[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

At this moment, apart from Jia Amnesty who sent Shui Rong out, Jia Mu, Mrs. Jia Zheng Wang and others were all guarding Jia Baoyu.After all, Jia Baoyu was beaten, and he was a treasure in everyone's eyes, and he must have nothing to do, so everyone was watching at Jia Baoyu's residence, and no one paid attention to Lin Jian's side.

The masters didn't care about it, and no one dared to care about the servants in the mansion.

When Lin Jian walked through the second gate with the guards of the Lin family, the servants and mother-in-law who had stopped him before stood by the road in a respectful manner with their hands down, and they did not dare to come forward to stop him anymore.

Jia Baoyu's beating made Jia's house even more chaotic, but when Lin Jian passed Qinfang Pavilion and walked to Xiaoxiang Hall, it was as if he had entered another world.

The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is very quiet here. The afternoon of late autumn is long, and the cold dew condenses on the grass on the roadside early. But in this silence, it seems that the time of Xiaoxiang Pavilion has stagnated, and it stays in deep sorrow together with its owner. among.

Lin Jian walked to the door and saw Qian Ying guarding the door with someone, and Ping'er and Li Shi guarding the side.

Lin Jian walked over and patted Qian Ying on the shoulder, and said hard work to Ping'er and Li Shi.

Lin Jian didn't ask anything, he didn't ask how Qian Ying settled all this, he didn't ask, Qian Ying didn't say much, just stepped out of the way, and invited Lin Jian in.

Lin Jian didn't say anything to Ping'er and Li Shi, and walked towards the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Li Shi wanted to follow in, and wanted to say something to Lin Jian, but she was stopped by the Lin family's guards, and Qian Ying blocked her. She is not allowed to follow in front of her.

Before Li Shi could speak, Ping'er quickly pulled her back and whispered a few words in her ear. Lin Jian took a look, and then left with Ping'er.

Lin Jian walked through the path to the courtyard, and Zijuan, who was guarding under the porch, saw Lin Jian at a glance and rushed to meet him.

"Master Hou, I came back and told the girl that you are here, so don't be angry or sad, you will definitely make decisions for the girl. Because the old lady and the others left later, the girl was guarded by Ping'er and Zhuda/grandma. But no one came to disturb the girl's quietness. The girl heard me say this and asked Xueyan to open the door, but the girl let Xueyan out and didn't ask me to go in. She just wanted to stay alone. I really have no choice, Hou Master, go in and persuade the girl."

Zijuan knew that Lin Daiyu had a heavy heart, especially after being provoked by Jia Baoyu, her heart disease was aroused, and she was afraid that her life would be set hastily like this, but she was a girl and had no right to make decisions in this matter , Lin Daiyu was so worried but powerless, she couldn't imagine the torment in her heart.

Lin Jian nodded to show that he understood, Zijuan opened the door curtain for him, Lin Jian stepped in, Zijuan and Xueyan didn't follow.

After Lin Jian went in, he didn't go inside immediately. He had just been exposed to the rain, and his clothes were dry, but the hem of his clothes was still a little wet.Although the rain stopped outside, the ground was wet all the way, and the soles of the shoes were inevitably stained with mud and rain.

Lin Daiyu's house was clean and tidy. Lin Jian was afraid that the mud on the soles of his shoes would make Lin Daiyu's house dirty, so he took out his clean handkerchief, stood by the door, and carefully wiped off the mud on the shoes, and then wiped off the mud by himself. He opened the door curtain, asked Qian Ying to come over and take his handkerchief to tidy up, and waited for the soles of the shoes to dry a little before he went into the house.

Zijuan ordered Xueyan to accompany Lin Daiyu, and ran out to rescue the soldiers by herself. The doors and windows of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion were closed tightly, and people outside could not come in even if they knocked on the door vigorously.

But in such a situation, even with Xueyan accompanying her, even though Lin Daiyu knew that no one could come in if she didn't open the door, Lin Daiyu was still flustered and at a loss.

She was actually terrified, but also angry.Listening to Jia Baoyu knocking on the door outside, Lin Daiyu was so angry that her body was trembling, she could hear the sound of teeth chattering when her teeth were clenched/clenching, but the tears couldn't stop flowing/flowing down.

