Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

At the end of autumn and winter solstice, cotton and snow flakes fly all over the imperial city, which looks like a piece of silver.New Year's Eve is approaching, some people in Beijing put on new clothes early in the morning, and put up couplets, beaming with joy.

A horse-drawn carriage with red curtains, vermilion covers, bead curtains, and double horses slowly drove out of the palace. Passers-by on the road stepped aside when they saw it.There was a bean curd seller wearing a coarse cloth bunt nearby, and he gave a bowl of bean curd to the guests who came to eat the bean curd. When he saw the cart, he praised it casually: "Look at this style, he really is someone who can go to the palace."

The person sitting and eating bean curd was a heroic man, well dressed, he didn't look like someone willing to come to this small stall to eat.The stall owner also knew that these brothers from aristocratic families didn't come here to taste something new, how could they come to eat in a serious manner.

The man ate a spoonful of bean curd, and seeing the car slowly approaching, he couldn't help asking: "This car looks very gorgeous."

"No, ordinary people can't sit here anymore." Seeing him talking, the stall owner became interested, and said: "Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has dealt with many important officials. Only the Zuo family and Shang Lin's family are the only ones who are now here. " He raised his thumb, "I heard that the Empress Dowager loves Miss Lin very much, and she will call Miss Lin into the palace five or six days out of ten. Today, I'm raising my love, and seeing how loyal Lin is, I specially seal her The Lord of Fushou County is really a great grace of the emperor. From my point of view, the person sitting in this car must be the Lord of Fushou County."

The Lord of Fushou County?

Today, the Lin family is indeed worthy of the mighty kindness of the emperor.It's just... the man couldn't help but frown.I don't know what went wrong, this life is so different from the original one.The Lin family was already in decline, but they left an only daughter and sent them to the Rongguo Mansion to raise them.Lin Hai also left after a while, leaving only one daughter alone in the world, and she also left very early.

Unexpectedly, there were such changes in this life. Not to mention Lin Hai returned to the capital early, he actually had a son!Now the Lin family is full of harmony and happiness, and the new emperor values ​​it, but it is completely different.Just when he was in a daze, a young man in a vermilion brocade robe rode a tall horse from that side.

But he saw that his face was like an autumn moon, and his eyes were full of affection. It was Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu got off his horse, and laughed with him, "Yanzhi, why did you ask me to come here so nicely? In the middle of winter and the twelfth lunar month, set up a table at home, warm up two jugs of wine, and let's talk and play while eating. , wouldn't it be good?"

The man he called Yanzhi smiled and said: "What's the fun at home, can I see your sister from the Lin family?"

At this sound, Jia Baoyu fell into depression, sat down on the stool in front of him, and said sullenly: "Don't talk about home, even when I went to Lin's mansion last time, my sister also went to the palace, and I didn't see her." .”

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Lin Daiyu has been favored by the empress dowager, and she often has to go to the palace, and usually does not go to the Rongguo mansion.Therefore, Jia Baoyu has not seen him for nearly a month.He had already thought about it, but he wanted to mention it again.

"You're late, I didn't see you. The carriage of Fushou county owner just passed by." The man pushed the bean curd sent by the stall owner in front of him, "Let's try it, the bean curd on this stall is really unique .”

Jia Baoyu seldom eats this kind of food. Although it is not very refined, it is still interesting, so he also took a white porcelain spoon and ate it one by one. "Have you seen sister Lin's frame?"

"It's just passed, what a big battle. It is rumored that the Empress Dowager loves this girl very much, and now I look at it, it is somewhat true." He joked with Jia Baoyu, "Master Fushou County is busy with nobles and people, so naturally he can't take care of you. Here. It's a pity that my grandson's family doesn't have a sister, if not, I can send her to the palace to earn some face."

Such wild words, but no one can say a word, what he said was wrong.

So you know who this person is, his surname is Sun, his name is Shaoxian, and his name is Yanzhi.He is not a well-known figure, his cousin must be remembered by all the judges.It was the man Jia Yingchun married in the original red building, who was called Sun Shaozu.

How to only know about Sun Shaozu, but not about Sun Shaoxian?

Jia Baoyu heard Sun Shaoxian's words, but suddenly became demented, his eyes were dull, and he shook his head again and again: "Is there anything good in the palace, I hope that the elder sister will come back."

There is a concubine Xian from the Rongguo Mansion, and the emperor's harem is now full of beauties.The Rongguo Mansion had already shown signs of decay, but with this Concubine Xian's meritorious service to the dragon, it could prolong its glory for a few more years.Inside and outside the capital, who doesn't envy the good fortune of Jia's mansion.However, Jia Baoyu didn't know the blessings in the blessings. After receiving this honor, he still wanted to push it out.

People outside said that he was a little crazy, which seemed to be the truth.

Sun Shaoxian was just casually saying that he really lamented that there were no girls in the mansion, but he used this excuse to direct the conversation to Jia Yingchun.He skipped this, and asked Jia Baoyu again: "Let's not talk about it, there is something in your house that I envy."

Jia Baoyu asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that there are many girls in your mansion, and the sisters and sisters gather together, which is very lively. In winter, all the flowers wither, and your Rongguo Mansion is full of flowers."

Jia Baoyu is not a thoughtful person, so he followed his words and mentioned Jia Yingchun after a while.However, the daughter of the boudoir should not be mentioned without permission, and it can only be said casually, Sun Shaoxian is already very satisfied.

