Lin's Aunt in the Red Chamber

Lin Hai didn't let his younger sister go to the place where talented women gathered, but took her with him and walked straight all the way to the place where she met with Dean Bai.

Today we met by writing, and the women who can come in are all talented people. Although Lin Hai didn't want his sister to compose a poem, he made a poem himself and asked her to write it down for him.

Lin Lan wrote quite well. After a few strokes, no one doubted the reason why she was brought in. After writing a poem, everyone applauded. Well done.

Dean Bai looked at the handwriting, and then thought about his grandson's handwriting, and felt that it was a bit incomparable.

After the show, Lin Lan stood behind his brother all the time, relying on the cone hat to cover his face, and looked at the boys and girls present. There were many handsome guys, and most of the girls were like himself. With a graceful and graceful appearance, all the students present worked hard to express themselves in front of the beauties.

Young teenagers and girls, even if they are not particularly outstanding in appearance, just have this kind of vigorous temperament, Lin Lan thinks they are very suitable for newcomers.

"The third row, the fourth place..." Lin Hai suddenly whispered while drinking tea.

As soon as Lin Lan's eyes lit up, he knew what his brother meant, so he went straight to the third row and the fourth...

"The prince is here!" Lin Lan's gaze just caught sight of the man with his head bowed. He is more than five feet taller. According to his age, he can grow a few more years. He should be a slender man. He can't see his face for a while , but the board is upright and the manner is beautiful!Just as he was expecting the young man to raise his head to let him see how he looked, someone suddenly reported...

Prince?Tu Yexi?What is he here for?Lin Lan was a little puzzled at first, but when he heard the people around him say that soldiers surrounded Zhen's house early this morning, he suddenly realized that the Zhen's house was going to be raided?

The Zhen family was copied?Will the Jia family be copied?Shouldn't it?After all, Jia She is the emperor's favored minister. As long as there are no major troubles in this life, the Rongguo Mansion should always be wealthy, and so should Jia Baoyu!

When the crown prince arrived, everyone stopped what they were doing. Lin Hai could only step forward and lead everyone to kneel to meet him. Lin Lan had various thoughts in his mind, but his eyes still quickly glanced at the face of Mr. Bai who stopped writing and raised his head... …

Brother, don't lie to me!With just one glance, Lin Lan felt as if a flower was blooming in his heart. This young man is really good-looking, with delicate features and clear eyes... If he were to marry such a handsome boy and live in this academy, he would be able to Seeing such young and lively students, Lin Lan felt that he could do it, absolutely!

Go back and inquire, if the younger brother doesn't have any beloved maids and cousins, he can marry according to the family rules that only children can be concubines at 35 years old!Look no further!It's him, it's him, it's him!When Lin Lan thought that he would have a young fresh meat in the academy to admire for a lifetime in the future, he felt his heart pounding with excitement!

Surrounded Zhen's mansion, calculated the personnel according to the roster, and suppressed all of them. While calculating the assets, Tu Yexi looked at the magnificent Zhen's house, and felt very worried, so he ordered his confidants to interrogate him, and came out for a walk by himself. Hearing that there is a literary meeting in Bailu Academy today, I came to see these future courtiers.

Seeing Lin Ruhai and the figure behind him who kept turning his head, Tu Yexi became even more irritable, but he still calmly asked everyone to get up and continue the previous competition.

The prince is here?Whether it was the students competing below or the talented women who participated in the literary fair, they couldn't help but feel excited. In particular, there were a few bold talented women who looked up and saw the real face of the prince, and immediately panicked.The prince is so handsome, far better than all the students present, how can it not be exciting?

Lin Landao didn't pay much attention to the prince. This man is good-looking. She knew from a young age that this is not only good. He is the most beautiful person in the world. Even if he is not the prince, he is the one who attracts the most attention in the crowd, but... Since he was the crown prince, Lin Lan had no intention of getting involved with him, fearing that if he looked at his face, he would lose sight of other people's looks and would not be able to survive.

So I have been paying attention to that young man surnamed Bai. After all, this is my future husband, so I have to take a good look at it. After all, I can't regret it when I get married!

After finding a reason for himself, Lin Lan looked upright.

When the crown prince came here, many of the students below were flustered. Most of them were born as scholars, and they all hoped that Haosheng would show his talents to the fullest, so that the crown prince would have a good impression of himself, so that he could be proud of the imperial examination in the future.

