[Red Mansions] Concubine Counterattack System

Chapter 52 Letter from Jia's House

On the second day, Lin Feiyu got up as usual to greet Mother Lin and went to class in the front yard. After Zhen Shiyin checked her homework, she nodded and said, "Your handwriting is good, you must continue to work hard. Yesterday you asked for leave due to business, and today I will write yesterday's homework." Make up your homework."

Lin Feiyu's face suddenly became bitter, and Lin Daiyu looked at her sympathetically, and then the two of them studied their own homework. The desks were two meters apart. Lin Feiyu read in a low voice, and carefully wrote down the last few paragraphs of the Analects. It is enough to be able to explain the meaning clearly, but the Analects of Confucius has to be quoted word for word when it is said, and it will make a joke if you don't pay attention.

Zhen Shiyin sat on the chair directly opposite them, drinking tea and reading. He was very satisfied with the performance of these two disciples. He is very satisfied with his bright and studious disciple.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhen Shiyin got up and stood beside the two of them, stroking his beard and smiling, "Very good, the second girl's handwriting has improved again, go back today and copy this article again, tomorrow I will have a class. Exam."

Lin Daiyu stood up and smiled, "Yes, sir."

Zhen Shiyin nodded, and asked Lin Feiyu to recite the entire Analects of Confucius. Lin Feiyu stood on the seat and began to recite slowly. To make sure that he remembered correctly, Zhen Shiyin immediately heard this hesitation. He opened his eyes and looked at Lin Feiyu, frowning slightly, waiting for her to finish.

Lin Feiyu was deliberating, when the system suddenly opened the screen, and it was the document she had transcribed before, and the system had turned to the place she was reciting for her.Lin Feiyu took a look at Zhen Shiyin, and recited the sentence according to the system. After the recitation, Zhen Shiyin asked her to go back and memorize it. She will take the school exam tomorrow, and she will be punished if she makes mistakes.

Lin Feiyu lowered her eyes and replied seriously: "Yes, please rest assured, sir, Feiyu must remember it by heart."

After Zhen Shiyin left, the two sisters put on their cloaks and walked slowly towards the Mo Yun Hall. Lin Daiyu raised her face and smiled and said, "It's just lucky that my sister remembered it, otherwise the husband will definitely punish you. The seriousness of the husband is really scary."

"Yeah, so my sister has to study hard, don't be punished by my husband, it will hurt for several days, and copying books is very tiring." Having said that, Lin Feiyu still decided to copy a few more books by herself at night. I hope I can pass it tomorrow.She closed her cloak and looked at Lin Daiyu, "Sister, if you are tired, let Wang Momo carry you away. It's very cold today, and it's good to walk more when the summer is warmer."

"Well, sister, don't worry, I will call mother when I am tired."

When they arrived at Moyun Hall, the two were about to enter the main room to greet Jia Min. Mammy Jia stopped her and said with a smile: "You two girls, the wife is taking a nap, why don't you take a rest in the side hall first?" , use some pastries, and wait for the wife to get up before going in?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Then don't bother mother, my sister and I will go to my room to play first, and then come over to say hello to mother during dinner."

"Yes, this servant will ask someone to deliver the food to the second girl's room."

Lin Feiyu and Lin Daiyu casually ate a few snacks, and Lin Daiyu urged: "Didn't my sister say to draw a plum tree today? Let's draw it now?"

Lin Feiyu smiled and nodded her forehead, and asked Zizhu to prepare paper and ink.After cleaning her hands, she picked up a pen and pondered for a moment, and began to slowly sketch the scenery she saw in Meilin yesterday. Lin Daiyu sat by and watched quietly, and the servants left only two serving maids. Excuse me.

Although Lin Feiyu didn't learn how to paint in her previous life, she has practiced calligraphy and has a high degree of control over the power of the brush. I saw that the brush in her hand was light or heavy, and the colors were vivid. She drew what she wanted in her heart in two quarters of an hour , a few gorgeous red plums and the white snow set off each other, occupying most of the picture scroll, and the rest of the open space is full of shrunken plum trees, making a three-dimensional gap between far and near. At a glance, it can be seen that a plum blossom is in full bloom. woods.

