The daily life of Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Shen is very satisfied with most of Daiyu's conditions. She is handsome, has a good family background, has a smart temper, is up to date, has read a lot of poetry and books, and is even a good housekeeper.Really everything is good, only one thing makes Mrs. Shen a little worried, that is, Daiyu's body is really too thin.

Generally speaking, there is no parent who doesn't care about this.It doesn't matter if Daiyu's own body is like this, and the Shen family is big and successful, and they don't care if there are more doctors in the mansion to provide some medicinal materials.What Mrs. Shen is most worried about is whether Daiyu's body will affect the issue of her children.She is not a wicked mother-in-law, and she can try her best to be considerate of her daughter-in-law, but the inheritance of children is really a major event that cannot be ignored.

It's just that although she has doubts about this aspect, she can't say much about it.After all, the girls didn't want to be thin on purpose, did they?Moreover, Mrs. Shen's upbringing really couldn't do this kind of thing like picking people's right and wrong face to face.Therefore, although Mrs. Shen was a little worried, she didn't show it on her face, she just wanted to go back and discuss it with Shen Ding.

Besides, Mrs. Shen is very satisfied with Daiyu.Especially because both of them are from a scholarly family, they love to read, have a broad vision, and the topics will be very interesting, instead of just sticking to fashionable clothing and jewelry, or gossip about other people's family.Mrs. Shen talked about their family's tenure, the local customs and customs of Suzhou, interspersed with poetry, books and miscellaneous studies, as if using life to verify the contents of the books, comparing them one by one, but there are similarities and differences.I really read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles.

Mrs. Shen is like this, and Daiyu is not bad.Although Daiyu didn't have the experience of traveling in Suzhou or anywhere else, she couldn't help that Daiyu had a good father.Lin Ruhai himself is a very interesting person, and he is also very good at teaching children. He often teaches Daiyu with his own experience supplemented by essays.To experience this kind of thing, as long as you can comprehend it from the teachings of others, it is also a very good experience.In addition, Daiyu's hometown is Gusu, she grew up in Yangzhou when she was a child, and later lived in the capital for a few years. It is also very interesting to talk about the customs and experiences of various places.

Therefore, the overall atmosphere of the few people chatting is not bad.Xing Shuang looked at it and couldn't help sighing, as expected, people flock together.Daiyu and Wang have never talked so much when they meet and communicate.Often the conversation between the two of them was basically to please An, or Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to knock a few more words to tell Daiyu to stay away from her precious son.And then it's gone.It can be seen that people really have an aura. Daiyu is obviously more in tune with Mrs. Shen's aura, but she is probably not in harmony with Mrs. Wang, but at odds!

From this point of view, the Shen family that Lin Ruhai chose for Daiyu was not bad, at least if Daiyu married, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be too terrible.

Different from the casual chat between Xing Shuang, Mrs. Shen and Daiyu, the topics of the men in the study were different.

The female relatives don't know some inside information of the officialdom, how can Shen Ding not know?Even the strife in the officialdom in Yangzhou spread to their Suzhou side. Many people were watching the show and paying attention to the situation in Yangzhou, which showed that it was dangerous.However, Suzhou was too far away from Yangzhou, and the news Shen Ding could receive was many days behind. Naturally, he didn't know the latest progress, so he was always worried.

After Shen Ding was concerned about the situation and health of a wave of friends, he slipped his son in front of Lin Ruhai, feeling a bit complacent, wanting to show off in front of his old friends, and asked, "Brother Ruhai, look at my little boy." How is your son?"

Lin Ruhai looked at the complacent look of his old friend, feeling a little annoyed, he didn't even look at it, and almost blurted out a sentence of "not so good".The three words passed in his mouth again and again, and then Lin Ruhai swallowed them back.In my heart, I felt that Shen Ding was not kind, and he was really too ruthless.Lin Ruhai complained silently in his heart, then turned to look at the boy Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was not afraid, after showing Lin Ruhai the gift, Shen Yan stood upright and let Lin Ruhai scrutinize him without fear.

Lin Ruhai looked carefully for a moment, and saw this young man with a jade face and a green robe, and a tall and straight figure.Coupled with those clean eyebrows and clear temperament, he really is a handsome young man, a good son in troubled times.When Lin Ruhai met him in the past, he was a little out of temper, but now he looks more stable.It looks much better than it was three years ago.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ruhai began to test his homework again.Shen Yan is famous as a young man, and his basic skills are solid. Lin Ruhai doesn't ask him about those basic memories, and just chooses the in-depth and practical questions.Such a question is actually a bit deep for a young man like Shen Yan. Lin Ruhai didn't expect Shen Yan to give him a good answer. What he wanted to investigate was Shen Yan's depth of thought.In the end, it naturally lived up to his expectations, and Shen Yan's answer satisfied him very much.The smile on Lin Ruhai's face became even wider.

