[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Princess Yuanjia has Lin Jian's heart in her heart, so she is naturally very concerned about Lin Jian's behavior. She is sensitive to Lin Jian's attitude towards Lin Daiyu.

Just as Princess Yuanjia's eyes were darting back and forth between Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu, wondering what Lin Jian was thinking in her heart, Lin Daiyu looked at her and smiled, and even made a gesture of invitation to her.

"Princess first."

Princess Yuanjia really wanted to know where the allusions in Lin Ruhai's article came from because Lin Ruhai had a good impression of Lin Daiyu, so she put aside her previous thoughts, took a deep breath, and walked back to Lin Jian first. In the study.

Returning to Lin Jian's study again, Princess Yuanjia was obviously in a complicated mood, but before she had time to think about it, she was attracted by Lin Daiyu explaining to her the source of the allusions in Lin Ruhai's article. In spirit, listen carefully to Lin Daiyu's eloquence.

Lin Jian didn't follow, he beckoned the boy who brought Lin Daiyu to come closer, and asked him, "Miss Lin and Mrs. Lin just returned home?"

Lin Jian had heard from Mrs. Qiao a long time ago that not only would she take Lin Daiyu to the suburbs to see flowers today, but after returning to the city, she would also take Lin Daiyu to Yanlai Building to sit and talk. Mrs. Qiao had made preparations early in the morning. Mrs. Qiao has almost inquired about business matters, so she just took this opportunity to talk to Lin Daiyu and give her some advice.

In the afternoon, Lin Jian looked at the Metropolitan Procuratorate and saw that the sky was gloomy and about to rain. He thought that Qiao Shi and Lin Daiyu had already returned home, but he returned, but Qiao Shi and Lin Daiyu did not.

He thought that it was raining so hard that they should still go out to take shelter from the rain, but he didn't think that the two of them would come back in the rain.

The servant replied that Madam and Miss Lin had been back for some time, and said that Mrs. Qiao was afraid of Lin Daiyu's illness, so Zhang Luo sent someone to send Lin Daiyu after she washed and changed her clothes. He also said that Mrs. Qiao was accompanying Lin Hong at this time.

Lin Jian nodded after hearing this, and waved his hand to let the boy go away.No wonder he just saw that there was no rain on Lin Daiyu's skirt, and the clothes were clean and fresh, so he had changed them after returning home.In this way, he can feel more at ease, otherwise, he is really afraid that Lin Daiyu will get sick from the cold.

Lin Jian stepped into the study room, and saw Princess Yuanjia and Lin Daiyu sitting opposite each other, both of them had a cup of hot tea in their hands, the tea smoke curled up, and the room was filled with the faint fragrance of tea, books, and ink.

Lin Daiyu was asked by Princess Yuanjia to explain Lin Ruhai's article, so she was probably the one talking and Princess Yuanjia was listening.Occasionally, Princess Yuanjia would ask her own questions, and Lin Daiyu answered them patiently and meticulously.

Lin Daiyu's voice was calm and pleasant. Seeing that they were chatting speculatively, Lin Jian never interrupted their conversation. When he entered the room, he walked lightly, walked to the desk and sat down, and found a book he was reading recently. Take the book of war in your hand and watch it.

It was said to be reading, but in fact he didn't really read much. He kept listening to the movement over there, and raised his eyes to look over there from time to time, but he was always looking at Lin Daiyu.

It was raining constantly outside the house, and the sound of the rain hitting the eaves and courtyard was not annoying at all, but he felt that it was not disturbing at all. This sound, coupled with Lin Daiyu's gentle voice like a breeze, made Lin Jian's eyes full of silence with joy.

It was a kind of enjoyment and happiness for him to sit quietly and listen to Lin Daiyu's words.

Princess Yuanjia was already full of things on her mind, and she could concentrate on listening to Lin Daiyu at first, but after Lin Jian came in, she became a little distracted.

Princess Yuanjia couldn't control herself. From time to time, she would sneak a peek at Lin Jian sitting there. She knew it was impolite, so she tried to restrain herself later, but every time she looked over, she would find that Lin Jian wasn't serious either. When reading, he will also look this way.

