Jinyu of the Red Chamber

In the blink of an eye, it was already August, and the third day of the junior high school was Jia Mu's birthday. After Jia Mu's attempt to marry the Lin family failed, Jia's family also sent Jia Lian to greet her several times. Mother Jia also rested her thoughts, but just a few days ago, Yuan Chun in the palace asked someone to deliver a message, telling the Jia family to establish a good relationship with the Lin family, revealing the emperor's love for the Lin family.

Only then did Jia's mother swallow the breath given by the Lin family, and sent someone to pass the post to the Lin family in the second year of junior high school.

Lin Jinyu was a little surprised when she received the post from Jia's house. There has been no movement in Jia's house for several months, so why is it moving again at this time?

Lin Daiyu smiled without reading the content of the post: "You can't forget, tomorrow is grandma's birthday."

Lin Jinyu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You remember clearly."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, and said with a slight smile: "You just pretended to forget to tease me. You didn't choose any of the gifts prepared for my grandmother's birthday in previous years. I thought that after the incident with the third sister, my grandmother must be annoyed." It's us!"

Lin Jinyu smiled faintly, shook her head, and said with deep meaning: "Don't worry, grandma's birthday party doesn't post with us, sooner or later she will post with us because of other things." "You know again." Lin Daiyu chuckled lightly and asked, "Is the thing ready for Jia's mansion?"

"Not yet! Let's wait for father to come back and decide! This year is no better than previous years." Lin Jinyu said quietly, now the emperor has the intention to touch these old nobles, and his family and Jia's family have in-laws, if they walk around Work hard, the gifts are generous, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not have any ideas.

"It's good that you know it in your heart, are you going to Jia's mansion tomorrow?" Lin Daiyu nodded and asked softly.

Lin Jinyu smiled slightly, and said, "Of course I'm going. How can I be absent from my grandmother's birthday? Their Jia's family can be ruthless, but our Lin family can't be ungrateful. It's for the sake of my mother, so I'm going this trip."

"I'm afraid they'll plot against you again." Lin Daiyu's dark eyes dimmed, and her voice was somewhat sad.

"Relax! Tomorrow, the Jia family will definitely have a big banquet, so there is no time to plot against me!" Lin Jinyu comforted her with a smile, but she had made up her mind that if the Jia family did such shameless things, he would Naturally, I will not show mercy.

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, Lin Jinyu showed Lin Ruhai the gift list he drew up. After reading it, Lin Ruhai subtracted three tiers from previous years.

"Tomorrow is inconvenient for my father, you can go with Yu'er after you leave tomorrow. If there is no surprise, the Zhen family may come to celebrate her birthday tomorrow. You are so lucky to see that since the emperor intends to promote you, you will also be there when the time comes." To make a difference."

Lin Jinyu responded lightly, and bent his lips into a smile: "Father, have you heard something?"

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly: "The emperor has always praised you for your intelligence, so it's possible that you haven't guessed it yet?"

Lin Jinyu looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile, and cupped his hands: "How dare the child show off those little cleverness in front of his father."

"If you only show off as a father in front of your father, you will live in peace." Lin Ruhai shook his head lightly: "You go and rest!"

"Yes, the child has retired first, and the father also rested earlier." Lin Jinyu said softly, seeing that Lin Ruhai had become thinner and thinner since entering Beijing, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

After Lin Ruhai responded with a smile, Lin Jinyu bowed and left, but he felt more and more uneasy in his heart, as if something big was about to happen.

Lin Jinyu had been to Jia's residence a few times, and she knew that Jia's behavior was extremely profligate, although it could not be said that it was extravagant. On this day, Jiamu's birthday, Jia's residence made full use of the word ostentation.

Because it was already late when Lin Jinyu came out from the Imperial Academy, and she went back to pick up Lin Daiyu, so when she arrived at Jia's mansion, many guests had already arrived first.

Jia Lian was the one who greeted the guests in front of the door. When he saw Lin's carriage approaching, he called the servant to help. Lin Jinyu got out of the carriage first, and stretched out his hand in front of the carriage.

Lin Daiyu was dressed in bright pink satin dress and a flower skirt embroidered with silver patterns, and her face was covered with a layer of veil, which made it difficult to see her face clearly, leaving only two puddles of clear water like beautiful eyes, which were indescribably clear.

"Cousin Lian." Lin Jinyu cupped his hands and smiled lightly.

Jia Lian replied with the parity gift, and said with a smile: "The old lady asked several times just now, and she kept talking about Cousin Lin and Cousin Lin! Come in quickly, so that the old lady doesn't get impatient."

Lin Jinyu smiled, and stayed by Lin Daiyu's side. After she saluted, she bowed to Jia Lian before entering Jia's mansion.

The young man entered the garden as soon as he saw the carriage of the Lin family, and asked the servant girl to inform the Lin family that they were coming. The wives who surrounded Jia Mu hurriedly laughed and said, "I have heard that the old lady's granddaughter and grandson are very good. Yes, we may have opened our eyes now."

Jia's mother chuckled, "My Yu'er is a good person, but Jinyu's temperament is a bit of a literati's arrogance, which is very similar to his father."

