[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Speaking of which, in terms of food and clothing, Jia's mother has never wronged Lin Daiyu.

That year, Mother Jia took Grandma Liu to visit the Grand View Garden and came to Lin Daiyu's place. When she talked about the furnishings in the house, she remembered that she asked someone to open the warehouse and chose excellent window screens for Lin Daiyu to paste the windows.

Over the years, whenever Mother Jia got any good fabrics that she thought were suitable for little girl Lin Daiyu, and the rest were stored in and out of the warehouse, she would keep some for Lin Daiyu to keep for herself.

In your free time, you can do needlework such as purse pillows, so you don’t have ready-made fabrics on hand.

Lin Daiyu has been sick more frequently in the past few years, and her health is not very good. She is always sick for several months in a year. When the seasons change, she has to stay in bed to recuperate. She is not in good health, and gradually becomes lazy Needlework, Jia Mu and others all know the reason for this, and no one blames her for it.

But even though she doesn't do needlework all the year round, Lin Daiyu was born with a pair of dexterous hands, so her needlework is not bad.

Lin Daiyu was choosing the fabric in her hand, and said casually, "What did you hear again?"

There were a lot of people in the Grand View Garden, and there were all kinds of news coming and going all day long. Lin Daiyu was recovering from illness and didn't go out much, so she really didn't know what news was out there.

Seeing Lin Daiyu sitting down, Zijuan hurriedly put the candle in her hand on the small table beside Lin Daiyu. She walked closer, sat down next to Lin Daiyu, and accompanied her to choose the fabrics, speaking leisurely. Talking about the news she heard.

"Don't worry, girl, I didn't inquire about this on purpose. I just overheard it in the garden two days ago."

Zijuan pursed her lips and said, "I heard that the old lady intends to betroth the third girl to Lin Houye as his wife."

Lin Daiyu paused her hands, and took a while to pick up the fabric she had chosen. Without raising her head, she said lightly, "Where did you hear this? Such things should not be spread in the garden. The old man The people on the wife's side are very tight-lipped, how could such news spread?"

"Miss, don't believe it," Zijuan said, "the old lady's people are tight-lipped. The madam's people are not bad at all. But the third girl was born by Aunt Zhao. A girl should know what kind of temper Aunt Zhao is, three Even if the girl's marriage is not up to her to decide, if it is settled, the master will not hide it from her."

"I heard this from the two maids serving Aunt Zhao. They said that although they haven't made up their minds yet, they have already seen Lin Houye's character. When the time comes, they will invite the second/grandma/grandmother to talk about it. If the Lin family agrees, it will be settled."

Lin Daiyu rubbed the cloth in her hands, took a deep breath, and suddenly smiled softly: "No wonder that year when I drew the flower lottery, Tanya got an apricot flower. There was also a saying on the flower lottery that you must win a son-in-law, so it should be here .”

Zijuan sighed: "Why is the girl still laughing?"

"I said this to the girl because I wanted her to make a plan early. If the matter of the third girl is over, and the third girl gets a son-in-law, what will the girl do?"

Lin Daiyu turned her eyes to Zicuckoo: "It's good, what are you worried about?"

Zijuan said in a low voice: "It's not a day or two for me to worry about the future of the girl. In the past, I said so many selfish things to the girl, and I'm not afraid to say more today."

"That year, I tried to test Baoyu for the girl on my own initiative. Although I found out that Baoyu treated the girl with sincerity, I was also moved by his inability to leave the girl for a moment, but I also knew in my heart that even if I could try Baoyu for the girl. So what about sincerity? Baoyu’s marriage, he can’t decide by himself, and neither can the girl. Judging from what the old lady has said over the years, she really hopes that the girl will be with Baoyu, but the wife has made it clear that she doesn’t think so.”

"At that time, I felt that Baoyu was the girl's good match. I persuaded the girl a lot, but the girl listened to her heart, but there was nothing she could do. The girl was in an embarrassing situation, and I gradually realized that the girl didn't put all her heart into it. In Baoyu's body, the girl read more books than I did, and she saw things more thoroughly than I did, so she must have already seen Baoyu's cowardice? But at that time, the girl and I both knew that there was no better choice."

Lin Daiyu didn't speak, but looked at Zijuan faintly, her eyes were a little red, but she was not sad, she was moved by Zijuan's sincerity in treating her.

Zijuan continued: "Fortunately, God has eyes, after all, I didn't let the girl continue to waste time in this mansion. I can see how well Lord Lin treats the girl. Compared with Baoyu, he is really called A good match for the girl. Although the girl didn't say it, but I know that the girl has been looking forward to someone who can take the girl out of the mansion to celebrate her birthday. Baoyu can't count on it. How can such a good marriage be handed over to others?"

"In the past two days, the garden has been calm on the surface, but the news has been spread in the dark. I think the third girl probably knows about it. Since the day Lin Houye came to visit the girl, there have been many people in the garden. Few people talk about him. Now that the news comes out, there will be more discussions in the garden."

"I don't need to say much about the Lin family, the girl knows about it. But after listening to it for a long time, not only is the family style of the Lin family well-organized, but also the little marquis of the Lin family is a rare good man. Among the princes, ministers and marquises nowadays Home, which one is not surrounded by three wives and four concubines? It is Baoyu. He has not yet married, and there is already an attacker in this house. Yes, in the future only the young lady/grandmother will pass through the door, and this Xiren will be the aunt. But this Marquis Lin is different. He has been served by his side since he was a child, and he grew up with the guards of the Lin family. When he was 16 years old Wannan joined the army, and in the past two or three years, he only cared about making meritorious service, and never had anything to do with women, and he didn't have any housemates around him."

