[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

For Jia Baoyu, it would be too much to say that he is pure and good-natured, but in Lin Ze's opinion, the word "heartless" should be used to describe him most appropriately.Right now, this is still in the boundary of the Xue family. When the house is full of lights and festoons to marry the bride, even an ignorant person should know what to say and what not to say, right?

But this Jia Baoyu is simply a strange thing, there is no second explanation.

Lin Ze watched coldly, and saw that the dudes exchanged glances with each other tacitly, and immediately the table was filled with laughter.Jia Baoyu's eyes were puzzled, and without waiting for him to ask, the second generation ancestors exchanged glasses and drank another round of wine.Who cares about this hopeless phoenix egg of the declining Duke's Mansion?

Such a situation naturally fell into the eyes of Jia Huan who was sitting in a corner.The young man's face became more and more gloomy, and the hand holding the cup was faintly pale, obviously because of too much force.

While eating fruits and vegetables, Lin Lan never forgot to take care of Jia Huan and Pei Zixiu who were beside him, and repeatedly reminded him: "Hey, I have been studying for so long this afternoon, and I rushed here without even drinking any saliva. Some fruits, also moisten the throat." As he spoke, he reached out and took a red apple in his hand, pulled the cuff and wiped it a few times, and there was a "click", which was so crisp that his teeth fell apart.

Lin Ze's teeth ached for him, so he turned his face away and pretended to look at the scenery.

Being in-laws between the Jia family and the Xue family is a good deal, not to mention that Mrs. Wang valued the Xue family's property very much at the beginning, but she just watched the Xue family's family property improve day by day in the past few years. Among them, Xue Pan Naturally, the credit for this is the first.However, Lin Ze is not the kind of person who waits for a pinhole. He took revenge on Xue Pan's bastard, and it just turned over like a passing cloud. Now, the situation of Xue's family is completely out of Lin Ze's hands. of.

For today's happy event, Mother Jia was sitting on the high couch as an old lord, with a faint smile on her weather-beaten face, but she showed a little tiredness between drinking and drinking.She originally posted a post and wanted to invite Pei's family to join in the fun. Although Daiyu was married, she was her granddaughter after all, not to mention that Daiyu and Sanchun had a good relationship in the Jia family.Tanchun has a happy event, but it makes sense for a cousin to come to congratulate her.

Who would have guessed what kind of family name Pei's mansion had, and would not be able to see Jia's mother's thoughts.The post was accepted politely, but no one came.Not to mention that Daiyu is pregnant now, and the delivery date is not far away, even if she is not pregnant, the whole Pei family is unwilling to associate with unruly families like the Jia family.

Therefore, except for Brother Xiu who was fooled by Lin Lan after Baba went to school, the rest of the Pei family did not show up.It's just that the congratulatory gift has been delivered.It's a pity that Mrs. Jia, who originally wanted to use the Pei family's congratulatory gifts to make a big fuss, was disappointed again. This old general of the Pei family is a fine person, and the congratulatory gifts he gave were quite satisfactory. Come on.However, the weight of this congratulatory gift is quite satisfactory, and there is no sense of intimacy at all.

Mother Jia sighed again in her heart, and from the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang sitting on the right pulling her handkerchief. Although she was talking to the official wife, there was a bit of unhappiness in her eyes.Looking over there, it turned out that Aunt Xue was sitting with Aunt Zhao, they were chatting and laughing softly, with satisfied expressions on their brows and eyes.

Mother Jia understood, and after the official wife who was greeting Mrs. Wang walked away, she whispered something to the mandarin ducks serving behind her.When Mrs. Wang came forward cautiously and sat beside her, Fang said with a straight face, "Since the third girl is very happy today, you, the wife of the main house, please let me know."

Mrs. Wang was already worried, but now seeing Mother Jia's dissatisfaction, she felt very uncomfortable, and there was something on her face.Mother Jia saw it, and couldn't help sneering twice, "If you are really confused, just go back to your in-laws and tell your wife that you are not feeling well. important."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face turned pale immediately.As a concubine's mother, it was an insult in disguise to be humiliated by the old lady on the day the concubine got married.Mrs. Wang tightly pinched the silk handkerchief in her hand, her thoughts turned sharply, and she finally held back the resentment in her heart, lowered her eyes and said: "What is the old lady saying, it's just that I have been too busy these two days, and I am a little tired for a while. It's all right. Besides, today is a good day for Sanya to go out, and I, as a mother, am also happy for her. Not only is she in good health, but even if she is really uncomfortable, I can't embarrass Sanya. "

But Mother Jia ignored her attitude, she just sent her back to her seat, and started talking to the official wife next to her.

Not long after, Xue Pan, who was the groom's official, came out to toast.Lin Ze and the others were supposed to sit at the front, but he was not very close to the Jia family, and even less fond of the Xue family.Therefore, although he was named as a relative, he didn't want to get involved in these matters at all.He just sat at the last table and watched Lin Lan and the others.

After Xue Pan made a toast table by table, when he arrived at Lin Ze's table, his face flushed from drinking, and his eyes could hardly be opened.

