Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Lin Daiyu was very happy to see her younger brother, she dragged Lin Jinyu to sit down on the couch, and asked about some family matters.

Lin Jinyu spread her hands and sighed, "I really don't know what's going on, the master is so smart, it's not unreasonable for the master to look at it, but the two of them can't deal with each other."

Wei Yu took out the snacks given by the palace and presented it, and said with a smile, "Master has entered the palace again?"

"Well, the master likes me very much. Today, the emperor went to the palace to watch a play, and the master brought me along." Lin Jinyu smiled, "This is a reward from the queen mother, sister, try it, I think it is better than our family's." Make it taste better."

Lin Daiyu drank tea, picked one to eat, and smiled with crooked eyes, "It's all in the care of the husband, so you are so blessed. Even if you are at the husband's house, you should try to persuade him more. Dear father and son, where are you?" There is an overnight feud."

Lin Jinyu was silent for a while, and then said, "I see that the master is very strict, sir, he said something wrong, so he just slapped him."

Lin Daiyu smiled, "Strict father and loving mother, isn't it the same in our family before? Father also taught you a lot, which is not unreasonable. You admire your husband, but don't fight for him. He is the father and son." Well, sir, you have learned a lesson, so you don’t necessarily have to hold grudges against Mr. Xu.”

Lin Jinyu judged others by himself, and felt that it really made sense.After talking to my sister for a while, I went to Xu's mansion.In fact, when he got off the car, the atmosphere between the father and son was not harmonious enough. Lin Jinyu was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, and the sky would pass after dark.

Uncle Baozi no longer had smile lines on his face, and when he saw Lin Jinyu pull and whispered a few words.

Damn, it took a lot of work.

In the water pavilion where Lin Jinyu went first, Xu Ziwen was still the same, leaning on the couch to read a book, if it wasn't for the serious injury on his face, Lin Jinyu really couldn't tell that he had just been beaten.Xu Ziwen's mouth hurt when he smiled, and when he touched it, he said with a gentle self-mockery, "I really shouldn't have let you go back."

Lin Jinyu went to sit next to her husband. Although Xu Junqing was very kind to him, he had been with Xu Ziwen since he was a child, so he naturally favored Xu Ziwen in his heart. Seeing that half of his face was blue and purple, a slap on his face was red, and the corners of his lips were torn. Cracked, I was really a little annoyed in my heart, thinking of my sister's instructions, I persuaded, "Master finally came here, Mr. is happy, why are you still stubborn with Master? It's just a slap in the face."

Xu Ziwen stared, picked up the book, and muttered a little awkwardly, "Who said I'm happy? If he doesn't come, I'm at ease. When he comes, he just meddles, and he's so verbose that it kills me."

What Sister Daiyu said was really reasonable. Lin Jinyu got her husband's pulse and said with a smile, "Anyway, I have been with him for more than ten years. No matter how many times I have watched the show, I don't seem to be happy today. I called you twice, sir I didn’t even hear it, and I still hummed and sang along.”

Xu Ziwen rolled up the book and tapped Lin Jinyu's head, and scolded, "Stop talking. Don't dawdle with me. The old man is waiting for you. Now you are his favorite." At the end of the sentence, there was still a bit of sourness.

Seeing that Xu Ziwen was in good spirits, Lin Jinyu stood up with a smile, "It's almost dinner time, I'll say something nice for Mr.

Xu Ziwen really wanted to save face and continued to sway, and he spoke duplicity, "You dare to talk too much, and you will have no good fruit for a while. I am not wrong at all. You should stop bowing your head and humiliating me. When you go out, ask Baozi to make a pot of tea to come in."

"Got it." Lin Jinyu knew the current affairs and continued to be a panacea.

When Baozi heard that there was an order for tea, he squeezed Lin Jinyu's chubby face happily, and said with a smile, "Master Jinyu, there is your favorite steamed shad tonight, go quickly. I'm going to make tea for you. " Baozi walked away with a smile, Lin Jinyu saw that Baozi's fat butt raised the back of her robe, she couldn't help but reached out and touched her back, determined to lose weight and never become the second Uncle Baozi.

Lin Jinyu strolled over and met Xu Junqing's guards outside the main courtyard. The guards clasped their fists and saluted, "Master Sun is here, Grandpa has ordered, please go in directly."

Lin Jinyu returned the gift and entered the main courtyard. Xu Junqing was sitting behind the desk reading a book. Both father and son had a good habit of not letting go of the book, but Xu Junqing seemed to be a rigorous person with a straight and upright sitting posture. No wonder he couldn't understand Xu Ziwen's lazy appearance. Woolen cloth.

"Jinyu has met the master." Lin Jinyu made a long bow, Xu Junqing's brows were full of tenderness, she got up from behind the desk and helped Lin Jinyu up, and said with a smile, "I just came back, let's talk in the room."

Lin Jinyu followed Xu Junqing to the bedroom with a smile. The two sat on the small kang covered with wolf fur mats. Someone brought a hand stove. Lin Jinyu hugged her and said with a smile, "Seeing that Master is in a good mood, I feel relieved. Sir, I am afraid of you." Still angry, ask me to make amends to Master on his behalf."

