The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

On the second day, Lin Mingyu got up early, moved her hands and feet in the courtyard, sweated profusely, then went back to her room to take a shower and change clothes, wrung out her hair before coming to Daiyu's courtyard to talk.

Daiyu also got up, and she usually wore a white bottom embroidered with pink cherry blossoms, and a silk skirt with dark lines and dark lines.There is a simple bun on the head, without any hair accessories.There are two small pendants dangling on the small earlobes, which only set off a pink face like pearls and jade, with a soft luster.

Lin Mingyu gave a compliment, and seeing a pot of pink chrysanthemums blooming unevenly on the high table in the room, he went to pick a half-opened one, put it on Daiyu's ear, and smiled: "My sister is in full bloom now, I just want to These just-blooming flowers deserve it. They are elegant and chic."

Lin Daiyu held the chrysanthemum by her temples and looked at it in the bronze mirror. When she saw the flowers reflected on her face, she was more delicate than flowers. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Ming understands these beauty and ugliness now. First of all, you are the most impatient and obstinate about these things." Daughter's stuff."

Lin Mingyu said: "He Zeng just loves to be stubborn, but I think it suits you well. With my elder sister's appearance like a fairy concubine, it's also beautiful to put a leaf on her head. Let's go together to say hello to my father. When the old man sees you, Must like it."

Lin Daiyu was so coaxed by him, and they took him to the main courtyard where Lin Hai lived.

Because Daiyu asked for a leave of absence, the Lord felt sorry for Lin Hai's deep love for his father and daughter, so he simply forgave him and allowed him not to go to court for three days, so Lin Hai was also unemployed for these three days at home.Since the incident of being poisoned that day, Lin Mingyu repeatedly urged Lin Hai to exercise his body every morning. Lin Hai also listened to the persuasion, so he invited Dr. Qi to teach him to practice some boxing and kicking to restore the body, which is more compact than Wu Qin Xi.

When Lin Daiyu's sister and brother arrived, Lin Hai also stopped his fists and kicks, and the courtyard was unified.Lin Mingyu stepped forward and circled around, nodded and said: "Father's body is getting stronger and stronger, and his complexion is also good. It looks like Xiaolin Tanhua, the most talented scholar in the world."

Lin Daiyu smiled sweetly, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, and personally sent it to wipe Lin Hai's face.

Lin Hai nodded gently to his daughter before responding to his brat: "Good boy, dare to make up your old man! What a talented man who is the best in the world, if you tell it, don't make people laugh out loud."

Lin Mingyu said: "Who made the arrangements, I also listened to what others said. I think that when I first arrived in the capital, whoever saw me did not mention Lin Tanhua, who was astounded as a celestial being at first sight. Dad, what do you say? To be honest, wasn’t that how you captivated your mother back then?”

Lin Hai was about to laugh, but when he thought of his beloved wife Jia Min who had passed away, he couldn't help showing nostalgia.In front of him, Fangfo really saw Jia Min for the first time. However, as Lin Mingyu said, it was not when he was named the top three tripods, and the spring breeze was proud of his horse parading through the streets, but...

"Father, Fengliang, you should go and change first." Seeing her father's silence, Lin Daiyu was afraid that he would feel miserable when thinking about her mother, and would add to the melancholy, so she used words to distract her.

Lin Mingyu also blamed herself a little, she shouldn't be joking around, because she agreed: "Exactly, my sister and I haven't eaten yet, we are already hungry."

Lin Hai came back to his senses from the memory, seeing his children's disturbed expressions, his heart warmed up, but he smiled and said, "Since I'm hungry, I have so much to say. But since you want to know, I'd like to let you know. Your mother and I are supposed to be classmates."

The two siblings exchanged surprised glances, and both looked at Lin Ruhai.

