The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

It's only the first month of the month, and it's still cold in Beijing.In the room of Jiamu in Rongguo Mansion, a small and exquisite jade-carved incense tripod is emitting fragrance. Jiamu leans on the pillow with bright red and green gold silk python patterns, closing her eyes and thinking.

There are only two girls in the room, mandarin ducks and amber. One is kneeling on the footsteps and beating Jia Mu's legs, while the other is holding a small red lacquered tray with a bucket color tureen inside.

Sister Feng stood aside holding her breath, not daring to disturb Jiamu by making a sound.

"Feng girl, tell me, in Yu'er's heart, is she also blaming me for not scolding Yun girl?"

After a long time, Sister Feng heard Jia Mu asking slightly tiredly.

Sister Feng thought about her words in her heart, sat next to Jiamu, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, old ancestor? You love Sister Lin more than we do, and Sister Lin is the most courteous and loving one." , how did you have a life break with you?"

Mother Jia sighed, opened her eyes, and sat up holding Sister Feng's hand.

"Well... ever since her mother passed away, she has grown up by my side. I love her no less than Baoyu. I thought that the two jade children are my heart and soul. If I stay with her for a long time If you look at me, I will have no shortcomings. This time I went to the south of the Yangtze River, why did I just... oh. I also wronged her that day. It's just Feng girl, how can I go and reprimand Yun girl at that time?"

Sister Feng knew that Mother Jia had been feeling uncomfortable since Daiyu came home.On the one hand, he felt that what Xiangyun said that day had hurt Daiyu, but on the other hand, it was also because Daiyu decisively followed Lin Yan back.

It's hard to say anything else, so Sister Feng had no choice but to take the tea from Yuanyang's hand and serve it to Jiamu, "I said, the old ancestor thought too much. Sister Lin would not be angry with the old ancestor just because of this. If That's really the case, but who has become? Didn't the old lady love her for nothing before?"

Mother Jia shook her head slowly, her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and said in a deep voice, "It's not necessarily that Yu'er is going to give birth to me. Let me see, her brother, I'm afraid she doesn't have us here in her heart." Be a relative."

Sister Feng remained silent. Indeed, if Lin Yan really regarded this place as a relative, he wouldn't have to embarrass Xiangyun in front of Jia's mother.

"Feng girl, let's do this," Jia Mu handed the teacup to Yuanyang, and helped the forehead of Fulian blue embroidered with silver thread, "It will be Yu'er's birthday in a few days. Playing and drinking. I have a few things here, and I have kept them for decades. You can take them to her to play with. And bring your second younger sister, and they will also be friends with Yuer."

From the bottom of my heart, Sister Feng really didn't want to face Lin Yan's smiling face.It's just that Mother Jia ordered, and she couldn't help but say no. Although she was in a dilemma, she had to agree.He forced a laugh and said, "I just said that the ancestors were eccentric, we were just running errands."

Jia Mu sighed with a smile: "You are not young anymore, you are only arguing with sister-in-law and uncle, and you don't feel ashamed to panic."

He also ordered Yuanyang, "Go and find out the set of turquoise carved zodiac signs that I kept, and give it to my eldest sister to play with. I don't want to give it to her stingy mother."

Yuanyang smiled and went out without mentioning it.

Sister Feng had some fun here for a while before she came out.Looking at the lanterns hanging in the corridors on both sides, he exhaled slowly and said to Ping'er who had been waiting outside: "Go back."

Thinking about Daiyu's birthday in two days, Sister Feng didn't dare to delay, but went back to Mrs. Wang the next day, saying that she would take Yingchun sisters out.

Mrs. Wang kept turning the Buddha beads in her hand. After thinking for a while, she smiled a little and said, "This is what it should be. The girl Bao Bao had her birthday before. If your sister Lin didn't have her birthday? Wouldn't this statement make people look down on her?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's too late to make new ones now. You can just take out two sets of your sisters' clothes and give them to Miss Lin. Then ask the chef to prepare the silver silk birthday noodles. Yes. It’s not too much for a child’s family.”

Sister Feng took a deep breath and said with a smile: "What Madam said is that this is all Madam's wish as an aunt. Does Sister Lin still fight more and less?"

After leaving Mrs. Wang's room, I thought that since Mrs. Wang had something to send, it would be bad if Mrs. Xing didn't say anything about it.

So I had to go to Mrs. Xing again.Sure enough, Mrs. Xing first complained about Jia She's extravagant and ignorant frugal words, and then said how difficult she was.

Mrs. Xing talked for a while, asked someone to find some plain materials, and sighed: "This niece of the Lin family is keeping a filial piety now, and it is not easy to wear some gold and jade objects, and I have wronged this one first. Come back, just make it up next time."

