[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Jia Lian is now also a serious son and eight classics in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who has experienced Sizheng and Seven Grades, and his regular wife is Chiming's wife.But for a criminal woman like Wang Xifeng who violated the law, once the case is filed, she will be arrested and sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for investigation and punishment. How can a person like this be the head of the Jia family, and how can she be Jia Lian's wife? What about the wife?

If Jia Lian still wanted his future, he had to draw a line with Wang Xifeng.Furthermore, the imperial court would not allow Jia Lian to have such a wife to delay his future.

In a few days, the case will be made public. By that time, Wang Xifeng will not be able to take care of himself, so how can he stretch his hand so long to interfere with Lin Jian's marriage?

During the banquet just now, although Mother Jia placed a screen between the men's and women's seats, the distance between the two sides was not far away. The voice from the women's seat often came over, Lin Jian could hear it, and the others spoke in a soft and gentle voice. Only that Wang Xifeng was outstanding and had a good reputation. Just hearing her laughter, Lin Jian knew that this woman was someone who was unwilling to be buried in the world.

But beside Jia Lian, there is really no way to keep such a sharp-edged woman who is easy to do bad things. Lin Jian thought, he has already taken Jia Lian under his command, otherwise, he will take this opportunity to talk about the affairs of Jia's house?Even if he can't completely control it, it's not impossible to arrange the inner house according to his wishes.

Lin Jian was thinking all the way, his eyes flickering. He had heard that Ping'er was Wang Xifeng's personal maid, and when he remembered the relationship between Ping'er and Jia Lian, his scrutinizing eyes still fell on Ping'er from time to time.

Ping'er wholeheartedly led Lin Jian, but she also felt Lin Jian's gaze on her, but she was always cautious and did not dare to show the slightest strangeness.

"Master Hou, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is in front of you."

Turn around the Qinfang Pavilion, and cross the small bridge in front of the winding path, and you will see the Fengzhu protruding from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.As soon as Ping'er finished speaking, she felt Lin Jian's oppressive eyes move away from her body. Ping'er immediately relaxed, and then she realized that she was intimidated by Lin Jian's aura. On a windy autumn night, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Lin Jian brought Qian Ying here.

In front of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lin Jian glanced at Qian Ying, Qian Ying understood, and after Lin Jian entered, Qian Ying reached out to stop Ping'er.

"Miss Ping, please wait here." After Qian Ying said, she stood in front of the door and waited first.

Ping'er thought about it, but didn't insist on following in.There are Zijuan Xueyan and others in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Lin Jian is not alone with Lin Daiyu. Besides, I heard that the Lin family has a very strict family style. When nothing wrong will be done.

Entering the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, you have to walk through a winding path, and then turn around a rockery to reach the square courtyard.

Lin Jian suddenly felt a bright light in front of his eyes. The green grass in the square courtyard, the wind and bamboo beside the porch are secluded and green, coupled with the cool breeze and bright moon in this courtyard, it immediately clears away distracting thoughts and brings clarity to one's mind.

Seeing the tranquility in the courtyard, Lin Jian didn't immediately walk up to the porch to enter the house. Instead, he stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and took a breath quietly. , he felt that his heart was full of sweetness.

The crab feast just now was lively, silk and bamboo sounds good, crabs are delicious, and sweet-scented osmanthus wine is even more mellow, but Lin Jian felt that none of them could compare to everything in this courtyard.

For a moment, he thought that if he turned into something in this courtyard, even if it was a clump of grass, a lush bamboo, or even a bright moon in the sky, as long as he could accompany the fairy-like girl who lived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion , he is willing.

A little maid saw Lin Jian coming in, so she quickly opened the door curtain and went in to report to Zijuan.

When Lin Daiyu heard that Lin Jian was coming, she hurriedly brought Zijuan out to meet him.

Lin Jian was still surprised when he saw the curtain under the porch raised and Lin Daiyu coming out.

Didn't it mean that Lin Daiyu was still sick?Why is she still up?

Lin Jian subconsciously went up to her, wanting to let Lin Daiyu enter the room and not come out to blow the air, but when she got closer, she found that Lin Daiyu did have some sickness on her face, but her eyes were bright and her steps were brisk, she was not as seriously ill as she said earlier appearance.

Lin Jian's eyes fell on Lin Daiyu for a moment, and he saw that she was still a little weak after recovering from a serious illness. Her slender figure was even thinner than before. A belt of wisteria flowers was tied around her waist, making Lin Daiyu's slender waist even more slender, not enough to hold.

Lin Daiyu let Lin Jian into the room, and asked Zijuan to serve tea to Lin Jian. When they were seated, she heard that Lin Jian was here to visit her sick, so she smiled slightly: "Thank you, third brother, for your concern. My two friends I feel much better now.”

Seeing Lin Daiyu smiling, Lin Jian couldn't help being stunned.

Lin Daiyu's smile was brighter and sweeter than a lotus flower in full bloom in summer. Lin Jian couldn't help but think of the afternoon when he and Lin Daiyu sat quietly talking in the courtyard when they were in Gusu.

