[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

There is also a woman on duty in Yihong Courtyard, who is used for daily cleaning and maintenance of the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

The Lin family also assigned someone to serve in Jia's mansion, just to take care of Lin Daiyu's food and daily life.Lin Jian sent Qian Ying to ask for something, and there was someone from the Lin family in the kitchen to accept it. Not long after, Qian Ying brought the things Lin Jian wanted to Yihong Courtyard with the Lin family.

In the Yihong Courtyard where Jia Baoyu once lived, there is a two-story exquisite small building. There is a corridor extending from the upper floor, and there is another pavilion in the courtyard.At this time, the rain and snow had not stopped, so naturally they couldn't brave the rain and snow and eat raw meat outside.

Shi Xiangyun came first and ordered someone to decorate the pavilion, set up tables, chairs and small tables, and brought tea and snacks. When Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu came, she invited Lin Jian to sit down and waited for Lin Daiyu and Lin Jian After sitting down together, Shi Xiangyun took his seat.

Shi Xiangyun was shocked when Qian Ying and people from the Lin family brought a meat pig over.

She originally thought that Qian Ying and the people from the Lin family would come here with chopped raw meat. What is the purpose of bringing the pork here?

The people of the Lin family put the pig with the mouth tied in the pavilion and left. Qian Ying came over to ask Lin Jian: "Master, can we start?"

Lin Jian raised his eyebrows: "Let's begin."

When Qian Ying passed by, Lin Jian looked at Shi Xiangyun, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Later, Miss Smith should take a look at it, this is a rare sight."

Where has Shi Xiangyun seen this before?Hearing Lin Jian's mysterious words, she nodded immediately, and went to see Qian Ying's actions with great interest.

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun was staring at Qian Ying intently, Lin Jian turned his eyes to look at Zijuan. Zijuan understood, and took out the clean and soft handkerchief that Lin Jian had whispered to her before leaving the door, and asked Lin Daiyu Blindfolded.

Lin Daiyu silently looked at Lin Jian. Although she didn't speak, her dark eyes were full of doubts.She didn't understand why Lin Jian asked her to cover her eyes.

Seeing that Qian Ying had already held the knife in his hand, Lin Jian didn't have time to explain more to Lin Daiyu. Lin Jian took the soft satin handkerchief from Zijuan's hand, and gently covered the satin handkerchief on Lin Daiyu's body. on the eyes.

"Miss Lin, I offended you. Please close your eyes."

The satin veil was not only soft/smooth, but also somewhat transparent. Lin Jian was afraid that Lin Daiyu could still see through the veil, so he didn't withdraw his hand, but gently covered Lin Daiyu's eyes with his warm palm on the veil.

"Miss Lin, you can't see this scene, and you won't be afraid. But please, don't be afraid of me."

Lin Jian sat with Lin Daiyu, and when he stretched out his hand sideways to cover Lin Daiyu's eyes, he whispered these two sentences into Lin Daiyu's ear, the latter sentence was lower, as if whispering to himself, but still Lin Daiyu heard it clearly.

When Lin Jian was speaking, Qian Ying had already taken a knife and slit the meat pig's throat in front of Shi Xiangyun. Killed, the pig twitched/twitched and lost its breath after struggling for a while.

Qian Ying slashed down with a few knives, and immediately cut off the meat on the chest of the pig and brought it to Shi Xiangyun, but Qian Ying didn't cut it for Shi Xiangyun, and directly put a few pieces of blood dripping meat in front of Shi Xiangyun, respectfully Said: "Smith, this is how raw meat is used in the army. Smith, please use it slowly."

Shi Xiangyun calls herself a chivalrous woman, and she is most envious of those kind of people who are willing to be kind and enmity. She has never been free in her life, so she yearns for freedom the most.Therefore, she deliberately did what she liked, just to be able to share Lin Jian's heart, but she was just a lady from an official family who had never been out of a boudoir. No matter how many books she had read, how much of the world would she have seen?

Let alone the army, he has never even been to the kitchen in this mansion. At most, it is very hard to do some embroidery work day and night. Shi Xiangyun suddenly faced such a bloody scene. The meat pig was tied up and could not scream, and Shi Xiangyun was also stunned by the strong visual impact.

