The Red Mansion Becomes Lin Daiyu

--

In the living room of the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruhai was talking with the emperor and the third prince, while the eighth prince, Shui Rui, sat on a chair in a regular manner and looked towards the door from time to time, hoping that the figure he had been thinking about day and night would soon come to an end. point appears.Early this morning, the emperor called him over and said that he was going to take him out for a walk. Although Shui Rui was puzzled, he changed his clothes and came out with his father. It was only after he got out of the palace that he realized that he was going to Master Lin's house. Although Rui didn't show it on the surface, he was still very happy in his heart. How long had he not seen that little girl? Every time he went, Master Lin always blocked her out with various reasons. But I always feel itchy when I can't see each other.This time, with Father and Emperor here, Master Lin will not stop himself from seeing Sister Daiyu, right?

Shui Rui couldn't tell why, since the first time he saw that little girl, he felt an inexplicable familiarity and kindness in his heart. When he couldn't see her, he always thought about her, wanted to take care of her and protect her, even though she It seems that he doesn't need his own protection, but as long as he does something even trivial for her, his heart will be sweet.I used to be young and didn't understand, I just thought it was a brother's desire to protect and be responsible for his sister, but as he got older, Shui Rui realized that it should be liking or love!

Glancing in the direction of the door again, Shui Rui felt anxious again, why did the time pass so slowly, didn't the servant come back for a while, why hasn't the girl arrived yet?I have really experienced the feeling of what the ancients said, "not seeing each other in one day is like three autumns apart".This is a feeling that I have never experienced before. How should I put it, it seems that there is a little joy and excitement in the anxiety, and there is a faint sense of happiness lingering in it. In the world, only this girl Lin can make me feel happy. Have you realized this feeling of contradiction and happiness, but do you like it?Shui Rui's series of actions could deceive others but not Lin Ruhai, who was clever in eyes and ears. Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, and took another breath to endure the anger that erupted on the spot.This kid dares to miss his own daughter at such a young age, hmph, he disagrees!

Just when the two had different feelings, Lin Daiyu came down to the living room surrounded by a group of maids, "Daddy, who is the guest?"

The crisp voice was like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, and the ding-dong slowly flowed through the ears, shocking Shui Rui into a daze, and looked up stupidly, Lin Daiyu was wearing a light purple jacket today, There is a double bun on the head, and the thin bangs are loosely floating in the ears, and they are as vigorous as their owners.The delicate oval face and the skin that can be broken by blowing bullets make people want to touch it, and it is much more prominent than before.

Seeing Shui Rui's stunned expression, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, hehe, his daughter is very charming, then thought of something, coughed lightly to warn the eighth prince who was still in a certain state of sluggishness .Shui Rui quickly looked away, embarrassed for a moment, and sat on the chair in a little panic.He lost his composure to such an extent in front of Sister Daiyu and Master Lin. It seemed that his self-control that he had always been proud of had completely collapsed in front of this girl.

"Yu'er, don't be naughty, I'll meet some guests soon!" Lin Ruhai said.

Only then did Lin Daiyu take a closer look at the people in the hall. It turned out that they were the emperor, the third prince and the eighth prince, and they quickly saluted.Although the emperor said that there is no need to be too polite outside, Lin Daiyu still saw the courtesy one by one on the grounds that etiquette cannot be broken.The emperor nodded incessantly when he saw it. Lin Ruhai's daughter is really extraordinary. She understands etiquette and general knowledge. It is said that she is also good at reading. She can manage a Lin family in an orderly manner at a young age. If she is born as a man, she must be a pillar in the future. talent!

