The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Xiu Lang's body is actually not as strong as Xiu Hang's. Even though he is a few days older than his younger brother, but Yun Chu was born prematurely, which hurt his health. Lin Mo hugged the child and teased him for a while, even humming out of tune It’s just that he still refused to close his eyes for a long time, so he put it down, carefully looked at the child’s clothes and bedding, and sighed: “It’s cold this day, and my bones are still weak.” Patted Xiulang again "My dear son, can I hear you calling daddy?"

It's a pity that Xiu Lang only yelled twice.

"It's time to learn to speak..." Lin Mo muttered, a little disappointed.

Yun Xi was waiting below nervously, her fingers tightly gripping the veil, almost turning blue, but no matter how hard she struggled, the child just smiled and smeared his adoptive father's face with saliva.Fortunately, Lin Mo didn't mind, and rubbed the child's white and soft face: "Don't be sick and troubled like me, baby? Let's learn some boxing and kicking kung fu, okay? I'll ask you to teach it to my uncle Rong." How are you?"

It's a pity that the child couldn't understand what he said at all, and was still "babbling", but the voice was much weaker, and it seemed that he was sleepy.

Yun Xi was very disappointed.When she heard Lin Mo say that Xiu Lang wanted to learn boxing kung fu, she felt terrified.Could it be the uncle's intention, let this child learn boxing skills well, like Shen Bao, to protect Xiuhang?But it's not like, if you just want to teach a guard, you don't need the future son-in-law to personally teach...

Only halfway through her thought, she heard Lin Mo yelling in a low voice: "Listen to the song."

Ling Ge walked in lively.

"Xiu Lang has fallen asleep, you carry him into the house of the eldest grandma." He whispered, "Be careful, don't get caught in the wind. Find another nanny for him."

Lingge glanced at Yun Xi in surprise, but smartly didn't ask anything, carefully hugged Xiu Lang, wrapped it up carefully, then called Wen Qin to cover the road with a big cloak, and the two of them together Cautiously went into Jingxian's room, followed by a bunch of ladies and maids.Lin Mo naturally prefers his own Xiu Hang - he himself never shy away from talking about this point. Of course, if he really treats everyone equally, he might not be happy with his father-in-law and brother-in-law, but Xiu Lang is also serious. It should be a lot of ostentation. It was originally raised in Jingxian's house, but she was not yet confinement, and there were several times more people serving in the house. Practitioner Yun Xilang was in her yard. Naturally, it couldn't be spread out.

Yun Xi was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, unable to utter a word.

"I asked you at the beginning, this child, do you want him to be a master, or do you want to raise it yourself?" Lin Mo said, "Since you promised him to be my son, you shouldn't think that you still have the qualifications to ask for it." What about him. Whether my son is successful or not, that is my own business."

His words were clear.Yun Xi had no choice but to lower her head.

Ever since Yunchu came up with an idea to show the child to King Beijing Jing last time, she has been harboring some evil thoughts.This evil thought became more and more intense, she almost forgot that even though she was Xiu Lang's biological mother, she was only a servant to him.She was worried about her son's future after Xiuhang was born, and her worry went beyond the limit.

Lin Mo didn't stay too long.He didn't even say how he would arrange Yun Xi in the future.

Miao He glanced at her worriedly, then followed Lin Mo closely.

She didn't know how long she sat on the ground until Yun Chu stumbled in and helped her onto the couch.After a while, she vaguely heard the voice of a familiar doctor from the pharmacy: "It's burning, cover your sweat with the quilt, and I'll prescribe a prescription. You have to take good care of it, this disease is very serious."

After a while, the voice became more familiar - it was Wen Ge, saying to Yunchu: "Why did you toss it like this? It's not enough. It's not enough, so why do you want the old man to hold Brother Hang?" Is it possible to give all the benefits to Brother Lang? If you think about it carefully, is it possible? They are all born by the grandfather, so there are still three or six or nine grades. I think you are bewildered yourself, and you are driving Yun Xi to madness. "

She couldn't help shivering twice.

