Lin Jue of the Red Chamber

Lin Jue lay lazily on the Babu bed, putting one leg on Guanqi's leg. Guanqi looked at the blisters on Lin Jue's feet and couldn't help but feel distressed. He is the son of a second-rank official, no matter how the Guozijian sacrifices wine, he can't refuse to see him again and again, and he keeps running away from him, besides, the master's Jieyuan is still I got it by myself."

Lin Jue didn't say a word, just kicked Guanqi lightly, but said in his heart: This Guozijian sacrificial wine is from the third grade, and now it is the principal of the Central Party School, can you not be proud?Being played around in the Imperial College, Lin Jue wanted to scold his mother no matter how well-mannered he was, and besides, his temper was not very good in the first place!

Seeing Lin Jue's tired expression, Guanqi shut his mouth sullenly.Carefully applied the good medicine to Lin Jue, covered the quilt again, and then quietly retreated to the nearby room where the night watchman was.

Lin Jue pondered for a while, then sighed softly. Unexpectedly, the big movement involved the injury on her foot. She took a "hissy" breath and couldn't help but smile bitterly: I went to the Imperial College after finishing my housework, but it turned out that it was too late In less than ten days, someone gave me eye drops, and it has been three days. Every time I go to the Imperial College to visit and sacrifice wine, I will listen to birdsong on the mountain, and listen to books in the teahouse. I was playing by myself, and I was used to not exercising much, and blisters appeared on my feet after going back and forth.

After thinking about it, Lin Jue still couldn't swallow the breath, and shouted: "Watch the chess, come in."

Guanqi heard the sound and stepped forward, looking at Lin Jue inquiringly.Lin Jue sat up and tapped the carving on the head of the bed with his knuckles: "You ask a few people from the Fengxuan Sect to follow the wine offering, and don't miss out on his family members. Write down who goes out, what they do, and who they see. If Mr. Jijiu is going out, send someone to tell you." When he said Mr. Jijiu, Lin Jue emphasized his tone viciously.

Guanqi heard that Lin Jue was no longer a mermaid and was about to fight back, his eyes were so happy that he narrowed his eyes, and he responded cheerfully.

That day, Lin Jue and Daiyu had breakfast together, and then snuggled up on the couch. Daiyu greeted Mother Jia and came back. Seeing that Lin Jue was still there, she was a little surprised: "Brother, won't you go out today?"

Lin Jue looked at Daiyu, who rose and fell more brilliantly than every day, and felt relieved and sad at the same time: I don't know which boy will such an outstanding sister be cheaper?

"Brother took you out to play today, how about it?" Lin Jue looked at Daiyu with a smile. She has been in the capital for more than ten days, and Daiyu has never even been out of the house, so she must be bored.

Daiyu couldn't help smiling when she heard this, but when she heard Nanny Sheng coughing, she showed a look of hesitation: "I still don't want to go out!? I heard Sister Yingchun said that women are not out."

Lin Jue glanced at Nanny Sheng expressionlessly: "Where did you say that? We don't go to any dirty places, just sit in the teahouse, and I'm here." As he spoke, he asked Nanny Sheng Said: "Nurse Sheng, please tell me?"

"What the uncle said is that the girl should go out and have fun." Nanny Sheng said unwillingly.

Lin Jue snorted coldly, and signaled Guanqi to pass the bag in his hand to Nanny Sheng: "Please wait for your girl to change into this dress, I'll wait here." The bag was found by Lin Jue for Daiyu Men's clothing, men's shoes.

Daiyu looked at Lin Jue, then at Nanny Sheng, as if she noticed something, she responded and went back to the bedroom.

When Daiyu came out after changing her clothes, everyone in the room was stunned. Lin Jue had prepared clothes for a six or seven-year-old boy, a blue jacket embroidered with bamboo, and her hair was only wrapped in two round buns. bag, and a black jade pendant on her waist, she looks like a lucky doll.It's just that the look is a little cramped.

Lin Jue couldn't help laughing: "Come here and show me, how about we brothers standing together?"

When the people in the room woke up, they couldn't stop praising him.

"The two young masters are both dragons and phoenixes among men."

"The two young masters are graceful."

……

Lin Jue remained silent until Qingwei said: "The two young masters are standing together, they are real brothers, they have exactly the same eyebrows and eyes."

"Reward, everyone in the courtyard rewards a month's worth of money." Lin Jue picked up Daiyu, and said with great wealth.

Seeing that Lin Jue was about to go out with Daiyu in his arms, Nanny Sheng hurried to follow.Guanqi hurriedly stopped him: "Ye Ye is watching, the girl is safe. Nanny should sit at home and don't let the news in this yard fly out."

On the carriage, Lin Jue took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "Don't rub the corners of your clothes, or they will be ruined."

