of Lin Daiyu, the daughter of Master Lin Ruhai in Gusu, who now lives in the ancestral home outside the Rongguo Mansion.The old matriarch of Rongguo Mansion treated her granddaughter very well, so she had to congratulate her.It's just that she is still young, if she makes too much trouble, it may be harmful.

So a small banquet was held at home, and the eldest aunt, daughter-in-law and little girl were called to kowtow to celebrate their birthday.There are also a few beautiful girls in Jia's mansion, and it's over after sending He Yi.

After agreeing to return the table in a few days, Lin Daiyu supported the girl's arm and went back into the house.After Xu time, I took off the hairpin and did not lie down, but sat down in front of the desk.Under the thick bookcase is the letter that came this morning, which was written by her father.Hurry up, and deliver it to Daiyu just in time for her birthday.

Lin Daiyu carefully unsealed the letter, and burst into tears when she saw the first sentence "My son, if you don't see the letter...".Tears hit the paper, almost staining the handwriting.She hurriedly wiped away her tears and read again.

There was a thick stack of papers, and she read the letter three times before holding the letter to her chest, as if it was the most precious amulet.

Ever since she came to this Rongguo Mansion, even though she was a Jin Gui's resident lady, who knew the pain of being alone in a foreign land.However, the servants in the Rongguo Mansion are the ones who know how to praise the high and depress the low, and choose people to serve.Seeing a little difference, I compared things big and small.Daiyu is careful, and she has nothing to say about how much she has suffered.

Even if a person weeping towards the moon doesn't bother anyone, he will be said to cry easily and cause bad luck.

Even the letter from her father was a thousand reminders, telling her not to cause trouble to others, but to be careful.So Lin Daiyu had no choice but to swallow silently and hide in her stomach how many grievances she felt.But now, a letter from Yangzhou asked her if she wanted to go home.

Why didn't she want to, she wanted to go home even in her dreams.

But this also made Lin Daiyu suspicious. In the past, her father told her to live here well in the letters, but this time why did she move to take her home.Could it be that something happened at home?Lin Daiyu was startled when she thought of how depressed her father had been since her mother left.Busily opened the letter again, looking for the information inside.I am afraid that there is something that I have missed.

Just watching, there was a small knock on the door outside.

Xueyan, who was on guard outside, went up to ask, and came back and whispered, "It's Baoyu."

Lin Daiyu put on her clothes and stood up, walked to the door and said, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Baoyu stood outside, only a shadow was reflected on the window, "Don't open the door, the wind is strong at night, blow carefully. I will leave after saying a word or two."

"What are you talking about? I'll listen." Lin Daiyu leaned over.

"Brother Xue's friend will have a birthday party tomorrow. He knows an excellent bookstore. If you want one, I'll buy it with you."

"What kind of books do you have?" Daiyu said angrily, "If you bring bad books and meet bad people, be careful and I will tell uncle."

"I won't dare," Baoyu begged for forgiveness, and then looked forward to it, "that's a very good person, not someone who's not serious. I heard that he also has a younger sister. It's unusual for a person like him to have a younger sister. You guys It would be nice if we could sit together and talk."

"Sister and sister, that's all you remember," Daiyu teased him, and she started joking again, "That's a good person, how good is he? Better than that Qin Zhong?"

This was originally an amusing remark, about how he went mad and was beaten because of Qin Zhong.But as soon as she finished speaking, Daiyu felt that she had lost her words, and hastily covered her mouth and spat twice.Who would have thought that Baoyu would take it seriously, and said seriously: "In comparison, Jingqing is not as good as him."

"You're demented again," Daiyu sighed, hearing the sound of clappers being beaten in the distance, she said to the door: "I don't want any books or books. I'm not from here. I'll go home sooner or later and buy so many." You can't take things with you."

When Baoyu outside the door heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Why don't you come from here, why don't you go to home? Why are you doing well, and then you say go!"

However, Daiyu in the house ignored him and went back indoors with the letter in her hand.Baoyu stood at the door for a while, seeing that Daiyu had really left, he shook his head and sighed, and went back slowly.

