The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

Baoyu was still excitedly planning to go to the warm pavilion with Baochai and Daiyu to talk, but unexpectedly, the attackers from outside hurried over and said that Jia Zheng called him. down.

When Jia Mu saw this, she was unhappy at first, put her arm around Baoyu, and asked, "Why is your master called Baoyu now?"

Xiren hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Daiyu involuntarily, "Go back to the old lady, I heard from the boy in the second door that it is Uncle Lin who is talking at the master's place. The master asked Baoyu to accompany the guest."

"It turns out that's the case." Mother Jia felt relieved and said with a smile, "What's the matter with me? Good boy, go quickly. Your cousin of the Lin family is promising, so go and talk to him. Come back again .”

Baoyu didn't dare not go, so he could only rub against the outside step by step.When he came to the door, he took a peek at Daiyu, and saw that she was leaning slightly to listen to Xichun's words.I don't know what I heard, the corner of my mouth is pursed into a smile.

Today Daiyu only wears her hair in a bun. Looking from Baoyu's side, she can see a small bun on the side of her head, with a few long hair hanging down her cheeks.A string of extremely exquisite sapphire string pendants is pinned in the hair, and another hairpin inlaid with beads is inserted in the bun.The pendant in the shape of a drop of green jade by her ear swayed slightly with her movements.Just sitting there, she has a more romantic and timeless charm than others.

Daiyu seemed to have noticed Baoyu's gaze, and looked back at him, her gaze was as clear as autumn water.Baoyu felt sour and almost shed tears.Since Sister Lin returned to Yangzhou last year, she had only seen her a few times, but she couldn't be as close as before.Even when two people talk, there is never a time when they are not accompanied by the crowd.Since when did it become so difficult to talk to Sister Lin?

Xiren followed Baoyu and saw his expression clearly.Gritting his teeth secretly in his heart, he turned his body slightly to block the sight of Jiamu and others, pushed Baoyu quietly, and said in a low voice, "Master has been calling there for a long time, second master, hurry up!"

Baoyu had no choice but to follow the attackers in a hurry.

Here, Lin Yan and Jia She and Jia Zheng had to deal with each other for a while, then got up and went outside.Jia Lian also felt restrained in front of his father and uncle, so he quickly got up and said, "I took Cousin Lin out. Cousin Xue's family also placed wine in the Lixiangyuan, preparing to invite the male guests of our house."

Jia Amnesty then said: "Lian'er, Zifei is still young, you should take care of him more in the past. The brother of the Xue family is a rough man, don't run into Zifei anymore."

Jia Lian quickly agreed, and personally led Lin Yan to Lixiangyuan.Here, Lin Yan had been out for half a cup of tea before Baoyu came in slowly.When Jia Zheng saw him, he became angry and shouted, "Where have you been hanging around? I told you to come out to entertain guests, just dawdle!"

Baoyu was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "It wasn't intentional. Because I came in front of the old lady, sister Lin just arrived, so I couldn't help but say a few more words."

Jia Zheng snorted, "Now that Zifei has gone to Lixiangyuan, don't act like a shadow wall here, go over quickly and accompany Zifei with your second brother Lian."

Baoyu responded nonchalantly, and then ran out in a hurry when Jia Zheng yelled, "Go soon."

Because Jia's mother said that this year is Baochai's 15th birthday, and it can be regarded as the age of Ji, so it should not be ignored.He also personally gave out money to Sister Feng and asked her to take care of Baochai's birthday.Sister Feng looked at the 20 taels of silver given by Jia Mu and worried for two days. This amount of money, if calculated up and down in the house, would not even be enough for a meal.birthday?How to do it?

In the end, I added more money from the public by myself, and finally managed it.Since Jia's mother opened her mouth, no outsiders were invited, and the masters and sons of Rongning and Ningfu still wanted to come.Then there is the business outside Xue's house, maybe someone wants to come, because the courtyard of Lixiangyuan is relatively large and the room is spacious, so Sister Feng discussed with Aunt Xue, and set up two tables of wine from Lixiangyuan.

Since Jia Lian met King Zhongshun in the Lin Mansion last time, his attitude towards Lin Yan has become more and more intimate.The two walked side by side to the Pear Fragrance Courtyard, and saw that it was really lively inside.Not only was there a banquet, but there was also a small theater troupe who actually set up a stage in the courtyard, dressed up and sang happily.