Although Tu Yexi looked at the people below, she kept paying attention to Lin Lan from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that she was always staring at the people below through the tulle, she felt even more depressed. If she read correctly, she was actually Haven't even looked at yourself?Is he so disgusting and unsightly to her?If I remember correctly, she used to like her appearance very much?

Before, it was just for everyone to show their strengths to their heart's content, and set a common topic, with a time limit of two quarters of an hour, composing poems, prose, painting, calligraphy...

There are gentlemen from the academy nearby who select outstanding works, and then hand them over to Lin Hai and other officials to determine the ranking with Dean Bai. Now that Tu Yexi is here, it is naturally up to him to decide.

Tu Yexi did not refuse. After choosing the poems and paintings, he pointed to Lin Hai's previous poems and said, "Others are fine. In terms of calligraphy, there are many talents in Bailu Academy, and all of them are good at writing, but just looking at this The calligraphy is really good. Of course, the poems are also well done!"

"What your Highness said is that this book was written by the daughter of the Lin family, and I think it's very rare just now." Dean Bai had a tacit understanding with Lin Hai, and when Lin Lan was writing, he paid special attention to it and was even more surprised.This daughter of the Lin family is said to have both talent and appearance, and she is said to be beautiful in appearance and has a very good temperament. I think she is very suitable for my grandson.

When Tu Yexi heard this, the smile on his face faded, and he saw Lin Hai holding the poem with the highest evaluation, full of smiles, and his sister stretched out her head to look at it, seeming very satisfied, thinking of What else is there that I don't understand about Bai Xizhi's name?This young man should be the husband-in-law he chose for his sister?Surname Bai?It should be the talented grandson of Dean Bai?

The young man's handwriting is good, and his poems are also good. Lin Lan saw that he also drew words that fit the occasion. Although the painter is not outstanding, but at his age, he is also very good, and the smile on his face is endless.

"Today's literature meeting, since I'm lucky enough to meet you, can I ask you a question?" Originally, the next step was to come up to receive the reward for a good job, but Tu Yexi didn't want that person to be happy, and didn't want to see them standing together. sidewalk.

The prince was going to ask a question, even the students who did not participate in the literary meeting were a little excited. They took their pens and ink and prepared to answer it. Maybe the prince would like it!

Tu Yexi saw that Lin Lan obviously couldn't go on stage because of that person, so he took a step back, somehow, he felt a little better, and said, "The lonely topic is——Floating Fee Miguang!"

What the prince said was obviously a policy topic. After hearing the topic, everyone began to think hard.

Lin Lan saw that after the prince posed the question, the girls all moved out, replaced by many students who took their previous seats, and sighed slightly in her heart.But there is nothing else to do. At present, talented women can write poems and songs, play the piano and draw pictures, but very few women can study strategies... Even if they can stay on the field, most of these young ladies can't write.Patriarchal society, that's how fucked up it is!Girls are disqualified from studying in the first place!

After Tu Yexi finished speaking, he watched Lin Lan sitting bored on the embroidered pier behind Lin Hai, and said: "Today's literary society, in previous years, there is no distinction between men and women. First of all, I would like to thank all the beauties for supporting the paintings, what do you think?"

What is this man doing here?Lin Lan didn't understand... When he was also placed in front of him with a pair of pens, ink, paper inkstones and paints, Lin Lan didn't understand even more, but he couldn't get off the tiger, and glanced at the poems he wrote. The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, so I picked up a brush and prepared to draw a large-scale meticulous painting, just to pass the time.

Meticulous painting takes a lot of work. When painting, the cone hat is quite an eyesore, so Lin Lan took off the hat, put on a veil, and concentrated on painting.

Dean Bai glanced at Lin Lan's exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and felt more and more satisfied in his heart. He could see clearly just now that this woman didn't pay any attention to the prince, and she obviously didn't admire the powerful. Such a good child, in his opinion It is more compatible with grandchildren.

Lin Lan paints to pass the time, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and more importantly, the softness, the sky and the water are of the same color... It is not difficult to draw, so even the fish jumping in the water, the birds in the sky, and the flowers blooming on the branches are all drawn. quite detailed.I don’t pursue nouns, just draw slowly according to my own mind, thinking that I am quite satisfied with the painting of this flower, go back and cut it out, and let the embroiderer embroider a small purse for Daiyu, she must like it of.