As soon as Jiamu's words came out of her mouth, some imperial wives were stunned for a moment, and some wondered whether Jiamu had other intentions in her words.

"Students! It's all like this. My master often praised Mr. Lin's articles well written! He said that if my boy had half the talent of Mr. Lin, he would be content." Jia Mu smiled and didn't take the words, But after the servant girl notified Uncle Lin and Miss Lin that they had arrived, they hurriedly invited them in.

Speaking of which, Mother Jia hadn't seen Lin Daiyu and Lin Jinyu for several months. When she saw her today, Mother Jia couldn't help sighing secretly. Both Jinyu and Lin Jinyu were good people. If they could both marry Lin Jinyu, she would have nothing to worry about. Yes, thinking of Xue's family still living in the mansion, Jia's mother sneered in her heart, as long as she was there for a day, the businesswoman would not be able to enter the gate of her Rongguo mansion.

"Jinyu sends her greetings to her grandmother. May her blessings be like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and her lifespan be as long as that of Nanshan Mountain." Lin Jinyu said loudly, her voice was extremely crisp, with smiles on her brows and eyes. After Lin Jinyu's birthday, Lin Daiyu also greeted her with a smile. Ann, said the birthday speech.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and let grandma take a look. I haven't seen you for a few months, why do you seem to have lost weight?" Jia Mu waved at Lin Jinyu and Lin Daiyu, the love in her eyes seemed to be unstoppable. out.

Lin Jinyu smiled, and after Lin Daiyu was placed next to Jiamu, she raised her lips and said, "Damn my grandson for making my grandmother miss him so much. My grandson is just a bitter summer, and he will gain weight soon. Grandma doesn't need to worry."

"That's good. Knowing that you are working in the Imperial Academy now, I don't want to bother you all the time. I just want to pick Yu'er to stay here for a few days, and I'm afraid that something will happen in your house and you won't be able to leave." Mother Jia said at the same time. He looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile on his face.

Lin Jinyu smiled, raised her lips and said, "Grandmother really talked about it. Now my sister is in charge of all the affairs in the mansion, and the management of the mansion is only orderly. Even Jinyu will be willing to bow down!"

"I know you are used to loving my sister, but don't let Yu'er make me feel bad." Jia Mu said with feigned anger, and then she laughed, her eyes were loving like an ordinary old man looking at his beloved junior.

Lin Jinyu smiled lightly and agreed, but she was not ashamed of Jiamu's hypocrisy in her heart. If she wanted to take Yu'er over the house and just say so, why bother to want the name of kindness and want to accept it herself.After chatting with Jia's mother, Lin Jinyu resigned from Jia's mother and left the inner room. Although he is not very old now, he has been crowned, so he can't always stay in the place where the female relatives gather, so as not to be in trouble. What's wrong, it ruined my reputation.

The servant led Lin Jinyu to the lobby where the male guests were. Jia Zheng felt a little uncomfortable seeing Lin Jinyu coming. Thinking about the wishful thinking of the Rongguo Mansion before, he couldn't help feeling that he was inferior to the Lin family, but now Lin Jinyu is also an official. , and still working in the Imperial Academy, he couldn't treat him lightly.

"Jinyu has met my uncle." Lin Jinyu greeted Jia Zheng when she saw her, with a smile on her face, as if she had never had any grievances with Jia's family.

Jia Zheng smiled, nodded his head and said, "You guys are interested, why didn't my sister-in-law come today?" Jia Lian thought about this when he saw Lin Jinyu, but he was a junior, so naturally he couldn't ask, Jia Zheng As Lin Jinyu's elder, Lin Ruhai's second brother-in-law can naturally ask.

Lin Jinyu smiled slightly, and replied: "Father also wants to come with me today, but the emperor summoned him, and there is really no other way, so Jinyu and his younger sister came to pay their respects to grandmother on behalf of father."

"Sister-in-law's matter is of course a big deal, and you guys have your heart set on it." Jia She interjected at this time, with a smile all over his face. Although he was not as academic as Jia Zheng, he was not as pedantic as he was. It has long been heard that the emperor values ​​sister-in-law Lin very much, even if he doesn't come, it would be good to please Jinyu.

"Uncle." Lin Jinyu saw Jia Amnesty now, and greeted him with a smile.

Jia She waved Lin Jinyu up, and hurriedly dragged him towards his own table, and said with a smile: "Let's uncle and nephew don't see each other, today you will be at the same table with me."

Lin Jinyu gave way several times, and after she couldn't evade it, she followed Jia Amnesty's wishes.

Lin Jinyu originally thought that the person at the table with Jia She must be someone of the same generation as him, but he didn't want to feel happy when he got to the table and looked at it. He still had a high opinion of Jia She. The people at this table were divided into seniors and juniors. Yes, but they are all people who play with him on weekdays.

"Brother Zhen." Lin Jinyu saw Jia Zhen perform the peer ceremony.

Jia Zhen also stood up and returned the salute. Speaking of which, he and Lin Jinyu had never had an account, but he had heard Jia She said several times, and knew that the Rongguo Mansion had encountered a big problem with the Lin Mansion. He's not a mortal, and it's no wonder that the Rongguo Mansion wants to marry him if he can be named on the gold list at a young age.