Xu Junqing touched Lin Jinyu's face and said with a smile, "I know you are sensible. However, Ziwen couldn't say such a thing. He just confessed his mistake with a few perfunctory words in front of me. When I turned around, I was afraid He still does his own thing. In his eyes, it’s all other people’s faults, where is his fault?”

Lin Jinyu couldn't help laughing, "Master, you really know my husband well."

Xu Junqing sighed with a smile, "If I want to admit being angry with him, I would have died of anger a thousand times already. Sigh, he hasn't made any progress in the past ten years. Look at him in the car, even King Zhongshun dares to arrange it? This man Is there something inherently wrong with people? It's common man's behavior to be quick for a while, after living for decades, suffering all these hardships, and not learning to be cautious, how can I not be angry?"

Xu Junqing probably said these things to him because he held back for too long, Lin Jinyu thought to himself.Little did they know that Xu Junqing just wanted to lay a good foundation first, so that Lin Jinyu would not resent her son in the future.Lin Jinyu laughed along Xu Junqing's words, "I also feel that since the master came, the husband is very different from before. I have been with him since I was a child, and I think he is like a fairy. There is nothing I don't know. When I arrived in the capital , I have met some people with my husband. The teacher is polite, even if he doesn't like it, he never embarrasses others, and he often teaches me to be cautious in words and deeds. I think, probably when the master comes, the husband relaxes , it’s inevitable to be more casual.”

Xu Junqing stroked Lin Jinyu's head and said with a smile, "Where is such a thing?"

Lin Jinyu's face was dull, and she said softly, "Before, when my father was alive, I did things and said things according to my whim. I always felt that even if I made a mistake, my father was behind me. Later, my parents passed away one after another, and my sister and I arrived In Kyoto, there is no one to protect our siblings anymore. After being bullied a few times, you will grow your memory. Naturally, you must be careful in everything, otherwise you will not even have a place to reason when you are bullied. Master, you are far away in Shandong. For so many years The gentleman is wandering alone, and he has not made a single mistake. I think, firstly, it is because the gentleman handles things well; secondly, he does not want you to worry at home. Otherwise, the emperor would not like the gentleman so much. Now you This way, Mr. is hard-spoken and very happy in his heart. Maybe he feels that you are here, and he can rest at ease for a few days. He no longer needs to be cautious in front of everyone, and his words and deeds are unavoidable. Mr. has no children, and he is the most trustworthy person. It is the master, in front of the master, naturally there is no need to pretend to be like Zhuge in Longzhong."

After hearing this, Xu Junqing was relieved, and felt sorry for Lin Jinyu's understanding, and said with even more pity, "Oh, his temper is hard to change." Xu Ziwen is Xu Junqing's youngest son. She loves him, but Xu Ziwen is the most disobedient, and now he is mingling with Tu Jingchen lawlessly, Xu Junqing looked at Lin Jinyu, "Do you know about Ziwen and the emperor?"

Lin Jinyu nodded, "Well, sir told me that he likes men." Pulling Xu Junqing's hand, Lin Jinyu smiled, "Master, it's not unusual to like men. Are you angry because your husband refuses to get married? If you are worried Mister has no offspring, why not adopt a child for Mister in the clan?"

Xu Junqing's mind suddenly moved, and he asked tentatively, "Jinyu, Ziwen's temperament is different from ordinary people. He has a very high vision, and ordinary people may not get along well. For so many years, his relationship with you is like father and son. It needs to be deep. Then you, would you like to get married in the future and adopt a child to Ziwen, so that when he gets old, he will have a successor?"

Lin Jinyu still regarded it as something important, and smiled generously, "Oh, this, no problem, I will marry her seven or eight wives in the future, and let my husband choose a few more. If he likes it, just pick one. Anyway, I I don’t like raising children. I am too happy to be raised by someone. Master, don’t worry, when I was young, I often lay in the same bed with my husband. My husband is just like my father. My son is his grandson. , Master doesn’t have to worry about this at all.”

After hearing this, Xu Junqing felt as if he had heard the sky, and there was no hidden worry in her heart. She hugged Lin Jinyu's shoulder and smiled, "Okay, I am relieved to have Jinyu's words! Good boy! It is really his that Ziwen can have you as his apprentice." Good luck. You are thirteen this year, and you will marry a wife in a few years, so tell the master, what kind of girl do you want to marry?"

Lin Jinyu stretched out her chubby hand and said the conditions, "First, you must have a good temper and not be too aggressive. If I take a concubine or something in the future, it will definitely not work; and you can't be too soft and let others bully you. How will you manage the house in the future? "

Xu Junqing smiled and nodded, "That makes sense."

"Second, the appearance should be above average. This has something to do with how my son will look in the future. If he really married a woman without salt, it would be too ugly to have a child. How would he be seen by others?" Lin Jinyu stretched out her third finger, "No. Three, the family style is good. The brothers in the family must be of good character, otherwise the brother-in-law and brother-in-law will be confused in the future. I only have these three requirements, marry a wife and a virtuous person, accept concubines and beauty, the ancients will not deceive me."