And every time he looked over, his gentle and smiling eyes would only fall on Lin Daiyu.Even though Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu didn't have a direct conversation after they met, Princess Yuanjia felt that there seemed to be an intangible connection between the two of them.

Looking at Lin Jian's slightly raised lips, how could this be the indifferent man who faced her just now?

They obviously didn't speak, but there seemed to be a silent tacit understanding that bound them.

Princess Yuanjia no longer looked at Lin Jian, she forced herself to listen carefully to Lin Daiyu's speech, but she was restless, Lin Daiyu said very much, and she could only listen to half or six, and the rest of her thoughts were all on Lin Jian .

She's not a fool either, and kidding herself obviously doesn't make any sense.Lin Jian's attitude towards Lin Daiyu was so obvious, what else could she not understand?

Princess Yuanjia was heartbroken at the thought, and gradually lost her mind.

"Master, people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion are here to pick up the princess."

Princess Yuanjia was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't even hear Qian Ying's words.It was Lin Jian who called her twice before Princess Yuanjia came back to her senses.

Lin Jian saw Princess Yuanjia's distraught appearance, but he didn't say anything, just said softly, "I'll send the princess out."

When Princess Yuanjia saw that he had calmed down again, she was in a heartache, so how could she let this person who had hurt her before and didn't have her in her heart send her out?

She insisted on refusing, and Lin Jian didn't force her, so he ordered Qian Ying to send Princess Yuan Jia there.

Lin Daiyu saluted Princess Yuanjia. Princess Yuanjia turned her eyes and took a deep look at her, then smiled slightly: "Miss Lin, today/your words made me suddenly enlightened. It's just that I was in a hurry today, and the conversation was not enjoyable enough. If there is fate next time Let’s get together, and I’ll have another chat with you.”

Lin Daiyu agreed, and Princess Yuanjia left without looking back.

The Ninth Prince's Mansion sent a car to pick it up, and Princess Yuanjia gave up her humble sedan chair and got into the carriage with her little maid.

The sedan chair was secretly hired by Princess Yuanjia from the street, and at this time, someone from the Ninth Prince's residence was there to dispose of it for her.

With no one around, Princess Yuanjia was silent for a while, and then said quietly: "I really envy that Miss Lin."

The servant girl was puzzled: "Why does His Highness envy her?"

Princess Yuanjia was silent for a moment, before saying: "I envy her at just the right time, neither too early nor too late."

Even if it was Lin Jian who rejected her, Princess Yuanjia remembered it in her heart.She remembers it, but she doesn't want to think about it too much, after all, it hurts more if she thinks about it one more time.But at this moment, when she thought of Lin Jian's words of rejecting her, she suddenly realized that this was what Lin Jian said.

She came early, but she didn't fall into Lin Jian's heart. Lin Daiyu had known Lin Jian for less than half a year, and he already looked at him differently. How could Princess Yuanjia not have any emotion in her heart?

She really understood what he said now.He had never met these many people before, but he didn't see her in his eyes. Now that he has seen a lot outside, and met someone he likes, this is the deep meaning of his so-called fate.

Princess Yuanjia couldn't help but smile wryly after thinking about it, the so-called love eye is really something that people can't help.

The servant girl couldn't bear to see Princess Yuanjia so sad, so she couldn't help persuading her in a low voice: "Your Highness always said that you have to come to ask for the result in person before you are willing to be reconciled. Now that you have the result, even if you don't like it, Your Highness won't be able to afford it." If you can't let go of your temper, why bother to let yourself be so unhappy?"

"Because of what His Highness has done today, His Highness will definitely punish His Highness when His Highness returns to the palace. But Your Highness knows in his heart that His Highness still loves His Highness in her heart. Whether it is His Highness Ninth or His Highness, they all hope that His Highness will be happy. .”

The little palace maid said, "Your Highness, you see, we came out in a hurry, the eunuch's clothes have long been stained by rain, Lord Lin Hou has no heart for you, we didn't even change our clothes in the Lin Mansion. But His Royal Highness sent a car to come Picking you up, even the clothes are prepared for you in the carriage, lest you catch the cold in wet clothes. Why should Your Highness be sad for someone who doesn't care about you?"