Lin Yan glanced at it, it was "Thinking of the Fantastic", the little nun Chen Miaochang had a graceful figure, wearing a wide-sleeved black dress, and her movements seemed to be a little like a fairy.

When Xue Pan heard that Jia Lian was coming, he rushed out to meet him, and saw a young man standing beside Jia Lian.The eyebrows are clear and handsome, the figure is as tall as a bamboo, a light yellow gown, a jade belt of the same color around the waist, and a blue silk silk robe with a fringe on the outside. It is not the beauty I saw last time, who is it?

Seeing Xue Pan staring at Lin Yan stupidly, Jia Lian covered his mouth and coughed, and said, "Cousin Lin, this is Miss Bao's elder brother, Xue Pan. The current head of the Xue family in Jinling."

Then he rushed to Xue Pan and said, "This is my cousin from the Lin family, who is famous now. It was the emperor's decree to inherit the title of captain of Qingche. Why don't you come and see him?"

To say that Jia Lian did wink a bit.This introduction clearly showed that Lin Yan's status was higher than that of Xue Pan's.Lin Yan knew something in his heart, raised his eyebrows lightly, and glanced at Jia Lian.

Xue Pan couldn't hear it.He is a person with one intestine to the bottom, and at this time, he accidentally ran into the beauty he met that day, and he was so happy that he scratched his head and didn't know what to say.

Hearing Jia Lian's words, he clapped his palms together and laughed loudly: "So we are considered relatives. Come, Brother Lin, come over to have a drink and watch a show."

Lin Yan took two steps forward, dodging Xue Pan's big hand without a trace.

Jia Lian knew Xue Pan's temperament, and was afraid that Lin Yan would be unhappy if he made a mistake.Quickly asked: "How many tables are there in the yard here? Who else is there?"

"Ah? Ah, Eldest Brother Erzhen and Brother Rong are all here in Dongfu. Second Brother Lian and Brother Lin, please sit inside quickly. Don't freeze in this cold weather."

He bluffed and brought people into the living room, and sure enough Jia Zhen and the others were there.Lin Yan and them had only met once, and it was inevitable that they would be courteous to each other right now.

Lin Yan thought that he was just here with Daiyu, so he went back after spending half a day there.Just sitting down, I feel my heart burning.Nothing else, Xue Pan's life-or-death thing was actually going up and down, looking at him with perfect eyes.

Lin Yan was very irritable, but his face was calm. He turned his body slightly and asked Jia Lian in a low voice, and Jia Lian said it with a smile.

Xue Pan stared blankly at Lin Yan, feeling that every move of the little brother of the Lin family, even if he was drinking a cup of tea, was extremely attractive.Seeing him talking and joking with Jia Lian in a low voice, he couldn't help but move over to him. Before he could speak, Lin Yan picked up his tea and drank it again.

Xue Pan searched his brains here and wanted to have a few words with Lin Yan, but he just heard what others said, so he really couldn't say it.In a hurry, it was said that Baoyu had arrived.Xue Pan was overjoyed and jumped up to pick it up.

Lin Yan was bored watching Jia Zhen and the others chatting and laughing in the room, playing with the teacup in his hand.The man from the Jia family is really interesting.One by one, just looking at the appearance is good, but they are not useful.Apart from counting on the girls in the family to cling to the powerful, they just want to speculate like they are in a daze.Look at Baoyu over there who is shaking his head while listening to the play, and Jia Zhenjiarong who is staring at Xiaodan, who is better than whom?

If it is said that Lin Yan had some hesitation about the relationship between Baoyu and Daiyu before, now it seems that Baoyu is really not a good match for Daiyu.Not only Daiyu, but also Baochai Xiangyun are not worthy.To put it bluntly, he is just a child who hasn't grown up.Always clamoring that daughters should be pity for being noble, but never thinking about what is really useful to the sisters.Maybe he really has a sincere heart for Daiyu, but if this sincerity can only make the girl shed tears and die for him, then Lin Yan would rather cut off his sincerity.

Here Lin Yan was absent-mindedly dealing with Jia Zhen and Jia Lian and the others, while over there Daiyu and Baochai were talking in the Nuan Pavilion.

After leaving Jia Mu and other elders, the little girls really let go a lot.Xiangyun and Daiyu hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they couldn't help leaning over to her and asking questions.Daiyu talked to her with her lips pursed at first, and gradually she heard her asking her brother, whether she really won the exam a long time ago, and how she usually talks.

