Jinyu of the Red Chamber

When Jia Mu saw Lin Daiyu coming, she was overjoyed and didn't know what to do. She just hugged Lin Daiyu in her arms, screaming heartily, but a boy sitting beside Jiamu stared at Lin Daiyu, blinking. Nor blink.

Lin Jinyu knew at a glance that this was Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg of Jia's mansion. After a few unobtrusive glances, even Lin Jinyu would admit that Jia Baoyu was good-looking, but he was dressed too richly, and the red silk clothes were downright ugly. It made Jia Baoyu's face look like a full moon, and her pink and white face was really pleasing, but it was a pity that she looked too feminine and smelled of powder all over her body.

"I think this is the second cousin!" Lin Jinyu didn't like him staring at Lin Daiyu, and said with a smile.

Only then did Jia's mother remember that Lin Jinyu hadn't seen Jia Baoyu earlier, so she smiled at Jia Baoyu and said, "This is your cousin from your aunt's family, he is very learned, and he has already been Xie Yuan of Yangzhou at a young age."

At this time, Jia Baoyu hadn't summed up that set of fallacies, but he didn't like to read those stereotyped articles. Seeing that cousin Lin wanted to step into the officialdom at a young age, he was a little displeased, and he only sighed that the refined Lin How could my younger sister have such an elder brother?

"Cousin Lin." Jia Baoyu got up and sat down after seeing the peer salute, but his eyes slipped to Lin Jinyu from time to time. He thought that Sister Lin was a rare person in the painting, but he didn't think that Sister Lin's elder brother was also born so handsome .

Lin Jinyu was not surprised that Jia Baoyu looked carefully at her, and said to Jia Mu: "This morning I came to visit the old lady with my father, but it was too late because Jinyu was going to visit my husband early in the morning. To be angry."

Jia's mother looked at Lin Jinyu with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter, but you are too impatient. At this age, you are forced to study, and you are not afraid of exhausting your body. If you want me to say, you It is reasonable to study in the Zongxue in the mansion for a few more years before going to the examination, and it will be a good talk to take the examination with Baoyu three years later." Jia's mother has great confidence in Jia Baoyu, and this Jia Baoyu is now just dressed in white, without even a degree of fame, and it is not known whether he will have his name in the three-year provincial examination!Now that he dares to mention the test, in Jia's mother's mind, this country test is an extremely easy task for Jia Baoyu.

Lin Jinyu chuckled lightly, and raised her thin lips slightly: "Grandma said that, and my father thought the same way, so I was exempted from the general examination this time, and let Jinyu study in the academy for a few more years."

Mother Jia nodded: "That's the truth. Since your father found a husband for you, I won't force you. I don't know which gentleman your father found. I'll ask Lian'er to find out and see Is he someone with real talent and learning, so as not to miss you." Although Jia Mu knew that Lin Ruhai was now serving in the Imperial Academy, she didn't think he could find a good husband for Lin Jinyu so quickly, after all, he had been away from the capital for many years , those friends must have been alienated a lot, don't let people be deceived.

"Mr. Zhou from Junyi Academy." Lin Jinyu said with a smile.

But Jia Mu looked at Wang Xifeng suspiciously and asked, "Have you heard of it?"

Wang Xifeng knew all Chinese characters, how could he know these things, but he felt that the name was vaguely familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere.

Just as Jia's mother was about to ask in detail, she saw the servant girl saying that the elder master and the second master brought Uncle Lin to greet the old lady.

As soon as Lin Ruhai stepped into the room, he wanted to leave, because there were a lot of wives, girls, maids and women in Jiamu's room.

"Mr. Lin, you don't need to pay so much attention. These girls are your juniors, so they should show you a present." Mother Jia's eyes were full of surprises, and she immediately understood Lin Ruhai's taboo, so she hurriedly said.

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly, had no choice but to step into the house, and greeted the old lady: "Son-in-law pays respects to the old lady."

"Okay, okay, after so many years, son-in-law Lin hasn't changed much, but it's a pity that my daughter is not blessed and left early." When Jia's mother saw Lin Ruhai, she thought of her poor daughter and couldn't help becoming popular. orbital.

"Madam also missed the old lady very much when she was alive." Lin Ruhai sighed softly, and his eyes were a little moist.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not mention these sad things. Son-in-law Lin has finally come back to serve in the middle of the capital after all the hardships." Jiamu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. In Jiamu's heart, only officials in the capital can stand up. Straighten his back, thinking how much favor Lin Ruhai had received back then!Otherwise, she would not marry her daughter to Lin Ruhai.

"I heard from Jinyu that you found a teacher for him, but I don't know who it is?" Mother Jia asked. She naturally knew the name of Junyi Academy, but Mr. Zhou had never heard of it this week.

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Jia's mother didn't know Mr. Zhou who had assisted the second emperor.

"It's Mr. Zhou Zhengqian."

Mother Jia was taken aback. Of course she had heard of Zhou Zhenggan's name this week. When she first heard about Mr. Zhou in Lin Jinyu's mouth, she hadn't imagined that. After all, Mr. Zhou hadn't had an apprentice for many years. Good luck!