"Speaking of which, my cousin Lin and I haven't met a few times. Today we borrowed the old lady's money, and we must have a few drinks with my cousin later." Jia Zhen laughed loudly and pointed again. Jia Rong, who was standing behind him, reprimanded: "I have no eyesight, and I haven't seen your cousin Lin yet."

Speaking of which, Jia Rong is a few years older than Lin Jinyu, but her seniority is not as high as Lin Jinyu's, so naturally she has to respectfully greet her. Jia Rong can't do anything else, but her eyesight is somewhat good, and she can tell Lin Jinyu when she sees her at first glance. Seeing that he is young, but this arrogance is not small. He wanted to greet him, but he didn't dare to speak rashly when he saw his father chatting with Uncle Lin, but he didn't want to offend his father again.

"Jia Rong has met Uncle Lin." Jia Rong saluted respectfully.

Lin Jinyu helped Jia Rong up with a smile, his expression really looked like an elder, he took out a jade pendant from his wide sleeve and handed it to Jia Rong, thinking, fortunately he has the habit of carrying jade pendants with him now, if not On this occasion, he really couldn't step down.

Jia Rong thanked her and lowered her head to play with the jade pendant. She couldn't help but be delighted. Uncle Lin was so generous with his actions. This jade pendant can be carried by Uncle Lin. It is an extraordinary thing, but now she has it. Thanks to Uncle Zhanlin's blessing, he might be able to get a high-ranking official to sit around in the future.

Sitting together with Jia She and others, Lin Jinyu felt extremely uncomfortable, because the topics discussed by these people were too unbearable, and Lin Jinyu was very confused. On such an occasion, can these individuals be so unrestrained?How did Lin Jinyu know that the one who can get so close to Jia's mansion is not a ridiculous family!

Fortunately, Jia Lian came back after welcoming the guests. Although he didn't know Lin Jinyu very well, he knew that Lin Jinyu was the number one scholar. Naturally, he had nothing to chat with people like his father. Invite Lin Jinyu to be with him.

Lin Jinyu thought that although Jia Lian was also a flirtatious person, he was much better than Jia She, and it would be better to go with Jia Lian than to be with Jia She, so he said goodbye to Jia She and others, and left with Jia Lian. .

Speaking of which, Jia Lian actually had a difficult time, not knowing where to arrange Lin Jinyu. In his opinion, this cousin Lin was a gentleman and a relative of his own, so he wanted to sit at the same table with relatives, but Jia Relatives in the mansion, he didn't say it, I guess Cousin Lin really looked down on him, after much deliberation, Jia Lian arranged Lin Jinyu by Jia Baoyu's side.

As soon as Jia Baoyu saw Lin Jinyu, he hurriedly asked, "Cousin Lin, did sister Lin come with you?"

Lin Jinyu glanced at Jia Baoyu indifferently, thinking, you are such a stubborn person, you dare to think about my sister, you really don't know how bad it is if I don't show you some blood.

"Naturally, I have come with you."

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to see Lin Daiyu, but Lin Jinyu raised his hand across his chest and said flatly, "What is Second Cousin doing? There is no reason to leave the guests behind and run away, right?" !"

Jia Baoyu smiled awkwardly, finished, and whispered back: "I want to go and see Sister Lin." As he spoke, Jia Baoyu looked at Lin Jinyu as if embarrassed, and then said, "Sister Lin hasn't been to the mansion for a long time. I don't know how she is now."

"It's great for my younger sister to live in my own house. Could it be that my second cousin really hopes that my younger sister can live in someone else's house?" Lin Jinyu raised his eyebrows, and looked sideways at Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu pursed his lips, shook his head after a while and said, "Of course not." Speaking of which, Jia Baoyu was actually quite afraid of this younger cousin. As for the reason, he always felt that he saw his father in this cousin. shadow.

Lin Jinyu smiled slightly: "I also don't think my second cousin would have such cruel thoughts."

"No, no, definitely not." Jia Baoyu shook his head hurriedly, looked at Lin Jinyu cautiously, hesitated for a while before asking: "Cousin Lin, do you not like me very much?"

Lin Jinyu was happy when he heard this, thinking that Jia Baoyu is quite sensitive!Straightening her face, Lin Jinyu looked at Jia Baoyu seriously, frowned, and said solemnly: "Second cousin, how can you use the word liking among men."

"Ah?" Jia Baoyu opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Jinyu, thinking of trying to explain something, but he couldn't speak. Speaking of which, he was also quite talented, but every time he met this cousin Lin, he was always speechless. . "Second Cousin, don't think about what you have or not, lest Second Uncle will get annoyed if he finds out." Lin Jinyu was impatient to discuss with Jia Baoyu why he likes it, so he immediately carried Jia Zheng out.

Sure enough, when Jia Baoyu heard his father's name, he instantly wilted. Let alone thinking about seeing Sister Lin, even if the old lady came to invite him, he had to weigh it carefully, so as not to be caught by his father and suffer again. Get a reprimand.
