The eldest son of the concubine who crossed the red mansion

Chapter 21 Pearl Hairpin and Dai Yu Sheng

Lin Yuxuan is now fourteen, and according to ordinary people, it is time to discuss marriage.It's just that he himself is still in the filial piety period, and he doesn't want to start a family so early. What's more, in his heart, he must wait until later to get married, otherwise it would be a bit like killing a little girl, so every time Lin Ruhai talks about it, They were all fooled by him.

Now that Lin Ruhai has a title, he is not in a hurry to let Lin Yuxuan take the imperial examination.After all, it was the fourteenth prince that Lin Ruhai had offended before. If Lin Yuxuan really wanted to be born in an official career, he would have to wait until the dust settles on the heir to the throne.

"Master, the account book for this month's shop has arrived." Lin Hui handed the book to Lin Yuxuan, "You still have a brain, and you have earned a lot of money this month."

Lin Yuxuan smiled and remained silent.The Lin family is a scholarly family. Although they have a lot of family property, most of them are fertile land and Zhuangzi.When he told Lin Ruhai that he wanted to set up some shops outside, Lin Ruhai also disagreed. After all, scholars, farmers, businessmen and merchants were the last ones. Later, it was Lin Yuxuan who said that he would only be the general manager behind the scenes, and asked Lin Hui's father, Lin Xin, to come forward to manage it. Only then.

"The income of the silver house is quite a lot this month. You can ask the shopkeeper to give each master an extra half a month's money as an encouragement." Lin Yuxuan glanced at the amount in the account book and said with a smile.

"Okay. It's still my uncle's thoughtful thinking. This silver house can actually make more money than ordinary restaurants."

Lin Yuxuan's silver building is called Qiaozhizhai, and the items inside are specially made by masters from Hangzhou. Every piece of jewelry has the exquisiteness and uniqueness of Jiangnan, and the materials used are cooler than those in the capital.Shells, tourmalines, emeralds, and pearls are much more exquisite than gold and silver in Beijing.Moreover, each process is done separately, and each pattern is designed by Lin Yuxuan himself, so there are no imitators in the market, so it is naturally more popular.

"Daughters are pleasing to themselves, jewelry and clothes are their favorite, so how can they not make money?" Lin Yuxuan closed the account book, "Have you finished the drawing I drew last time?"

"It's already been made." Lin Hui took out a red sandalwood box, opened it, and saw a string of jadeite bracelets inside. The uniform-sized dark green jadeite was polished to a round shape, and the joints of the bracelets were delicately sealed with amethyst. There are also two opals on the hanging tassels, which is very chic.

"Well done, send it to the girl." Lin Yuxuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes."

"Also, go to the silver building to get twelve pearl hairpins and two plain hairpins. Miss Ming'er will take them with her when she goes to Jia's mansion." A few days ago, Jia's family posted a post asking Lin Daiyu to come to the mansion, and Lin Daiyu also came down. up.Lin Yuxuan recalled that Xue Baochai had already lived in Lixiangyuan, so there was no guarantee that there would be no palace flowers, so he might as well send out twelve flower hairpins himself, so the two can be compared.

"Yes."

Lin Daiyu asked Xueyan to follow behind with the box in her hand, and after she had done her own haircut, she stepped in to greet Jiamu.This time, she was the only one who came alone, so she had to be more cautious, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Lin family.

"Yu'er is here, hurry up and come to the old ancestor." Seeing Lin Daiyu walking in gracefully, Jia Mu hurriedly smiled and said, "You walked well that day, I'm afraid you haven't seen a few cousins ​​yet." .” Then he introduced Lin Daiyu one by one.The one who is a little silent is Jia Yingchun, the one who is looking forward to flying is Jia Tanchun, and the one who is still young is Jia Xichun.

"Aunt Xue's family also has a girl named Baochai, but I can't see her recently due to her old illness. I will introduce you when she recovers." Jia Mu called Jia Tanchun and asked her to take Lin Daiyu to the Bisha closet. "I won't keep you guys anymore, you little sisters can go and have fun."

The decoration in the green gauze cupboard was extremely gorgeous, Lin Daiyu looked at the pot of red coral decoration on the rosewood carved begonia shelf, and secretly sighed that her grandparents' home was really extremely rich.

"We didn't see each other when Sister Lin came last time, but we finally saw each other today. She really looks like a fairy like the old ancestor said." Seeing it, I'm afraid I will never forget it again."

"Second elder brother went to home school today, I'm afraid he won't be back for a while." Jia Xichun, who was young, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and told Ruhua behind him to peel the shells, "Besides, Sister Lin grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. , I heard that Jiangnan pays attention to the defense of men and women, so Sister Lin will not meet her second brother."

Lin Daiyu liked Jia Xichun's honest temper very much, and remembering the pearl hairpin her brother asked someone to bring, she signaled Xueyan to open the box in front of her, and said with a smile: "This is the pearl hairpin that my brother brought back from outside. , told me to bring some for my sisters, you guys like it." He took out a smaller box, "This is for my cousin."

The cousin in Lin Daiyu's words was Li Wan who is now a widow in the house. Jia Tanchun asked his maidservant to pick it up and sent it to Li Wan's yard, "Sister Lin really has a heart."