Qian Ying's saber skill was amazing. At the same time as she cut the pig's throat, all the hot blood spurted out by the pig splashed on Shi Xiangyun's body, splashing all over her head and body. The hot and smelly blood was poured like a basin of hot water. On the body, the feeling is not good.

Shi Xiangyun was dumbfounded. When Qian Ying put the piece of meat in front of her, the bloody piece of meat pierced into Shi Xiangyun's eyes, and woke up Shi Xiangyun, who was in a panic and stunned. She trembled uncontrollably / body, then stood up abruptly, covered his head and ran out of Yihong Courtyard screaming.

The hot pig's blood dripped down from her body, mixed into the rain and snow, and she was in a state of embarrassment. Her screams sounded very miserable, which shocked the women who were quietly watching in the Yihong courtyard. Jian gently covered Lin Daiyu's ears with the other hand in advance, so that Lin Daiyu would not be frightened by Shi Xiangyun's screams at close range.

After Shi Xiangyun ran away in a panic, Cui Ling hurriedly followed, Lin Jian glanced at Qian Ying, Qian Ying understood, he took away the plate on the small table, and called for someone to drag the pork away, After Qian Ying cleaned up her hands and feet quickly, Lin Jian took off the satin veil covering Lin Daiyu's eyes.

Lin Daiyu closed her eyes for another moment before opening them.

Lin Daiyu adjusted to the light, only to find that the chair where Shi Xiangyun was sitting next to was empty, and there were still some red blood stains on the chair.Lin Daiyu looked around, and saw a pool of blood diluted by rain and snow where she had heard some screams just now.

Lin Daiyu moved her nose lightly, and she could still smell the bloody smell that hadn't dissipated in the cool air.

Qian Ying was not slow to clean up the mess, but Lin Jian definitely couldn't cover Lin Daiyu's eyes for a long time, so when she let her eyes free, Lin Daiyu would inevitably see that there was still a little bit of mess left.

Just when Lin Jian felt sorry for letting Lin Daiyu see the mess and was about to take Lin Daiyu away, Lin Daiyu turned to look at him.

"Third brother, I'm not afraid of this."

She had never seen blood before. On the night of Yangzhou's attack, she would not dare to look at the blood on the door panel, but now that she has experienced so many things, Lin Daiyu suddenly discovered that blood is not the most terrifying thing in this world. What is terrible is the human heart.

The bloody scene did have a certain impact on her, but after seeing it once, it was not so hard to accept the second time.

In the bloodiest scene, Lin Jian shielded her eyes and ears, didn't she see or hear?

On the night of Yangzhou's attack, she and Zijuan hid behind the screen, and she saw the whole process of Lin Jian wiping the blood on the door panel.She knew that Lin Jian, a general who had been fighting abroad since he was a teenager, would not care so much about bloodstains. He did all this for her.

Just like today he covered her eyes and covered her ears in order not to scare her.

She is actually not that delicate, she wants Lin Jian to know this.

Lin Jian laughed: "You're not afraid and I won't show you this. This was originally intended to scare Shi Xiangyun, so it can't be for nothing/bring you tired."

Qian Ying's hands and feet were quick, and in just a short while, she had wiped off every drop of blood on the tables, chairs, and small tables, and cleaned up the blood on the ground that had been diluted by the rain and snow.

It is raining and snowing heavily, and there are still felt curtains hanging around the pavilion to prevent wind and snow.

Lin Jian didn't want to go back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with Lin Daiyu in such a heavy rain and snow, so he thought about waiting for the rain and snow to calm down before leaving, so he put down the felt curtain and asked the woman on duty in Yihong Courtyard to take it Two charcoal basins came over.

After finishing all this, seeing that the pavilion was warm and airtight, Lin Jian smiled and said, "It's time for dinner, since we can't go back, Miss Lin will use it here with me, right? Let's use it here." After dinner, I'll take the girl back when the rain and snow are lighter."

Lin Daiyu nodded in agreement.

