[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian hadn't seen Lin Daiyu for more than half a month. Every time Qian Ying came back from Jia's mansion, she would say that Lin Daiyu was in good spirits. He saw that Lin Daiyu was indeed in good spirits.Those eyes were full of longing, just like when I saw her for the first time in Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Daiyu in Lin Jianjian/The concern on his face was beyond words, but after Mrs. Qiao left, he didn't mention a word about his body, he just looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile and said: "A few days ago, I sent someone to Jiangnan to look for the girl. Famous doctor. The people who went there sent news back that they had found a famous doctor. The famous doctor had been traveling in the south of the Yangtze River for several years. When he heard about the girl’s illness, he was quite surprised and promised to accompany me to the capital to treat her The girl is making a diagnosis."

"It's just that it's almost the end of the year now, and he will come back after spending the New Year's Lantern Festival at home. It is estimated that it will be March next year when he arrives in the middle of the city. Therefore, during this time, please take care of yourself. When the famous doctor arrives, take care of the girl. With careful diagnosis, treatment and conditioning, the girl's insufficiency can also be cured."

Lin Daiyu didn't expect Lin Jian to send someone to the south of the Yangtze River to find a famous doctor to diagnose and treat her old illness.

She originally felt that there was too little she could do for Lin Jian, but now that Lin Jian treated her so well, she felt a surge of emotion and felt that she deserved it.

"Third Brother, in fact, I—"

Lin Daiyu clasped her hands, and pressed her fingertips on the gold-plated stove in her hand. The palms were very warm, but she used a little effort, and the nails on her fingertips turned white.She was feeling ups and downs and wanted to say something, but as soon as the words came out, thousands of words came to her mind, and she didn't know which one to say first.

During this moment of confusion and pause, Mrs. Qiao came into the house with the boiled soup, and Mrs. Qiao called Lin Jian to drink the medicine.

With Qiao's interrupting, Lin Daiyu couldn't say what she wanted to say. Her palms were sweating a little from the warm stove, and her fingertips loosened up and lightly rubbed the engraved pattern on the stove twice. Without opening his mouth, he silently watched Lin Jian drink the medicine.

As soon as Lin Jian put down the medicine bowl, Qiao Shi asked him, "How is it? Do you think this medicine is bitter?"

Lin Jian nodded.This medicine is really bitter.He has lived for almost 20 years, and it was the first time he drank medicine since he was a child. He did not expect that the medicine was more bitter than he imagined.

Qiao said: "It's good to suffer. Only when you suffer can you have a long memory. Let's see if you dare to abuse your body indiscriminately in the future."

But Lin Jian laughed: "Mother, you know that I'm not afraid of suffering. The summer mansion often makes bitter gourd, and I can eat several plates at a time, have you forgotten?"

Qiao Shi choked at these words, and gave Lin Jian a hard look, too angry to talk to him.

At this time, Lin Daiyu said softly: "When I was young, my father often reminded me to take good care of my body, so that I can maintain my health for a long time. Mr. Studying and being an official bother me so much. Even if I keep my health for a long time, it will be too exhausting to last long. I have shortcomings. Even though he is not with my late father all year round, I dare not forget my late father's words of exhortation."

"In the past, I used to come to Jia's house for daily living and eating. There are some things that I can't do well. I can't do anything about it. Now that I have the care of my aunt and third brother, Yiying's daily living and eating are separated from that mansion. I can decide many things by myself. As far as daily life and eating habits are concerned, I keep the same as when I was at home. I arrange everything according to what my father said before. After a few days like this, I feel much better. Didn't talk about it with the third brother."

"It can be seen that our parents and elders are all for our good. The third brother has always been the most considerate person. Why is it that he refuses to listen to my aunt on this matter?"

Lin Daiyu spoke softly, but she spoke for Mrs. Qiao.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qiao looked at Lin Daiyu with loving and gentle eyes. She thought to herself, this is really a good girl.After thinking about it, he couldn't help but glared at Lin Jian again.

Lin Jian is a person who listens to advice, especially what Lin Daiyu said, how could he not listen?But he couldn't say anything, he couldn't say anything at this time, he could only correct his attitude, and told Qiao Shi and Lin Daiyu that he would definitely take good care of himself in the future, and would never stay up late to abuse himself again.