"Jinyu is so promising, and she is worshiped as Mr. Zhou's disciple. The future is bound to be boundless." Jiamu praised Lin Jinyu, and couldn't help but look at Lin Jinyu.

Lin Jinyu was wearing a crescent-white short gown with arrow sleeves, a dark purple belt with black edges, inlaid with large purple and blackened gemstones, and a purple wide-sleeved gown with silk brocade and smoke, wearing a crescent-white powder-based cloud head Boots, the toe of the shoe is inlaid with round white pearls, the long hair like a crow is tied with a deep purple ribbon, two strands of long hair hang down to the shoulders, and two dragons of the same color are strangled between the foreheads. Playing with white beads and wiping the forehead, it can be said that there is elegance in the luxury, and she has seen the elegance at a young age. Jia Mu couldn't help nodding her head in admiration. Although she was a little reluctant, she had to admit that Jinyu was a bit more expensive than Baoyu Guanghua and Fengya, standing next to each other, are almost the same size, but they look like Jinyu is a few years older than Baoyu.

Seeing Mrs. Jia's appreciation of Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "I wonder if my sister-in-law can recommend Baoyu?"

Lin Ruhai was a little surprised by Mrs. Wang's words, and thought it was funny for a while, Mr. Zhou could use the word "recommendation" to say it, no wonder Mrs. Wang complained a lot about this sister-in-law when she was alive.

Before Lin Ruhai could open his mouth, Jia Zheng said: "Ignorant woman, Mr. Zhou can be seen by anyone at that time. How can a blunt and stubborn person like Baoyu get into the eyes of his old man? There is nothing wrong with him." The honor of the old gentleman."

Mrs. Wang was not depressed, but because Jia Zheng didn't dare to refute, she just lowered her face and muttered: "Where is Baoyu like what you said, master?"

"Okay, from the second family, who do you think Mr. Zhou is? You can make people laugh at your nonsense." Mother Jia sighed in her heart, marrying such a foolish woman is really unfortunate for the family.

"Mother, my elder brother and I went out first with my sister-in-law." Jia Zheng didn't even look at Mrs. Wang, but only saluted Jia's mother. He also wanted to have a drink with his sister-in-law.

Mother Jia nodded, knowing that Lin Ruhai was no longer here, she just smiled and said, "Go! But let me put the words here, I want to stay with Jinyu and Yu'er for a while, and Yu'er will still live in her original courtyard. Jinyu went to live with Baoyu."

Lin Ruhai glanced at Lin Jinyu, he was extremely unwilling to leave a pair of children in Rongguo Mansion, the atmosphere of Rongguo Mansion was corrupted, so Jinyu and Yu'er could not be spoiled.

Lin Jinyu naturally understood Lin Ruhai's thoughts, he did not forget Lin Ruhai's instruction earlier, only said that if he could imitate those dudes in Jia's mansion who idle around all day long and bully others, he would break his legs.

"Grandmother is kind, Jinyu shouldn't refuse, but Jinyu will go to Junyi Academy to study from tomorrow, and father will be busy with court affairs. There is really no one to take care of the house, and I have to trouble my sister to take care of the house."

Seeing that Lin Jinyu refuted her good intentions, Jia's mother felt a little displeased, and said to Lin Ruhai, "Yu'er's body is weak, so she can't take care of those trivial things. I can't bear Yu'er to work so hard."

"Actually, there is nothing to be tired of in the mansion. Most of them perform their own duties. It's just that the servants are not good at making decisions about some things. They still have to come and ask for instructions. The old lady can rest assured that if someone in the mansion makes my sister tired, Jinyu will definitely be fine." spare him."

Mother Jia sighed, and took a meaningful look at Lin Jinyu. She couldn't understand all the excuses. The Lin family father and son made up their minds not to want Yu'er to stay in Jia's residence.

"There is no one in your house who can teach girls. Yu'er is growing up now, so I can't rest assured." As she said, Jia Mu patted Lin Daiyu's hand.

Lin Jinyu rolled her eyes with a smile, and thought to herself, if she stayed in Rongguo Mansion, it would be really worrying.

"Old lady, don't worry, I have already entrusted a friend to hire two nuns who retired from the palace for Yu'er." Lin Ruhai said with a slight smile.

Mother Jia was a little surprised. The nuns who retired from the palace were usually invited by the prince's mansion or the Hou family family to educate the young ladies, but ordinary people couldn't invite them, even their Rongguo mansion was not so big. Who is this Lin Ruhai trusting?It seems that I have underestimated this son-in-law Lin.

"Since that's the case, then I'm relieved." Mother Jia smiled slightly, and said, "You brothers also go out to eat at the bar! Don't delay here, the juniors feel uncomfortable with you."

As soon as Jia's mother finished speaking, Lin Ruhai followed suit, and after a salute, he left with Jia Zheng and Jia She, leaving only Lin Jinyu and Lin Daiyu to chat and laugh with Jia's mother.