After Lin Daiyu had ordered the food, Lin Jian said to the person in charge of the food of the Lin family that Qian Ying had found: "Don't waste the pork either. You slice the meat and make a grilled meat. Add more seasonings to make it taste stronger." It doesn't matter. We can't eat a whole head here, keep some for our own use, and give the rest to the various rooms in the house to try something new. Remember, the old lady in the house should give some more, and her There are many people eating, and everyone must have a taste."

Lin Jian knew that although Shi Xiangyun lived in Lixiangyuan, he still ate with Jiamu.It wasn't enough for Lin Jian to stimulate her before, but now he has to stimulate this little girl who knows nothing about heights and depths with this dish of grilled pork.

It is said that Shi Xiangyun ran out, ran all the way madly to the Fengyao Bridge, lost his strength, and fell to the ground suddenly, Cui Ling, who was chasing after him, quickly quickened his pace, came forward to help Shi Xiangyun, and was going to wipe Shi Xiangyun again. The skirt was thrown away by Shi Xiangyun.

"What else do you need to wipe? The muddy water on this body can't be wiped clean!"

Shi Xiangyun's blood was hot, and after being drenched by the hot pig's blood and then blown by the cold wind and rain, he was completely awake.

She tugged Cuihui's arm and said through gritted teeth: "Lin Jian is playing tricks on me! He's playing tricks on me on purpose!"

Cuihui has served Shi Xiangyun for so many years, but she has never seen Shi Xiangyun's hysterical and ferocious appearance. Cuihui was a little frightened. She took out the handkerchief and wiped the pig's blood on Shi Xiangyun's face, and picked it up again. The umbrella on the ground shielded Shi Xiangyun from the wind and rain, and persuaded her in a low voice: "Girl, I don't think Lin Houye is an easy-going lamp. Since he teased the girl like this, he must have seen through the girl's plan. According to me, the girl might as well let it go , don’t provoke Lord Lin anymore.”

"At the second master's place, the girl will go and explain the situation truthfully, and the second master will definitely understand the girl."

This hit a wall at the very beginning, and Cui Hui couldn't help but think of the news she had inquired about earlier.Both she and Shi Xiangyun knew about the fame and deeds of the young master of the Lin family. They thought it would be a shortcut to follow suit, but now it seems that this road is not feasible.

Hitting a wall is secondary, Cuihui is afraid that this matter will cause trouble to her upper body, and if she is hooked, she will pay herself for it, and her girl will not be worth the loss.

Cui Ling tried to persuade him to quit, but Shi Xiangyun refused: "Do you think that if I go to Second Uncle and tell him, Second Uncle will understand me? Second Uncle will only think I'm useless!"

After experiencing this setback, Shi Xiangyun not only did not lose heart, but became more and more courageous after his setbacks, which made his pig blood arouse his rebellious heart.

She had to go back and change, and then figure out another way.After all, with this mess in her body, she couldn't think of anything else.

Shi Xiangyun had just taken two steps when Cui Ling suddenly saw the golden unicorn pendant that Shi Xiangyun had been wearing on his body fall to the ground.Cui Wei thought, Shi Xiangyun must have dropped the pendant when he fell to the ground just now.

Cui Ling wanted to pick it up, but was held back by Shi Xiangyun.

Cui Ling turned around in confusion: "Girl?"

Shi Xiangyun stared at her gold unicorn shining in the sun and thought for a moment, then reached out to pick it up by herself, wiped off the muddy water on the gold unicorn pendant, pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "I will Try it once."

As she said that, Shi Xiangyun was about to go back, Cui Yu was so frightened that she quickly stopped her: "Miss, are you going back? Miss, in the current situation, it's better not to go back."

Shi Xiangyun raised the golden unicorn pendant in his hand and said, "I won't go back. I will try again."

Cuilu's face changed when she heard the words, and she immediately wanted to persuade her again, but Shi Xiangyun forbade her to say any more.

Shi Xiangyun made up her mind, so she took an umbrella with a green thread, and walked back quietly, but she didn't go into the Yihong Courtyard, but put the golden unicorn pendant on the roadside on the only way from Yihong Courtyard to Xiaoxiang Pavilion The grass was conspicuous, and then ordered Cui Yu to quietly guard not far away, and left the umbrella for Cui Yun.