Although the son can't be counted on, the grandson is really normal and has a lot to do. Xu Junqing was overjoyed, "Okay, I will pay attention to you when I go back, and make sure you are satisfied."

Lin Jinyu smiled, "Then I will trouble Master."

"I can't wait to arrange this kind of happy event for you." Xu Junqing completely put Xu Ziwen's anger behind him, and put his arms around Lin Jinyu to calculate, "Well, you can start preparing for the spring now, don't slack off. I will let the princess look at a few more houses Girl, after you get your name on the gold list, I will ask someone to be a matchmaker. You don't have to worry about the dowry, I will take care of it. Just study well."

Lin Jinyu didn't mind being tied up in a car with the Xu family at all. He worshiped Xu Ziwen as his teacher since he was a child, and because of the Xu family's relationship, he went to and from the court. Anyway, he was destined to be labeled as the Xu family. Seeing how the master looks like, he is also wholeheartedly for him good.As for whether you like it or not, anyway, men and women are not allowed to meet privately these days, and you can marry several, at worst, take a few more concubines.It can be seen from this that Lin Jinyu was completely assimilated by the feudal landlord's thinking, and quite enjoyed it.

The old and the young chatted with laughter until dark, and the young man came in according to the time to ask about the meal.

Xu Junqing smiled, "It's in the east chamber, Jinyu, come and have dinner with me."

Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "Master, let me ask you to come over and use it together, it makes you feel uncomfortable alone."

Xu Junqing was happy that their father and son were close, so he agreed.

Rongguo Mansion has been depressed for several days, since Jia Baoyu received the imperial decree to enter the palace, it was like a ray of sunshine piercing through the haze, and the whole Rongguo Mansion was ignited with the dawn of life.

Seeing Jia Baoyu coming back, Jia's mother narrowed her eyes into a line of laughter. After Jia Baoyu saluted, she hugged him to ask questions. Call us two into the palace together, I see him as if looking in a mirror, his appearance is the same? Later, I talked to him, his poems and essays are ten times better than mine. I wanted to invite him to our house , He said that he was in a hurry and did not prepare the etiquette and did not perform the post, so he did not come because of the etiquette. Old lady, let's write a post for the Zhen family. I heard that there are several sisters in his family, all of whom are good at poetry and painting. "

Jia Mu even said yes, Wang Xifeng asked with a smile, "Baoyu, is there anyone else besides you?"

Jia Baoyu laughed, "The emperor, the emperor, the empress dowager, the loyal old Qiansui, several princes, as well as Xu's son-in-law, Xu Xueshi, and cousin Lin are all here. There are so many people, and the emperor even praised our little opera singer for his good singing." Woolen cloth."

Seeing that the smile on Jiamu's face was fading, Wang Xifeng asked with a smile, "Why did Cousin Lin go too?"

"I don't know. Cousin Lin was there when we went. Today, Zhongshun Qiantui made a pair to mock Xu Xueshi. Zhen Baoyu and I were wrong, but Cousin Lin scolded back severely. Jia Baoyu said uneasy, "I was scared at the time, Cousin Lin is really brave."

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You said it in a hurry, knowing that we are not lucky to enter the palace, you deliberately whetted our appetite."

Jia Baoyu said, "Today Xu Xueshi wears a jade-green robe, and Zhongshun Qiantui published a couplet: The frog at the bottom of the well wears a green jacket. Cousin Lin saw Zhongshun Qiantui wearing a crimson shirt, and he said the right sentence: "Down in the soup." Crabs wear red robes."

Wang Xifeng laughed "puchi", and Tanchun and others were all smiling. Jia's mother smiled a little more gleefully, and put her arms around Baoyu and said, "Jinyu has been taught by few people since she was a child, that's how she talks. There is no sense of proportion. The King of Zhongshun is the emperor's beloved son, the prince's dignity, how can he be insulted? This picture is happy for a while, I don't know what will happen in the future? Baoyu, remember, you must be careful when you enter the palace, and you must be careful. I would rather not open my mouth, otherwise, wouldn’t it be a disaster for the family?”

Jia Baoyu nodded, and Jia's mother smiled, "You've done a good job. I'll post a message to the Zhen family tomorrow. I think Zhen Baoyu will come to Beijing ahead of schedule, and it's likely that he's here to prepare for the exam. We are good family friends. Since the two of you are suitable, why not study together?"

"Yes. The old lady invites them first. Brother Zhen and I have made an appointment to study together. They just came to the capital and haven't found a suitable husband. Let me have a companion. If you compare the two of you, you will improve your studies faster." Jia Baoyu smiled and tugged at Jiamu's sleeve.

Jia's mother was even more delighted, "Baoyu said it very well. Feng girl, don't wait for tomorrow, I will send the post today, and tell Mrs. Zhen that since the two children have similar temperaments, Why don't you make an appointment to go to school together tomorrow, don't delay your studies."

Wang Xifeng smiled and asked someone not to mention it.
