Rebirth of the forest sister of the Red Chamber

After more than two months, it is the year.

Now that Lin Heng has been added to the Lin family, it is even more different from the past. Jia Min has a delicate mind, Lin Heng has the character of the Lin family, and his parents died early, so he does not blame others, so he loves him more. I don't really want to teach Lin Heng, but I always feel that my knowledge is shallow and difficult to teach. Who knows that after several twists and turns, Lin Heng became the only disciple and also a closed disciple.

Lin Ruhai offered the last year's gift, and after Lin Heng and Daiyu saluted Mr. Yang, they offered their own gift. Mr. Yang did not refuse, and presented his precious thing: a calligraphy by Ouyang Xun, a great master of the Tang Dynasty. , a Zhang Xuan's "Mrs. Mr. Yang caressed his beard for such a treasure and said with a big smile: "Give the word to Heng'er, and the painting to Yu'er. This is the wish of the old man, Ruhai doesn't have to be like this." Lin Ruhai saw that Mr. Yang insisted on this, I had to tell them to put it away, and thanked them again, and personally sent Mr. Yang to the gate, watched the carriage go away, and then went back with the children.

Before Lin Heng and Daiyu could take a breather, they were called into the room by Jia Min, and each was given six sets of fresh clothes, shoes and socks. Lin Heng also got two big woolen cloaks, some jade pendants and a new purse. Lin Ruhai looked at the purse It was Jia Min's needlework, and he said half-sourly: "My wife loves you too, so I made you a purse." Jia Min pulled Lin Heng over, looked carefully at his clothes, and then glanced at Lin Ruhai: "Don't listen to the master. , looking back, the old man will take you out to a banquet in the new year, and there must be a big lotus package as a reward, and you should keep the good things yourself!" Lin Heng nodded, and he was always a little embarrassed with so many things: "Mother gave too much, sister There's none?"

Daiyu pulled Lin Heng's clothes, tilted her head and smiled, "Brother, just take it. I'll get it later if I'm short!" Then she whispered in Lin Heng's ear: "If brother goes to the street, why don't you give it to me?" I bought something good!" Lin Heng patted Daiyu's head and agreed.

The whole family sat together and had dinner together, two days later it will be New Year's Eve, the whole house is full of joy, Lin Heng is busy going around: Lin Ruhai wants to write Spring Festival couplets, there are many courtyards, big and small, Lin Heng is assigned to some courtyards to write with Lin Ruhai After writing the Spring Festival couplets, Lin Heng wanted to help Jia Min with the annual accounts, and Daiyu relied on him, and asked Lin Heng to read a few travel notes by chance.

Back in the courtyard at night, Zhusheng, the maidservant in the courtyard, helped untie the cloak. After the hot tea was served, she heard someone talking outside. She opened the curtain and saw that it was Bailing with a food box in her hand. Lin Heng wanted to Standing up to say hello, Bai Ling quickly walked forward to put down the food box, and said with a smile: "Master is resting, the girl is afraid that the master will not eat well today, so she ordered the kitchen to make some food, if it suits my appetite, I will give it to you next time! "Open the food box one by one, inside is a bowl of stewed wild duck with wolfberry, a small and exquisite crystal shrimp dumpling, a plate of stir-fried pork with ginger, and a bowl of red rice.

"Troubleshooting." Lin Heng saw a few things he liked, thanked him quickly, and gave Bailing a few hundred dollars: "Save to buy some makeup and powder, tell my sister, I like it very much, you should leave early, and call after you use it." Just send it to the kitchen! You don’t need to make another trip.” Bai Ling thanked him and then withdrew.

Lin Heng used them all, leaving two shrimp dumplings for the bamboo fungus and the bamboo knot.

Both Zhusheng and Zhujie were born in the same family. Knowing that Lin Heng used snacks, he must eat loose food before going to bed. Zhusheng first packed up the food boxes, bowls and chopsticks and sent them to the kitchen. In the back room, he paced while studying.

As I said before, the style of the Lin family is different from that of other families. Whether it is the young master's room or the girl's room, the maids are rarely used as roommates or aunts. When they reach a certain age (ranging from 16 years old), they are released. The family is in charge of matching people. If they are purchased from outside, most of them should be put back home, except for a few who don’t want to go home and would rather comb themselves as a dowry for their mothers.

The bamboo fungus and the bamboo knots are naturally ambitious. Lin Heng has been here for two months and feels that this uncle has a good temper and is considerate to them. From being unfamiliar and polite at the beginning to now caring, they have no other way to repay them. , then do your best to serve Lin Heng well.

On New Year’s Eve, before dinner, Jia Min asked family members to go home for a reunion, and those who did not return home stayed in the mansion. The gates and doors were closed, and they specially let everyone eat New Year’s dinner in the Dahua Hall. , After the masters had finished eating, they dispersed to eat.