Lin Daiyu went back to Lin's mansion, and first went to Jia Min's courtyard to meet the ceremony.Jia Min's body is getting heavier now, since that day when he was injured in the palace, he has been raised in the yard since he came back.It was said that he would lead Daiyu to Zhuangzi, but it failed.Lin Daiyu usually has a temper tantrum, but at this time she knows how to measure.Recently, he often entered the palace again, so he seemed more and more sensible.

Jia Min had a conversation with Daiyu, asking her if she was comfortable in the palace, if she ate well, but if she had a cough.Daiyu answered one by one, only saying that everything is fine and she doesn't need to worry about it.That's all for Jia Min, and he asked someone to serve some candied fruit snacks.

Among them is a dish called bianzhi sour, which Daiyu always likes.Jia Min said: "You have loved this since you were a child, but you don't usually have such a good taste. It was brought by a woman from the south. It's okay for me to eat it."

Lin Daiyu took one and ate it, and said with a smile: "It's the taste of the south, and it has a third of the taste of Suzhou in it."

In terms of imagery, it is not.

Jia Min shook her head: "I don't know who you have learned from being so tricky." He pointed to a plate of licorice and plum beside him, "Try this."

She still took one and ate it, and after a while spit out the core, "This one is okay to eat."

"It's extremely rare to have a good word from you. It can be seen that it is really good." Jia Min took tea and ate it slowly, and after eating half a cup, he said: "This New Year's Eve is over, and you are one year older. You are seven years old. You should know some things, and stop playing around in a muddle-headed way. If it’s still the same as before, it’s okay to be completely ignorant. You have your father and elder brother to protect you. Even if you get married in the future, your in-law’s family will not dare to bully you. Now Now you have to be named the Lord of Fushou County, this is the Empress Dowager and Shanglong En. It’s just that fortune and misfortune have been dependent on each other since ancient times, so you have to know how to advance and retreat, so that you can last for a long time.”

Lin Daiyu said: "Yes, my daughter knows."

"Understood, I have to keep it firmly in my heart." Jia Min stretched out his hand and touched her forehead. "Your brother is more energetic today and can walk around. It just so happens that you are fully dressed now, go and see your brother."

Lin Jue was already weak, only slightly better than Lin Daiyu.It's just that something happened in the palace on Qianqiu Festival that day, and Lin Jue couldn't get sick after returning.Finally he got better, he went out to meet King He Rui, but when he came back, he was even more sick, and couldn't get out of bed the next day.In the days that followed, I was lingering on the sick bed again, and I was always so sick that I couldn't get out of bed every few days.This time it happened, counting the time, Lin Daiyu hadn't seen Lin Jue for two or three days.

When entering the palace that day, Lin Jue put on Lin Daiyu the safety buckle presented to him by King He Rui, saying it was something that could save his life.Sure enough, Lin Daiyu and Jia Min were safe and sound, but something happened to Lin Jue.Therefore, Jia Min suspected that it was because of the face of the Ping An button that they were saved.Although she couldn't say it clearly, after all, Daiyu was very intelligent, so she could guess one or two points.

Thinking of this, Jia Min said: "I don't need to tell you how much your elder brother treats you, but you should remember it well."

"My brother treats me well, I will remember." Lin Daiyu stood up and said, "I'll go and see my brother."

After that, Lin Daiyu saluted and went to Yuanquexuan.Jia Min watched her leaving back, then looked at the candied fruit on the table, and let out a little breath.

It turned out that Lin Daiyu was the one who worried her the most, but Lin Jue could still comfort her a bit.Now all of them have lost their stature, and the most reassuring one has become the most worrying one.

Seeing her uneasy expression, Qin's mother persuaded her, "Madam, don't worry, our uncle is a lucky person."

"Yes, he is a very blessed person." Jia Min squeezed out a smile, nodded and said: "It's just that the blessing is thick or not, it is the second. It is only reasonable to hope that he can be at peace for a long time. High-ranking officials and rich salary , Guangzong Yaozu, are not as important as his body."

Jia Min in Rongguo Mansion has a nephew named Jia Zhu, who is Qiancheqian.A young man who succeeds in his career and has obtained fame early, so what can he do.The orphans and widows are left behind, and they live their lives according to their original expectations.

Lin Daiyu walked all the way into Yuan Que Xuan, and everything was quiet. There was a wooden table in the room, on which was a cup of white porridge, a plate of cold lettuce, a bowl of preserved egg tofu, and a plate of shrimp roe. fish.

Seeing Daiyu coming, You Shan dragged the wooden case to salute, and said, "Young lady is here."

Daiyu nodded, stepped into the room, and asked, "Why are you eating at this time?"

"The uncle said that his chest was tight, and he refused to use it at noon. Now he said that he was a little flustered because of hunger, and wanted to eat something refreshing. That's why I prepared a small meal."

Saying that, the two bypassed the screen and entered the back room.The maidservants guarding outside saw Daiyu and saluted one after another, and someone shouted inside: "The young lady is here to see the uncle."

While speaking, Lin Daiyu had already seen Lin Jue.He was leaning on the small kang reading a book, wearing only old home-made clothes, light-colored lake blue silk clothes, holding a carved brass hand warmer in one hand, and his black hair was loosely tied behind his head. His complexion is extremely pale, his lips are dry, his eyes are slightly darkened, and his eyes are slightly blue. Although he is sick and weak at first glance, he still has an unparalleled complexion and a unique style.

Seeing her coming, Lin Jue put down the book and laughed, "Daiyu is here."
