[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Last time, I mentioned that Shui Zhan spent 2000 taels to buy a piece of Xiuyu. It is indeed warm and delicate in the palm of the hand. Although it looks small, it is actually very good in appearance.What he said in the store was just because he didn't want the boss to raise the price.Glancing at Lin Ze who was following behind, Shui Zhan snorted, still feeling a little unhappy.

"Third brother, third brother, do you think this piece of jade is worth the price?" As soon as he left the store, Lin Ze couldn't help but asked hastily, and glanced at the "Gu Yuxuan" from time to time, as if he was afraid The boss is like a butcher.

"This value is worth it, but—" After a pause, looking at Lin Ze's wide-open eyes, Shui Zhan pondered for a moment, then pursed his lips and said: "If you are giving it to a man, it is a bit too petty to take it I've made a move." Yin laughed again: "I still have good jade at home, although it is different from this one, it is also very suitable for giving to friends."

Hearing what Shui Zhan said, a big stone finally fell from Lin Ze's heart. He reached out and took the jade back into his hand, and said with a smile, "I didn't give it to my friends. According to the third brother, it's actually the most suitable gift for a girl." That's enough." Because I thought of Daiyu's frail body, wouldn't it be a good thing to wear such a piece of jade to keep her heart warm all the time?I also thought that in the future, when Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, the naughty stone Baoyu made Daiyu feel uneasy, embarrassing, and incompetent. It was disgusting. Now I can get Daiyu a good jade to wear, not in the future. Are you showing off!

Lin Ze thought in his heart, and his face inevitably showed a little bit.He himself laughed heartily, but he didn't know what Shui Zhan beside him was feeling.Seeing Lin Ze's small, jade-carved face full of smiles, Shui Zhan panicked even more.Judging from what he said, could it be possible that he has fallen in love with some girl at such a young age?He also thought that it would be bad for him to have such thoughts at such a young age, and it would be of no benefit to him.He wanted to persuade him very much, but because of his identity, it was difficult to say, so he was very distressed for a while, so he kept silent and followed Lin Ze with a sullen face.

Lin Ze looked at the piece of jade over and over, and felt that it was very thin, with no patterns or lines on it, so what's the point of carrying it around?Yin looked at Shui Zhan again, and said with a smile: "Third brother, you go back first, I have to go back to that shop again."

When Shui Zhan heard the words, he was not willing to agree, so he just said, "I'll go with you." The two went back to the "Gu Yuxuan".

The boss of the "Gu Yuxuan" saw them, and rushed out to greet them. After asking a few words, he knew that Lin Ze wanted to engrave some patterns on the jade, so he also smiled and said, "I have a destiny with the young master." , I just received a blueprint a few days ago, the painting is exquisite and delicate, only the masters in our shop can carve it out. If you go to other places, you won’t be able to carve it out again.”

Lin Ze also became curious, and only asked: "What is the pattern, show me."

He looked at the blueprint for a moment, clapped his palms and smiled and said, "What a clever pattern, it's the most suitable!" It turned out that the bluegrass was drawn on the blueprint, with clouds and mist hovering over it, and the air of immortality floated above it.Isn't this the chimera of Daiyu's previous life, a plant of Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass?What a coincidence!Yin smiled and said: "The boss will ask the master to engrave it according to this, but be careful, don't be too anxious, I will pick it up in a few days."

The three of them discussed again, and decided to come to pick up the jade five days later, Lin Ze naturally fulfilled his big wish, with a smile on his face, extremely contented.But he didn't notice that Shui Zhan's face became more and more gloomy, and his eyes were dark and bottomless, as if hiding great anger.

Chang An followed closely behind the two of them, feeling the warmth of the two masters in front of him, one cold, one happy and the other angry, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead before he knew it.I only slandered in my heart: Little master, please stop smiling so brightly, if you don't look at the master's face, ice will drip out!

I don't know if he felt the sudden drop in the surrounding temperature, or heard what Chang'an was thinking, but Lin Ze stopped in his tracks, and only smiled: "Third brother, look, I forgot to ask, why did you send me to Yangzhou? Are you coming or going?"

Shui Zhan snorted softly, wondering if you just thought of this now?I can't help but feel aggrieved, I have acted so obviously, why is this child not enlightened at all.Looking down and seeing Lin Ze looking at him with a pair of clear eyes, Shui Zhan felt a little embarrassed again, spurned his narrow-mindedness, and then said: "I would like to live in Yangzhou City for a few days, but I suffer from There's no place to stay."

Lin Ze listened, thought for a while, and said very hospitablely: "Then third brother, go back with me. I heard from Mr. Shen that you have also been taught by him. After all, we are also brothers and sisters. Come to think of it, master also I would very much like you to come and stay in the mansion for a few days."

Lin Ze's words were in the middle of his heart, and Shui Zhan didn't want to. Although he pretended to evade a sentence or two, he was afraid that Lin Ze would take it seriously, so he hurriedly took Lin Ze's hand and went to Lin's mansion.Leaving Chang'an alone in place was a little dumbfounded, and he couldn't help thinking: Little master, you forgot that master can stay in the inn!But looking at the chill that the master dissipated all of a sudden, Chang An rubbed his head, it's better not to say this, seeing the two masters are in a good mood.

