[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian was very impressed with this poem.

It was still in the summer, when Lin Jian went back to Rongguo Mansion for the first time, he was kindly invited by Jia Baoyu to a gathering of their best friends and friends. It was at that banquet that he heard Jia Baoyu announce Lin Daiyu's poem in public. Come out for everyone to appreciate.

He later conducted a thorough investigation in private, and found that Shui Rong Jia Baoyu and others did not spread Lin Daiyu's poems to the public, and those poems were only known to a few people they had a drink with, and no one else knew about them.

Although Lin Jian sent someone to keep an eye on those few people, Shi Zuo knew about it after all. No matter how cautious he was, he couldn't resist someone deliberately leaking it.

It's just that I don't know who is behind the scenes who deliberately spread Lin Daiyu's poems and printed them on the lanterns as lantern riddles.

Even though Shui Rong had given Lin Jian the collection of poems made by Lin Daiyu's poems in front of Lin Jian when he was in Rongguo Mansion, who knows if Shui Rong still has any secrets?And who can be sure if this matter was done by Shui Rong privately?

Jia Baoyu was drowsy some time ago, but he also woke up during this time, and it cannot be ruled out that he made it up in private.

Lin Jian lowered his eyebrows slightly, and his subordinates flicked/fiddled with the lantern slightly, and the candle fixed inside the lantern immediately fell down, and the lantern was lit all at once. Lin Jian held the skeleton of the lantern and looked at it. The lantern was burning, and it was thrown on the board when it was about to burn out.

When he turned back to look at Lin Daiyu, the gloomy complexion on his face had long faded away, and there was still a gentle smile on his face: "Yu'er, this lantern is not ready yet. I'll buy another one."

When he held the lantern to watch, he turned his body to Lin Daiyu. When he saw the lantern riddle, he didn't turn around and handed the lantern to Lin Daiyu.Lin Daiyu stood beside him, and when Lin Jian held it in his hand to watch, Lin Daiyu couldn't see the whole lantern, so she didn't see the lantern riddle. .

Lin Jian wanted to see how the people behind it spread Lin Daiyu's poems, so he bought another lantern from the same vendor.

He brought Lin Daiyu to watch the lantern today, except for Qian Ying and a few close family members who knew about it, no outsiders knew about it.Therefore, if the person behind it only made this lantern and put it here for Lin Jian to buy it purely for the purpose of targeting him and Lin Daiyu, this possibility is unlikely.

When watching the second lantern in his hand, Lin Jian confirmed his guess.

This lantern is slightly larger than the previous one, and there is still a poem about guessing flower names reflected on it.

"The rascal poems are invading at dawn, and the stones around the fence are silent. They are written in the face of frost, and they are full of fragrance. , the ancient high winds talk about it to this day."

Lin Jian had never read this poem, but the first time he saw it, he knew that only Lin Daiyu had this kind of character.This poem is still Lin Daiyu's.

Lin Jian lowered his eyebrows, and his subordinates quietly fiddled with the mechanism at the bottom of the lantern, and the candle flame in the lantern was poured inside again, and the lantern in Lin Jian's hand immediately ignited.

There were many people around the vendor selling lanterns and guessing lantern riddles, and the young vendor didn't care about Lin Jian's side at all, so when the first lantern was burning, the vendor didn't see it at all, and those who guessed the lantern riddles could get A reward for a delicate little flower lantern.

But there were also many people who didn't guess correctly, so they left with the lantern riddles and lanterns they bought, and the hawkers ignored them.

After waiting for fewer people, the young peddler remembered Lin Jian as a distinguished guest. He turned around and wanted to ask Lin Jian if he had guessed the riddles on the lantern, but when he turned around, he saw the The lantern was lit up, and Lin Jian threw it on the board of the boat after a while.

There was something mixed into the frames of the two lanterns, and the candles were not burned out. When the two frames collided, a layer of soot fell on the board of the boat.

The young peddler was taken aback by this scene. He thought there was something wrong with his lantern, and it caught fire when it was in the hands of the nobleman. He was afraid of being reprimanded by Lin Jian, so he hurriedly sent another lantern to make up for his mistake. fault.

When Lin Jian didn't answer, the peddler was even more embarrassed. He was still muttering, asking if Lin Jian couldn't solve the lantern riddle.

Lin Jian smiled faintly, and didn't answer the peddler's words, but just gave Qian Ying a wink, and their boat left the side of the stone railing.

Lin Daiyu didn't see any problems at first, but now she also noticed something strange about Lin Jian.

She asked Lin Jian: "Third brother, why did the lantern burn out?"

Lin Jian lied without changing his face: "The lantern is not well made, it burned as soon as I held it in my hand."

He looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile, "If you like it, let's buy some better ones for you."

