[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Daiyu didn't hear Lin Jian's tone sour, but Zijuan, who had sent Qingwen back, happened to hear Lin Jian's words. She was moved immediately, and walked to the tray Qingwen brought, covered her head The veil was lifted, and the things Jia Baoyu sent instantly caught the eyes of several people.

But apart from the old veil that covered the thing, there was only a string of dark beads on the plate.

Zijuan followed Jiamu in the past, and she had seen many good things, but she felt blind at this moment, and couldn't recognize what kind of material the beads were made of: "Second master doesn't know what it means, but he sent such a bead here." , I don’t know what is the particularity? Besides, the beads are arranged like this, why is it necessary to cover them with a veil, and why use an old veil?”

Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu have been together since childhood, and they grew up together. In the past, Jia's mother cherished them, and they ate and lived together for several years. Jia Baoyu gave Lin Daiyu many things, many of which were rare and unusual. , is a string of dark colored beads that looks plain tonight, but has never been sent.

Lin Daiyu wanted to pick up the dark bead to see clearly, but before she touched the bead, Lin Jian took the bead in her hand one step ahead of her.

Lin Jian didn't look at the string of beads carefully, but just put the string of beads in his hand and played with them absent-mindedly for a while, then said with lowered eyes and a soft tone: "This is a string of wagtail incense. At the beginning of this year, the Holy Lord ordered Ouchi to make it. I bought twelve sticks of wagtail incense and gave them to the heads of the four county princes' mansions and the eight duke's mansions respectively."

"The holy majesty bestowed wagtail incense sticks, which means that he is a family with the four kings and eight princes, and it means closeness. The county prince's mansion received [-] incense beads, and the Guogong's mansion received [-] incense beads."

Lin Jian said lightly, his hands kept moving, and he didn't know what kind of ingenuity he used. The tightly bound beads immediately fell apart, and Lin Jian pulled out the elastic bead thread inside. /Come out, put the beads in the palm of your hand and show it to Lin Daiyu.

"There are eighteen fragrant beads in this string, which means that it was not obtained by the Rongguo Mansion. Besides, the beads obtained by the Rongguo Mansion should be in the hands of the girl's eldest uncle. If you want to come to Master Xi for such an imperial gift, you will not just give it to the second son. This is something obtained by the county prince's mansion, Kuang Sheng ordered people to engrave the names of each mansion in the incense beads, just look at where the beads come from."

Lin Jian twisted out one of the eighteen incense beads, turned the beads over on his fingertips, and then took the beads over to show Lin Daiyu under the lamp.

Lin Daiyu could see clearly that the word "Bei Jing" was engraved on the inner side of the fragrant bead.

——It was the water-soluble incense string bestowed by Emperor Chengsheng to King Beijing.

Lin Daiyu frowned for a moment, feeling mixed feelings in her heart, and even a little angry.

Why did Baoyu give her this?What does it mean that he gave her something that belonged to a man outside?

This thing is placed here with her, if someone finds it out, how can she know it?This is not only a foreigner's thing, but also a gift from the emperor, if one is not handled well, it will cause trouble to the upper body.

She knew that Baoyu had always been a bit stupid, and she had done many strange things like this since she was a child. She used to be young and didn't have to worry about these things, but now that she and Baoyu are grown up, if she is still so disregarding the past and the future, then this The mansion is really stumped.

Baoyu gave her this, just for his own pleasure, and thought she would be happy, then, has he ever thought about her situation?

Lin Jian saw that Lin Daiyu's expression was cloudy, so he put the fragrant pearls in his hand back on the tray, and beckoned Zijuan to come over and put the eighteen fragrant pearls back on as before. After that, he took a sip of tea slowly before looking at Lin Daiyu.

"Miss Lin, the person who brought the things just said that this thing is the second young master's new gadget, and he sent it for the girl to play/play with for fun. I didn't say anything else, and I don't want to speculate on the second young master's intentions. But There is something involved in this, I am afraid that the girl will suffer in the future if she does not know, so I think I should explain it to the girl."

Seeing Lin Jian's solemn expression, Lin Daiyu stopped her doubts and focused on looking at Lin Jian.

"This string of wagtail incense is engraved with the names of each prefecture, and it is an imperial gift given to the head of the family. It is not an exaggeration to regard it as a token of each prefecture. The king of Beijing County and the second son are close. It is something that everyone in the capital knows, and the girl must also know it. The two are very close, and the king of Beijing County gave them incense beads in private. If you want to report it, nothing will happen."

"It's just that the second son got this thing, not to mention that he kept it in private, but gave it to the girl. This move is really reckless. If the girl takes his things, it will be seen by others in the future, let alone This is a man's thing. Just talking about the origin of this incense string will put the girl in an embarrassing situation. The girl has not yet left the cabinet, but she has a token of the King of Beijing on her body. It will make people suspect that the girl has an affair with the Prince of Beijing, and that's why she gave and accepted in such a private way."

Lin Jian was very angry about Jia Baoyu sending the wagtail incense sticks to Lin Daiyu.