Sister Feng asked Ping'er to take the material, suppressed her anger, and said with a smile, "Madam is right."

After returning to her house, Sister Feng ordered someone to put away the clothes material, and only asked Ping'er to follow her into the house to serve her.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Sister Feng sat down on the bed and said with a sneer, "This is really a good aunt. She looks at each one of you so you don't have to go out and lose face."

Ping'er hurriedly opened the curtain to have a look, then lowered the curtain and went to Sister Feng's side, and persuaded in a low voice: "Why does grandma say that? There are so many people with mixed ears, and if people hear it and spread it, there will inevitably be some right and wrong. "

Sister Feng's face was cold, and she didn't get angry in her heart. She just grabbed the phoenix head protruding from her head and shook her head, pulling a few strands of hair, and couldn't help but "ouch". One sound.

Ping'er hurriedly stepped forward to help pick it up, and persuaded: "Grandma, why bother to compete with me? Let me tell you, isn't it over for grandma to prepare a piece of stuff here? Anyway, when the time comes, the gift list will be separated one by one. of."

"Come on, can my things pass the two wives?" Sister Feng twisted her veil and frowned, "If you say that an aunt celebrates a child's birthday, she can see everything. But look, Mrs. Is one of the wife's fabrics new? How can the second wife's clothes have a color that can give sister Lin? Hmph, let's see what else we have here that can match, and then we can match it with two. "

Sister Feng was angry all night here, but who knew it was white.After breakfast on the second day, he brought the Yingchun sisters to Lin Mansion.Unexpectedly, only a daughter-in-law who was in charge of the inner courtyard came out to receive guests in the mansion. When she asked about Lin Yan's brother and sister, she was told, "The uncle took the girl to another courtyard in the suburbs."

Sister Feng had no choice but to leave a few things behind, and took people back to Rongguo Mansion.

Not to mention how Sister Feng returned to the Rong Mansion to return to her life, nor how depressed Jia Mu was and how Baoyu was lost, but just to say that Lin Yan was in the suburban hot spring village, and Daiyu really fell in love with her.

The manor is not big, and what makes Daiyu most fresh are the two huge greenhouses.The windows inside the house are different from ordinary ones, but they are opened very high, almost reaching the ground from the eaves, and they are not covered with ordinary gauze, but extremely thinly worn Mingwa.One room is full of various flowers and potted plants, while the other room is like the farm, with several kinds of vegetables.

Daiyu looked at the big green room, which was full of green colors, and was both novel and surprised. In the winter, how did these rare things grow?

Lin Yan smiled and told her: "There was a long time ago planting vegetables in this winter. "Han Shu? Zhao Xinchen Biography" records: "The Taiguan Garden grows winter onions, leeks, and vegetables, and covers the roof. Burn the fire day and night, and wait for the temperature to grow...'. But it takes a lot of work to do that. Now there is a hot spring near our Zhuangzi, and the ground is warm. I asked someone to come and build a few houses like this, specially designed for winter Plant some fresh vegetables inside. Sister, don’t think these things are common in summer, but they are very rare and rare in winter. If you take them to the capital, people will ask for any amount of money.”

Daiyu smiled mischievously, "My brother is too good at thinking."

Ruo'er ignored so much, took off her thick outer clothes, pulled out a vegetable in the east, and tore off two leaves in the west, making half of her body dirty with mud before she came back with a half-carrying vegetable in her arms.

Daiyu kept laughing, asked someone to take what Lin Ruo was holding, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief herself.Lin Ruo saw a woman carrying vegetables to go out, and hurriedly shouted that she was going to eat in the evening, and got Daiyu's guarantee, so she obediently followed the girl out to change clothes.

Daiyu is not very interested in these vegetables, but rather likes sitting in the greenhouse.When the weather is fine, the fragrance of flowers in the greenhouse is more elegant and natural than those smoked with spices.Daiyu often sits among the flowers with a book of poems for most of the day.

On the twelfth of February, since Lin Ruhai passed away less than a year ago, Daiyu's birthday was not very lively.Lin Yan just asked Ren Duoduo to prepare birthday noodles, and Lin Ruo and Lin Ruo gave Daiyu a very simple birthday.

Daiyu didn't care too much, on the contrary, she felt that this way was more warm than the one that was arranged in a big way.

If it is according to Daiyu and Lin Ruo's thoughts, it would be better to stay in the other courtyard for a few more days.Because the girls in the other courtyard said that in spring, the flowers here will bloom, the willows will be green, and the water will become clearer, which is beautiful.

It's a pity that Lin Yan can't live here for a long time. There are many things in the city that he has to manage secretly.Furthermore, Situ Lan's fasting days were coming to an end soon, and even though Lin Yan didn't want to admit it, he had to say that he was still thinking about it.

