The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

"How do you know what she's thinking?" Lin Yao suddenly thought of a question. It was true that he treated Gu Fulan like a child, but he never told Daiyu about his relationship with Gu Fulan. How could Daiyu know about him? Coaxed Gu Fulan like a child?

Unless, the two little sisters discussed it in private.

Sure enough, Daiyu smiled and said, "Brother is so smart, he should have guessed it."

The corner of Lin Yao's mouth twitched, "You two have a good relationship, you can talk about everything."

"Sister Lan and I do have a good relationship, but my brother really treats me and Sister Lan as ignorant children. I said before that Sister Lan likes you in her heart, but you don't believe me. I have to say Sister Lan I'm still young, so I don't understand these things. Looking at it now, it's not sister Lan who doesn't understand these things, but brother you who don't." Daiyu spoke softly, but what she said was not polite at all.

Why did Lin Yao always treat her like a child in the past?

Lin Yao: "..."

Taking a breath, Lin Yao rubbed her forehead, "You are eloquent now, I can't say no to you."

Daiyu laughed, "My brother is really humble. I know that my brother just doesn't care about me. If you really want to reprimand me, how can you say no?"

Lin Yao didn't argue with her, "You are waiting for me here, what's the matter?"

When he turned around and saw Daiyu before, he thought she was here to complain for the little sister, but after chatting a few words, Lin Yao knew that he was trying to make a mistake.

After he mentioned it, Daiyu immediately remembered, and took out a small box from her sleeve, "Sister Lan asked me to give it to you." She said and handed it to Lin Yao.

To be honest, Lin Yao is a little afraid of these two little girls now.

However, he gave something out of good intentions, and it was his sister who came forward. Lin Yao really didn't want to embarrass Daiyu, so no matter how awkward she felt, she still reached out to take it.

He didn't ask Daiyu what was inside. Since Gu Fulan gave it to him, Daiyu must not have opened it without permission. If so, she must not know. What's the use of asking her?

"Thank her for me." Lin Yao said.

Daiyu cleared her throat and said, "Brother, you should treat Sister Lan better. When the time comes, your daughter-in-law will run away in anger, and you will have no place to cry."

"..." Is this what my sister said?

Lin Yao twitched her lips and said, "I see."

"It's useless to just know, brother, I'm not talking about you. If you and Sister Lan hadn't decided on the marriage early, the threshold of the Gu family would have been broken by now." Seeing that Lin Yao didn't feel any sense of crisis, Daiyu didn't either. Know what to say.

Lin Yao raised her eyebrows, "From what you mean, there are quite a lot of people who like Sister Gu?"

"Anyway, brother, you should have some fun." Daiyu sighed.

Lin Yao didn't understand where Daiyu's worries came from, but her sister was so worried about him, and Lin Yao felt sorry for him. After all, it was because he didn't do a good enough job that made his parents and sister worry about him.

He originally thought about postponing the wedding date, but now it seems that unless there is an accident that has to postpone the wedding date, Jia Min alone cannot persuade him to postpone the wedding date.

"Okay, okay, let's go back, let's go together." Standing in the corridor and talking, the cold wind was blowing through the bones, it was really chilling.

Daiyu also felt a little cold, she nodded and walked side by side with Lin Yao.

"Will my brother go to Yangzhou next year?" Daiyu asked.

"Not going." Lin Yao said.

Daiyu originally thought that Lin Yao would go to Yangzhou, but she didn't expect to get an unexpected answer, "The wedding will be on the first day of August next year, and my brother will go to Yangzhou to study for a few months, and he will come back in time."

"Are you encouraging me to go?" Lin Yao asked amusedly.

Daiyu shook her head, "I didn't say that, it's just a little weird, brother, you're right when you think about it, when you decided to take the children's exam, even the old lady and I advised you to go to Beijing together, and it's not too late to take the exam later, why don't you If I don’t listen, I have to stay in Yangzhou alone. After returning to the capital, the same is true. In order to go to Yangzhou to study, I rushed to Yangzhou before the [-]th day of the first lunar month. Last year was an exception, and this year just passed the New Year. You ran to Yangzhou and counted the decisions you made over the years, brother, but you never regretted it."

