[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Summer afternoons are noisy.Cicadas chirped, the wind moved the lotus, and unknown grass insects hurriedly crawled under the lush and lush tree in the yard.Even standing in the yard and watching carefully, I can occasionally see dragonflies flying over the pond in the backyard.

The dragonfly flew far away and rested for a while on the lotus leaf in the water tank. When it got up agilely, it almost bumped into the person standing under the porch. The dragonfly flew away in a hurry, leaving a sound of flapping wings.

Summer afternoons are also peaceful.The rainwater on the bluestone slab was evaporated, but the rainwater in the shade of the trees in the grass still rolled down from the grass leaves from time to time.Occasionally, when the sound of cicadas stopped, the yard became quiet, and a gust of wind stopped, and it seemed that even the cotton-like porcelain white clouds in the sky did not move.

Lin Jian's serious and solemn words in the breeze made Lin Daiyu forget everything. She stared at Lin Jian's open and clear eyes, and the gentle and smiling eyes inside made her unable to take her eyes off.

Xia Jing is very beautiful, but it can't compare with the person in front of him.Xia Jing was intoxicating, but it couldn't compare to the shock that those words just now gave her.

Lin Daiyu knew that if Lin Jian hadn't treated her sincerely, he would never have said such a thing to her.

Lin Daiyu and Lin Jian looked at each other for a moment, then pursed their lips lightly, as if they had made up their minds, then slowly said: "I have received the great kindness of Lord Hou, and I often think about how to repay it, but what I have Master also has them, I really don't know how to repay Lord Hou, if I have to suffer this kindness for the rest of my life, I will feel very sorry."

"Although I am a girl in the boudoir, I also hope to do something for Lord Hou. If there is something I can do, I hope Lord Hou will speak up and don't be polite to me."

Lin Jian laughed when she heard the words: "Miss Lin, I protect you not because I want something in return. You don't have to take it to heart, and you really don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to do anything for me."

Lin Daiyu refused to listen to him and insisted on repaying Lin Jian for saving his life.

When Lin Jian went to Rongguo Mansion to visit her, one was for the friendship of the same clan, and the other was because Lin Ruhai and Lin Hong had saved their lives. Lin Jian treated her like this out of sincerity and to repay her kindness. How could she accept the favor of the Lin family in vain?

Courtesy reciprocity will last forever.

Lin Jian smiled, and didn't answer Lin Daiyu's words immediately, but waved for Qian Ying, who was guarding the courtyard, to come over, told him a few words, and waved him to go.

Lin Jian saw that Lin Daiyu liked to look at the lotus in the water tank in the yard, and saw the breeze blowing, and there was no sun under the porch. He was afraid that Lin Daiyu would feel tired after standing for a long time, so he asked Qian Ying to move a set of tables and chairs to sit there. Placement under the corridor.

Seeing this, Zicuckoo also went to make a pot of good tea and brought some fresh and refreshing snacks.

Lin Daiyu was indeed a little tired from standing. Seeing that Lin Jian asked her to sit down, she sat down too.

Lin Daiyu has been too sad these days and doesn't think about eating, and the daily meals she eats are half less than usual. At this time, seeing that the dim sum brought by Zijuan are all exquisite and lovely, she has an appetite just by looking at it, and can't help it Just wanted to try it.

Lin Daiyu swept her gaze, and saw that the crystal plates next to the snacks were filled with green and bright lotus seeds without shells.The green is very fresh and tender, it looks like it has just been peeled from the lotus pod.Lin Daiyu looked at the lotus seeds, so she couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

Zijuan laughed at the side and said: "These are lotus seeds that have just been peeled. I took some when I saw it was fresh. If the girl likes it, I peel it and give it to the girl to eat. It's just that the lotus seeds are cold in nature and they were just picked from the pond. Yes, the girl has to eat less."

Lin Daiyu hasn't eaten lotus seeds this summer, but she also misses the tender sweetness of lotus seeds and the slight bitterness of lotus heart. She doesn't want Zicuckoo to peel it for her. open.

Lin Jian wasn't hungry, so he didn't have a snack, he just poured a cup of hot tea and drank a few sips. Seeing Lin Daiyu peeling the lotus seeds with her tender and white nails like water onions, he was momentarily stunned.

Seeing the peeled white tender lotus seeds being put into Lin Daiyu's mouth, for a moment, Lin Jian really wished that he could become that lotus seed, be swallowed by such an extraordinary fairy, and be with her in a strange way. into one.

The gentle breeze blew up Lin Daiyu's broken hair. Lin Jian watched the lock of hair brush Lin Daiyu's cheek, brushed Lin Daiyu's ear/ear tip, and finally fell down again. His eyes moved slightly. For a moment, he I couldn't even hold back my hand that I wanted to reach out.

The lotus leaves were blown by the wind, sending out bursts of fragrance, and there was the sound of rustling leaves from the lush trees. At this moment, the tenderness and tranquility of summer were reflected on Lin Daiyu's cheeks and ears.

He wanted to touch Lin Daiyu's hair and feel the fragrance of her hair; he wanted to touch Lin Daiyu's cheek and feel her soft skin.

