On the second day, Lin Heng took a few younger siblings to go for an outing together. When Jia Mu sent someone to pick up Daiyu when she came back, she stopped by to visit Jia's mansion, which was considered a full courtesy.

Only Mrs. Wang, heard that Lin Heng had arrived at Jia's mansion, and rushed over in a hurry. She asked for money, and the family's villa in Jia's mansion was almost built, and the money was spent like flowing water. A few 10 taels was not enough at all, Mrs. Wang wanted Wang Xifeng to come, but Wang Xifeng had already refused to listen to her, so she had no choice but to lower her face and raise money everywhere.

Lin Heng was too lazy to talk to her, so he gave another 10 taels, anyway, it was given in front of the old lady and all the maids, so it was to give Daiyu some confidence, so as not to be angry with her by.

Mrs. Wang took the bank note indifferently on the face, but she was twisting the veil secretly. She didn't understand what the old lady meant. Baoyu was getting older and it was time to start a family, but she just didn't like Daiyu. This is not yet married, and the son only has her in his heart, and when he becomes married, she might be thrown aside as his own mother.Just like her nasty mother, she's a seductive little goblin, fake and lofty!

It's a pity that she has no reason to object. Although Daiyu is a little slender, she has a ruddy complexion, and she is very healthy at a glance. That slenderness is not a detracting point, but a plus point. She is an official, but her background is deep, she has countless old friends, and her reputation is very good in the Qingliu. There are two brothers in her family who stand in the same family, and her upbringing is beyond reproach. She was brought up by Jia's mother. .

The master of the house has been intimidated by Lin Heng several times, and he dare not be presumptuous in front of him. The servants step on the high and flatter the low, who doesn't know that Miss Lin is full of confidence, who will offend her, not to mention the richness of the Lin family, and Lin Daiyu doesn't care about money. It was very loose inside, and the servants were naturally happy to flatter her in front of her, turning their heads and saying good things without spending money, and Wang Xifeng, who was in charge of the butler, stood on Daiyu's side with a clear-cut stand.

Everyone said that Daiyu was good, and Mrs. Wang was even more depressed. What she focused on was her sister's daughter Xue Baochai. Although Xue's family was powerless, they were very rich. It looks like a good wife and mother, fully meeting the standards of a daughter-in-law in her heart.

He has no power or power, so he can only rely on her. Sooner or later, his son will have a huge family fortune. He is dignified and virtuous, and has both ability and political integrity. That pompous little girl and her only ally, Aunt Xue, is no good!

However, Xue Baochai's heart is full of gullies. If she is willing to cooperate with Mrs. Wang, she must be able to win over many people's hearts. However, Xue Baochai's original thoughts disappeared strangely after meeting Daiyu, and she couldn't tell why. It's just that she has so many inexplicable and complicated feelings for Daiyu, but after that, she was a little bored when she saw Baoyu, so she just didn't show it.

Now that she stays in Jia's mansion, she often feels empty and cold, and she is lazy in socializing with people and trying to build a reputation.

Aunt Xue was aware of the changes in her daughter, but she thought it was the father's death that had hit her daughter too hard, and the situation of living under the fence was also depressing, which made her daughter become more silent and secretly distressed.On the contrary, everyone in Jia's house thought that she had a gentle and silent personality, somewhat similar to Yingchun.

Lin Daiyu and Lin Shiyin knew her better. Xue Baochai often came to look for Daiyu. Daiyu's feelings for her were very complicated for no reason. Every time she saw her, she felt a little restless, which led Lin Heng and Lin Shiyin to think that they were It's not that there is some unclear connection, but seeing Daiyu's performance doesn't look like it, so she let it go.

Because she often came to look for Daiyu, Lin Shiyin gradually became acquainted with her, and admired her talent, bearing, and scheming methods, and once mentioned to Lin Heng that she would be absorbed into the Red Chamber, Lin Heng thought about it for a while , or refused.

He already has Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and his wife under his command, and these two people have a lot of power. Lin Heng sent his confidant over there to help him and watch over him. In addition, the two of them don't know martial arts. Although they are greedy, they are very witty and ambitious. It's not big, Lin Heng only wants to show off his power on this three-acre land, so Lin Heng can use them at ease. If there is another Xue Baochai, there will be too many people related to the Jia family under him, and Xue Baochai is talented and scheming. Such people are the easiest to breed ambition, but it is really difficult to control it.

After going through the cutscene from Jia's Mansion, and returning to Lin's Mansion, I received two invitation cards, one was from Gong Xuanyu, still sent by the secret guard, inviting him to meet, and the other was from Butler Lin. It was a greeting card from a person named Li Xunhuan.