Lin Daiyu is not willing to persuade people easily. She is always afraid that the person being persuaded will not listen to her persuasion, but she has failed her intentions. After Jian drank the medicine, the color of her lips returned to some color, and Lin Daiyu felt a little relieved.

The affairs of the medical center and medicine hall were all handled by Auntie Sun, the master of Lin Daiyu, and Qiao Shi was on the sidelines. Except for a few members of the Lin family, the people who handled the affairs were all Lin Jian's own people. Don't worry, I never asked too much.

At this time, I was sitting with Lin Daiyu of Qiao's family, chatting together, Lin Jian asked about the birthplace and background of the doctor invited by the clinic, and also asked about the source of the purchase channel of medicinal materials. There were hunting sounds outside the closed window, Lin Jian paused, nodded after Qiao Shi finished talking about the source of the medicinal materials, immediately got up and walked to the window, stood there and listened to the movement outside.

Qiao Shi asked Lin Jian, "What's wrong?"

Lin Jian turned his eyes and said, "Listening to the wind outside, I'm afraid it's going to snow."

Qiao Shi was not very surprised when she heard Lin Jian's words, she just said, "It's only December now, and it's snowing at this time, isn't it too early?"

Hearing this, Lin Jian came out of the house, went to the porch outside and stood in front of the railing of the small building on the second floor to watch the sky outside, then stretched out his hand to feel the passing wind, and after a while, he turned back to the room and said, "Do you want to Light snow. But it's not snowy, and then it will melt, and then there will be rain."

"I'm afraid that the sleet will fall, and the weather will be even colder."

Mrs. Qiao was still calm, but Zijuan who was standing beside her was very surprised and stunned: "Can Lord Hou still predict the wind and snow?"

Lin Jian laughed: "South Anhui is near the sea, and the Qianfeng Battalion is stationed near the sea. Going to sea to fight is more serious than fighting inland. I am familiar with the sea breeze. It can be distinguished after a long time. The wind is whistling, and the humidity in the wind is quite heavy. Looking at the sun outside, there is no hint of warmth. There are dark clouds gathering in the sky, and it is close to Xiaoxue. If you want to come here later, you must go Snowing."

Lin Jian finished speaking, and said to Qiao Shi and Lin Daiyu: "Mother, it will be cold and the road will be difficult to walk, shall I take you and Miss Lin back?"

What Lin Jian meant was to send Qiao Shi and Lin Daiyu back to the West Garden.

However, Mrs. Qiao was afraid that the rain would not stop for a while, and that the road would be muddy and difficult to walk when the rain stopped, and it would take a lot of trouble to send Lin Daiyu back to Rongguo Mansion at night, making Lin Daiyu suffer from the wind for nothing, so she let her go. Lin Jian sent Lin Daiyu directly back to Rongguo Mansion.

"The business here is over now, Mrs. Sun and the shopkeeper will take care of the rest. Since the weather is bad, I'll go back by myself. There are quite a few people brought out from the left and right. It's okay for them to send me off. You can send me off." Miss Lin, go back."

Lin Daiyu was worried about Lin Jian's health. Seeing the strong wind outside, she thought that it would snow and rain soon. She was afraid that Lin Jian would get cold and get sick again, so she refused to ask Lin Jian to send her off, but both Qiao and Lin Jian insisted. Insisting, and saying that it's okay, Lin Daiyu couldn't hold back the two of them, so she had to agree.

There was a cape in Qiao's car, and it was windy outside, so Qiao didn't let Lin Jian take off her cape, so Lin Jian kept wearing Qiao's cape.Qiao's cloak is dark in color, without any lace decorations except for the dark satin pattern, and Lin Jian can't see the slightest femininity when worn on Lin Jian, but it's a bit short, revealing Lin Jian's white soap boots and small clothes. /legs come.

His trousers are all tucked into the tops of the soap boots, and his legs are long, the tops of the soap boots are stretched straight, the cape can't cover the tops of the feet and calves, but the exposed part is really pretty, naturally It has a neat flavor.

Lin Daiyu was sitting in the car, gently lifting the curtain with her hand to look out.Lin Jian was riding a horse outside the car, and Lin Daiyu could see her after she lifted the curtain.

When Lin Daiyu looked out, Lin Jian seemed to have a feeling. Looking back, when the two eyes were intertwined, Lin Jian curled his lips and gave Lin Daiyu a gentle smile.

Lin Daiyu quietly pursed her lips and smiled back at Lin Jian, and then put down the curtain.It's not good for Lin Jian to always look sideways at her when he's riding a horse outside, and she can't keep Lin Jian so distracted.