"Brother Lin, I offer you a toast!" Xue Pan raised his tongue and drank it in one gulp. Everyone shouted hello, saying that the groom was very generous.

Lin Ze squinted his eyes and smiled, but his hand holding the wine glass moved well.Seeing this, Xue Pan smirked twice, and said in a low voice: "In the past, I was the bastard who offended Brother Lin, please don't blame me, brother."

Lin Ze smiled and said, "The groom is too serious. I never cared about the past, so don't worry about it." After finishing speaking, he took a sip of his wine before sitting down.

Xue Pan felt relieved, and for a while, everyone surrounded him and went forward.

Lin Ze had two sips of wine, and saw that Lin Lan and Pei Zixiu's faces were flushed, only Jia Huan's expression was normal, so he knew that these two boys must have stolen the wine, and his face sank slightly, "You two really have great skills , I think in the future I will never get drunk for a thousand cups."

Lin Lan stuck out her tongue, pulled Lin Ze's cuff with a smile, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't blame us, it's just because I was greedy and ate two mouthfuls just now, and I won't be like this in the future." As he spoke, his eyes blinked Looking at Lin Ze, he looked very pitiful.

Lin Ze wasn't really angry at all, but he just wanted to bluff them, so he turned his eyes away and said, "I don't care about you, go back and be careful with your father."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lan knew that the matter was over, so she approached Pei Zixiu with a smile on her face and said, "This wine is not worth anything. I thought it was delicious, so I won't touch any more in the future."

Pei Zixiu gave him a sideways look, but ignored him.Lin Lan's voice was neither loud nor soft, even though he was facing Pei Zixiu, he didn't know that he was speaking to Lin Ze.

A few boys were talking and joking at the same time, when there was a sudden noise in front of them.Everyone in Lin Ze didn't like to pay attention to these trivial matters, but Lin Lan was young and lively.Seeing the crowds of people in front of him, he couldn't help being curious, so he stood up quickly and craned his neck to look.

"Hey, please be quiet, you don't have to climb like a monkey, it's a joke." Pei Zixiu grabbed Lin Lan's body, which was still climbing, and stared at Lin Lan with perfect eyes. , "Go back carefully and Brother Lin will not spare you."

When Lin Lan heard this, she felt a little embarrassed.Just when he was about to say something, there was a sudden pause in the uproar ahead, followed by a burst of laughter, accompanied by the voices of the female relatives rushing around and shouting, it was really chaotic.

Lin Ze squinted his eyes and saw a few maids staggering towards Mrs. Jia, and Mrs. Wang blushed even more, yelling for someone to invite the imperial physician, and then turned to Aunt Xue and the others. With anxious brows and red eyes, he yelled, and he knew in his heart that something must have happened to that phoenix egg again.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze glanced at Jia Huan and said, "After all, it's your sister's happy event. If you make such a fuss today, it will be unpleasant in the future. You are a serious uncle, so don't go at this time." , when will we go?"

Jia Huan's expression froze, he punched him and went forward.The rest Lin Lan and Pei Zixiu looked at each other, both showing a bit of worry.Lin Ze pursed his lips and smiled, what happened today, no matter how good Tanchun is, he might not be able to talk about the Xuejia Second Mansion in the capital in the future.

Seeing that they couldn't solve it for a while, Lin Ze looked at the sky, and said to Lin Lan and Pei Zixiu, "It's getting late, let's go back first." As he spoke, he stroked his chin twice, and smiled slightly, "I wanted to say goodbye to the master's family, but I'm afraid they will be inseparable at this time. Oh, that's fine, let's talk about it later."

What did Lin Lan and Pei Zixiu not understand? Obviously, Lin Ze didn't plan to stay here any longer.They looked at each other and smiled, very happy in their hearts.Pei Zixiu has become more and more stable in the past few years, so naturally she nodded with a stern face, and was about to leave.But before he could take the step, he was held back by Lin Lan.He bared his teeth and said, "Should we just leave like this, and don't care if Brother Huan succeeds or not? You have no morals, let him know later, don't be sad again."

Lin Ze glanced at him, his clear eyes were slightly raised, with indescribable charm and deep meaning.Lin Lan immediately stood up, straightened her face and said to Pei Zixiu: "Oh, I thought my brother-in-law would be waiting for you to go back. Besides, my sister is pregnant now, and I can't bear to worry about it. Go back quickly and don't disturb me." They're not safe either." While talking, he had already dragged Pei Zixiu out quickly.

Lin Ze squinted his eyes and smiled, he didn't care what happened to the Xue family and the Jia family, would it be spread all over Beijing tomorrow?But Lin Lan is good at watching people's faces and cooking dishes.Lin Ze was slandering in his heart, but his face didn't show at all, he said goodbye to everyone with a smile, and said a few inconvenient words to his master, and then resigned.

Who is not a human being here?The Lin family is now highly valued by the emperor in the court, who would deliberately lose face.What's more, Lin and Jia's two houses have lost contact with each other for a long time, and it has been spread in the capital that the Jia's family has a lack of virtue. Compared with the two sides, Lin Ze, who has been promoted to "upstart in the court", is naturally the object that more people want to get close to. .Therefore, everyone also cupped their hands and smiled, without repeating anything.
