Lin Jue of the Red Chamber

After arriving at the mansion, Lin Jue took a short rest, and then called Nanny Sheng to ask about today's situation: "Mommy, are you all right in Pear Fragrance Garden today?"

Nanny Sheng had just come from Daiyu's room, and she had already heard about Lin Jue sending someone to find her nephew. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt down, and Lin Jue ignored him. Excited: "Everything is okay in the yard, but the young master came to look for the girl in the morning and was stopped outside. I just said that the girl went to bed late yesterday and was making up sleep at that time. The young master doesn't seem very happy."

Lin Jue sneered disdainfully: "When Baoyu comes again in the future, there is no need to stop him. Welcome him to my study, just watch him. But he is not allowed to go behind."

Nanny Sheng respectfully replied yes, and a while later.Only then did Lin Jue help Nanny Sheng up: "When the family members come, I will also give him an errand. When the girl is done, you will have a lot of blessings."

Grandma Sheng received a positive answer from Lin Jue, tears rolled down her face, she knelt down again, choked up and said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, master. This old slave will never forget the grace of master and girl." , as long as the old slave is alive, he will definitely protect the girl well."

"Well, I will go to see Daiyu, I should be tired after playing for a day. By the way, where is the maid given by the old lady?" Lin Jue suddenly remembered the parrot, who was later regarded as a loyal servant. Juan couldn't help but have a big head again. If she wants to ration Daiyu to Baoyu, she is still a little loyal, but she is not smart enough.But now the Mushi Qianmeng is absolutely impossible, so she might have to be dismissed.

"I've been in the girl's room all the time, she doesn't go out very much." Nanny Sheng didn't quite understand Lin Jue's meaning, so she answered thoughtfully.

"Take her to my study, and don't let her get into the girl's body. Just let her run errands if you have anything to do." Lin Jue thought about it, and it was the only way.

Seeing Nanny Sheng withdraw respectfully, Lin Jue smiled and knocked on the table: "In this way, he should stay at Lin's house with peace of mind."

In the evening, Lin Jue and Daiyu were having dinner quietly, when someone lifted the curtain outside: "Second Grandma Lian has arrived."

Even though it was already evening, Sister Feng was still wearing gorgeous clothes that could even be called dazzling.

Lin Jue and Daiyu got up quickly. Sister Feng walked to Lin Jue with a smile and pressed Lin Jue's shoulder: "It's because I came at the wrong time. You and Daiyu can have dinner first, it's nothing serious."

Lin Jue smiled: "The second sister-in-law of Lian came at just the right time, and Daiyu and I have run out." Several big maids hurried over to wait for Lin Jue and Daiyu to wash their mouths and wash their hands, while several young maids quickly cleared the table. After tidying up, several cups of freshly brewed tea were served.

"The second sister-in-law is here now, why?"

"Hehe, it's just a small matter. Aunt Xue, the second wife's natal sister, my natal aunt has come to the capital. It was supposed to go to the palace, but my father has been in office since last spring. So the second wife wanted to let Aunt Xue is coming to live in the house." At this point, Sister Feng paused, obviously wanting Lin Jue and Daiyu to agree.Unexpectedly, the two of them just laughed and said nothing.

Sister Feng had no choice but to cough dryly, took a sip of water, and continued: "Aunt Xue is coming tomorrow, and everyone in the house is going to pick her up, so you should go too. It just so happens that Aunt Xue's family also has two younger brothers who are about the same age as you. younger sister."

After hearing this, Daiyu looked at Lin Jue with an expression of "I only listen to my brother". Lin Jue sighed, "Daiyu and I should both go. But Aunt Xue's family has a foreigner, so Daiyu went It's inconvenient. I have to go to the Imperial College tomorrow, and I don't have time, so let's meet again another day." Heh, Mrs. Wang really tried her best to save face for Rongguo Mansion through the people of the Lin family.

As soon as Lin Jue opened her mouth, Sister Feng knew that this matter was not as easy as she thought, but when she saw Lin Jue rejected her so simply, she couldn't help but secretly annoyed that Lin Jue didn't give her face.He also thought that he took the initiative to take over the matter of coming to Lixiangyuan in the hands of his aunt, if he couldn't handle it well, he would lose his face.There was no trace of anger on his face, and he said with a coquettish smile: "Brother Lin, he is a serious relative, and he is still young, so why can't we see each other. How good is it for Daiyu to have someone to talk to in the future?"

Lin Jue held up the hot tea and warmed his palms: "Second sister-in-law is not right. I took Daiyu from my father properly. I dare not do such outrageous things. Second sister-in-law should feel sorry for my younger brother. Don't mention this matter again." Heh, the son and daughter of a second-rank official welcome a merchant's wife who has no rank, even if it is an imperial merchant, the Lin family can't afford to lose this person.

Sister Feng couldn't help turning black, and took a deep look at Lin Jue: "Since I can't invite the Lin family brother, I have no choice but to go back. I only hope that the Lin family brother will not regret it in the future."

"It's getting late and it's not good to keep my sister-in-law to play for a while. Xueyan, quickly bring a glazed lantern," Lin Jue shouted, and got up to see off the guests with a smile on his face. Sister Feng said: "The road is dark, and I'm afraid of the wind. There is a glazed lamp here, which can prevent the wind. It is bright and bright. The second sister-in-law asked the little girl to carry it, so it will be safer."

"Brother Lin doesn't need to see you off, it's only a few steps away, let's go back." After speaking, Sister Feng motioned Ping'er to take the glazed lantern, without looking back, she took the servant girl and walked away in a mighty manner.

After returning to her courtyard, Sister Feng asked the maids to go out first as soon as she entered the door, leaving only Ping'er to wait on her.After much deliberation, Sister Feng, who couldn't calm down, couldn't help but dropped a cup, and said angrily: "Eating Rongguo Mansion's food, using Rongguo Mansion's food, even asking them to greet Aunt Xue, that's an elder, why not?" Already?" At this time, Sister Feng completely forgot that she herself was not happy when the second wife said this.

Ping'er, who was squatting to pick up the broken porcelain, hurriedly said anxiously: "Good grandma, please keep your voice down." After being glanced at by Sister Feng, Ping'er quickly wrapped the broken porcelain with a handkerchief, and then went to press Sister Feng's shoulder: " Grandma, Miss Lin gave us 2000 taels of silver for the usual expenses on the second day after she came here, I'm afraid the ancestors will be annoyed if you spread the word now."

Sister Feng still insisted: "What's the use of 2000 taels of silver? If you can't send beggars, you have to make up for it in the house." The box "Tuyi" is said to be a Tuyi, and the rouge and gouache inside are all high-quality, which is rare in Beijing.

Sister Feng and Heping'er have always been "Meng does not leave Jiao, Jiao does not leave Meng", how can I not hear that Sister Feng has loosened up a bit, remembering the gift Daiyu gave me alone, and the words that the person who said it was very ironic, I will continue to work hard Said: "Grandma said two days ago that she wanted to get along well with Uncle Lin and asked him to replace Second Master with something he really lacked. Why did they quarrel again today? Fortunately, I don't think Mr. Lin is fussy. I'll go see Lin tomorrow. Girl, it's all right."

Thinking of Lin Ruhai's second-rank official position, Sister Feng thought about joking again: "Ping'er understands what I mean, but I still have to see Aunt Xue tomorrow, so let's go the day after tomorrow. You can find two bolts of good cloth and send them there together."

On that day, Lin Jue got up early and left Rongguo Mansion. Before leaving, she repeatedly told Daiyu not to go to the front to meet Aunt Xue. Daiyu promised to be absolutely obedient, and Lin Jue left.