Out of the corner of Daiyu's eyes, she saw Baochai who was sitting beside Xiangyun, who looked like she was holding a walnut leisurely in the small tongs. She blinked and said in surprise, "It's really strange. I only saw it today after I returned to Beijing." Sister Yun? You are well-informed, and you actually know about my brother."

Xiangyun Dalala said: "Sister Bao and the others have seen each other? As soon as I came here, Sister Bao and Brother Ai told me. Sister Lin, please tell me what this cousin of the Lin family looks like It’s a pity that we can’t easily meet foreigners, or I really want to see, according to Sister Bao, Sister Lin and Sister Lin are really like a brother and sister.” Listening to Xiangyun’s brainless words, followed Her Cui Ling wanted to intervene in a hurry, but she didn't dare.

Anger gradually rose in Daiyu's heart, she glanced at Baochai, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but unfortunately her eyes were cold, "Sister Yun joked. Sister Bao is usually the most prudent and courteous, how could she be in the boudoir? What about Chinese and foreign men? Besides, it’s not something we can comment on at will.”

Baochai secretly resented Xiangyun's quick talk, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiangyun's cheek, and said with a smile: "Yun girl is the most outspoken, but it's just a girl's family, so she should be more prudent. This is for us, the sisters are all It's not an outsider. If others hear what you say, they will inevitably not add fuel to it, you, you really should change your temper."

Then he sincerely said to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, I don't have any other intentions to come to Sister Yun. It's just for my sister's happiness, so please don't be angry."

Daiyu smiled, "What Sister Bao said, I naturally won't argue with Sister Yun. I just reminded her, why did it seem to annoy Sister Yun because of it? Don't worry, Sister, today is Sister Yun." Good day, I dare not be angry again."

Yingchun Xichun sat there and listened to the two of them answering back and forth, both of them lowered their eyes and did not speak.Tanchun thought for a while, then broke the conversation with a smile.

Xiangyun was upset when Daiyu stabbed her with a few words.When he was about to refute it back, Baochai gently touched his feet underneath, curled his lips, turned his head and stopped talking.

Not long after, Mother Jia sent someone to ask them to go out to listen to the opera, so Daiyu deliberately got up a little late and was the last.Xichun walked beside her, looked at Baochai and Xiangyun who were warmly holding hands in front of her, and said to Daiyu in a very low voice, "Sister Lin, don't be angry."

Daiyu also lowered her voice and laughed, "I'm not angry, but I just can't get used to Yun girl's big and distorted appearance. Usually, it doesn't matter if the sisters joke around, but what's the matter with my brother?"

"Two days ago, the old lady came out with 20 taels of silver, saying that she would celebrate Sister Bao's birthday, and some people said that she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable. Sister, look, the skirt and jacket that Sister Bao is wearing today are all old ladies. Yes. She'd be a delight."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word, 20 taels of silver for her birthday?She can't afford this face.

Talking all the way, all the way to Jia's mother.Jia Mu sat at the top, with a pear wood waist table in front of her.

When Jia Mu saw Daiyu, she ordered her to sit by her side, and the other side was naturally reserved for Baoyu.Xiangyun sat next to Baochai on the other table below.But in this way, it seems that Daiyu is celebrating her birthday today.

Daiyu declined and said, "I came here today to celebrate Sister Bao's birthday, so Sister Bao should be sitting here. How can Yu'er be so pretentious?"

Before Jia's mother could speak, Baochai hurriedly got up and laughed, "Sister Lin is also an outsider. It's just for us to join in the fun. How can the host and guest just talk? My sister just sits."

Mother Jia nodded her head in approval: "Young girl Bao really acts generously."

Then he smiled at Aunt Xue and said, "My aunt is well educated."

Aunt Xue was originally sitting at the other table with Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang. When she first saw that Jia Mu had given up Daiyu, she was naturally a little unhappy—this partiality is too obvious. Whose birthday is it?

Hearing what Jiamu said, she could only smile and say, "The old lady is too modest, Miss Lin and Miss Er are also good."

Mother Jia asked Daiyu to sit by her side, but Daiyu refused to be rude, and only said to sit with sisters Yingchun, so she moved Yingchun's three little tables under Jiamu.

