[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Lin Ze was hugged by Daiyu, so he could naturally feel Daiyu's soft weeping sound behind him. He felt very distressed, and hurriedly turned around to support Daiyu's shoulders, and only slightly bent down, coaxing with pity on his face: " Good Yu'er, don't cry, you cry so much that my brother's heart hurts." Then, he took Daiyu's cool little hand and held it tightly in his palm, "Yu'er, it's cold outside, don't worry about your thin body. Blowing the wind and catching the cold."

Daiyu's heart warmed up listening to Lin Ze's loving and caring words as before, but she just cried for a while, her eyes hurt and she refused to speak.Seeing that her beautiful eyes were stained with red marks, Lin Ze rubbed them lightly with his fingers, leaned over and hugged Daiyu's petite body, and said softly: "Good Yu'er, don't be angry with brother, cry again Wouldn't it make my brother feel sorry for him to death?"

Daiyu and Lin Ze grew up together, and Lin Ze is two years older than her, and has the most gentle and considerate temperament, thinking about everything about Daiyu on weekdays.Daiyu is not restrained when he is with him, not to mention that Lin Ze doesn't want to restrict her innocent temperament and let her go all the way.Therefore, in front of Lin Ze, whether Daiyu acted coquettishly or laughed, Lin Ze loved her the most.Only this time, Lin Ze went to Beijing for more than a few months, and Daiyu was alone at home, making love in front of her mother in the daytime, and it was okay. When she was alone, she felt more and more lonely in her heart.

Earlier, Lin Ze wrote a letter, saying that he would be back soon. Although Daiyu was not very good in front of people, when she was alone, her eyes were red from crying.I was both happy and worried. The happy thing was that Lin Ze did not break his promise, and he really wanted to come back before her birthday. The worried thing was that when Lin Ze came back this time, Mr. Shen would not be able to go with him.I was worried for a while, and finally hoped that Lin Ze would come back, but no one was there. He went to the market by himself, and only sent the servant girl back to report the news, which made Daiyu feel overwhelmed. , It's extremely uncomfortable!

In the final analysis, it was the youngest daughter's awkward thoughts, and now Lin Ze coaxed her with all kinds of consideration and tenderness, Daiyu's face could not help but blush, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Ze Nai took Dai Yu's hand into the room, and two maids came out to welcome her.Lin Ze only glanced at it. One of them was well-proportioned and docile; the other had a long face and delicate features.Lin Ze knew that this was a newly promoted maidservant, so he didn't open his mouth, only to see a maidservant with nimble hands pouring tea, and serving Daiyu and Lin Ze together. After changing clothes, he retreated to the side.

Lin Zezheng raised his eyebrows and looked at these maids in silence, when he heard Daiyu say: "Xue Yuan, you go out." The serving maid gave a slight bow, and took the other two maids with her and retreated without mentioning it.Lin Ze listened to Daiyu's instructions, and saw that her pretty face was slightly flushed, her brows were much clearer than before, and she raised her hands with dignity, presumably it was the benefit of Jia Min's teaching these days.

"Brother, why are you so dumbfounded? Could it be that the tea here from Yu'er is not delicious?" As he spoke, he pushed the teacup in front of Lin Ze away with his hand, and said, "If that's the case, just don't eat it. My brother has good tea in his room, no wonder he doesn't like mine."

Lin Ze laughed out loud when he saw that Dai Corn's lips were parted and her lips were slightly pouted, still acting like a little girl.Seeing that Daiyu turned away her face and wanted to ignore him, she was afraid that it would be self-defeating, so she hurriedly stopped laughing and just scratched Daiyu's Qiong nose with her hand, "You really have such a clever mouth, don't you only make fun of brother?" Seeing Daiyu's cheek Turning red, she also smiled and said, "I said that you and your wife are learning housekeeping. Although you are young and haven't learned how to do it, after all, you have learned a lot by watching it every day. Now that you come back, how do you act like you? I just came back to my senses for a while, and you are so annoyed?"

When he said that, Daiyu acted coquettishly and refused to obey, and seeing that Lin Ze was smiling and gentle as usual, she felt embarrassed to make trouble with him again.He just smiled and said, "How old am I, so what's the matter? It's just that my brother is back, so I have to follow my advice, at least stay at home for a while. When you're gone, you don't think it's wrong, but you want someone else I'm worried enough." As he said that, the circles of his eyes involuntarily turned red again.

Lin Ze hurriedly comforted her in a gentle voice, but at least Daiyu didn't cry again.Seeing Dai Corn's face smiling and brows relaxed, Lin Ze only thought that no matter what the ending of the Fairy Jiangzhu he knew back then, as long as he was alive one day, he would never ask his sister to repay her kindness with tears!Thinking of this, pity arose in my heart, and I smiled and talked to Daiyu for a long time, until it was getting late, and Xueyuan came in and said: "Where is the lady delivering dinner, send someone to invite the master and the girl." go together."

The two of them went to Jia Min's room for dinner again, but Lin Ruhai had outsiders and it was not easy to invite them into the inner house for dinner, so they ate with Shui Zhan in the study, and asked the servant to pass the message to Jia Min. Min only said, "It should be so."Because Lin Ze finally came back, Jia Min was going to let him talk, but Lu Rou reported that Lin Ze had been kept by Daiyu all afternoon, and looked at Lin Ze's brows showing a bit of fatigue Come on, I couldn't bear it in the end, just said: "Let's ask the uncle to rest for a while, and it's okay to talk about it in two days, but it's all in one day to say it for nothing, which ruined his spirit, and let someone send him back. It's serious." Because Daiyu was also sent back first, she leaned on the kang alone and waited for Lin Ruhai to return to her room.

