Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

It was a servant who came to report the letter. Seeing that Lin Jue was still standing by the window, Wen Rou turned and went out, and asked, "But the master and wife told us to go to the front yard?"

The servant then said: "This servant is here to pass on the message. Princess Xiaoyi's Mrs. Li has gone ahead to get it, and there are those of King He Rui and the eldest son of the emperor. They have been pointed out to the uncle, and the master ordered someone to bring them. I guess it’s about time.”

Coincidentally, as soon as the flowers fell, I saw Beisheng leading two women and two maidservants here, Wen Rou looked there, it was Xin Fu and Zhong Xing.He hurriedly raised his skirt to meet her, and said with a smile: "The two sisters are here."

Xin Fu smiled and pinched the flesh on her face: "Look at how well-groomed you are, it can be seen that Mr. Lin doesn't ask you to do important things." Then he said: "My lord knows that Lin's house is moving today, so he went there again. Zhuangzi from outside the city went up, but he didn’t have time, so he ordered me to come and give gifts. Is Uncle Lin in there?”

"Yes." Rourou led the two to the door, and asked them to go in sideways, and ordered Yinyuan to fetch the reward silver to dismiss the servant who sent the message.

Lin Jue had already turned around from the window, and turned to look at the two of them.He was willing to smile when he treated Xin Fu, because he said: "How are you two girls?"

Xin Fu said: "It's all good, please trouble me to remember."

Lin Jue took two steps forward, sat down on the kang, and ordered someone to watch the seat.He picked up the holly-glazed teapot and poured three cups of tea.Xin Fu and Zhong Xing were already sitting on a slightly shorter stool in front of him, he held a teacup, and first gave it to Zhong Xing who was closer: "Have tea."

Zhong Xing took a sip, then smiled and said: "It really is a good job, to be able to eat the tea poured by the uncle himself."

Lin Jue only smiled and didn't speak, and gave Xin Fu another cup of tea.His fingertips are fair, his hand color is better than snow, his appearance is almost like a painting, and his every move is a beautiful scene.

Xin Fu also ate tea, and said softly: "I heard that the uncle is moving, and the prince is not prepared in time, and there is nothing good. Today, because there is something to deal with in Zhuangzi, I went to Zhuangzi. It happens that there is a buffalo, which can be dealt with. At that time, thinking of the buffalo meat to nourish the fetus and nourish the blood, he cut off a leg and ordered the servants to bring it. It was very dirty, so I didn't pick it up to pollute the uncle's eyes."

Buffalo meat can indeed nourish the fetus and nourish the blood, and it also has the effect of warming and tonifying. Lin Jue has also read it in the book.Presumably King He Rui thought that Lin Jue's mother, Jia Min, was pregnant and getting older, and the fetus was not stable, so he ordered someone to bring it here.It is not easy to think of this crop.Nowadays, this kind of beef is rare, and ordinary people may not be able to eat it once in a lifetime.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern." This thank you was very sincere.

Xin Fu nodded, and beckoned a servant girl behind her to come forward, took the red lacquered wooden box from her hand, covered the box cover with one hand, and said softly: "There is another thing, it was given to the uncle by the prince. Tell the servants what it is, and just say that the uncle will understand as long as he sees it."

Lin Jue looked at the wooden box, and there seemed to be something strange in his eyes, before he could distinguish it, it disappeared in an instant.He looked away in a blink of an eye, looked at the vase decoration on the side, and said softly: "Got it."

Seeing this, Xin Fu went forward to give it away, but Rou Rou saw that he still refused to reach out, so she had to go forward to take it.

At the side, Zhong Xing also ordered the maidservant behind her to come forward, but she didn't pick it up, but just opened the box with the maidservant's hand.Inside is a snow-white jade flute with a big red net of a Sixi bat hanging on the top, and a tassel of the same color hanging from the bottom.

"The eldest prince said that he is like this now, and there is nothing good to give away. Uncle Lin is not a vulgar person who loves gold and silver. Sending those things out may also pollute him. After thinking about it, he gave this Fang Yuxiao. It’s not a rare thing, but Concubine Yuan gave this to him when he said he wanted to learn flute. Now I’ve hit it off with you, Uncle Lin, and I have the right to give it to you as a memory.”

After all, order the maidservant to come forward.Lin Jue looked at the jade flute in the box for a while, and was delighted to see that the jade was delicate and soft.He couldn't help reaching in, took the jade flute, and held it in his hand.This jade flute is only more than two palms long, it is shiny and lovely, exquisite and exquisite.He rubbed the body of the flute, and felt that there was a sense of unevenness, so he turned the jade flute upside down, but saw a line of small characters engraved on the body of the flute, which read "24 bridges on a moonlit night".

Lin Jue held Yuxiao tightly, then slowly let go, and put it back into the box.He said softly: "Thank you for your kindness, Eldest Prince, I like this jade flute very much." While ordering someone to keep it away, he called Wen Rou: "Where is the piece I wrote a while ago?"

Wen Rou was not sure which one it was, so she asked with a smile: "Recently, the uncle has written a lot of words, and they are all kept in the box. Which one is the master asking?"

Lin Jue thought for a while, and then said: "Forget it, you go to grind it, and I will rewrite another one." After speaking, he stood up and said, "Wait a moment, I have a few words, and I want you to pass them on to the First Prince."