"My unicorn is hanging on the outside of my skirt. Master Lin must have seen it. He knows it is mine. Now that it is thrown here, he will definitely see it when he comes back. If he has a heart for me, he will definitely pick it up. By then The next thing will naturally follow. If he has no intention, he will definitely not touch my unicorn. Then you can take this unicorn back after Master Lin leaves, and I will think of other ways."

Cui Wei didn't dare to say anything else, but said: "If Master Lin wants to go this way, he must be with Miss Lin. If Miss Lin sees Miss Lin's unicorn, Lord Lin probably won't pick it up. I just saw that Lin Houye took care of Miss Lin in every possible way, and valued Miss Lin very much. I'm afraid that the girl's method will not work. If you ask someone to hold the girl's personal things in their hands, it will be harmful The girl is not good, what should I do then?"

Shi Xiangyun didn't take Cui Ling's words seriously: "If Master Hou really wants to love me, how can Sister Lin stop her? Besides, I'm just giving it a try now. If it doesn't work, I'll just think of another way. You just keep it. Here, if they don't take my golden unicorn, you just take it back and give it to me, how can it fall into the hands of others?"

Shi Xiangyun was determined to try again, but Cuilu couldn't persuade her, so she had to obey her.

After putting away the golden unicorn pendant, Shi Xiangyun found a place for Cui Ling to stay at a place far away where she could hide and see her. Then Shi Xiangyun limped back in the rain and snow. Rikain went.

The people in the kitchen had to prepare meals, and there was still some time before the meal, so Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu sat in the courtyard and chatted about the family affairs.

Because there was going to be a meal later, Lin Jian was afraid that eating too many snacks would lose his appetite, so he only drank some green tea, and Lin Daiyu only used some melons and fruits.

Lin Jian glanced at Lin Daiyu, and leisurely talked to her about the past when he was a teenager.

"I accompanied Prince Zhao in the palace. I stayed with him for seven years and left the palace when he was 14 years old. To tell you the truth, I have encountered something like today more than once. It's just that there are big rules in my family. I never like to entangle with people, so I just use whatever method to get rid of people as soon as possible. It's just that when I came to Rongguo Mansion, I thought that because of the previous incident, no one in this mansion would dare to touch such a thing Thoughts, I didn't expect someone to move."

"It's not that I haven't seen people who are more extreme than today. In Duzhong and southern Anhui, the methods I used were a hundred times worse than today. Once, I even scared a person to tears. I heard that she went back After a serious illness, I can't even hear the word Lin anymore. I tremble with fright when I hear people say the word Lin."

"My family has established rules for my elder brother and my second brother since I was a child, and I am the same. I was not allowed to have maids around me since I was a child, let alone a housemaid. Before marriage, you are not allowed to get close to a girl's house casually. After marriage, you can only be a regular wife. There is no such mess as a concubine. People. The girl knows that my father only has my mother, and my elder brother and second brother only have their own wives. There are no concubine rooms, and I will be the same in the future. I only want to be with the person I like, If I don't like people, I can't take care of them, and I won't treat them well."

"My father always said that I was an asshole, but I didn't think about changing it. In fact, they were afraid that I was just right, so they would save people from pestering me again."

Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Jian calmly, and said, "Third Brother, I'm not afraid of you."

"Don't worry, I won't be afraid of you."

When she was covering her eyes just now, she heard Lin Jian whispering two words in her ear, and her heart suddenly softened.

He treated her so well, how could she be afraid of him?With him around, she wouldn't be afraid of anything.

Lin Jian laughed all of a sudden.

As soon as he smiled, the end of his eyes became more upturned, and the brows and eyes became more gentle and warm. It was obvious that Lin Daiyu's words made him very happy.

"Okay, just don't be afraid."

While the two were talking, the food over there was delivered.Before eating, Lin Jian asked Lin Daiyu again: "Miss Lin, did you understand what I just said?"

Lin Daiyu raised her eyes to look at him, lowered her eyes slightly, and nodded slightly: "I heard clearly."