I heard that Lin Fu's ingredients are all grown in his own farm, and the food made is much more delicious than ordinary ones, so I have to try it out today.Today, I planned to bring Rui'er to visit the Lin Mansion, to taste how delicious the food in the Lin Mansion is, and to attract the gluttonous third brother, and let Rui'er get acquainted with Lin Ruhai by the way.Unexpectedly, I ran into my third brother on the road, and when I heard that I was coming to the Lin residence, I insisted on following him, so I had to take him with me in the end.Rui'er is almost 12 years old, and she will be able to enter the court soon. With Lin Ruhai's help, she will soon be able to gain a foothold in the court.You must know that those older princes of his have been in the court for many years, and they also have their own influence in the court, although it is useless to suppress them repeatedly.Rui'er is the son of Empress Yuan, and a large group of people watch her every move, so Lin Ruhai has to teach her well.

"Come on, Yu'er, uncle, I want to ask you, have you researched any new dishes recently?" The third prince said with a starry face when he saw Lin Daiyu, his eyes were like a greedy cat seeing it The delicacies are so-so, making Lin Daiyu speechless for a while, Third Prince, don't you want to eat people like this every time you see me, okay, I'm not a delicacy!

"Uncle, didn't Yu'er send you a copy every time she researched a new dish, how can there be new ones now?" Lin Daiyu has become very familiar with the third prince in recent years, so she has no scruples about speaking.

"That's right," the third prince's head drooped visibly, as if a balloon full of air had been punctured suddenly, and instantly deflated. Alas, I thought there was nothing new to eat?

"Third son, can you be a little promising, and you still have the face to eat with a little girl, don't you feel a little bit like an elder?" The emperor was speechless for a while, why did the royal family have such a foodie, and turned back to Lin Daiyu Said: "Yu'er, leave him alone!"

"Hehe, Yu'er knows." Lin Daiyu smiled. I didn't expect the emperor to be easy to get along with. Although the emperor has always been kind to him, he used to have a kind of majesty in the palace. Today it looks like An ordinary elder is so casual.

"Brother Huang, you can't do this. Eating and drinking are human instincts. You can't deprive me of the right to live!" The third prince immediately barked his teeth and claws, almost hugging the emperor's thigh and acting like a spoiled child.

"Third brother, can you restrain yourself a little in front of the juniors? Seeing how disrespectful you are, you are not afraid of spoiling the children!"

After hearing the emperor's words, the third prince glanced at Lin Daiyu secretly, and shut his mouth resentfully. The so-called one who knows current affairs is a hero. If he can teach Yu'er badly, let alone the emperor, even Lin Ruhai will not let him go.

Seeing the aggrieved expression on the third prince's face, and muttering something from time to time, Lin Daiyu couldn't help feeling amused, and said, "Don't worry, uncle, although there are no new dishes, but today's dish was carefully prepared by Yu'er instructing the kitchen, I guarantee you Happy to eat."

The third prince's eyes widened suddenly, and his face was filled with joy. He had forgotten that even if the food in Lin's residence was ordinary, it had a special taste, so this trip was not in vain.I don't know what's going on, the vegetables in my mansion are also brought from the Lin family's farm, why do they taste different? Although they are much better than ordinary vegetables, the taste is still the same as that of other vegetables. Lin Fu's food was much worse.Could it be because of the cook, then if I ask Lin Ruhai for a cook, is there any hope? I heard that all the cooks in Lin's mansion are brought from Yangzhou, why don't I ask someone to go to Yangzhou to find a cook?

"Third uncle, dinner is ready." When the third prince was lost in thought, Shui Rui reminded him next to him. The third prince collected his thoughts and saw that Lin Ruhai had already taken the emperor and the others to the nearby restaurant. , At this moment, I was the only one left in the room, so I quickly followed.

The servants left after setting up the meal. Lin Daiyu introduced today's dishes to everyone: "This is crystal cake, this is sweet and sour pork, that is braised winter melon balls, and tofu crucian carp soup..."

"How is this fish made? Why does it look different from the usual one?" The emperor pointed to a plate of fish cubes and asked.

"Oh, that's sweet and sour fish. It's flavored with sugar and vinegar. It tastes sweet and sour. I don't know if the emperor likes it. Why don't you try this braised fish?" Lin Daiyu pointed to the braised fish and said, the man except three My lord, no one likes sweet and sour fish like sweet and sour fish, right?

