Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Ever since Lin Ruhai agreed with his son to go to the capital, Jia Min and his daughter were completely in a state of preparation for war. From Lin Jinyu's quilt to Lin Jinyu's underwear, there was nothing he didn't worry about.

Because Lin Jinyu went in person, in addition to the annual ceremony, he also had to prepare gifts for the brothers and sisters.Lin Daiyu smiled, "Mother, although only my younger brother will go, I also know that my uncle's family has a few sisters who are very good. My daughter has prepared some gifts for the sisters."

Lin Daiyu's eldest girl, Wei Yu, held a red sandalwood and gold inlaid treasure box, put it on the table, opened it, and there were four plum blossom gold hairpins inlaid with rubies and reeled silk prepared by Lin Daiyu, exquisite and unique, most suitable for her daughter's home. Add four pairs of jadeite bracelets, clear water and clear emerald green, all very precious.

Jia Min rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Very good. There are four cousins ​​of yours at your grandmother's house, but your eldest cousin Yuan Chun has gone to the palace, so you can't see her. I heard that the lady from Dongfu is also in front of your grandmother. Keep it up, you are very thoughtful."

"The cousin's gift, mother helped me prepare it." Lin Jinyu smiled.

"Your sister has already prepared it for you." Jia Min smiled, "You didn't go this time for a long time. You will come back after staying for a few days. The family is also waiting for the New Year."

"Yes, I remember." Lin Jinyu asked with a smile, "Mother and sister, if there is anything you want, tell me, I will buy it and bring it back."

Lin Daiyu smiled and took out a purse and handed it to Lin Jinyu, saying, "Come back early, don't let my mother worry about me. You can't be as clean as you are at home when you go out. I embroidered this for you. Wear it for you. "

Lin Jinyu is tender on the outside and familiar on the inside, how could she like to wear gold collars and bracelets like a child to send a name talisman for a long life, let alone like Jia Baoyu, who looks like the boy who is good at money in the painting.

Taking Daiyu's sister's purse, Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "It's so beautiful, my sister's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Look at this fish, it looks like it's alive."

"It's really a poor mouth." Lin Daiyu tilted her head and smiled, she has already seen the beauty of the future at such a young age.

Lin Jinyu thought to herself, Sister Daiyu, brother will never let you suffer.

Seeing an auspicious day, Lin Jinyu followed the family boat, accompanied by Mr. Xu, the housekeeper and many servants and guards of the Lin family, with two boats full of New Year's goods, and went north along the river to see the Rongguo Mansion.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Lin Jinyu looked at the two full boats of New Year's goods at the back, and sneered secretly, "Forget you if you're exhausted!"Even the inheritance of a helpless orphan girl has to be counted, it's your fault that you ransacked the house.

"Master, it's windy outside, go and rest in the cabin." Originally, the big housekeeper didn't need to send New Year's goods, but this year was special, Lin Jinyu followed along to join in the fun, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min discussed, and the thoughtful big Butler Lin Zhong sent out.

Lin Jinyu smoothed the ruffled hairs on the collar of her neck, nodded with a smile, and asked, "Where is Mr.?"

"Mr. Xu is making tea in his room."

"That's a blessing." Lin Jinyu smiled and went in with the butler. The cabin was burning with high-quality silver frost charcoal, which was extremely warm, and because it was on the river, it didn't look dry.

Mr. Xu likes tasting tea very much, while Lin Jinyu likes to watch people make tea. The tedious process makes Mr. make it indescribably elegant and beautiful.Sitting cross-legged on the mat, after the gentleman poured the tea into the incense cup, he made a gesture of invitation and smiled, "Taste it?" At this time, the gentleman is no longer the strict teacher in the classroom. An ancient scholar with a clear breeze and a bright moon.

Lin Jinyu took a cup, smelled it, and drank it.Mr. Xu asked, "How?"

"It's okay." Except that the drink is a little more fragrant than usual, nothing else.

Mr. Xu was obviously dissatisfied with his disciple's perfunctory, sipping the tea ceremony, "Playing the piano with a cow means you are the kind of person."

Lin Jinyu changed to sitting on her knees, which was much more comfortable, and said with a smile, "I don't know much about these things, Mr. is so interested, but he is waiting to get Jiangxin water."