All the banquets have been set up, and the fruits and dishes are all good, but in Jia's house, it's not surprising.Because the banquet hadn't started yet, Mother Jia asked Daiyu how her daily life was and how she was raising her mother, and Daiyu told them one by one.Mother Jia heard her well, so she nodded and stopped talking.

Then let the mandarin duck go out to call Baoyu, and after a while, the mandarin duck came back and said that Baoyu had gone to Lixiangyuan. Jia Mu looked at Daiyu and said with a smile, "it seems that Baoyu and your brother are still on good terms. Although they always said they didn't want to make friends with others , I was born to be able to talk with your brother."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "Exactly."

Speaking here, the small theater troupe invited outside asked if the banquet was open, and respectfully invited all the ladies and girls to order plays.

Jia's mother asked Baochai to order first, but Baochai refused very much before ordering.But they are all lively dramas, which can be seen at a glance to cater to Jia Mu's preferences.

Daiyu doesn't like to listen to opera very much, she only talks quietly with Xichun.

After singing Baochai's "Mountain Gate" on the stage, they stopped first.Baochai got up and gave some wine to each table.

Jia Mu said with a smile: "You sit down, today you are the birthday star, it should be your sisters who respect you. Three girls."

Tanchun hurriedly got up, took the warm wine handed over by the mandarin duck, poured a big glass full, brought it to Baochai's lips with his own hands, and said with a smile: "This is what the old lady said to respect sister Bao, sister It's about to drink up."

Baochai had no choice but to drink.What Tanchun used was a sky-blue lotus leaf cup with crab claw pattern, which looked small, but actually contained a lot of wine.After one cup, Baochai's white, tender and smooth face flushed a little, making her look more charming and charming than a flower.

Jia Mu was bored after sitting for a long time, so she ordered those little opera singers to come over for fun.Because Xiaodan was born well, the clown spoke cleverly and made people laugh. Jia Mu liked it very much, so she called Sister Feng: "Go, ask someone to take them out to eat something, and let someone reward you with a few pennies. At a young age, No wonder it's for them."

Sister Feng got up to answer, and suddenly looked at Xiaodan's face carefully, and smiled and wanted to take him down.Shi Xiangyun also opened his eyes wide, pointed at Xiao Dan and said with a smile: "This one looks like Sister Lin."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was startled.Before she could react in time in the future, Daiyu's face sank and she sneered: "I didn't know that in Miss Shi's eyes, I was like an actor!"

When Sister Feng saw that the words were wrong, she hurried forward and said, "Sister Yun has always been careless, so don't be angry, Sister Lin. I'll teach her to toast to her sister to make amends when she comes back."

Daiyu only looked at Xiangyun with her beautiful eyes, Xiangyun bit her lip, her eye circles were already red.Baochai hurriedly pulled her arm, and winked at her: "Yun girl, why don't you hurry up and tell Sister Lin that you don't mean it?"

When Jia's mother said nothing, Daiyu sneered and said, "Whether it's intentional or unintentional, even though I have no parents, I can't be abused like this."

Said, stood up.

Mother Jia's complexion was not good, and she was also somewhat dissatisfied with Xiangyun.Although she loves Xiangyun, the grandnephew of her natal family, she is not comparable to Daiyu.

Seeing that Daiyu was very angry, Baochai hurriedly got up and came over to persuade her, "My dear sister, it's just a joke between sisters. Don't be angry."

He turned back and said, "Sister Yun, why don't you come here soon?"

Xiangyun was very wronged, turned his head away with red eyes.

Seeing her like this, Daiyu was even more puzzled amidst her anger.Lier has known Xiangyun since she was a child, but every time Xiangyun arrives, she lives and eats with her.Since when did Xiangyun target himself so much?

"Sister Lin is the lady of the Hou family, and I'm a poor girl. I shouldn't have teased my sister. My lord sister spared me a lot this time." Xiang Yun hindered Baochai's frequent winks, and Cui Ling sneered behind her. Gently tugging at the corner of his clothes, he forced himself to speak.

Daiyu felt bitter.Seeing that Jiamu and the others were silent, they felt a little cold.I can be regarded as a decent granddaughter in this mansion. Could it be that I have been degraded by others, can they be honored?

"I'm afraid that girl's words are uttering the wrong words. The one who doesn't dare to make a joke of the girl should be my sister."

A clear voice came from outside, but it was Lin Yan who arrived.
