[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

After asking the reason clearly, Qin Keqing made fun of Baoyu a few words, then asked someone to clean up the bed, and took Jia Baoyu and others back to the banquet.

It was getting late at this time, and after everyone arrived, Jia Min, mother and daughter wanted to go home for dinner, so they got up and said goodbye.

Mother Jia didn't stay any longer, and raised her hand to let people go.

After returning home, Jia Min asked, "Little Qilin, why did you suddenly ask Liang Xia to ask for a talisman? But what happened in Ningguo Mansion?"

She always felt that what happened today was a bit weird, but she didn't understand it. Lin Liu's unexpected behavior seemed to inspire her, and Jia Min suddenly had a guess.

Lin Liu didn't say much, and turned around to ask Liang Xia to give her the two talismans.

She took out her own one again, and put it on the table: "Look, mother, how are the talismans today different from the ones I gave you before?"

Jia Min didn't take out the talisman for a long time, and for a while, he really didn't see any difference.

On the other hand, Daiyu next to her has a good memory, and she can see something wrong at a glance: "I remember that my talisman had some beautiful silver light on it before my sister took it away, but now it's gone. The ink is lifeless, and it looks a little not too good."

Lin Liu rubbed Daiyu's hair with a smile: "Yu'er really observed carefully. This talisman did have some silver light before, but it is indeed gone now."

Jia Min instantly understood.

It's just about the matter of gods and ghosts, and she can't ask too much, so she can only hold it in her heart.

Seeing Lin Liu, she told Jia Min what had happened in Rongguo Mansion with a smile, and then said, "This talisman not only saved me once, but also Baoyu. It's just that when my daughter handed the talisman to Nanny Li, many People saw that the Rongguo Mansion will probably ask about this matter later, and then I can only ask my mother to help me solve this matter, so as not to make them think too much."

When Jia Min heard that the talisman was so useful, he was naturally relieved.

But soon, she realized that the talisman had been used and could no longer protect Lin Liu, and she frowned again: "If the talisman is so useful, you shouldn't have given it to Baoyu at that time."

If there were extra talismans, Jia Min would not say that, but each of the Lin family only had one talisman, and it was gone when it was used up. When she thought that Jia Baoyu used two talismans, she naturally felt reluctant.

The safety of others is naturally inferior to Lin Liu in Jia Min's heart.

Lin Liu hugged Jia Min's arm with a smile, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother. Although I don't have this thing, someone will definitely bring it to me tonight. Since I agreed to borrow the talisman with my mother and sister , of course it has to be paid back.”

Only then did Jia Min feel at ease: "Since that's the case, I'll find a time to explain to my mother, saying that you accidentally obtained some talismans in Jiangnan before, and give each of us one. Baoyu."

There are a lot of ghosts and ghosts in this world, and it's not like the old lady doesn't know about them.As long as you give me a reason, no matter whether it is true or not, the old lady will not ask again.

The matter of gods and ghosts is still taboo for ordinary people after all.

After Lin Liu and his family had dinner, they went straight back to their room. After washing up, they kicked out all the maids and women, and waited for a monk to arrive.

The two of them had deliberately approached her about Qin Keqing's affairs in the future, but now that it was all about Jia Baoyu, how could they not come?

Lin Liu didn't wait long, the moment she realized that all the sounds around her had disappeared, she knew that the monk had already arrived.

She stepped forward and opened the window directly.

The lame Taoist smiled cheerfully: "I didn't expect Miss Lin and us to have a tacit understanding. Before I had time to knock on the window, you expected us to come and opened the window."

Lin Liu rolled his eyes at them, and went straight to his right hand: "Today I was almost pulled into the illusory realm, and it was because of me that Jia Baoyu was able to escape being invaded by demons. Not to mention, the three talismans I abolished , Should the Taoist make it up for me?"

The lame Taoist laughed loudly, and immediately took out a stack of talismans from the bag: "I was stingy before, but today, if the girl hadn't acted accordingly, Baoyu might only end up being invaded by evil spirits and dying from medicine and stones."