Lin Heng put down the invitation card in his hand, and took the greeting card. The owner of the card wrote a good handwriting. This Mr. Li Xunhuan is also a relative of our family, your eldest aunt, Mrs. Li is his real aunt, he is our young lady's cousin, so he is very close!"

Lin Heng pinched the thin post, and read it again: "Since the relationship is so close, why haven't I seen him come to visit before? Li Xunhuan? This name seems familiar, but the Li family in Shanxi?"

Butler Lin slightly raised his tone, seeming a little surprised: "It's from Shanxi, but this Li family is not a big family, it's just a farming and studying family. If Mr. Li hadn't been selected by Tanhua back then, how could our family have married with his family? ?”

"When the old lady went, the Li family wanted to pick up the young lady, but we were the first. Later, I heard that the old lady of the Li family was not in good health, and had been sick for many years. We are not close to them, but we meet each other every year. It’s nothing more than exchanging gifts during the New Year’s Eve, this matter has always been taken care of by the eldest lady, it’s normal if you don’t know, but, from your point of view, the Shanxi Li family seems to be very famous?”

Lin Heng smiled and said: "It's not very famous, just happened to have heard of it, after all, it is a century-old heirloom."

Butler Lin replied, "That's true. Although the Li family has not been well-known for a long time, it has a long-lasting heritage. In this regard, it is not much different from our family. When Mrs. Li first married into our family, who did not marvel at her beauty?" Beautiful and talented, after all, it takes a family with a lot of background to cultivate such a girl!"

The smile on the corner of Lin Heng's mouth was faint, and he fiddled with the post playfully: "Since you are a relative, you should accept it. Reply the post for me and invite him to visit the house tomorrow."

"Yes." Lin Butler agreed, and reported some matters during his absence, and then withdrew.

Lin Heng casually placed the post on the table, leaned back, and tapped the wooden armrest lightly with his fingers, Shanxi Li Yuan?In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be a low-key farming and studying family. In the Jianghu, it is a martial arts family that has been passed down for hundreds of years like the Hua family. Who doesn't know?

Speaking of which, Mrs. Li wouldn't be a master of the rivers and lakes back then, right?Tsk, I don't know if my uncle knows that the person next to my pillow is a martial arts chivalrous woman, I should know, it is said that my uncle insisted on marrying Li's daughter back then, it seems that the two have already been in love, but my father Why do you seem to know nothing?

This matter is really interesting, come to think of it, why do these martial arts families always like to send their children to serve as officials?Of the seven sons of the Hua family, four of them are officials in the court. The Li family is a single lineage, and the father and son are two. Well, what else does he not know?Thinking about Brother Xuan's ambiguous attitude when he mentioned the affairs in Jianghu, Lin Heng felt as if he had caught something.

But he quickly put aside this matter, no matter what relationship the court secretly had with these aristocratic families, it had nothing to do with him, and thinking about it was actually meaningless.

When the morning light was fading and the willows were on the moon, Lin Heng practiced his lightness kung fu, and arrived at Tingxue Xiaozhu like a leisurely stroll. When he arrived, Gong Xuanyu was playing the piano, and the sound of the piano was like a clear spring stone. Listen carefully, you can feel it. Seeing the owner's leisurely and happy mood is like a breeze blowing past the ears, making people relax unconsciously.

Lin Heng fell down gently, like a light feather, without making a sound. Although he didn't know the rhythm, he knew how to appreciate the beauty. The sound of the piano was so beautiful that people were intoxicated. He stood quietly in the courtyard, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth meaning.

When the song was over, he opened the door and walked in. Gong Xuanyu was surprised and happy when he came in, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng, it's a coincidence that you came here. I haven't played the piano for a long time, and my skills are a little rusty." , I just practiced my hand, you sit down and listen to me play a few songs for you."

Lin Heng smiled: "I've arrived just now, it sounds good." After finishing speaking, he skillfully sat down in front of the usual seat, picked up a piece of green and clear snack and threw it into his mouth.

Gong Xuanyu's smile deepened, and he said, "You were in the courtyard all the time just now? I said how did you come here by such a coincidence?"

Lin Heng nodded, and said: "I have never heard you play the piano before, and I never thought that your piano skills are so superb."

Gong Xuanyu raised his chin proudly: "Six arts of a gentleman, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I know a little bit." He said it quite self-confidently, obviously very confident in his talent.

A smile flashed in Lin Heng's eyes, and he said, "Is there any happy event today? Why are you in such a good mood?"

Gong Xuanyu clapped his palms and smiled: "Brother Heng knows me, of course there is a happy event today, I can't wait to share it with you."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Although Gong Xuanyu is not in the mood, it is rare for him to show his emotions like this. Even though he would relax a lot when facing Lin Heng, his long-standing habit made him unconsciously cover up his thoughts. At the tip of the brows, every strand of hair seems to say "I'm very happy!".