Lin Jian smiled again, with undisguised satisfaction and joy in his eyes, and then began to eat.

Lin Daiyu is weaker and can't use roasted pork, so she can't.Originally, Lin Daiyu thought that Lin Jian should not use such a strong taste, so as not to aggravate his condition.But she saw that Lin Jian was smiling all the time, looking very happy, and she didn't see any difference in him after using roasted pork, and he had never coughed since just now. Lin Daiyu stared at the smile on Lin Jian's face for a while, and in the end She still loosened the tension in her heart, couldn't bear to spoil his interest, and simply let him go.

After finishing their meal, the rain and snow outside really stopped, Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu sat in the pavilion for a while, and when their stomach subsided and they felt more comfortable, they got up and prepared to go back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu walked together. Although the rain and snow had stopped, the ground was still wet. Lin Jian was afraid that Lin Daiyu would slip and fall, so he carefully protected her by her side all the way, and walked slowly towards the Xiaoxiang Hall.

When he was about to approach the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lin Jian saw something shiny in the grass by the roadside at a glance.

Lin Daiyu glanced over and saw that thing.

Zijuan, who was protecting Lin Daiyu on the other side, also saw it, and said in surprise, "What is that? Why does it look like the golden unicorn that Miss Yun always hangs on her body?"

Hearing the words Miss Yun, Lin Jian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lin Daiyu over there thought it was very similar, so Zijuan went over to have a look, picked it up after a while and brought it back to show Lin Daiyu: "Miss, it is indeed Miss Yun's golden unicorn."

Zijuan was also surprised: "It stands to reason that even if Miss Yun ran out of Yihong Courtyard in a panic, she shouldn't have left her things here. This is not the way back to Lixiang Courtyard. If you really go here, I'm afraid it will be a detour It's too far away. How could this golden unicorn be left here?"

Lin Jian stretched out his hand: "Come on, give me the things."

Zicuckoo was taken aback for a moment, and then put the thing in Lin Jian's hand.

Lin Jian turned his head and glanced at a certain place at the same time as Qian Ying who was beside him. He also pointed to that place and pinned the golden unicorn around his waist before turning around.

As soon as he turned around, he met Lin Daiyu's eyes.

Lin Daiyu looked straight at Lin Jian, and said in a soft and deep voice, "Why did the third brother put away girl Yun's things?"

Lin Jian hooked Gouchun, and said with a soft smile, "I thought it was her mind that was not right, so she used a little trick. Only now do I realize that I underestimated her."

"She left things here on purpose for me to pick them up. If I don't pick them up, how can I be worthy of the people behind her?"

Lin Jian rolled his eyes and smiled, but there was a coldness in his eyes, "Her thoughts are too shallow, but the thoughts of the person behind the scheme are very deep. I am in the scene, but here I am not hooked, how can I Didn't it fail my painstaking efforts and their management?"

"It's just a little girl on the left and right, what kind of big waves can I make? I took her things, and what she got was just an illusion, but her future and future are in my hands. This is also a gift for her. Ignorant, ignorant, ignorant, ignorant, ignorant, and a lesson of acting as a minion! Such a person, if you don’t ask her to pay a little price, she will not learn well.”

Lin Daiyu understood Lin Jian's words half-understood. She heard him say the turbulent wind and clouds seemed quite dangerous, as if she was playing a game with others at a critical juncture so she couldn't show her flaws, and when she heard Lin Jian talking about the person behind the plot, Lin Daiyu was silent. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly looked up at him.

Her voice was softer than before: "Third brother is talking about them, are they Baolinghou and Zhongjinghou?"

Lin Jian stared fixedly at Lin Daiyu: "It's not just them. There are many others. But right now, I can't tell you."

"Don't worry, I know all these things in my mind, and I have arranged them all. Even if they have a conspiracy, I will not suffer. However, this Shi Xiangyun has been manipulated by her family. You should not associate with her in the future. Chao Zhongshan is about to rain, and the inner house of Jia's mansion may not be peaceful, Xiangwu Xianrou and the people of my Lin family can protect you well, but you must keep a distance from the people in this mansion, don't let them have a chance to harm you."
