Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

Xin Fu turned around slowly, looked at Ying Luo indifferently: "Are you willing to say it now?"

Tears glistened in Yingluo's eyes, she raised her head, and tears rolled down her face slowly.She whispered: "You all want to know about Zhu Dang, if I say that I know very little, will you believe me?"

"Then pick up what you know." Xin Fu sat back on the kang again, and said to Xu Shan: "Your elder sister Jiaoqin is not on duty today, you go call her and ask her to go to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of hot milk stew." Bring the eggs."

"Hey." Xu Shan responded, and then Xin Fu said, "Let's go."

Yingluo scooped up a spoonful of Poria Cocos Frost and ate it, the bitterness in her mouth penetrated from the tip of her tongue to her atrium. "I probably don't know what you want to know. The pearl was originally bought by our wife. When I was in the wife's room, the pearl was already there..."

How many girls who are sold like them can keep their surnames?

Beads will do.

Zhudang was literate, well-groomed, dignified, and elegant in conversation.Both Lin Hai and Jia Min love her very much and treat her like a vice lady.She appears to be serving others, but Jia Min doesn't even ask her to serve tea and water, and only serves her with others.

There are at least four big maids in the concubine's room of the aristocratic family, but Zhudang is weaker and has two.

At that time, Lin Jue was the only one in the mansion, even Lin Daiyu hadn't come out yet.Zhu Dang is so rich that she lives in the green cupboard in the wife's room.The pearl pendant of that day lived the life of Lin Daiyu today.

"Master and wife both love her, even our uncle listens to her and obeys her in everything. But I don't know where the wind came, saying that the wife is going to give the bead and put it in the uncle's room. People, just after this word came out, there was another rumor. It turned out that Zhudang was originally the master girl of a big family, and she was sold out because of something bad. Now that she has been wronged, she is going to take Zhudang back."

Speaking of this point, she seemed to be stagnant, Xin Fu waited for a while, and then asked: "What happened next?"

Yingluo stared at Xin Fu, her eyes were full of water: "Later? Zhudang is not later."

As soon as the words fell, Jiaoqin's voice came from outside the curtain: "Sister, tell me to go to the kitchen to order the milk stewed eggs."

Xin Fu waved her hand to ask Yingluo to stop for now, and said loudly, "Come in."

The curtain was parted for a while, and Jiaoqin came in with a round red lacquered wooden tray, on top of which was a small half bowl of stewed eggs in a blue glazed bowl.Xin Fu glanced at Yingluo, Jiao Qin understood, and brought it to Yingluo.

Yingluo picked it up and took a bite. The stewed egg with milk was sweet and delicious, tender and delicate. Yingluo ate it in her mouth, but felt bitter in her heart.

She ate more than half of the bowl, ordered another bowl of tea to eat, and then said to Xin Fu: "Before the pearl pendant was given to the uncle's room, she died." She raised her head, her gaze was empty, She seemed to see nothing, yet seemed to see everything in her eyes. "You know me, and you must also know Linglong. Yingluo and I have been serving Zhudang all the time. Linglong has an older brother. She met Zhudang by chance and has never forgotten it."

In the silence of the afternoon, a little girl's whispering voice came from time to time, before it reached my ears, it was blown away by the breeze.

There was silence in the main room of the other courtyard, the door was wide open, and one could see the maidservants standing silently standing on both sides of the door along the door, spreading inward until it stopped outside the curtain of the inner room.The curtain was raised, and the room was brightly lit. Xin Fu stood with her head down in the hall, carefully repeating what Ying Luo had just said.

King He Rui sat on the kang on one side, on the kang was a chessboard, on the other side sat a man wearing a straight train with jeweled green brocade embroidered with gourd and double happiness pattern, he was concentrating on the chess game, but he had handsome features and a dignified appearance, Seeing it, I only feel that there are poems and books in my belly, and its energy is self-sufficient.It is the best friend of Prince He Rui, the elder brother of Princess Xiaoyi, Chen Ju'an.

King He Rui gave birth to a son, raised his hand to take tea to eat, and said while eating: "What she said is not true. She said that Zhudang was originally a family of officials, and later she heard that her family was wronged, and wanted to Take her back, Linglong's elder brother, who borrowed his courage to touch Zhudang? Besides, he was so bold, how did she know about Zhudang's death? clear?"

Chen Ju'an looked at the chessboard for a while, but still didn't make a move, heard King He Rui ponder over this matter, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Since she usually attends to Zhu Dang with Linglong, it is normal for her to know that this happened. To be able to speak in such detail must have been on the spot. She must have contributed to Zhudang's death."

King He Rui didn't say a word, Xin Fu said again: "Ying Luo said, Master Lin is very fond of Zhu Pang, Zhu Pang has gone, and Master Lin has been ill for a long time, and when he is sick, he burns incense to sacrifice. I made a special trip to Daming Temple and copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures for Zhudang. In the following years, every time Zhudang sacrificed, Uncle Lin was heartbroken. On this year’s memorial day, Zhudang has not yet written two lines of poems .It is said that "the waist is suspended and the pearls fall down, and the phoenix hairpin falls obliquely and shakes step by step"[1]."

