Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Prince Tengxi moved to the Minister of the Ministry of War. The news was like a timely gift to Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue. Mrs. Wang generously rewarded Zhou Rui with 20 taels of silver.

Aunt Xue said aloud to the Buddha, and then asked, "Have you done what the Elder Master said about Pan'er?"

"Returning to my aunt, the old man got very angry, saying that the capital city is no better than Jinling, and we can only clear it up when the old man comes back." Zhou Rui said.

"I'm relieved." Aunt Xue finally showed a little joy on her face, and met Mrs. Wang's eyes, and the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

With such a long face, Mrs. Wang finished her makeup and announced the good news to the old lady in high spirits.

Jia's mother laughed and said, "My uncle has been out of Beijing for four years, so I think he should come back."

Wang Xifeng also showed joy, and said with a smile, "My father is getting old, it's better to go back to Beijing, he lives nearby, it's easy to move around, and he can visit him often."

Jia's mother laughed and said, "What I said is that when uncle and master come back, girl Feng and Lian'er will go to greet your father, and you will go back and have fun for a few days."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "The old lady still loves me."

Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "When I was at home, I heard from my father that Mr. Wang is a man of both civil and martial arts. He is a rare all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. Even the emperor has a lot of reliance on Mr. Wang and entrusts him with important tasks. The Minister of the Ministry of War is also the Minister of the Cabinet. Once you enter the center, you will be crowned a marquis and be granted a title just around the corner."

It was indescribably pleasant for Mrs. Wang to hear these words. Mrs. Wang glanced at Lin Jinyu with a smile, saw the kid's fake smile, and said, "I have nothing else to ask but to wait for Pan'er to be cleared of his grievances." , his aunt and Bao girl will be able to sleep peacefully. Alas, if I say Bao girl is calm in the end, his aunt is at a loss for what to do. Fortunately, Bao girl can be stable. What a thoughtful consolation. Otherwise, his aunt is blessed to have Bao girl by her side."

Lin Jinyu smiled and said to Jia Mu, "Grandma, I'm going back to study."

Mother Jia laughed, "Go ahead. Estimate for yourself, and don't work too hard to hurt your nerves."

"Yes, I see."

When Lin Jinyu left, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Old lady, I thought, their sisters are not very old, and Zhu'er and his wife have to take care of Lan, so it's better to ask Bao girl to come and accompany her often. Ordinary everyone's daughter is much stronger, with her together, she can also point out their sisters and female reds."

Jia's mother said lightly on her face, "Bao girl originally lived in the mansion, but she didn't come here because of her brother's accident these days. It's good to have a companion to play with, little sisters. The girls of our family The nanny taught the nuns that there is nothing lacking, and pointing needles at women is just for their entertainment. If you like it, you will stitch a few times as if playing. Such a rich lady will still be able to do needlework in the future. Now girl Yun is here too , it is lively, if there is nothing else at Bao girl's house, come to chat and laugh together, I can only be happy."

"Yes, the old lady is very thoughtful." Mrs. Wang's happy mood was suddenly chilled.

Jia Mu was holding a small cup of tea and drinking it carefully, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, but she was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and the historians are not so light-headed!The daughter of my father's mansion asked a merchant's daughter to give advice!

When Shi Xiangyun saw Lin Daiyu for the first time, he took Lin Daiyu's hand to look at her carefully, and said with a smile, "My dear, I have only seen such a beauty in paintings before, she is really a nine-day fairy descending to the mortal world."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, she sat down holding Shi Xiangyun's hand, and said, "Your mouth looks like honey, no wonder all the sisters are talking about you. Although I haven't seen my sister before, I also know that my sister's three Five fun things."

Shi Xiangyun snorted tenderly, and said with a smile, "Sister Tanchun must have said it, but she is quick-talking, as if she loves her sister-in-law."

Lin Daiyu heard that Shi Xiangyun really did not distinguish between "two" and "love", "puchi" laughed, "my sister, try this dessert, I lived in Yangzhou since I was a child, these are southern dim sum, knowing my sister comes, the small kitchen has a morning meal Just made it, it’s still fresh.”

Tanchun smiled and said, "Yes, sister Yun, we are all looking forward to your coming."

Shi Xiangyun lost her parents since she was a child, and grew up with her uncles. She is used to the warmth and coldness of people. The people in Jia's mansion are kind to her, but no one has ever been so caring. She has prepared something for her. Shi Xiangyun lowered his head and picked up a small piece. Pastry, the eye circles turned red and then disappeared, looked up and said with a smile, "I can smell the fragrance from a long distance, it must be good."

Shi Xiangyun has a lively personality, and always smiles in front of outsiders. She never hurts, sighs, and is quite sassy and lively. No wonder everyone likes her.

In Lin Jinyu's heart, she would also like her sister to play jokes with Shi Xiangyun, and sent someone to send a few small things bought from the outside, such as a set of teacups made out of bamboo, a root-carved pen holder, a wind chime made of shells, and other small objects. , It's not worth much, it's simple, and the workmanship is still good.

