The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

Lin Yan hurriedly led the people back to the Lin Mansion, and after entering the door, the carriage came to a steady stop, Lin Ruo jumped down first, pulled Lin Yan's sleeve and shouted: "Second Uncle, Second Uncle! That man just now is very skilled. It's amazing! Such a fierce horse stopped in one fell swoop!"

Lin Yan saw the excited expression on his face, he was angry and funny at the same time, his heart was in his throat just now, could it be that he was worrying for nothing?

The following girls all came over, Hong Ling raised the curtain, Dai Yu helped Xue Yan's hand out of the car, and when she looked up, she saw Lin Yan flicking Lin Ruo's forehead, Lin Ruo was covering her head yell.

"Brother!" Daiyu didn't care to adjust the cloak on her body, and hurried over to see how Lin Ruo was doing.Seeing his big eyes full of grievances, he couldn't help but blame, "Why did brother bully Ruo'er?"

Seeing her snow-white face, Lin Yan frowned slightly, and asked with a smile, "Did you get scared just now?"

Daiyu recalled the thrilling scene at the gate of the city, patted her heart, and said in shock: "But I was scared. I have grown up so much, and I have never seen such a thrilling thing. But Ruo'er, I don't feel scared at all."

Lin Yan shook his head and smiled, "Take care of him, a naughty brat."

He took Lin Ruo with one hand and sent Daiyu back to the yard.

Here, Daiyu watched the maids packing up their bundles and clothes, and remembered that they had brought back a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and ordered someone to deliver them to the kitchen.

Wang Momo came in from the outside, listened to Daiyu's assignment, and said with a smile: "You still use the girl to think about these small things? As soon as you came back, you have already sent it over. There is something I need to tell the girl."

Daiyu Nahan, Wang Momo called a little girl to pick up the things that Sister Feng sent that day, "This is from the second grandma Lian of Rongfu the day before the girl's birthday. It is said that it is the old lady over there." Ladies give the girls auspicious things."

Daiyu lowered her eyes when she heard this.Thinking about what happened in the Rong Mansion that day, she still feels uncomfortable.It's not that she hates Xiangyun so much, it's just that on such an occasion, no matter how good a sister you are, you won't be able to compare yourself to an actor.In Xiangyun's mind, who did she think she was?

Daiyu asked herself, she never felt sorry for Xiangyun at all, why did she always target herself?

In fact, Daiyu wanted to ignore one thing in her heart, that is, when Xiangyun was making fun of herself, others did not speak.Although it didn't echo as in the dream, it was enough to make her feel chills.Whether it is the old lady or Baoyu, she has been with her since she was a child.A close relative, a confidant, but no one to say a word for her.

She also didn't care to look at the small beeswax bergamot bonsai, mahogany open-carved veiled kang screen, clothes and longevity noodles presented by the little girl. Daiyu just asked people to put them away and not mention them.

Here, Lin Yan settled down his sister and nephew, and sat in the outer study, listening to Lin Cheng report about the affairs of the mansion these days.Before finishing a cup of hot tea, Jixiang, a confidant outside, came in.Seeing his expression, Lin Yan knew something was wrong.

Lin Cheng winked very much. When Lin Ruhai was around, he secretly told him to do everything according to Lin Yan's orders.Seeing Jixiang standing at the door, he hurriedly finished his business and left.

"Master, Mr. Zuixianlou Shi sent a message from outside, saying that he has something to ask of you."

"Shi Qing?" Lin Yan was puzzled, "What about Zuixian Tower?"

Ji Xiang replied: "As far as I think, maybe not. The uncle has been outside for more than ten days, and I didn't dare to be idle. Not to mention Zuixianlou, even the other two halls, no one went to make trouble."

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, "Understood, you go and ask someone to pass the word that I will arrive at night."

Jixiang agreed and went out.

Lin Yan picked up the cup again, looked at the clear tea in the cup, and thought that among the people under him, Shi Qing had always been an honest man, he didn't like to talk much, and he didn't have much contact with others, which was an easy way. of.What did he ask of himself?

It was useless to think too much, after dinner in the evening, Lin Yan changed into inconspicuous clothes, only called the young servant Chang Le'er and a long follower, and left the Lin Mansion through the back door, and went to Zuixianlou.

When Shi Qing heard about Lin Yan's arrival, he suddenly stood up from his chair and walked out quickly to meet him.

