The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Yingchun was so shy and well-behaved that Daiyu, who was slightly disconvinced, forgot her displeasure all of a sudden, and followed suit with a blushing persuasion: "Sister Ying, please remember not to do needlework at night, for our My eyesight is very bad. The general embroidery work is not worthy of our hands. Since the girls are interested, just do a few slowly."

Daiyu is the first child that Jia Min and Lin Hai couples have been looking forward to for so many years. Even if a younger brother Lin Zhang is added later, she is not as good as she is spoiled by her parents and used to being noble. Does not like to be left behind.

Earlier, Jia Min suddenly said that Yingchun's female celebrity was much better than hers, but Dai Yuming saw that Yingchun's embroidery work was similar to her own, and she felt a little awkward for a while.When Jia Min finished speaking, Daiyu remembered that this cousin had never been cared for since she was a child, and she also understood the intention of her mother's words, so she couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and deliberately made up for it.

Seeing the change in Daiyu's expression, Jia Min felt very relieved.She has been teaching Daiyu with her husband since Daiyu was first literate. She hopes that her daughter will understand etiquette, be kind to others, and be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. She is often worried that her daughters will be too domineering by her pampering, unable to understand the hardships of others, and make enemies. Without knowing it.Seeing that Daiyu was in a peaceful state of mind and was able to give in now, she felt much more at ease, and smiled at Lin Hai who was sitting beside her, and she did not forget to make a joke.

"You are a lazy girl yourself, so you can't see the sisters working hard. Years ago, you said you would embroider a purse for your father, but now there is no trace of it. The pattern has been reversed a lot. Today I will do it tomorrow." If you do that, if your father counts on you, he will probably be laughed at by his colleagues for being out of shape."

For Lin Haiming's grievance, Jia Min glanced at Daiyu with a smile, ignored her pouting and sticking out her tongue, and said to Yingchun: "But your sister is right, just order the girl around for similar things." Let's do it, you are all young ladies from aristocratic families, gold and jade are precious, female celebrities are just for leisure and entertainment, just do it for those close to you, it is not worth spending a lot of effort. With our background, the most important thing is to read and understand, to distinguish right from wrong, This is the foundation of being a person and doing things in life.”

Not long after Yingchun was born, her aunt who gave birth to her died of illness, her stepmother ignored her, and her mother-in-law and maids didn't have much knowledge, so that when she was young, her speech and behavior when getting along with others were all carefully watching her face Gradually realized the tone, but was always scolded for not having the style of a young lady.Later, with the support and love of his elder brother Jia Lian, the situation improved, and Yingchun gradually corrected some of his cowardly problems, but Jia Lian, a big man, didn't know how to raise a girl, and he was away all year round, so he didn't talk carefully to Yingchun about how to behave in the world. reason.

Today, it is the first time for Yingchun to listen to the earnest teachings of her elders, not to show off her status, nor to insinuate, but simply to teach her the principles of life, she feels her heart is hot, she nodded with red eyes, looking amiable Poor again.

Seeing Yingchun like this, Jia Min cherished and felt sad.This is the niece of her direct relative, and she is well-behaved and demure. She naturally wants to be close and love her from the bottom of her heart, so she can't understand why Jia's mother refuses to show any kindness to her granddaughter.

At that time, the old Duke also had several concubine daughters, all of whom were raised under Jia Mu's knees. After reaching the age, they all picked out the children of the old generals under the old Duke's command and married them off.Jia Min had long remembered things at that time, and knew that although Jia's mother didn't like these concubine daughters in her heart, she couldn't find fault in her appearance, and she had all the teachings that a girl from a duke's mansion should have.But when it comes to the girls of the next generation, apart from Yuan Chun who is suffering in the mire now, the other two girls have no one to discipline and guide them.They are all granddaughters of direct relatives, is it better than having to be a concubine who crawled out of her own stomach?

No matter how much he tried to excuse Jia Mu, after Jia Min returned to Beijing, he had to admit that Xu's life was too smooth and proud, and there was no one to restrain him. Compared with when she was young, Jia Mu was less cautious and more conceited and stubborn. It's really a bit stupid to leave behind the self-examination words that I once taught my children and grandchildren.

