Jinyu of the Red Chamber

At the end of September, several large ships hired by the Lin family arrived in Chang'an mightily. The Jia family received the letter early, and Jia She's son, Jia Lian, was waiting at the pier early in the morning.

After getting off the boat, Lin Jinyu saw a handsome young man in a brocade robe looking at him, waving a fan in his hand, looking coquettish, but his eyes were not straight enough, showing a little lewdness. How is the conduct of a person.

"My nephew greets my uncle." Jia Lian saw a large group of people descending from the big boat, and the leader was his uncle Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai nodded lightly, his Lin family is a family of Shilu, a scholarly family, even if there are no offspring who have no official career, none of them is a prodigal son like Jia Lian, so Lin Ruhai does not have the slightest affection for Jia Lian.

"Jinyu, this is cousin Lian of your uncle's family."

Lin Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled, seeing a peer salute, said in her mouth: "I heard my mother mentioned Cousin Lian earlier, but I never got to see him, but today you and my brother are able to meet each other."

Jia Lian responded with a smile, but looked at Lin Jinyu carefully. He had heard earlier that this little cousin had passed the examination and was the No. 1 in the provincial examination. He knew that Lin Jinyu and Lin Daiyu were born of twins of a dragon and a phoenix, and they should be of the same mold, but looking at it now, there is no similarity. This Lin Jinyu is handsome and unparalleled, but not as rouge as Baoyu , but it is a dragon and a phoenix, and its demeanor makes people sigh.

"What Brother Lin said is very true. In the future, you and my brother must walk around more." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian respectfully said to Lin Ruhai: "The old lady ordered her nephew to come to pick up my uncle, please come to my uncle and cousin. Sedan."

Lin Ruhai shook his head, and said softly: "You go back to the old lady, tomorrow I will go with Jinyu to pay her respects to the old lady, but now I am going to the palace to face the saint."

"Since my uncle is entering the palace, my nephew naturally dare not delay, but my cousin might as well go back home with me! The old lady has been talking about my cousin!" Jia Lian said with a smile, if he couldn't pick up anyone, he might have to let him go. The old lady complained a lot.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Jinyu and thought about it. After all, the Jia family sent someone to pick him up. If he wanted to enter the palace to face the saint, he naturally couldn't go, but if Jinyu didn't go, he might not be able to justify it.

"Since that's the case, go with your cousin!"

"The child will go with my cousin." Lin Jinyu was also thinking about Lin Daiyu, so without saying anything, she got into Jia's soft sedan chair and carried them all the way to Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Lian had sent someone back to Rongguo Mansion to tell the old lady that they had picked up Lin Jinyu's sedan chair. When the sedan chair was carried in through the side door, a servant shouted, "Uncle Lin has arrived."

After getting off the soft sedan chair, Jia Lian took Lin Jinyu towards the courtyard where Jiamu lived. As soon as they arrived at the door, two maidservants raised the door curtain, and one of them said with a smile: "Old lady, Uncle Lin arrive."

Lin Jinyu sized up the person who was speaking, and saw that she was wearing an eight-layer new silk gown, with a slender body and a long face. Although the big maids around her were not comparable, she was still considered beautiful, but this was the rule. But it is not very good.

Entering the inner room, Lin Jinyu saw Lin Daiyu sitting next to Jiamu at first sight. Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Lin Jinyu respectfully bowed to the kind and kind old lady who was sitting in the middle and smiled, and said: "Jinyu pays her respects to her grandmother."

Mother Jia helped Lin Jinyu up with a smile, looked carefully, and couldn't help praising: "I only thought Yu'er was handsome, and I thought her elder brother would be good, but I didn't expect that your child is such a handsome girl." He is so outstanding, good, good, he is a good child." Mother Jia is old and has always been a handsome child who likes to have children. When she saw Lin Jinyu, she was very happy at the moment, and she took him to sit beside her, and loved it. I can't bear to let go.

"Grandma's praise is ridiculous, and Jinyu is ashamed." Lin Jinyu smiled slightly, revealing the standard eight small porcelain teeth.

Mother Jia put her arms around Lin Jinyu and laughed, but at this moment a cheerful female voice came from a smile: "Old lady, this is the cousin of the Lin family! I thought Baoyu came out of that painting." Boy, but I never thought that Cousin Lin is also so good."

Jia's mother pointed to the luxuriously dressed woman and smiled, "This is Feng Lazi from Lian's second elder brother's family. He has always had the same temperament, so you don't have to worry about it."

"So it's Lian's second sister-in-law." Lin Jinyu got up to greet her.

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and smiled, returned the salute graciously, and said with a smile: "It's all right now, the old lady has always been thinking about her cousin and cousin, so now she can feel relieved."

"Your aunt only left these two children. How can I not miss it? Your cousin is a promising man. He has already achieved fame at a young age. If Min'er is still alive, I might be so happy." Mother Jia said , her eyes turned red, she really loves Jia Min, the only daughter, and she feels distressed when she thinks that she left at a young age, leaving only Daiyu and Jinyu behind.

"Grandmother." Seeing that Jia Mu's eyes were red, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but also shed tears.