If you draw a pattern for Daiyu, let's draw a mighty carving for Cheng'er!Hmm... Draw a pine and cypress for my brother, and a picture for my mother... Lin Lan became more and more interested in painting...

Lin Hai originally said this to Dean Bai with a smile, but when he turned his head and saw his sister's painting, he was stunned... What is this?

It can't be said that it's bad, after all, everything is drawn extremely delicately, and the painter looks good at first glance, but when put together, it doesn't fit the question at all, and even looks messy.

"Lan'er, what are you doing?" Lin Hai asked in a low voice.

Lin Lan said while drawing, "I'll draw some pouches for you guys. Brother, you use this pines and cypresses to show your temperament, how about it?"

Hearing this, Lin Hai noticed the clump of pines and cypresses by the river, the painting was lush and lush, which was very much to his liking, but... ok!My sister is not here to compete, so let her!Thinking of this, Lin Hai began to look forward to his purse.

"It's not bad for me to look at this sculpture as a fan." Lin Hai looked at the fierce-looking big sculpture in her painting, only felt that the momentum was compelling, and couldn't help but suggested.

"No, this belongs to Cheng'er! Brother, you only have pines and cypresses!" Lin Lan refused directly.

Tu Yexi sat not far from Lin Hai. Although he was talking with people, he didn't hear a word of the conversation between Lin Hai's brothers and sisters. When you learn how to embroider for yourself...

The crown prince only gave one hour, so when it was noon, the time was up. When it was time to collect the papers, Lin Huan asked people to collect his sister's paintings immediately.

"Master Lin, won't we appreciate it?" A master of White Deer Academy saw that he had no intention of helping the girl of the Lin family to hand in the paper, so he asked directly.

Lin Hai arched his hands and said in shame: "My sister has only learned painting for a long time, and she usually only draws flowers, it's hard to be elegant, so I won't show my shame!"

"Master Lin is too modest, so let's submit it together!" Tu Yexi said casually.

Lin Lan glanced at Tu Yexi in surprise when she heard the words, she didn't understand what he wanted to do?But this one glance... made Lin Lan's pupils shrunk. This person hadn't seen him for a few years, and he lost his youthful innocence, and became even more beautiful!

Compared with him, Mr. Bai, who was pretty good-looking at first, can no longer be seen. Lin Lan turned his head decisively, thinking: There is no harm if there is no comparison!Why do you want to see him?

Immediately, I felt a little depressed, and the fiery emotions suddenly cooled down. I sighed and thought to go back and look in the mirror to wash my eyes!After all, I look good too...

At Lin Lan's current age, looking at her paintings of flowers, birds, fish and insects, she is full of aura. Although the paintings are a bit messy, it is very rare to be able to draw flowers so realistically at such a young age. Dean Bai glanced at the paintings and was satisfied. The speed has increased again, the grandson is already good at painting, but the shape is not good, this girl is just the opposite, very complementary.Looking at Lin Lan's drooping head, he said very kindly: "Although the artistic conception of this painting is not good, but the artistry is excellent, Ruhai, you are too modest..."

Lin Hai nodded slightly, and said: "If there is a chance, I will give you some guidance, President Lao Bai..."

"Strategy Theory No. 1 came out?" Dean Bai was about to say it was an honor when Tu Yexi asked suddenly.

Policy theory No.1 is a young man in his 20s. Bai Xizhi is in the top [-]. According to his age, this level, Lin Hai thinks it is not bad, but Dean Bai has read Lin Lan's writing, and then read it again. As for the grandson's handwriting, I felt that I should urge him to practice hard when I go back, so that my handwriting cannot be as good as my daughter's.Although most of them are not as good as him on the court, Miss Lin's family is the daughter-in-law he favors for his grandson. She is not as good-looking as a daughter-in-law.

Tu Yexi read Bai Xizhi's paper, and frowned slightly. With this level, Lin Hai was actually satisfied?Still want to recruit a brother-in-law?What on earth is he thinking?

Average appearance, mediocre talent, and undistinguished family background... Li Chengrui has been busy all day, the Zhen family has too many valuables, and he has a big head in liquidating. The support behind the family, the emperor deliberately asked Zhen Yingjia to stop the investigation, and after a period of indulgence, he let the prince search the Zhen family. It was also an opportunity to enrich the prince's private treasury. On my brother-in-law?

