Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

I met a lot of people along the way, all of them went to see Jia Baoyu in the Yihong Courtyard. The Yihong Courtyard was already crowded with many people. Lin Wanru didn't go in after watching. She stood outside the courtyard and waited for a while before they dispersed. .

Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang helped Jiamu out, and seeing Lin Wanru standing outside, Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's under the sun, why don't you go in here?"

Lin Wanru said: "I heard that Brother Bao was beaten, so I came over to have a look, but I didn't expect that everyone was there, and I couldn't help, so I just waited."

Mrs. Wang said, "Baoyu has already fallen asleep. You have to come back tomorrow." As she said, she helped Jia Mu to leave. Jia Mu's eyes were red from crying, and she walked away tremblingly. Like a comforting look.

Lin Wanru didn't care about Mrs. Wang's hostility, but she didn't like it. If Daiyu married Baoyu, Mrs. Wang would be her serious mother-in-law. If Mrs. Wang made things difficult, Mother Jia couldn't protect her. The one who was bullied has no bones left?

Lin Wanru returned to the Aujingxi Pavilion, but Lin Daiyu entered the Yihong Courtyard through the back door. Jia Baoyu was lying on the bed and fell asleep, and there was no one in the room. Lin Daiyu sat beside the pale Jia Baoyu and couldn't help I stopped crying.

She was already old enough to talk about marriage. Although she was shy, she knew her grandmother's plan was to make her marry Baoyu.

Baoyu, very good, she also likes her very much, she also knows that Baoyu likes her, if two people are together, it will be good, but the Jia family is too complicated, which makes her feel a little uncertain, although Xue Baochai is missing, But Mrs. Wang still doesn't like her, and this is the biggest problem.

Now that Baoyu is being beaten, she cries. On the one hand, she feels sorry for Baoyu, but on the other hand, she also thinks of her own suffering, the loneliness of her sister after the death of her parents, the love of Jia's mother and the envy and hatred of everyone in Jia's family. Think of life events with uncertain future.

Jia Baoyu slowly opened his eyes, and saw Lin Daiyu crying like pear blossoms with rain, smiled weakly, wanted to get up, but was held down by Lin Daiyu, she said with tears in her eyes, "Be careful with the wound, does it still hurt?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head: "Sister, don't cry, I don't feel pain anymore, I deliberately shouted pain in front of people, to make the old lady feel bad, you cry like this, it makes me feel bad."

Seeing that he was already sweating before he finished speaking, Lin Daiyu knew that he was trying to hold on, so she hurriedly wiped it off with a handkerchief, and said, "Why do you do this? It's another blow to uncle to find out."

Jia Baoyu took Lin Daiyu's sweat-wiping hand and put it on his chest: "My sister doesn't understand half of what I'm thinking?"

Lin Daiyu stared at him in a daze, Jia Baoyu gritted his teeth and propped himself up, and carefully wiped away the tears from Lin Daiyu's face: "I know what my sister is worried about, I'm the one, don't worry, my sister."

Lin Daiyu hastily withdrew her hand, a little panicked: "What nonsense are you talking about, let people know what it looks like."

Jia Baoyu blushed and felt uncomfortable because of the pain, his face was as white as paper: "I only said this to my sister, and no one else knows. My sister is getting older, and I am not younger. It is no different than when I was young. I also understand in my heart that I should avoid me from time to time, but please believe my sister, such days are numbered, and when I recover, I will tell the old lady and ask her to make decisions for the two of us, do you think it is okay?"

Although the two of them were sometimes ambiguous and often tried to test each other with words, they had never spoken so clearly, so directly, so thoroughly like today, Lin Daiyu's face instantly turned red like a peach blossom, she turned around, panicked: "What nonsense are you talking about, I don't understand..."

Jia Baoyu held Lin Daiyu's hand firmly: "I'm not talking nonsense, and my sister understands it too. I know that my sister is often sad because I love to joke with my sisters, but I treat them differently from my sister. Do you understand me?"

With tears in her eyes, Lin Daiyu nodded lightly, and Jia Baoyu's eyes burst into ecstasy instantly, and her hands became tighter and tighter.

When Jia Baoyu was beaten, Jia's mother loved him in every possible way, and even Jia Zheng didn't dare to take care of her anymore. For the first few days, Jia Baoyu was still recuperating in bed, and when he was able to move around, he went out all day. The place with the most is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Ever since he and Lin Daiyu expressed their feelings for each other, the two have become more and more understanding. Lin Daiyu also abandoned the original aloofness and warmed up to Jia Baoyu. Damn, why don't you enjoy the cool in your yard? Run to my place, if you get sunstroke, tired people will worry about you."

Jia Baoyu laughed and said, "Who told you that you have good tea here? I wish I could come here every day."

Lin Daiyu looked at him reproachfully: "If you're thinking about tea, I'll ask Zijuan to deliver the tea jar, and you don't come here again."

