Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 24 Mr. Xu rejects Rongguo Mansion with a smile

Wang Xifeng prepared a gift and sent Ping'er to Lin Jinyu's courtyard. Lin Jinyu looked at it, discussed it with her sister, and finally prepared a copy for herself.Two days later, I greeted Jia Mu and prepared to go to Mr. Jia.

Mother Jia put her arms around Lin Jinyu and asked with a smile, "Why did you go?"

"After all, I'm a mourner. I thought that my husband would entertain my colleagues two days ago, and I wouldn't care about it, but I don't think it's good." Lin Jinyu said.

Mother Jia nodded, "I haven't been out for a long time, but you are thoughtful. You are a little person, let your cousin Lian accompany you."

Lin Jinyu responded with kindness, and Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "It just so happens that Lian'er is at home. He doesn't like reading, so let him have a good book scent."

Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "It's my nephew's husband. He sounds like a learned man, old lady. Since Yucun took office, Baoyu hasn't had a decent gentleman to give advice. Why don't my nephew talk to that gentleman and let you two Cousin is also studying with Mr. You two are companions, and you will make progress in your studies. As for Shu Xiu, he will not treat Mr. poorly."

Mother Jia was a little hesitant, she had seen a lot, so she naturally knew that the emperor's apprentices were the most noble, not to mention real teaching, taking up the title of master and apprentice would also be very helpful to the official career.But this is Lin Jinyu's husband, who is not familiar with the Rongguo Mansion, so he turned to look at Lin Jinyu.

Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "I dare not promise this to the old lady and the second aunt. The husband's house is also Wujin's house, and it doesn't look like a poor family. I also heard that the husband and the second aunt's brother, Lord Wang Friendship, this time I went to congratulate my husband, but it was the old lady's second aunt's entrustment, and it was also related to my second cousin's future. I thought that my cousin Lian and I would go there first, and cousin Lian would check on Mr. When I was in Yangzhou, I have seen Cousin Lian's style of conversation, which is the most impressive."

Mother Jia smiled and nodded, "What I'm saying is that we admire Mr.'s knowledge and just want to be a teacher. This matter also pays attention to fate, you do your best. Feng girl, go and talk to Lian'er."

Wang Xifeng went out with Lin Jinyu, her phoenix eyes glanced at Lin Jinyu, seeing that he was not unhappy, Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "Cousin Lin, I heard that those scholars quote scriptures and classics when they speak, if your cousin Lian's words are wrong Yes, you fill in the details for him."

"We brothers should help each other, but Cousin Lian mostly helps me." Lin Jinyu said with a smile, "Second Cousin, go and call Cousin, I'll wait outside the Second Gate."

……

As soon as Jia Lian heard that Mrs. Jiamu Wang had rewarded her for this job, she asked Wang Xifeng to find some clothes to change. Wang Xifeng adjusted the collar for him, while Ping'er squatted down and stretched his hem, and put it on with a black mang pattern inlaid jade belt.

"According to me, don't touch this wall. I've seen Mr. Xu before. He's different from ordinary old masters," Jia Lian said. "You may not be able to fall in love with Baoyu."

"Look at your frustrating words." After all, Jia Baoyu is his own cousin, Wang Xifeng pouted, "Baoyu was born with a lot of blessings. No one in Beijing knows that he can compose poetry at the age of four or five. Which one?" If you don’t like it, sir, how can you teach such an apprentice as Baoyu and become a famous teacher?”

"Let me try." Jia Lian said with a smile, "You haven't seen Jinyu in front of Mr., so it's really Mr. who has something to do. Can Baoyu bear it?"

"Okay, let's go. Baoyu is used to being a little low-key in front of sisters." Wang Xifeng personally put on a golden crown headband for her husband, and said, "Go, Cousin Lin is waiting for you."

Jia Lian didn't expect Lin Jinyu to be able to ride a horse at a young age, seeing Lin Jinyu's posture on the horse, he knew it was not a show, so he smiled and praised him.

The concierge of Xu's mansion had known Lin Jinyu for a long time, and he smiled and asked An to lead the horse.

Baozi in Tsing Yi came out with a smile, followed by two servants to receive gifts, Lin Jinyu said with a smile, "Uncle Baozi, is sir there?"

"Here, waiting for the young master. Who is this?" Baozi looked at Jia Lian with a smile.

"This is the second master Lian of the Rongguo Mansion, and also my cousin." Lin Jinyu introduced with a smile, "Cousin Lian, Uncle Baozi is the housekeeper of Mr.

Jia Lian nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, butler. I heard that Mr. was selected as a bachelor's servant, so I came here with my cousin to congratulate him. A few gifts are not a respect."

"Second Master Lian, you're being polite." Baozi smiled, "Mister is in the flower hall, the young master is not an outsider, let's go, sir is reading a book."

