[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian took Lin Daiyu onto the larger boat prepared by Xiao Yu.

Although they had met each other in private, it was considered a formal meeting at this time, so Lin Jian formally introduced Lin Daiyu to Xiao Yu and the others.

Yuan Jia had met Lin Daiyu before, after hearing Lin Jian's introduction, he nodded to Lin Daiyu first, with a smile on his face.It was the first time for Min Junyao to see Lin Daiyu, but in private, the newly promoted concubine had heard Princess Yuanjia talk about Lin Daiyu, when she saw Lin Daiyu, Min Junyao smiled and nodded to Lin Daiyu with admiration.

However, Xiao Yu bowed his hands to Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu was startled and did not dare to accept such a big gift from Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "At the Yunxi viewing ceremony earlier, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the Yunxi plan, I once concealed the news that Miss Lin had arrived in the West Garden in front of Yunxi. Although there was a reason for this, I was the one who lied to Miss Lin in front of Yunxi. First of all, this is my fault. I originally wanted to make a serious apology to Miss Lin, but since I met her today, I will naturally keep my promise."

Lin Daiyu didn't expect Xiao Yu to be so intentional. She subconsciously glanced at Lin Jian, who laughed beside him and said, "I didn't know about this beforehand. But since it's His Highness's wish, it's okay for you to agree."

Lin Daiyu felt relieved, but she didn't fully accept Xiao Yu's gift, she turned her body slightly, and waited for Xiao Yu to speak, Lin Daiyu blessed Xiao Yu again, and returned the gift generously, and then she was quiet He sat down next to Lin Jian.

The bigger the boat, the five people can still sit in one place, but it's just that everyone walks together, so they don't have the feeling of intimacy and comfort when they get along just now.

The boat sailed steadily, slowly passing through the bustling market on the shore, Xiao Yu recalled last year when he and Min Junyao went out for a stroll together in micro-clothes, and immediately lamented that this year is indeed very different from last year.

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Jian and said with a smile: "Last year, you were not in the capital. I brought Junyao and Yuanjia together. Last year, the waterways were not restricted, and the common people could come and go in small boats to enjoy the lanterns. Last year's Lantern Festival was only for one night. The people are the same as this year. But the waterways are much more lively than this year."

"Last year last year, Junyao, Yuanjia and I walked through the market on the shore. At that time, I saw that taking a boat was interesting, but it was a pity that I didn't try it. Tonight, my wish came true."

Speaking of the differences between last year and this year's Lantern Festival, not only Xiao Yu had something to say, but Princess Yuanjia also had something to say.

Princess Yuanjia said: "Just now I was talking to my sister-in-law. Last year, out of curiosity, I also bought a few lanterns and guessed lantern riddles, but those lantern riddles were all riddles in the market. There is no difficulty, but it is easy to speak fluently. There are not many talents. But tonight is different. I just bought a few lanterns, and the lantern riddles are really interesting. That poem is really talented, and after reciting it for a long time, it is really a good work. I just asked the peddler and I don’t know who wrote it, otherwise, I really want to meet this poet. "

Princess Yuanjia praised the lantern riddles well done. Min Junyao didn't talk much all the time, but just listened to them with a calm smile. Hearing this, she couldn't help saying something, echoing what Princess Yuanjia said, saying that the poems on the lanterns were really good.

Min Junyao is the daughter of a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy, needless to say she is talented and knowledgeable, when Xiao Yu fell in love with her at first sight, he just liked her calm and elegant book charm.

Min Junyao is a few years older than Princess Yuanjia, so she can naturally see more things from that poem.

She said: "Those poems are really excellent works. They don't seem to have been written casually. The people who make such poems must be first-class in talent and character, and look at the dictionaries and allusions, they seem to be written by women. It’s just that I don’t know whose girl’s poems have been handed down, and these vendors have printed them as lantern riddles and made them on lanterns. The poems are top-grade, but this may not be appropriate.”

Min Junyao said slowly, "Lantern Lantern Night, lantern riddles, there is no need for such a high-quality work, but a few auspicious words to suit the occasion. Just now, everyone who bought such lanterns, except us and some scholars, really Few can guess it. There are still many people who say they don’t understand what it means. It’s really a pity for such a good poem.”

Lin Daiyu's poems were all created when the girls in the Grand View Garden opened a poetry club together.People who know how to write poems write poems together, and they have to appreciate and analyze them, and they have to rank them. Naturally, Lin Daiyu will not conceal her talent.

These poems are not the kind of works that are suitable for both refined and popular tastes, let alone used as lantern riddles in the market.

When Xiao Yu heard Min Junyao's words, he was about to agree, but Lin Jian lowered his eyebrows and interrupted their discussion.

"Your Highnesses, please forgive me. Please stop talking about the lantern riddles and poems."

"As His Royal Highness said, this is not appropriate. I will investigate it in detail. I just ask the three Highnesses to let this matter go for my sake."

Just now when Lin Jian heard them talk about lantern riddles and poems, he lowered his eyebrows, but he didn't want to interrupt Min Junyao's words in public, and only waited for Min Junyao to finish speaking before he interrupted.