Daiyu glanced sideways: "Who told you to wear this kind of clothes for me, I'm so used to it."

Lin Jue stroked Daiyu's bun: "It's so cute and comfortable."

Daiyu thought about it, and she was also happy, and lay down in Lin Jue's arms: "Good brother, thank you for bringing me out."

"We walked through the door of our own yard. No one knows that it is convenient not to tell. If you want to come out to play in the future, just tell me. I will bring you here, but you are not allowed to come out by yourself." Lin Jue was afraid that Daiyu would be too courageous, so he directly go out by yourself.

Daiyu nodded: "I know, if my brother hadn't brought me today, Nanny Sheng wouldn't have let me out."

Lin Jue thought for a while, and said, "Bring up your nanny, Mrs. Wang, now, she can't control your house now, just clean it, so it's not good to keep her idle. From now on, the affairs of your house will be left to the public." She takes care of it with Nanny Sheng."

Daiyu probably knew the reason, and couldn't help but speak for Nanny Sheng: "Brother, Nanny Sheng is very kind to me, don't be like this, okay?"

"Of course my brother knows that she treats you well, otherwise he would have taken her down a long time ago, and would have let her be with you? It's just that she is talking about being a slave, while controlling the maids in your house, and taking care of you from the beginning. This is her fault." Looking at Daiyu's pitiful eyes, Lin Jue explained, and finally added: "She can take care of your business, but when you decide something , what she has to do is to help you check for gaps and make up for omissions, and do this well, instead of talking nonsense on the sidelines."

Daiyu was a little confused: "Then what should I do?"

"It's very simple, just find someone to divide her power. Wang Momo is your nanny. Before her, Wang Momo was always in charge of your house, just because Sheng Momo knew better than her. At that time, her son happened to have an accident, so she let it go. This is good for them, otherwise, in two years, Nanny Sheng will get angry, and I will kill her directly." Lin Jue smiled , but what he said was cruel.

Daiyu nodded, as if thinking of something: "When Nanny Wang was here, those maids were fine. When Nanny Sheng came, I couldn't control them. I listened to Nanny Sheng for everything."

Lin Jue's eyes darkened: "I have already sent someone to check on Madam Sheng's natal nephew. I heard that he has been having a bad time recently. When he finds it, I will sign his deed of sale under your name. It is also a period of time. Ender."

Daiyu now understood what it meant: "Is this the so-called giving both grace and power?"

Lin Jue laughed loudly: "Good Yu'er, you are really smart."

The carriage stopped, Lin Jue jumped out of the car, and carried Daiyu down again: "This is the teahouse, there are storytellers inside, it's fun."

Daiyu nodded repeatedly, and went in without waiting for Lin Jue.

Lin Jue pulled her back with a funny face, and said in a low voice: "Wait for Chengjiu to tie up the carriage before entering. Be careful here, there are more people with sharp eyes. I'll call you my younger brother here, try to talk as little as possible, Do you know?" Lin Jue usually only takes Guanqi and Chengjiu with him when he goes out, and at most two guards.Because today I took Daiyu out, and I also brought Li Xun and Lin Xiang, the son of the second housekeeper Lin Cheng.

Daiyu was beaming and nodded repeatedly.

After entering the teahouse, a waiter greeted him: "Are these two gentlemen going to a private room, or are they in the hall?"

Lin Xiang just took a step forward, blocked the waiter's eyes, threw out a piece of broken silver, and said, "Find a quiet private room, serve a pot of good tea, and just have some refreshments."

The guy caught the broken silver and put it in his sleeve without looking at it: "This way please, the little one will show you the way."

Today, the teahouse tells the story of Emperor Kanghui recovering the treacherous official Aoba when he was just in power. Ao Ba was so frightened that he ran away in a hurry. As a result, he accidentally touched a pillar. The pillars in the palace are all made of gold, so strong. I got a big bag, and I just cried out in pain..."

Hearing this, there was a wave of applause from below.

Daiyu couldn't help laughing softly when she heard this.Feeling helpless, Lin Jue poured a cup of tea, tasted it first, and poured a cup for Daiyu after feeling good, "Hurry up and drink some water, it's not as good as the one at home, but you can barely drink it."

Daiyu drank her saliva, but still smiled: "This story is really interesting. I read that it was not written like this in the history books. At that time, the Holy One was only in his teens and hadn't gotten married yet, but Aoba had been in charge of the government for more than ten years. How could it be so useless?"

Lin Jue laughed and said, "You know it's not true, so why bother?" Looking at the two of them in the room, Lin Jue lowered his voice: "Who wrote the history books? It was written by the victor. Who won? It is just. If the Holy One was forced to step down by Aoba at that time, then today is the story of Aoba's victory over the faint king."

Daiyu seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand, she opened her mouth to retort: ​​"How could this happen? This is—"

Lin Jue softly "hushed": "My good sister, time is still long, just take your time."