Later, when Jia Mu and others arrived, her condition became more serious.Even if Mrs. Jia Muwang didn't take care of her and they took Jia Baoyu away, Lin Daiyu couldn't calm down for a long time.

Zijuan came back with Qian Ying and other guards from the Lin family, and Ping'er and Mrs. Li guarded outside the courtyard together, and the courtyard of Xiaoxiang Pavilion was considered quiet.

It was also at this time that when Lin Daiyu heard that Lin Jian had come to Jia's mansion, the anxiety in her heart seemed to be soothed by the invisible hand.She gradually calmed down, she knew that Lin Jian would protect her.

Lin Daiyu stood by the window, and the skylight fell on her body, outlining a thin and slender figure.Lin Jian walked over and stood beside her by the window. Lin Jian called her Miss Lin.

As soon as these three words fell into her ears, Lin Daiyu, who had calmed down and stopped crying, suddenly had red eyes, and a line of clear tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and fell gently on her skirt.

Lin Jian turned his eyes and saw that her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her eyes were filled with distress.

"Miss Lin, I talked to the old lady in the house, and your marriage with Jia Baoyu has been cancelled. In the future, she will not interfere with your marriage at will, nor will she interfere with your sale of the shop and Zhuangzi. You can decide on your own, and she won't force you any more."

In order to comfort Lin Daiyu's heart, Lin Jian first told Lin Daiyu the result of his negotiations with Jia Mu, and then said softly, "I know, your father wrote a letter to the old lady in the house before leaving. I entrusted you to her." , and even stated that you will be in charge of the old lady for the rest of your life. You can be called filial piety if you have not changed from your father's way for three years. With your father's entrustment, it will be very difficult for you to leave Jia's house, and it will be very difficult for you to move out."

"If I take you to live in our house, or let you go back to the Lin family's old house, it will damage your reputation. Therefore, I made an agreement with her that she will not interfere with your marriage. On the surface, she still Your elder, your grandmother, is still in charge of your marriage, but you can rest assured that you have absolute autonomy, and if you are not willing, no one will force you to accept it."

What worries Lin Daiyu the most is that she can't control her own life. Lin Jian's words made a big rock in her heart finally fall to the ground.

Lin Daiyu thanked Lin Jian with tears in her eyes, and then asked him with tears in her eyes, "Third brother, what have you done?"

After living in Jia's house for several years, Lin Daiyu knew that Jia's mother was not so easy to compromise.It's just a discussion, Jia's mother will not let go.If Lin Jian used power to overwhelm others, he might be bitten back by Mother Jia.

Lin Daiyu was also genuinely curious, not knowing what Lin Jian had done to fight for her to such an extent that Jiamu had regressed so much.

Lin Jian raised his eyebrows, paused and said, "I caught Jia Zheng with the wagtail incense stick, and ordered my men to beat Jia Baoyu up. Then I talked to the old lady alone. Except for the wagtail incense I even showed her the Jia pardon file that the Metropolitan Procuratorate hadn't finished. I advised her to think about the future of the Jia family, but she didn't dare to force you anymore, and obeyed my words honestly."

Lin Jian didn't intend to hide it from Lin Daiyu, so he briefly told Lin Daiyu about the matter.

Lin Daiyu was worried after hearing this: "Third brother threatened them in private for me. If this matter gets to the ears of the Holy One, will the Holy One blame the third brother for using his power for personal gain? The file that has not yet been filed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and has not yet been published by the Metropolitan Procuratorate is just shown to the old lady." Look, if it spreads in the future and affects the government, it will be my fault."

Lin Jian saw that Lin Daiyu was indifferent to Jia Baoyu's beating, but was very worried about his safety. He felt relieved, and slightly curled the corners of his lips, before he smiled and said, "When will you see your third brother? I'm not sure what to do." Is it? The old lady in the house knows that the matter is of great importance, she is thinking of her son, and she never dares to spread it to the outside world."

"Besides, the Holy Majesty has given me his own will. Miss Lin, you don't have to worry."