Lin Yao listened to Daiyu rambling on a lot, was stunned for a moment, and smiled, "You remember clearly."

"Of course I remember clearly. I advised you to go back to Beijing with us. If you refused, I was reprimanded by Auntie." Daiyu snorted.

Lin Yao recalled what happened back then, and said with emotion, "So many years have passed in a flash, time flies so fast."

"By the way, brother, I heard that Yun'er was sent to study in Yangzhou by cousin Lian?" Daiyu suddenly remembered this and asked.

Lin Yao nodded, "What's wrong?"

"You won't go to Yangzhou to study next year, won't Yun'er have to stay in Yangzhou alone? Or, he won't go next year?" Daiyu said.

Lin Yao laughed, "What are you thinking? Even if I'm not in Yangzhou, is it possible that someone still dares to bully Yun'er? Not to mention that all my good classmates are in Yangzhou, even if my teacher is the dean, no one would dare to bully Yun'er." Dare to bully Yun'er in Shanhai Academy."

Daiyu also laughed when she heard this, "That's true."

"Is brother free tomorrow?"

Lin Yao raised her eyebrows, did she ask him for something?

"I just returned to Beijing, what can I do? Tell me what you have to say."

Daiyu said, "Tomorrow I want to go to the temple to fulfill my vows, can my brother accompany me?"

"Fulfill your wish? What is your wish?" Lin Yao felt strange. Because Daiyu had a monk who had been a monk in her childhood, she was not too interested in these monk temples. Now she wants to go to the temple to fulfill her wish. It is really strange.

Daiyu looked at him and smiled, "Brother, why do you ask so many questions? Since brother has time, it's a deal, and he will accompany me to the temple tomorrow." After finishing speaking, before Lin Yao could reply, she trotted into her bedroom. courtyard.

Lin Yao shook her head amusedly, and didn't chase after her to refuse. She went to the temple with her sister to fulfill her vows.

Back in the courtyard, Lin Yao went straight to the study and opened the bookcase that Lin Ruhai gave him, but unexpectedly, the whole bookcase was filled with books of eclectic words.

The one on top is knowing how to remember.

Lin Yao: "..."

What does this mean, sir?

Let him learn from Zhang Sheng and be a scumbag?

Or is he mocking his attitude of indifference to Gu Fulan this year, is Zhang Sheng the second?

The more Lin Yao thought about it, the more she felt that the master was using this book to warn him, telling him not to follow Zhang Sheng as a person with a bad heart.

After she thought she had figured it out, Lin Yao didn't have any desire to read the following words, so she put it back in the book case and threw it in the corner.

Lin Yao wrote a few words in the study to meditate, then washed and fell asleep.

The next morning, after having breakfast with her family, Lin Yao talked to the master and wife about going to the temple with Daiyu to fulfill her vows.

Jia Min looked at Daiyu, Daiyu didn't wait for Jia Min to speak, and said, "Before my brother came back, sister Lan and I went to the temple to offer incense, and let the Bodhisattva bless my brother to go back to Beijing safely. Go to the temple and fulfill your vows."

Hearing this, Jia Min understood what Daiyu meant. Daiyu and Gu Fulan had always been close, but neither Gu Fulan nor Daiyu had much enthusiasm for Buddhist temples. She guessed that Daiyu wanted to marry Laner and Yaoer. Get together and let them get along in private.

The encounter created in this way is naturally different from Lin Yao asking Lan'er to go out.

"But the fifth day?" Jia Min asked as if recalling something.

Lin Daiyu didn't show it on the surface, but she was very happy in her heart. Her mother was too cooperative.

"It was that day." Daiyu said.

Jia Min nodded, and told Lin Yao to take good care of Daiyu, without mentioning Gu Fulan.

Lin Yao thought Daiyu's words were a bit strange before, why did she mention Gu Fulan so gracefully, but now Jia Min asked him to take care of Daiyu, but didn't mention Gu Fulan, so he thought he was thinking too much.