Lin Feiyu checked it, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, she lightly put down her pen and exhaled, "Okay! How about my sister?"

Before the ink was dry, Lin Daiyu didn't stretch out her hand, she just took a step forward and stood by the desk to look, "So Meilin is so beautiful! It's a pity that we don't have one in our house."

"The Qionghua in our mansion is also very beautiful. If you like it, ask mother if you can transplant a plum grove in the mansion, so that we can see it every winter." Lin Feiyu sat at the table and took a sip of tea , moving his wrists lightly, sighing in his heart, he doesn't know when this body will grow up, and his wrists are sore after just drawing for a while.

Lin Daiyu looked at it for a while, then suddenly said: "It's just that although this flower is beautiful, it is different from other flowers in different seasons. Isn't it lonely when it blooms alone in the cold winter?"

Lin Feiyu turned her head to look at her, and saw that her face was purely puzzled and sighed, without any sentimental expression, she felt relieved, and said with a smile: "How can it be lonely? It is because there are no other flowers to compete with it that people are so beautiful. Every winter we have to enjoy plum blossoms, and the fact that this plum blossom can bloom in such a cold winter proves that it is healthy and strong, and it is more lovable than many delicate flowers."

"That's true, I like plum blossoms very much." Lin Daiyu looked at it for a while, and when the ink on the painting was dry, she ordered the servant girl to take it and frame it. Lin Feiyu smiled and stopped, "We sisters are just painting for fun. It’s not a good painting, how can it be framed? Just roll it up and put it in the painting bucket.”

Lin Daiyu came over and said with a smile: "From now on, all the paintings we draw will be framed and kept for collection. When we grow up, we will take them out and read them. It will definitely be interesting."

Lin Feiyu also felt a little interesting when she heard her say that, anyway, the Lin family was not short of the money, so she waved her hand and asked the maid to take the painting back, "In this case, I thought of another idea, why don't we call the painting every year on our birthday?" People draw a picture for us and keep it as a treasure, and when we grow up, we can still see our own appearance when we were young, and our grandmother, father and mother can also draw it as a souvenir.”

Lin Daiyu clapped her hands and laughed, "That's a good idea! Let's talk to my mother later, and she will definitely agree."

"Eldest girl, second girl, the master has already returned home, and the wife has sent the two girls over." Xia He called out from outside the curtain.

Lin Feiyu stood up and said, "Let's go quickly, don't make father and mother wait for a long time."

As soon as they entered the main room, the two heard Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's laughter. After the maid took off their cloaks, the two sisters walked into the inner room holding hands.

"Father, we are here."

"What are father and mother talking about? But what's the good thing?"

When Jia Min saw them, she immediately called them over with a smile, "Sit down and warm up, are you cold?"

Lin Daiyu leaned against her and shook her head, "It's so close, I entered the room before I felt cold, don't worry, mother."

Jia Min smiled and put down the letter in her hand, and said: "It's your grandmother who sent a letter saying that your cousin Lian's aunt is pregnant, and that she may add a great-grandson to the Jia family in the coming year, and Baoyu and Brother Lang, he already knows a lot of characters at a young age, and he can recite poems."

Lin Daiyu asked curiously: "Cousin Baoyu must be stronger than others, right? Doesn't it mean that he comes from an extraordinary background?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "Yu'er, you can't say that."

Jia Min also said: "Where is there any extraordinary background? It's just a saying. You don't understand these things. Mother will teach you slowly. It's just that Baoyu, although smarter than others, is quite naughty by your grandmother. When I was old, I still let the maid hug me every day, I heard that I still prefer Rouge, I like to be close to the maid, and I don’t like young servants, alas, I don’t know what the future will be like.”