Daiyu shut up sullenly, picked up a nut, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Lin Jue passed the tea: "Don't be unhappy, listen quickly, what this person said is still very good."

Daiyu glared at Lin Jue, feeling amused herself, took the tea and listened carefully.

Not long after, it was a quarter past noon ([-]:[-]). Lin Jue took out a handkerchief and wiped Daiyu's hands: "Why, is it still addictive? If you like it, I'll buy him , Let him tell you stories every day."

Daiyu shook her head regretfully: "I'm still in my filial piety period, no more. I write and read every day, and take care of the family accounts, so I don't have time."

Lin Jue's smile couldn't help but grow bigger: "She is such a good girl who makes people feel distressed. Then my brother will take you out to listen more. Let's go eat now, Yushantang, how about it?"

"Brother is really good at joking, how can you enter the imperial dining room casually?" Daiyu laughed.

"It's Yushantang, the Yushantang, the mountains and rivers, and finally the hall of the Tanghui. This is the property of Kang Wang's family. It is said that the cooks in it were all taught by the cooks of the imperial dining room in the palace. I will take you to eat later. That’s it for the royal meal.”

"Oh, my brother is so bold, my sister will just wait." Daiyu said playfully.

The two brothers and sisters were chatting and laughing, and were about to leave when they heard chaos outside, as if someone was making trouble.

Lin Jue frowned unconsciously, and shouted: "Lin Xiang, go and see what's going on."

Lin Xiang answered through the door, but there was no movement.Not long after, Lin Xiang ran back, and just knocked on the door, Lin Jue said impatiently, "Come in."

Lin Xiang came in, made a hasty salute, and said: "Someone started fighting below, and it was done by a young master himself. The one who hit was the young master of Li Yushi's family. The young master who beat him was so young that he didn't recognize him, but he followed him. The people here are a bit like the family of the fourth prince." After speaking, Lin Xiang seemed to have something to say, but he was a little uneasy.

Lin Jue knocked on the table: "What else, just say it."

Lin Xiangcai said hesitantly: "The little one looked at that young master, it seems to be, it seems to be, a woman disguised as a man."

Daiyu looked at Lin Jue in surprise: "Brother, this—"

Lin Jue patted Daiyu's hand reassuringly, and Lin Xiang continued, "There happens to be a princess born in the fourth prince's family who was born in Yongyu's third year. Depending on her age, she should be that girl."

Just as Lin Xiang finished speaking, Guanqi squeezed in again: "Master, the fourth son of Prince Liang's residence is over there. Do you want to go over?"

Lin Jue pulled Daiyu up: "Since the fourth prince of Prince Liang's residence is over there, I have to go over and say hello."

When Lin Jue protected Daiyu and went downstairs, the matter downstairs had settled down. It seemed that the people in the Li family had recognized the son of Prince Liang's mansion, and what Lin Jue saw was an angry young master smashing Shi Ziyi, the fourth son of Prince Liang's mansion, was protecting him. Lin Jue clasped his fists and said, "So it's the fourth son. How are you doing?"

When Shi Ziyi saw Lin Jue, his eyes lit up, and he came over and pulled Lin Jue's sleeve: "I told you I'm only one year older than you, so I can call you brother, what's your name?"

Lin Jue changed his mind with a smile: "Then why is Brother Shi so busy?"

Shi Ziyi shook his head a little aggrieved, sighed, and turned his head directly to signal: "Hold your master quickly." After the servant over there grabbed the young master, Shi Ziyi said to Lin Jue: "It's hard to say, Let's go out first, go out and talk."

Lin Jue saw that everyone in the teahouse was staring at him, nodded and said with a smile, "Then, Brother Shi first."

After leaving the teahouse, Shi Ziyi realized that there was someone behind Lin Jue, and couldn't help but tease: "Which family is this young master, why are you so shy?!"

Lin Jue blocked Daiyu: "I booked a room at Yushantang, do you want Brother Shi to come with me?"

Before Shi Ziyi could speak, the sulking young master called out, "Of course, I've wanted to go a long time ago."

As he spoke, he poked his head out: "Which family are you from? I'll tell my father to reward you!"

Lin Jue looked at this young man, about ten years old, but with pale complexion and big eyes, he looked extraordinarily energetic.

Lin Jue made a bow: "I have seen the girl."

The little boy obviously didn't expect to be seen by others, and he was about to be annoyed when he saw it.Shi Ziyi pulled him back and stared at the young man: "Get in the car quickly, tell me in the car if you have something to do."

The four of them got into Shi Ziyi's carriage together. This carriage was driven by two people. It was much larger and more comfortable than Lin Jue's carriage.

As soon as she got in the car, Daiyu took the initiative to sit with the little girl over there, and even blinked with Lin Jue, who nodded with a smile.