Lin Ze was indeed very tired, but he just thought of Daiyu first, seeing that she was aggrieved and unhappy, so he suppressed his fatigue and talked to her, at least to comfort her.In the evening, after a meal, he thought that Jia Min would have to keep him, so he managed to be obedient. Who knew that Jia Min pitied him for running around for many days, so he asked someone to send the two of them back first. No.Since I thanked Jia Min once, I sent Daiyu back to her room before returning to my own room.

I slept soundly all night, but I didn't even have a dream, presumably it was because of my exhaustion.

On the second day, Lin Ze woke up early, washed and dressed, and went to Jia Min's courtyard to greet him. Jia Min took Lin Ze's hand and said carefully, seeing that it was time, he said, "Master rested in the courtyard yesterday. In the study, you go to the study to say hello."

Lin Ze was busy, so he resigned from Jia Min and went to the study outside.After passing the mountain promenade, I saw a house with small and unique trees and rocks in front of it, and the clear sounds of flowers, birds, fish and insects. It is the outer study.As soon as Lin Ze approached, a servant came down to meet him, and another servant went to report to the study. When Lin Ze was about to go in to say hello, he heard someone behind him laughing and saying, "It took a long time to leave after so many days." I haven't seen you in the day, brother Lin Xian will come and be safe."

When Lin Ze turned his head to look, seeing that it was him, he just smiled and said, "I don't know when brother Zhiyuan came."

It turned out that the person who came here was Zhiyuan, the son of Gu's parents. I thought that Shen Yu took Lin Ze to Gu's mansion for a visit that day, and asked their children to play elsewhere.At that time, it was Gu Zhiyuan who came to treat the guests, and Lin Ze even drank a glass of water and wine by mistake, letting down the reputation of Gu's mansion for nothing.

Gu Zhiyuan smiled and didn't answer, he just asked: "I haven't asked when you came back, why didn't you tell me." Seeing Lin Ze's rather embarrassed look, he laughed again unconsciously, "I still want to say before, if you want to come back, I will invite you to play in the mansion again, the last time I missed it for nothing."

When Lin Ze heard him mention the last time, he couldn't help thinking of the small portrait he saw in Chang'an, and he was a little reluctant.It's just that Gu Zhiyuan's eyes are clear and gentle, and he can't be more gentle, but he somewhat dislikes himself for being too small-minded.So he said with a smile: "I know that brother Zhiyuan invited me to the house, it must be for other reasons!" Seeing that Gu Zhiyuan was very puzzled, he smiled, "You gave me a jar of Yunwu tea earlier, I really enjoyed it It's good, it's better than the tea we used to eat in the mansion. The taste is light, and it leaves a pleasant aftertaste."

When Gu Zhiyuan heard him mentioning this, he also thought of it, and only laughed for a while, the two chatted and laughed at the door for a while, and then the young man came out to report: "Master invited Uncle and Uncle Gu to come in."

Lin Ze smiled and let Gu Zhiyuan go first, but turned to look at the boy, and asked in a low voice, "Where is Mr. Shen?"

That young man was used to serving Lin Ruhai, and he could be regarded as having watched Lin Ze grow up, so he naturally had a lot of love for him.Listening to Lin Ze's question, he didn't answer. He just said: "Young Master Shen rested late yesterday, but today he came early in the morning. The master was talking with Young Master Shen inside." He smiled again. He said to Lin Ze: "The master asked a lot about the uncle in the capital, I think it was because we didn't enjoy the meeting yesterday."

Lin Ze only nodded with a smile and said, "It's my blessing to bother you, master, but it's also my fault." After following Gu Zhiyuan, he also went into the study.

However, Shui Zhan talked with Lin Ruhai at night by candlelight yesterday, and the two talked very happily.Thinking about it, because of Lin Ze's life experience, Lin Ruhai was inconvenient to tell others, but now that a client came with great difficulty, why didn't he pull him to talk about it.Shui Zhan also really wants to know how Lin Ze lived in the Lin Mansion for the past few years. Although there are letters and letters every year, after all, words are limited and he can't enjoy himself to his heart's content. Carve every bit of Lin Ze's past years into his heart.One of the two wanted to talk, the other wanted to listen, and they even forgot the time when they were talking directly. Thanks to the reminder from the housekeeper Lin Fu, they were able to sleep well.

However, Shui Zhan's good mood for the night was ruined early in the morning.

Looking at the young boy who joined Lin Ze together, Shui Zhan's eyes darkened slightly.Hearing the young man greet Lin Ruhai respectfully and politely, and said that he would invite Lin Ze to the house, Shui Zhan felt furious!He's just the son of a fourth-rank official, so he doesn't deserve to invite his little Jiu'er to play with him over the house.Thinking of this, he turned to look at Lin Ze, and saw that he was smiling and did not refuse aloud. Shui Zhan felt that there was a cavity of anger in his chest, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

Gu Zhiyuan first invited Lin Ze, Lin Ruhai only caressed his beard and said nothing, but Lin Ze said with a smile: "Brother Zhiyuan didn't dare to say goodbye, but I just came back yesterday, wouldn't it be too hasty and rude to go out today "Looking at Gu Zhiyuan again, he said: "What's more, last time I went to Gu's mansion because of my master's reputation, this time I don't have to be a host, just wait a few days for Brother Zhiyuan to come to our mansion It’s only after a short reunion that the gift is paid off.”

Hearing what he said, Gu Zhiyuan knew that he was unwilling to leave the house, so he also smiled and said: "It's because you are kind, thankfully a pot of tea is also thinking about it. Don't say it's a return, you can wait for a few days Come invite me, I will naturally find another jar of good tea to give you."

As Lin Ze and Lin Ruhai laughed, Du Shuizhan had a sullen face, not smiling at all.
