Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

When Lin Jinyu came home, the family was taken aback. The old butler Lin Zhong supported Lin Jinyu's arm, with tears in his eyes, he raised his sleeve and wiped Fang Fang, "Well, this is the first time that the uncle has been on duty, they are How did you serve me, look at the skinny one... the uncle is not feeling well, so the servant sent someone to invite the imperial physician to give the uncle a consultation."

"Housekeeper, people say that I'm getting more and more handsome. It's a bitter summer, it's okay." Lin Jinyu comforted Lin Zhong a few words, and asked with a smile, "How has my family been these few months?"

Lin Zhong smiled, "Thanks to my uncle, everything is fine. There is a happy event, sir, our eldest girl is happy. Because the uncle is outside, we can't communicate. Why didn't the uncle send someone to tell you today When we got home, the eldest grandma went out to visit the eldest daughter at the eldest daughter's house in the morning, so I will send someone to invite the eldest grandma back."

Is my sister pregnant?Depend on!I'm not yet a teenager, I'm going to be a mother.Lin Jinyu said, "Well, by the way, let someone tell you, I'll go over there tomorrow to visit my sister and brother-in-law."

"There is one more thing, sir, the Ningguo mansion respects the master is gone. The Ningguo mansion sent a letter, because the uncle is not at home, the grandma ordered the servant to do a sacrificial ceremony and send it over." Lin Zhong reported.

Lin Jinyu frowned, turned to the foreign book, and said after entering the door, "This is really strange, and Rongguo Mansion is still a serious relative, and Ningguo Mansion has nothing to do with it. It's fine to send a sacrificial ceremony, there is no need to communicate too much .”

Lin Zhong took the teacup from the boy servant and presented it to Lin Jinyu, and said in a gentle voice, "I think so too. Grandma said that they are not relatives, but since they have given the letter, then Master Jing is the emperor who bestowed an official Son, if you pretend you don't know, it will look like we don't see anyone, and it's not good to ask people to talk about it. We have prepared a sacrificial ceremony to keep people silent. At the beginning of August, the birthday of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, The uncle of the Wei family married the eldest daughter of the Shi family. Besides, the second girl in the mansion of Prince Teng Xiangye decided on the elder brother of the Shenwei General Feng Tang's mansion, Uncle Feng Ziying. Uncle Xu Xiang's family got his brother, and he was baptized three times with full moon wine. At the place, the eldest grandma prepared a gift, and the servant personally brought it to him."

Lin Jinyu drank two sips of tea, and asked a little confused, "Wang Xiang's family? Although we are colleagues, this girl must be a female family member, and it is rare to invite a man to a banquet. Oh, the butler, please sit down." Pointing to the lower left The first mahogany chair.

Lin Zhong sat down with a smile, and reminded, "Master forgot, Mrs. Shi Jia and Mrs. Xian were originally two cousins ​​and sisters. Counting them, they are also my cousins."

"No, um, I recognized it when I went to the palace to pay my respects to the Prime Minister during the lawsuit with Xue's family." Lin Jinyu leaned her head back on the chair, patted her forehead and sighed, "No one asks you if you are poor in a busy city. The rich have distant relatives in the mountains, so you can see the human relationship." When I first entered the capital, the human relationship was so cold and indifferent.

"It's all because of my ability." Lin Zhong said with a smile, "The second master of Zhongjing Hou's family married the granddaughter of Jingtian Hou's family at the end of September. The post was delivered earlier, so my uncle caught up with it."

Lin Jinyu waved his hand, "The historians don't need to contact each other. I haven't seen them come here to burn incense and burn papers on the anniversary. It's too late to get to know relatives now! If you talk about my colleagues in the court, I don't know his master well. ! How is Ningguo Mansion now? How is the mansion still quiet after keeping filial piety?"

Lin Zhong touched it, and sighed, "I'm just about to go back to the old man. Alas, their house really can't move around. When the servant went out, I heard the steward of a nearby family mention that the old man in the house has only been gone for a few days now. , I heard that Uncle Zhen called people to drink and gamble to start the game, how can you see the rules and manners of the children of the aristocratic family?"

"It seems that this matter has spread." Everyone in the servants knew, Lin Jinyu snorted coldly, "If the sky wants to kill him, he must first make him crazy. In the eyes of this person, he doesn't even have a biological father, who else can have it?" Stay away. You don’t need to accept posts from the Ning Mansion, but only those from the Rong Mansion. Blood ties are inseparable in this life. It’s just that you don’t need to go to the ceremony in the future. Only the second steward will be sent to take the boys away. Just one trip."