Jia Baoyu chuckled, "When will my sister go over with me?"

Lin Daiyu's face turned red, and her brows stood upright: "What nonsense are you talking about, be careful and I will drive you out."

Zijuan watched from the side and said with a smile: "If the second master Bao doesn't come, the girl will talk about the second master. When the second master comes, the girl will say these things again."

As soon as Lin Wanru entered the room, she saw Lin Daiyu staring and angry, and said with a smile, "Who's making my sister angry again?"

Seeing her coming, Lin Daiyu calmed down and said, "Why are you here?"

Lin Wanru giggled, "My aunt made rock candy lotus seeds, and I brought them over to eat with my sister."

The large bowl of sweet white porcelain contains distinct grains of light green lotus seeds wrapped in transparent sugar water, which is very beautiful.

Jia Baoyu leaned over: "Do you have my share?"

Lin Daiyu gave him a sidelong glance: "If you want to eat something, ask someone to do it yourself."

Jia Baoyu touched his nose and stopped talking.

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "These lotus seeds are chilled, can brother Bao eat it? If you don't find it sweet and greasy, come and taste it. Auntie made it with the southern method."

Jia Baoyu tasted it, and it was really sweet, but because of the addition of ice, it didn't feel greasy at all. After eating a bowl in one go, he felt cool in his lungs, and most of the summer heat disappeared.

Lin Daiyu then asked Lin Wanru: "Didn't Grandma Shen ask someone to pick you up to escape the summer heat? Why didn't you go?"

Lin Wanru said: "Originally we said we would go, but the emperor decided to go to Huangzhuang to escape the summer heat at the last minute, and my cousin was also accompanying me. Auntie was busy preparing things for my cousin, so we talked about it in a few days."

Jia Baoyu said: "I also heard from the King of Beijing, and he followed. I heard that the scenery on Huangzhuang is better, but it's a pity that we didn't have the chance to see it."

Lin Daiyu said: "It's just some flowers and plants, rockery and small lakes, just more delicate, nothing unusual. According to me, it's fine to stay at home in this hot day, why bother to go out and run around." Lin Wanru He pursed his lips and smiled.

Chen Ruiwen came to Jia's house before leaving, and said he was seeing Jia Baoyu, but asked Jia Baoyu to give Lin Wanru two boxes of Xuejin pills: "The prescriptions used by the nobles in the palace, including one can relieve summer heat, my aunt originally said I took my cousin to escape the summer heat, but at the end of the day, I broke my promise, so I felt very sorry and asked me to send this over."

Jia Baoyu thanked him on his behalf.

It is said that it was given by Shen Shi, but in fact Chen Ruiwen got the Xuejin Pills himself. He is also a member of the imperial family, and Shi Guangzhu is also in the company. Now he is pestering Chen Ruiwen to ask for the dye recipe for the phoenix tail. Naturally, he is responsive .

Chen Ruiwen returned to Chen's house, before he entered, Shi Guangzhu came again and invited Chen Ruiwen to have a drink. Chen Ruiwen looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, that recipe is not mine. Even if you say it again, I can't make the decision." .”

Shi Guangzhu also tasted the sweetness, and privately dyed a few horses according to the prescription, and sold them to the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, making a fortune. Enter the bucket of gold.

Shi Guangzhu smiled and said: "I don't want your life, why are you so stingy, I know this prescription is not yours, but you must know the owner of this prescription, I'm not trying to kill people, business matters you I am willing, I just ask you to lead the thread, whether it succeeds or not is up to me."

Chen Ruiwen said: "To tell you the truth, this recipe is a boudoir work. I'm afraid I won't make a connection with you. Don't think that I don't know that you are secretly selling money. It's enough to make some money. Don't overdo it."

Shi Guangzhu was exposed, and asked embarrassingly, "How do you know?"

Chen Ruiwen sneered: "If you don't have money, where did you get the newly bought house in the east of the city?"

Although Shi Guangzhu didn't mention this matter any more, he didn't give up in his heart, and only pursued it secretly.

At the beginning of July, the emperor's Luanjia went to Huangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing to escape the summer heat, and the capital became much quieter because there were a lot of royal relatives accompanying him this time, and even the banquets in the capital were much less. , and no one wants to go out, the Jia family is also lonely for a long time, and the young sisters gather together to pass the time.

Unexpectedly, in mid-July, a major incident happened in Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing, which angered the emperor and he returned to Beijing early. Because of the distance and timely news blocking, the people in the capital didn't know why. What, it wasn't until the emperor returned to the palace that the news slowly came out.

It turned out that the prince deliberately provoked and beat the second prince until he couldn't get out of bed, so the emperor lost his temper.

The prince rode horses and archery since he was a child, and was proficient in martial arts, but the second prince was a weak scholar with no strength. Although he could ride horses and shoot arrows, most of them were for entertainment.
