[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

The sky is bright and clear, and the wind is smooth.While making tea for his husband, Lin Ze glanced at him who was resting with his eyes closed.He bent his lips involuntarily, it was extremely rare for Mr. to look so comfortable.Zhanyan looked around, the river was rushing, the sun was shining on the water, and there were little shimmers, it was really beautiful.

"Doing things without paying attention."

When Shen Yu opened his eyes, he saw Lin Ze's eyes narrowed slightly, and his bright red lips were still curled up in a half-smile, a little amused in his heart, he clasped his hand on Lin Ze's forehead, and saw Lin Ze staring at Lin Ze with his black eyes open. With a bit of grievance in his expression, he couldn't help saying: "Don't you still want to act like a baby?"

"Sir always bullies people." Lin Ze said while respectfully picking up the brewed tea, "Sir, please use tea."

"En." Responding lightly, Shen Yu took a sip of tea, only to feel the fragrance on his teeth and cheeks, and raised his brows. This tea is... Seeing Lin Ze standing aside with a smile, he asked with a smile: "What kind of tea is this?" Very good, but where did you get it? I don't know."

"Sir, do you like this tea?" Seeing that Shen Yu didn't speak but just looked at himself and smiled, Lin Ze was quite proud at first, but now he felt a little embarrassed, so he cleared his throat and said, "This is sent by someone from Zhiyuan. He said that he thought the tea tasted good at home, and brought it to me to taste it. I felt the taste was very light after eating, and I thought that my husband always said that the taste of tea is not expensive, so I took this tea with me Come out. How do you feel after eating?"

"It's very good." Shen Yu half-closed his eyes, and took another bite.On the surface, he looked calm and breezy, but in his heart he thought that the boy from the Gu family was very generous, and he also brought the tribute cloud tea to Lin Ze, which was not unusual at all.Glancing at Lin Ze, who was drinking tea with a gentle smile, he sighed in his heart: Seeing this kid drinking tea, I really don’t know much about it, how can I tell the preciousness of this tea.He wanted to tell him about the origin of the tea, but thought of Lin Ze's usual disregard for these things, so he gave up.

He just smiled and said: "The kid from the Gu family treats you well. When I go back, I'll go to his house to sit again and pay back the gift. It's not good to owe favors, you know?" Seeing Lin Ze smilingly nodding, Shen Yu sighed softly, this student seemed to be the most clever, but he was very dull in some things.

For a while, the two were drinking tea on the deck, basking in the sun, occasionally talking about a few paragraphs in the book, and they also had a lot of experience.When Chang An came, he saw one big and one small, they were as satisfied as two cats, their eyes were narrowed, and they almost fell asleep comfortably under the sun.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yu caught a glimpse of Chang An's figure and asked aloud.

Chang'an hurriedly saluted, and then replied: "The boatman said that further ahead is the boundary of Jinling, so I want to ask my husband and uncle if I want to stay in Jinling and leave tomorrow?"

Shen Yu stood up, leaned against the side of the boat and took a look around, and sure enough, he had arrived at the border of Jinling, and seeing Lin Ze still dozing off on the bench, he smiled and said, "You don't need to stay overnight, it's just your first time, Mr. It’s good to have more knowledge and experience when you go far. When you arrive, you can stay first, just get off the boat for a walk, and go to Beijing by water at night.” After calling Lin Ze to get up, he told him carefully: “This Jinling is no better than Yangzhou. There are a lot of rich and powerful people in there, and I'm afraid there are a lot of people doing evil things, you should be careful when you get off the boat, and don't be bullied by others."

Lin Ze wondered: "I'll be with Mr., how can I not be careful, even if someone wants to deceive me, I won't dare to see Mr."

Shen Yu smiled, touched Lin Ze's head, and said: "I am most impatient with these prosperous places, so I don't want to get off the boat. It's the first time you go out, and you can see the prosperity of Jinling. " After that, he said to a little girl who had been standing by the boat: "You have served your uncle to wash and dress, there is no need to rush, you can come back after eating in the city, no matter what time it is, let's take a stroll first .”

The girl came over to bless her body, and when she looked up, who did you know, it turned out to be the licorice that Mammy Lai had specially asked to serve by her side.Although she is young, she is very methodical, articulate and smooth-tempered. Ever since she was subdued by Lin Ze, she has been devoted to Lin Ze's use.The last time Lin Ze sent Bai Ji away, there were only three maids left in the room. Later, Lin Ze went to Jia Min to reply, saying that he didn't want to take the maid out. Outside, even though Mr. Shen is watching over me, I am still worried, but if you refuse to take someone out, I will not let you go."

After doing this, Lin Ze let the licorice accompany him, but Jia Min refused at first. It can be seen that the licorice behaves very well and has no other thoughts, so he is willing to rest assured.He only confessed that "Although the food and clothing expenses along the way are cheaper than when you were not at home, you can't suffer yourself. If this little girl serves well, she will be promoted to a first-class maid without mentioning it; if she wants to serve poorly, Come back carefully and peel off your skin."

