Jinyu of the Red Chamber

When Jia Baoyu's father, Jia Zheng, entered the door, he was so frightened that he stood up beside Jia's mother. He didn't dare to meet Jia Zheng's eyes. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead unconsciously. Baoyu wiped his forehead with a maid's handkerchief, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to Lin Daiyu's side.

"Sister Lin, the hairpin on your head is so unique! Why haven't you seen it before?" Jia Baoyu's eyes were so sharp that he saw Lin Daiyu's new headdress at a glance.

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Your eyes are so sharp, this was sent to me by my elder brother, and the hairpin with my sisters was made by a master."

"Do the sisters have it too?" Jia Baoyu looked at Tanchun and the others.

Tanchun smiled and nodded, "Cousin Lin brought my sisters a gift. The head of the hairpin is inlaid with alexandrite cat's eyes. It's smooth and smooth. The color is very good. The sisters immediately like it when they bring it back home!"

"That's right, your cousin is very caring. Not only your younger sisters got the objects of joy, but my old lady and the wives also got the treasures." Jia Mu smiled lovingly, her eyes narrowed a slit, and raised her eyes. Putting her hand on the little phoenix hairpin in Lin Daiyu's hair, she said with a smile, "I liked this alexandrite cat's eye very much when I was young, but I can't wear it when I'm old. Now that you wear it, it reminds me of when I was young." .”

"What the old lady said is wrong. You are so graceful and rich, why can't you wear alexandrite cat's eyes? If you ask me, you will look good if you wear them!" I'm being cheeky, I don't know if you still have this alexandrite cat's eye, if you have it, I will ask you to come and give the old lady a gold silk eight-treasure pearl hairpin."

"Look at this savage monkey, there is a master who asks people for things, but he is not ashamed." Jia Mu pointed at Wang Xifeng and smiled, but she was not annoyed. She always liked Wang Xifeng's sharp and sharp temperament.

"It's the grandson, damn it, I should forget about my grandmother, don't worry about my grandmother, tomorrow I will send someone to give cat's eyes to Lian's second sister-in-law, when the hairpin is finished, my grandmother will have to bring it to Jinyu to have a look " Lin Jinyu said with a smile, and took out a brocade box from his wide sleeve, and smiled at Jia Baoyu: "This thing was prepared, but last time I didn't see my second cousin, Jinyu only wanted to talk to my second cousin. Brother, please find a coincidence and deliver the things to my cousin in person."

"Thank you, Cousin Lin." Jia Baoyu didn't expect to get something, so he quickly took it over and opened it, only to see a very good iridescent glass jade in the brocade box. In the shape of a full moon, the back is engraved with the words "Baoyue doubles in the wheel, the moon is near the jade altar of the peak", and the front is carved with two vivid twin carp playing beads.

"This... is too precious." Jia Baoyu didn't know whether to accept it or not, but he was very happy when he saw the pair of jade pendants playing with carps and pearls.

"Since it's your cousin's wish, you just accept it." Jiamu was happy that the two brothers were getting along with each other, but she would not treat Jinyu badly, so she just said to Yuanyang, "Go and keep my house. Bring me the golden nanmu carved box."

When the mandarin duck came out, she was holding a beautifully carved box, and Jia Mu took it over and said to Lin Jinyu, "You junior, I can't let you spend your money in vain. I have a crown here, and you can take it to play with it." Bar!"

Lin Jinyu did not refuse, took it with a smile, opened the box, and inside was a white jade crown pinched with golden silk and inlaid with green pearls. The workmanship was very exquisite, and the clear green pearls were as big as a baby's fist. , All of a sudden it was precious, Lin Jinyu directly took out the crown and put it on his head for comparison, and said with a smile: "Grandma looks good when I wear it?"

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful." Seeing that Lin Jinyu liked it, Jia's mother was also in a great mood, and she praised: "Jin Yusheng is so handsome, but wearing a white jade crown is a perfect match. Your grandfather liked wearing a white jade crown very much. You seem to see your grandfather."

Jia's mother was full of emotion, but Mrs. Wang's words were not pleasant to her. This Lin Jinyu is from the Lin family. How can she be like the old Duke? Even if she is, she can only be Baoyu.

"No, it's the old lady who had the foresight to make the white jade crown for my cousin. But let me tell you, my cousin is so good that everything he wears looks good." Wang Xifeng said with a smile. It is said that Uncle Lin is extremely favored now, even this cousin Lin is also very good, and it will be a matter of time before she will be named on the gold list, now she has a good relationship with this cousin Lin, so she can rely on one or two in the future.

"Grandmother, second sister-in-law, don't you bother to praise him, his tail will go up to the sky." Lin Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and joked with a smile, but her eyes were obviously flashing with pride .

Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng laughed and joked a few more times, but Mrs. Wang was extremely reluctant. From her point of view, this Lin Jinyu didn't have much ability. , I can’t tell whether there is something tricky in it. Otherwise, why would Lin Ruhai not let Lin Jinyu participate in the current science examination? With a sneer in her heart, Mrs. Wang interjected: "The last time my natal sister sent a letter, and she will be in the capital soon, thinking about it." Come to say hello to the old lady, when the time comes, my nephew and niece will also come and have fun together, but my relatives don't need to see outside, my elder sister has a son and a daughter, she is a good person."