He was thinking earlier whether the person behind the spread of Lin Daiyu's poems had already spread Lin Daiyu's name, but now listening to the conversation between Princess Yuanjia and Min Junyao, he knew that they didn't know about it, and they didn't know that those poems were written by Lin Daiyu .Otherwise, they wouldn't talk like this in front of Lin Daiyu.

When Lin Jian said this, the three of them were taken aback for a moment.

When Lin Jian went to Jia Baoyu's banquet and heard that they took out Lin Daiyu's poems for appreciation and appreciation and then left, Xiao Yu knew about it later.

Hearing Lin Jian's words at this time, Xiao Yu saw the quiet smile on Lin Daiyu's face slowly disappearing, he thought about it, and immediately came to his senses.

Xiao Yu's eyes darkened immediately, and then a faint smile appeared in his eyes: "Okay, let's not talk about this."

Princess Yuanjia was still a little unclear, so when she wanted to ask clearly, Min Junyao, who saw the clue, stopped her by pulling her sleeve.

Lin Jian was worried about investigating this matter in detail, so he had no intention of traveling with Xiao Yu in the Lantern Market again. Just now, when the matter had not been revealed, Lin Jian was reluctant to accompany Xiao Yu with him. Xiao Yu is playing.

He took Lin Daiyu's hand and stood up, saying goodbye to Xiao Yu and the others: "Your Highness, please forgive me."

Naturally, Xiao Yu would not force Lin Jian to stay, he ordered the boat to dock, and asked if he wanted to send Lin Jian back to the West Garden.

Lin Jian smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. But there is no need. We have someone to pick us up."

Qian Ying didn't follow Xiao Yubei's boat, he followed on the shore all the time, just now Lin Jian took the time to secretly signal to him, Qian Ying understood, and went to look for Xiao Chen long ago.The Lin family's carriage has been following two streets away, and it can arrive within a quarter of an hour, so there is really no need for Xiao Yu's people to escort it.

It wasn't until Lin Jian led Lin Daiyu away under the escort of Qian Ying and Xiao Chen that Xiao Yu ordered people to continue walking, and pointed to the guards at the front and told him: "When you leave this market, go to the front under the stone bridge. Let’s go ashore. There are fewer people there. Since Shao Fu has left, Gu will go back too, so there is no need to go shopping.”

Xiao Yu came here originally to look for Lin Jian, Lin Jian has left, and such unpleasant things happen again, Xiao Yu naturally loses interest in playing.

Seeing Princess Yuanjia looking back frequently, Min Junyao couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "What? Still can't bear him?"

Princess Yuanjia shook her head and said: "No. Sister-in-law, don't think about it too much. I am a little worried about Miss Lin. I don't know who did such shameless things. It is clear that they want to harm her. If this matter spreads, The person who spread the poems was Miss Lin, so I don’t know what kind of ugly words there will be.”

"I saw Miss Lin's complexion just now, but I didn't know it, and I talked about it in front of her, no doubt adding salt to her wound."

Min Junyao reached out and gently stroked Princess Yuanjia's cheek, and comforted her softly, "You didn't know, how could she blame you? When she left just now, you and I both explained the reason to her and expressed our apologies. I think she is very She is a generous and good girl, and she won't care about you and my unintentional mistakes. As long as you and I don't mention this matter in the future, that's fine."

"It's just," Min Junyao murmured, "it's just that this matter may not be aimed at Miss Lin alone. This kind of low-handed means of destroying people's reputation will not only hurt Miss Lin, but also Shaofu Lin. The people behind it, The picture is not small. He wants to make the Lin family lose the big because of the small, so targeting the Lin family is probably for the sake of the previous incident."

Min Junyao looked at Xiao Yu, "Your Highness, Your Highness should investigate this matter."

Xiao Yu said: "Yunxi won't let me interfere. The matter about Miss Lin is a big matter in his eyes, so he is naturally more concerned. He will investigate this matter clearly without me doing it. Now it's like this Yunxi has already told me about my situation. As a new crown prince, I should be cautious and focus on consolidating my position. I should not act rashly. If there is any action on my side, it may hit the other party's mind. "

"Junyao, don't worry, Yunxi has never suffered from them before. Now that he has become the prince's young master, he will not suffer."

Princess Yuanjia blinked her eyes, pursed her lips and said, "Ninth Brother, we are not afraid that Shao Fu will suffer, but that Miss Lin will suffer."

Ever since Princess Yuanjia made up her mind to let go of her feelings for Lin Jian, not to mention being in front of Lin Jian just now, even when facing her Ninth Brother and Min Junyao this time, she always called Lin Jian the young Fu, stop calling brother Lin Jian intimately.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "With Yunxi here, Miss Lin will not suffer."

"Don't forget that Yunxi has a naughty temper, and he is the most protective person. If anyone dares to attack Miss Lin, this person will be crippled. Besides, Yunxi has kept his mind on this matter, and it is nothing more than that." With a few people in the know, he has his own countermeasures."
