Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Chen Ruiwen nodded with a smile, and sat next to Shen Shi. A girl came over to serve tea, and Shen Shi asked Chen Ruiwen: "Didn't you say you would come back at noon in the morning? Who are you drinking with?"

Chen Ruiwen didn't want his mother to worry, he just said that he went out with Shi Guangzhu, Shen didn't ask any more questions, just looked at the four girls and joked.

Chen Ruiwen didn't want to stay too long. In fact, when he was around, the three girls of the Chen family couldn't let go. Lin Wanru was too embarrassed to laugh any longer, so Shen asked Chen Ruiwen to greet Qi Guogong Chen Yi: "Your grandfather asked someone to ask you at noon. What about you?" Chen Ruiwen went to Chen Yi's study.

Chen Yi is scalding his feet. He is getting old, coupled with the pain left by his youth, sometimes his joints are aching, and he can't sleep well at night. He asked the imperial doctor to see that he can't use medicine, so he can only pay attention to maintenance on weekdays. Chen Yi developed the habit of scalding his feet with hot water before going to bed.

There was a servant sitting on the small bed next to him to massage the soles of Chen Yi's feet. When Chen Ruiwen came in, he got up and saluted. Chen Ruiwen told the servant to leave and sat down to help Chen Yi wash his feet.

Chen Yi squinted his eyes and enjoyed it for a while. The grandson's hands are strong and comfortable to press, and he can also press on the acupuncture points. This is not the first time for Chen Ruiwen. After wiping his feet, he called the boy to come in and tidy up.

Chen Yi moved from the chair to the recliner, sighed comfortably, and then asked, "What's bothering you again?"

Chen Ruiwen thought about it, but it wasn't really a worry, but he felt something was wrong, so he said the news he heard today: "...they all said that since the emperor chose to take the second prince to sacrifice to heaven, he just wanted to The crown prince has been changed, if it gets to the ears of the emperor, will it be suspected that the second prince is deliberately creating momentum?"

Chen Yi pondered for a while, and said: "The emperor knows best what kind of person the second prince is, and the emperor invited Deng Yuan to teach the second prince to study. That old guy Deng Yuan is blindly fake and lofty, and he enjoys compiling books all day long. Your majesty If you really intend to train the second prince, you can definitely ask the cabinet scholar to teach, why give it to an old Confucian scholar, I think you are all overthinking."

Chen Ruiwen said: "We all know the second prince's temperament, but the prince is very suspicious. He was already very afraid of the second prince, but now he may be regarded as a thorn in the flesh."

Chen Yi sighed, the prince is indeed not a broad-minded person, I'm afraid this time he will die of anger.

Chen Yidao: "In two days, you invite the Second Prince to your home, and I will have a talk with him."

Chen Ruiwen agreed, and waited for Chen Yi to rest before going back.

In the early morning of the second day, the three sisters of the Chen family were going to learn the rules. Lin Wanru had nothing to do and said to follow. Chen Ruixue hesitated: "Mr. is very strict."

Shen Shi also said: "They can't leave for half a day. If you are bored, I will ask your cousin to accompany you. Mr. Feng loves to lecture others with a straight face."

That's all for Lin Wanru, Chen Ruiwen came over after a while, the three of them had breakfast together, Shen asked Chen Ruiwen to take Lin Wanru to the garden to play, Chen Ruiwen couldn't wish for it, asked the boy to buy two kites, and said that he would take Lin Wanru with him Let's fly a kite together.

There is no girl around Chen Ruiwen to take care of her, and four servants take care of her meals and daily life. Among them, Lingxi and Quyue are mainly responsible for the family affairs, and Ye Yu and Hengjiang are responsible for the outside affairs.

The four of them took care of Chen Ruiwen on a daily basis, and they could understand his thoughts. Now, when they heard that Chen Ruiwen was going to stay at home with his cousin and fly a kite, they were a little surprised. You know, Chen Ruiwen was busy today, but he was pushed up.

The four of them looked at each other a little bit, but they couldn't enter the inner house, and they couldn't see what kind of supernatural power this cousin girl had.

Lin Wanru was not awkward, and happily followed Chen Ruiwen out with a kite. Seeing Lin Wanru's happy face, Chen Ruiwen was also happy, but he didn't know what to say, so he stayed silently by the side, seeing Lin Wanru Hand over what you want.

This is the first time Chen Ruiwen likes a girl.

In the past 18 years, he either studied in the study or practiced martial arts in the school grounds. His daily pastime was going out to drink with a few good brothers or visiting his aunt in the palace with the second prince. Although there are sisters in the family, they are gentle. He was a little afraid of his big brother.

