Lin Jue of the Red Chamber

Daiyu hurriedly asked Xueyan to tidy her hair. Daiyu and Lin Jue had been arguing for a long time, and her clothes and hair were all messed up. Fortunately, she was in the house, so she cleaned it up in a while.Daiyu took off the jade bracelet from her hand, washed her hands and face carefully, put on rouge again, and then went to the door.

Lin Jue also tidied up her clothes, got off the bed, sat by the brazier to enjoy the fire, and instructed the servant girl to remove the incense from the incense burner: "The air is not good, open the windows more to ventilate, the aroma is too strong, it is easy Dizziness."

With brisk laughter, a group of girls poured in, besides Sanchun whom I had already seen, the other plump one was Xue Baochai.In fact, Xue Baochai at this time was just a nine-year-old girl. She said she had a graceful posture, but she was actually more like a slightly fat girl.Standing with Yingchun, they are about the same height, but they have gained a lot of weight.

Baoyu was at the back, staring at Daiyu all the time, and couldn't stop praising: "Sister Lin is really well dressed today."

Lin Jue lowered his face and coughed. Only a few people noticed Lin Jue and hurriedly saluted: "I've met Brother Lin."

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Hello, sisters." Then he said to Baochai, "This must be the girl from the Xue family!"

Baochai hurriedly saluted: "I have met Mr. Lin." But he couldn't help thinking, seeing Brother Bao is already a celestial figure, and this Mr. Lin is even more reticent, saying, "I have a poetic spirit in my stomach." It's really good, he is more attractive than Baoyu.

Lin Jue smiled and stood up: "You little girls, let's play, I'm going to the study." As he spoke, he looked at Baoyu who was smiling from ear to ear and said, "Brother Bao, why are you still standing? Follow me Study room."

Baoyu was shocked: "How can this be? Good brother, let me play here."

Lin Jue frowned, looked at Baoyu seriously, and said nothing.

Baoyu was originally quite afraid of his cousin who was admitted to Jieyuan at a young age, but now that Lin Jue frowned, Baoyu stood up in fright, but after thinking about it, he finally came to Lixiangyuan, not many Talk to sister Lin, if you leave, how can there be such a good opportunity in the future?With those old dogs blocking him, he couldn't even enter the house.So, he just stood there blankly, neither answering nor moving.

Sanchun knew that his cousin had always been strict and did not dare to intercede.

Baochai looked puzzled at Sanchun, then at Baoyu, and said, "Since Brother Bao doesn't want to go there, why don't you stay here and talk to us!"

Lin Jue coughed, ignored Baochai, and asked peacefully, "Brother Bao, do you want to follow me to the study?"

Seeing Lin Jue's peaceful appearance, Baoyu was even more frightened. He looked at Daiyu and Sanchun aggrievedly, and saw that they had no intention of interceding for him, so he could only walk towards Lin Jue step by step.

Baochai's face was flushed, and tears were shining in her eyes. It has been more than a month since her family came to Rongguo Mansion. He didn't give himself face, he pretended he didn't hear what he said, he really had a good skin, fortunately, the Lin family still talked about the family of "poetry and etiquette".

Tanchun squeezed Baochai's hand lightly, and asked Daiyu with a smile, "Sister Lin, I came here just now to look at the snow dolls in the yard, they are really beautiful."

Someone from Dai Yule changed the topic for himself: "Most of the things my brother and I brought are from Jiangnan. How can we have the opportunity to see such a heavy snow? It's the first time I have seen it. It's a bit novel, so it's piled up." Here comes the snowman."

Yingchun helped the hairpin that was hidden in her hair, and smiled: "How many times do we Beijingers not see heavy snow every year? Now we just dislike the difficulty of walking on snowy roads."

Daiyu smiled and asked Baochai: "We are the only two in this room who are from Jiangnan. Sister Bao has never seen such heavy snow."

Baochai smiled with difficulty, and said: "Yes, because of this, I called a few sisters to come and play with you this morning."

Xichun rushed to Daiyu's bookshelf as soon as Lin Jue left, and now came over happily holding a chess record: "Second sister, look, this is the chess record you were looking for a few days ago. Sister Lin has it here."

Yingchun couldn't help looking at Daiyu in embarrassment, and took Xichun over: "How can you flip through Sister Lin's book randomly? This is not good." Saying this, Zi Xichun took the book from her hand and put it on the table.

Daiyu gave Xichun a plate of candied fruit with a smile, and said: "Fourth sister is still young, and I don't have any direct sisters. In my heart, you are my sisters. Xichun is close to me because I don't see anyone. , I am too late to be happy."

Yingchun smiled embarrassedly, bowed her head and remained silent.

Xichun took the candied fruit and smiled triumphantly: "I just know that Sister Lin has a good temper, so she won't be angry with me."

Daiyu picked up the chess book with a smile, flipped through two pages, and handed it to Yingchun: "Since Second Sister likes it, give this book to Second Sister."