As Lin Ruhai walked into the house, he said, "You don't know these things. When I went to Beijing to study, I heard that Mr. Kong Chaobai, a great Confucianist at that time, was giving lectures in Xishan, so I went to learn from him. There are too many apprentices, whether they are the dignitaries of the dynasty or the relatives of the emperor. But the master said that he only accepts 19 students, and I am already No. 20. Later your mother also came to beg. Although she is a She is a female class, but she has extraordinary literary talents and is competitive. She is not convinced that her husband only accepts men and not daughters. She blocks in front of Xishan Academy and only blocks students who come to study. She must be the No. [-] disciple. "

The two siblings were already fascinated by what they heard, and when they saw Lin Hai stop, they couldn't help urging: "Later, did mother's sincerity move Teacher Kong?"

Lin Hai shook his head: "Of course not. Mr. is a great Confucianist in the world, and he has already accepted many sons to study, how can he accept another young lady, and mixing men and women will ruin his reputation."

"Since father and mother say they are classmates, then how did mother get into the academy?" Lin Mingyu has already grasped the key point and hurriedly asked.

Lin Hai smiled and said, "Sir, no, your mother is not of the temperament to let it go. It took a month like this, but another person came. No matter in terms of talent or power, your mother can't compare. Let him become the No. 20 disciple. Your mother has already put down her words, how can she get off the stage. The No. 20 people are not easy to get along with, and they can't stand women competing for fame with men, and ridicule your mother, so your mother is determined to Stay outside the academy and compare who is suitable to be a teacher's student. The teacher is helpless, but he still loves talents, so he made an exception and asked his teacher to accept your mother as a student. In this way, we will be regarded as classmates."

Lin Mingyu clapped his hands and praised: "Mother is mighty! I didn't expect my mother to have such a strong and unyielding side." Jia's family can raise such a daughter who is wanton and flamboyant, which shows how much Jia's mother loves her daughter.I can't blame Mrs. Wang for never liking their siblings. Such a strong sister-in-law, such a mother-in-law who favors her daughter, must not be very happy when she first married.

Daiyu was careful, and asked: "Mother is certainly remarkable, but what happened to the person who met mother, father's junior brother? Did you embarrass mother?"

The smile on Lin Hai's face faded, and his expression was light: "He is a powerful family, so it is good. Your mother and him are just fighting against each other. They are both from aristocratic families. The friendship between brother and sister...you were hungry just now, let the kitchen bring food to eat."

Lin Mingyu glanced at Lin Hai once, this matter is strange, I don't know how that little junior brother offended his father, and it still makes him feel bitter about it.Find a chance to inquire about it.

After dinner, Lin Mingyu went to accompany the guests, while Daiyu talked to Lin Hai herself.Zhou Zhaoqing and Song Wenning are both intelligent and capable people, without Lin Mingyu's instructions, they have already used their time to find their own way and get familiar with everything in the capital.

Lin Mingyu was thinking about talking to his sister and father again, so as to find out about Lin Hai's youth, when Qia Linda came back and said that Li Shan had handed over a name card and came to ask to see him.

Lin Mingyu remembered what he had promised Li Wan yesterday, so he said, "Please meet him in the flower hall."

After Lin Mingyu was done in the flower hall, after a while, Lin Da led Li Shan to see him.Lin Mingyu stood up, and Li Shan cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Lin is well." Lin Mingyu hurriedly supported his arm, gave him a hand, and said, "Brother, why do you need to see others? You are sister-in-law Zhu's elder brother. It was me. It's time to salute you, you are so polite, don't let me down."

As expected, Li Shan was not good at speaking, and just waved his hands: "That's not what I mean, young master, don't say that. Your sister-in-law told me that I, I am a dull person, I can't speak, young master Lin, please don't take offense."

Lin Mingyu invited him to sit with a smile, sat on the opposite seat, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are welcome, you can call me brother Ming or Mingyu. I heard sister-in-law Zhu talk about your matter, and I didn't say anything about it." The question is clear, big brother, please tell me the whole story in detail."

Li Shan saw that Lin Mingyu really did not put on airs and was also kind, so he relaxed more than half. He is not a man of wealth, and because he procrastinated and vaguely explained things from the beginning, there were some unclear points. After Lin Mingyu Reminder, also explained meticulously in a few words.

