Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Sleepless late at night, Lin Jinyu sat in the gazebo in the garden on a mahogany bench admiring the moon.Ping An Jixiang stood by with hands down, wanted to persuade but didn't know how to say it.

Seeing a white jade glazed lantern from afar, and taking a closer look, it turned out to be Mr. Xu, so Ping An felt relieved and tugged at Ji Xiang's sleeves. The two silently bowed to Mr. Xu, and retreated to wait with.

"Is it cold?" As he spoke, Mr. Xu unfolded a blue silk cloak with white fox fur and covered Lin Jinyu.

How could Lin Jinyu not notice that Mr. Xu was coming?It's just that he feels tired, doesn't want to talk, just wants to sit and be quiet.Mr. Xu said, "You can't come back to life after death. You understand the truth, so cheer up. Don't cry like a woman, and make people look down on you."

"I'm fine, I'm just lazy."

"It's been a few days since I checked your homework. Let's go, sit with me for a while, and I'll find something for you to do." Mr. Xu patted his disciple's shoulder, his hands were cold, seeing that Lin Jinyu still refused to move, he smiled coldly , "Also ask me to invite you!"

Lin Jinyu moved slightly, but her legs felt sore and numb, and she almost fell to the ground.Mr. Xu wrapped his arms around Lin Jinyu's waist, leaned over to hug Lin Jinyu, and scolded him lightly, "I've never seen you so useless."

Mu Li carried the lamp like a ghost, and walked back to the small courtyard together.

Mr. Xu had asked someone to prepare bath water, put Lin Jinyu on the couch and asked, "Do you want to undress you?" Lin Jinyu shook his head and went to undress himself, Mr. Xu said, "I have never persuaded anyone, and I don't know what to do." What to say. If you really miss your father, well, just drown in this bucket of water, and you don’t have to worry. Daiyu is my half-disciple, so it’s not difficult for me to find a good marriage for her. If you don’t have the courage , love to cry, love to howl, don't let me see you, a wimpy Dexing who is neither human nor ghost!"

After finishing speaking, Mr. Xu flicked his sleeves and went to read a book in the inner room. The red candle was burned to tears of blood. Mr. Xu closed his eyes and rested on the bed.

About an hour later, Lin Jinyu came in wrapped in a cloak with loose half-dry hair. Mr. Xu remembered that Xu Jinyu had no change of clothes, but frowned and pointed to a small couch next to the south wall. "Go up there and hold my vigil."

"I'm going to sleep with my husband." Lin Jinyu still didn't have a happy face, but she was much better than the half-dead look just now. She climbed into the bed and lifted the quilt to lie down, and threw out her cloak. She was really naked. Mr. Xu smiled, "I'm really not ashamed. It’s all about raising people, if it gets out and you sleep with your husband naked, you’ll be ashamed and ashamed.”

"I'm not afraid, anyway, I'm young, I don't know, I thought my husband had eccentricities." Lin Jinyu said.

Mr. Xu put out the candle, and as soon as he lay down, Lin Jinyu hugged Mr. Xu's waist, but these words circled Mr. Xu's mind a few times. Mr. Xu smiled, "Is liking men a quirk?"

Lin Jinyu closed her eyes and said, "It's nothing. Some people like the opposite sex, and some people like the same sex. I'm still a child now. If I like children, it's a quirk. Mr. doesn't mean he likes me?"

"You're beautiful." Mr. Xu gave Lin Jinyu a pat on the buttocks, with a slight smile in his voice, "Tomorrow, go look in the mirror by yourself, just like you shit, even if I'm blind."

"Sir, don't you look in the mirror? I don't think you look good to me. Woo—"

……

After a good night's sleep, when Lin Jinyu woke up, Mr. Xu was no longer around, and the bright sunlight shone through the curtains on the bed, making it warm.

There was a stack of new clothes beside the pillow, Lin Jinyu smiled and got up.

As soon as he went out, he saw Mu Li coming in with a copper basin and a white towel on his shoulders. Seeing Mu Li's handsome and cold face again, Lin Jinyu smiled, and hurriedly took it and put it on the chair, " Why did Big Brother Mu do it himself?"

"Cousin doesn't like outsiders entering the room, and you are washing up again after getting up." Mu Li said, "You can wash up, and breakfast will be delivered in a while."

Unexpectedly, Mu Li was Mr. Xu's cousin. Lin Jinyu didn't think too much about it, and asked, "Brother Mu, where is Mr.?"

"I went to Master Xu's place."

"Brother Mu, have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."

……

After Lin Jinyu had breakfast, she was about to go out to find the two gentlemen. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu and Master Xu came hand in hand.Being so punctual must have been a letter from Brother Mu. Lin Jinyu still stood up and saluted the two gentlemen.