After entering Lin's mansion, Lin Ze first went to see Lin Ruhai, bowed his head and tied his hands to listen to Lin Ruhai's good explanation, and then made various statements in Weiyang Academy, so I won't go into details here.It is only said that Lin Ruhai listened to Lin Ze's talk, and saw that his behavior was a little different than in the past. After all, he was relieved, so he smiled and said: "I know you must be suffering outside these days. It's just learning about it." If you don’t suffer, you can’t succeed, you have to study hard to live up to Mr. Shen’s teaching.” Seeing Lin Zelian’s claim, he said: “You go to the back, my wife has been looking forward to you for a long time.”

"Son, let's go now." After saying that, he withdrew and went to the backyard.

How about asking Shui Zhan?After Duan saw Lin Ze leave, Lin Ruhai waved back the servant, took Shui Zhan to the study, stepped forward and bowed in person, and only called Shui Zhan "Third Highness" in his mouth.Lin Ze wasn't worried about Shui Zhan. From what he thought, Lin Ruhai liked children who were hardworking and willing to learn. Shen Zhan was much better than him, and it was taught by Mr. Shen. Lin Ruhai looked at Shen Yu's face, It won't drive people out either.

Because he was relieved, he went to Jia Min's yard, and when he entered the house to report, he saw Lu Rou came out with a smile.While smiling, he opened the curtain and said with a smile: "Master is back, I miss you so much." After entering the room, he hurriedly brought some tea for Lin Ze to put on the small table, where the red apricots He also brought a warm hand stove over to warm Lin Ze.

Lin Ze first pushed aside, walked up to Jia Min, lifted his robe, knelt down, and kowtowed, "Is it my son? After going out for a long time, Mrs. Lao is worried about it. It's really unfilial."

After hearing what he said, Jia Min refused to obey.He hurriedly asked Lu Rou to come over and help Lin Ze up, and asked Hong Xing to bring over the things, and only took Lin Ze's hand and sat down on the edge of the Kang. "You child, don't speak such nonsense anymore. You and I are in love with each other, and there are people who say 'the son travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried'. Is it possible that there are still people complaining about this?" Seeing that Lin Ze's brows became more energetic, his facial features Faintly exuding [-] points of delicacy and gentleness, he couldn't help stroking Lin Ze's neck with his hand, and said with a smile: "After all, it's Brother Ze, who has taken good care of himself after being out these days."

"Ma'am, the girl is here."

Jia Min glanced at Lin Ze, then covered her lips with a smile and said, "Look at Yu'er, as soon as she got the letter, she has been looking forward to it for a long time, but you, child, have been walking slowly for so many days, she can't sit still." Stay!" Then she explained to Lurou again, and Lurou went out to help Daiyu in.

Hearing what Jia Min said, Lin Ze could only smile wryly.He was the fastest boater on the road, because he was afraid that Daiyu would be anxious and unable to wait, who would have thought that there would be a heavy rainstorm on the road, which would delay her for several days.Hearing that Daiyu misses him, she can't help feeling distressed, thinking only of him being away from home for so many days, and wondering if Daiyu can take good care of herself.

Just when she was about to speak, she saw that the curtain was opened, and Lurou was helping a beautiful and elegant little girl in. She didn't look at Lin Ze, and went to Jia Min to say hello.When Jia Min asked her to sit on the kang together, he glanced at Lin Ze sideways and said with a smile: "Madam, there are already people sitting here, so where should I sit? It's better to go back to my own room, anyway, here is the place to sit." No one cares about me."

Hearing what Daiyu said, Lin Ze knew that she had been aggrieved, and it was indeed his own fault. Since Daiyu was born, it was the first time he had been away from home for so long.Then she stood up and said with an apologetic smile: "Is my sister annoyed me? Is it my brother's fault? My sister beats me and scolds me, so don't be mad at yourself."

Daiyu turned her face away, and just snorted coldly and said, "Why am I so angry? It's not a big deal." After that, she leaned against Jia Min's side and said coquettishly, "My wife hasn't taught me how to manage things today, has she? You don't want Yu'er now that you have brother Cheng Huan?" As she said that, her eye circles turned red.

Jia Min knew that she was suffering from grievances, so she didn't try to expose it, she just nodded her forehead and said, "Your brother finally came back, and if you are scared away by these words, what will you do?" Wanting to speak, Jia Min hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug her, only smiled and said: "I have nothing else to say, you brothers and sisters finally met, go and talk yourself, don't stay in front of me." , then looked at Lu Rou and Hong Xing again, and only told them to send the uncle and the girl back home in a good manner, but he leaned on the pillow and smiled.

He only said that Lin Ze accompanied Daiyu back to the house, and saw that her expression was a little faint, and thought that perhaps Daiyu was in a bad mood today, so it is inconvenient to bother her, why not just come and talk to her tomorrow for a joke.Thinking of this, he didn't go into Daiyu's room, just stood at the door and said with a smile: "My sister is resting, I will go back first."

After all, he turned his feet and was about to walk towards his own yard. He took a step, but was hugged tightly around his waist.When Lin Ze was surprised, he heard Daiyu weeping behind him with choked voice: "I just came back and said I want to leave, bad brother, I will ignore you again!" Even though he said this, his subordinates hugged him even tighter.