Lin Zhong agreed, and Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "Well, if there is nothing else, the housekeeper will go to rest. I changed my clothes and went to pay my respects to my husband. I will set up a banquet in the next night and call all the stewards in the mansion. , let's have a drink."

===========

Xu Ziwen actually guessed that Lin Jinyu would come over, but Tu Jingchen had to stay for a meal. When Xu Ziwen returned home, Lin Jinyu was already sleeping in the water pavilion.

Baozi stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Master Jinyu came here in the first few minutes. Hey, he was as thin as a refugee, with only a handful of bones left. Those who didn't know thought that Master Jinyu was there to help the disaster. It hurts people to see it."

"Well, then tell the chef to cook some of his favorite dishes." In the past, Xu Ziwen felt that Lin Jinyu's words were too annoying. After walking for a few months, he still misses this brat a little. A little anxious to see Lin Jinyu.

Lin Jinyu was wrapped in a quilt, her face was flushed red, her concubine-colored lips were slightly pursed, and she snored slightly, sleeping soundly.The face was indeed a little smaller, showing the outline of a young and handsome boy.The quilt was pulled up to the chest, revealing a white shoulder, a slender collarbone, and a slender neck.Xu Ziwen sat for a while, but Lin Jinyu didn't wake up. He bent over to pick up the clothes on the ground and put them aside, then got up and went to the main courtyard to greet his parents.

The princess first asked, "Have you seen Jinyu? The child came to see you as soon as he came back. Alas, I was really surprised. The child grew up so blessed and happy before, but now it's only a few months. He's out of shape. He's still young, don't assign too much work, it's not fun to hurt your nerves."

Xu Ziwen smiled, "It's okay, he's still hydrated, I asked Xu Jia to feel his pulse at night, I guess there's nothing wrong with it. He's just too pampered before, how can he feel comfortable when he's out on errands, and he's on his way again." It’s a hot summer, and there are also bitter summers. I used to look like a fat man, and I look more delicate when I’m thinner. His sister is the best at cooking medicinal food, and now she’s nourished, and the flesh she lost within a few days has returned. Made it back."

The princess frowned, and said with a smile, "Mu Li is indeed getting fresher and rosier every day. Even your father said that Mu Li's marriage is a good one, and you can tell from the tip of his face." Waved her hand to signal the maid to step back , the princess took an orange from the fruit plate, peeled off the skin with a handkerchief, put it petal by petal in Xu Ziwen's hands, and said softly, "Lin'er and Jinyu have been married for four or five months, and it's only now that they're married." You have to go on this long-distance trip within a few days of marriage, as an uncle, you also have to think about your niece, who is newly married."

Xu Ziwen carefully removed the white silk from the orange petals, ate a few petals and put them in his mouth. It was really sweet, and he smiled, "Mother, isn't Jinyu coming back now? They are only young, and they will have children in five or six years." Not too late..."

The princess glared at her son, put the remaining half of the orange back on the fruit plate before peeling it off, wiped her hands, poked Xu Ziwen's forehead with her plain fingertips, and said angrily, "I said you are Cheng Don’t you pretend to be a fool? Five or six years! Is this what an uncle should say? In five or six years, the day lily was cold! Don’t look at Lin Jinyu’s good words at the beginning, and vowed to marry Lin If you don't accept two colors, what is Wenfei? A display? You are really a real uncle! Let me tell you, no child who makes a vow of eternal love is safe and reliable! The most important thing now is to Lin'er will give birth to her eldest son soon!"

"Mother, Jinyu doesn't know how to take concubines, and there is absolutely no way she can have a concubine. The serious Wenfei can be regarded as a concubine." Xu Ziwen explained without confidence.

"He's not as clean as you are." The princess laughed, "You say that concubines and concubines are empty now, but now, what about in the future? If the child is born, can it be stuffed back? Back then Lin Jinyu said it right in front of your father. He is so beautiful. I only found out about his relationship with Wenfei when we got married. How about it? The bitter fruit still has to be swallowed. What's more, Lin'er is already married. Lin'er is already a member of the Lin family. He really wants to break his promise and marry a concubine. Let's Can you ask Liner to reconcile? Don't say such casual words, even when the agreement in black and white is broken? Don't tell me these are useless. I also like Jinyu. If I like it, I like it. There must be a close relative. No matter how much I like him, I can't surpass Lin'er, so I have to think about Lin'er first."

