Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

It was early dawn and the rain was slightly hazy.

The Lin residence was silent, only the faint sound of Xisuo could be heard.A young servant had been sweeping along the path all the way to Yuan Que Xuan, and stopped when he reached the gate of the courtyard.Probe inside, find a little girl and ask: "Master got up?"

"Not yet, you will come back later."

After saying this, I heard a gentle call from the room to bring water in, the little girl responded back and hurried in.

Lin Jue just woke up in the room, Wen Rou was helping him to put on his shoes, and said, "It rained this morning, and it was cooler than yesterday. The servant girl looked at the bedding in the room, and the uncle's clothes should be changed. The thicker ones are."

"You can figure it out." Responded casually, because of the gentle talk about Luoyu, and thinking of the deer I brought back yesterday, I couldn't help asking: "Is the deer I brought back yesterday settled properly? Does it still have Injured, but not cold."

"Don't worry, sir." Rourou knew early in the morning that he was going to ask the deer, just now when she got up and saw that Lin Jue was still asleep, she took a look outside. "The shed is built tightly, and there are things under it, and it is well placed."

Gentle and always meticulous, Lin Jue naturally understands, no more questions at the moment, just rinsing his mouth and cleaning his teeth, it's a no-brainer.After tidying up, I want to go to Jia Min to pay my respects.

With the deer in his mind, he turned a corner and looked to the other side of the yard.But I saw a little girl next to me, touching the antlers through the fence.Seeing Lin Jue coming, he hurriedly withdrew his hands and came back.

"The slave looks interesting..."

Lin Jue didn't take it to heart, and waved his hand: "No problem." He went over to see the deer.

Seeing that the little girl was still standing there with her head bowed, Wen Rou who was behind her stepped forward and tugged at the corner of her clothes: "You go, I'm here."

The deer was injured, although it had been seen yesterday, after all, it lost blood, and today it is a little limp.The little girl touched it just now, but it refused to move.Now that Lin Jue is here, before he gets close, he has already looked over, with a pair of black and bright deer eyes, it is very attractive to look at.Lin Jue couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to touch its head: "You are a person who orders dishes from others, so you came to me yesterday, and you already have something in mind?"

The deer rubbed its snout against the palm of his hand, making it itchy.He saw a small box next to it, with fresh grass leaves and several handfuls of vegetables in it, and he reached out and took a handful to it's mouth.It barked and came up to eat happily.

Lin Jue was so excited that he fed it two handfuls of grass before straightening up and wiping his hands.Before leaving, he also confessed: "It's good to have a baby."

He smiled gently and said: "How can I ask you to explain such a clever and clever little thing. I don't know, when I brought it back yesterday, so many little girls and servants flocked here to look at it. Sound, just watch not far away."

There was also a smile on the corner of Lin Jue's lips: "It's human nature."

Walking to Congshan Courtyard, when he entered the house, he saw the servants and maidservants gathered around the Xinuang Pavilion. Knowing that Jia Min hadn't got up yet, Lin Jue sat down on the small kang outside.Not long after, the nurse came out with Lin Daiyu in her arms. Lin Daiyu was sleepy and lay on the nurse's shoulder coughing for a while.

"Why are you coughing so badly?" Lin Jue got up and hugged Lin Daiyu into his arms. Daiyu coughed so badly that she hugged his neck and did not speak.

The nurse said: "Yesterday was fine, maybe it's raining today, so I got up early and coughed."

He walked back and forth in the room with Daiyu in his arms, patting her on the back from time to time to make her breathe more evenly.

Xueque moved the partition, and said: "Yesterday, my mother said that the room was stuffy, and asked someone to open the window. I just said that the girl is weak, and the night wind is cold, so I was spit back by my mother. Now look , is that the reason?"

"You little hoof!" The nurse raised her hand and wanted to hit her: "I've been arranging me all day long, so you can say that? Ask the uncle to believe me again, and I'll peel your skin off carefully. The girl grew up on my milk." , can I not feel bad?"

"That's enough!" Lin Jue was the last one to listen to these things, so he exploded immediately, swept his eyes coldly, and said in a concentrated voice: "The wife's room is also a place for you to quarrel carelessly? Even if you are outside, these bastards are not allowed to say anything to the girl." Listen. Ask me to listen again, I will not open my mouth, I will go to Shan Liang to get the board!"

After saying this, Daiyu coughed again.Lin Jue hugged her and felt that she was coughing so badly that it brought his heart to vibrate.He couldn't help frowning and said, "Go ask the doctor."

Xueyan asked someone to go, and he said again: "I remember that there is still sweet-scented osmanthus dew in my mother's room, which was sent by the fifth prince a while ago. It is good for cough and cough, and I will make a cup to eat with Daiyu."

After explaining, Jia Min came out from Xinuang Pavilion.Hearing this, he hurriedly ordered Chen Yu to fetch it.Qin's mother brought another glass cup with hibiscus and twig patterns. Jia Min took the sweet-scented osmanthus clear dew that Chen Yan had brought, blended it with her own hands, and then brought it to Daiyu's lips.

Daiyu just put her arms around Lin Jue's neck and refused to open her mouth. Lin Jue coaxed her, "It's not medicine, and it's not bitter. Daiyu should take a bite anyway, don't let mother down."

Only then was she willing to turn her head and open her mouth, and ate the spoonful of toilet juice.Seeing that it is not bitter and has a sweet taste, I was willing to eat it.