Regardless of Jia Baoyu's thoughts, Lin Jian felt that Jia Baoyu was both stupid and bad.

He himself despises Jia Baoyu, but because he knows that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu grew up together, and there is still some affection between the two of them, Lin Jian is unwilling to speak ill of Jia Baoyu in front of Lin Daiyu.

He cared about Lin Daiyu's body and knew that Lin Daiyu was weak, so he never mentioned the matter of writing the poem to Lin Daiyu, for fear that Lin Daiyu would be troubled by it and get sick. He wanted to solve it privately, but Jia Baoyu ended up It just so happens that such a moth has come up again.

Lin Jian knew that this time, it would be impossible not to remind Lin Daiyu.

He saw that Lin Daiyu was in good spirits, so he wanted to tell Lin Daiyu all the things behind it, so that she could be on guard, so she couldn't be tricked by a fool like Jia Baoyu, right?

He was angry, and spoke a little bluntly. He was afraid that Lin Daiyu would not be able to accept it, and he would regret it a little after he finished speaking, so he stared at Lin Daiyu very worriedly, carefully observing her expression and reaction.

The ethereal sound of the zither from Quicui Temple stopped at some point.The night wind outside the house blows into the house, bringing the cool breath of the autumn night. Listening to Lin Jian's words, Lin Daiyu felt her heart sink little by little, as cold as if the sky was covered with a layer of frost moon.

"Zicuckoo."

Lin Daiyu said coldly, "Go to Baoyu yourself and return this thing to him. You tell him that it belongs to a foreigner, and I don't want it."

Zijuan just finished wearing the fragrant beads, and when she heard this, she responded, picked up the tray and walked out, but she was stopped by Lin Jian after only two steps.

Lin Jian said softly, "You don't need to go. Let Qian Ying go with Miss Ping outside."

Lin Jian instructed Qian Ying, "You hand over the things to the Second Young Master yourself. You tell him that this is a gift from the Holy One. Since it was given to him by the King of Beijing County, you tell him to keep it safely, but don't take it any more. It came out. Giving something from the emperor to others is contemptuous of the Holy Majesty. If no one reports it, the procuratorate will ignore it. But I advise him not to be too presumptuous. After all, I am not blind as a right-handed censor. Tell him not to commit crimes in my hands .Otherwise, I will deal with it impartially."

Lin Jian was angry in his heart, so he just spoke very bluntly.

Lin Daiyu was so angry that her hands covered in her sleeves were trembling. She gritted her teeth tightly to stop the trembling of her body, but after hearing Lin Jian's words, Lin Jian sent Qian Ying to deal with the matter in an orderly manner. , Her cold heart felt a little warm again.

Obviously Lin Jian didn't look at her, and Lin Jian had a smirk on his face, but she felt very at ease seeing his icy cold appearance.

It's a good feeling that someone is sincerely protecting her and thinking of her everywhere.

Lin Jian rested for a moment, and was afraid that his ghastly appearance would frighten Lin Daiyu, so he calmed down and looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile once the coldness faded from his eyes.

He was afraid that Lin Daiyu would be troubled by this matter, so he wanted to comfort her, with him around, no one else would want to hurt her.But before Lin Jian could speak, he just raised his eyes and saw Lin Daiyu looking at him with warm eyes.

There was a warm and moist stream of light in her eyes, which was three points more beautiful than the moonlight, which made Lin Jian's heart beat a little faster.

Lin Jian's heart throbbed unceasingly. He stretched out his hand to caress his chest, took a light breath, and then said, "Because I was concerned about the girl's body, I didn't talk about it with the girl. I wanted to keep it a secret The girl dealt with it privately for the girl, but now it seems that she should let the girl know. However, I told the girl that I heard it, and I hope that the girl will not be too concerned, and don't need to worry about it. I have the right to know. Anything else, I will It can be solved for the girl. I just hope that the girl will be more careful and beware of those who should have been wary."

Looking at Lin Jian's expression, Lin Daiyu felt that what he was about to say was not a good thing, and felt that it might have something to do with Jia Baoyu.Under Lin Jian's instruction, she prepared herself mentally, and then nodded slightly at Lin Jian, indicating that he could speak.

Lin Jian was silent for a moment before saying: "The day I first came to Rongguo Mansion to visit the girl, I went to the second young master's banquet at night. At that time, all the friends and close friends of the second young master were present. The second young master took the girl's Take out the poems for everyone to appreciate."

Lin Jian told Lin Daiyu about the situation that day, and then said in a deep voice, "I have only been to the second son's banquet once. But according to what the second master said, it is not the first time he has done this. Although there was no Beijing that night, The king of the county is here, but in the past when they had banquets and gatherings, the second son must have brought out the girl's poems. The girl has outstanding talents, so it is not impossible for the king of Beijing to pay attention to her."

"I just had this guess. If the king of Beijing County gave the wagtail incense string to the second son with ulterior motives, or he directly asked the second son to pass the incense string to the girl, this makes people have to think a little more. From now on, girl, it is really inappropriate to get too close to the second young master."
