[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Lin Ze heard the word "Second Master Lian", and thought that it must be the flamboyant Jia Lian.Thinking of Jia Lian's temper, Lin Ze snorted coldly, and when he looked back, seeing Daiyu's brows were full of weariness, Lin Lan puffed up his face with an unhappy look, and smiled, "It's late at night, so I won't be so tired. We're going to meet the guests, so my sister can take a rest, I'll take Lan'er and leave now."

Daiyu nodded when she heard this, and said: "At least take your time on the road, don't fall."

Lin Ze said goodbye to Daiyu, took Lin Lan's little hand and went to Lin Lan's room.Along the way, Lin Lan was next to Lin Ze, blinking her small black eyes, her face was changing, she just pouted and didn't speak.Lin Ze looked down at him, only pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't speak.

When they arrived at Lin Lan's room, two servant girls serving Lin Lan came over to take off their cloaks for Lin Ze and Lin Lan.These two maidservants are already twelve or thirteen years old, and they are also honest and dull. They serve Lin Lan with all their heart and do not dare to slack off.Qingmei came over and put the stove into Lin Lan's arms, and said with a smile: "Second Lord, please warm up your body. After walking outside for so long, don't freeze again."

Lin Ze just laughed, and said, "Sister Qingmei loves Lan'er more than me."

"My lord's words will kill me unjustly." Qingmei smiled, and made a cup of tea herself, and served Lin Ze to take a sip.Turning around, he said, "Let me go out and have a look, how long will the uncle be with the second master?"

Before Lin Ze could speak, Lin Lan jumped off the kang, only grabbed Lin Ze's cuff and said to Qing Mei: "Sister Qing Mei, go slowly, I want my brother to talk with me, it will take a long time."

Qingmei smiled and left, leaving Lin Ze with her lips curled up, watching Lin Lan's face wrinkled into a little bun, and laughed out loud. "What is Lan'er going to say when you stay with me?"

"Brother..." Coquettishly dragging Lin Ze back to sit on the kang, Lin Lan curled up and buried herself in Lin Ze's arms, her black eyes blinking, she was indescribably cute. "Brother, I'm a little sad."

"Huh?" I thought about what Lin Lan would say, but I didn't expect that Lin Lan's first sentence would be this.Lin Ze lowered his head, looked at the top of the child's hair, reached out and rubbed it lightly, and sighed, "Does Lan'er miss his wife?"

"Ah."

With a low reply, Lin Lan hugged Lin Ze's arm even tighter.There was no one in the room, only a few crackling sounds from the warm smoke cage.Lin Lan leaned against Lin Ze's side, lying in Lin Ze's arms, Lin Ze's steady heartbeat was heard by his ears, and Lin Lan's eyes were slightly wet.

Lin Ze hugged Lin Lan's chubby body tightly. Compared with the thin body before, in the past six months, Lin Lan finally regained his fat appearance again.Lin Ze, who was very satisfied with his hand feeling, squinted his eyes, and his voice was as gentle as ever, "Lan'er, although the wife has left, the master is still there. You still have your sister and brother."

"Ok!"

Blinking away the moisture in her eyes, Lin Lan raised her head to look at Lin Ze, and seeing Lin Ze looking at her with a smile on her lips, she opened her big black eyes and said loudly: "Yes, I still have my master, and my sister, and I still have my sister. There is a brother!"

Lin Ze's trust and dependence in Lin Lan's eyes are very useful, yes, he is an elder brother.Touching Lin Lan's warm cheek, Lin Ze smiled, "Go to sleep, brother is here with you."

"Well, brother, wait for Lan'er to fall asleep before leaving." Before falling asleep, Lin Lan said this again uneasy, and clenched the little hand holding Lin Ze's cuff vigorously.

"Silly boy." Lin Ze smiled softly as he leaned over to tuck the corner of the quilt for Lin Lan.When Qingmei came to pick him up, she only gently pulled her sleeve out of Lin Lan's hand, without disturbing Lin Lan's dream.

For the sake of Lan'er and Yu'er, he would not allow the Jia family to bully the Lin family.

On the second day, Lin Ze met the legendary Second Master Lian.But seeing that he is tall and tall, with peach blossom eyes, eyebrows drawn into the temples, handsome and romantic, he really has a good skin.Lin Ze immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Second Cousin Lian."

Jia Lian also looked at Lin Ze secretly, and saw that Lin Ze had a beautiful and dignified appearance, gentle brows and eyes, a pair of clear eyes that were gentle and tight, and a faint smile on his lips was actually very friendly. He told the old lady that the eldest son of the Lin family was adopted, and he might not be able to stand on the stage. Who would have thought that seeing him today would be so good.Hearing Lin Ze come over to say hello, he also smiled and said, "Cousin Lin is too polite."

Seeing that the two of them had recognized each other, Lin Ruhai also said, "Lian'er, your aunt just left, and the house is in a hurry, so don't take it to heart if you are careless." Then he said to Lin Ze: "Since Your Lian's second cousin is here, so you need someone to accompany you, so you can find a capable servant to serve as your Lian's second cousin."

After Lin Ze heard this, he smiled and said, "It's not necessary, Zuo, but now that my son is free, let's take on this responsibility." After finishing speaking, he looked at Jia Lian and said with a smile, "Just don't dislike Lian's second cousin."

Because Jia Lian laughed, the two gave in to each other again, and Lin Ruhai had something to do here, so they all quit, but when Lin Ze was about to leave, he saw Lin Ruhai's eyes seemed worried, and he knew why, and only wanted to meet again at night. Just distinguish.So he walked out of the study side by side with Jia Lian, and Jia Lian heard him say to the boy next to him, "Is Lian's second cousin's residence ready?"