Yingchun was quite at a loss, and repeatedly refused: "A gentleman doesn't win people's love, how can I ask my sister's chess record, if it's suitable, I'll just take a look at you."

Daiyu directly handed the chess record to the chess player behind Yingchun: "You keep it for your girl." Then, she pressed Yingchun's hand and said, "Second sister, there is also a saying that a sword is given to a hero, I don't mind it Shanqi, this book is buried here, why not take it back with my sister. If you really don’t want it, just tear it up.”

Yingchun let out a surprised "Yeah" and looked at the chess record. She really liked it so much that she couldn't say "tear it up", so she said, "Then I can thank Sister Lin."

Xichun put down the candied fruit, clapped her hands and said, "Second Sister can't just thank Sister Lin, if I hadn't found this book, you wouldn't have known about it."

Yingchun pinched Xichun's cheek: "Okay, thank you to my fourth sister too."

Daiyu looked at Tanchun, who was smiling but not speaking, and Baochai, who was obviously distracted, and said, "What books do you like? Do you want to take a look?"

Tanchun got up: "I heard that Sister Lin has a lot of books here, let me take a look." As he said, he tugged at Baochai's sleeve.

Baochai also came back to her senses suddenly: "That's good."

The five girls here are having fun, but Baoyu in the study is miserable.

"What? Haven't finished reading the Four Books?" Lin Jue frowned as he looked at the trembling Baoyu.

Baoyu was about to die of regret, she was really unlucky, she finally came to see Sister Lin, and was not blocked by that damned old monster, but was blocked by this exquisite-looking Brother Lin, and was forced into the study to ask for knowledge: "This, this gentleman hasn't said anything yet."

Lin Jue picked up the book and thought for a while: "After all, I have nothing to do today, so let me tell you." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Baoyu to speak, she turned to the first page and ordered Baoyu to sit down. Let's talk about it directly... Tired Baoyu has the heart to cry.

Not long after, it was early noon (11 o'clock in the morning), and Yingchun got up: "I've been playing all morning, it's time to go back." Tanchun, Xichun, and Baochai also got up.

Daiyu couldn't keep it, and because she was on a vegetarian diet, it was not easy for guests to follow her vegetarian diet. Poor Daiyu, I didn't know that Lin Jue had asked the doctor to set a recipe for her. Not to mention that it is made with lard, it is only suitable for her.I had no choice but to send them to the gate of the yard: "I'm bored here. If you have time in the future, come and sit. I'm the happiest." The four of them also laughed: "If that's the case, then we will I have to come to bother you twice more."

When they returned to Xiangheyuan, Baochai was unhappy. He and Daiyu were no different, they were both single parents. They had no father and Daiyu had no mother.Although his father was a senior member of the second rank, he still holds the position of the imperial merchant.They all have older brothers, and this one is still a direct relative, and the other side is an adopted one.Why does it seem that he is inferior to Daiyu in every way?It was the young master of the Lin family who dumped his face, and those good sisters and sisters didn't even say a word of comfort.

As he was secretly feeling sad, Xue Pan came in with a thrush cage. After entering the room, he took off the outer fur coat and drank a glass of water. Then he saw Baochai who was sitting dumbfounded. The bird cage swayed in front of the absent-minded sister: "What's the matter? Come and see my baby, I just found it today."

Baochai was already sad that her brother didn't live up to expectations, but now looking at Xue Pan and thinking about Lin Jieyuan, she was even more aggrieved, and couldn't help but annoyed: "Is it still a baby? You don't want to read a book if you have time, at least Go and look through our family's account books. Mr. Lin is about the same age as you, take a look at him, and then look at you, nothing will happen in this life."

Xue Pan came back from playing outside, and he didn't want to listen to his sister's nagging: "Anyway, it's not a loss for you to dress and eat, why do you always care about such things?"

"It's not a loss, so I can dress and eat? Are you willing to lose all of our family's property?" Baochai almost fell down in anger, and she didn't want to admit defeat. "You just don't have Mr. Lin's [-]% ability, it's good to have his [-]% ability."

"Okay, it's up to you. I think Mr. Lin is good, and he can't be your brother, but don't worry, he is so good, and he always keeps his head down. Lady Yuan is not bad either." Xue Pan was very impatient, dropped these words, and went straight out.

Baochai's eyes were red, and she couldn't help crying: "Mom, mom, take a look, your son is quite capable."

Over there, Daiyu and Lin Jue had dinner together, but they were much happier.The two of them shared food with each other, and after two months in Beijing, their relationship improved a lot.Moreover, Lin Jue saw that Daiyu was quite happy living here, and she gave the Rongguo Mansion a reprieve, thinking that her plans would be implemented in two years and would be more lively.

Moreover, he wanted to rescue Lin Ruhai from that pit in the south of the Yangtze River before the new emperor ascended the throne. Is this also a major event that needs to be planned for a long time?