In the past, Daiyu always said that she wanted to go home when she was angry, but she didn't have the confidence to say it.Speaking of which now, the state of mind is extremely peaceful.Perhaps the letter from her father gave her a kind of confidence, let her know where her roots are, and she can really go home.

Because of this, she, who couldn't sleep normally, had an incomparably good night's sleep holding the letter from her father.

·

In the second day, Wen Yishu held a banquet, which he had agreed earlier.He casually asked Xue Pan to bring more people, saying that he hadn't socialized well since he came to Beijing, and it would be best if he got to know a few more people.So at this banquet, in addition to some people from last time, Xue Pan also called Jia Rong and Jia Qiang from Ningguo Mansion, Jia Lian from Rongguo Mansion, and Wang Ren from Wang Family.

Wen Yishu arrived at the place, looked at the second table, and laughed in his heart: It really is full of five poisons, and the root of the prodigal is all here.

Feng Ziying and the others had known each other for a long time, but those from the Jia family were stunned when they saw Wen Yishu.So he winked and went to look at Xue Pan, feeling very itchy.But Xue Pan just shook his head and whispered, "It's not something we can get."

It is really surprising that the lawless dumb king said this.Can't help but guess the identity of this person.Seeing that Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan at the banquet seemed to be chatting with this person, they felt that it was not easy.

However, these are not the most important things to these ignorant dudes who idle around all day long.It's just a pity that a superb beauty cannot be obtained.

At the last banquet, Wen Yishu pretended to be a ghost and scalded a Laoshizi pear brew, which aroused people's hearts.If there are any good things in the future, we will come to test him and see if he knows everything.

Wen Yishu begged for forgiveness: "Even the gods in the sky don't have such supernatural powers, please let me go."

The crowd refused, and used this as an excuse to drink him a lot of wine, only to make Wen Yishu's cheeks flush.There was also Baoyu's friend at the table, named Liu Xianglian, who liked to pass on operas.Seeing that Yi Shu looked like this, he chose a play to sing.The diction is lingering, which is very suitable for the occasion.

Wen Yi didn't know much about opera in books, but Wen Li liked it, so he knew a thing or two after following along, and followed along with shaking his head.After sweeping his eyes, he saw Baoyu sitting there sullenly, so he walked over.

"What's wrong with Brother Bao? But the food and wine are not to your taste?"

"No, how could it be?" Baoyu quickly waved his hands and smiled wryly, "It's just a worry."

Wen Yishu raised his eyebrows, "Since that's the case, you might as well say it out, I'll figure it out with you."

Baoyu was in need of someone to explain it, so he opened his mouth and wanted to say it.After thinking about it again, he shook his head again, "It's just that people with good intentions always want to go home, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

Good people are homesick...

Wen Yishu smiled silently, the only one who could make Jia Baoyu worry like this all day was that sister Lin.So he said: "The so-called good things are better than not having a home. After being away for a long time, I naturally want to go home."

"Really," Baoyu murmured, but felt that the words made sense, and was dumbfounded, "Can't sisters and sisters stay together for a long time? Do they have to be far away?"

As he spoke, he shed tears.

Seeing this idiot so idiotic, Wen Yishu sighed, brought a handkerchief to him, and persuaded him: "The world's situation is parting. Xisan is better than Xiju, so it won't hurt my heart."

Jia Baoyu wiped away his tears, smiled sadly and said, "Brother Wen is like her."

Wen Yishu knew it was her and not him, but he didn't point it out.Xin Dao said that the child's Fantasy Township will collapse in the future, and he will understand many truths even if he doesn't tell him.Seeing the precious jade on Jia Baoyu's neck for a moment, he said, "I've been hearing from brother Xue that you brought a treasure with you when you fell into the grass. Can you tell me to take a look now?"

"Why not?" Jia Baoyu immediately took the piece of jade from his neck and handed it to Wen Yishu.