Lin Jian knew that Lin Daiyu had been greatly frightened this time. Although the matter had settled, Lin Daiyu's mood must not have completely calmed down.

Lin Jian cared about her mood, not only comforted her patiently and softly, but also told Lin Daiyu that he also arranged a layer of guarantee for her future life in Jia's mansion.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't cry anymore, he lowered his eyebrows slightly, looked at the people beside him and said softly: "Even if they are afraid and dare not bully you anymore, I am really worried that you will still live here in the future. I The guards around me are all men, so it is really inconvenient to put them by your side to protect you. I sent someone to send a message back to the mansion, asking my mother to find two unmarried girls who have been trained/taught and sent to you to protect you."

In fact, not all the guards of the Lin family were men. The orphans of the soldiers who died on the battlefield naturally also had girls.The Lin family adopted them, and they were like those boys when they were young, letting the girls study and practice martial arts, and let them choose their future voluntarily when they grow up.

If you are willing to marry someone, the Lin family will send a dowry to let the girl get married in a serious manner.If there are girls who are willing to stay in the Lin family, Qiao will also find a job for the girls to live on their own.

"There are girls about your age who are very talented and unmarried. If they are willing to come over, I will send someone to you to protect you. My second sister-in-law doesn't know martial arts either. She is also a young lady from a scholarly family. , My mother also put someone beside her to protect her. It is the same as the guards around me."

"The members of my Lin family are not under the control of Jia's mansion. The people of Jia's mansion have no right to suppress them. They will only obey you. These two girls are sent here. In the future, you don't need to use people from Jia's mansion to send messages to welcome them. I will ask my family to send the servants and guards over to listen to your orders outside the second gate and the main gate. Except for living here, you will not be in charge of this mansion for any future dealings with us. That's it. As a result, there will be no more incidents that cannot be reported in the previous news."

"The members of my Lin family receive my family's monthly bills of money. It has nothing to do with Jia's business. They have nothing to say. So, you don't have to worry."

With a female guard who knows kung fu guarding Lin Daiyu's side, even if Jia Baoyu came to pester her again, Lin Daiyu would not be forced/forced to such a mess today.

Lin Daiyu didn't cry anymore, but hearing that Lin Jian had carefully arranged everything for her, she was very moved. Looking at Lin Jian's eyebrows and eyes through the skylight coming in through the window, those beautiful Ruifeng eyes were full of tenderness and pain. A look of pity.

She couldn't help but think of what Qian Ying had just said in front of the courtyard when she came here. Qian Ying followed Lin Jian's order to drive people out and drove Li Wan out, and her noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet.

She let Xueyan go out, and stood alone in front of the window, Zijuan stood under the porch, and told her through the window pane when Lin Jian came. She didn't know what happened outside at that time, but the people in the garden Because of Lin Jian's yelling and messing around outside, she could vaguely hear some things.

He was right, he was a man who was unscrupulous, a man who dared to beat the prince because of his temper, how could he be afraid of mere Rongguo Mansion?

But all these things he did were for her.

Lin Daiyu's heart was sore, and her heart was even more sour. She pursed her lips lightly, but finally she couldn't hold back, tears welled up in her eyes, and she shed tears again.

When her parents were alive, she thought it was good for her parents to treat her; when she came to Jia's mansion, she thought it was good for Mrs. Wang Xifeng and others to treat her.

But no one has ever been so kind to her, so good that when she thinks of what he has done for herself since she met this man, her heart burns and she wants to cry.

She used to feel that Lin Jian was like a ray of light, slowly illuminating her life.Now, this beam of light seemed to illuminate her entire heart.

Lin Daiyu burst into tears without warning, which made Lin Jian stunned: "Miss Lin, it's fine, why are you crying again? Did I say something wrong?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head, saying no.But she didn't say why, which made Lin Jian a little anxious.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Lin Daiyu's body through the window pane, Lin Daiyu's front was wet with tears, Lin Jian lowered his eyes, and suddenly saw that Lin Daiyu's skirt was covered with mud and water.