The women he met while drinking outside were not decent girls, and he didn't bother to look at them. There were many beauties in the palace, but they had a rigid temperament, and he also found it boring.

Therefore, he has always kept women at a respectful distance. Even for his mother, Shen, he respected more than being close to him. When he met Lin Wanru that day, he discovered for the first time that not all women in the world are weak and rigid. Like this, I like it no matter how I look at it.

He also didn't know what was good about Lin Wanru, but he knew better in his heart that when he saw Lin Wanru, his heart skipped a beat. He was clearly in a fairyland-like courtyard, but he seemed to see another spring blossoming. .

Now that the person he was thinking about was right in front of him, Chen Ruiwen couldn't help but ask himself, what's so good about her.

But the more I thought about it, the more attractive I found her. For example, when she smiled, her eyes were shining, her eyebrows were curved, the corners of her mouth were curled up, and her dimples were so clear that she really wanted to be poked...

Lin Wanru turned around with a smile, and saw Chen Ruiwen staring at him blankly, a little strange, walked over and waved his hand in front of his eyes: "Cousin, what are you thinking?"

Chen Ruiwen came back to his senses, a little embarrassed, he was not good at expressing his temperament, and he couldn't help but blushed slightly at this moment, wanting to make Lin Wanru happy, but he didn't know what to say, what to do, feeling at a loss .

Seeing the sweat on Lin Wanru's forehead, he couldn't help wiping it gently with a handkerchief, and said in a gentle voice, "After playing for a while, does it hurt when your neck is upright?"

Lin Wanru smiled and shook her head: "I'm not tired, does my cousin feel bored?"

Chen Ruiwen shook his head, Lin Wanru saw him standing tall and tied up and was quite pitiful, so he pulled him over and stuffed the spool into his hand: "Cousin, you come to play too, don't let it drop come down."

Chen Ruiwen looked up and saw the swallow kites that were almost black dots in the sky, and when he tilted his head, he saw Lin Wanru's flowery smile and smiled slightly.

After playing all morning, Lin Wanru also noticed that Chen Ruiwen is a very careful and gentle person who is not very expressive. He will silently watch you play, and hand over a handkerchief or warm tea just in time. You are happy He doesn't say anything, at most he smiles at you, he also looks at you when you are upset, he doesn't say anything to comfort you, but he feels very at ease.

Lin Wanru thought of the lively Princess Chaohuang, no wonder the two would become husband and wife, one still and one moving, one cold and one hot, they were a perfect match.

The three sisters of the Chen family came over after school and saw the two of them flying kites, and they all cheered. For a while, the sky above the garden was filled with kites of all kinds. Lin Wanru felt tired after running all morning. They watched from the side, until Mrs. Shen repeatedly asked someone to invite someone to have lunch, and then they dispersed.

Chen Ruiwen and Lin Wanru went back to Shen's place, Shen was giving orders to the big girl Ganoderma lucidum, she stopped talking when she saw two people coming in, and said to Lin Wanru with a smile: "Did you enjoy playing all morning?"

Lin Wanru nodded: "It's the first time for me to fly a kite with my brother. It's very fun. When I fly a kite with my sister, my sister is always impatient and complains of being tired after two laps."

Shen Shi laughed, but Chen Ruiwen didn't smile, and sat down at the table to eat silently.

Shen Shi then asked him: "Is there anything to do this afternoon?"

Chen Ruiwen said: "Grandfather said that he hasn't seen the second and sixth princes for a long time, so he told me to invite you to come and sit at home. I will enter the palace this afternoon."

Shen said with a smile: "When is the appointment? I'll also prepare the banquet."

Chen Ruiwen said: "The day after tomorrow, I have to go to the military camp tomorrow, I don't have time."

Shen asked Lingzhi to write it down, and ordered the kitchen to prepare it in advance.

Unexpectedly, the second prince and the sixth prince came back after Chen Ruiwen on the second day. Chen was shocked, and Chen Ruiwen was a little helpless: "I ran into the sixth prince in the barracks. If he insists on coming today, I can't stop him. The second prince called together."

Shen Shi was half happy and half anxious: "The things for the banquet are not ready yet, what should I do now, I have to tell the shoppers to go out of the house to make purchases."

But was stopped by the second prince: "Auntie, don't be busy. The sudden arrival of the two of us is already a nuisance. If it makes my aunt tired, it shouldn't be. There are no outsiders around, just get two home-cooked dishes."

As soon as the second prince called aunt, Shen smiled and said: "Then it's up to you, I will cook two small dishes myself." After talking, Chen Ruiwen took the two of them to Chen Yi's study.