Lin Liu took the talisman, and then talked about what happened during the day: "I smelled a sweet fragrance in Qin Keqing's room. I didn't feel sleepy at first, but then I became drowsy. After I fell asleep, I was caught by a A woman with the same figure as Qin Keqing led her to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and met a fairy girl who sang and sang, but before she had time to meet, the fairy suddenly held her chest and yelled, the talisman on my body also yelled. It started getting hot and woke me up straight away."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at a monk and said, "Before you said that Qin Keqing has a special status because he is one of the twelve beauties, and he cannot be lost. I didn't realize it before, but now that I think about it, Qin Keqing is not the only one of the twelve beauties. A few of you didn't see you helping..."

Not to mention other things, Miaoyu, who is far away in Gusu, is waiting to be rescued?She has already become a monk, and she is only leading the way to practice. If this monk goes to transform this person away, how can Miaoyu's master not agree?

The monks looked at each other, and the scarlet-headed monk said: "I never thought that the benefactor is so sensitive. We care about Qin Keqing not because of her status as the twelve beauties, but because she is the only younger sister of Jing Huan. Not bad, if Jing Huan wants to do something shady, most of them will ask this younger sister to do it."

"We only found out not long ago that Qin Keqing will go down to the world this time, and Jing Huan arranged such an experience. It is precisely because she saw something wrong with Jing Huan before she went down to the world, and she had a big fight with Jing Huan. I don’t want to follow her wishes to deal with Tongling Baoyu.”

The scarlet-headed monk finished speaking and smiled, "Thanks to the reminder from the benefactor, we went to Qin Keqing a few days ago to persuade her to become a monk. She seems to be alone and helpless in Ningguo Mansion, and the means of avoiding Jia Zhen are already somewhat stretched. The proposal of the two has already moved a little bit."

Lin Liu was stunned: "She really wants to become a monk?"

The lame Taoist glanced at Lin Liu's expression and guessed that she just said it casually last time, so he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "For Qin Keqing, becoming a monk may make her happier than staying in Ningguo Mansion."

Although it was just evasion, not really seeing through the world of mortals, but for the monks, as long as they can take Qin Keqing away, it is already a great achievement.

After finishing speaking, the two saluted Lin Liu respectfully.

Lin Liu was taken aback: "What are the two masters doing? Why don't you get up quickly."

If it wasn't for a window, she would have helped him up herself.

She is a master of Taoism, wouldn't saluting her shorten her life?

After getting up, the lame Taoist smiled and said: "Thanks to the girl, Baoyu was able to avoid the murderous hands this time. It was the mistake of the two of us when he went down to earth this time. If there was a mistake, the cultivation base of the two of us would be ruined." Once Miss Lin saves the two of us, we will be grateful."

Lin Liu didn't expect that Jia Baoyu was so important to the monks and the monks, and it would involve their cultivation, so he was a little dumbfounded for a while.

But thinking that the psychic jade is the only piece of sky-repairing stone left after Nuwa repaired the sky, it has great merit, and the way of practice is mainly to accumulate merit. A monk would care about the psychic jade so much, but it is actually normal.

So no more words.

The three of them stood in front of the window, said a few more words, and left Lin's house together with the monk. Lin Liu returned to the bed with the talisman, and then fell asleep peacefully.

After this incident, Jia Min found an opportunity to go to Rongguo Mansion again, asked about what happened that day, and mentioned the talisman that Lin Liu gave to Jia Baoyu that day.

Lin Liu and Jia Min were so serious about the matter, and they were worried that the people around Jia Baoyu would tell the old lady about it, but they never thought that the people around Jia Baoyu, apart from being a little anxious that day, saw that Jia Baoyu ate and drank well later, and there was nothing wrong with it. It's not right, he just completely forgot about Lin Liu's giving of the talisman, no one mentioned it at all.

It was only when Jia Min mentioned it that the old lady knew what had happened.

The old lady's face was not obvious at the time, but she turned her head and straightened up the people around Jia Baoyu, especially Jia Baoyu's nanny Li Shi and the four big maids who were guarding the bed that day, all had a meal and hung up. fall.