She is wearing a knee-length jacket with a slanted collar and a light blue pleated skirt. She is standing in front of the window. Her upper body can be clearly seen in the sky, while her lower body is covered in shadows. Covered by a jacket, Lin Jian was only focused on talking to her but didn't see her.

Seeing it now, he remembered what Zi Juan had told him, that Lin Daiyu was coerced by Jia Baoyu when she went to Li Wan's place, and then Jia Baoyu drove her to interrogate her again after returning to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the rain. Things happened suddenly and one after another, Lin Daiyu was so restless that she didn't bother to change clothes at all.

The rain stopped later. Lin Daiyu must have been caught in the rain when she came back in a hurry. She has always been in poor health, and she must be sick after wearing wet clothes for so long.

Lin Jian didn't bother to ask Lin Daiyu why she was crying again, so he immediately went to find Zijuan to come in, first serve Lin Daiyu to change her clothes to be serious, and talk about the rest later.

But Lin Daiyu didn't let him go, he just moved a bit and before he could turn around, Lin Daiyu grabbed his sleeve and looked over with tears in his misty eyes.

"I have been in poor health since I was a child, and many famous doctors were unable to cure me. Later, a monk with a skinny head came, and he told my parents that if I want to recover from this illness, I must never see outsiders, unless I never cry , the disease will be cured. This is strange, my parents ignored him, and then the matter was left alone, and no one mentioned it again."

"Baoyu just said that my marriage with him was decided by the old lady, and I didn't want to pay attention to him. But he chased him to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, knocked on the door hard outside, and forced me to answer why he should be alienated and why he should be ignored. He said , He went to see Qingwen, and Qingwen told him holding her breath, saying that when she came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion that night, she saw you gave me some books and went to see her, but I hid the books on purpose so as not to call Qing Wen saw it."

"He heard this from Qingwen, and he endured it for a long time. When he saw me today, he came to ask me, what book you gave me, and asked me to show him."

Lin Daiyu burst into tears, and she recalled what Jia Baoyu had asked her just now despite the presence of everyone.At Li Wan's place, when Jia Baoyu stopped her from letting her go, he also said a lot of stupid things to force her.

She used to think that Jia Baoyu was the closest person to her, but those words made her feel wronged and sad.When Lin Jian said pitifully and tenderly that she was going to find Zijuan to come in and change her clothes, she couldn't help but tugged at his sleeve and told him these words.

Lin Jian looked at Lin Daiyu who was weeping silently, and sighed in his heart, he comforted her softly, seeing Lin Daiyu bursting into tears, the tears could not be stopped no matter what.

After all, he still sighed, stretched out his hand and gently wiped her tears with warm fingertips.He didn't touch her face either, but just brushed the corners of Lin Daiyu's eyes with his fingertips, gently wiping away the tears that burst out of her eyes.

Just now he took a clean handkerchief to polish his shoes, and when he handed the handkerchief to Qian Ying to deal with, he asked Qian Ying to find clean water to wash his hands. There is no clean handkerchief available, so he can only leave it like this up.

But who would have thought that once he wiped away the tears, Lin Daiyu couldn't hold back the tears, and the more he wiped away the tears, the more Lin Daiyu cried.

Lin Jian frowned, looked at Lin Daiyu silently for a moment, then took two steps forward suddenly, after shortening the distance between him and Lin Daiyu, he stretched his hand around Lin Daiyu's thin shoulders, and put his hand on Lin Daiyu's neck, With a little effort, she took her head into his arms.

The hot tears soaked/wet his clothes, and he felt the hot tears soaking into his clothes and falling on his chest. He looked down at the person obediently leaning on his chest, and said in a deep voice: "I won't let you cry Yes. Never."

Lin Jian's big hand with well-defined knuckles was pressing on Lin Daiyu's neck, but it did not directly touch Lin Daiyu's skin. Lin Daiyu's hair was scattered behind her back. Lin Jian's hand pressed Lin Daiyu's hair, and he didn't even have time to feel her black hair It's smooth, but I can feel the wetness left by the rain on the hair in one hand.

Lin Jian gently stroked the back of Lin Daiyu's head, and with a little strength in his hand, he felt that Lin Daiyu had calmed down a little, so he said again in a deep voice, "Stop crying for him. He's not worth it."

