The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

Lin Yan rode on the horse with a very happy smile on his lips.Thinking about what he did in the Rong Mansion just now, it must be called a good singing and reciting, right?I don't care what the girl's outcome is, but Jia Baoyu alone may not have a good fruit to eat.

Jia Zheng, to put it bluntly, has an upright temper and is not ordinary. From Lin Yan's point of view, he really overestimated his character.Regardless of other things, just say that in today's world, there is a difference between the old and the young.When the old emperor was in power, no matter how much he doted on the second or third princes, the throne was still passed on to his son-in-law, who is the current emperor?The royal family is like this, let alone the common people?

Jia's mansion is not so good, but the eldest son inherited the title, but he can't live in the Rongxitang.Take a look at the place where Jia She lives, along the southeast corner of Rongguo Mansion is a long and narrow courtyard, next to it is the South Stable, and in the southwest corner opposite, there are several famous nurses in Rongguo Mansion.This mother Jia's eccentricity is unusual, and Jia Amnesty's endurance is also unusual.

As for Jia Zheng, how many years has he been living in Rongxitang?If he was not polite, then Jia Zheng would be wronged, and Jia's mother would not agree.But if you say that he is polite, how can he close his eyes and get dizzy, pretending that he doesn't know who should live in Rongxitang?

So according to Lin Yan, Jia Zheng is the best at pretending, pretending to be an uncommon businessman who only reads sage books.It's just a bit too pretentious, so that anyone who mentions the second master of Rongguo Mansion will first think of some pedantry.

This kind of person wants to save face the most.What seemed to be persuasion but actually ignited the fire, Lin Yan was sure, he would definitely check Baoyu carefully.Regardless of whether or not Jia Baoyu has read those West Chamber meetings and the like at this time, anyway, he has definitely not read much of the classics and history collections.At such a time again, it's hard not to be taught a lesson.

It was almost dusk, the sky was blue, and the red sun hanging in the western sky dyed the large clouds into golden yellow.The afterglow cast on Lin Yan's body reflected his fair face like a pearl shining brightly like jade.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Yan decided not to go back to the mansion.He turned his head and told the people who were following him: "Leave only two auspicious Chang Le'er to follow, and the others go back to the house first."

The evening wind with a little warmth blows from among the willow flowers, and there is a hint of sweet fragrance in it.The tip of Lin Yan's nose wrinkled invisibly, and he recognized the fragrance of Sophora japonica.

Immediately in a good mood, Lin Yan simply got off the horse, and Chang Leer who was behind took the reins with a wink.

The prosperity of Beijing does not let Yangzhou. Although it is dusk at this time, there are still many stalls on both sides of the street.Department stores eat and eat, all kinds of food.

Lin Yan strolled there with great interest.He was born to be very good-looking. Although he was dressed in white without decoration, the material was of good quality.What's more, with a smile on his face, he looks more peaceful than those rich children with their eyes above their heads.

There are all kinds of small noodle figures on the small stall in front of you, there are Magu's birthday wishes, there are also those of Fu Lu Shou Sanxian, and there are little tigers and rabbits, all of which are lifelike.

Lin Yan looked interesting, and couldn't help but picked up one from the stall, looked around, and asked, "Old man, how much is this thing?".

The stall owner was a thin old man in his fifties, with a dark complexion and rough busy hands.He raised his eyes to look at Lin Yan, and grinned: "Master likes this? It's not expensive, it's ten dollars a piece. If the bigger ones next to you are fifteen dollars. The old man can still do it." According to the figure, it only costs 25 yuan."

"Oh?" Lin Yan was rarely interested, and asked with a smile, "The old man can pinch it out according to me?"

"Yes, yes."

Xu Shi saw that Lin Yan was easy to talk, and the stall owner quickly took out several colors of dough from the box, looked at Lin Yan up and down, kneaded, kneaded, kneaded, and lifted. Then there is a general shape of the head and body.Then use a small bamboo knife to dexterously point, cut, engrave, and draw on the top, and add colored faces such as hair, eyes, and mouth from time to time.After a while, a small noodle man in white was sure enough.