Because of this incident, the old lady investigated Baoyu's yard up and down, originally just thinking whether these careless servants might still neglect Baoyu in other places.

Who would have thought that this investigation did not find out other things, but instead brought out the matter of Baoyu and Xiren's first test of privacy——

In Qin Keqing's yard that day, Jia Baoyu did escape, but he had already reached puberty, and the second growth of his body naturally followed.This nocturnal emission did not happen in Qin Keqing's room, but it also happened in Jia Baoyu's own yard.

It just so happened that Xiren was the most useful person around Jia Baoyu.

Making the bed was the job of an attacker, Jia Baoyu just got up, she stepped forward to dress him, and naturally found out about it.

She is older than Baoyu, and she has gradually become familiar with human affairs, and she has the idea of ​​climbing up, so she naturally seizes the opportunity to accomplish something beautiful with Baoyu.

Although this matter was done in secret, Jia Baoyu was obsessed with human affairs for the first time, and every time he seized the opportunity, he would always drag Xiren to pester him.So he left one or two, and the women and mothers outside didn't say anything, and the big maids in this room naturally knew about it.

This time Mother Jia made a detailed investigation, and this matter naturally came out.

Jia Baoyu is only 12 years old this year.

The four women of Jia Mu are very knowledgeable, and they know that the relationship between men and women is the most detrimental to women, but this is when both men and women have grown up.How old is Jia Baoyu now?How can his body not be damaged if he has mastered personnel affairs at such a young age and lost his energy?

But this attacker was arranged by Jia Mu herself by Baoyu's side.

Jia Mu was so angry that she was about to send the attacker out on the spot.

The attacker begged bitterly, but Baoyu couldn't help it, so he had to find someone to call Mrs. Wang over.

Mrs. Wang is naturally also angry, but now she has another precious son to rely on, and her desire to control Baoyu is not as strong as in the book: "Why should mother get angry? It's just a maid, and there is no need to mobilize the teacher like this."

Mother Jia raised her eyelids lightly, and looked at Mrs. Wang with indifference.

Mrs. Wang was taken aback, remembering that Baoyu begged her this time, if she succeeded in keeping Xiren behind, wouldn't the relationship between mother and son be repaired?

Baoyu was raised in Jia's mother's house when she was a child, and her relationship with Mrs. Wang, the mother, was unfamiliar, which made her dissatisfied long ago.

So he continued: "Although this Xiren is shameless, it is not without some benefits. At least she is the only one in Baoyu's room who is willing to persuade Baoyu to study. This alone is incomparable to other maids. Why don't mother She stayed, presumably after this incident, she dared not tease Baoyu anymore."

Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang, didn't answer, and turned to Baoyu: "Do you want to keep the attacker?"

When Baoyu met Jia Mu's eyes, he was actually a little scared, and subconsciously wanted to back down.

But Xiren was his first woman, so she held a different position in his heart, so he nodded bravely.

However, that's all.

Facing the staring eyes of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, nodding his head, exhausted all Jia Baoyu's courage.

If Mother Jia still wanted to drive the attacker away, he could only watch helplessly.

Fortunately, Mother Jia is not the kind of person who doesn't care about human feelings. Seeing that he really likes Xiren, she also gave up doing the thing of beating mandarin ducks with a stick, and let Xiren stay behind out of mercy.

But that's about it.

Jia Mu looked at the other maids kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "I don't care how you did things before, but from now on, if there is a second maid who climbs the bed, you will not be so lucky. !"

Sheyue and other maids shuddered, no matter how many thoughts they had in their minds, they were completely dismissed at this time, they only wanted to serve Baoyu well, and dared not think about anything else.

Mother Jia looked coldly, and among the eight maidservants in Baoyu's room, only Qingwen was the only one who was indifferent after hearing her warning, as if she had never had a similar thought.

Other than that, only Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had completely let go of something.

She lowered her eyelids, "Increase the quota of attackers to two taels, and she is still serving in the room. But she is not suitable for the work of a maid, so she is promoted from the second-class maids below. The size of Baoyu's room The affairs will be handed over to Qingwen and Qianxue to manage."