Mr. Xu waved his hand, "Let's all sit down. Jinyu, since your uncle's cousin is here. I discussed it with Lao Xu, and he will go back to Kyoto with the boat. Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I will follow you to Gusu to see Your father will be buried in peace, and it is not in vain for us to have a friendship."

Lin Jinyu was grateful, nodded and said, "The two gentlemen have already discussed it, and I will listen to you."

Master Xu said, "You have called me Master for several years, and you still don't know my name, so you don't need to hide it from you now. My surname is Xu, and my name is Jia. The Xu Mansion next to the Xu Mansion is my home, and someone will send me a message after returning to Beijing."

"Yes." Lin Jinyu looked at the two gentlemen, who is Mr. Xu, and why did the left court judge come to my house?

Seeing Lin Jinyu staring at Xu Ziwen, Master Xu was a little funny, "If you don't understand, just ask Ziwen. I have a few books on medicinal diet and medicine. Your talent is limited in this, but your sister has some spirituality. I will give it to your sister later. Let's see."

Xu Ziwen smiled but did not answer, and said, "Your house has not been occupied for many years, only a few old servants are guarding it. Are you living in Rongguo Mansion when you return to Beijing this time?"

"The house has been repaired for a few months, so I can only live in my grandmother's house first. I don't know a gentleman who can make garden plans?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Old Xu, the head of Beijing, is more familiar with you. Let him help you find one." Mr. Xu glanced at Master Xu, telling you to talk more, and find something for you, "You tell the housekeeper to find Lao Xu. .”

After sending off Master Xu and others first, Lin Jinyu started to arrange for Fuling to return to his hometown.Jia Lian is a man with active eyes, anyway, he can't get the Lin family's property now, but he concentrates on helping Lin Jinyu manage it inside and out.

Jia Lian, who is used to socializing, feels a little uncomfortable seeing Mr. Xu. In fact, this is also a common problem of the fourth generation of men in the Jia family: they don't like reading, so Jia Lian loves the old master who can't shake his head.

Mr. Xu is not old, he is in his thirties, and he can be called handsome and bright. He said with a smile, "I haven't been in Kyoto for a long time, and I don't know your family well, but I do know your father-in-law, Wang Ziteng. At your age, you can marry well." But brother Ziteng's eldest daughter?"

"That's right." Jia Lian smiled, "It's a pity that my father-in-law is out of Beijing, otherwise I will meet you when you return to Beijing."

Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "Isn't Mr. Wang the governor of the Beijing camp?"

"It has been transferred to the control of nine provinces, but it has been several years, and I think I will return to Beijing soon." Mr. Xu leaned on the soft cushion in the car, blew on the hot tea in his hand, took a sip, and said, "Back then Brother Teng's eldest daughter is full moon, and I also joined in the fun and drank full moon wine. The word Xi in your wife's boudoir name is still taken by me."

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "I'm really ashamed that I don't recognize Uncle Shi."

Mr. Xu smiled lightly and shook his head, "I have never had any contact with Rongning and Ningfu, so I can't be called Uncle Shi. My surname is Xu, so call me Mr. Xu. You are brother Ziteng's beloved son-in-law. I see you." You, inevitably remember a thing or two from the past."

Jia Lian's face was embarrassed, and Lin Jinyu said, "Cousin Lian also tasted it, Mr. is the best tea, this is the best bird's tongue, cooked with mountain spring water, the fragrance is timeless."

Jia Lian took it with a smile, and praised it again and again.Lin Jinyu lifted the curtain of the car and shouted, "Brother Mu, come in and have a cup of tea."

The carriage didn't stop, there wasn't even a slight movement, the curtain was raised, and Mu Li, who was dressed in black sable fur, got into the carriage shortly, bringing a little cool breeze, Lin Jinyu stuffed the cotton curtain.

Mu Li always said little and didn't look sideways. He sat beside Mr. Xu, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it carefully.

Jia Lian saw that this man was handsome, but he was full of evil spirits, so he didn't look at him too much. Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "Cousin Lian, this is Brother Mu, who went to school with my husband. Brother Mu is a very good person, but he doesn't like it. speech."

"It doesn't matter." Jia Lian smiled. The gentleman next to Lin Jinyu talked about his father-in-law indifferently, not knowing why. Looking at the man in black, Jia Lian didn't care too much.

"The tea is good." Mu Li said, looking at Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu took out a three-inch high jade bottle from an old mahogany box next to him, and handed it to Mu Lidao, "Let's enjoy tea and tea here, and give it to my female disciple."

Mu Li took it, turned around and left.The carriage stopped and there was no vibration, Jia Lian said, "Brother Mu is probably a rare master."

The corners of Lin Jinyu's lips curled up, "That's right, killing people is like chopping vegetables."

Jia Lian was taken aback, Lin Jinyu smiled and waved his hands, "Just kidding, just kidding, cousin, don't take it seriously."