Princess Yuanjia lifted up the curtains of the car and looked outside. It was already dusk, the sky was getting darker, but the rain was getting less and less. Princess Yuanjia heard the sound of rain outside the car, but felt that the heavy rain in her heart was still falling. non-stop.

"I didn't listen to Brother Nine and Concubine Yu's words. They deserved to punish me. When I go back this time, no matter what the punishment is, I will take it myself. I sneaked out to see Brother Lin Jian, and I don't regret it."

"But I also don't want to hurt Brother Ninth and Concubine Yu's good intentions for me. I didn't understand before, why Brother Nine would tell me that things are right and wrong, that even if I see Brother Lin Jian It's useless, I just found out now that Brother Nine has a close relationship with him, and I probably already knew that Brother Lin Jian already has his own heart."

Princess Yuanjia lifted up the car curtain and put it down, "Don't worry, I told you before, this time it's not an example. I won't mess around anymore. You don't need to persuade me anymore, since Lin Jian My brother has no intentions, so naturally I won't pester him anymore, and I won't cause troubles to embarrass everyone. It is also a life experience to wake up from a big dream today and let it go later."

Princess Yuanjia was out of the palace, and this matter was always in her heart and it was difficult to let go. It was uncomfortable, but it was always hard to let go.

It was as if she was going out of the palace today, although she was heartbroken to be rejected personally, but she also felt very happy.Waking up from a big dream, the heavy rain will stop when it rains enough, she suddenly felt that Lin Jian's words were not wrong.

She didn't have to marry Lin Jian either.Life has been ups and downs for decades, she is still young, how can she know that she will not meet someone who is destined for her in the future?As Concubine Yu Gui once said to her, she is the princess of the Great Zhou, and now that the Great Zhou is strong, the princess in the harem does not have to bear the responsibility of making a marriage. The heart of a princess, open your heart and be a noble and favored princess.

As for Lin Daiyu.She was envious of Lin Jian's favor, but she wasn't jealous at all.

Everyone has everyone's life, she couldn't ask for it, it was not Lin Daiyu's fault.She will never anger others because of love and hatred.

Let's talk about Lin Jian.

Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu stood under the porch and watched Qian Ying send Princess Yuanjia away. The sky was dark, the night was shrouded in darkness, and the rain was hazy. No matter what they saw, they were a little blurry, so a boy came down to the porch to hang up a lantern.

Lin Jian was afraid that Lin Daiyu would stand under the porch for a long time and catch the wind, so he asked Zijuan to help Lin Daiyu into the house.

The candles had already been lit in the house, Lin Jian followed into the house and did not sit down, but stood next to Lin Daiyu watching the rain fall outside the window.

The two were silent for a while, but spoke at the same time.

"Miss Lin—"

"Third Brother——"

The voices of the two collided, and they both stopped subconsciously. Lin Daiyu smiled quietly: "Third Brother, let's talk first."

Lin Jian nodded, fixedly looking at Lin Daiyu who was sitting dignifiedly in the light and shadow of the lamp, and said: "Princess Yuanjia sneaked out of the palace today, and I didn't know it beforehand. The princess came here to ask me something, but I The answer is contrary to what the princess thinks. Although I have known Princess Yuanjia since I was a child, I have a different identity from the princess and have not had much contact with her. To me, this friendship is like a clear breeze and bright moon without impurities, and it is like a lake, mountains and rivers that are clear to the bottom. .”

Lin Jian didn't mean to be the first to speak.He was afraid that Lin Daiyu would misunderstand the relationship between him and Princess Yuanjia after seeing these events today, so he wanted to explain.

But these words can't be made too obvious, Lin Jian pondered back and forth before he figured out this implicit and mysterious explanation.

Lin Daiyu didn't avoid Lin Jian's gaze, she sat quietly, and after listening to Lin Jian's words, she only nodded slightly: "Yeah."

Lin Jian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, what does this mean?Did you understand or did you not understand?

This is what he said, according to what he thought, shouldn't Lin Daiyu take advantage of the situation and ask him what the princess asked him, and how did he answer it?

However, it was Lin Daiyu's possibility to end all the conversations by saying yes, and it was really hard for Lin Jian to force his way.