Lin Jue saw that Jia Min was having a hard time feeding through the small table, so she moved to the front of her and said, "Let me do it."

Jia Min said: "It was just agreed yesterday, and today I have a cough like this. When your father left, he told me that if he coughed badly again, he would take my name and go to the palace to ask for an imperial doctor. It's just that Daiyu's disease is self-inflicted. I don’t know how many famous doctors I’ve seen, could it be possible that I’ll be fine if I change to an imperial doctor?”

"Whether it's good or not is up to you. If things go on like this, it won't work." Even though he knew that Lin Daiyu was weak and not ill, and that Gein was still an anomaly, he still felt sorry for her.Even if the hope is slim, I want to give it a try. "My son just asked someone to call for a doctor. Let's wait and see. If it doesn't work, I'll call for a doctor."

"Forget it, just do as you say."

Between the words, Daiyu had already eaten most of the juice from the cup of flower dew.Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Lin Jue coaxed her: "I just caught a deer yesterday, and it's raining outside today, and you're sick, so I can't see you yet. When you recover, come back to the yard with me to watch the deer. "

Daiyu showed joy on her side, and nodded in agreement.The three sat quietly for a while, when outsiders came to invite breakfast, Jia Min ordered the meal to be served, and then they moved.

Because Daiyu had a cough today, she ate red dates and longan porridge this morning, which is the best way to nourish qi and moisten the lungs.Jia Min feared that Lin Jue would also catch cold, and asked him to use more.To reassure Jia Min, he used two bowls.

After breakfast, Lin Jue played with Daiyu again.Daiyu likes reading the most, so she pesters Lin Jue to ask him to read with her.After watching it for a while, I couldn't hold it anymore, and was hugged by the wet nurse.

Lin Jue was about to get up and go back, but Jia Min called him back: "I still have something to say to you."

He sat back again, and Jia Min said: "Your sister was here just now, so I can't say something."

He said, "Mother, please tell me."

"You are also fourteen now, and you will have the coronation ceremony next year. You have to go back to Suzhou to take the provincial examination after you wait for the empress for thousands of years. Counting the days, it is very tight. I gave you Yingluo and Linglong a while ago. , and you refuse to lift them up."

Lin Jue didn't expect Jia Min to mention this matter again, and his face turned red, but he refused to let go: "My son is devoted to studying, and there is no energy left for it."

"Concentrating on studying is a good thing, but it's also very important to have a family and a career." Jia Min knew that he had this once, and said earnestly: "You go back to the country to take the exam, and your parents can't accompany you, but you don't have a brother. How will you make it along the way? What should you do?" Marry a daughter-in-law seriously, and take care of your daily necessities along the way, and when you arrive at the old house, you can concentrate on your studies and have your daughter-in-law take care of you outside, so I can rest assured."

"Mother, why should you be impatient? A man's ambition is everywhere. How can he be dragged by his son's love at this moment?" He said slowly, "My son is not close to women, that's why. If you get the love of a mandarin tent, you will inevitably be distracted. I'm afraid the gain outweighs the loss. My son will reach the crown ceremony next year. He is almost an adult and can take care of himself. If mother is worried, you can take more girls and women with me. Just don't talk about marrying a wife. Another said Come on, even if you want to marry a wife, you can't decide so hastily, and you should choose carefully when you marry a wife."

Jia Min showed helplessness: "Let me tell you something, you will always have a hundred words to answer me. He Zeng told you to get married right away, and it would be good to settle it for now. I heard that there is a girl from the Queen's mother's family in the Beijing Palace, who is about the same age as you. It is quite, and she is a chaste and virtuous person. If you want to know the basics, there is one cousin of your two uncles who has been elected to the palace. There are three other cousins. Although the Rongguo Mansion is not as good as before, the girl's temper But you are well-raised. Theoretically, the age of your second younger sister is the most suitable, but she is the same as the third girl, and she is a concubine. Only the fourth girl is a descendant of the Ningguo Mansion, but she is too young to be a match. After all, the girl from Prince Jing's Mansion is the most suitable one. She is also born in the first place, she is talented, and I heard that she is also very beautiful."

Lin Jue sipped his tea and listened silently to her saying this long series, after all, it was a loving mother's heart, so it was not easy to interrupt.After she had finished speaking, she said: "I understand what my mother wants, but my son doesn't care about it, so why bother to provoke a good girl from others. Besides, the girls in the Beijing Palace are precious, how can ordinary people ask for it?" married."

"Although the Beijing Prince's Mansion has a great business and is a descendant, that girl failed to win the title. My Lin family also became a nobleman, and your father has reached the second rank. You are promising, how can you not marry?"

"Mother sees that I am naturally very kind, but other people don't think so." Lin Jue rubbed the safety button on his heart through the clothes, and his brows softened a little. "On the contrary, I talked to King He Rui yesterday and heard him mention that although the empress wants to choose a son-in-law for her sister-in-law, she still chooses the royal family. If that's the case, mother, please don't mention it."

Jia Min didn't know this, and was a little surprised when Lin Jue said it slowly.But he also understands that this matter cannot be forced, so he can only nod his head: "That's all right, the noble ladies in the capital are like this, just pick and choose."

In this way, Lin Jue resigned after talking again.Jia Min lowered his eyes, sipped his tea slowly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Mommy..."

Mother Qin replied, "Yes, madam."

"Go, bring Linglong here quietly, I want to ask a question." Putting on the lid of the lamp, she said in a concentrated voice, "I can't tell Jue'er to hide every time, there must be a regulation."