At that time, the atmosphere was gentle and calm, and there was a kind of peace and openness in the quiet years. Lin Daiyu had never laughed when she encountered a family change, but her expression was calm at that time. In Lin Jian's heart, it was already a beautiful memory that could not be erased.He did not expect that today, on this breezy and moonlit night, he could still see more beautiful scenery.

It was only when Zijuan brought the teacup to him that Lin Jian came back to his senses. He calmed down by drinking tea with his head down, and when he raised his eyes again, there was a faint smile on his lips: "Young lady feels better , why don't you go to the banquet?"

The crab feast held by Mother Jia was actually quite good, but without Lin Daiyu, Lin Jian felt that it was boring.Even if Lin Daiyu went, he couldn't see her, and he was happy.

Lin Daiyu said softly: "Third brother knows that I am not in good health, I can't eat that crab, and I can't drink too much wine. And I just recovered from a serious illness, so I can't go out to enjoy the wind. What's more... After returning from Gusu, I I haven't seen the old lady a few times, and I don't know how to face her because some things are inconvenient. I simply said that I was sick and couldn't go away."

To others, Lin Daiyu presumed that she was in poor health and could not move around, but to Lin Jian, she told the truth.

The fact that Jia Mu plotted the inheritance of the Lin family has always been a knot between her and Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu has decided to handle the family property by herself. If Mother Jia didn't talk about it face to face, she simply wouldn't go.

Lin Daiyu said it implicitly, Lin Jian knew it well, and didn't ask any more questions.

It was the first time Lin Jian came back to Lin Daiyu's residence.

While talking with Lin Daiyu, he secretly looked around the four rooms outside here with his peripheral vision.

The four rooms in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion are not partitioned, but each of them is hung with two layers of bamboo curtains, and the ancient shelves are placed in front, which can be regarded as separating the rooms.

The place where Lin Jian was sitting was a little far away from Lin Daiyu's bedroom, and he couldn't see anything clearly through two layers of bamboo curtains, but Lin Jian had a good nose, and when he moved his nostrils slightly, he could smell the faint cold fragrance coming from there.

The faint and cold fragrance smelled so good, Lin Jian couldn't help leaning forward slightly, wanting to smell more, but somehow a gust of wind passed by, and the smell dissipated.

The bamboo curtains of the other three big rooms were all rolled up, and Lin Jian could see the elegant and delicate layout inside.

It was a piano room and two study rooms.

There was a delicate fragrance burning in the piano room, and the cigarette smoke curled up. Lin Jian didn't pay attention to the fragrance, but saw that the picture of smoke and rain hanging on the wall was very beautiful.

Lin Daiyu's study room is full of several shelves of books, which are neatly arranged and wrapped in dark blue bookcases, which shows that the owner is a person who loves books very much.Lin Jian looked around and saw that there were still several books of poems on the desk, and there seemed to be newly written poems where the ink was still wet.

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, he couldn't help thinking of Jia Baoyu showing off Lin Daiyu's poems outside, and his heart sank slightly.

Seeing Lin Jian drinking tea, Lin Daiyu thought that she had just drank the medicine and the smell of the medicine was still in the room. She was afraid that Lin Jian would feel depressed, so she got up and went to open the window for Lin Jian, and ordered Zijuan to hang up the bamboo curtain by the door. , Let the autumn wind disperse the smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the house at night.

The frosty moonlight leaked into the room through the panes in front of the door, and an ethereal piano sound came from nowhere, interrupting Lin Jian's meditation.

Lin Daiyu stopped in front of the window and listened for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is Miaoyu from the Qacui Nunnery up ahead playing the piano. She is in a good mood tonight."

Lin Jian knew about Miaoyu, but he was not interested in the other women, he just felt that the sound of this zither was better than the previous silk and bamboo music.After Lin Daiyu sat down, he took out two half-finger-thick booklets from his sleeve and handed them to Lin Daiyu.

"I was afraid that the girl would be lonely during her illness, and that she would feel sad when she remembered the past, so I specially copied these two booklets to relieve her boredom."

"This is an old item in Concubine Yu's boudoir. Concubine Yu's father, like your father, was also a Jinshi. Concubine Yu loves to read and write. Concubine Yu reads a lot. These are Concubine Yu's reading miscellaneous notes. These two books are Concubine Yu's records of some wild and interesting essays, and wrote some of her own feelings, as well as some interesting sketches. I privately ask for nine The prince brought it and copied it for the girl to relieve her boredom."

"I know that Miss Lin also likes to read books. No matter whether scholars have the same opinions or not, reading them can always broaden their horizons and broaden their knowledge. It's just that it's inconvenient for the imperial concubine's old things to be passed on outside the palace, so I copied a copy myself. I hope the girl Don't hold them back, just accept them."

"In addition, I also searched for the girl some Xiaolin Guangji that are still eye-catching on the market, and brought them in together. The girl looks through them in her spare time. If she can make her smile, it is also their good fortune."

After all, these are copied from Concubine Yu's old things, Lin Jian is inconvenient for others to see, he came to the banquet tonight, although he was still wearing a strong suit, but he did not tie his sleeves on purpose, just to put these booklets in his sleeves and quietly bring them in as gifts Lin Daiyu.