Lin Ruhai first led Jia Min, Lin Heng, and Daiyu to open the main house to worship their ancestors. After the worship, they were guarded by themselves, and they went back to the courtyard to change into new clothes. Lin Heng stroked the old purse made by his mother and put I put the Wan Shi Ru Yi buckle I used before, and I called Zhu Sheng to hang the purse on the bedpost, and replaced it with a new set of royal blue jacquard python satin brocade robes with silver inlays that Jia Min asked someone to make, with a palace sash tied around the waist. The jade card is similar to Daiyu's. It is Hetian jade. She stepped on a pair of deerskin boots. After dressing up, she took the bamboo fungus out and left the bamboo joints to watch the house. Grandpa Li and Grandma Li (formerly the old servants) were taking the New Year's dinner for the people in the courtyard. When they saw Lin Heng coming out, they looked at his spirit and rejoiced in their hearts: "Master, go quickly, don't delay the meal."

Lin Heng asked a few more questions, not to delay their time, knowing that Daiyu must have not gone yet, so he picked up his sister first.

Daiyu was already dressed and sat waiting for him. Lin Heng took Daiyu to the main room.

Everyone was ready. At the banquet, Lin Ruhai asked someone to warm up good wine. First, he offered a cup to the saint. Lin Ruhai and Lin Heng drank it all in one gulp. After picking up two pieces of meat and some fish for Daiyu, he sat down. The New Year's Eve meal did not follow the previous rules. Everyone ate vegetables and wine in a lively manner. Take it down, and bring scalding hot water.

"Go and eat, Heng'er took my sister to set off firecrackers and fireworks."

The stewards who had finished their meal all came out fully dressed, carrying firecrackers and fireworks. Lin Heng was just a kid, and others were just having fun. Even if he was calm by nature, he always liked facing firecrackers and firecrackers. As soon as Huizi heard what Jia Min said, he took Daiyu eager to try, followed by Shuhe and Shuji, and a large circle of servants and stewards surrounded him. Shuji first shared a handful of the fireworks sticks in his hand. To Thrush: "Try this for girls, you won't be afraid, it's fun!"

Thrush took out one alone and said to Daiyu, "Girl, watch me play." Lighted the firework stick with incense, and silver flowers shot out, and Thrush held a circle around it, and saw a silver halo, which was very beautiful, but It went out quickly too.

Lin Heng knew it at a glance, so he gave one to Daiyu, and taught: "Sister, look here, hold on to the bottom, don't grab this line, there is no gunpowder behind, it's safe!" Daiyu carefully Hold it and ask Thrush to light it. Seeing the dazzling sparks from the firework stick, Daiyu shook it, and the silver spark moved accordingly, and it was about to go out. Lin Heng took another one, and Daiyu Yuyu began to be courageous, drawing circles like a thrush, her eyes crooked with a smile, Daiyu started playing one by one, Lin Heng was determined to show in front of her sister, Shuhe and Shuji brought big fireworks to the open space After letting go, Lin Heng held the incense in his hand and looked for the wire with his eyes wide open. After finding the wire, he blew off the ash on the incense head, then squatted down and carefully moved towards the wire. Under the corridor, just standing up, I saw a bunch of sparks blooming from the middle upwards, and then two, three strands bloomed at the same time, yellow, purple, yellow and green, in different colors, more immersive than the Jia Mansion back then At that moment, she was in Jiamu's arms inside.Daiyu looked at the fiery trees and silver flowers in front of her, recalled the events of her previous life, looked up and saw her elder brother Lin Heng who was holding hands tightly, her mouth was tightly pursed, with a smile on her face and a trace of sadness, she couldn't help approaching her elder brother, Lin Heng felt Daiyu's movements Afraid that she would be cold, he hurriedly said: "My sister is cold? Let's go in and sit for a while, let the boys let it go." Daiyu shook her head, not wanting to spoil her brother's interest, but Lin Heng insisted on holding Daiyu's hand Go into the house with your hands, let Shu and Shuji play with everyone: "Be careful, be careful not to burn your clothes!"

Lin Ruhai was chatting and laughing with Jia Min, and when he saw the two of them coming in together, he simply asked them to sit around the table and talk about some interesting things together. At one o'clock, when he remembered, Jia Min asked someone to deliver some good night snacks. After a while, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min thought about Lin Heng's first New Year's Eve, and he might be emotional when he saw the scene, so he didn't let him keep vigil. Feng, let’s send them back first, Lin Heng was grateful, bid farewell to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, first sent Daiyu back to the room, and then he returned to the yard with the bamboo fungus, along the way, the red lanterns hung high, the lanterns in his hand It became superfluous, and the doors of the vigil could be seen to be lit in every yard. Lin Heng first visited the old Li's couple before returning to the room. The room was as warm as when he left, with silver charcoal burning. , there was a copper pot on it, and there was a faint orange fragrance in the room, Lin Heng and Zhu Sheng saw that there was a silk-wrapped red agate plate on the table, which contained yellow oranges, and flowers were being embroidered on the bamboo joints, listen The sound of footsteps saw the two people coming back, so I hurried to pour a basin of water first, and poured some hot water in the copper pot, after mixing it, I washed Lin Heng's face and washed his hands, settled Lin Heng, and the bamboo fungus and bamboo knots were ready. One inside and one outside rest.

Waking up early in the morning, after Lin Heng packed up, he went to bring Daiyu first, and then went to the main house to have breakfast with Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, talking and laughing with Daiyu all day long.