However, Lin Jian didn't do anything, he even restrained his urge to reach out and caress the strand of hair on Lin Daiyu's temple.

This kind of action was too intimate and too sudden, he was afraid that it would scare Lin Daiyu.What's more, he was reluctant to do so.

He spurned Jia Baoyu and couldn't understand Jia Lian's style of work. If he did this, how would it be different from their behavior?

Lin Jian just looked at Lin Daiyu tenderly and cherishingly, watching her sipping tea and eating snacks, watching her sitting there with a dignified and elegant posture, there was a little tenderness in his heart, and a faint restlessness.

"Miss Lin, there is still too much separation between you and me."

Lin Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, and paused when she was about to peel the lotus seeds: "What did Lord Hou say?"

Lin Jian said with a smile: "Miss Lin and I have known each other for a long time. It would be too natural to call me Lord Marquis. Why don't you call me third elder brother instead? I am the third in the family. Call me third brother, okay?"

"The life-saving kindness in the girl's heart is regretful, so let's use this third brother to repay it."

Since he met Lin Daiyu, that is, the first time he met in Rongguo Mansion, Lin Daiyu called him cousin, and then he always called him Lord Marquis.God knows how jealous he was when he heard Lin Daiyu call Jia Lian Lian's second brother. He always wanted to coax her to call him third brother, but he was always afraid of offending her, so he didn't say that.

Today's great opportunity is in front of him, he would be a fool if he didn't seize the opportunity.

Lin Daiyu ate more than a dozen lotus seeds, and Zijuan was afraid that she would be bad for her stomach if she ate too many lotus seeds, so she was not allowed to eat any more.

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, and after the fragrance of lotus seeds and the bitterness of lotus heart dissipated in her mouth, she looked at Lin Jian, her cherry/lips parted slightly, and called him: "Third Brother."

The breeze brought this voice to Lin Jian's ears, and Lin Jian felt that his heart was softer than the white clouds in the sky for an instant, so he agreed with a smile, and then asked Lin Daiyu: "Without Jia Lian's constraints, can the girl deal with Lingci's inheritance?" Is everything going well?"

Although there is no sun on the porch, the afternoon sun is still very hot, and it will still be hot after sitting for a long time.Qian Ying not only brought tables and chairs, but also brought ice cubes according to Lin Jian's instructions.

Lin Jian knew that Lin Daiyu was weak, so he put ice cubes on his side, and the breeze slowly blew through the porch. Because there were ice cubes on Lin Jian's side, the wind with residual heat became cooler, and Zijuan was there to fight for Lin Daiyu. Fan, from time to time a little cool breeze blows, but it is not too cold.With such an arrangement, Lin Daiyu will feel much more comfortable.

Seeing that fine beads of sweat no longer came out from the tip of Lin Daiyu's nose, Lin Jian knew that his method had worked.

In such a quiet afternoon, Lin Jian suddenly felt a little quiet and good, and with a gentle heart, he couldn't help caring about Lin Daiyu and talking to her about the family.

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu suddenly remembered that Lin Jian was more than just a life-saving favor to her?Lin Jian suppressed Jia Lian for her, and prevented Jia Lian from interfering with what her parents left her, obviously because she still had feelings for her.

Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and saw Lin Jian looking at her with a smile, she was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I have already discussed it with Aunt Sun. When we return to the capital, we will do it according to our method." .”

Lin Daiyu didn't hide it from Lin Jian, and told Lin Jian all about her plans.

Lin Jian listened with a smile, nodded and said: "The girl's method is straightforward and feasible. However, with such a large amount of money in hand, it is difficult to find a suitable job in a short time. If the girl can trust me, why don't I do it?" Find a way for the girl. When I have an idea, I will let the girl know."

"Thank you, third brother," Lin Daiyu nodded lightly in response, and then said again, "It's just that I can't bring all of such a large sum of money into the Rongguo Mansion. Aunt Sun lives in my ancestral house, and was taken care of by the Rongguo Mansion in the past, without anyone Dare to disturb each other. But in the future... please take care of the third brother."

Lin Jian smiled: "That's easy to say. In the future, your Lin family's business will be my business. Your house is covered by my Lin Jian, and no one dares to bully the girl!"

Lin Daiyu thanked Lin Jian again.

"It's useless to ask for property in Yangzhou's houses. Since the deeds and land deeds are all in the girl's hands, the girl can sell or rent whatever she wants," Lin Jian smiled and opened his mouth again. A few, "It's just that this is the ancestral home of the Lin family, the place where the Lin family originated in Gusu. It is of great significance to the Lin family. What is the girl's plan for the things here?"

Lin Jian's words reached Lin Daiyu's heart.

Yangzhou is just one of Lin Ru's overseas places, and Lin Daiyu will not live there for a long time. She has agreed with Aunt Sun that she will sell the house and property in Yangzhou after she returns to Yangzhou and joins Jia Lian after completing the affairs here.

But here in Gusu, Lin Daiyu is really in a dilemma.She couldn't stay and guard the ancestral house, and she was absolutely reluctant to sell it all.
