Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

When it was dark, Lin Jinyu returned home with a box of pens, ink, papers and inkstones, her face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Tu Wenfei is now in the excitement and warmth of a newlywed, and when he goes out to welcome Lin Jinyu, full of resentment, he casts a dejected glance at himself, doesn't even say hello, and sits listlessly on the bed, not bothering to say anything , not the slightest joy in the past.After pouring a cup of tea for Lin Jinyu and passing it over, he asked, "What's the matter? You're out of your mind, did the emperor embarrass you?"

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Jinyu almost burst into tears, and said with her mouth curled up, "The emperor told the master about calligraphy and painting skills for a long time, but I didn't understand it at all. Dead." Sniffing and raising her head to care about her own little beauty, she asked, "Have you had dinner tonight?"

"I figured that the emperor's grandfather would definitely give me food, so I ate first."

Lin Jinyu has never suffered such a heavy blow since he was born. He just got hit by Tanhuaer, but in fact he was a little bit complacent in his heart, thinking that he must be considered a high-level intellectual... He really deserves to be compared to others, Lin Jinyu was so angry that he thumped On the bed, he shouted, "Manao, bring the go, I'll play chess with Xiao Fei." He was really hit hard, thinking maybe it wasn't his bad chess skills, but the emperor was too good.It would be great if he could find some confidence in Tu Wenfei and come back. Unexpectedly, playing chess with Tu Wenfei was even more of a blow. Lin Jinyu was so angry that he ignored Tu Wenfei all night.

Lin Jinyu turned his back on his back, and Tu Wenfei stared at his small snow-white neck and persuaded, "This piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are just Tao Zhizhi's sentiments. If you like it, you can study it for a few more days. If you don't like it, it's okay to let go. You are only a few At the age of [-], I was so focused on preparing for the exams that I didn’t have the time to work on these things. Few at your age can get into Tanhua’er in the past hundred years. Who wouldn’t say that you are talented? Don’t be angry about this. .”

"How can you know it?" Tu Wenfei was not a few years older than himself.Lin Jinyu is not a petty temper, turned around and asked Tu Wenfei.

"Me?" Tu Wenfei hugged Lin Jinyu's fleshy waist with a smile, and said, "I was studying with my uncle, and I had to learn everything? If I don't remember, I will be punished. I sleep for three hours a day. Apart from eating and practicing martial arts, I just do things. Homework. When he was young, his temper was not as soft as it is now, and the emperor didn't care about him. I was afraid of being punished, so I naturally studied hard."

Lin Jinyu immediately became interested, and asked a little nastyly, "How did you punish you, sir?"

"Well, I was forced to stand against the wall, with a silver plate on my head, and a full glass of wine on it. He sat next to me and gave an article. When I learned by heart, he took down the wine. Drink it up." Tu Wenfei sighed with a smile, "At that time, I wished I could stab him twice and cursed him in my heart every day. After he left the capital, I would actually think of him. When I really grow up, I feel that he actually has a bad heart. Bad, he doesn't like me, he still teaches me to grow up."

Lin Jinyu smiled secretly, Mr. is really creative, and said seriously, "Hey, this is the principle of strict masters and high apprentices. You see, he treats me like a sheep, and I will be laughed at now."

Coaxing Lin Jinyu to feel comfortable physically and mentally, Tu Wenfei said warmly, "Go to bed earlier."

Xu Zixuan is a strange creature, not that he is weird, but with a father as majestic and violent as Xu Junqing, and a younger brother as leisurely and elegant as Xu Ziwen, how could Xu Zixuan have such an honest and good-tempered temperament?

Before hearing Tu Wenfei say that Xu Zixuan likes to play the piano the most, Lin Jinyu thought he must be an outsider, but he didn't expect it to be so ordinary.Xu Zixuan's appearance can only be regarded as average, and everyone he sees is pleasant and honest. He told the truth the first time he met Lin Jinyu, squeezed Lin Jinyu's arm, patted and patted, and praised, "This is Xiaoyu, long It’s really solid, not bad, much better than when Ziwen was a child, when he was like a sorghum straw.”

"Uncle, I'll be healthy when I'm young, and I'll never get sick. Men don't need to be raised extensively so that they can support their families in the future." Lin Jinyu patted her chest with a smile, and served tea affectionately, "Uncle, you are tired from the road. Come on, drink tea to soothe your throat, this is the tribute tea hidden by the master, and you don’t give it to me on weekdays.”

"Isn't it just a sip of water?" Xu Zixuan poured half of the cup in one gulp, and said to Xu Ziwen, "You still have to deal with those problems." Poverty.

Xu Ziwen smiled and said, "Brother is different, I'm afraid you won't even be able to taste it if I give you old-fashioned rough tea."

"That's not true. The food here is better than the one in the roadside teahouse." Xu Zixuan said seriously, and he had to give Xu Ziwen a blow in the head.He is such a person, he uses both the good and the bad as usual, Xu Ziwen is completely a nobleman, even if he has stayed in Yangzhou for eight years, his living expenses are what he is used to, and he moved to Yangzhou to continue to work. Never slept outside with a pillow bedding.

Lin Jinyu covered her mouth and sniggered, Xu Ziwen glared at him, and scolded, "I didn't see that your uncle finished his tea and didn't continue to refill it. I don't have any vision."