After sizing up and comparing, Lin Ruhai felt that this young man was really good.It's not enough to just feel good in your heart, you have to praise it on the face.It's best to be able to boast a piece of the sky, otherwise how can Shen Ding be satisfied?Lin Ruhai praised loudly: "Not bad, good-looking, personable, he is really a gentleman like jade. He is so knowledgeable, and among the younger generation, it is rare to find anyone who can compare with Yan Er! Brother Shen has raised a good man. son!"

Although Lin Ruhai made complaints about Shen Ding's sloppy mouth and unkind heart, but this family is indeed very popular with children, and the sons he gave birth to are very good.Lin Ruhai was really envious.The eldest son of the family has already become a talent, and now the youngest son is also very good, but there are successors!

Lin Ruhai and Shen Ding's usual way of getting along is like this, so it's not surprising that Shen Ding knew that Lin Ruhai was teasing on purpose.Instead, he climbed up the pole: "That's that, my son is good." Shen Ding climbed up the pole with a cheeky face, and Shen Yan at the side was a little embarrassed, unable to stand the ridicule of the two, his face turned red when he was praised I'm a little embarrassed.

He really couldn't bear the praise, and one more thing, his father brought him to Yangzhou on a special trip, so he already knew why he came here.He didn't have any ideas before, but in the past two days, the soft-handed and talented girl he met at the Lantern Festival the day before kept flashing in his mind, and he was a little shaken for a while, and he secretly hoped that Uncle Lin would never look down on him. heart.

But things backfired. He just thought about his poor performance, when he heard his father and Uncle Lin discussing: "It's very good to be like Brother Hai's teaching. How can I be as good as Tanhualang in the imperial examination knowledge? Then Just let this kid stay in the house for a while, and his mother and I will go back to Beijing to report on our work first, and we will arrange for him when my next vacancy comes out."

Lin Ruhai replied: "You just go about your business, Yan'er doesn't care whether you stay in the capital or continue to leave the capital, just stay here with me. If you like me, Just ask him to be a disciple to me, or just treat him as a normal friend and nephew, I will definitely teach him well, where do you need to arrange it?"

Father Shen laughed loudly: "Okay, sure enough, Yan'er, why don't you come over to see your teacher soon?"

Shen Yan: ...

But in such a short time, not only did he have an extra teacher, but he also had to live in the teacher's house for a while, Shen Yan wanted to cry.Moreover, he just wants to cry and doesn't want to stay!

The two of them finalized a master-student relationship with a few words, Shen Yan came over to salute and changed his words in a daze, until he was "thrown" out of the room by the two of them, he hadn't reacted yet.Lin Cheng, who was leading the way for him, suddenly lost his voice. Looking back, seeing that young man Shen was about to hit the pillar, he was almost scared to death, and pulled Shen Yan past him, "Hey, young master Shen! , the road is this way!"

Only then did Shen Yan wake up a little bit.Seeing that he was on the road outside, he asked, "Where is this going?"

"Didn't Mr. Shen ask you to come and see Mrs. Shen, and say hello to our uncle and wife?" Lin Cheng was a little speechless, that's how the memory of emotional scholars is!

Shen Yan, who was complained about by Lin Cheng, didn't feel anything special about his son.He was thinking this time, it's over, it's over, it's over, his father and Uncle Lin have such a good relationship, this time it must be "doomed", silently mourning in his heart that his love seed was scalded to death by a cup of boiling water before it had time to germinate. I can't even take care of the butler's complaints!

It only said that Xing Shuang took Daiyu to entertain Mrs. Shen in the flower hall, and Ruyi came in behind the curtain and said, "Master Shen is here."

Daiyu has learned some rules in the past few years, and she knows that Baoyu behaves unscrupulously, and it is inappropriate to act recklessly. It is the elder brother of the Shen family who should be notified first, so as to give the female relatives who need to avoid taboos a little time to react. .The guest's son is coming, and Daiyu got up to avoid it, but she was stopped by Mrs. Shen: "With the friendship between our two families for many years, it's okay to see him. Don't leave. Otherwise, there will be trouble in the future." If one day we meet by chance and don’t know each other, then it will be a joke!”

Daiyu turned her head to look at Xing Shuang, and Xing Shuang also nodded: "Your Aunt Shen and I are here anyway, so it's okay to meet you, Yu'er, please sit down!" Daiyu then sat down again .