Lin Jian's surprise fell into Lin Daiyu's eyes, Lin Daiyu saw it, she slightly hooked her lips, but she didn't continue to talk to Lin Jian, instead she gently took out a delicate plain purse from her sleeve.

Lin Daiyu's dress today is a little different from before.

She is slender and thin, and she likes to wear slim long dresses with stand-up collars and small half-arm skirts.She has a frail body, the clothes on top are well-cut, and the skirts on the bottom are mostly pleated skirts or skirts with large skirts, which make her look like a blooming lotus flower, extremely beautiful.

Today/she is wearing a plain dark-striped cross-collar jacket, and a sky-blue satin veil skirt on the bottom/body.The upper jacket jacket is cut larger, not so slim, and with the pipa sleeves and the satin skirt with excellent drape, it makes Lin Daiyu appear tall and straight, with a delicate and lovely appearance.

She wore a jacket with pipa sleeves, just to put this plain purse next to her body, and then she came to look for Lin Jian in the West Garden, and she wanted to hand the things into Lin Jian's hands.This plain purse contains the medicine bag she personally sewed for Lin Jian.

"The last time I was in Rongguo Mansion, my third brother said that I couldn't sleep well at night, so I remembered these medicinal herbs. I used to have restless sleep at night, so I invited a doctor to prescribe the medicine, and said it was to make a medicinal pillow according to the prescription. It can be relieved. I brought the prescription, and the prescription has been given to my wife today. I made this medicine bag for the third brother, and the third brother can relieve it by wearing it."

"Just, third brother, please don't be offended. I'm not in good health now, and the needlework doesn't last long. I can't make a medicine pillow for third brother. I'm afraid I can't do it well, so I can only make a medicine bag for third brother." .”

In fact, in order not to let the people in Rongguo Mansion find out, she didn't even dare to ask Zijuan to go outside with the prescription to get Lin Jian's medicine, so she could only quietly dismantle her own. The unused medicine pillow took medicinal materials from it to make medicine bags for Lin Jian.

As for the fact that she was inconvenient to make Lin Jian a medical pillow due to etiquette, Lin Daiyu never mentioned it.

In fact, Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, and Lin Jian knew it all, but those were not important.

It was already a great surprise for him that she took the trouble to make medicine bags for him, so how could he blame her for not making medicine pillows?

Lin Jianzheng took the medicine bag that Lin Daiyu handed over, and thanked Lin Daiyu solemnly, and then said: "Your health is not good, the needle and thread hurt your eyes, so don't do anything in the future. If you hurt your body because of me, it is My sin is gone."

Lin Jian looked at the medicine bag in his hand with great care. This medicine bag was made of dark blue satin fabric with fine stitches, which showed that Lin Daiyu had put a lot of thought into it.The rhombus-shaped medicine bag that could be held in the palm of his hand was embroidered with an eagle flying high, with dark blue tassels on the bottom. It looked precious and majestic. Lin Jian couldn't put it down, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

He was reluctant to use his strength, and only held the medicine bag with both hands, looking at his precious and precious expression, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Lin Daiyu was also very happy to see that Lin Jian liked it.She saw that Lin Jian always wore dark-colored uniforms, and it was not appropriate to use light-colored fabrics for men's medicine bags, and the light-colored fabrics were not stain-resistant, so she deliberately chose this dark blue fabric that matched Lin Jian very well. The vermilion official uniform on Lin Jian's body has not been taken off, but matching such a bright color, this dark blue medicine bag is not inferior, on the contrary, it is quite beautiful.

"I chatted with my wife today, and my wife mentioned the old things of the third brother when he was young. I just found out that the third brother had a serious illness when he was young. He was in poor health for a while. Even though he recovered later, there were still some roots of the disease. My brother feels unwell now."

"Even though the third brother is young, he still needs to take care of himself while he is young. Otherwise, when he gets old, his body will suffer even more. I heard from my wife that the third brother has been very busy since he entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has suffered a lot. Staying up all night, but no matter how busy you are with business, third brother should also pay attention to your health. Business is important, but if third brother gets sick because of this, wouldn't it be you who suffers?"