Jia Min couldn't persuade the old mother who was getting more and more left-handed, so Jia Min could only love the younger generation more.Of the two nieces, Yingchun is the one who is more silent and amiable than Jia Min. Unlike Jia Lian, who is a man who can earn a living by himself, she will inevitably take care of her more.

After thinking about it, Jia Min hugged Yingchun a little tighter, looked up at Jia Lian and said, "Although I dare not say this as an aunt, you should be clear about your temper. It's not a good sentence, and you can't count on anything. The marriage of the girl is considered to be your favorite, and she can count on you in her natal family in the future. I think you should like the temperament and family style of the He family, so you can Will allow their family to come to ask for it, but have you talked to Ying girl carefully?"

As soon as the He family was mentioned, Jia Min felt that Yingchun in her arms twisted uncomfortably, as if she wanted to avoid it, she stroked her younger generation and said with a smile: "Silly boy, what are you hiding? It's you Sister, I also told her to listen. Marriage is a major event in life, and it is so solemn, how can you just avoid it blindly? If you go to your in-law's house without knowing anything, you will suffer. I am just telling you in vain Brother, I'm afraid that he is not careful and considerate as a man."

Seeing Yingchun nodding her head obediently, and Jia Min lovingly, she continued to say to Jia Lian seriously: "You men are careless and only look at the future outside, but when a woman gets married, the honor of the husband and wife is second, and the most important thing is to look at the family. The rules of the inner house, if you look bright on the outside and suffer on the inside, you will never be free for a lifetime. If you associate with the He family in the future, firstly, you have to look after your sister, and you can’t let that boy from the He family do anything wrong. Come on, you should also help to find out what the future sister-in-law's family likes, so that your sister can be prepared, so that she will not be deceived in the future."

These are the responsibilities of Mrs. Jiamu Xing and others, but everyone knows in their hearts that these two will never pay attention to these, and plan carefully for the Spring Festival.Jia Min wanted to pay attention to Yingchun, but she still seldom dealt with the He family, and it was difficult to inquire carefully, so she had to ask Jia Lian to ask him, the eldest brother, to take over the duties of her parents.

Jia Lian has always been quite guilty of Yingchun in his heart, he nodded immediately when he heard the words, and smiled gently at Yingchun who looked over nervously, and promised to go back and talk to Yingchun in detail.

Lin Hai had been drinking tea and listening, now seeing that Jia Min had finished giving orders, he put down the teacup and got up, ready to take the two brats for a horse race, so that the female relatives could talk about themselves.

Lin Zhang, who was holding the stamped stone material, was overjoyed, only then did he know that his family had delivered a pony to him at some point, and he was stunned for a moment before jumping three feet high with joy, ignoring Lin Hai's cold face and shouting excitedly With a sound.Once his wish for more than a year came true, Lin Zhang, who had never wanted anything so much since he could remember, didn't even care about Daiyu's bitter words, and ran out happily despite the laughter of the whole room. Turn around and urge Lin Hai and Jia Lian loudly.

Lin Zhang was so ecstatic that Lin Hai smiled softly as he walked behind, neither reprimanding nor obstructing, acting like a loving father, only when he came to the courtyard where Lin Zhang had just come out to practice martial arts, he looked at Jia Lian calmly for a moment.

Having been a teacher and student for many years, Jia Lian understood Lin Hai's meaning in a short while, and couldn't help coughing lightly to cover up the strangeness underneath.At that time, he volunteered to teach Cousin Lin how to ride a horse. He really wanted to teach this brat how to behave, and he had no good intentions at all.In order to deceive others, he even deliberately thought of a lot of serious reasons to make himself look good, so as not to deceive that eccentric little guy, but he didn't expect that his father, Uncle Lin, would be equally ruthless.