It's okay to buy lanterns, even if you can buy all the exquisite lanterns in Dongshi, but you can't guess lantern riddles anymore.

Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Jian quietly: "Third brother saw the lantern riddle on the lantern, what did the lantern riddle say? Third brother can't guess it, right?"

Lin Jian laughed and said, "The lantern riddles are rare and difficult to understand, I can't guess them."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips slightly, fixedly looked at Lin Jian and said, "I can guess it. Why don't you tell me the lantern riddle?"

At this point, what else does Lin Jian not understand?

He also understood in his heart that the action just now was not a secret, except that Lin Daiyu couldn't see it when he secretly fiddled with the mechanism, but his attitude towards the peddler and the lantern with lantern riddles written on it was very unusual. Lin Daiyu is so smart, how could she not guess it?

Lin Jian paused, then said softly: "Yu'er, I don't want to tell the riddle. Especially I don't want to tell you."

Lin Daiyu was silent.

Their small boat was leisurely sailing on the water, and the shore was still lively, full of people's voices, all kinds of voices, mixed together as if they couldn't hear the specific voices.In such an environment, the two of them talked quietly, as if they had isolated the excitement from their world.

When they arrived at the busiest place in Dongshi, there were more boats around them. Even though Qian Ying tried her best to push the boat, waves still came over, making their black boat turbulent.

Lin Daiyu was a little unsteady on her feet, and just when she almost fell due to the bumps of the boat, a strong arm supported her.

Lin Jian hugged Lin Daiyu's waist to help her stabilize her figure, and then helped her to sit down, and Lin Jian also sat down.

Lin Daiyu kept looking at Lin Jian. From her perspective, the bright and lively scenery on the shore seemed to be the background of Lin Jian. Against such a lively and joyful background, in her eyes, Lin Jian was the most eye-catching and the most beautiful. catch her eye.

Lin Daiyu said softly: "Third brother, you don't want to tell me about that lantern riddle, it must be because it is related to me. You are afraid that I will feel uncomfortable after listening to it."

"After thinking about it, I think that the lantern riddles that make you rather destroy the lantern than cut it for me must be related to my poems that were handed down by Baoyu in the past. You said that you checked it out for me in private. Those poems Only a few people know about it, and it has never been spread among the people. But just now you looked at the lantern riddles... I think those poems were printed on the lanterns as lantern riddles, right?"

Lin Jian has always admired and loved Lin Daiyu's intelligence and agility, but now he hopes that she is not so intelligent and agility.In this way, she would not be able to guess these things, and would not be troubled by them.

Lin Jian held Lin Daiyu's hand, his eyes were gentle: "Yu'er, don't worry about this, I will investigate this matter for you. No matter who did this, I will not let him go. In fact, it may not be a bad thing for your poems to spread among the people, it just depends on how it is guided by others. Of course, those who release it want to harm you, but how can I let their schemes succeed?"

He had kept an eye on this matter early in the morning. He couldn't control the behavior of Shui Rong Jia Baoyu and others, but it didn't mean that he really couldn't solve the trouble in front of him.

Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Jian with eyes full of eyes. She was about to speak when suddenly, not far away, a black boat that was bigger than them approached. the words said.

"Yunxi."

Lin Jian and Lin Daiyu searched for the reputation together, only to find that standing on the approaching boat was Xiao Yu who had just been canonized as the crown prince.

Xiao Yu wore dark clothes, the style was very simple and low-key. In such a deep night, everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. Same, no one recognized it.

Lin Jian smiled and said, "Why did Your Highness go out? There must be many people coming to the house tonight? Your Highness is here, what should those people do?"

Xiao Yu smiled lightly: "Stay in the mansion to deal with them, how can we go out to enjoy the lanterns?"

Xiao Yu leaned over, and said in a low voice that only Lin Jian could hear: "If I'm in the mansion, it's not easy for people to refuse me. It's better to just leave the mansion, and let them rush to nothing. You don't know, the mansion Stuffed, I have been blocked by them for several days and have not gone out."

"Originally, I wanted to go to the West Garden to find you, but I went to ask. I heard that you came to the East City, so I brought Junyao and Yuan Jia out. I searched all the way, and I happened to meet you here."

Lin Jian looked behind Xiao Yu again, and sure enough, he saw the Crown Princess Min Junyao who was also wearing a dark dress standing beside Xiao Yu.Beside Min Junyao stood Princess Yuanjia in light-colored clothes and holding a lantern.

Lin Jian hurriedly saluted the three of Xiao Yu with Lin Daiyu, and Xiao Yu immediately excused them.

The newly promoted prince smiled peacefully and said, "This is outside, so there is no need to be too polite. It is rare for us to go for a stroll together, and all the people are here. I have prepared a bigger boat, and Miss Yunxi Tonglin will be with us Let's go shopping again."