Lin Jinyu was taken aback, not because the Xue family was coming, but because Mrs. Wang was out of order, and the Xue family was her relatives, so why did she have anything to do with the Lin family? A businessman, according to Mrs. Wang, was related to the Lin family , What a joke.

Don't say that Lin Jinyu had this idea, but Jia Mu was taken aback when she heard Mrs. Wang's words at first, and her brows were unconsciously frowned. You must know that businessmen are the most humble professions, and Mrs. Wang actually took a businessman It's not a joke to be related to the Lin family of the Shilu family and the scholarly family, but Mother Jia couldn't disgrace Mrs. Wang in front of everyone, so she just said lightly: "I don't know that the concubine is coming. "

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "My niece and aunt came to Beijing early because she wanted to be elected in Beijing."

Mother Jia nodded, but she knew in her heart that this daughter of the Xue family was a candidate, and how could a merchant's daughter enter the palace.

Mrs. Wang saw that Mother Jia did not object, and then she said to Lin Jinyu: "I will send you a message earlier, and my nephew and niece will come earlier."

Lin Jinyu smiled lightly, and replied: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate, after all, my aunt is a relative of my second aunt, and has nothing to do with my Lin family, so it's unreasonable to come here rashly."

Mrs. Wang swallowed Lin Jinyu's words, covered the corners of her mouth with a veil to cover up, and said with a smile, "Where did you come from so many taboos, you villain."

"My aunt and nephew don't agree. Since ancient times, men and women have not sat together at the age of seven. Now that I meet my sisters, I got what the old lady said. After all, the aunt has nothing to do with the Lin family, so Jinyu is a foreigner. Let's make it up." Lin Jinyu raised the corners of her mouth, with a half-smile.

Mrs. Wang did not expect Lin Jinyu to be so shameless, she was annoyed and her face sank slightly.

Lin Daiyu sighed in her heart, and said softly: "Auntie is so kind, she shouldn't say goodbye, but what my brother said is somewhat reasonable, I hope Auntie will not be angry."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu gave the steps, Mrs. Wang just smiled and said: "I meant it well, but Jinyu is too taboo, since that's the case, I won't force you."

Lin Jinyu actually sneered in her heart, cupped her hands at Jiamu and said, "It's getting late, so Jinyu won't bother grandma to rest, and will visit grandma with her younger sister when she has time."

Mother Jia nodded, knowing that Jinyu was displeased by what the second daughter-in-law said, so she didn't stay any longer, and ordered people to take Lin Jinyu and Lin Daiyu to look for Lin Ruhai, but Jia Baoyu unexpectedly didn't yell nonsense. Lin Jinyu had expected it, but Lin Jinyu didn't know that Jia Baoyu hated Lin Daiyu in every possible way, but he didn't dare to say a word, because Jia Zheng was at home, and he, the phoenix, feared nothing but his father. Jia Zheng, not to mention Lin Ruhai, felt uncomfortable when he saw Lin Ruhai, he didn't dare to look into his eyes, he just felt like he could eat him alive, so he could only look at Lin Daiyu away with reluctant eyes. walking figure.

After Lin Jinyu and Lin Daiyu left, Mother Jia also dismissed Mrs. Wang and others, and had a few words with Wang Xifeng who remained behind.

Mother Jia was leaning against the cushion, Wang Xifeng held her fist lightly on Mother Jia's shoulders, and smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, old lady, and the second wife doesn't mean anything else. Cousin Lin is a scholar, so he's a bit more disciplined."

Mother Jia snorted softly: "Looking at it, I don't know what your good aunt is planning. When she sees me picking up Daiyu, she wants to bring people from Xue's family. What kind of talent show? I've lived for so many years, but I've never heard of it being the daughter of a merchant." Can also draft."

After all, Aunt Xue was also Wang Xifeng's real aunt, so she couldn't say anything, so she could only comfort Jia Mu.

"I originally thought that Baoyu and Yu'er had a blind date at the same age, and their family backgrounds were about the same. It would be the best to get closer, but you have also seen that the Lin family didn't have that idea, but your aunt, you are too ridiculous , It's such an idea." The more Jia Mu thought about it, the angrier she became, she just wished she could call Mrs. Wang to give her a good reprimand, and let her get rid of her foolish thoughts.

Wang Xifeng was shocked, but she didn't dare to think about it, she just said: "I'm afraid the old lady is overthinking." Although she said so, Wang Xifeng was not sure, her aunt even said she was a fool What kind of family is the Lin family? If she can't see it, she can see the merchant's daughter?Not to mention the old lady, even the master would not agree.

"I wish I was thinking too much. Let me tell you a few words. You can keep the Pear Fragrance Garden for me. I won't let my Yu'er come over and have no place to live." Jia Mu turned her face slightly and said to Wang Xifeng .

Wang Xifeng nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the old lady, the granddaughter-in-law of Lixiangyuan will be cleaned every day. As long as sister Lin comes over, she will be sure to live comfortably."

"Well, you are a proper person to do things. I can't be more relieved. You don't have to stay with my old lady anymore. Go and do your work!"

"The grandson's daughter-in-law will leave first, so you can rest." After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng helped her lower body, saluted, and then left.

After Wang Xifeng left, Mother Jia suddenly opened her eyes with half-closed eyes, and sighed, they were all girls brought up by the Wang family. , but somehow it got out that the second girl was going to marry the Xue family, so she made the next best thing and ordered the eldest girl. If she had known this, she would not marry the Wang family, and would not let the Wang family daughter marry her. enter the door.