After talking for a long time, Lin Mingyu stopped him and said, "Brother, don't worry, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."

Li Shan smiled honestly and drank the tea as expected.He is also from an official background, so he still has the proper etiquette. After drinking a cup of tea in a leisurely manner, Fang continued: "...I am really not a material for running a shop. The lady at home is weak, so it is really useless to think about it." I don’t care about a lot. I want to sell the shop, buy some fields, and earn some profit. Only my shopkeepers and buddies lived with the master for most of their lives when the family was in its heyday. Is someone buried in the field? I have no idea, my sister told me about you, so I will give it a try."

Lin Mingyu heard that what he said was sincere, not like a lie, but it was really unexpected that Li's mansion was so down and out.Thinking of what Li Wan said about her dowry earlier, she couldn't care less about it now, she wanted to help, but she also wanted to help her understand.

"I heard from sister-in-law Zhu that when she married Jia's mansion, she paid for the shop and farm as a dowry?"

Li Shan sighed, and there was a trace of resentment on his weak face, but he was helpless to cover it up: "Don't mention the dowry. The noble family of the Duke's family, in my Li family, was originally married. I don't think my family has no luck, the master passed away not long ago, and I have no future, I can't support my sister, and my sister is also struggling in her husband's house."

Sighing again, he said again: "My uncle is a promising man, but his wife is more lenient in his family, and my uncle is filial. Whatever the wife says, I will definitely not say a word. My uncle and the old lady were in front of each other. The servant girl has some affection, and my younger sister has the heart to accept it for him, but the wife doesn't allow it, so she persuades the uncle with words, and sends him to rest in the outer courtyard more often, but he rarely comes to the inner courtyard. The younger sister has the heart, because she wants to be in front of her mother-in-law It's not easy to visit often. When I come and go, I don't know what to do. My uncle is a little bit eccentric, and he only stays with the school boy and classmates. But there is a poor student among the classmates. My uncle often wants to help, and he is afraid that his wife will know. So I begged my younger sister. Within two years, my younger sister's dowry was not much left. Later, my uncle was gone, and my wife blamed my younger sister for not being able to control my uncle. She became more and more indifferent to my younger sister. My younger sister is also in a difficult situation, and I really can't think of a way out. Settle these old people."

"These shouldn't be mentioned anymore, but now my family is really helpless. My family has no other requirements. I just want to find a kind owner for them. To be able to take care of them in their old age is to do a master-servant relationship. Ming Yu , What I said today is absolutely true. I have also brought the body deed, and if you wish, I can hand it over to you right now."

Li Shan begged several times, and when he got to this point, Lin Mingyu believed it.The Li family has a simple population and a simple net worth, so if there is any doubt, you can check it back and find out.The secrets of the Jia family revealed by Li Shan today should not be known to outsiders. Of course, the Jia family has no face, and the Li family did not take advantage of it.Such hard work is not welcome, it can be seen that the in-laws of the Li family and the Jia family have developed a rift.

No wonder Li Wan, as the eldest daughter-in-law, still secretly expressed kindness to herself knowing that she and Mrs. Wang were not getting along that day.

Lin Mingyu said: "Elder brother said so earnestly, so it's hard for me to refuse. I really need someone here, how about this, after two days, elder brother will bring the person to me to have a look, if the person is really good, I will So I stayed. Those who are talented and willing to work faithfully, the Lin family will not miss this meal."

Li Shan thanked you again and again: "... I have troubled Mingyu, my sister knows it, and she will definitely appreciate you. I will let you here with the body deed. If there is something you don't like, it means that they are not good enough. I still take it back, which is fine." There is an explanation."

Lin Mingyu didn't refuse. After all, he was a member of the Li family. Before he knew his character, he needed a handle to restrain him.

Li Shanzi went back to make arrangements, Lin Mingyu went back to the backyard, and was caught by Daiyu, who taught him to draw cartoon patterns and made some small embroidery for the princess.