Lin Jinyu led the way for Jia Lian. When he walked through the corridor, he saw a large clear pool, with blue waves like a wash of wind, dizzy and rippling. A white jade bridge protruded from the profile and led directly to the pavilion in the lake. Its structure is so ingenious. Even Jia Lian felt it was an eye-opener.

Lin Jinyu was familiar with the way, went to the front of the house, knocked on the door, and said, "Sir, I'm here." Then he pushed open the carved mahogany door, the fragrant wind blowing inside, warm as spring, you can see budding or half-opened flowers Flowers are arranged in a well-proportioned manner, and the furnishings are exquisite and elegant. A piece of flowers is hard to find at a sky-high price.Jia Lian was a little more solemn in his heart, put away the frivolity on his face, followed Lin Jinyu around the outer hall, walked around a delicate twelve-paneled gold screen, and saw Mr. Xu half leaning on the ebony embossed landscape imperial concubine couch, with a rug on his waist. A Persian blanket, holding a scroll, heard footsteps, looked up and saw a little smile in Lin Jinyu's eyes, and when he reached Jia Lian, the smile continued, pointing to the mahogany inlaid wooden drum stool next to the couch, "Sit. Why now You have to bring your companions, will I eat you?"

Jia Lian got up and said, "Mr. misunderstood. You take good care of your cousin. My father's uncle heard about it and was grateful for Mr.'s kindness. He also heard about Mr.'s promotion. He specially ordered me to prepare a small gift. Hey."

Mr. Xu chuckled, "Jinyu is my disciple, I should take care of him, and you don't need to be grateful for your kindness. I have never had any contact with your family. Are you here for something?"

Jia Lian thought that he was one of the most famous people in Beijing, but at this moment he felt that he couldn't stand up straight, and said with a smile, "To tell the truth, my grandmother heard that my husband is very knowledgeable. I have a cousin in my family who wears jade and is smart and intelligent. The original teacher who taught the industry took a job in another place, but now there is no suitable teacher to guide the homework. The husband is a high-achieving student, and my grandmother specially ordered me to come to the door. I want to ask the husband to accept my cousin as an apprentice, and I will give you some pointers in the article."

Lin Jinyu picked up a red bayberry and ate it with a smile, and said with a smile, "Yes, sir, one cow is also shed, and two cows are also chased. My second cousin can write poetry when he is four years old, much better than me."

Holding the book, Mr. Xu knocked on Lin Jinyu's note, and said with a smile, "I just know how to eat it. There are more than twenty pieces in total. You are welcome."

Lin Jinyu shrank her head and said with a smile, "I thought my husband reserved it for me specially."

Mr. Xu ignored Lin Jinyu's nonsense, smiled and said to Jia Lian, "I can compose poems at the age of four. I heard you said that she is a natural genius. When Jinyu was four years old, she could only play with mud. When I was reading, I saw a 'genius' two Words, your cousin is like this, such as Li Taibai, Su Dongpo, Qu Yuan and others in history. These talents are a gift from God, not from man. Your cousin's genius-like aptitude, forgive me for not agreeing."

Jia Lian wanted to say more, but Mr. Xu said, "I'll stay with Jinyu for lunch today, so you can go back first."

Jia Lian really didn't have the courage to stay. He felt that his family was not the same as others. This Mr. Xu seemed easy-going, but he was extremely arrogant. Jia Lian saluted again and left.

Lin Jinyu wanted to go out to see off Jia Lian, but was stopped by Mr. Xu, "The bun will be given to him."

When Jia Lian came out of the flower hall, Lin Jinyu threw herself into Mr. Xu's arms laughing, not daring to laugh too loudly for Jia Lian to hear, trembling all the time, and said for a long time, "Oh, sir, you really can talk, laugh to death me."

"What's so funny about it? You can compose poetry at the age of four, so how can you find a husband?" Mr. Xu helped Lin Jinyu up, and said with a smile, "I thought you had to come here two days ago."

Thinking about the business, Lin Jinyu took out the gift list from his sleeve and handed it to Mr. Xu, "The above is the gift I prepared for my husband, and the bottom is for my grandmother and the others. I thought that my husband had to entertain his colleagues two days ago. not coming."

"Is there anyone there? They're just old friends. I wanted to introduce you to you." Mr. Xu smiled. Be careful, just come and ask me if you don’t know much about it.”

Lin Jinyu nodded and said, "Sir, you are an official now, should I adjust the time I study with you?"

"Now that you have made a small success in your essay, you mainly need to break the topic to write an essay. From now on, I will give you a topic every three days, and you will make two articles for each topic. Come over every two days and I will show you." Mr. Xu said, " Lao Xu is not on duty today, I have fresh carp here, he has been thinking about it many times, let's have a drink at noon."

"Yeah, I should practice my drinking capacity." Lin Jinyu was 12 utterly unconvinced when he thought of his capacity to drink in just one bowl!