Xiren turned pale with shock, and looked up at the old lady, but was forced by the cold look in her eyes to dare not speak.She was worried that if she spoke again, the old lady might not take into account the favor of serving her in the past, and drive her out of Rongguo Mansion directly.

The matter ended quickly, but it did not cause too many disturbances in the Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Liu didn't know that a talisman of her own had caused so many troubles in the Rongguo Mansion, and had successfully let Xiren confirm the identity of the future aunt in advance.

But now, firstly, she can't approach Baoyu casually like before, and cultivate feelings with him; secondly, not only did she offend the old lady, but she also lost the right to manage Jia Baoyu's yard because of this.

Lin Liu had no intention of paying attention to this matter, because the autumn hunting in the paddock was about to start.

In the Lin family, there are only two males, Lin Ruhai and Guiling, both of whom are civil servants. Although they are good at riding and shooting, they are still far behind those generals who rely on it for a living, so naturally they will not go on the field in person.

So the autumn hunting in the paddock, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's husband and wife only planned to take their children and sit in the crowd's position to pass the time.

Before setting off, Ji Song showed up at the door of Lin's house with a few servants.

The concierge recognized Ji Song at a glance, and immediately turned back to report.After a while, he came back to open the door for Ji Song and invited him in.

Ji Song followed behind the maid, and soon came to Lin Ruhai's study.

When the two met, they only exchanged a few words, and Lin Ruhai asked about Ji Song's investigation, and when he learned that there was no progress, he let him go.

Lin Ruhai also came from this age, how could he not know who Ji Song came to visit for today?

Lin Liu soon learned of Ji Song's visit, thought about it, and went directly to the Huxin Pavilion in the garden to wait.

As soon as Ji Song stepped out of Lin Ruhai's room, he heard the news, his face was stained with a smile, worried that Lin Liu would be waiting impatiently, so he quickened his pace, almost jogging towards the lake pavilion in Lin's garden.

When he arrived, Lin Liu was already waiting.

Ji Song stepped forward quickly, walked directly to the seat opposite Lin Liu and sat down: "I chatted with my uncle for a while before, and it was delayed for some time, so I asked you to wait in a hurry?"

Just one sentence made Lin Liu laugh out loud: "If my father hears what you said, he will beat you carefully, and you will not be allowed to enter the gate of my Lin family again."

Ji Song realized that what he just said was inappropriate, and immediately smiled embarrassedly.

Lin Liu shook his head and looked at Ji Song: "You came here today, what are you talking about?"

Ji Song curled his lips immediately: "I haven't seen my fiancée for a long time, and I miss him so much, I want to come here to relieve the pain of lovesickness, isn't it okay? Why am I in your heart because of this temperament that I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing?"

Lin Liu suddenly felt dizzy, but he didn't expect Ji Song to have such a temper.

She just asked a very normal question, and her mouth was babbling, as if she had done some heinous thing.

In the previous life, I always heard men say how my girlfriend made troubles unreasonably, made a fuss, made a fuss, made a lot of noise...

I didn't expect to meet him once.

It seems that being a demon is not exclusive to women, and it is the same for men.

She explained dumbfoundingly: "I didn't say that, don't distort my meaning yourself. You also said, we haven't seen each other for a long time, shouldn't we have a good talk and cultivate our relationship when we meet now? If you waste your time on trivial things Isn't it a waste of our meeting?"

Ji Song thought about it, and changed the subject decisively: "Isn't this the autumn hunt in the paddock soon? I just want to ask, will you go with your uncle and aunt when the time comes? It's not the end of the autumn hunt, just to watch .”

Lin Liu nodded and looked at Ji Song with a smile: "It's decided to go. Our family will sit in the auditorium and cheer for you."

Ji Song turned his head a little embarrassedly, and after a while said: "I'm relieved if you go, I'm also planning to bring more prey during the autumn hunting, so that others will look at me with admiration."

After speaking, his eyes were glued to Lin Liu.