"Mother, this kind of thing is not forced." Xu Ziwen persuaded, "Son and daughter are God's will."

The princess held her son's hand, patted it twice with a smile, and said warmly, "I'm telling you, in front of Jinyu, I only love him, so naturally I won't say a word about it. Leave it to you. No matter what you think of, next year, I have to see my great-grandson."

"Mother, I don't have the ability. This is Jinyu's childbirth, not mine. Even if I gave birth, no one can guarantee that someone will be pregnant at any time." Xu Ziwen shrugged, "Mother, why don't you give birth to me?" You call Lin'er back and ask her about the matters in the boudoir, if everything is all right, we can just wait. If there is any disagreement, I can help you find a solution. "

The princess raised her eyebrows slightly, and sighed, "Lin'er can say whatever you want. But I always feel that something is wrong. Now Jinyu is talking about Lin's sister, not like a husband and wife, but like a sister and brother. Also, you See, he has been outside for half a year, and he will run to you first when he comes back, he treats you better than Lin'er."

Xu Ziwen sneered, "Mother, don't worry. Jinyu has been studying with me since she was three years old, and has been with me longer than Lin Ruhai. It's okay for him to greet me first when he comes back." In his tone Still a little bit proud, Xu Ziwen persuaded, "Mother, you said that Jinyu treats Lin'er like siblings, but I think Lin'er treats Jinyu like multiple younger brothers, so there's nothing wrong with that. Yu is a person who values ​​affection. Before his sister married Mu Li, he divided the family property into two and married half of it to Daiyu. Look, how many siblings can have such affection. If he treats Lin'er as a My sister is fine."

The princess said, "No matter what, it's all your fault. My time in the capital is limited, so I still want you to take care of Lin'er, so don't let her be wronged."

"Mother, don't worry." Xu Ziwen smiled, "I am Lin'er's uncle, how could I allow others to bully her. After a long time, mother will know the benefits of Jinyu."

The mother and son were talking, when the maid outside reported: The third girl is back.

The princess smiled and asked to come in. Xu Yulin was wearing a grape purple dress with a small phoenix hairpin on her hair. She came in with a smile and greeted her. She sat down beside the princess and said, "I don't know if Jinyu will come back today. I went to my sister. The steward went to find me, and my sister hurriedly urged me to go back to the house. At the door of the house, I heard that the housekeeper said that Jinyu came back and did not stay at home, so I went to greet my uncle. I also stopped by to say hello to my grandmother and uncle. I just passed by I've seen it, he might be a little tired, and he's falling asleep, and I'll have dinner at my grandmother's place at night."

"You haven't seen each other for half a year." The princess stroked Xu Yulin's hair on the temples, and said lovingly, "Jinyu is tired, and I seem to have lost a lot of weight. I still have a few red ginseng plants here, you take them back Stewed tonic to give him nourishment."

Xu Yulin covered her lips and smiled, "Grandmother, keep it for yourself, I haven't finished eating what you gave me a while ago. I didn't expect Jinyu to be so handsome after losing weight, and now she is so reborn that she almost couldn't recognize her. His former son raised his elder sister so well, and his older brothers are not as fat as him, but I don’t know how much I feel sorry for my elder sister when she sees it.” He laughed again, “The things made by my elder sister It’s even more delicious than the imperial chef, if it wasn’t for my sister’s sudden pregnancy, I’d still like to learn from my sister.”

"Is your aunt okay?"

"Very good, my sister is vomiting better now." Xu Yulin sighed, "My sister is actually in good health, but she is naturally graceful and slender, and she is loved by others. I have to go to see it every day to be at ease. If my sister is born A daughter like her, I have to hurry up and give birth to a son like me, so that we can be married in the future." That's why Xu Yulin is looking forward to Lin Jinyu's return.

"Lin'er, this is not what a girl should say. Also, don't call Jinyu by her first name." The princess taught helplessly.

"Grandmother, I want to tell my uncle, don't send Jinyu on a long-distance business trip." Xu Yulin looked at Xu Ziwen with a smile, "Uncle, don't let Jinyu go out within a year, okay?"

Xu Ziwen turned his face away to look at the roof, and said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay. You can talk to mother, I still have business, mother, go out first."

Xu Ziwen felt that Lin Jinyu really had some skills, so he wondered how Lin Jinyu could handle Xu Yulin and Tu Wenfei, two outliers.