Mr. Xu is very satisfied with the intelligence of his disciples. The ancients were very particular about the quality of water when making tea. Mr. Xu who loves tea will naturally not miss Jiangxin Water.But Lin Jinyu went on to say, "I think the things in this river are not clean. Look at the boundaries along the river, people do all kinds of shabu-shabu and laundry by the river. And," Lin Jinyu approached Mr. Xu, softly said, "I Look at the convenient things of the people on the boat, they are just poured into the river, and the toilets are washed in it.”

Mr. Xu sprayed tea on Lin Jinyu's face, clutching his chest and coughing non-stop. Lin Jinyu hurriedly stretched out his small arms to comfort Mr. Xu, and brought tea to Mr. Xu to drink.

Mr. Xu retched directly, brushed away Lin Jinyu's hand, gritted his teeth, "Change the white water."

After tossing for a long time, Mr. Xu drank half a pot of warm water and ate a few more grapes to feel better. He pointed at Lin Jinyu and said, "Bastard, you deliberately disgust me, don't you?"

"How dare you, disciple." Lin Jinyu wiped off the tea on her face, and helped Mr. sit on the bed. The dog legs had to be beaten on Mr.'s shoulders. Mr. Xu leaned halfway on the head of the bed, closed his eyes and asked, "Since you got on the boat, how do you feel?" It's not good, why?"

"It's nothing." Lin Jinyu was indeed depressed, and said, "My parents are not in good health. I want to go out for a while, but I am worried about them."

This bed is a good-quality chicken-wing wood curved-ruler arhat bed, and there is a kang table in the middle. There are refreshments and fruits on the table. Mr. Xu pointed to the other side of the kang table, "Go and sit over there."

Mr. Xu has such sharp eyes, even Lin Jinyu can't keep his face the same.Originally, Mr. Xu was not willing to talk about these things, and worried that he would worry too much at a young age, so he said, "You have a lot of servants in your family, why do you ask me to inquire about your grandfather's family? Have you heard some gossip? gone?"

He hadn't heard of it, but it seemed that Mr. Xu knew about it. Did Mr. Xu mention these things to Lin Ruhai?Lin Jinyu lowered his head, pinched a purple grape and kneaded it in his hand, nodded in recognition, "Well, I heard from others that my grandfather's house is not very good, and I don't know whether my parents should tell me, so I want to go and see for myself .”

Mr. Xu enlightened, "After all, it's just your grandfather's house, not yours. Whether it's good or not, you can't just talk about it, and you can't just listen to outsiders. Even if you see it yourself, you may only see it." What's the use of it when the flowers are in full bloom?"

Of course it's useful, I've seen it and my mother will always believe it, and won't foolishly take robbers as relatives.Lin Jinyu raised her chubby face and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"

If you beat a snake with a stick, you can consider him a military advisor. Mr. Xu said with a smile, "Your surname is Lin, and your family name is Jia. If you study hard and become capable, these things will no longer be trivial."

Mr. Xu was vague, but Lin Jinyu understood and nodded, yes, it's useless for him to worry, the most urgent thing right now is to make two preparations.

First of all, transform my sister.Secondly, the Lin family's property must be preserved.

Lin Jinyu secretly clenched her fists, and grinned at her husband, showing her baby teeth, "Yes, you know more." She waved her small fist, full of pride, "I wish I could have been born ten years earlier!"

Mr. Xu was amused by his disciple's tricky behavior. Seeing that the worry on his brows had dissipated, he said with a smile, "Go get "Annals of the Yangtze River", and I will tell you about the scenery along the way."

"Oh."

Although there is a maid, since he is the one sent by the husband, he has to make a trip.After carrying the book, Lin Jinyu went to bed, still kneeling, and asked, "Sir, is your home in the capital?"

"Ah."

"Then do I have a mistress?" Lin Jinyu tilted her head, innocent and cute.

Mr. Xu laughed "puchi", his eyes were a little warm, he stretched out his hand to pinch Lin Jinyu's double chin, nodded and said, "Yes, I will introduce you when I have time."

"Oh, sir, then I'll find some time to visit my wife. I'll tell the housekeeper where the house is."

"I have to see if he's free?" Mr. Xu smiled, "Miss, um, that's a good title."

Seeing Mr. laughing foolishly by himself, Lin Jinyu smiled, "Does Mistress look good?"

"You little bastard, do you still know how to look good?" Contemptuously knocking on Lin Jinyu's head, Mr. Xu showed a smile full of nostalgia.Lin Jinyu reminded, "Sir, since you got on the boat, your words have become more and more impolite."

"Okay, do you still want to listen to my lecture?"

"listen."