Lin Daiyu lost interest as soon as she heard it, "I won't let Nanny Wang hug me anymore."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Our Yu'er is still sensible." After finishing speaking, he looked at Jia Min again, "Don't worry, didn't your mother-in-law say that Lian'er changed his official position? Just know how to make progress, take your time, everything will get better .”

This time it was Lin Feiyu's turn to be curious, "Daddy, what is the official position of Cousin Lian now?"

Lin Ruhai patted his beard and said, "Lian'er is now the head of the Ministry of Rites, and he is the sixth rank. This is really bad. Regardless of rank, he has been promoted."

Lin Feiyu smiled and said, "Great promotion, Cousin Lian looks like he understands a lot, maybe he can become a high-ranking official in the future."

Jia Min shook her head and smiled, "Your cousin Lian didn't like to study homework since he was a child, I just hope he can do his job well and don't get into trouble. By the way, Jingli sent some things with the letter, you guys Come and see."

Lin Feiyu and Lin Daiyu followed her to the table, where there were many opened brocade boxes. Jia Min pointed to them one by one and introduced them, "These are all from your grandmother, including medicinal materials, jewelry, and popular things in Beijing." Cloth, and some special products. This one here is a gift from your uncle, and it’s a set of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum paperweights.”

Lin Ruhai also came over, picked up the paperweight and played with it, "Don't look at the ordinary appearance of this paperweight, it was handed down a hundred years ago, and it is very precious."

Lin Daiyu also took one and stared at it fondly. In a blink of an eye, she saw a long brocade box on the table and asked, "What is this? Is it a scroll?"

Jia Min's smile faded a little, and he opened the brocade box and said, "This is a gift from your second uncle, and he wrote the poem himself."

Lin Ruhai took it and opened it with a smile and said, "Second uncle has a heart."

Jia Min pursed her lips and didn't say anything else. Lin Ruhai also read Jia's mother's letter. It was clear that Jia Amnesty's gift was much more valuable than Jia Zheng's, but Jia's mother complained that Jia Amnesty didn't care at all. He came out with something, unlike Jia Zheng, who spent a whole day making poems suitable for the occasion, and wrote them down with his own hands, which shows the deep love between brothers and sisters.

Jia's mother didn't like Jia She's debauchery at first, but Jia Zheng didn't take the imperial examination, and the sixth-rank official who had been gifted for so many years had no sign of being promoted, so Jia's mother didn't particularly rely on Jia Zheng, and now she has Jia Baoyu is such a darling, but Jia Mu's behavior is more and more inclined to the second wife. Even her daughter who has been married for many years wants to influence her, but she has seen some tricks from afar after so many years. Although Jia She is a dude, he never Without concealing his temperament, Jia Zheng looked like a modest gentleman on the outside, but on the inside he cared more about reputation and status than anyone else. In addition, she and Mrs. Wang had always had grievances, so it was impossible for her to give up her first wife and marry her second wife.

In the letter, Jia's mother praised Jia Baoyu for more than half of the whole letter, and she also vaguely revealed the idea of ​​wanting the two Yu'er to kiss each other. Thinking about this, she felt hot. Jia Min looked at how cute she was. His daughter looked at Lin Ruhai again, annoyed that Mother Jia underestimated Daiyu, how could Daiyu's daughter-in-law marry the second son of a sixth-rank official?Even if Daiyu's premature birth is a little insufficient, it can be rectified slowly, so why do you need to marry like this?Besides, Mrs. Wang has a deep grudge against her. If Daiyu becomes Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law, she will not be tortured to death!

Jia Min thought in her heart that she would tactfully reject Jia's mother when she replied to the letter at night. She felt much better after taking care of her for a few months, and she would always protect Daiyu and choose a husband-in-law for Daiyu.

Seeing her in a daze, Lin Ruhai thought she was homesick, so he patted her hand silently to comfort her.Jia Min laughed, why bother to get angry about this kind of thing?As long as they are all well, the children's marriage cannot be interfered with by the Jia family.