Lin Yan took it over and looked around, and sure enough, he was somewhat similar to himself.He signaled Chang Le'er to pay the money, and when he was about to leave, Lin Yan's heart suddenly moved, and he turned around and asked with a smile: "Old man, if someone you have never met before, maybe you can figure it out?"

"Master, you were joking. How do you pinch this? If there is a picture to follow, it will be fine."

Lin Yan thought for a while, then shook his head and smiled, "Where did I find the portrait at this time? Let's talk about it later."

Holding the dough in his hand, he was about to go forward, when he turned around, he saw a gorgeously decorated carriage at the intersection, the curtain on the carriage was opened, and a smiling face appeared inside, "Zifei!"

Lin Yan looked around, and couldn't help laughing, why did he come to this street?This street was originally one of the busiest areas in central Beijing, because the Qingping Alley behind it was mostly houses of officials and eunuchs, and Situ Lan's palace was on the other side of the alley facing the street.

"Zifei, get in the car." Situ Lan yelled again while holding the car door.

Lin Yan turned his head and said a few words to the old man in a low voice, then slowly walked over, got into the car and said with a smile, "Really, how did this happen by chance."

Situ Lan asked someone to put down the curtain, pulled him to sit beside him and hugged her, and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence for you, but it's not for me. I've been with you for almost half a day."

Lin Yan turned his head to look at him, lowered his eyes for a while, and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child, can I just throw it away? Or do you think I'm the one who allows others to bully the master?"

Although his voice was soft, Situ Lan was startled.Knowing that Lin Yan doesn't want to be regarded as relying on himself for everything, if he is too obvious, he will not like it.

Looking at Lin Yan's face, he didn't look really angry, so he let go boldly and put his hand on the back of Lin Yan's.

"What is this?" Situ Lan turned over Lin Yan's wrist, and when he saw the small-faced figure clearly, "This is you? Well, it looks like it."

He said solemnly and put it into his arms.

Although Lin Yan didn't look at him, there was a smile on his lips.Feeling that the carriage was going very smoothly at the beginning, but after a while it became a little bumpy, and asked in surprise, "Where is this going?"

Situ Lan smiled and said, "I'll take you to sell it." Before he could say a word, he had already grabbed Lin Yan's neck and moved closer.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and the coachman whispered back outside: "My lord, we're here."

Situ Lan watched Lin Yan straighten his clothes, and responded with a smile.When the curtain was drawn outside, Lin Yan saw that the car had driven into a big house.

There was already a well-dressed steward leading someone there to greet Situ Lan. Seeing Situ Lan jumping out of the car, he rushed over to greet Qian'er.Situ Lan nodded slightly in agreement, but immediately turned around and handed Lin Yan his hand.

Lin Yan glanced at those people, and found that although they were still standing respectfully, they were watching their hearts, and no one was looking at them.

Situ Lan scratched his palm, Lin Yan came back to his senses, jumped out of the car, and followed Situ Lan into the car.

The house is huge, with rockery and lotus ponds and lush bamboo forests inside. It seems random, but it doesn't look messy.In addition, Xue Li, rose, begonia, jade pear, etc. are in the flowering period, and they are also very lively.

After passing through several corridors back and forth, I came to a moon cave gate, and the sound of a piano could be faintly heard from inside.

The person in charge stopped in front of the door, bowed and said: "My lord, son, the master is inside."

Situ Lan nodded and told him to go down, took Lin Yan's hand and walked through the moon cave door.Lin Yan shook it lightly but didn't shake it off, but found that he was holding it tighter, so he let him go.

The further you go, the clearer the sound of the piano.After careful identification, it turned out to be a song "Youlan".The sound of the piano is empty and distant, and against the gradually dimming sky, it has a certain charm.At this time, the sound of the flute joins in again, and the sobs are low. The depression of being underappreciated in "You Orchid" has suddenly turned into the resentment of a young woman in a boudoir.

Lin Yan really wanted to laugh when he heard that, but he turned around a rockery, and suddenly saw the open windows of the pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond, with one person sitting playing the piano and the other standing behind him playing the flute.Both of them are dressed in light-colored clothes, against which the pond is full of spring water, they are indescribably harmonious.Lin Yan was startled, unable to laugh anymore.