"Let's talk about the other two young masters of the Lin family. The same is true. So far, old general Lin has only Mrs. Qiao by his side, and the two young masters are only served by the young lady. It has never been like this in our house. The master and the young master are surrounded by a bunch of concubines. Wai, such a good person, if the girl doesn't fight for it, others will do it."

"Speaking of which, when Lord Lin was studying with the Ninth Prince in the palace, he had some contact with Princess Yuanjia who was raised under Concubine Yu's lap. The three of them grew up together, but Lin Hou The Lord treats Princess Yuanjia no differently. From what I've heard, this Lord Lin Hou is the one who cares the most about girls even now. No other girl has ever seen him care so much. .”

There is no way to hide things in the Grand View Garden. As soon as Mother Jia wanted to tell Lin Jian about Tanchun's promise, there were people talking in the garden, discussing the right and wrong of the Lin family.Aunt Zhao was the most active, she tried different ways to inquire about Lin Jian's affairs clearly, and almost got rid of Lin Jian's past 19 years of life.

The more you dig in, the more Aunt Zhao is satisfied with this son-in-law.This matter has not yet been written off, but she has decided that she has always said that Tanchun is promising, even when she walks in the garden, she straightens her back.

Not to mention how other people are, this Zicuckoo is the first to feel uncomfortable with it.

It is obvious that Master Lin only cares about their girls in his heart, so why does it seem that he is very familiar with the third girl, Aunt Zhao?

Lin Daiyu chose the fabric, put the things aside, and went to count her remaining cages. When Zijuan said such a big cart, she slightly pursed her lips and only replied lightly.

"My relationship with the third brother has nothing to do with love, it's just for sincerity. What's more, he treats me so well to repay my father's kindness. Zijuan, don't think about it."

Zijuan sighed: "Is it because I am thinking about it, or is the girl's heart too crazy?"

"Ruolin Marquis only wants to repay the master's kindness, and the gifts of gold and silver can be exchanged at four o'clock and eight seasons. Why bother to come to see the girl with illness on such an autumn night? He is eager to send the girl back to Gusu, and is eager to replace the girl. Copying the imperial concubine's notes in order to make the girl happy, this is clearly Lin Houye's thought of Guan Ju, why does the girl turn a blind eye?"

"If the girl is really indifferent, how can she make an exception and not arrange for him to find materials to make medicine bags for him in the middle of the night? Miss Bao is so strict about rules, why don't you stay with Baoyu's bed and embroider his bellyband? Miss Bao is for her If the girl doesn't compete with Baoyu's golden and jade marriage, why bother to push her own happy marriage to the outside world?"

Zijuan looked at Lin Daiyu earnestly, hoping that Lin Daiyu would accept her words and bravely pursue her own happiness from then on.

As a result, she waited for half a day but did not see any reaction from Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu just went to clean the cage and ignored her, Zijuan became a little anxious, she gently grabbed Lin Daiyu's hand, and said anxiously: "Girl!"

Lin Daiyu was forced to stop, and then patted the back of Zijuan's hand with her uncaught right hand, and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, I heard what you said."

Zijuan wanted an answer, but Lin Daiyu didn't give it to her. Instead, she stuffed all the things she found into Zijuan's arms. Zijuan wanted to pick up the things, and the hand holding Lin Daiyu couldn't help letting go. up.

"These are all the items that Baoyu left with me. You take time to send them to Yihong Courtyard tomorrow. His things should not be kept with me. Tell Xi Ren again, if I have something with him, let Xi Ren Find it, and you bring it back. I also asked Xiren to find out the poems I wrote in the past and give them to me. Don’t leave them with Baoyu. If Xiren asks you, you still say that they are all big now. Now, it's time to avoid suspicion, and everyone will be upright in the future. In the future, you and Xueyan will guard my house. When Baoyu comes, even if you offend him, you can't let him wander around anymore. .”

Zijuan agreed to everything one by one, but she didn't leave after taking the things. She only looked at Lin Daiyu eagerly, and was still thinking about Lin Daiyu's heart.

Seeing how funny she was, Lin Daiyu reached out and tapped the tip of Zijuan's nose with her onion-like fingertips, then smiled softly and said: "The old lady wants to promise the girl to the third brother, not for the future of the girl, but for the sake of her future." Wang family."

"The Wang family has no girls of the right age. Sister Bao's status is not enough. She cannot marry the Hou's mansion, nor can she be the daughter-in-law of the general's mansion. The old lady thought of spying on the girl. The mansion is in the same spirit as the historian Xue's family and Wang's family. Didn’t you say that? The imperial court knew about the fact that the Wang family hired murderers to kill people. The third brother is now the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zi Juan. The Wang family was ill and went to the doctor in a hurry, so they thought of the method of marriage, but the third brother is so smart, how could he not guess the intention of the Wang family?"

"Don't worry, this marriage will never come true."

With Lin Daiyu's detailed and clear analysis, Zijuan suddenly understood.

She sighed in her heart, her girl is really smart, no wonder she is so anxious, but the girl is as steady as Mount Tai.