"It's made with sugar and vinegar. I've never heard of this method." He said, put a chopstick in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and said, "It's not bad, it's quite special." Then he switched to braised fish, Suddenly, I felt that braised food was still to my liking, so I couldn’t help picking up a few more chopsticks. The food in Lin’s house is really not good. It really deserves its reputation. It’s full of color, fragrance, and taste. I grew up so old that I thought I had eaten all kinds of food in the world. , I didn't expect that there are people outside the world, there are people outside the sky, no wonder the third child is always here for food.

But at this moment, the third prince couldn't care less about talking, and was busy stuffing food into his mouth, probably because of the presence of the emperor, the third prince was much quieter today, so it turns out that someone really can control the third prince, Lin Daiyu thought.

Shui Rui took a piece of sweet and sour pork into his bowl, and before he even ate it, there was a burst of meaty aroma, but he could smell the aroma when he just served it, and now he looked at it closely and it was as good as he usually eats The dishes are different, juicy and tender, take a bite, um, sour and delicious, much more delicious than the cooks in the palace, and I tried other dishes, all of which are delicious in color, fragrance and mouth watering De wished he could swallow it with his tongue, if only he could eat it often.

The guests and the host had a good meal, and everyone sat on the chairs to digest the food with a look of satiety.Lin Daiyu asked someone to deliver fruit after the meal. After eating the fruit, Lin Ruhai went to the living room to discuss matters with the emperor and the third prince, and Lin Daiyu withdrew.But as soon as he walked out of the living room, he saw that the Eighth Prince had also come out. What was he doing out? Is there something that he was not comfortable listening to?It shouldn't be, doesn't the emperor attach great importance to him, shouldn't he mind him listening in?Although she was puzzled in her heart, Lin Daiyu didn't reply, maybe the Eighth Prince just wanted to go around casually, so it's better not to speculate casually.But after walking dozens of steps, the eighth prince still followed leisurely. If Lin Daiyu didn't know that the eighth prince had something to say to her, then there was something wrong with her head.

The Eighth Prince was a foreigner after all, and it was inconvenient for Lin Daiyu to take him to the inner courtyard, so she took him to the study.After entering the study, Lin Daiyu asked, "What's the matter with the Eighth Prince?"

"It's okay, I just came to see sister Daiyu, I still have a few ancient books, do you want sister Daiyu?" the Eighth Prince said.

"What book?" Lin Daiyu asked, didn't the Eighth Prince send someone to send it directly before, why did he ever ask his own opinion, what happened today, the sun came out from the west?

"It's an ancient history book, it seems to be from the time of the Three Kingdoms, I didn't read it carefully." Shui Rui said.

"Since it was a gift from the Eighth Prince, Daiyu is disrespectful." Lin Daiyu said, she doesn't have many hobbies, but reading history books is definitely one of them. In her previous life, she liked history very much. After coming to ancient times, she read a lot According to historical data, she is often shocked by the heroic figures in history and trembled by the magnificent scenes of war.Perhaps she is a person who is restless in the ordinary and can't really go to the battlefield, so she can only rely on the history books, and she can learn a lot of wisdom from the history books.The eighth prince really grasped his weakness, knowing that he likes to read history books, but the eighth prince is not bad, anyway, he has already received so many things from him, so it doesn't matter if there is more!

"Then I'll let Xiao Muzi deliver it when I go back. By the way, sister Daiyu, can I ask you for something?" The eighth prince looked at Lin Daiyu expectantly and said, with a sincere look as if someone refused. It's like he's committed a heinous crime.

Lin Daiyu looked at the cautious face in front of her, she was speechless, what was it all about, did he ask for a gift in return when he gave him something, it was not the first day he knew the Eighth Prince, he was not like that People who are stingy, forget it, just treat it as a courtesy, thinking about Lin Daiyu and asked: "Whatever the Eighth Prince wants, as long as Daiyu has it, I will give it with both hands."