"Yes."

Zhong Xing agreed, and saw Lin Jue go inside.After a while, he came out with a sapphire blue purse and handed it to Zhong Xing. "What I want to say is all in this purse."

Zhong Xing stretched out both hands to receive it respectfully, holding the purse in her hands and said: "Yes, I understand."

Lin Jue explained this before looking at Xin Fu again.He moved his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something, but finally held back.At the end, he said: "The house is very chaotic today, so I won't keep you here."

As soon as these words came out, both of them stood up and bowed their knees: "Your maidservant will leave."

"Gentle, send the two girls out."

"Hey." Rou Rou responded softly, and then stepped forward to send the two of them out.Walking to the door, Xin Fu tugged Wenrou's hand secretly, and said softly: "I got a new trick here, and I thought I would give it to my sister later. Now that my sister is here, let's take it back together."

Saying so, Yang Zhong Xing waited for a moment, then dragged Xin Fu to her room.

The two closed the door, and Xin Fu asked: "Now you are here, what is the order? A while ago, I saw some eyebrows, but now I look cold and indifferent. It makes people anxious. The eldest prince still I have some half-words to take back, how come I don’t even have a word when I get to Wang Ye?"

"The eldest prince and our lord are different in the heart of the lord. The eldest prince is a confidant, what is our lord, this is not the same, and the other is not the same." After speaking, he got on the kang and opened the kang. From the drawer under the small table, he took out a lake blue purse and handed it to Xin Fu.

Xin Fu picked it up and asked, "What is it?"

Gentle and pouted: "Sister, see for yourself."

"You little hoof, you hang on to me sincerely." Although he cursed, he opened the purse with his hand and took out a piece of paper from it.Spread it out and see that it is a small poem. "How does it look like your words?"

"It's my handwriting too." Wen Rou said while looking out.After confirming that no one was there, he said: "Who did you write it in front of? Uncle Lin wrote it casually a while ago, and I saw it when I was packing up. I copied a copy in the spare time. It was written by Master Lin." Maybe one day I will find it and see it, how dare I give it to the prince?"

Xin Fu nodded, but saw that there was still a strand of black hair in her purse, so she asked, "Is this Uncle Lin's?"

"When I was serving, it was scattered and collected, but at least I gathered such a strand."

Xin Fu nodded, and put her hair and the poem back into her purse again, "Understood, I'll go back now, if there is anything, please pass it on carefully."

She was about to leave, but Wenrou stopped her again: "Sister told me anyway, what happened to the Zhuangzi, and the prince was required to rush there in person."

Xin Fu pursed her lips and smiled, then pointed out quietly: "Uncle Lin used to have Ying Luo in his room, where do you think she is now?"

The eldest prince had just taken the medicine, and was slightly tilted on the soft couch for a moment.Hearing that Zhong Xing had returned, he got up.

In a short while, Zhong Xing came in from the outside holding a lacquered wooden tray, on which was placed a sapphire blue purse.

"Slave and servant send my greetings to the master."

The eldest prince asked: "Is everything delivered?"

Zhong Xing said with a smile: "Here it is, Uncle Lin likes it very much." While talking, he put the wooden tray on the table, and held the purse to the eldest prince: "Uncle Lin wrote a few words."

The eldest prince's eyes were blank, and he stretched out his hand to brush Zhong Xing's hand. When he touched the purse, he picked it up, opened it and asked, "What is the purse like?"

Zhong Xing looked at it carefully, and replied: "Sapphire blue bottom, embroidered with bamboo leaves, Uncle Lin always likes to use this style of purse."

"Yes." The eldest prince smiled and nodded, spread out the paper in his hand, stretched out his hand and slowly groped, and asked, "What's written on it?"

She looked sideways, and read: "It's a small phrase, it says 'Swipe drunk ink, ask Ku Rong'[1]."

Hearing this, the First Prince's smile deepened, and he slowly folded up the piece of paper and stuffed it into his lapel.

Zhong Xing didn't understand what it meant, and asked, "But what kind of allusion is this?"

"Wipe the drunken ink and ask Ku Rong. This is the last sentence in "Jiangcheng Ziye Drinks on the Pond", and there is a sentence before it, which is 'An De Qinglian shares the same wine'." The eldest prince half closed his eyes, his eyelashes cast a shadow, and fell On the face, showing a different kind of gentleness. "I never drink alcohol, but if it's Zijing, I can give it a try."

Sitting quietly for a while, I heard him ask again: "I heard that Uncle Seventeen has entered the palace several times recently, why don't I see him come to my place?"

Zhong Xing didn't understand what he meant, and replied casually: "It must be that the emperor has sent a new errand, and he is very busy. Today, I went to the Lin Mansion to deliver something, and Grandpa Wang sent Sister Xinfu. I heard that there were two or three sentences in her words." , Said that the prince went to Zhuangzi outside the city today."

The eldest prince frowned, clasped his index finger on the soft couch, and immediately said: "I'm a little tired, I want to sway, you go out first."

"Yes." Zhong Xing didn't doubt that he was there, still picked up the wooden tray, bowed and retreated.

The eldest prince's eyes flashed with light, and he said slowly: "Going to... Zhuangzi outside the city? Could it be that... is true..."