So Lin Yan took his sister and nephew to live in a courtyard in the suburbs for more than ten days before returning to the city.

Because the road is a bit far away, when we arrived at the city gate, the sun was already a little westward.The city gate was still very lively, Lin Yan rode a horse and walked on the side of the carriage, Lin Ruo and Daiyu sat in the carriage, stopped at the city gate and waited to enter the city.

It was a coincidence to say that when he entered the city gate, Lin Yan asked Daiyu's car to go in first.The car had just passed the inner city gate, and Lin Yan was about to get on his horse from the outside, when he heard a scream from inside the city gate, and a horse galloped out from the other side of the city like crazy, heading straight for Daiyu. Here comes the carriage.

Because he came from a side street, Lin Yan was at the aisle of the city gate, and when he saw the crazy horse, he was already very close.Although the coachman saw it, but the carriage was heavy and it was not easy to turn around, so he couldn't dodge it for a while.

Lin Yan was shocked, and without thinking too much, he abandoned his horse and ran forward.

Seeing that Crazy Horse had already rushed to the front of the car, a black figure jumped to the front of the car from the other side like an arrow off the string.The coachman didn't see clearly, he saw the man soaring into the sky, and landed on the horse's back like a big roc spreading its wings. In the blink of an eye, the rein was already tightened, and the horse was stopped not far in front of the cart. place.The horse was suddenly under pressure, and the man stood up with a long hiss, and kicked a few times when the front hoof hit the ground, the man still firmly held the rein, and was not thrown out.

Lin Yan's heart was beating wildly. If he had been half a step late, Daiyu and Lin Ruo in the car would have suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

Seeing that the horse gradually calmed down, the man jumped off the horse.When Lin Yan looked at him, he saw that he was about the same age as himself, with dark complexion and clear eyebrows.He was wearing a dark blue robe with white fur with silver flowers all over the ground, and a black brocade belt around his waist.Seeing that the materials of the clothes are all good, they are not matched with jade pendants and other things.The attire is simple, but it is a natural heroic spirit.Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked like he was the son of a high-class family.The color of the clothes, without any accessories, could it be that they are filial?

Without thinking too much, he stabilized his weak legs, stepped forward and cupped his hands at the man and said: "Thank you, brother, for your help. My surname is Lin, I don't know your name?"

The man looked at Lin Yan, raised his hand and bowed back, "You're welcome."

While talking, a group of people chased up chaotically, presumably it was the owner of the horse.Coming closer, the leader is an acquaintance, with a round face and fat eyes, big eyes, not Xue Pan but who?

Xue Pan got a new tall horse today, and rode out triumphantly.Perhaps it was because of the new horse, that horse refused to run forward after a short time on the street, and just kept kicking.Xue Pan had a bad temper, jumped off his horse, and lashed the horse with a whip. The horse broke away from the servant in severe pain and ran away.Xue Pan took his men after him for a long time, and finally caught up at the city gate.

Seeing Lin Yan standing there at a glance, how could Xue Pan care about getting on his horse?He came forward with a smile on his face, and laughed loudly with fists in his arms: "Brother Lin, it's really a fate to meet you from a thousand miles away. You went back that day without saying hello. I want to visit, but I can't be introduced. Go. Unexpectedly, I will see you here today!"

There were quite a few people at the city gate, and besides, Daiyu and Lin Ruo were still in the car. Lin Yan didn't want to quarrel with Xue Pan, so he glanced at him coldly, then turned to the man and said, "I'm here. Lin Yan lives in Ping'an Lane in the middle of the capital. Thank you for your kindness, and Lin will write it down here."

The man looked stern, nodded slightly, threw down the rein in his hand, turned and walked towards the other side of the alley.It's just that, in Lin Yan's opinion, this posture is a bit out of line with his age.He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Pan: "Uncle Xue, you have taken care of your own horse."

The servant at the back cleverly brought Lin Yan's horse over, Lin Yan turned over and shouted to the coachman, "Go home!"

He ignored Xue Pan and left with his sister and nephew.

Lin Yan was thinking about going back to see Daiyu and Lin Ruo soon, but he didn't notice that on the side of the alley inside the city gate, a man from just now was standing with his hands behind his back, and behind him two stalkers shouted: "Young Master..."

The man waved his hand, but there was a little bit of regret in his heart—just now in front of the carriage, he clearly heard an exclamation, although it was extremely low, it was not difficult to hear it soft and tactful.While the car was turning, the curtain at the front moved slightly, but immediately he saw only a snow-white corner, vaguely embroidered with a pattern of folded plum blossoms.

For the first time in his life, he actually felt that his eyesight was not good.