Not long after, I saw Shen Yan wearing a green robe, with a slender figure, walking in closely.First to Mrs. Shen, and then under Mrs. Shen's guidance, I greeted Xing Shuang,

Finally, I introduced Daiyu: "This is the daughter of your uncle Lin's family. Her name is Daiyu. You can only call her younger sister." Mrs. Shen didn't know about her apprenticeship before, so she just introduced her as an old friend.

Shen Yan knew that this was the future daughter-in-law his father planned to make for him, so he looked up at Daiyu holding back his sadness, and the word "sister" stopped when he was about to say it.

When Shen Yan greeted Xing Shuang just now, Xing Shuang recognized him. Isn't this the young man who saw Daiyu's ears turning red?However, Xing Shuang originally thought that Shen Yan would react, but he called out calmly and turned his gaze back.

Xing Shuang: ...I didn't change my costume at the time.

Since Shen Yan didn't recognize him, Xing Shuang also thought of watching a joke for a while, so he pretended not to recognize him and see how the two develop.After all, she didn't change her clothes at that time, but Daiyu changed into a man's clothes.He didn't recognize himself without changing clothes, so can he recognize Daiyu who has changed clothes?

Daiyu has been sitting obediently beside Xing Shuang, not looking around at all.Mrs. Shen at the side nodded when she saw it, and was very satisfied with Daiyu's manners.

Daiyu didn't look up all the time, so she didn't know what her father, the elder brother of a classmate and friend, looked like.She held back her curiosity and only waited for Shen Yan to call her before sneaking a glance at her, but she waited for a long time for this call.Can't help but look up,

Originally, I just planned to glance at it lightly, but when I looked up, I saw Daiyu's lively eyes slowly getting bigger and rounder, very surprised!

Shen Yan was a bit skeptical at first, maybe there are similarities?Or have I been hallucinating after thinking too much these two days?However, as soon as he saw the surprised expression on Daiyu's face, he knew it was true. This was the soft-fingered, talented and cute little girl.The surprise came too fast, and Shen Yan didn't know how to react.Then, seeing Daiyu about to ask questions, Shen Yan's heart moved, and he called out teasingly: "It's my junior sister!"

As expected, Daiyu was distracted, looked at Shen Yan, blinked her eyes, and asked suspiciously, "What little junior sister?" Xing Shuang and Mrs. Shen also had strange expressions on their faces.Shen Yan knew that this was an incident in the front yard, but it didn't come back!After explaining it to a few people, everyone knew the reason and laughed for a while.

Only Mrs. Shen thinks more.If the disciples all agree, then the marriage contract can basically be confirmed.I don't know how to feel for a while.It's just that I have some regrets in my heart.

After Shen Yan's heart was overwhelmed, all he could do was secretly delighted: "Oh, so she is the future daughter-in-law my father wants to order for me! The future daughter-in-law is so cute, so kind, awesome!"

Shen Yan was delighted, and Daiyu was a little confused: Hey, the person who snatched the lantern from her on the day of the Lantern Festival became my father's disciple? ! !

What she didn't know was that the disciple was just one identity, and there was another identity that was even more difficult for her to accept!

After the Shen family returned, Lin Ruhai asked Daiyu about Mrs. Shen.Just because of Mrs. Shen's words, Xing Shuang still gave affirmative advice.After all, it can be seen that Mrs. Shen is still a very easy-going person, and Daiyu and her can get along well.When Xing Shuang said this, Lin Ruhai was relieved, he was really optimistic about Shen Yan.Today, he and Shen Ding have almost discussed it, so Shen Ding can only discuss it with his wife after returning home.Knowing that Daiyu met Shen Yan today, Lin Ruhai thought about it, and asked someone to call Daiyu over to ask.Although to a large extent Daiyu should be fine.Who knows that Daiyu really has an opinion.

When Shen Yan and Daiyu meet again, their first impressions are completely different, okay?

Did Daiyu have an opinion? Lin Ruhai was very surprised: "What misunderstanding did Yu'er have about Shen Yan?"

Then, with an indigestible expression on her face, Daiyu will tell Lin Ruhai what happened on the day of the Lantern Festival.She didn't have a problem with Shen Yan winning her, or she was obviously the one who had her eye on the lantern first, but he came from behind, so she insisted on lingering with her and refused to let go.When it came time to answer the questions later, Shen Yan didn't even stretch out his hand when the red paper was uncovered, and took it by himself, so she had no objections.Facing Lin Ruhai: "Father, do you think his behavior is good? Either he is too lazy or narrow-minded, or he is too airy, and he has to be waited on to guess lantern riddles."

