Jinyu of the Red Chamber

The door curtain was opened, Mrs. Wang and a richly dressed woman came in, followed by a young girl, the girl's face was like a silver basin, her eyes were like water apricots, her lips were not pimple but red, her eyebrows were unpainted but green, The figure is very plump, and the clothes are not luxurious. It is an eight-cent new brocade satin cotton dress, with a silk flower on the hair, and an exquisite peony tassel hairpin on the hair bun, but there is a very heavy hairpin hanging around the neck. A golden collar with a golden lock.

"Greetings, old lady." The woman walked up to Jia Mu, smiled, and glanced at Lin Daiyu who was beside Jia Mu, and said with a smile, "This is Miss Lin! She is really good. "

Lin Daiyu looked at this woman full of doubts, wondering when did her grandmother come to have such a relative?

Naturally, Mother Jia wanted to explain Lin Daiyu's confusion, and said with a smile, "This is your second aunt's direct sister. You can call Aunt Xue." My dear granddaughter!" Then, Mother Jia patted Lin Daiyu's hand lovingly.

"I've met Aunt Xue." Lin Daiyu got up and gave a soft blessing.

Mother Jia smiled, and pointed at Lin Jinyu again: "This is my very promising grandson Lin Jinyu."

Lin Jinyu bent her lips into a smile, got up and greeted her with a salute, but it was not like Lin Daiyu's kind of elder salute.

Aunt Xue was taken aback for a moment, and then she heard Mother Jia laughing and praised: "Look at his young age, but he is very good at reading, and he won the first place in the provincial examination. Read more and write books, and you will definitely win the first prize if you take the exam." Mother Jia's words naturally have other meanings, Aunt Xue is a relative of Jia's family, but has nothing to do with the Lin family, Aunt Xue can barely be regarded as Lin Jinyu's at best Elder, but Lin Jinyu has fame and fame, you are a woman from a merchant family, do you still want someone to salute you?

Aunt Xue is not a stupid person, so she understood the meaning of Jia Mu's words, and she just smiled and flattered her: "As expected of the old lady's grandson and granddaughter, she is a good one, but this girl in my family is shameless." After that, Aunt Xue's body turned to one side, and Xue Baochai greeted her.

While talking, Xue Baochai had already sized up Lin Daiyu. She was from her daughter's family, so she naturally wanted to compare her. Hearing them and the old lady chanting Lin Daiyu's name, saying that she is the most outstanding, I was naturally a little curious, so I couldn't help comparing her with myself. Looking at her now, I can see that she is really good-looking and well-behaved, but It's not necessarily better than myself, thinking this way, Xue Baochai smiled slightly, and said to Lin Daiyu: "I heard Baoyu talk about my sister a long time ago, but I didn't expect to see her again now. A few days ago, when we first arrived at Rongguo Mansion, my aunt still pretended to be her sister." After a banquet, I thought of bringing my sister to have a good time together, and you and my sister can also be our companions."

Lin Daiyu looked at Xue Baochai, and slightly hooked her red lips: "I don't know who this sister is?"

Xue Baochai blushed immediately, and a look of anger flashed in her eyes, thinking, no wonder her aunt said that Miss Lin was the most petty and mean, but it was true when she thought about it.

A smile flashed in Jia Mu's eyes, she patted Lin Daiyu's hand and said, "This is Bao girl, she is your second aunt's niece and niece, and she is also a good-natured girl."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, got up and gave a peer salute: "I don't know if it's Sister Bao from Aunt Xue's family."

"It was me who was abrupt. I heard from Baoyu that my younger sister is the most talented. I wanted to get to know my younger sister a long time ago, but I didn't want to lose that fate. Now, by coincidence, when my younger sister comes to Jia's mansion, I can eat and play with my sisters." Xue Baochai The most stable, but he adjusted his mood in an instant, and the smile on his face was extremely soft and gentle.

Lin Daiyu felt strange when she heard this, since she doesn't live in Jia's house, why do she eat and play with her sisters?Furthermore, it is not Xue Baochai's turn to talk about it!

Lin Daiyu only smiled but did not answer, but Lin Jinyu said with a smile: "Grandma, there is one thing I haven't discussed with you yet!"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Mother Jia raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Just say what I can decide, I must answer to you."

"Father went to the palace with Long Live Lord, and I will go to the academy tomorrow. My sister and I are at home during the day, but my father and I are afraid that she will get bored, so we want to bring the sisters to the Lin Mansion to be lively." Lin Jinyu said with a smile.

Jia Mu thought for a while, then said: "I'm afraid I will cause trouble for you! Why don't you stay here for a few days, and it won't be too late when your father comes back."

"Where is it, the sisters can come, and my younger sister is the happiest. I also wanted to disturb my grandmother, but my father is not in the mansion, and I am really worried that there is no master in the mansion. That's why I want to ask my grandmother." Lin Jinyu twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

Jia Mu smiled, pointed at Lin Jinyu and said, "You still need to use a word of begging for this matter. If that's the case, let Yingchun and their sisters go with you."

"Jinyu thanked her grandmother here." Lin Jinyu raised her lips and smiled.

Jia Baoyu suddenly interjected from the side: "Cousin Lin only invites the sisters to visit the house, but he forgot about me." As he spoke, he looked at Mother Jia with an aggrieved expression.