Lin Daiyu cried until her eyes hurt, and she didn't want to cry, but she couldn't bear the grievance in her heart.

When Lin Jian pressed her into her arms, Lin Daiyu's forehead was pressed against Lin Jian's chest. She heard his steady and powerful heartbeat, and felt his care and gentleness, his dominance and protection.

After hearing his two words, the grievance and resentment in her heart were gradually healed, and she slowly stopped crying.

The last time when Lin Jian occasionally wiped her tears with a veil, she could smell the pleasant smell on the veil. Now that it was pressed against his chest, Lin Daiyu could smell the smell of his clothes on her breath.

Lin Jian's clothes had a faint scent of saponins, and his breath was as fresh and pleasant as the clumps of wind bamboo in her yard, and it was reassuring to smell.

Lin Daiyu could faintly smell the faint and long-lasting medicinal fragrance from his body.That was the aroma she made for Lin Jian's medicine bag.The fragrance of the medicine burst into her heart, and Lin Daiyu's mood gradually calmed down under the fragrance of the medicine.

At an unknown time, Lin Daiyu's hand quietly grabbed the hem of Lin Jian's waist.

Lin Jian was dressed in strong clothes, and the clothes were cut close to the body. Lin Daiyu's hand grabbed onto it. Although the strength was very light, Lin Jian still felt it keenly.

To be honest, Lin Jian really didn't want to let Lin Daiyu go, but he thought that Lin Daiyu was still wearing wet clothes, so he let go of her right hand after she calmed down.

He took the initiative to take two steps back, looked down at Lin Daiyu's eyes, and seeing that Lin Daiyu really stopped crying, he said softly: "It's not good for a girl to wear wet clothes. Be careful and get sick tomorrow. I'll let Zijuan come in to change the girl's clothes. Ladies, wash up."

Lin Daiyu looked at the wrinkle on Lin Jian's waist, and at the piece of clothes in front of Lin Jian's skirt that made her cry, she slightly pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

The sun had already set, and there was only a little afterglow hanging in the distant sky. The sky was getting dark, and the room was a bit dim before the lights were turned on, but Lin Daiyu felt that Lin Jian's eyes were extraordinarily bright. He looked at herself intently, making Lin Daiyu's heart Couldn't help throbbing.

Lin Daiyu stretched out her hand to press her chest, and nodded her head in agreement.

Lin Jian went out and asked Zijuan to come in and help Lin Daiyu change her clothes. He also specially asked Zijuan to apply medicine to her eyes after changing Lin Daiyu's clothes.She cried so much, and cried so much, if she didn't take the medicine today, she might be so swollen that her eyes would be blocked and she wouldn't be able to see anyone tomorrow.

Lin Jian left Xiao Chen and Qian Ying behind, and told the rest to go back.

"It's all right here now, you all go back. It will save a lot of people, but it will make the people in this mansion feel uneasy. Go back and tell Mrs. Lin that Miss Lin is all right, so they don't have to worry. I have to go to court tomorrow, just I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the mansion until after noon, if the master and wife ask about the situation here, you can just say it, if you want to ask me, you can ask me after I go back."

Qian Ying asked Lin Jian: "Young master, do you mean that you won't go back home tonight?"

"Yes, I won't go back," Lin Jian looked up at the sky, and said softly, "I'm not worried about this place, I'm going to stay here overnight. When the family sends people here, I'll go directly to court when the time comes tomorrow. Not going back."

However, Qian Ying felt that something was wrong: "Master, this is an inner house, you rest here, if it spreads, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate."

Qian Ying was worried that this would have a bad influence on Lin Daiyu.

Lin Jian saw through his thoughts at a glance, raised his eyebrows and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. I didn't say I'd stay indoors. I'm going to watch the night here. Just move a chair and sit by the door. This mansion The thing that forced/forced Ms. Lin just happened here. I stood vigil for her. If word got out, it meant that I was worried about Jia's mansion and had nothing to do with her. When they returned to the mansion, they sent the selected female guards. There's nothing more to say."

"What's more, you are still here. With the previous incident as an example, I will see who dares to talk nonsense."