Zijuan at the side saw that Lin Daiyu had raised and lowered the car curtain two or three times since she got into the car, each time she looked at Lin Jian and then put it down again, the two of them didn't speak, just looked at each other and smiled, Lin Jian smiled softly and warmly, but Lin Daiyu's smile was very light, her brows were slightly frowned, as if she had something on her mind.

Zijuan then asked Lin Daiyu in a low voice: "Young lady, do you have something on your mind?"

"Is the girl worried about Master Lin's illness?"

Lin Daiyu cared about Lin Jian's body, and when she went out, she invited Lin Jian to ride with her in the car, but Lin Jian smiled and declined, saying that he was not so delicate, so she rode on his horse and guarded outside the car with Qian Ying.

Lin Daiyu went to see Lin Jian several times, but she was worried and didn't know what she could do for Lin Jian.

After listening to Lin Daiyu's thoughts, Zijuan laughed twice, then looked at Lin Daiyu and said in a low voice: "Girl, Lord Lin Hou has no worries about food and clothing. Even though he is sick now, he is a martial artist after all. It will be fine in a few days. Master Lin is just suffering from overwork, and he is not as weak as the girl, and the girl can't compare herself with Master Hou."

"I see that Master Hou treats the girl in every possible way. Mrs. Lin and Master Hou both hope that the girl is safe and healthy. If the girl really wants to do something for Master Hou, she should just take good care of her body. You must know that when the girl is healthy, Master Hou is the last I'm happy. The girl doesn't need to do anything specially for Master Hou, like the medicine bag that the girl painstakingly made earlier, I heard from Qian Weiwei that Master Hou cherishes it very much and always wears it on his body."

"For things like this, the girl can't think about it from her own mind. The girl has to think about what Master Hou wants."

The stove in Lin Daiyu's hand was already cold, but she was fascinated by Zijuan's words. She thought, what does Lin Jian want most?

Seeing Lin Daiyu's ecstasy, Zijuan didn't interrupt her thoughts. She reached out and touched the stove in Lin Daiyu's hand. Seeing that the stove was cold, she took out another prepared one and replaced it from Lin Daiyu's hand. This is cold.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't notice anything, Zijuan smiled quietly with her eyebrows lowered. She took warm charcoal and put it in the stove to replace the previous cold charcoal. Then she sat with Lin Daiyu, and she remained silent.

Lin Jian still sent Lin Daiyu back to the Xiaoxiang Hall together.As soon as they entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with their front feet, it started snowing with their back feet.

Lin Jian accidentally sucked a snowflake into his mouth, the ice flower melted instantly, and the cold breath entered his lungs, Lin Jian couldn't help coughing again.

Lin Daiyu saw that the snow was falling, and that it was getting cold outside, so she couldn't let Lin Jian go out and go back at this time.

Lin Daiyu ordered Zijuan to add another charcoal basin to the house, and asked Lin Jian to sit down: "Third brother, it's still early, the sky is still bright, and it's snowing outside, so it's hard to stop for a while. Third brother is better Just rest here for a while, wait for lunch, and look at it after noon, when the rain and snow stop, the third brother can leave soon."

After the charcoal basin was fired, the room gradually heated up. Lin Jian took off his cloak, sat down with a smile on his face, and readily agreed.

The news that Lin Jian sent Lin Daiyu back home soon reached Shi Xiangyun.

Shi Xiangyun had been quietly sending someone to watch Lin Daiyu's side all the time, just wanting to know the news as soon as Lin Jian came.

She didn't expect Lin Jian to come to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion so soon, but she didn't waste her time this morning. She still did a lot of homework in private. At this time, she heard that Lin Jian was coming, so she hurried out from the Lixiangyuan , casually told Xue Baochai an excuse, and came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion excitedly.

Shi Xiangyun also knew her strengths, since she wanted to seduce Lin Jian this time, she naturally had to spend some time thinking.

Seeing that the winter outside was cold and colorless, and the snow in the garden looked very clean, she also specially chose a round-neck peach red cardigan to wear, with a pure white pleated skirt underneath, and a peach red shirt with a pair of A small pink cloak, the cloak is a red cloak of rabbit fur, she came all the way from the snow with a hood and an umbrella, attracting the eyes of countless women and maids along the way, all of whom said Miss Shi was gorgeous Like a fairy girl walking down from the painting.