Lin Daiyu is a chronically ill person, and chronically ill people know the pain of being tortured by illness.She was concerned about Lin Jian's body in her heart. Today, she chatted with Qiao Shi and learned a lot about Lin Jian's old affairs from Qiao Shi. Lin Daiyu had always been deeply concerned about Lin Jian's health. Now she came to persuade Lin Jian, The earnest concern is beyond words.

Lin Jian had a crush on Lin Daiyu, and he and Qiao Shi had already made it clear to each other.He wanted to say hello to Mrs. Qiao in advance, so that Mrs. Qiao would know his intentions, so that when Mrs. Qiao met Lin Daiyu in the future, she would do something or say something without knowing it and accidentally spoil his affairs.

But he didn't expect his mother to be so kind, not only to accommodate his thoughts, but also to get his words from Lin Daiyu, and even join hands to set up a game for him.It seems that his mother is going to help him.

He still smiled as indifferently as that night: "Girl, don't worry. The serious illness I had when I was a child has been cured long ago, and now it's just a headache and insomnia. It's nothing serious. I have to be valued by the Holy One. Political matters Don't dare to slack off, naturally you must do your best to repay the emperor's kindness. Some minor illnesses are nothing to worry about."

"What's more, now I have the medicine package given by the girl. I don't have to toss and turn because of headaches when I want to sleep in the middle of the night. The girl doesn't know, if I can sleep for an hour or two every day, I will be able to sleep well." Enough to make me overjoyed."

Lin Daiyu heard Lin Jian's words, not only did not let go of her heart, but became even more worried.

She was still waiting to persuade, but before she could say anything, she suddenly felt an unbearable itchiness in her throat, Dang even lightly covered her mouth and nose with her palm, turned her head away and suppressed a few coughs.

Lin Daiyu took a sip of hot tea, thinking she would be able to suppress the itchy throat, but unexpectedly failed, she covered her mouth and nose with her palm again, and this time, a series of suppressed coughs came out of her mouth, which made her Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Zijuan at the side hastily took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and then took out a small bottle of pills that she carried with her and gave her to eat.

Seeing that Zijuan was too busy, Lin Jian hurriedly got up and poured a cup of warm water for Lin Daiyu, and asked Lin Daiyu to take the pill and drink it.

Finally, when Lin Daiyu calmed down and stopped coughing, Lin Jian looked at her worriedly and said, "Young lady's body is not in good shape. You shouldn't go out in this weather. If it's windy today, your condition will get worse when you go back. , how can we feel good about it?"

Lin Daiyu stroked her chest lightly, she slowed down, and then said softly: "I'm fine."

"I'm always like this at this time of year. This is already an excellent situation. The third brother has seen what happened before. If I am bedridden, I really can't go out. It's just a slight cough at the moment, but if Always being bored in the garden is not good for my recovery, the doctor told me that if I feel better, I can still go out and walk around more.”

Seeing Lin Jian's worried face, Lin Daiyu felt that this was an excellent opportunity to persuade Lin Jian.She doesn't think it's a big deal if she puts this matter on herself, but if she compares her heart with her heart, maybe she can persuade Lin Jian to pay attention to taking care of her body?

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu took a sip of warm water, swallowed it, and said slowly: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I have been taking medicine since I was able to eat. No matter how many doctors I consulted, it was useless. There is always no cure for this disease. I have had it on my body for more than ten years, and the doctors said it was brought in the womb and it can’t be cured. My father had no choice but to take good care of me. Whenever I got sick, I would call a doctor for treatment. I don’t know how many pills I’ve taken.”

"When I was very young, my late father taught me how to take care of myself. He said that I was born weak. If I only take medicine and don't take care of myself, my body won't last long. I can't train my muscles and bones, so I listened to my late father. The most important thing is to keep the spleen and stomach healthy. As the saying goes, diseases come from the mouth, and I don’t touch anything that I shouldn’t eat. If so, this disease will happen several times a year.”

"Third brother, the feeling of being sick is not good. Third brother doesn't seem to be born with a deficiency. Why bother to spoil my body? Third brother doesn't talk about his own suffering, even if others listen to it, they will feel distressed."