Lin Jinyu couldn't see Lin Daiyu like this, so she hurriedly said, "Although my mother has passed away, my grandson and Daiyu are loved by my grandmother. If my mother finds out, she will be at ease." Then, she looked at Lin Daiyu with pity, and persuaded: "Hurry up and wipe away your tears! You know that I can't stand you like this."

Lin Daiyu heard Lin Jinyu's helpless tone, but the corners of her mouth curled up, and she smiled. Since Lin Jinyu entered the inner room, she didn't say a word to him. After all, there are so many people in the room, and it's not good to say some personal words. Conveniently, now that Lin Jinyu spoke first, he didn't care too much, and asked, "Is father okay? I got the letter to know that you passed No.1 in the provincial examination. This year will definitely be warmed up at home every day." Book, can someone take care of you?" Lin Daiyu was very worried when she thought that Jinyu had given Feiyan to herself, and there was no one around her who could take care of it.

Lin Jinyu smiled, naturally she wouldn't worry Lin Daiyu, she just picked up the pleasant voice and said: "I'm so weak, I'm in good health! You haven't seen how those candidates left the tribute academy after the provincial examination, only you Brother, I walked out in good spirits."

Lin Daiyu chuckled lightly, and joked: "I'm so shameless, if I let my father hear it, I'll be careful with your skin."

"Grandmother, look, my sister is now expecting my father to beat me! It's useless for me to think about my sister day and night, so I have pity on my whole heart." Lin Jinyu made a gesture of grievance. Yuzhuo, like the boy who spreads wealth beside the Guanyin master, is as lovely, but his behavior is more and more endearing, making people want to be as if they are protected by eyeballs to be at ease.

When Jia Mu saw this, she really liked the same thing. She took one in each hand, hugged Daiyu and Jinyu in her arms, and said to Lin Jinyu with a smile: "If your father hits you, just come to me. It's useless, but I can't bear to part with my precious grandson!"

"The grandson will thank the grandmother first." Lin Jinyu replied with a smile.

After talking with Jia Mu for a while, the door curtain was pulled open again, and this time, two older women and three girls in the same clothes came in. The three girls were about the same in size and appearance She is beautiful and has a smile on her face.

Lin Jinyu averted his eyes. Although he is still young, men and women have been seated differently at the age of seven since ancient times. He doesn't want anyone to make trouble in the future.

Seeing the behavior of such a young adult as Lin Jinyu, Jia's mother smiled kindly, and secretly admired that she came from a noble family and was so polite at a young age.

"Jinyu, these are your two aunts."

Lin Jinyu naturally knew who these two were, but there was a slight expression on her face, she just raised a slightly innocent smile, saluted, and said: "My nephew greets the two aunts."

Mrs. Wang was unexpectedly friendly, with a three-point smile on her face, and gave the meeting gift, but Mrs. Xing took off a string of bracelets with great distress, and said with a smile: "If you are not prepared for a while, nephew don't want these bracelets. It's disgusting."

Lin Jinyu naturally knew Mrs. Xing's character. With her temperament, she couldn't tell how much she would feel distressed by this hand pearl today. She was amused in her heart, but she shook her head with a smile on her face, and said: "Auntie's kindness, Jin How dare jade despise it."

"Your nephew has the best temper." Mother Jia was a little displeased with the stinginess of the eldest daughter-in-law, and said lightly, then ignored Mrs. Xing, and only said to the three flowery granddaughters: "Come and see Jinyu." , They are all brothers and sisters of our own family, so don’t worry about it.” After finishing speaking, he pointed to the three of them and introduced them one by one: “This is Yingchun from your uncle’s family, ranking second, slightly older than you.”

"Second cousin." Lin Jinyu called out politely and smiled.

"Cousin Lin, you're being polite." Yingchun returned the greeting with a soft smile.

"This is Tanchun from your second uncle's house."

"I've met cousin Lin." Tan Chun held the peer salute, secretly looking at Lin Jinyu with curiosity.

"This is the fourth girl, Xichun." Mother Jia pointed to the youngest Xichun and said, "She is the younger sister of your big brother Jia, and she was raised by me since she was a child."

"I've met Cousin Lin." Xichun smiled slightly, looked at Lin Jinyu generously, and smiled at Lin Daiyu: "I would like to think that the twins must be carved out of the same mold! Unexpectedly, Cousin Lin and Sister Lin It's not very similar."

Lin Daiyu has always liked Xichun's temperament, and she was extremely close to him, so she smiled and said: "I follow my mother's appearance, but my brother takes the advantages of my parents." Lin Daiyu is extremely protective of Lin Jinyu. In her eyes, Lin Jinyu There is nothing bad about my brother, needless to say about his appearance, anyone who sees him will praise him seven points, and he has achieved fame at a young age, and he will have a bright future in the future. My brother is already excellent.

Xichun nodded. Contrary to what we said to Lin Daiyu, she thought that Baoyu's appearance was rare and handsome, but she didn't expect that this cousin of the Lin family was even better. The temperament is one in the sky and the other in the earth. Baoyu's body is too thick, but this cousin Lin is full of luxury, and he is a very noble person at first glance.

