Lin Jue of the Red Chamber

Chapter 3 Classmates

Lin Jue took Fengxuan and Mi'er back to her own yard, and handed them all over to the nanny Lu Shi. You must know that a servant girl who has not learned the rules systematically cannot serve her master personally.

In the afternoon, the sun slanted into the study, and the warm but not burning light of spring through the window lattice gave people a sense of leisure and comfort.

Lin Jue was reviewing her homework when she heard reprimands faintly coming from the yard.Lin Jue walked to the window and looked out, but it was Mama Lu who was talking about the rules: "In the entire Gusu City, our Lin family is also a first-class good family. The master and wife are kind, and there are no concubines or concubines. Whose blessing is it to serve in the Lin family? The Lin family doesn't have many rules, so I remember them clearly.

The first one, since you have entered the Lin family, you will be born as members of the Lin family and die as ghosts of the Lin family. No one is allowed to do the thing of betraying the master. If anyone does it, the uncle will spare him, and I will not forgive him.The light ones are sold, and the serious ones are killed.

The second rule is to keep your hands and feet clean.The monthly rule of the Lin family is three hundred cash per month for a little maid, Duo'er Mier is like this, and when she is done, she will be promoted to a maidservant by the mistress, and the fee will be five hundred cash.A young man earns five hundred wen a month, and this is the case for watching chess and Fengxuan. Like Yanmo, it is eight hundred wen a month.The master will not treat you badly, so let me take care of your hands and feet, and no one is allowed to steal.

The third rule, you are all serving the uncle, you are not allowed to do anything messy to disturb the uncle's study, if anyone wants to spoil the uncle, just wait for the mistress to sell you!

Fourth, remember clearly where you can go and where you cannot go.You are not allowed to follow after the uncle has entered the main room.Especially you three boys, just wait in the front yard..."

Listening to this, Lin Jue couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and went back to the desk to continue studying.

To say that the efficiency of the housewife is not covered, especially when it comes to her own son.In less than half a month, Mrs. Du cleaned up Quan Xuexuan.Quanxuexuan is a small courtyard with two entrances. In front are three main rooms, which are used as Lin Jue's bedroom, study and reception room.On the right is the place where Lu's mother lived with her two little maids.On the left is a small kitchen, Lin Jue used it for hot soup when he was studying late.The backyard is where the three boys live and a small warehouse.There were two sycamore trees that were more than ten years old in the front yard, and there was also a bamboo forest in the back yard.Du Shi thought it was too simple and elegant, so he added two more magnolias, and moved two grapes to the side of the yard.

At breakfast this day, Lin Jue was carefully choosing fishbone for Lin Chen. Father Lin seemed to remember something, and said, "Since Quan Xuexuan has already been packed, I'll let my eldest brother move there on a good day!"

Lin Jue smiled: "Haha, I finally want to have my own yard, but when is a good time, why don't I move it when I am resting this time." It comes from "Zhou Li Baoshi": "To raise the sons of the country as Tao is to teach the six arts: one is called five rituals, the other is called six music, the third is called five shooting, the fourth is called five controls, the fifth is called six books, and the sixth is called nine numbers." The Six Arts School has been in operation for more than 100 years, and it has also taught many Jinshi Juren, which can be said to be famous all over the south of the Yangtze River.In order to live up to the reputation and to let the students learn more knowledge, they have one day off for ten days, which is the same as the rest system for officials.It is not easy to ask for leave.

Mrs. Du carefully blew the fish soup in the spoon, and smiled: "When you think about it, it will be too late. A few days ago, I went to Qingquan Temple to pay respects to the Buddha, but I asked the elders in the temple to make the final decision. It's a good day to move. If you want me to say, move in the day after tomorrow, you don't have to worry about it. Just wait for your break this time, why not invite some classmates from the school to come to the house to have fun. Let them see you too yard."

"Madam is wise."

"Mother is wise."

Lin Jue and Father Lin looked at each other and praised in unison.Only Lin Yu looked blankly at his parents and then at his elder brother, babbling: "Madam is wise!" Everyone laughed.

On this day, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the breeze is gentle, and the spring in the south is always full of poetic and picturesque.The Lin Mansion on Songming Street is extremely lively.

There was a carriage coming from afar, and as soon as it arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion, before the carriage stopped, a blue-clothed boy with student hair accessories jumped out, and the coachman jumped up: "My good master, how dare you?" Just jump off."

Although this boy is young, he can still tell that his color is somewhat bright. At this time, his blue clothes seem to be glowing with halos in the sun.It's just that the boy didn't pay attention to the coachman, he just pointed his eyes at the boy who was dawdling on the car and didn't dare to jump down to follow quickly.The concierge of Lin's mansion also greeted him: "Young Master Zhao has come, my uncle is waiting for you."

The boy handed over the gift box in his hand: "How many are here?"

The concierge received the gift box with an even more respectful expression: "Young Master Sun and Young Master Gao came earlier, and Young Master Wang was only a quarter of an hour earlier than you."

"Hey, I'm the only one who is late." Young Master Zhao patted himself on the head with a fan, and walked in quickly.

Walking to the entrance of Quanxuexuan, hearing the laughter inside, the boy shouted loudly: "But I'm late, it's so lively."