Seeing Lin Yan's wide-eyed and surprised expression, Situ Lan was very proud, and knew that Zi Fei must be frightened when he saw these two together!

Really scared.

It wasn't until the moon was hanging in the sky that Lin Yan got into the carriage and went back to the house, but he still hadn't recovered.Situ Lan shook his hand in front of him, and Lin Yan hit him down.

Situ Lan was sitting next to Lin Yan, she had never seen him in a daze, and thought it was very new.He hooked Lin Yan, and chuckled softly on his neck: "Scared? I knew it before, and I was also shocked."

Lin Yan shook his head, avoiding Situ Lan's warm breath, turned to look at him, frowned and said, "You obviously knew about it a long time ago, but you didn't tell me. You just want to see me startled, are you gloating? ?”

"No, no." Situ Lan was afraid that he would blow his hair, and hurriedly comforted him, "If I don't have him, dare to say it? Good Zifei, I won't dare to hide it from you in the future."

The time between the two of them passed quickly, and when Situ Lan was about to steal incense and jade, the coachman outside reminded him very sternly: "My lord, we have arrived at Ping'an Lane."

Lin Yan pushed Situ Lan away, and said with a low laugh, "It's late today, so I'm not in vain to keep you. I think there will be guests at my house tomorrow, you just wait and see the excitement."

Without waiting for Situ Lan to speak, she got out of the car.Situ Lan hurriedly said, "Zifei!"

Lin Yan turned his head, Situ Lan watched the robe on his body fluttering with the evening wind, although his brows and eyes were a little tired, but it was hard to hide the brilliance, and whispered: "I've been tired all day today, you just have to go early Take a break."

Lin Yan looked at him fixedly, the two of them stared at each other for a long time, Lin Yan blushed slightly, and then nodded.

"Zifei!" Situ Lan opened his mouth and called again, "In a few days..."

Lin Yan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, put two fingers of his right hand against his lips and made a silencing motion, eyebrows and eyes curved, nodded to show that he knew, turned around and entered Lin's mansion.

Situ Lan stared at the door for a moment, then sighed in a low voice, took out the mask tucked in his sleeve, put down the curtain, and said, "Let's go."

But here in Jia's mansion, because of Jia's mother's approval, Mrs. Wang ordered people to tidy up the wing room in her yard and come out.Just cleaned up the sevens and eights, and didn't care whether Baoyu woke up or not, so she asked Sister Feng to take someone to carry Baoyu over quickly.

Although Sister Feng didn't know why Baoyu was beaten, she saw that she was beaten so hard, and Jia's mother, uncharacteristically, asked Baoyu to move back to live with the second wife first, so she knew that Baoyu might have caused a lot of trouble.

Hearing Mrs. Wang's orders, she didn't dare to neglect, and immediately asked Zhou Rui's family to bring some Kong Wu's powerful rough envoy women, and carried a spring chair to pick up Baoyu.

The maids in Baoyu's house are much more trouble-free than before, and they have already taken care of it at this time according to Mrs. Wang's words.Sister Feng was relieved to see Baoyu being sent to Mrs. Wang's yard in person. She hurried back to her room to inquire with Jia Lian.

Jia Lian drove all the girls out of the house and told her. Sister Feng patted her forehead remorsefully and said, "If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have moved forward. The second master did the same, but he didn't say it was earlier." Call someone to tell me."

Jia Lian was still lying on the couch first. After hearing this, she sat up and said with a sneer, "I sent someone to tell you? How dare I? This is not about Baoyu alone. There is also Sister Lin's reputation in it." , that can be said casually? What's more, those two girls who passed on privately are both girls of the old lady, what can I say? "

Sister Feng was about to speak, but Ping'er shouted outside: "Grandma, the old lady asked you and the second master to come over."

The husband and wife looked at each other and had to go.

Although Jia Mu's face was not good, she didn't say anything else. She just asked Jia Lian to arrange a car and sedan chair, and she would go to see Daiyu in person tomorrow morning.

