Edge of the Red Chamber

Intermittently, it rained continuously for 27 days, and it didn't clear up until the [-]th.It's all right, this day the government of the Marquis of the Kingdom of Zhen will be removed.There were only the old lady and Lord Hou in the whole Hou Mansion. Luo Changping was only fifteen, so he deliberately posted a post, and asked Mrs. Zhao to help take care of him in the back house.Not to bother the two masters, Lin Hai, Lin Qing and Lin Jue were invited outside.

Daiyu was thinking about not going to visit the old lady for a long time, and before school was over, she made an appointment with Lin Jun, and went to have lunch with the old lady after school.

Muyu was watching a few women sweeping the floor, and when they saw their sisters coming in, she rushed up to greet them, "The girls are here," while passing in, and said softly, "The old lady is feeling uncomfortable, and she didn't even let her eat. Biography. The old lady is very happy to see the girls, and I'm afraid she can still use some of them."

Daiyu also lowered her voice and asked, "What's going on? Who made the old lady angry?"

Mu Yu shook his head and said: "I don't know, it was fine yesterday, but when I woke up in the morning, I didn't feel very energetic, and I didn't like eating raw for breakfast, I only used half a bowl of Yutian japonica rice porridge."

The bamboo curtain rang, and the rosary lifted the curtain from the house, and said with a smile: "The girls are here, and the old lady said that it has been raining for so long, and the road is covered with moss. Let someone sweep it up today, and I will teach you tomorrow." Come girls, girls come first."

Daiyu wondered, or maybe she didn't sleep well last night.Just thinking about it, the old lady called them from the room, "Dai'er and Jun'er are here?"

The voice was calm and calm, it didn't look like he was sick, and the two hurried in.

Mu Yu was probably right, since they came in, the smile on the old lady's face has not gone down, only a trace of sadness can be seen faintly.The two pretended not to know, and smiled and went forward to say hello.

The old lady beckoned the two to sit down beside her, and asked, "Where did you come from? Have you eaten yet?"

Lin Jun smiled and said, "Not yet, Tete is here to eat with the old lady." After speaking, she raised her head and asked Rosary, "Hurry up and set the meal, the two of us who came here are already hungry, so we are waiting Where's the meal?"

The last haze in the old lady's eyes dissipated, she pointed at her and couldn't help laughing, and said: "Isn't your family short of food? You're so anxious." Even though she said so, she urged to pass the meal one after another.

With their sisters chatting and laughing with them, the old lady ate well, and even ate a bowl of green rice.After dinner, I chatted and laughed with the old lady again, and didn't go back at noon, and slept in the same bed with the old lady.

Getting up and combing her hair, suddenly a little servant girl ran in panting, her little face was stained with rouge, and she said intermittently: "The second master is back, old lady, the second master is back."

Before Rosary could yell at her, she swallowed it back, and became happy again.The old lady hurriedly asked, "Where did you go? This child..."

Before saying a word, there was another chaotic sound on the Xianglian curtain, and the door curtain was lifted again. A tall figure walked over a few steps, knelt down in front of the old lady's knees, and said, "Grandson pays respects to the old ancestor. Okay?" Not Lin Yan but which one.

"Okay, okay, okay," the old lady said three times in a row, tears rolled down, she touched Lin Yan's face with trembling hands, looked at it, and said, "It's dark, and it's thinner," thinking of Lin Yan again He was still kneeling, and hurriedly pulled his hand, "Good boy, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, carefully freeze the bones, it's not stubborn." Talking about suffering, he scolded the little boy who followed him for not being able to serve him, It is not possible to describe them all.

I just said that the person came back, but before I could react, I saw the person afterward, like a dream.Daiyu was happy but couldn't believe it, as if in a dream, she couldn't recover for a while.Happy to happy, opened his mouth, but couldn't help complaining, and blamed with red eyes: "Why didn't the second brother send a letter back first."

Lin Yan got up, looked Daiyu up and down, then turned to Lin Jun, looked him up and down, and then said with a smile, "They've grown taller. I remember that Dai'er was only this tall when I left." It's all here with me now."

The brothers and sisters were friendly and friendly, and the old lady was also happy to see her, saying: "She is growing up, so naturally she looks different every day. We don't feel it when we look at her every day."

Seeing that he is clean, he knows that he has been groomed, so feel free to let him talk.Pointing to the first chair on the east side, he said, "Sit and talk." Rosary made his favorite tea, and a few maids also brought various snacks, dried meat and so on.

Lin Yan was thinner, but his spirit was better than before. The old lady still couldn't help scolding: "You child, you are so good outside, you don't know how to come back after going out." Painful, heartbroken again, "Have you eaten lunch yet?" Before Lin Yan could speak, he commanded the rosary and said, "It's too late to cook now, go to the kitchen and see if there is any ready-made hot water , Bring some over here first, and then pick what Yan'er likes to eat."

After the rosary was gone, the old lady remembered something again, and told Muyu again, "Go to the second gate and see which one is there, and send someone to send a letter to your master, third master and uncle, so that they will be happy too." Happy."