"It's nothing, I just want a jade pendant carved by my sister. I don't know if my sister is willing to part with it." The eighth prince said, Lord Lin and the third uncle both have a jade pendant carved by sister Daiyu, especially the third uncle is still old on his own. To show off in front of him, I must have one this time.

Lin Daiyu was not happy when she heard it. I have never seen you wear the unicorn I gave you before. This time I still want a jade pendant. What is her jade pendant? Chinese cabbage!At this moment, Lin Daiyu was only immersed in the anger that he ruined her own works, and she had forgotten that many of the materials for carving jade pendants were sent by the Eighth Prince?It's fine if I carve it casually later, but the ones for my father, the third prince and the eighth prince are all carved by myself, hum.I really don't appreciate the fruits of my labor.

"Didn't I already give you a unicorn?" Lin Daiyu said.

"I have always carried the unicorn from my sister Daiyu close to my body, because it is the first gift my sister gave me. I was afraid that it would break, so I never dared to wear it outside." He took out the unicorn from his inner coat and gave it to him. Lin Daiyu looked.

It turned out that she had misunderstood him, Lin Daiyu thought, seeing that he kept her present so well, Lin Daiyu couldn't help feeling ashamed, but she was still very happy, "Hurry up and put it away, I will carve a jade pendant for you, When Xiao Muzi delivers the book, let him take it away."

"Then thank you, sister Daiyu." Shui Rui exaggeratedly saluted.

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Don't do this in the future, I can't bear the gift of a prince like you."

"What can't you afford it? I'm just a thank you. Sister Daiyu, can you always call me the Eighth Prince? Didn't you call me Brother Rui when you were in Yangzhou?"

"You also said that it was in Yangzhou, but now it's in the capital, of course it's different." Lin Daiyu said

Shui Rui said "Oh", and then his face collapsed, Lin Daiyu couldn't bear it and said: "How about this, I will call you the Eighth Prince when there are people, and call you Brother Rui when there is no one. ?”

Shui Rui really smiled and said hello again and again.He sat in the study for a while, and left reluctantly until the emperor was notified that he was leaving.

After the emperor left, Lin Ruhai asked Lin Daiyu, "Yu'er, what do you think of the Eighth Prince?"

"It's pretty smart, but it looks a bit cold, but he's not bad, and he takes care of me, well, like a brother." Lin Daiyu thought for a while, and then nodded at the end, as if she was talking to herself I'm sure, on the whole, the Eighth Prince is pretty good, right?

Lin Ruhai frowned involuntarily. It turned out that the eighth prince had such a good impression on his daughter. This was a bit difficult. My daughter didn't have many friends, and she couldn't get in touch with the sisters in Jia's house too much. As an older brother, if he breaks up abruptly, will it cause any trauma to his daughter? After all, no matter how mature she is, her daughter is still a child under nine years old!Forget it, let's take one step at a time, my daughter has no love for the Eighth Prince, so let's just ignore them!If it really got to the point of irreversibility, it would be a big deal to take people away forcibly and live in seclusion with the ability of myself and my daughter, as long as my daughter is happy. (Lin Ruhai, you are evil...)

"Daddy, why are you asking these questions?"

"Oh, it's like this. The emperor wants to teach the eighth prince for his father for a period of time to help the eighth prince familiarize himself with court affairs. It is estimated that the eighth prince will be allowed to go to court in the next year. The emperor means that I will teach in private, so as not to prevent other princes Knowing the incidents of his life, it is inevitable that he will be brought to our mansion in the future, as a father, I just want to ask you what your impression of him is, if you don't like him, then Dad will not bring him to our mansion in the future."

"Daddy, you can arrange it anyway, my daughter is fine." Lin Daiyu said, it turns out that Daddy thought this way, and the Eighth Prince is really sad that he met such an unreliable master as Daddy, but why is he still so sweet in his heart? Yes, is it because you are the most important thing in Dad's heart?