"Yes."

Daiyu rode in the carriage, and Lin Yao rode beside the carriage.

Guangji Temple is in Xicheng, and Lin Fu is also in Xicheng. Although they are not far away, the carriage cannot travel fast in the city, so the speed is not fast. It took about an hour to reach Guangji Temple.

Guangji Temple is an ancient temple with hundreds of years, including this dynasty, which has gone through the Three Kingdoms.

At the gate of the mountain, before Lin Yao dismounted, he heard someone calling him, "Ah Yao?"

Lin Yao turned around and saw Lin Ying supporting a beautiful woman, who was Lin Ying's wife, Shen Shi.

Shen's lower abdomen bulges slightly, it looks like she has just been pregnant for a few months.

Just as Daiyu got off the carriage, she also heard someone calling Lin Yao, following Lin Yao's gaze, she quickly recognized who the person calling Lin Yao was.

Lin Ying is considered to be her clan brother, and because of Lin Yao's relationship, she is a little closer than other clan brothers.

Lin Yao brought Daiyu forward to say hello.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law."

Lin Ying laughed, "When did Ah Yao return to Beijing? I don't know?"

"I arrived in the capital the night before yesterday. I had something to do at home yesterday. Today I accompanied my sister to the temple to fulfill my wish." Lin Yao simply explained, "Second sister-in-law is happy?"

"It's been four or five months." Mentioning this, Lin Ying's face was full of happiness.

Lin Yao smiled and congratulated him on becoming a father again.

Because Lin Ying came as a couple, and Lin Yao didn't want to be a light bulb, so after chatting for a few words, they separated at the gate of the mountain.

Lin Yao and Daiyu entered the temple, first went to burn incense, and then accompanied Daiyu to worship Buddha in various halls.

The two walked towards the Duobao Hall, and as soon as they turned the corner, they met a beautiful girl head-on.

"Sister Lin?" The beautiful girl stepped forward to hold Daiyu's hand, "Why don't you tell me?"

Daiyu was talking to the beautiful girl, Lin Yao took two steps back to avoid suspicion.

But he vaguely felt that the pretty girl who had just started to look familiar was somewhat familiar.

Just thinking about where he met him, Daiyu called him, "What are you doing hiding so far away? Why don't you come here soon?"

Lin Yao: "..."

He is a foreigner and has a marriage contract. It is inappropriate to get too close to other girls, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the beautiful girl say, "Brother Lin, don't you remember me?"

Lin Yao raised her head when she heard the sound, a little confused.

He has grown so big, there is only one person who calls him Brother Lin, and that is Gu Fulan.

But... does Gu Fulan look like this?

But I haven't seen you for a year, so I grow up too fast, right?

This height jumps, almost 1.6 meters, right?

He is only 1.8 meters...

"Brother! Why are you in a daze?!" Daiyu shouted angrily.

Lin Yao came back to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects. He looked at Gu Fulan suspiciously, but happened to meet a pair of big watery eyes.

Well, this eye, she is right.

From the first time Lin Yao saw Gu Fulan, she knew that she had beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Last year, when he saw Gu Fulan, Gu Fulan's eyebrows had not yet opened, and she looked childish.

He hasn't seen Gu Fulan since November last year, and it's been more than a year.

Today's Gu Fulan's eyebrows and eyes have grown a lot, and she no longer looks like a child like last year.

"Why doesn't my brother always talk to Sister Lan?" Daiyu really couldn't do anything about his brother who was like a piece of wood. He told him yesterday that he should be more considerate to Sister Lan, otherwise his daughter-in-law would run away with someone.

As a result, when we met today, he was still in a daze.

Really pissed off!

Lin Yao cleared her throat, tried to stay calm, and bowed her hands with a smile, "Sister Gu has changed so much, I almost can't recognize her."

Daiyu: "..." Brother, you will lose your wife if you talk like this!It's understandable that the changes are too big, but what does it mean to not recognize them?Do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?