Jia Lian persuaded: "The old lady is an elder, how can she go in person? Instead, she can ask her grandson and daughter-in-law to go."

Jia Mu shook her head and said dejectedly, "I won't let go of it until I see Yu'er in person. You just make arrangements, and you will go with me tomorrow."

Although Jia Lian was embarrassed, he had to agree.

The next day, Jia's mother really took a big sedan chair, and Jia Lian personally escorted her on a horse and came to Lin's mansion.

Lin Yan got up early, and was flipping through a volume of essays in the previous years' imperial examinations in the study. Hearing the arrival of Jia's mother, an inexplicable excitement flashed in his eyes, and Bi Luo, who was passing the message, felt cold.

After getting up and straightening his robe, Lin Yan went outside.

Jia Mu and Jia Lian had already been let to sit in the flower hall of the main room, and another girl served tea.Jia's mother didn't have the heart to drink tea, and Jia Lian also had something on her mind. The Lin family's girl waited on her side, so naturally there was no sound at all, and the whole room was silent.

Just as Jia Lian felt that the atmosphere was oppressive, he heard footsteps in the yard outside, and another girl called out, "Master."

Lin Yan's clear voice sounded: "The old lady of Rong Mansion and Second Master Lian, please come in?"

"Yes."

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, then saw the two doors of the flower hall pushed open, and Lin Yan walked in with a smile.

"Hello, old lady!" Lin Yan bowed to Jia's mother without losing courtesy.

Mother Jia put the teacup in her hand on the table. Although there was worry in her eyes, she had a smile on her face, and said softly, "Brother Yan is here? I haven't seen Yu'er all this time. I'm really worried." .”

Lin Yan pulled up his robe and sat at the main seat, calmly took the tea brought by the girl, took a sip and said, "Old lady, please don't worry, my sister is at home, I don't dare to make her feel wronged."

Mother Jia choked, and heard Lin Yan sigh again: "Speaking of grievances, it's that girl Zijuan who has acted boldly behind her sister's back and done something outrageous and shameless. I was afraid to disturb the old lady, so I didn't dare to go to the old lady. I told you before that I only asked the second master and the second wife to deal with it. Now that I see the old lady, I think I couldn't hide it from the old lady, but it made you angry."

Jia Mu looked at Lin Yan, the smile on his face was gone, and there was a slight anger between his brows.

"Ah!" Mother Jia sighed, and said in a deep voice, "Speaking of which, I saw that girl Zijuan was okay before, so I put her in front of Yu'er to serve her. In recent years, Yu'er has been raised by me. Now, that girl is quite attentive in serving her. Why has she changed her temper now..."

Jia Lian sipped his tea with his head down, but he didn't see Mother Jia look at him.

Lin Yan hooked the corners of his lips, "That's right. Girls are getting older, so they will inevitably have something on their minds. The old lady should think about this too. In fact, I told the girls before, let them out if they should be released, and let them out if they can't." , and have to be well separated from the boys outside. Otherwise, who knows what kind of moths will come out? Their own lives are worthless, but if they bring the master down, even if they are killed, they can't To relieve hatred."

There is something in these words, even an ordinary girl can hear it, let alone Jia Mu?The hand that showed signs of aging suddenly grasped the armrest of the chair, and let it go again after a while.

Jia Mu suppressed her anger and said, "Yesterday, Baoyu's father has taught Baoyu a lesson. After all, he treated those girls too kindly, which made them have the courage to ruin their master's reputation. Although he has learned a lesson, I can always Seeing it, I'm not worried. It's just Yu'er, but I can't rest assured. I came today to see my poor Yu'er."

Lin Yan smiled slightly, and called Bi Luo, who was serving outside, to come in, "Take the old lady to see the girl, so that the old lady can rest assured."

"Yes." Bi Luo blessed her body, walked up to Mother Jia respectfully, and stretched out her hand to support her.

Lin Yan only talks to Jia Lian here.Jia Lian thought about Lin Yan's actions yesterday, but felt that talking to him was extremely exhausting, and he had to think carefully before daring to speak.