A chubby boy in Tsing Yi put down the pastry in his hand, wiped his mouth carefully with a handkerchief: "What's more, Zhao Rongzhi, Zhao Xiaocai, you are the last one to every party."

Seeing Zhao Rongzhi enter the door, the two boys who were playing chess on the edge also put down their chess pieces and looked over.I saw the boy on the left wearing a milky white jacket embroidered with green bamboo, brocade trousers on his lower body, shoes on his feet also in the style of a student, and a green jade pendant hanging on his waist, the jade is warm and moist.He has a calm expression, although he is still young, it can be seen that Ding is a modest gentleman.The boy on the right is wearing a bright red jacket embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, dark red trousers on his lower body, a pair of cloud-walking boots that are popular nowadays, and a small three-inch sword hanging from his waist.Although his expression was a little arrogant, but with his cute baby face, it just made people feel like pinching his cheek.

Being stared at by the three people, even Zhao Rongzhi, who has always been known for his thick skin, couldn't take it anymore, he bowed to each other with a flattering smile on his face: "I'm late, I'll apologize to everyone. Please forgive me .It’s just that this Songming Street has never been sold to merchants, and it’s understandable that my house is far away.”

At this moment, Lin Jue came in with a few books: "It's because your home is far away, or you're stuck in bed. But since you have apologized, everyone will forgive you." Speaking of this, Lin Jue said The few books in his hand were handed to the boy on the left: "Wang Min, you are a bookworm, please come and warm my house, and ask for these chess books first as soon as you enter the door."

Wang Min was overjoyed when he took the chess record, and didn't care about Lin Juezhong's teasing.He said directly to the boy on the right: "Sun Peng, let Lin Jue play a few games with you first, and I'll take a look at the chess record first."

Seeing Sun Peng's expression of dissatisfaction, Lin Jue quickly smoothed things over: "Wang Min, everyone is here to congratulate me on moving, so why can't you relax for a day. Put down the book quickly."

After hearing Lin Jue's words, Wang Min reluctantly flipped through the book again, and then put the book down amid everyone's amused expressions.

The little boy in Tsing Yi who had been eating pastries scratched his head: "We can't just enjoy the flowers at home in such a beautiful weather today, it's something only girls do."

Lin Jue patted the little boy in Tsing Yi: "Gao Cong, it will be late in the spring when you bring up something. I have already thought about it, let's play at home in the morning, and let you taste the spring bamboo shoots made by my cook at noon." In the afternoon, let's go to Wenchang Street to find some good things. It will be Mr. Yang's birthday next month. In the past two years, we have prepared congratulatory gifts at home. This time, we should prepare one ourselves! Please go to the building outside the building in the evening How about playing?"

Everyone who said this made a smile on their face.

But Gao Cong asked suspiciously: "There is still one hour before lunch, what are we playing?"

Sun Peng laughed and scolded: "Idiot!" Seeing Gao Cong's puzzled expression, he had to explain: "Then you can play whatever you want."

Gao Cong suddenly realized: "Then let's fight crickets! I just got a good cricket, which was given by my third aunt's cousin."

"puff!"

"Ha ha"

"Stupid, lol"

"Haha~"

Hearing Gao Cong's words, the other four couldn't help laughing. Seeing Gao Cong's cute face, everyone laughed even more happily.

Wang Min kindly explained: "Who will bring crickets with you when you come here as a guest?"

"I will, in my carriage." What was even more funny was Gao Cong's serious reply.

"Forget it, Gao Cong, come and play chess with Sun Peng!" Lin Jue pushed Gao Cong over. "Wang Min, go and read your chess records, Zhao Zhirong, come and accompany me to tidy up the bookshelves."

Lin Jue quickly arranged several classmates.Lin Jue's eyes were even softer when he saw his classmates playing and playing happily together.In the previous life, my close friends and friends were also these few, but in the previous life, I missed my sister too much and missed many beautiful things.There is an opportunity to start over from scratch in this life, so you must cherish it.

"Lin Jue, your food is really delicious! It's just that the portions are a bit small!" Gao Cong admired while rubbing his stomach.

"Yes, yes, you eat as much as the four of us." Sun Peng said angrily.

At this time, the five of them had already had lunch and were walking on Wenchang Street.

Wenchang Street is famous for selling literati items. On this street, there are those who sell paintings and calligraphy, some who sell the Four Treasures of the Study, and some who sell rare flowers and birds.Now all they have to do is come and buy a birthday gift for their husband.

Zhao Zhirong was afraid of heat, so he snatched the folding fan from the servant, opened it, flicked it hard twice, and then said: "What are you going to buy? Anyway, I am giving peonies, and the teacher likes it. Stop shopping, I'm going to die of heat!"

"I want to buy a jade pendant for my husband, this is the most convenient." Gao Cong accepted the conversation positively.

"I'll give you a set of the Four Treasures of the Study." Sun Peng pondered for a moment and replied.

"I want to write a picture of a hundred years for my husband." Wang Min felt a little embarrassed.

"We Wang Min's handwriting is the best, and it's good to write a picture of a hundred birthdays. I'll draw a picture of celebrating birthday!" Lin Jue led the way into Baixuetang by the road. This store has always been famous in Gusu for its complete collection of calligraphy and paintings. city.It is said that as long as you make a request, the store can produce calligraphy and paintings that meet the requirements.