Wen Ge didn't say much, and hurried home - she is now the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and she was busy with some things, but she just accompanied her husband to visit old friends, and then went back to take care of housework.The Gu family really couldn't do without her, and the shopkeeper Gu spoke to her in a negotiating tone. It seemed that Yun Chu didn't know whether it was because her sister was doing well, or if she was more hopeful.

Wen Ge was generous, and went to see the eldest girl whom she had served for several years—now she was called the princess. Daiyu was also happy to see her, and took her hand to visit Jing Xian together, talking for a while gossip.When the people left, she thought about it and asked Xueyan: "How do you think sister Wen Ge's life is going?"

Xueyan still didn't know what she meant, but Zijuan's heart and flesh jumped together.

But Daiyu quickly talked about other things, more like casually.

"Don't be afraid, Princess Jingrou's husband's family has been settled, if she talks nonsense again, you will use her husband's family to choke her." Jingxian reached out and stroked my sister-in-law's hair, "Don't be afraid of her."

"I'm not afraid of her." Daiyu said with a smile.

Jing Xian said: "I used to be in that palace, and I was not afraid of anyone."

Daiyu was quiet for a while waiting for her to speak.

"Later I realized that I was afraid." She said, "The eldest princess, and your brother, are probably very happy about this." But she quickly put aside the topic, "However, there are only a few people in the palace who can really make decisions. Just be afraid of them. You can't go to someone's house as a guest, and you have to listen to the youngest of their family?"

"When you are a guest at someone else's house, you should accommodate the host's house." Daiyu replied.

"If she's polite, of course you don't take the initiative to talk to her. If she's rude, just carry me out." Jing Xian complained, "The other princesses are all spoiled, why not Is she honorable alone? She takes the Song family too seriously."

What Jingxian was talking about was the Song family, Concubine De's natal family.That is indeed one of the best "family" in the entire dynasty. Compared with them, even the Zhou family can only be regarded as a poor family.When the emperor really came to the throne, even though Concubine De was only a daughter of the Song family, many people were discussing who would belong to the successor—but the emperor never seemed to worry about this matter.The main reason why he favors Jing Rou is because this girl dares to speak, and her elder brother Shui Hao is also a descendant of Concubine De, so he is not very popular.Although there are still many people who now think that the position of crown prince is contested by the three kings of Qin, Chu and Qi, but Lin Mo said that these people are probably the same group of people who thought that the emperor would make Song the queen.

Although the Song family is honorable, they are no more respectable than the Kong family.What's more, the sons of the Song family who are officials in the dynasty are not outstanding. After all, Jingxian is the daughter of the Kong family, so she doesn't think the Song family's glory is so dazzling.

Even her Kong family can't match the serious royal family, even if the Song family is long, even longer than this dynasty, so what?The royal family may respect you, but it will never obey you.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Sister-in-law always tells me these things!"

Jingxian was a little shy: "I was young, I offended some people—" She was afraid that some people would take revenge on my sister-in-law.But thinking about it again, my younger sister also lives in the Queen's Palace when she enters the palace, the majestic mother of a country, will she see someone bullying her adopted daughter right under her nose?So he felt relieved, and even wanted to tell his younger sister to learn from her back then if she couldn't do it.

"You are also a big girl." Jing Xian felt that her body had recovered a long time ago, but it was a pity that no one allowed her to get out of bed, she felt itchy all over her body, so she asked Daiyu to sit far away, so as not to be smoked But Daiyu didn't smell it at all, and sat on the head of her bed generously, and showed her the half-finished work she had done—she had finally started embroidering big red mandarin ducks recently.

Lin Mo sent Xiu Lang back to the yard, there was a lot of commotion, but no one in the room asked, Jingxian also sighed at the self-cultivation of the servants of the Lin family, and finally asked: "What's wrong with your brother today? Is it? I don’t see him so happy like this before.”

