Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

As soon as he returned to Jia's mansion, Baoyu heard from the attackers that Daiyu was a bit lonely today.

Baoyu went to Daiyu's side to comfort her, and then returned to the room.

"Xi Ren, ask the women to prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."

No matter how elegant the Guiyan Tower is, it is Qing1lou1Chu1 Pavilion after all.Staying inside for an entire afternoon made Baoyu feel a little strange.

Taking off her underwear and stepping into the tub, Baoyu let out a soft breath.

"Xi Ren, Uncle Lin will come over tomorrow, you pack the things I brought back, and I will give it to Uncle Lin tomorrow."

Xiren said: "Don't worry, Second Master, I will definitely handle the matter properly."

Baoyu soaked for a while longer, and he didn't get out of the tub until the water temperature dropped slightly.

After drinking a cup of tea and sitting at the desk, Baoyu opened a volume of books, intending to relieve boredom.

Qingwen came over and asked, "Second Lord, the mung bean cake and red bean paste rolls made in this kitchen today are very good, would you like some?"

After taking a bath, Baoyu was feeling a little hungry, so he nodded, "Then serve it up."

Poor Prince Zhongshun couldn't eat anything at night, but Baoyu ate several pieces of snacks here.

On the second day, Lin Ruhai went to Jia's mansion as a guest, and after talking about the family life with Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, he was led to Jia's mother's courtyard.

Thinking about the unknown appearance of her daughter whom she hadn't seen for several years, Lin Ruhai was very excited.

Ever since Mother Jia heard that Lin Ruhai had passed the residence, she kept all the female relatives in the house.In Jia's mother's view, Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of the family who has been away for many years.Now that I came to the capital, I naturally wanted to get to know my relatives at home.

Daiyu kept staring at the gate, wishing that her father would come in immediately.

Seeing Daiyu's anxious look, Jia's mother couldn't help laughing, "Yu'er, don't worry. Your father is talking to your two uncles outside right now, and he will be here in a while."

As she was talking, she heard the servant girl say: "The Eldest Master and the Second Master brought Young Master Lin to greet the old lady."

Hearing this, Daiyu suddenly stood up.

As soon as Lin Ruhai stepped into the room, he saw that there were many female relatives in the room, so he wanted to leave.

Lin Fu's scholarly family is more particular about etiquette than Jia's family, which started with military exploits.

Seeing this, Jia's mother understood Lin Ruhai's scruples, and said with a smile, "Uncle Lin, you don't need to be too polite. Because you have been away for many years, many juniors in the house don't know uncle. Let them greet you today."

Lin Ruhai thinks about it too.He and his wife lived in Yangzhou for many years, and his wife died of illness in Yangzhou.I have never seen the juniors in Jia's mansion.

At the moment, he no longer shied away, stepped into the house, and saluted Jia's mother: "Son-in-law pays respects to the old lady."

Jia Mu wiped her tears and said, "Okay, okay, after so many years, I finally see you again." Jia Mu looked at Daiyu every day, but didn't pay much attention to it.Now when he suddenly sees Lin Ruhai, he can't help but recall his daughter Jia Min who died young, and can't help but shed tears.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but sigh.When he left Beijing that year, he was the emperor's confidant, and he held the important position of inspecting salt and censor.

Unexpectedly, after many years, the emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne.The wife who played harmoniously with him also stayed there forever.

"Seeing that the old lady is in good spirits, my son-in-law is also relieved. Madam has always missed you old man, and today my son-in-law finally sees you." Lin Ruhai sighed softly, his eyes slightly moist.

Mother Jia and Lin Ruhai recalled Jia Min for a while, and then asked after a while, "Uncle Lin is only going to Beijing to meet His Majesty this time, or will he stay in the capital for a long time?"

Lin Ruhai said: "Thanks to the emperor's grace, I was conferred the title of Hanlin Bachelor because of my illness."

"That's good. I heard that Hanlin scholars will join the cabinet in the future. My brother-in-law may become the prime minister at some point." Before Jia's mother could speak, Jia Zheng said happily.

He has worked hard for many years, but he is still a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Industry.Now that my brother-in-law is a Hanlin scholar, if he is not sure, he will be appointed as a marquis and minister. For him, this is a big help.

Jia's mother also knew something about the affairs of the imperial court, and she was very happy to hear that Lin Ruhai had become a scholar of the Imperial Academy.

"I'm too busy talking about these gossips. Come on, Daiyu, meet your father."

Ever since Lin Ruhai entered the door, Daiyu has been staring at her father intently.It's a pity that Dad needs to entertain the elders, so he can't talk to her.

Daiyu remembered her father's appearance back then, seeing that her father was still handsome, elegant and luxurious at this moment, the circles of her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She was most worried about her father's body. From now on, it seemed that her father looked good, and he seemed to be in good health.

When she heard that Lin Ruhai was staying in the capital, Daiyu endured it desperately, so she didn't cry out.

What she envied most on weekdays was when Shi Xiangyun got angry and said he wanted to go home.

Her home is far away in Yangzhou, how can she go back even if she is wronged?

It's all right now, Dad will stay in the capital forever.Whoever made her wronged in the future, she can go home.

Hearing that Mother Jia asked her to pay a visit to her father, Daiyu hurriedly stood up and saluted her father, "Daiyu pays her respects to her father."

As soon as Lin Ruhai entered the door, she saw her daughter, who was as beautiful and elegant as an orchid in an empty valley.It's just that due to etiquette, you must first meet Jia Mu.

Looking at Yu'er in front of him now, Lin Ruhai couldn't help crying.He helped Daiyu up, and said gratefully to Mother Jia: "Old lady, you have raised Yu'er very well."

Mother Jia wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sighed, "I only have one granddaughter, Yu'er. How can I not pamper her?"

Baoyu and Sanchun also went up to meet Lin Ruhai respectively.

Lin Ruhai pays special attention to Baoyu because of Jiamu's letter.

Seeing that although he is young, he has a certain amount of advance and retreat.Beautiful appearance, temperament like orchid, really extraordinary.

It's just that I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but Lin Ruhai always feels that this Jia Baoyu doesn't have any special feelings for his daughter.

Lin Ruhai is someone from here.At the age of thirteen or fourteen, it was the time when he knew Mu Shaoai, who had a crush on him.

But Jia Baoyu didn't treat her daughter in the slightest differently, he just treated her as a little sister.This is not normal.

Could it be that this guy despises his magnificent daughter?

Lin Ruhai has been in the officialdom for a long time and knows the details of human relationships.No matter what Jia Baoyu said or did, he treated Daiyu the same as Sanchun.Absolutely no admiration whatsoever.

This is strange, getting along day and night, childhood sweetheart.This failed to give birth to yearning, it can only be said that Jia Baoyu really has no heart for his daughter.

When Lin Ruhai saw Baoyu for the first time, he didn't have a good or bad impression.Just because of Jiamu's letter, I was a little surprised by his words and deeds.

In Lin Ruhai's heart, Jia Baoyu was not a good match for his daughter.Since he doesn't care about his daughter, and her daughter doesn't care about him, there's nothing wrong with them being only cousins.
