The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Everyone in Jia's mansion was still friendly and affectionate as usual, Lin Mingyu greeted everyone with a smile, and treated everyone with a tender, lively and lively appearance.

After a round of greetings, Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu did not show up. Lin Mingyu asked without any thought: "During such a lively day, Second Aunt and Brother Bao went to celebrate by themselves? I haven't seen Brother Bao for a long time. It's strange. "

Mrs. Xing let out a "puchi" laugh. Seeing everyone looking at her, she quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Brother Ming is really a good and filial child. Your second aunt is ill and recuperating in the yard." .She is quiet, so we don't want to disturb her cleanliness."

Lin Mingyu let out an "oh", dragged out her tone, and then sighed as if she had come to her senses: "Second Aunt is as careful as a hair, and takes care of her heart and mind, so she should take good care of her. It's just Brother Bao, he can Are you ready? I'm at home, and I always look forward to him coming to play."

Mrs. Xing was still waiting to say, but Jia Mu interrupted first: "Your second aunt's younger sister brought her brothers and sisters to visit relatives, and now lives in the house. Your brother Bao is a hospitable person. My aunt is here to play. I should know that you are here now, and I will definitely come to play."

Lin Mingyu sighed with a smile: "Brother Bao's aunt's house, the relationship must be close. Brother Bao is having fun at the moment, and having multiple brothers and sisters is just lively and fun. The second aunt is a sick person. This time I saw her family. It can’t be said that the condition is getting better quickly.”

Jia Mu smiled faintly: "Isn't that so? Nothing else, Aunt Xue's girl, called Baochai, is only one year older than Baoyu, but it's amazing, everything is good. " Then he took Daiyu's hand and stroked it for a while, and said to everyone: "I think it's not far from my jade."

Wang Xifeng hastily interjected: "If you want me to say, Miss Bao is a good one. After all, she is my wife's niece. She has a similar disposition. She is the most forgiving person. However, our sister Lin is the daughter of my aunt, and she is also very generous. There is nothing in it, and I like it very much when I see it.”

As soon as Wang Xifeng finished speaking, Jia's mother laughed "haha", "You are the smartest, but who is not good in your eyes?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and blinked: "If it's not good, it's my second master who sees me. To tell the truth from my ancestors, I have a heart that can't be tolerated by the second master. No, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and there is still a lot of turmoil. I just ran out! I just said, don’t miss me, if you don’t give the old ancestor something good, the old ancestor will not spare him. Guess what he said?”

Wang Xifeng made a fool of herself, and Tanchun joked, "Second sister-in-law, just make up the arrangement, we'll have to confront second brother Lian later."

"Hey, third girl, I visited the wrong temple in the past, so I have to please you first! Tomorrow, I will let your second brother Lian find some fresh and interesting things to flatter you. Today Let me make a good sale in front of my ancestors."

As soon as this was said, it caused a burst of laughter.

Lin Mingyu smiled and watched everyone flattering and scrambling to flatter Jiamu, she found a delicious snack on the plate and ate a bite or two, and when she found something delicious, she sent it to Daiyu to taste.The two sisters and brothers were silent and enjoyed themselves.

The moon cakes were sweet and glutinous, and after eating half of them, Lin Mingyu was so greasy that he couldn't find a handkerchief to wipe his hands.At this time, a clean towel was handed over, accompanied by a gentle female voice: "Brother Ming, use this."

Lin Mingyu was surprised that the person opposite had no malicious intentions, so he steadily stretched out the things in his hands, waiting for him to take them.

"Thank you, sister-in-law Zhu."

Li Wan smiled gently, and after he wiped his hands clean, he took the towel back and asked the girl to change it. "Since you and Sister Lin left the house, I... and my sisters all miss Sister Lin, so we have to come and play with her. Are you guys out there?"

Lin Mingyu smiled and said, "It's pretty good. Please forget about it."

Li Wan wanted to say something, shook his head, thought for a while, and said cautiously: "It's always difficult for you two children to be outside alone. If you don't understand anything, feel free to come to this mansion. Although... Li Wan paused for a moment, then smiled: "I'm just worrying about it, but you and Lan'er are not a few years older, so I'll just treat you as a junior. My natal family has an older brother who is also in the capital recently." If you don't mind Brother Ming, I'd like you to meet him."

Lin Mingyu didn't know what she meant, and didn't want to talk to her, but she saw her beautiful eyes, looking at him tenderly, frankly and sincerely, just like a friend in the previous life.Feeling emotional for a moment, she nodded her head: "Okay. Sister-in-law just set a time and let Brother Li come to find me."

Li Wan laughed immediately after hearing this.She nodded to Lin Mingyu, then turned to talk to Yingchun.Lin Mingyu was puzzled for a while, then put this matter behind her.Because at this moment, Jia Baoyu came.

Jia Baoyu walked in beamingly, wearing an autumn-colored twig-wrapped rattan gown and a sunflower-white jade belt around his waist.Lin Mingyu sized him up carefully, and saw that his pretty face was rosy and pale, and he was really well.There was not even the slightest suspicion in his demeanor, and he was spotted at a glance when he walked in, and after greeting Jia Mu, he came over to hold his hand.

"Brother Ming, why did you move out of the house all of a sudden. I've always wanted to find you to live here, but I'm not in good health. My father urged me to study hard, but it worried me to death."