At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and there are many fruit trees planted in the backyard of Zuixianlou. It is not yet spring, but the dead branches are still slanting. The scene of apricot delivery.

A room in the corner was lit with faint yellow candlelight.Shi Qing stood in the courtyard watching for a while, then slowly walked up the steps, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The clear and pleasant voice unique to teenagers sounded.

Shi Qing went in and saw that Lin Yan was sitting at the round table, wearing an ordinary blue robe.In his hand was a black silver heart-changing pot, with two smiling eyes, "This time the pear blossom white is more mellow, tell me to leave two jars behind, and I will give it away."

Shi Qing responded in a low voice, walked up to Lin Yan with his head down, "Master, how are you these days?"

Lin Yan looked at Shi Qing standing there, somewhat at a loss, lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Of course I'm not bad. I heard from Ji Xiang that you sent me a message? Rules, do you still remember?"

"Master," Shi Qing hurriedly raised his head, and said anxiously, "I was confused for a while, and violated the rules, and I will just punish you. I don't dare to do it again. It's just..."

"Just what? Just tell me, I'll listen." Lin Yan's voice was still gentle, but there was no warmth in it.

Shi Qing didn't care to think about anything else, calmed down, lowered his hands and said respectfully.

Lin Yan didn't listen, but after hearing a few words, he was furious, and with a "snap", he dropped the heart-changing pot in his hand to Shi Qing's feet.

Shi Qing was startled, and hurriedly knelt down.

Lin Yan stepped up to Shi Qing, lowered his body and asked coldly, "You mean, your cousin is here now?"

When it came to the latter, he almost said it word by word through gritted teeth.

Shi Qing had never heard Lin Yan speak like this before, and when he raised his head, he saw that Lin Yan's face had lost the gentleness and elegance of the past, his eyes were cold, his expression was stern, and he shivered for no reason.

"Say!" Lin Yan shouted in a low voice.

Shi Qing shivered, "Yes..."

Lin Yan straightened up and took a breath, "Auspicious..."

The servant who had been standing in the corner as the background understood auspiciously and walked out.

Shi Qing suddenly realized, what is this place?Although Lin Yan never told him the truth, he himself was not stupid. It was clearly a restaurant business, but the booklets he secretly compiled were mostly things he couldn't quite understand.On a certain day, what a certain person came here to do and say, all are recorded.Especially this Zuixianlou is the largest restaurant in Beijing, the dishes inside are exquisite, and there is also the treasure of the town shop, pear flower white, many officials or children of Beijing come to have a banquet.Whenever this happens, I have a lot more things to organize.Even if Shi Qing didn't understand, he could secretly guess something.

Such a place, no matter who the master behind it is, cannot be easily entered by people.How can I be so confused?

Seeing that Jixiang pushed the door and was about to go out, a thought flashed through Shi Qing's mind like lightning. With a cry of "ah", he rushed forward to Lin Yan's feet, "Master, I can't, sir!"

Lin Yan looked at him coldly, and waved to Jixiang.Ji Xiang stood behind the door and waited again.

"Master, my elder brother doesn't know what's going on here. He's stupefied with his studies, and he hasn't come out of the house for the past few days. Sir, please forgive him..."

Lin Yan laughed instead, "He's stupefied with his studies? How smart do you think you are? I'm just saying that you've made some progress after following me for the past two years, but who knows that you've been fooled! How can you let outsiders come here with more brains? What do you think is this place?"

As he spoke, he kicked Shi Qing away.

This kick hit Shi Qing's heart, and Lin Yan was so angry that he kicked Shi Qing so hard that blood oozes from the corner of Shi Qing's mouth.

Shi Qing was stunned, Lin Yan looked completely different from his usual frail scholar.Don't dare to delay, I'm busy and kneel down again.

The room fell silent for a moment, Shi Qing didn't dare to speak, only the sound of candles cracking occasionally could be heard.

Lin Yan is rubbing his forehead here, how many ideas have passed through his mind.It's just that Shi Qing was brought up by him alone. Although what he did this time was not in compliance with the rules, it is not impossible for him to make amends.

"You said your brother, what's his name?"

"Go back to uncle, Shi Xiu."

Lin Yan leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and thought for a while, "Get up and ask your brother to come over and show me."

Shi Qing was overjoyed, hurriedly got up and ran outside.