However, it is as small as a chicken egg, shiny and flawless, and the words engraved on it can be faintly seen.Wen Yi held the book in his hand and looked at it, thinking: Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times, but finally I saw this thing.

If that monk hadn't given him those words, Wen Yishu would be very surprised by this piece of jade.Anyway, it is a treasure that can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, so how can it not be rare.

It's just that now, he just took a look at it and found it interesting.

Jia Baoyu saw that he was looking seriously, so he said, "Brother Wen, did you ever have any jade?"

"En?" Wen Yishu was taken aback, wondering why this classic question came to him.

Seeing Baoyu's bright eyes, looking forward to it, he was afraid that his answer would not meet his wishes, and he would stage another farce of smashing jade, and hurriedly said: "You don't have one like this, you just brought a piece with you when you were young."

Baoyu said happily, "Maybe you can have a look with me?"

Wen Yishu pulled out the red string around his neck, lowered his head slightly and said, "It's not easy to pick it off since I was a child, so you can look at it like this."

Jia Baoyu went up to it, but saw that piece of jade was no more than a finger. It was green all over, and its luster was as moist as a cold pool.For a moment, his eyes were firmly attracted by it, and he said in a daze, "What is engraved on it?"

Without waiting for Wen Yishu's answer, he got closer and closer, and finally saw clearly that it was a unicorn.

"What a delicate object," Jia Baoyu was amazed.

"Wow! What are you whispering about!" Xue Pan suddenly jumped out from the side, pointed at the two of them and said, "Get caught by me!"

Wen Yishu smiled, leaned over and put the jade back.Baoyu was taken aback by him, and hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, just look at Brother Wen's jade."

It's just that Xue Pan didn't believe it, he just sat on the side, saw the two heads leaning together, and Wen Yishu seemed to unbutton his collar again, he really had to think about it.Feeling uncomfortable in my heart, I thought: It's useless to try to please yourself, but when he came, I took off my collar to see the jade.The same goes for Liu Xianglian, who only likes Baoyu, not me.

The other party was about to speak, and the drunk Wang Ren next to him asked, "What jade?"

"It's just the piece of precious jade that I'm curious about. Let me borrow it to have a look."

"It's really a mouthful," Wang Ren raised the corner of his mouth in disdain, "I've already got the benefits of jade, if you want one piece, I'll have one too."

"They were all brought up by wealthy parents. Who doesn't have a golden lock and jade pendant? What's the matter?" Feng Ziying didn't care very much, and pulled Xue Pan, who was full of displeasure, "If you envy me, I will send it to you tomorrow You together!"

Everyone laughed, until another drunk.

Xue Pan still put on a face, Wen Yishu thought he couldn't completely offend this person, so he apologized: "If Brother Xue doesn't mind, how about I give Brother Xue a piece?"

With these words, Xue Pan regained his composure and said, "What jade is not jade? I don't lack this. Come and have a drink!"

With that said, he threw himself into the fun again.

When everyone was happy, there was Feng Shuo beside him with a miserable face.It turned out that the last time there was a quarrel, Liang Yu had a heart attack, and it was not enough to bring a few mountains, so he asked Feng Shuo to follow along.Wen Yishu couldn't hold him back, so he had to ask Feng Shuo to pretend to be a servant.

At this time, he saw Yi Shu's every move at the banquet, and he kept praying in his heart, praying that the young master would take a rest.He doesn't just look at people, His Highness will definitely ask.It's only a few words, and I'm unbuttoning my collar to show people something, and I want to give something to others.When the time comes, how can I ask him to report back to His Highness!

Feng Shuo had a bitter face, wondering if Wen Yi's bookish king looked at him, so he deliberately vented his anger on him.Goodbye to Wen Yishu's laughing Yan Yan in front of me, I feel more and more difficult to accept this errand.In the future, if anyone in the palace is unfavorable in running an errand, let him come and follow Mr. Wen, and the efficiency of the work in the palace will go up a few steps!

The author has something to say: two in one.In addition, the wrist really hurts, the third update will be postponed to tomorrow, and the double update will be tomorrow.