Silently flattening the smile on the corner of his mouth, Jia Lian recited the Buddha's name silently for Lin Zhang in his heart, and stood next to Lin Zhang with his usual expression. The waiters helped to tie the sleeves and tie the robe, and then carefully checked Lin Zhang's clothes and boots. socks, and ordered people to bring the horse.As for Lin Hai, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he sat comfortably under the umbrella prepared earlier in the morning, and the water for making tea was almost boiling right now.

Normally, Lin Zhang would have muttered something like "Daddy is being lazy again", but today his whole heart is on the apricot pony brought by the boy, his eyes are as bright as stars, let alone Lin Hai, he is very close Jia Lian is not on his mind either.

Jia Lian shook his head helplessly, but still dutifully told Lin Zhang how to control a horse word by word.No matter how eager Lin Zhang was, Jia Lian waited patiently for him to repeat clearly before helping him onto the horse with his own hands, leading him by the rein and walking slowly around the field, so that he could get familiar with the feeling of getting off the horse.

What Lin Zhang envied was the heroic appearance of a galloping man, so naturally he would not be satisfied with being led by someone for a slow walk, and after two laps, he began to act like a baby, clamoring for Jia Lian to take him for a run.Jia Lian had exactly this intention, and after taking Lin Zhang off the horse, he asked someone to lead another Mobei steed that Lin Hai was going out for a walk.

Lin Hai's mount was given by Yang Yuan when he entered Beijing, and it is a descendant of a horse king domesticated at the founding of the country. Xing couldn't help showing embarrassment.Jia Lian smiled lightly, first put Lin Zhang on the horse's back, and then put one hand on the saddle and kicked off the ground. During the ups and downs, he sat firmly behind Lin Zhang, raised his hand, and the horse neighed and rushed out.

While riding a pony for a walk, Lin Zhang still felt that the yard was huge, but he didn't expect that when the horse galloped around the yard, it only took a few breaths, and his blood was so excited that he hugged the saddle and refused to go down, shouting He asked Jia Lian to teach him how to ride a real horse.Jia Lian was in the middle of his heart, and after a few words of refusal, he changed his solemn expression, saying that if he wants to control the steed, he must first train his waist and abdomen strength, and he will suffer a lot.

Lin Zhang was in high spirits, and felt that he could bear any hardship. He pulled Jia Lian's sleeve and begged for a long while before Jia Lian let go, promised to take him on a horse first, and happily followed him to the wall, imitating in style. Jia Lian's movements opened up his posture.

Jia Lian has been fighting outside for many years. When he was running a silver mine in Ping'an Prefecture, it was normal for him to eat and sleep in the open. Now he is walking in the sun as casually as eating and drinking, and he doesn't feel a trace of fatigue on his body.But Lin Zhang was young and delicate, and his fingers would be distressed for a long time at home if his fingers were broken. Even if he stood in the shade Jia Lian had specially left for him, he felt his legs sore and unable to support him after a while.

Lin Zhang wanted to rest for a while, but he praised Haikou just now, patted his chest and said that he could hold on for at least a stick of incense, and Jia Lian on the other side looked relaxed, so he couldn't say what he said, so he could only bite His teeth were flattened, and his legs were shaking a little after another moment.

Jia Lian, who had been staring secretly, seemed to react suddenly, stood up straight and called out, and led Lin Zhang, who looked aggrieved, slowly to Lin Hai's side.

Lin Hai occupied the only chair in the courtyard, and he didn't seem to see the envy in Aiko's eyes at all. He smiled lovingly at Lin Zhang, and then only focused on talking to Jia Lian: "Do you still remember the monk who came together?" ? I heard that Mr. Zhao, who was sent to Jinling a month ago, was sent to prison, but turned around and disappeared.”

A monk with a scarlet head and a lame Taoist would not dare to forget Jia Lian even if they were turned into ashes.He clapped his hands and applauded when he received the news that Mr. Zhao had captured these two people. He didn't want to be escaped by them so soon.

In Jinling City, Xue Wangshi and Xue Pan, who had just sent away the powerful masters beside Zhao Fuyin, were far more anxious than Jia Lian who was thousands of miles away.