The girl obviously didn't expect such a situation, but Daiyu said with a smile: "Next time my sister comes out, it's better to use rouge to plug the hole in her ears." As she spoke, she touched her earlobe.

Only then did the girl understand, she leaned over to look at Daiyu's earlobe, and said with a smile, "I also said that the young master of this family is so delicate, so she is a beautiful younger sister."

Shi Ziyi was also stunned, Lin Jue was amused, and introduced: "This is my sister, I just have time today, so I took her out to play. I have been in the capital for half a month, but I stay at home every day, and I am afraid that she will be bored. "

Shi Ziyi quickly turned around and looked at the girl, but he didn't know how to introduce her.

The girl saw Lin Jue's face clearly at this time, and her tone softened: "I am the third daughter of the royal family of Yong County."

Although Lin Jue and Daiyu had guessed her identity a long time ago, they were surprised at this moment, and laughed together: "It turns out to be Princess Yan, I'm rude." He was given the title of Princess Yan, which is the only honor in the royal family.

Shi Ziyi looked at the girl in surprise, and said to Lin Jue: "Today she came to play with her aunt and asked me to take her out, but when I went out I couldn't find her, and when I found her, I started fighting " After finishing speaking, she curled her lips and said to Lin Jue in a low voice: "I don't know who is following this temper, it's really hot."

This involves family affairs, Lin Jue smiled lightly, and did not answer.

The princess over there looked at Lin Jue's smile, but was stunned, and whispered to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, your brother is really pretty."

Daiyu and Yourong smiled: "Of course, my elder brother is not only good-looking, but also knowledgeable. At this age, he is Xie Yuanlang. This time he came to Beijing to study at the Imperial College."

When the four of them got out of the car, Daiyu and the princess were already holding hands and whispering.Lin Jue and Shi Ziyi looked at each other in surprise, shaking their heads and laughing.

Shi Ziyi patted Lin Jue on the shoulder: "I've reserved a room for them to use, and we two can go to the room you reserved."

Lin Jue looked at Daiyu with some embarrassment, and Daiyu nodded with a smile: "Brother, don't worry about me, sister Yan will take good care of me."

The meal was not finished until the beginning of Shen time (three o'clock in the afternoon).The four parted at the door, Princess Yan held Daiyu in her arms: "My good sister, I don't have any direct sisters, so I fell in love with you, don't forget me."

Daiyu was also very reluctant. The sisters in her grandmother's house were more bored than the other, and they didn't see much at ordinary times. It was rare to have such close friends: "Good sister, I also miss you."

Shi Ziyi looked amused, and directly grabbed Princess Yan's clothes at the back of her neck: "If you don't want to part with it, just go and see Miss Lin. Is this acting as parting?"

Princess Yan turned her head and gave Shi Ziyi a white look, then hugged Daiyu again: "My sister is waiting, five or six days away, ten days away, I will definitely go to Rongguo Mansion to find you."

"Then I'll sweep the couch at home and wait for my sister."

Shi Ziyi directly carried Princess Yan into the car, and said: "Brother Lin, the letter my brother sent to me is asking me to take care of you. If there is anything wrong, just ask someone to come to me."

"See you in the future." Lin Jue clasped his fists slightly.

"Brother, sister Yan is so pitiful. He only has one brother who is a direct relative, and he is ten years older than him, so he can't talk at all. The sisters in the family are all from concubines, and they can't play together. Only the fourth son of Prince Liang's mansion is better than her. Five years older, I will take her to play, but I am always impatient."

"Brother, those who followed Sister Yan today are also maidservants, who know martial arts, and can go out with her. She also promised me to send me two maidservants who can also learn martial arts."

"Brother, don't look at sister Yan who looks fierce, but is actually very gentle. Today, because someone from the Li family molested a little girl, sister Yan couldn't help beating him. Princess Yong had a miscarriage before she was pregnant. Child, she is not in good health, and King Yong is just spoiled, so she has such a temper. In fact, she is not a bad person."

"Brother, sister Yan..."

Lin Jue tapped Daiyu's head amusedly, and said with feigned anger, "Sister Yan, Sister Yan, you mentioned Sister Yan all the way. She is so nice, what brother do you want?"

Daiyu was very interested, and she was not afraid. She tugged at Lin Jue's sleeve: "No matter how good sister Yan is, it belongs to someone else, and no matter how bad my brother is, it belongs to me. It's just mine."

Lin Jue laughed: "Okay, sit up straight, we're almost home. Since you like her so much, then get along with her well."

But Daiyu whispered secretly, "Brother, sister Yan even praised you for looking good, saying that she has never seen such a good-looking person."

Lin Jue tapped Daiyu's nose: "What are you talking about? This involves a woman's boudoir, so don't talk nonsense."

Daiyu stuck out her tongue playfully, but fell silent.