"Sister, are you praising me?" Lin Jinyu looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile.

"Which one praised you, but you, and you don't have a meeting gift when you meet the sisters?" Lin Daiyu asked with a three-pointed smile, nodding her cheek with one hand, but she knew that Lin Jinyu would definitely not lose her courtesy.

"This is wronging me. I know that my grandmother's family has three cousins, so I prepared gifts before coming here." Lin Jinyu ordered the maid who accompanied her to present gifts.

Not long after, three servant girls came in from the outer hall, holding a beautiful wooden box in their hands.

Lin Jinyu stood up and saluted Jiamu, "Father prepared a gift before I came, I hope grandma won't dislike it." Then, she clapped her hands lightly, and a maid opened the box and presented it.

Mother Jia also came from a noble family, needless to say when she was in the historian's family, she was also raised by a thousand pampers and pets, and she never suffered any grievances when she married into Jia's mansion, she was very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, that's how it was when she saw the casket His eyes were also bright when looking at the objects in it, and he said with a smile: "It's good that you can come and see me, but it's costing your father."

"However, it's an expense, but it's just that the father respects the grandmother." Lin Jinyu smiled lightly, raised her hand slightly, and asked the maid to present the other items, and said to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing: "This is Jinyu's filial piety." The two aunts."

"Why are you so polite, child?" Mrs. Wang glanced at her with her eyelids lifted, and said with a smile on her face. At first glance, she was really a kind person.

"That's right, my nephew is too polite. Your uncle was still talking about you earlier, which is what made you look forward to." Mrs. Xing saw Qian Qian's eyes openly, and she still felt sorry for the hand beads she gave away. Now it is joyful.

Lin Jinyu pursed her lips into a smile, and asked people to present the gifts prepared for the girls, and said: "This pearl hairpin is not a rare thing at all. What is rare is the alexandrite cat's eye inlaid on the head of the hairpin. People bought it and used it as a pearl hairpin, so I invite my sisters to play with it today, so don’t dislike it.”

Seeing Jiamu nodding with a smile, Sanchun stepped forward to take a look. It was indeed as Lin Jinyu said, the cat's eyes inlaid on the hairpin's head were of excellent quality, bright and bright, and the opal was polished extremely round. The most wonderful thing was how many The styles of the beaded hairpins are different, and the inlaid cat's eyes are also different colors, which is really hard to put it down.

"Oh, old lady, I'm jealous. All sisters who love each other have gifts, but my sister-in-law doesn't have one." Wang Xifeng said coquettishly to Jia Mu, with the coquettish attitude of a young girl.

Naturally, Lin Jinyu would not be so disrespectful in doing things. Looking at Wang Xifeng with a smile, Lin Jinyu said, "Second sister-in-law Lian's words have wronged me. A total of twelve pearl hairpins have been made, two for each of the sisters, sister-in-law Two each with my niece, and the other two have to be handed over to my sister-in-law."

"Look, look, after all, he is a scholarly family, and Jinyu behaves with etiquette, which is different from others." Jiamu said with a smile, her eyes glanced at her second daughter-in-law casually.

"Grandmother praised you." Lin Jinyu bowed, glanced at the sky outside, and said to Jiamu: "It's getting late, and the affairs of the house have not been touched, so I won't disturb grandma today, and wait until the house is cleaned up." , my grandson is here to say hello to my grandmother, and besides, today my grandson also wants to bring Daiyu back together, my father hasn't seen Daiyu for a long time, and I really miss her dearly."

"What's the rush, your mansion hasn't been cleaned up properly, just stay here, and arrange someone to guard outside the palace gate later, so I can send you a letter." Mother Jia couldn't bear Lin Jinyu, even though she was It's the first time we meet, but who wouldn't love such a lovely grandson!What's more, Jia's mother is even more reluctant to take Yu'er away.

"Grandma's love should not be declined, but it's really worrying that there is no one in the house to take care of her." Lin Jinyu turned her eyes and looked at Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu understood, and said: "Grandmother, Yu'er misses her father very much after not seeing her for so long. Today, I will go back home with my brother first. When everything is settled, Yu'er will come back to see you."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu opened her mouth, Jia's mother couldn't persuade her to stay. After all, what Lin Jinyu said was reasonable. Yu'er's father and brother had all returned to Beijing, so there was absolutely no reason for her to live in someone else's house.

"Since that's the case, I won't keep you guys. When the mansion is cleaned up, you and your father will come over. Don't be in a hurry. I'll have my servants tidy up all of Yu'er's things tomorrow and send Lian'er to the mansion." " Jiamu said with a smile, she also heard from Yu'er that since Min'er left, Jinyu has taken care of all the big and small things in Lin's house, and such a big child has to take the imperial examination. It is really distressing to have to take care of family affairs.

"Since that's the case, I thank my grandmother, and I have to trouble Cousin Lian." Lin Jinyu said with a smile, slightly bowed to Wang Xifeng, and after socializing for a while, she took Lin Daiyu away.