In just one meal, Bi Luo and other girls came back surrounded by Jiamu.Jiamu's eyes were red, and she presumably cried with Daiyu.

"Brother Yan," Jia Mu sat on the top and wiped the corners of her eyes, "I saw that Yu'er was really not in good spirits, and there was no blood on her small face. I just said a few words to her, but she was in a state of depression. It's no good. In my opinion, this child is too serious."

Lin Yan nodded, "The old lady is right, but if any girl is almost ruined by a girl, she must not let it go."

Mother Jia ignored Lin Yan, and said to herself, "So I'm thinking here, if your elder brother nods, I'll take Yu'er and live there for a few days, so I can relax. Anyway, there are a few girls in our house. The two sisters used to live together and they were all right-tempered. With them hanging out together, maybe Yu'er will gradually get better."

Lin Yan raised his eyes and looked at Jiamu in disbelief.

"Hehe, old lady, you're right, how do you ask me to answer?" Lin Yan sneered, "Is it okay to take my sister to your residence so that other girls can pass on the handkerchief again?"

Mother Jia endured it again and again, but now she couldn't hold it anymore, she slapped the table with a "slap", "What did you say?"

Jia Lian only felt a breath of cold air sucked in his heart, stuck in the roar, his face changed instantly.

Lin Yan picked up the teacup again slowly, "Old lady, you don't have to be angry. In terms of relatives, I have no reason to stop my sister from going to see my grandmother. It's just that if the family is unruly and ignorant, Even if I never love my sister again, I will never let her go."

"The mansion was originally the mansion of the Duke of the State, and I have heard of it several times in the past few years in Beijing. I thought before that after all, it has been passed down for several generations, so there are still rules for the big family. But now looking at it this way, the mansion It doesn't even separate out the elders and concubines who are the most valued by people like us, let alone the subordinates? Besides, that Baoyu is still raising with a few girls. Their brothers and sisters are not in the way, but my sister is a cousin, no Appropriate. Old lady, you said that my sister was wronged, and she is still depressed now, but this grievance was not caused by your precious grandson Baoyu? Let's not talk dark words, no matter how brave the girl is, but the two people who are close to each other Sending something, does the master ask? Why point to the name of the master? It’s enough to just say that it’s the love between the two little sisters? I didn’t say it earlier, but it was for my sister’s reputation. Old lady, please don’t treat me as a fool. Let’s forget it before. In the future, please ask the old lady to restrain Baoyu. I don’t care which girl’s reputation he is willing to stain, as long as my sister is not tired. Otherwise, I will die Parents can't agree."

He spoke so fast that Jia's mother didn't even lose her temper, she just pointed at Lin Yan tremblingly, her eyes turned black with anger, and she almost fainted.

When Jia Mu went out today, because she didn't want many people to know about it, she only brought a girl, a mandarin duck.At this time, seeing Mother Jia was in a hurry, she hurriedly supported her, and said with tears, "Old lady!"

Lin Yan saw that Jia's mother was on the verge of falling, and hurriedly called Jia Lian, "Second Brother Lian, help me quickly!"

How can Jia Lian use him to say that three steps and two steps have already gone up, "Cousin Lin, don't say a few words. The old lady is angry, how can sister Lin bear it?"

Lin Yan didn't care, waved his hands and smiled, "Although what I just said is serious, it is true. I hope the old lady will think about it. Don't talk about anything else. Now the girls in your house are all about the same age as my sister. It's similar, it's fine for us to keep filial piety here, but the girl in the house... old lady, don't blame me for speaking directly, if it's not about the reputation of my sister and the Lin family, I wouldn't dare to do so."

As he spoke, he bowed down.

Jia's mother only felt that her eyes were darkening for a while, and it was nothing more than hitting a soft nail on Daiyu just now. She just thought that Daiyu was still uncomfortable and angry, and she didn't take it to heart.Now Lin Yan slaps her in the face like this, saying that she has no rules in Rongfu, doesn't understand etiquette, and no one cares about girls in Rongfu, how can she bear it?

"You..." No one dared to disobey her face-to-face for so many years, so Mother Jia held her breath in her chest and passed out.