The young man replied respectfully: "It has been arranged, it is Hongmeiyuan."

Jia Lian looked sideways and saw that the boy was handsome and tall. Although he was not too old, he looked very useful.When he was looking at the young man, he heard Lin Ze groan again, saying: "Hongmeiyuan is not good, why not arrange it in Tingxue Pavilion." Then he turned his head to look at Jia Lian, and said with a smile: " Lian's second cousin, Tingxue Pavilion is a big place, and the scenery is also good. The plum blossoms in Meixiang Garden have not been taken care of because of many things this year, so they are not beautiful. But Tingxue Pavilion, now the snow is falling on the corridor of Bitan It's very beautiful." He said: "In my humble opinion, Lian's second cousin came to Yangzhou for the first time, and he had to go out to have a look. I heard that Xuege is next to the back door, so it is convenient to come and go."

Hearing what he said, Jia Lian never refused, and thought that although Cousin Lin was young, he was very considerate in everything, so Yin also laughed, and said, "Cousin Lin is very thoughtful."

Lin Ze pursed his lips and smiled, and personally sent Jia Lian to Tingxue Pavilion, saying some words along the way to relieve his fatigue.After arriving at Tingxue Pavilion, when Jia Lian saw it, it was indeed as Lin Ze said, this place is very spacious, with plum blossoms and snow falling all over the ground, and the red makeup in the snow is probably like this.Seeing that the pavilions and pavilions are connected together, the most majestic and imposing, I am naturally satisfied.

"Second Cousin Lian, I heard that you came in a hurry and didn't have a good rest. It just so happens that this place is tidy. Why don't you rest for a few days before talking about it."

What he said was reasonable, Jia Lian responded with a smile, and took his servant to clean up and rest without mentioning it.But there is one thing, Lin Zeyin said, although he was with him on weekdays, he couldn't be with him all the time. It would be better if he gave up a servant to Jia Lian.When Jia Lian wanted to ask what it was, he saw that it was the one who answered before.

Do you know who that boy is?It turned out to be Chang'an.In the past few years, he has studied martial arts hard, and his stature has grown a lot, because he looks so handsome and calm.

Jia Lian was naturally delighted to see that it was this young servant, and after asking his name, he thanked Lin Ze.Lin Ze also humbly said with a smile that there is no need, and only asked Chang'an Haosheng to serve Jia Lian without saying a word.

In the evening, Lin Ruhai arranged a meal and invited Jia Lian to come over for dinner. After the meal was over, Lin Ruhai said that he was busy with work, so he had to ask Jia Lian to go back to rest for a few days.Jia Lian came to Yangzhou in a hurry, and he was very tired. He heard that Uncle Lin and Cousin Lin wanted him to rest for a few days, so there was no way he would refuse.Even though he still remembered what the old lady told him, he had to make himself comfortable first, so he went back without any excuses.

However, Lin Ruhai took Lin Ze to the study and sent the servants to watch outside. Lin Ruhai sat down and took a sip of tea, then looked at Lin Ze who was sitting on the chair and said, "What do you think?"

Lin Ze raised his head and said with a smile, "What did the master say, I just accompany the guests."

Lin Ruhai said: "I thought, I just sent a servant to accompany me. Why do I need you to accompany me?" Then I thought that although Jia Lian was handsome, there was always something uncomfortable about his eyebrows and eyes. Playboy habits, although children of such rich and noble families often have them, but Lin Ruhai doesn't want his own children to be infected too.So he frowned and said, "If you go and accompany me, you will have to suffer again, and what's more, if..."

What if?Lin Ruhai paused, he couldn't say that it would be bad if he failed his studies.

Lin Ze knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and when he heard Lin Ruhai's words, he laughed and said, "Master is too worried, I just don't want him to offend his younger siblings." Just meddle in the Lin family's housework.I still feel more at ease looking at it myself, and one more thing, Lin Ze said with a smile: "Master, just rest assured, now I arrange people to live in Tingxue Pavilion, and I won't go to the inner house."

Listen to Xuege?

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and asked strangely, "Didn't it be arranged in Hongmei Garden earlier?"

Lin Ze smiled and said, "The Hongmei Garden is too close to the inner house. If you accidentally go wrong, you will collide with each other. Besides, the wife just left, and the female relatives in the back house should avoid outsiders. It's not good to see it. Besides, Tingxue Pavilion is right next to the back door, so it's very cheap to come in and go out. Second Cousin Lian may have something to do when he comes to Yangzhou, isn't it also for his convenience?"

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "It's true." Seeing that Lin Ze's smile deepened, something suddenly occurred to his mind, so he asked with a smile, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

"Why did you say anything else, and the master asked me like this again?"

"Looking at your appearance, I feel that your words are not telling the truth. Tell me, is there something else?"

Lin Ze pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I heard that Lian's second cousin likes it the most... Well, the rich and prosperous place, I thought, when he came to Yangzhou, why wouldn't he go out for a stroll. Therefore, I asked Chang An to order him, and if there is anything, can we know it too?"

Hearing what he said, Lin Ruhai didn't know anything.In the past, I heard Jia Min mention that Jia Lian has the most romantic temperament. I'm afraid it's not easy to worry about coming to Yangzhou this time.Seeing Lin Ze's arrangement like this, he praised Lin Ze in his heart, and let Lin Ze go, but repeatedly said: "And remember, you must not fail in learning." Because of Lin Ze's temperament, It's good to talk about it.

Lin Ze responded with a smile, without mentioning it.It was only at Jia Lian's place that he stopped for a day, and he was refreshed the next day. As Lin Ze expected, he went out through the back door.It's just where it went, but it needs to be explained below.