The same thing is sometimes seen in different ways by different people.Shen Yan Mingming discovered that Daiyu was a daughter, and he accidentally touched Daiyu's hand before, so he didn't extend his hand because of embarrassment.Daiyu didn't know the specific situation, so she felt that this person was not good.

Lin Ruhai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You girl is usually sober, what's going on this time, you've got into a dead end? I don't want to think that if someone is really arrogant or narrow-minded, he can finally remind you?"

To say that Lin Ruhai's impression of Shen Yan was first-class.Earlier, Lin Ruhai had a good first impression when he first met him, and then Shen Yan's growth in the past was often passed on through letters from friends, and he was indeed a talented and hardworking person.Who wouldn't like such a person?Shen Yan has completely become one of Lin Ruhai's favorite types of people.Every time Lin Ruhai sees him, he can't help but sigh with emotion, if he has such a big son, he has cultivated it carefully, and that's it.It can be seen that Lin Ruhai has a good impression of him.

At the end when Shen Yan reminded her, Daiyu didn't quite understand.Obviously he was the one who snatched it from him first, but in the end he reminded himself of the answer. In short, he is a very strange person, and Daiyu just insisted on this.He argued with Lin Ruhai: "Then it's useless for him to remind me in the end anyway, I don't lie! If you lose, you lose! His behavior is not good, and helping others to cheat is also cheating, not to mention that they don't need it. "

Lin Ruhai was helpless.It is also wrong for people to let you.Left and right Daiyu has opinions on this point with Shen Yan, so it can be ignored.

Afterwards, Mrs. Shen went back to discuss matters with Shen Ding and his wife!Said it was a discussion, but Shen Ding actually meant to make a decision directly, after all, he and Lin Ruhai had said the same thing.Shen's mother is reasonable, she doesn't pick on people's faults, and she has her own thoughts.The political resources of the third house of the Shen family still favor the eldest son.It's not that they are partial, families are generally like this, the eldest son is different.Then, Shen Yan will receive relatively less care.

And Lin Ruhai is only a girl like Daiyu, and her contacts in the officialdom will definitely be left to Daiyu's husband-in-law in the future.Just from this point of view, Daiyu is very suitable.What's more, Daiyu herself is also very good, highly educated, and can handle housework. In comparison, except for the problem of being a little thin, she still has more advantages.He also agreed.I just made up my mind that I must find a doctor to come to Daiyu to take good care of her body.

After seeing their daughter-in-law, Shen Ding and his wife are going back to Beijing.After all, Shen Ding still had a mission, so he couldn't stay for long, but Shen Yan was left behind.At the same time, the marriage contract between Daiyu and Shen Yan was also made.Of course, Shen Yan was right this time very willingly.

Shen Yan was happy, but Daiyu was not so happy.She didn't refute the marriage contract that her father personally made.It's just that it's right not to be very happy.Especially Shen Yan has lived in the Lin family since Shen Ding's parents left.The two met more often.

Afterwards, the library that Lin Ruhai asked someone to repair also healed.Lin Ruhai asked someone to move the books that had been sorted out before, and then asked a student from a nearby academy to copy a copy and leave it in the library for free.Shen Yan helped run up and down in the mansion, he was really caring like a son, and completely pulled Lin Ruhai's heart over.Daiyu is still not very happy.

Xing Shuang felt that Daiyu seemed to be prejudiced against Shen Yan.She felt that Daiyu was kind to others, but she seemed to have a different requirement for Shen Yan.It's not good, but it's embarrassing for others.Therefore, Xing Shuang wanted to ask Daiyu, what did she think of her?Is it because I am old and don't understand the love of young people now?

But Shen Yan is also very annoying!Shen Yan was worried about how to send out his prize - that lantern?He naturally felt that Daiyu had a problem with him.Shen Yan felt that it was the lantern that was causing trouble, and it must have robbed the little girl of her beloved. The little girl was upset, and that's why she had such opinions on herself.However, Daiyu refused to accept the lantern twice, Shen Yan became very irritable.Just say that the lanterns were a little hot that day, what should I do?

Then, Mother Jia of the Rongguo Mansion sent a letter asking the elder to take Daiyu back.Presumably, I heard that Lin Ruhai has been doing well, and that the Elder Master is still in the Lin family, so I can't sit still.Then, the military order is not accepted, the elder finds that it is quite fun outside, and he doesn't want to go back, but Xing Shuang has something to do because he is going to Jinling.So, the two discussed how to write letters to fool Jia Mu, and then decided to go to Jinling.

Anyway, until Xing Shuang left Yangzhou in early February and took a carriage to Jinling, Xing Shuang didn't understand what happened between Daiyu and Shen Yan...