Manao smiled and said, "The uncle said, send it to the girls and sisters to play. If the girls don't mind it, it's good to pick one."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Understood, even if Baba sent it here, it was his heart. What is Jinyu busy with?"

"The uncle is making a fuss, and he will go to Mr.'s place tomorrow."

Xiao Yu brought her agate to drink tea and talk. Seeing the plaything on the table, Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "I've never seen this before. It's really interesting. Sister Lin, please thank Cousin Lin for us. Cousin Lin Why don't you go to school to study?"

"Jinyu has a gentleman who is very knowledgeable. Since he was selected as a candidate, the husband doesn't want him to do his daily homework. He just set aside some questions for him to learn to solve." Lin Daiyu took a sip of the incense tablet and said with a smile, Go there once every three days, and my husband will explain the article to him."

Shi Xiangyun took a small teacup made of bamboo, looked at the verdant green on it, and said with a smile, "Cousin Lin is really knowledgeable, and he has gained fame for such a small urine. The two older brothers in my family are several years older than Cousin Lin. The donated prison student. Now that the second elder brother has also gone to the school, I don’t know when he will win the toad palace.”

Tanchun smiled and said, "Second elder brother fishes for three days and hangs the net for two days. He is not a serious student. I know you are here today, but I don't want to go to school. If it wasn't for my wife being in a bad mood these days, he would definitely You have to hang on to it."

Shi Xiangqu frowned, "I've heard about it too, but I don't know much about it. I haven't seen Sister Bao this time, and they are all relatives."

In terms of blood relatives, they are naturally closer to sisters Daiyu, but the matter is related to the Xue family, and the daughters don't want to talk too much. Daiyu smiled, "The old lady had planned to pick you up a long time ago, but it was delayed because of this matter. We just moved. I have been in Kyoto for a few days, except for my grandmother’s family, I only know Mr. Jinyu. I have never been out of the second school, and Jinyu has never met Miss Bao’s brother. Later, when I heard that the officers and soldiers came to arrest her, I was scared to death. I don’t dare to let Jinyu go out. This mansion lives with no grievances or enmity, so I don’t know how to solve this matter. Seeing Uncle Xue and Aunt Bao, she definitely can’t do such a thing, but after thinking about it again , Kyoto has a population of tens of millions, how could those people just point out Miss Bao's brother."

Tanchun said, "It's not because of this, Sister Bao hasn't come here for several days. I heard that Aunt Xue sheds her face in tears every day, and Sister Bao has to take care of her mother every day, and also has to take care of the affairs of Lixiangyuan."

Xichun sneered, "Brother Xue, he defected to the mansion because he was beaten to death in Jinling. Logically, I am from the West mansion, but I live here with my sisters. Everyone can see what Sister Lin is like. She is a decent niece, and she lives in the mansion justifiably. If I were Sister Bao, and my brother bought murder to kill the decent nephew in the mansion, I would have no face to come here again."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Forget it, we are not angry at all, I, the sufferer, is relieved, and there is the lord Qingtian of the yamen."

Mrs. Wang thought that her brother would be foolproof, but she just asked Lixiangyuan to prepare to take Xue Pan out of prison.The Xue family ran into trouble. The head housekeeper, Xue Shun, was in charge of delivering prison meals to Xue Pan every day. In the past, a hundred taels of silver could be sent in, but this time he hit a wall.

After all the good words, I paid more than a dozen taels before carrying my breakfast and entered the gate. As soon as I entered, two cell bosses were sitting on the bench beside the small square table picking their teeth. Xue Shun bowed, and the cell boss said, "What are you doing?"

"Mr. Jun, bring some food to Mr. Xue Pan." Xue Shun said with his head bowed.

"Bring it, check!" The cell leader spat on the ground, stepped on the bench with one foot, and squinted at Xue Shun, "You are not allowed to send things around in this prison. Three meals a day, the prison Take care of the food!"

Xue Shun took out two silver ingots and put them on the table, and said with an apologetic smile, "It's not a respect, I invite the military master to drink!"

The jailer swept his sleeves to the ground, and said "Yah", "Looking at the master is a beggar! Get lost!"

"Don't dare." Xue Shun obediently took out a bank note, stuffed it into the hands of the prison guard, and said with a smile, "Master Cheng Jun takes care of my uncle."

The prison guard glanced at the amount above, then sat down lazily, poured a glass of wine and drank it.Xue Shun smiled, lowered his head to take the food box, but stepped on it with one foot first, and cell leader B said to cell leader A, "Look, people only see the big brother, the younger brother is just a display!"

Xue Shun had no choice but to pay for more money, and the two prison guards looked at the fat chickens and ducks inside, picked up the good ones with a smile and put them on their desks, and waved their sleeves, "Give it to me, I still have to treat you!"

Xue Shun wiped the sweat from his forehead, bent over and lowered his head, carrying the food box which was more than half empty, and went to see the little master.