"Sister Lin has an older brother?" Jia Xichun thought of something else, "How is Brother Lin treating you?"

"My brother is very kind to me. My mother used to raise my little brother so she didn't care about me. It was my brother who took care of me more, and gave me books and gadgets. Now this string of bracelets in my hand He asked someone to do it on purpose." After speaking, he revealed the jadeite bracelet on his wrist.

"It's so beautiful!" Jia Xichun touched the emerald on it, "It can be seen how kind Cousin Lin is to Sister Lin!" After speaking, he thought of his useless brother in Ningguo Mansion, and felt angry and sad at the same time.

"Second elder brother treats us well on weekdays, don't ask second elder brother to listen." Jia Tanchun said with a smile.

Jia Yingchun raised her eyes and glanced at Jia Tanchun, with a faint guess in her heart.She looked at Lin Daiyu, smiled slightly and said, "Each of these pearl hairpins are so beautiful, but my eyes are dazzled." After that, she picked up a pear flower shape and a tea flower shape, "I I want these two."

Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun quickly turned their gazes back, and each picked their favorite.

"Of these six, two are for Lian's second sister-in-law, two are for Sister Bao, whom the old lady said, and two are for Sister Shijia." Lin Daiyu secretly sighed that her brother was really thoughtful, " It’s just that I haven’t seen that Sister Bao or Sister Shijia, so I have to ask you to send it for me.”

"Sister Lin ordered, we will naturally do it." Jia Tanchun asked Jia Yingchun to help her put on a rose hairpin made of tourmaline, "This thing is different from what we usually see."

Lin Daiyu knew that this was the shop run by her elder brother, but in order not to make it public, she still didn't plan to say it out, she just said: "I don't really know, I just heard that it was built by the newly opened silver building in the capital."

Daughters always have a natural love for jewelry, and Lin Daiyu and others are no exception.The four chatted happily, and suddenly walked into a woman with a woman's hair bun, holding a red lacquer tray in both hands.

Jia Tanchun quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Sister Zhou is here!"

The person who came was from Mrs. Wang's confidant Zhou Rui's family. She bowed to the girls before she smiled and said, "Ms. Caibao went to Rongxi Hall to greet the second wife. When she heard that the girl from the Lin family was here, she called her." I brought the palace flowers newly made by her shop this year and showed them to all the girls. These palace flowers are all for the nobles in the palace!" As he spoke, the corner of his eyes suddenly glanced at the open red sandalwood box on the table, and the corner of his mouth smiled Yi suffocated slightly, put the tray on the table and stopped talking.

"I'm sorry, sister Zhou." Jia Tanchun asked Lin Daiyu to choose first.

Lin Daiyu took a look and found that she didn't particularly like it, so she picked two palace flowers woven with silk and asked Xueyan to take them away.

Jia Xichun also has no nature.With pearls and jade in front, even the best palace flowers are useless, what's more, these palace flowers are very gorgeous, not as small and exquisite as the ones sent by Lin Daiyu.

After Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun made their choices, Zhou Rui's family said they would send them to Wang Xifeng.

Lin Daiyu turned her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "It's just right there. I also have a pearl hairpin here to send to Lian's second sister-in-law and Sister Bao. Sister Zhou just happens to help me on this trip."

Zhou Rui's family nodded with a stiff smile, and quickly retreated out with the pearl hairpin brought by Lin Daiyu.

"I'll trouble you to give these peonies to Sister Shijia." Lin Daiyu turned around and said with a smile.This elder sister Bao of the Xue family really understands etiquette, she insisted on paying her respects to the second wife when she was sick, but she forgot about the old lady.Lin Daiyu remembered what the nanny said when she came to Jia's house for the first time, that it was because the Xue family came that the people in Jia's family forgot about their Lin family, and she was very upset.

"Sister Lin, just put it here, the ancestor will send someone to pick up Sister Yun in two days, and I will bring it to her for you." Jia Tanchun picked up a piece of pastry, "It's not too early now Why don't you, why don't Sister Lin stay and eat, the ancestors won't like it either."

Lin Daiyu thought about her elder brother going out to inspect the shop today, and her father also invited friends from the same department to go out to meet, so she agreed.

Just when Lin Daiyu and Jia Jiasanchun were talking happily, Lin Yuxuan met a person he couldn't even imagine in his silver house——Xue Pan.This Xue Pan beat someone to death in Jinling because he robbed a woman from a good family. Although he escaped the death penalty, he couldn't stay any longer.

Lin Yuxuan is now at an age between a teenager and a young man, his facial features are gradually beginning to mature, but there is still a trace of femininity; his biological mother is beautiful, and his silhouette more or less follows his biological mother.Lin Yuxuan was wearing a moon white brocade robe today, and he had to wear a suet white jade pendant, it was very pretty.Just occasionally glanced out from the second floor of the Silver Building, and looked forward to the glory.

This one glance made Xue Pan fascinated, and quickly left the little beauty in his arms, and hurried up to the silver building.It's just that when he went to the silver building, he found that the young man had disappeared. He hated him so much that he vowed to search the entire capital until he found that good-looking man.