Having said so much, King He Rui's expression was gloomy, even more so cold, he only heard him say: "Enough!"

Xin Fu fell silent immediately, lowered her eyes, and dared not speak.

Chen Ju'an finally figured out the next step, took his son and left, saying: "But I want to be fair, you asked someone to investigate, and now your maidservant has said it one by one, even if you feel unhappy after hearing it, why bother?" Take your anger out on her?"

In this way, there is no danger.King He Rui frowned, waved Xin Fu down, and lowered his head to look at the teacup.

Chen Juan casually threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, leaned back, and said with a half-smile: "I've never seen you look so intolerable for a person before, I thought you were so cold-faced and cold-hearted, I just saw you It’s not that you are fascinated. Now that I see it, yes, things in this world are very fair.”

Chen Ju'an was several years older than King He Rui, and he and his beloved wife also had a lot of twists and turns that day.At first, King He Rui and Shui Rong watched the jokes on the sidelines, but now Feng Shui took turns, and it finally came to the time when King He Rui was haggard.

He said with a smile: "Some time ago you sent someone to my house and said you wanted me to take in a student, so it must be this one?"

King He Rui put the teacup away, and said softly, "So what?"

"I have met that Lin Shangshu. He was born with a dignified appearance and a good demeanor. I heard that his wife, Jia Shi, is a descendant of the Rongguo Mansion. When she was in her boudoir, she was also praised as the best in the world. These two people The adopted son must have a very good complexion, which can make you fall in love."

He stretched out his hand, put the chess pieces back into the box one by one, and said: "Color appearance is second, even if I don't have that complexion, I still like him."

"That's right, you are not a person who loves Fengyue." Chen Ju'an leaned over and pointed out: "You make me want to meet this young master of the Lin family even more."

King He Rui paused, raised his hand at the end, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "What's so difficult about it?"

But it is said that Lin's mansion has just moved to a new house, so everything is in chaos.Everyone tidied up for a whole day, before they looked a little better.Yuan Quexuan's inner gentleness led the people to clean up for quite some time before cleaning up the inside.

Lin Jue sat at the table and wrote a few words, then picked up a copy of "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" [2] to read, and finally felt disturbed.In the end, he closed the book casually, and said a little annoyed: "I'm tired, you all go out."

Everyone withdrew one after another, and after being out of sight, he went to the small kang.There was a red lacquered wooden box on the small table. Lin Jue sat forward and couldn't help reaching out to explore it. After a moment of hesitation, he opened the lid of the box.

I saw a bamboo pen holder inside, which was hollowed out, and it was exquisite everywhere.The picture of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest [3] is engraved on it, which shows its elegant bones.Lin Jue was overjoyed, and couldn't help reaching out to take the pen holder, holding it in the palm of his hand and looking at it carefully.I can see that the seven sages in the picture are different from each other, and they are vividly carved without losing the dust, which must have taken a lot of effort.

After caressing it carefully for a while, I looked in, but I saw a purse of the three friends of Suihan and Tianshui Bixiu inside. I took it out and opened it, but it was a strand of black hair and a letter.The black hair is tied with a vermilion thread, which feels stiff to the touch, so it must not belong to a woman.Lin Jue pursed her lips, put it aside first, and opened the letter to read.

King He Rui's characters are like his own characters, his characters are vigorous, and his characters are like iron paintings.

Only a few words, but as if talking in detail in front of your eyes, what you wrote is: because He Zijing moved away, I will present Zenian's humble work.Bamboo has a strong character, which is worthy of Zijing.The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest narrate in detail the romance of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the willfulness of the past.Zijing is proud of his youth, so it can be ignored.

Lin Jue couldn't help raising her lips, and said to herself, "You know what I'm happy about." As he spoke, he read the words on the paper again, and just folded them up as they were, and stuffed them back into his purse and put them away. into the box.

But the pen holder of the bamboo carved Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove was not put away, he stood up with it, walked slowly to the desk, did not put away the original one, but carefully placed it on the desk, stepped back, looked Once, I feel very good.

He turned around and closed the wooden box, only to see a strand of black hair lying on the side.Lin Jue frowned, and couldn't help cursing: "Send this thing to scare people for no reason."

As he spoke, he took out a soft handkerchief, spread it out and put the black hair in it, and wrapped it carefully.Just when I was about to open the box and put it in, I heard Qin's mother outside asking: "Why are you all outside? What are you doing inside?"

Gentlely replied: "My lord said I'm tired, and I want to take a short break, so I just asked the servants to come out and wait." As she spoke, she opened the curtain and invited Qin's mother to go in.

For some reason, he was flustered for a while, and without thinking carefully, he put the soft handkerchief wrapped with black hair into the skirt of his clothes.

Qin's mother just entered the curtain, and saw Lin Jue standing by the side of the kang, with her back turned to her, not knowing what she was doing.Yin said: "It's not that the uncle is tired. What are you doing standing?"

Lin Jue's heartbeat slowed down slightly, and then she turned her head and said, "I lay down for a while, and my body became a little limp. I got up and was about to go to my mother's room to have a look, and the mother came."

Qin's mother looked at his face strangely, stepped forward to probe his forehead, and asked doubtfully: "Why is your face so red, could it be that you are tired today?"