Then he turned his head and said to Lin Yan: "Don't look at your father's words, but he is still worried in his heart. As a parent, when will you not worry about your children? How can you not worry about your children after you have been away for more than half a year? You asked someone to deliver moon cakes, and your father was so happy, saying that you have grown up and know how to be filial. This time, you are not allowed to go away for half a year. Your father and I are both elderly people. Who knows when it will be gone."

Lin Yan felt a great pain in his heart. Years ago he said that he wanted to go out for a walk. Lin Hai agreed without any hesitation, and even said a few words of encouragement.He always thought that father and mother were different.When he was young, his mother always tried to keep him around, while his father always encouraged and even helped him to go out.But he forgot that his father will grow old too, and when he grows old, his thoughts will change.The father has reached the age of providing for his life, and he will hope that his children and grandchildren will be around his knees.

And he, not only failed to fulfill his father's wish, but also asked his father to worry about him, which is really unfilial.

"Old Ancestor, I understand." He stopped Muyu again and said, "I have sent people to Mao'er Hutong."

"Sure enough." The old lady was relieved to see that Lin Yan was much more stable than before, and knew how to be considerate of the elderly.After wiping away his tears, he carefully asked about the big and small things along the way, and Lin Yan told them one by one.

The elderly don't care how majestic the famous mountains and rivers are, and they don't care about the knowledge and knowledge of hermits and celebrities. What they care about is whether their children and grandchildren eat three meals a day, whether they eat on time, and whether they eat well.After hearing this, the old lady kept saying that she was suffering, and finally said: "It's good when you come back, and I will teach the kitchen to cook some tonics, so don't lose your health."

Lin Yan said with a smile: "Compared to home, it's better to be outside, but compared to most people, it's still a blessing." He also said: "Being outside also has its advantages. My ancestors watched me lose weight. In fact, I am in better health than when I was at home." Then he asked how everyone in the family was doing.

It took an hour or two to say this, and no one thought of punishing the servant girl who broke in recklessly.

Speaking of Lin Fei, the old lady laughed and said: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, your sister-in-law has added a nephew to you? Bi Feier is more like your brother, as if carved out of the same mold .”

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Which day was it born?"

The old lady said: "Sixteen, he is the only one who can choose the time. He came out as soon as there was a glimmer of light that day. That cry did not lift the roof off."

Everyone laughed, and Daiyu said: "He not only picks the time, but also picks the day. He is also more mischievous than Feier. We have a good holiday, but he wants to come out, so we can't even have a good holiday."

Lin Yan teased her: "Is it more important for the holidays or your nephew? See if I don't tell my brother when I turn around."

Daiyu pouted, and said softly: "The old lady also said that you have grown up, but I think you are still the same. You are such a grown-up person, and you can only sue. You just say, the elder brother is not like you, and I won't say anything again. I."

Seeing the young girl's delicate appearance, Lin Yan felt warm in his heart, and said with a smile, "I will teach you a lesson."

All of a sudden, Lin Fei's nanny came holding Lin Fei.

He is young, has a poor memory, and has always been raised by Lu Huixian. He doesn't see Lin Yan often, but he also knows that he has an uncle, and he always sees him in a few days.When Lin Yan first left, he asked him twice, but he couldn't meet each other, so he forgot.

Seeing Lin Yan now, he no longer recognizes him.

When they came in, they greeted Lin Yan first, but when they saw Lin Yan alone, they didn't bow. They looked up and down Lin Yan with big black eyes, and asked, "Are you the uncle Dad said?"

The old lady patted him on the back lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Naughty, why don't you be rude when you see uncle? Don't you still talk about it on weekdays, why don't you call him when you see him?"

Lin Fei pursed his lips, Lin Yan looked funny, and before he could react, he hugged him and said with a smile, "I am the uncle your father said." Then he turned to the old lady and said, "Like me, Not like big brother." Very proudly.

When it was over, he said to Lin Fei: "You are not allowed to call everyone uncle, just like this, first ask clearly, and you will be given a greeting gift when you call uncle." The old lady scolded him for teaching bad children.

After Lin Hai and the others got the letter, they didn't keep it for dinner, and returned after seeing off the guests.

Lu Huixian is still in confinement and cannot see the wind. The late autumn in the north is bitingly cold.For her convenience, the reception banquet was arranged in the main room.

The Lin family has a small population and is a family, so they didn't care about those customs and sat around a table.

It's so lively.

It was getting colder day by day, and since Lin Yan came back, the house was a little busier than before.

Lin Yan's marriage is on the agenda again.

Originally, he didn't expect him to rush back at this moment, so he said that Lin Ming's full moon banquet only invited a few close relatives and frequented families to have fun together, and it was also because he was afraid of ruining the child's blessing.

But because of Lin Yan's return home, it was obviously Lin Ming's full moon feast, but all the wives and grandmas in each family were asking Lin Yan inside and outside their words.