Lin Ze hurriedly said: "My wife is a twin now, so don't worry about me. Otherwise, I really don't feel relieved when I travel far away." Jia Min felt relieved for a moment, and the mother and son said something again The parties agreed on the matter.

Licorice accompanied all the way, and sure enough everything was taken care of properly.Seeing that she was as meticulous as Bai Guo in her work, Lin Ze thought that he didn't want to bring a maid with him before, and only thought that Chang'an and Changning would be enough, but now it seems that he is boasting.

Licorice served Lin Ze wearing a Buddha-head blue brocade jacket with scattered flowers, and an alizarin green cloak on the outside, with a circle of silver-white fur around the neckline, which made Lin Ze's whole face even more pink and jade-carved. , looks amiable.Lin Ze kicked his buckskin boots, it was warm, and the licorice must have been smoked on the smoker cage.Then he said with a smile: "You do things very quickly. When you go back to the mansion and tell your wife that you are promoted to a first class, you have to act like this."

Licorice also laughed when she heard this, "Master is making fun of me again. Sister Baiguo, Sister Baishao, and Sister Baishu who are beside you are not the best ones. I'm the one to come. Could it be that I can still surpass you?" They can’t go.” He pursed his lips and smiled again: “I only do things according to the rules, and the uncle only rewards me with a couple of delicious and fun things, that’s all. Others, what’s mine, will come by itself; no It’s mine, but I don’t even think about it.”

Lin Ze smiled and went out.I thought to myself, this girl is indeed a good one, she is articulate, even if she doesn't work by her side in the future, it would be great for Daiyu.In this way, Daiyu will not be afraid of being bullied.

For a while, Lin Ze got off the boat with two servants and took a stroll around Jinling City.Seeing some novelty and exquisite gadgets on the stall, he stopped and asked Chang Ning to pay for them. If there were any delicious ones, he would also buy a few copies and wrap them up to bring them back to the boat so that his husband could try them too.He strolled happily, never paying attention to passers-by.But they didn't know that when others saw that he was well-behaved and his every move was elegant, they couldn't look away for a long time.

Among them was a man named Xue Pan, who was born in an imperial merchant and was one of the most famous cockfighting lackeys in Jinling City.Today, I was having a fight with three or five wine and meat friends on the street. When I saw Lin Ze, I couldn't help but my eyes lit up. I just sighed whose young master this is. He looks so good. Although he is young, he can predict his future. Peugeot.I couldn't help itching in my heart, thinking, if I ask me to take this young master home and raise him for three to five years, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat it?Seeing Lin Ze walking and shopping, he followed behind.Someone saw him by the side of the road. Although he wanted to remind Lin Ze, he was frightened by Xue Pan's usual behavior and dared not speak up.

Xue Pan followed all the way, and saw that Lin Ze was only followed by two thin and thin young men, one of whom was born thin and small, and had been paying for goods, and the other, although tall, was not necessarily strong.Feeling more successful, seeing that Lin Ze was about to go to the alley to the south, he winked at the few people around him.The servants beside him were used to doing these things, and now seeing Xue Pan's eyes were not clear, they all looked at each other and smiled, and eagerly walked around from another alley to block it.

Here, Lin Ze saw that Chang Ning had more and more things at hand, and seeing that it was still early, he said: "Go back to the boat and put down your things first, and don't look for me when you turn around, I will go back after a little stroll. "

Chang Ning took the order to go back, but Chang An still followed Lin Ze.Seeing this scene from a distance, Xue Pan couldn't help grinning, isn't it God's beauty, such a beautiful little beauty, it's most serious to wait for your brother to take you back home to cherish her.Thinking of this, my lower abdomen tightened, and I hurriedly followed Lin Ze a few steps, and took advantage of the trend to go to the alley to the south.

As soon as Lin Zecai entered the South Alley, he had a bad premonition in his heart.Just as he was about to speak, he saw a figure suddenly rushing from the slanting stab, he hurriedly backed away, and Chang An also moved very quickly to block Lin Ze and shouted: "Who is so reckless!"

The man smiled "hehe", "I'm here to invite this young master to visit the mansion, good brother, don't get in the way." As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand to grab Lin Ze.Chang'an didn't want to, he immediately kicked the man far away, calling out mournfully. "My good brother kicked my chest to pieces, but is he going to take my life?" Seeing that Chang An didn't move, he rolled around like a skinny rogue, "I'm going to kill me, I'm going to die."

Lin Ze frowned, and was about to speak, when he saw a few more people rushing out of the alley, pointing at Chang'an angrily, and said, "Where do you come from, and you want to take this brother's life in broad daylight?" Seeing Lin Ze who was guarding behind Chang An again, he snorted coldly and said, "See, you are not from Jinling, but why did you come to deceive us. I want to distinguish with you." As he was about to pull Lin Ze, Chang An stretched out his hand He wanted to push, but the man glared angrily, "I only talk to your master, and I won't let you go."

Changan had no idea in mind, so he had to ask Lin Ze what he meant when he turned around.Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Lin Ze's eyes suddenly wide open. Before Chang An could ask, he heard a "bang--", a sticky liquid flowed out from the corner of his forehead, and the eyeballs suddenly fell to the ground in a daze. .