"It's okay, I'm not thirsty, so there's no need to pour it out." Xu Zixuan got down to business first, and said, "I've brought the gift of the emperor's longevity, and you can go to the palace with me tomorrow to pay your respects. Also, our parents have chosen for Xiaoyu. Girls from seven or eight families, your sister-in-law is dazzled, waiting for you to hurry up and settle down. You don’t need to prepare anything, everything is ready at home, just go.” Sighing, Xu Zixuan talked about another matter on his mind "Ziwen, I didn't say you, Xiaoyu is so promising, and your disciple knows everything, why do you beg your parents to look at other people's girls? The third girl is fifteen this year, and she just wants to find someone to marry. I Seeing that Xiaoyu is quite nice and honest, she is much better than those embroidered pillows, and I don't want to marry the third girl into those wealthy families, the key is to have a good person." Xu Zixuan said to Lin Jinyu, "Xiaoyu, You haven't seen the third girl of my family, she has a bright temper, lively and cute, she is not as shy as the daughter of another family, she must get along well with you. How about it, can you tell me something?"

There is a reason for Xu Zixuan to ask this question. Xu Junqing has a very strict mouth. Apart from his own wife, he didn't tell anyone about this matter. The husband and wife just focused on showing it to their grandson. Son.Usually when talking about Lin Jinyu at home, she would be praised like a flower. There are few unparalleled ones in the sky and underground.Xu Zixuan has a big heart and doesn't think too much, but Mrs. Xu is a careful person. She always thinks of herself. It is not easy to make a young man like the old man and princess. My uncle's only precious apprentice, how can the family not Take care?Can the future be bad?Can my daughter be disadvantaged if she marries in the past?How can such a young and handsome talent be told to others?Mrs. Xu explained all the benefits of marrying Lin Jinyu, and begged her husband to come to Beijing to see Lin Jinyu on the way. These days, it is important to be a teacher for a day and a father for life, and Xu Zixuan did not treat Lin Jinyu as an outsider.Seeing that although Lin Jinyu is well-read and knowledgeable, he doesn't speak sourly like those scholars outside. He has a strong body and good looks, so he directly proposed marriage.Anyway, Lin Jinyu entrusted the marriage to Zhang Luo of the Xu family, and so did his parents. If they like Lin Jinyu so much, they should stay at home and be their grandson-in-law.

Lin Jinyu was terrified, and he babbled and said nothing. This uncle is really not ordinary pride, it seems that he just met, why did he start selling his daughter.Xu Zixuan was very direct, said whatever he wanted, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, the family is very happy when they hear that you have won the prize. Your aunt keeps talking about you every day, saying that you are promising. The girl said she was close, so she picked the girl and the girl, and none of them loved her. It just so happened that the news of you being a flower was sent back, and she was just nagging at my ears every day. I was going to bore her to death. Yes. I want to tell the old man first, I don’t know what you mean, if you don’t want to, I don’t have to mention it in front of the old man.”

Lin Jinyu's lips moved, "This, this, as long as Mr. agrees? I, I don't really understand."

Xu Zixuan laughed, still confident in his younger brother, clapped his hands and said, "Ziwen, can you tell me something sweet?"

Xu Ziwen was worried about going home to explain things, so he simply formed a comrade-in-arms first, and said in a gentle voice, "Brother took the initiative to propose marriage. This is Jinyu's blessing. But this matter, brother, you must not tell anyone. Someone asked three Girl, you just said that the marriage is decided by our parents and you can't control it. Don't hide it from my elder brother, Jinyu's marriage was originally planned by the emperor, but I stopped it. How can such an outstanding young man make it easier for others? Naturally, we prefer our own girl first."

Lin Jinyu suddenly felt as if she had become pork for sale on the cutting board in the vegetable market. Xu Ziwen smiled and said, "Brother likes him as soon as he sees him. Isn't this just fate! Uncle, you know, is getting more and more unreasonable. Yelling at him to listen to the sermon, we can’t say when we will turn our backs? When he issued an imperial decree, we have to grit our teeth and swallow it. After a few days, we will get married as soon as we return to Shandong, and there is no need for my elder brother to come forward to my father. Let me tell you .”

"Don't worry, I'll listen to you." Xu Zixuan knew that he was not as proficient in court affairs as his younger brother, so he always used Xu Ziwen's movement as a direction marker.

After Xu Zixuan went to rest, Lin Jinyu asked in a low voice, "Sir, didn't you say...then if I married your niece, wouldn't I be exposed? This is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

It's all because of my uncle's meddling, causing him to lie one after another. Xu Ziwen snorted coldly, "Wen Fei told you? What are you afraid of? My uncle has abdicated now, and besides, even if he doesn't abdicate, he can't kill me. Don't worry." , I have a way to deal with him."

"Where is the master? No wonder the master is so kind to me all of a sudden, and even pretended to marry me. You must have lied to him." Lin Jinyu wanted to understand the connection a long time ago, but she never had the right opportunity to ask. The old god looked calm and knew that he had guessed right, so he couldn't help but gasped, turned back and forth a few times unsteadily, and thought, "It's over, it's over, sir, don't go back to Shandong, I'll Follow the uncle and marry the third girl back. If you go, you will probably be beaten to death by the master. If you really want to go back and have a look, first ask the emperor for an imperial edict to save your life."

"Okay, don't hold back at all, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge." Xu Ziwen still sipped the tea slowly, and waved his sleeves, "Go, don't talk to Wen Fei all the time these few days, and make your father-in-law happy first. Let’s talk about it, don’t delay the business.”

Lin Jinyu is stupid again, you, you are not a spy in my house, are you?Xu Ziwen seemed to see through people's hearts with a single glance, and smiled slightly, "Don't think about it, it's you who have been full of love these two days. I've been here, so I can see it. Go, don't bother me, it doesn't matter if you get along with anyone, but, Since you want to get married, you have to take on the responsibility of a man in the future, understand?"

Xu Ziwen seldom spoke harsh words, these few words were still gentle and elegant, but there was also a solemn warning in them, Lin Jinyu bowed his hands in response, and then retreated respectfully.