Lin Liu didn't realize it at first, but when he raised his head and touched Ji Song's line of sight, he suddenly felt blessed, and realized that Ji Song wanted to make everyone look at him with admiration, and he also had his own reasons.

She couldn't help laughing: "With your martial arts, how can these honorable children in Beijing who have been raised by their parents be your opponents?"

Although he knew that most of Lin Liu's words were true, but the little bit of exaggeration made Ji Song feel a little sweet in his heart.

He didn't know what to think, and suddenly said: "What animal's fur do you like? This time, I will bring you a cloak for hunting."

Lin Liu was a little moved by Ji Song's intentions, but he still shook his head and rejected his proposal: "Be careful when you hunt, just kill any prey you encounter, and you don't need to do anything for me. This will not only cost you a lot of money Heart, make you more dangerous, and waste your time."

Besides...

"I don't like fur either," Lin Liu said with a smile, "I prefer to wear silk fabrics, and fur is enough for decoration, and rabbit fur is very good."

Looking at Lin Liu, Ji Song was not only not happy, but rather disappointed: "Rabbits are everywhere, and they are sold a lot outside. It seems that there is no need to bring them back for you during the autumn hunting."

Lin Liu was helpless: "Why are you still thinking about hunting prey for me during the autumn hunting? You'd better show your face in front of the emperor if you put your heart into the game. It's a pity that I was one step too late, and let me, an unknown girl, snatch you away."

Ji Song's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had listened to Lin Liu's words.

In a few days, the Lin family asked people to pack their bags

Xu Shi saw various accidents during hunting in modern times. During the whole watching process, Lin Liu was always on tenterhooks, fearing that a person would suddenly appear from some corner and try to assassinate the emperor.

Jia Min noticed Lin Liu's state and felt strange: "You didn't play, why do you look more nervous than those in the game? But you are worried about Mr. Feng?"

Lin Liu blinked and shook his head: "Mr. Feng is superb in martial arts, as long as there are no accidents, nothing will happen. My daughter is not worried about him."

Jia Min was even more surprised: "Why is that?"

Lin Liu replied in a low voice: "I just think that during the autumn hunting, many people are equipped with weapons, and they are always worried about accidents."

Jia Min was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of Lin Liu's words, and laughed out loud: "Little Qilin, what are you thinking about every day? This is the royal enclosure, surrounded by guards and soldiers, even if someone is born next to you His thoughts will be grasped immediately, and there is no chance of accidents."

Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, she was actually misled by the TV drama, and worried about these messy things——

Everyone knows that autumn hunting is a good opportunity for accidents to happen, doesn't the emperor know?Now that he knew it, even if it was for his own safety, how could he not treat it carefully and sort out the royal enclosure carefully?

In this kind of place, accidents will not happen easily. Once an accident happens, it may be a major event of treason.

After realizing this, Lin Liu felt relieved.

It's just that many things just can't help talking about it, and once talking about it, it's easy to happen in reality.

Although there was no accident in the auditorium during the hunt, an unpleasant incident happened to those younger generations who went to participate in the competition——

The second son of Prince Zhongshun had a conflict with the eldest son of King Beijing, so he gave up the game and started fighting in front of the people around him.

When the two were brought before the emperor, they were originally two handsome young men, but they all had bruised noses and swollen faces, and their facial features were all deformed, like a pig's head.

The emperor was sitting in a high position, and Lin Liu couldn't see his expression clearly from this position, but he was asking about the situation, and after knowing that it was the eldest son of the king of Beijing County who made the move first, without asking the reason, he directly sent someone to send Beijing County The entourage around the eldest son of Wang suppressed all of them and hit fifty big boards.

Although he didn't take action against the eldest son of King Beijing, his behavior was tantamount to slapping King Beijing on the face, and the bias was very clear.

Especially not long after, the young men who participated in the competition came back and spread the news of what happened at that time. Everyone knew that although the eldest son of Prince Beijing made the first move, it was Prince Zhongshun's son-in-law who really started the incident. After the second son, everyone's preference for the emperor became clearer.

This matter is just a small episode, but it will not affect the subsequent games.