Average looking?Even if he is not as evil as the prince, he is much better than himself, much better than most people.Average talent... the best among your peers, okay?The family background is not obvious... Why is it not obvious that the scholarly family has been born for generations?Li Chengrui looked at the respected crown prince, and had reason to suspect that he was connoting himself...

Looking at the things copied from Zhen's family in the brochure, Li Chengrui's heart was about to drool with envy. He is also an official, why is his family so poor?Good guy, there are dozens of stunning beauties in Zhen's family and Jiaofang... It's not unusual to have so many good things, but I'm only worried about my brother choosing my brother-in-law. What does this mean?

Li Chengrui was thinking about the adopted daughter of the Zhen family who almost made her legs go limp when she said "Officer", and suddenly stopped, a magical thought flashed in her mind, so she raised her head and looked at Tu Yexi seriously, and said: " Your Highness, whose son do you think is worthy of Miss Lin?"

Tu Yexi frowned and said: "She is still young, where is the time to talk about marriage?"

"But don't daughters' families all go on blind dates at this age, and they don't get married until they are old?" Li Chengrui felt the same more and more, so he asked again.

Hearing this, Tu Yexi's face became even more ugly. How could he talk about marriage at such an age?The little girl of the Lin family probably didn't even know the other party's temperament, she just thought she was good-looking, so she followed the family arrangement!

"It's not that everyone is not in a hurry at His Highness's age... If Haoerlang doesn't catch it early, the chances for my daughter's family to choose in the future will be much smaller..." Li Chengrui continued, could it be that the prince... has become enlightened?When I was 15 years old, the family arranged for a housekeeper girl, just because he was afraid that he would go to an unclean place due to curiosity and hurt himself.And the prince is still a boy because of his health...

When Tu Yexi heard this, she became even more irritable. With that girl's character, she shouldn't be in a hurry no matter what!But he also knew it was hard to say it.

"Your Highness has also reached the age of choosing a concubine, what do you think... how about the girl from the Lin family?" Li Chengrui still didn't understand something at this time, so he said bluntly.

Tu Yexi blushed when she heard the words, and shouted in a low voice, "You...you...what are you talking about? She's still a child!"

"A child who is already going to talk about kissing?" Li Chengrui said straightforwardly: "His Royal Highness has never paid attention to any woman before, but he is thinking about the affection he had when he was a child, and the previous intersection in Rongguo Mansion. He should be looking forward to Miss Lin getting married A good son-in-law, a prosperous life. The boy of the Bai family, not to mention other things, must be the best among his peers, and the Bai family has a family rule of 35 to have no children. This is what women all over the world look forward to Things. But you look down on the prince in every possible way, do you think that no one in this world is worthy of Miss Lin?"

Tu Yexi didn't say anything, he obviously really felt that no one in the world was worthy of that eccentric little girl, but when Li Chengrui said it so bluntly, he... his heart was disturbed.He knew that the boy from the Bai family's conditions were not bad, but... But the little girl from the Lin family is so playful and greedy... The Bai family's reputation is very important, and the girl will not be happy marrying into the Bai family...

"Before the emperor and the emperor mentioned that they wanted to choose a concubine for you, but you refused. Why don't your highness think about it carefully? If the object of this concubine selection is a girl from the Lin family, would your highness ever have the heart to refuse?" Li Chengrui laughed in his heart. Even if he could see the prince flustered, even if he told Jia Hu, he would never have expected it.

"She won't be willing!" After Tu Yexi said this, he suddenly fell silent. He immediately felt that the little girl of the Lin family was unwilling, did he also have animal thoughts in his heart?But why do I feel so uncomfortable?

The author has something to say: Xiao Lan'er: The little brother of the Bai family is upright, and more importantly, if you marry him, you will be able to appreciate the beautiful little brother in the entire academy. I can, I really can!

Tu Yexi: That little girl is so gluttonous and loves to play... she must not be used to being restrained, the Bai family... is poor and can't afford it!

Xiao Lan'er: With a generous dowry, marrying a beautiful little brother, I feel that my life has reached the pinnacle!

Tu Yexi: She is coquettish and vindictive, and her heart is still small... she will be bullied...