Lin Mingyu broke free from his hand, took the initiative to pull his sleeves, and praised: "Baoyu, you are wearing a suit of clothes, you really look like a beautiful woman." - I heard that you have guests at your house, you have Companion, how can you still remember me?"

Lin Mingyu pretended to be lonely, and sighed: "Because of a misunderstanding before, I'm afraid I offended my second uncle and aunt. I'm afraid they won't like it. I'm thinking of you, but I dare not come to you."

"Don't like it? Why don't you like it? What happened to you at that time? I was seriously ill, and it took me a few days to get to the ground. Ask Xiren and the others, all of them are like gourds, And don't explain it to me. Good brother, tell me first, and I'll make up your mind with you." Jia Baoyu was very curious, and begged repeatedly.

Lin Mingyu pursed her lips and smiled, she understood in her heart that she had been kept in the dark about this one in front of her, and she was quite confused.He has something in his heart, and he doesn't say it, just talking about other things.

Jia Baoyu was a man without character, so he interrupted him with a few words, and muttered about his cousin.

"Brother Xue is an interesting person. He is also tall and strong. He is not as weak and gentle as you, Brother Ming. However, he is very kind and has a warm and forthright personality. Hearing your name, he begged me for a long time , I just want to get acquainted with you. I haven't seen you for a long time, but today is a good day, so I will do it for you. Let's find him for a drink together. "

Lin Mingyu was surprised, he is a sweet potato today, why does everyone want to get acquainted with him?That's all for the Li family, he really didn't pay attention to who Xue Pan was.but--

"I heard a while ago that there was a troublemaker named Xue Pan on the East Street. He beat a young man from Yuanwailang's family to death in the street and made trouble in the yamen. This Xue Pan could not be your cousin. bro?"

Jia Baoyu's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "So you've heard about this too. This is my cousin Xue Pan, brother Xue, but you're quite confused as a result of what happened."

"You don't know, the beaten Mr. Yuanwai Lang is really not a good guy. He stabbed Xue's horse for no reason. At that time, my aunt and sister Bao were riding in that carriage. They were terribly frightened. Aunt was injured. My sister also hit her head, but fortunately there was no scar, but she lay in bed for seven or eight days, which was very pitiful. Brother Xue is still kind and righteous. After recruiting people, he allocated a few hundred taels of silver for medical expenses. My mother said, at least I have to let him suffer."

Jia Baoyu twittered, aggrieved.At the end, he smiled again: "Okay, let's not talk about these disappointing things, let's go quickly."

Lin Mingyu picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said slowly: "I obeyed my father's words when I came here. Mid-autumn must fulfill his filial piety in front of his grandmother for the old man. How can I leave everyone to drink with others? Drinking time Of course there are, I won't go today, you can give me a present with your cousin."

Jia Baoyu refused, and shouted: "There are so many people here, the old lady, what's the difference between the two of us, and Sister Lin is here too. Sister Bao has also been in love with Sister Lin for a long time, why don't we take Sister Lin along?"

"No, we won't go." Lin Mingyu hurriedly stopped him, and raised his voice: "Today, our siblings are just trying to make grandma happy. Brother Xue and sister Bao are not as big as grandma today. Brother Bao, Your cousin asked you to drink, you have to go yourself, I will come to play with you tomorrow."

Lin Mingyu's voice was so clear that most of the people in the room heard it. Mother Jia was not far away, so she naturally listened too.Seeing their brothers getting together to make out, Jia's mother just thought that Jia Baoyu was trying to persuade Lin Mingyu to move back, and ignored her.At this time, when I heard Jia Baoyu, I was not happy. Seeing that Jia Baoyu was still pestering me, I smiled: "Baoyu, Brother Ming is also a guest today, so don't let him be wronged. Aunt Xue's family is naturally close, and they are willing to talk to Ming. Let's make friends, and we won't stop it, but, on this festival, it's not good to let the children drink too much and hurt their health, and it's not good for the whole family to get together quietly and laugh? You don't want to go either. , come and play with us here."

Jia Baoyu faltered and looked at Lin Mingyu unwillingly. Seeing that Lin Mingyu's small face was pulled down, and he looked unmoved, he rested his thoughts and replied lazily: "Brother Xue, Sister Bao is still waiting." Brother Ming doesn't want to go. Forget it, Sister Lin doesn't want to go. I went back to them, relatives of the whole family, don't be rude. Old ancestor, I'll go first, and I'll have dinner there .” After Jia Baoyu finished speaking, he left in disappointment regardless of other people’s reactions.

The corners of Jiamu's mouth drooped, and she started talking and laughing again after a while. The atmosphere was far less relaxed and enthusiastic than before.

After finally breaking up the banquet, Lin Mingyu was about to say goodbye.Just after leaving the Fushou Hall, an unfamiliar boy stopped him.

"But Uncle Lin? Our Second Master Bao invites you to come. I have something to tell you." The boy saluted with a smile and made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Mingyu glanced at him, turned around and was about to leave: "I won't go."

Unexpectedly, the young servant was very courageous, so he stopped in front of him: "Uncle Lin, Miss Lin is still in the old lady's room, it's not too late, Second Master Bao is waiting impatiently, you go first .”