The ground outside was wet with snow, and it was inconvenient for Qian Ying to stand outside, so she went to the guest room to stay. Zijuan was afraid that Qian Ying would be alone, so she specially asked Xiangwu Xianrou to talk with Qian Ying, while she herself Serving Lin Daiyu and Lin Jian in the main room.

When Shi Xiangyun came, a little girl happened to go out to pour tea and saw her, so she immediately went to the main room to report. Not long after, Shi Xiangyun arrived at the porch, and Zijuan just came out to meet her.

"It's snowing like this, it's cold, and the road is not easy to walk, why is Miss Yun here?"

Shi Xiangyun pretended not to know anything, and said with a naive smile: "I just got excited when I saw the snow falling, and I want to invite Sister Lin to enjoy the snow and go to the garden together!"

"Sister Bao can't accompany me if she wants to serve my aunt. The sisters have their own affairs, so it's not good to call them. The third sister can't go out when she's preparing to get married. It's not good for me to go to the old lady to call the second brother, for fear of disturbing the old lady's rest. So I had no choice but to find Sister Lin."

Zijuan laughed and said, "Miss Yun, we girls are weak, so it's hard to go out in this weather."

"But sister Lin, didn't she just go out in the morning? I think sister Lin is in good spirits recently,"

Zijuan didn't let Shi Xiangyun into the house, and Shi Xiangyun didn't force her way in, let alone leave. She just stood there and smiled, "However, Sister Lin just came back, so she must be tired. It's fine if you don't visit the garden. I'll just sit here, talk with Sister Lin, and enjoy the snow scene in the courtyard, it's the same."

After Shi Xiangyun finished speaking, seeing that Zijuan still had no intention of welcoming her into the house, he couldn't help but smiled a little outside: "Zijuan, could it be that sister Lin doesn't welcome me?"

Zijuan pursed her lips. When Lin Jian came back from Lin Daiyu, he passed through the second gate. Many people saw this way into the garden. Zijuan did not believe that Shi Xiangyun was really ignorant.

But it was inconvenient for her to question Shi Xiangyun, so she pursed her lips and said, "Miss, I don't mean that. It's just that the young master of the Lin family is also here. Miss Yun——"

Before Zijuan finished speaking, the curtain of the house was raised, and Lin Daiyu said inside: "Zijuan, let Miss Yun come in."

Shi Xiangyun smiled at Zicuckoo, and went in with Cuiwei, leaving behind a gust of fragrant wind to fly around Zicuckoo, and Zicuckoo suddenly sneezed violently when he smelled such a strong fragrance.

Lin Daiyu asked Shi Xiangyun to sit down with a smile, and introduced Lin Jian to Shi Xiangyun: "Master Lin sent me back to the house. Unfortunately, it was difficult to travel due to wind and snow, so I rested here. Sister Yun came by coincidence, and I met her."

Shi Xiangyun got Lin Jian's portrait from Shi Nai, and she was a little moved when she saw the portrait. Only when she saw the real person did she realize that the portrait was not one-tenth of the millionth of Lin Jian's.

The portrait can draw that face, but it can't draw the romantic charm of the person in front of him.

The light in the room was a little dark, but Lin Jian was sitting in the shadow under the window pane. Shi Xiangyun saw Lin Jian's slightly raised eyelids when he raised his eyelids to look at her, and the flash of light in his eyes. Shi Xiangyun was fascinated by the darkness and depth.

She originally thought that Jia Baoyu was already an outstanding man in this world, but she didn't expect that this young master of the Lin family not only had such a skin that was not inferior to Jia Baoyu, but also had a general demeanor that Jia Baoyu was far inferior to.

This kind of mature and charming demeanor can only be obtained after being tempered by the world.This kind of temperament is most liked by little girls like Shi Xiangyun who are in deep boudoir dreams.

Lin Jian raised his eyelids and glanced at Shi Xiangyun, then lowered his eyelids. He ignored Shi Xiangyun's salute to him, as if he was suddenly very interested in his cloud-patterned clothes.

Shi Xiangyun gossiped with Lin Daiyu, but Lin Jian didn't give her the slightest look. He just sat quietly at the side, occasionally raising his eyes to look at Lin Daiyu, and only when Lin Daiyu was talking.

Shi Xiangyun saw Lin Jian's gentle eyes looking at Lin Daiyu several times, and compared with Lin Jian's cold attitude towards her, she felt a little anxious.