When the game time was up, the eunuchs beside the emperor were beating the gong, and after a while, the young men who had gone out to hunt came back with their prey and horses.

When Lin Liu's eyes fell on the elk and roe deer that were hanging on the horses behind Ji Song, and a strong black bear, he couldn't help but widen his eyes——

Although she has always known that Ji Song is not bad, this is the first time she has seen his excellence so intuitively.

However, this kind of shock disappeared instantly when she saw the strings of white-haired rabbits hanging on the horse of the last follower behind Ji Song, turning into a touch of helplessness.

Daiyu was sensitive to her sister's emotional changes, and looked at her curiously: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Mr. Feng won the first place, aren't you happy?"

Lin Liu glanced at Daiyu and shook her head: "I'm very happy."

It's just that seeing those rabbits made me feel a little complicated.

The two sisters whispered for a while, and seeing that all the younger generations who had gone out had arrived, they all shut up and looked into the paddock.

When the emperor saw the prey behind Ji Song, his eyes lit up: "I didn't expect Feng Aiqing's eldest son to be away for many years, and he didn't waste his martial arts. He got such good grades just after he came back. It's really likable."

After counting the number of young prey, Ji Song came out on top without any surprise.

The emperor became more and more happy, and immediately called people to the front: "You are the No.1 hunted this time, I should give you a reward. It's just that gold and silver things are vulgar after all, why don't I promise you a chance to ask me, As long as you propose it, I can give it to you."

The emperor sits in the world, and his promise is something that many people want to get all their lives, but now a young man who has just returned to the capital wins it, which is really enviable.

Many people looked at Ji Song with jealousy, wondering what kind of request he would make.

Some sane people secretly broke into a cold sweat for Ji Song. A request from the emperor is naturally precious and not worth a thousand dollars.But if Ji Song really thought that he could ask the emperor whatever he wanted, he might end up angering the emperor, turning happy events into bad ones, and ending badly.

Ji Song's heart skipped a beat, almost unable to restrain the impulse in his heart.

But after speaking, he subconsciously glanced in Lin Liu's direction, and then saw her waving anxiously at him.

Ji Song's originally hot-blooded mind calmed down instantly.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled and knelt down: "Going back to the emperor, Cao Min first came to Beijing and was confused about everything in the capital. I really don't know what to ask for. There is only one thing that Cao Min is very concerned about."

The emperor thought of the look he gave the auditorium just now, and suddenly became interested: "Tell me, what is it that makes you worry?"

Ji Song said with a smile: "Caomin first came back to Beijing, and he didn't make any achievements, but he was lucky enough to find a girl from the Lin family as his wife. Caomin was very happy, but he also felt that he was not worthy of Miss Lin. Now that the emperor gave Caomin a favor, Caomin dared to speak up. I hope that the emperor can give Caomin and Miss Lin a marriage decree, so that Miss Lin can also be envied by others because of Caomin."

After hearing this, the emperor became more and more happy, and immediately asked Lin Liu to come out.

After seeing Lin Liu, he immediately laughed: "You two are talented and beautiful, and your family backgrounds are also similar. You really are a perfect match, a natural couple. Come here, make an imperial decree!"

……

After this incident, just as Ji Song said, Lin Liu became the envy of all the women in the capital——

Not because of the imperial decree, but because of Ji Song's intentions for her behind the choice he made between his future and Lin Liu.

Most people in this world abandon their wives and daughters for the sake of their future, like Ji Song, who used up one of the emperor's promises for a marriage decree, but this is the first time they have seen them.

Lin Liu also did not expect that Ji Song would use this promise to ask the emperor to give him a marriage.

Now that she is holding the marriage decree, she is still a little dazed.

Daiyu covered her lips and laughed, and joked: "Sister, is she so happy and stupid now? Mr. Feng is so hardworking, sister must reward him well."

Lin Liu shot Daiyu a look, and said with a smile: "It's still a reward, it's fine if I don't beat him up now."

With this marriage decree, as long as the court does not fall, she and Ji Song can be regarded as tightly bound together, and they can never be separated again.