Speaking of this matter, Daiyu also felt uncomfortable.She is not easy to inquire about, but there must be a reason for Lin Mo to ask someone to send his son to his wife who is still in confinement without any symptoms.She didn't ask Lin Mo directly, brother, who is normally kind, is scary when he gets angry.Although she knew that Lin Mo would never get angry at her, it was not good to see her brother's face that was holding back his anger. She originally wanted to persuade Lin Che to ask—the third younger brother has a thick skin, and Lin Mo is born again. Angrily, he pretended he hadn't seen it, and even made Lin Mo laugh by making jokes.Who knows, there is no need for San Houer to ask, he knows it himself.

"It's Xiu Lang. Didn't he have a fever a few days ago? It was frozen out." Lin Che curled her lips helplessly, "Brother Lang hasn't put on the quilt for several months, and when Brother Hang was born, he began to suffer from many illnesses. So what about the biological ones? This is loving children." At the end of his speech, he even shook his head like a grown-up, and deliberately put on a vicissitudes of life expression, "Woman——"

Daiyu looked at her amusedly.

Lin Che wrinkled the corners of her mouth helplessly: "Okay, I'll learn from Brother Jia."

Daiyu glared at him.

"It's useless for you to stare at me." Lin Che said, "I have to go to his house often these days. Brother Xi has to take an exam and has no time to come out. I can't talk to Suicheng, so I can only talk to him. Let's talk." Lin Che was determined to go to the frontier, and his elder brother went there by himself, but he didn't stop him, but asked his third younger brother to sharpen his guns and learn more boxing skills before going.If you get there, don't talk about curing illnesses and saving lives, and don't be like him who can't do anything to hold you back.Of course, the Lin family can afford boxing and kicking masters, but for martial arts, at least someone with some skills must be hired, but it is also wronged to ask someone of a certain level to come to their family as a temporary master for a month or two.Fortunately, the Rong family had a master, so he went to practice the most basic boxing and spear skills.

It's just that Daiyu always felt that this dead child didn't learn well. She went to the Rong's house a few times and became more and more glib. She might have been hesitant at first, but seeing that the wedding day was indeed getting closer, he didn't even send brochures and calligraphy to her room to avoid suspicion. up.Daiyu also understood that the more ashamed and angry she felt, the more amusing the child was, so she simply didn't say anything else, once he sent him back, she threw him on him, but later, she felt a little distressed.Those booklets, calligraphy and paintings are indeed rare.After feeling distressed once or twice, Lin Che went too far, even Rong Jia's copybook was hidden in a pile of booklets and sent in.Daiyu really couldn't bear it anymore, so she called him over and punished him to copy the "Book of Rites".

Lin Che felt that she was simply too unlucky.

Rong Jia immersed himself in helping him copy, while talking nonsense: "Okay, okay, I will give you a big red envelope when the time comes."

Lin Che suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Hey, why are you copying? Then my sister will have to say that I will show her your handwriting!" He hurriedly grabbed the pen and wrote the next page.

Rong Bai brought two maids to see what the two brothers were doing, followed by Yingchun, brought some fresh tea leaves, and asked the servants to cook them, a few people greeted the ceremony together, and saw that they were making a fuss again Only then did Rong Bai remember: "Che'er is not young anymore."

Lin Che remained silent.

He actually really wanted to know, Rong Jia was originally passionate about being a general, even if he was shrouded in horse leather, he would have no regrets, only wanting to guard the border and defend the country is a manly man.Although this was nonsense when he was a child, since he practiced boxing and kicking in order to go to northern Xinjiang, and Rong Jia strongly supported him, he couldn't help showing a little envy, which shows that he still has some heroic spirit and blood.It's just that such a person, because he became a son-in-law, might be tied up and unable to show his talents. Does he regret it?

Although he also felt that for someone like his sister, it would be good to stay in one place for the rest of his life.

But does Rong Jia think so?