Shi Xiangyun wanted to be with Lin Jian wholeheartedly, so when he spoke to Lin Daiyu, he didn't notice or he didn't care at all about Lin Daiyu's attitude of keeping a distance from her. Lin Daiyu's attitude was not warm, but just responded politely.

"Sister Lin, do you still remember that when it snowed heavily in winter, we roasted venison. Everyone joked that this venison is very tasty if eaten raw. Even though it is fishy, ​​it is also a fresh and interesting experience. After eating it, let's eat it again." Poetry, the entrance is smelly, and then it is beautiful and embroidered, which is also a special taste. It's just that I was dissuaded by Zhu's sister-in-law, which is really a pity."

"It's snowing today, and the snow isn't too heavy. I just remembered the scene of that day. If there is venison again, I really want to taste it."

After Shi Xiangyun finished speaking, before Lin Daiyu could answer, she turned to look at Lin Jiandao, "Mr. Lin has been in the army for three years. He must have used raw meat, right? I heard from my uncle in the family that marching outside is very difficult, and cooked food is hard to find. , if there is raw meat, you have to swallow it. Master Lin Hou has been a general all the way, so he must know the taste of raw venison, right?"

In order to create an impression for Lin Jian that she has a straightforward and generous temperament, Shi Xiangyun picked out what she knew about Shi Nai and Shi Ding's marching, and also brought up the fact that she wanted to eat raw venison that year, just for Lin Jian's sake. Take a look, she is different from those daughters who are raised in deep boudoirs. She has a chivalrous spirit, and also has a side of innocence and curiosity.

Lin Jian lowered his eyes to look at his palm, and his eyes lingered for a long time on the callus of the tiger's mouth, then slowly raised his eyelids to look at Shi Xiangyun, and said with a half-smile: "Ms. Shi wants to eat raw meat?"

Seeing that Lin Jian was willing to talk, Shi Xiangyun was very happy, and quickly nodded reservedly: "Some people want to try it."

Lin Jian snorted, "This is easy."

Lin Jian signaled Zijuan to find Qian Ying, and when Qian Ying arrived at the door, Lin Jian got up and whispered something in front of Qian Ying, Qian Ying understood, turned around and left.

Lin Jian turned to look at Shi Xiangyun: "It's not hard to find deer at this time of year, but it's too hasty now, and I didn't prepare in advance, so I didn't go looking for deer. Raw pork is also raw meat, which is better than venison and tastes better. Creamier, not as fishy as venison. Smith will use some."

"It's just that Miss Lin's place is a refined place, and it's not convenient to eat raw meat here. Since Miss Smith is interested, why not follow me to Yihong Courtyard, where the place is large and uninhabited, so it's easy for me to give it to you." Smith, take a look at how raw meat is eaten in our army."

Lin Jian was willing to demonstrate in person, and Shi Xiangyun couldn't wish for it. She didn't see the coldness in Lin Jian's eyes at all, and she just thought that she really did what Lin Jian wanted, so she got up, straightened her clothes, and went to Yihong Courtyard.

Lin Jian took the cloak and followed, he walked to the door, turned around and was about to tell Lin Daiyu to wait for him here, but when he turned around, he saw that Lin Daiyu's cloak was all tied up.

"Miss Lin, don't go." When facing Lin Daiyu, Lin Jian's eyebrows and eyes were gentle.

Lin Daiyu didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly, with a pair of watery eyes, as if she insisted on going.

Lin Jian was helpless, lowered his eyes and smiled, "Forget it, let's go. Anyway, I'm here, so the girl won't be scared."

Of course Lin Daiyu didn't have to go, but she wanted to go.She just didn't want Shi Xiangyun to be alone with Lin Jian, she wanted to see what the hell they were doing.As for what Lin Jian meant by being frightened, Lin Daiyu didn't quite understand. She was curious and wanted to find out.

It's just about eating raw meat, she is still insensitive.With her current body, she couldn't help it.

Lin Daiyu followed Lin Jian out of the porch. She looked at the man beside her who was holding an umbrella for her, and thought silently, if it was true what Shi Xiangyun said, people who marched outside had no conditions to eat cooked food and always used raw meat to satisfy their hunger. No wonder Lin Jian fell ill.

Thinking about it, he must have suffered a lot of hardships that she didn't know about in the Southern Anhui Army.