Naturally, Lin Jinyu didn't want Jia Baoyu to go with her. There was no elder in the mansion. It's no big deal for Jia Baoyu to be a foreigner living in Lin's mansion. When the time comes, some gossip will spread to ruin her sister's reputation, and she will kill Jia. Baoyu is also useless.

"I originally wanted to invite my second cousin to go with me, but I just thought that I would go to the academy to study during the day, and I don't have time to accompany my second cousin. Besides, my second cousin also wants to study, so it's not good to waste your time. Otherwise, the second uncle would blame him, but Jinyu can't afford it."

"Naturally, that's the reason, Baoyu. Cousin Lin, you have to work hard even if you have a reputation. It's the right reason for you to go to school and come back with a reputation." Jia Mu nodded and said, her thoughts were quite similar to Lin Jinyu's. After all, Lin Ruhai was not in the mansion, so it was really inconvenient for Baoyu to go hastily. Uncle Lin is the most polite person, and if he is offended, the second mansion will lose face.

Mrs. Wang naturally didn't want Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu to have anything to do, so she echoed Jia Mu's words and said, "Where are you going to play again? Carefully, your father will test your homework and you won't be able to answer it."

When Jia Baoyu heard that it belonged to his father and fame, he immediately withered, and just sat there in a daze, not daring to mention the matter of going to Lin's residence.

Looking at Jia Baoyu's quail-like appearance, Lin Jinyu smiled inwardly, but her face was full of regret, and persuaded: "Second cousin, second aunt's words are very reasonable, after the next provincial examination, you will take part in the general examination with me, Winning the championship together at that time is not a good talk.”

"Cousin Lin, why did you have such an economic accident at such a young age, thinking of stepping into that turbid place, and being the person who seeks fame and fame." Jia Baoyu was the most impatient of these things. If he is not happy, seeing Lin Jinyu, who is younger than him, say the same thing, he will be a little annoyed at the moment.

Lin Jinyu didn't care, just smiled lightly. Anyway, he didn't really try to persuade Jia Baoyu, but just wanted to make him feel a little bit embarrassed.

Lin Jinyu doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that others are the same. In Lin Daiyu's heart, Lin Jinyu is the best. What's more, the Lin family is the family of Shilu. Listening to Jia Baoyu's words, it is possible that the ancestors of the Lin family are all for fame. older?

"What Second Cousin said makes no sense. My brother kindly persuaded you, but you didn't appreciate it. Why do you still talk about my brother?" Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Baoyu full of displeasure, her voice became cold.

If it is said that Jia Baoyu is most afraid of Jia Zheng, then Lin Daiyu is the other one. Although Lin Daiyu has been in the mansion for a long time, she doesn't get much face from Lin Daiyu, but the person he likes to be close to is Lin Daiyu the most. See Lin Daiyu His face turned cold, Jia Baoyu hurriedly smiled and said, "I deserve to die. Sister Lin, don't bother me. I apologize to Cousin Lin."

Lin Jinyu really understood Jia Baoyu's temperament this time, shook her head lightly, got up and staggered Jia Baoyu's salute, and said with a smile: "I can't be the second cousin's gift."

"You! I like to make your sister Lin angry the most. Next time you see your sister Lin talking nonsense and ignore you." Jia Mu said with a smile, but she didn't mean to blame Jia Baoyu, she just gave him a step That's all.

Mrs. Wang was very displeased when she saw Jia Baoyu saluting Lin Jinyu, she couldn't help scolding: "You don't look good, you still don't sit down for me."

Jia's mother didn't like Mrs. Wang's scolding Jia Baoyu, and she was afraid that she would offend Lin Jinyu if she couldn't figure out what disgusting words she said, so she hurriedly said to Wang Xifeng: "It's almost time, let people set up the banquet. We eat in the courtyard outside, and we are having a good time here, didn’t you say that we have invited a famous theater troupe in central Beijing! I just want to ask you what Sister Lin and Cousin Lin like to hear.”

Lin Jinyu didn't like listening to opera the least, and every time she heard those babbling, she would get a headache. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai is not a person who likes to listen to opera. In the past, she didn't suffer from that. Lin Jinyu could only shake her head and said, "Grandma should order some! I don't understand those babbling libretto."

When Jia Mu heard this, she laughed: "Is there anything you don't understand?" Jia Mu said this with a bit of a joke.

Lin Daiyu said with a smile on the side: "My brother doesn't like to listen to operas the most. My father used to invite an opera troupe for his birthday. Just once, my brother was scared. I think it's hard to listen to it."

"I don't know that Jinyu doesn't like to listen to operas, so what should I do?" Wang Xifeng asked Jia Lian to pick up Lin Jinyu and Lin Daiyu, with the intention of flattering her, but she didn't want to shoot it on the horse's hoof.

Lin Jinyu hurriedly said: "Second sister-in-law Lian is worrying too much. I don't dislike it. It's just that in the past, I only thought about reading, and I was afraid that listening to dramas would distract my mood, so I could listen less and listen less. Today, I left it to the old lady." Fu, it's good to have a taste of the fun in this play."

Wang Xifeng laughed, but said in her heart, cousin Lin is so impeccable in her speech at a young age, but Baoyu is incomparable. In the past, Baoyu was said to be a blessed person who was born with jade, but she looked at it like this, this Cousin Lin is probably the lucky one!Not sure what kind of good fortune to have.