Ji Xiang stood at the door watching, and muttered softly, "I don't know what's good!"

...The dividing line of the plot, the small attack is about to appear...

After dealing with Brother Shi Qing's matter, there has already been a first change outside.Panicked in Lin Yan's heart, he left Jixiang in the Zuixiang Tower, told him to watch here for now, and went back to the Lin Mansion first.

His own yard is in the southeast corner of Lin Mansion, which is already the outermost one.Lin Yan lives here, firstly because Daiyu is still in the inner courtyard, and secondly for the convenience of getting in and out.

When I entered the yard, I saw that there was still light coming from the house.Lin Yan coughed, and Bi Luo heard the voice inside, and hurriedly opened the curtain to welcome her out.Seeing the uneasy expression on Lin Yan's face, he couldn't help wondering.But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly called the little girl to bring hot tea, "Master, let's moisten it first. It's still very cold tonight. We don't have hot springs here compared to other courtyards, but you still need to take a bath." ?”

Lin Yan nodded, "You can ask someone to bring the bathtub in. You don't have to wait on me, go back to sleep, and clean it up in the morning."

Bi Luo agreed to go out, and sure enough, not long after, a few burly girls brought in a bathtub and filled it with hot water.Bi Luo left the copper pot full of hot water in the house, and went out with the maids on her own.

Lin Yan took off his clothes and jumped into the bathtub. The warm water soaked his body, making him feel indescribably comfortable.But, it's also very tiring.

When Situ Lan arrived, he saw such an awe-inspiring picture - Lin Yan was sitting in the bathtub, only his head and neck and two curved arms could be seen. Judging from this posture, he probably had no clothes on.His head was tilted to the side, a few strands of wet hair stuck to one side of his cheek, and his usually smiling eyes were securely closed at this moment, and he could tell he was asleep at a glance.

Situ Lan didn't care about the beauty in front of her, so she hurriedly walked over and called softly, "Zifei? Zifei!"

Lin Yan opened his eyes and saw that it was Situ Lan, and closed his eyes again with a "hmm".

Fearing that he might have caught a cold, Situ Lan stretched out her hand to touch the water, and it was cold to the touch.Surprised, he hurriedly put his forehead against Lin Yan's and tried it, only to feel a little hot.At the moment, regardless of other things, he pushed Lin Yan hard again, "Zifei, wake up, soak in cold water and then make trouble again!"

Lin Yan was extremely tired today. First he rushed back from outside the city, and then he was shocked at the gate of the city, and he was angry again at night. The eyelid weighs a thousand catties, and it can't be lifted no matter what.

Standing up unsteadily from the bucket, he casually picked up the dry towel hanging by the side of the tub and wiped his body before stepping out of the tub.

Situ Lan watched Lin Yan put on the jacket in a daze, fastened the belt again, and then walked towards the bed, holding his nose and helping him, "Zifei, open your eyes slowly. , Knock carefully."

Lin Yan pushed him away, tied himself on the bed, and waved to Situ Lan, "You go back, I have to take care of myself."

Situ Lan felt aggrieved, rushed over to squeeze out a small space, pulled down a brocade quilt from her feet, and said with a smile: "I also cultivate my spirit. These days, I lie down when it gets dark in Huguo Temple." Hearing sutras before dawn is actually more tiring than being at home."

Lin Yan let out a "huh", turned his head, and forced his eyes to look at Situ Lan, "When did you come back?"

"The first one." Situ Lan pressed his forehead against Lin Yan's, "You just caught a cold. I've never seen you so careless, soaking your head in cold water in the middle of winter. Don't wait to take medicine, soup, etc. What?"

After being disturbed by him, Lin Yan's drowsiness gradually subsided, so he talked to Situ Lan about the experience of the day.

When Situ Lan heard him say that another man held Crazy Horse with his bare hands, and said, "My age is about the same as mine, and he looks less than twenty. He was born with a bit of dignity, and I am afraid he is also a son of a noble family", he couldn't help it. Soaked in vinegar, Yin said, "Such people are caught in the city, but they may not necessarily come from aristocratic families."

As he spoke, he wrapped himself in a quilt and moved towards Lin Yan.

Lin Yan watched him move over little by little, and the gloom in his heart all night had long since disappeared. He curled the corners of his lips and said in a low voice, "Okay, don't move. I can't tell you again, tomorrow I still have things to go to the small house."
