The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

It was already very cold when Rong Jia left, and the examination room was as cold as ice. Fortunately, Rong Mingqian also had a background in scientific examinations, so he was well prepared for his son, and Rong Jia's own health was not bad.Otherwise, according to Lin Mo's mind, he probably couldn't think of anything to prepare for him-although he is used to being careful, but when he is off the field, he will be fine, and he will run around with his husband when he was young, and his physique is not as big as that of other pampered families Similarly, after the exam, he was still in good spirits, in stark contrast to the scholars who were carried out.He was selected as a member during the examination, and there was also a reason why the examiner was extremely satisfied with his calm performance.But Daiyu recalled that Lin Hai once told her that the food in the examination room was extremely difficult to stomach, so she asked the kitchen to prepare some snack soup, and prepared a soup for Rong Jia.

"You don't need Mrs. Tang, the water in it is not hot at all, and it would be useless to put it in." Lin Mo said, "What are you going to do with this?"

Rong Jia glared at him: "Good brother, we have known each other for so many years, you really take good care of me."

"Come on, you are alive and kicking, do you need this?"

Zijuan, who came to see off Mrs. Tang, said: "Master, please forgive me for talking too much. The things in there are indeed not very good. Earlier, Mr. Zhu from Rongguo Mansion was carried out of the examination room. Although he won the Jinshi, he couldn't be rescued. You haven't put on the imperial clothes until now, Second Master Rong has to take care of your body." She was always thoughtful, she used to look at Baoyu well, but now she looks at Rongjia and thinks it's not bad.

"For no reason, what are you scaring him for?" Lin Mo held Rong Jia's wrist to give him his pulse, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if you are so weak, even those cold people in the eating place Soup and cold rice are fine."

"That's what a brother said! I don't believe you can say that to your sister."

"She is my own younger sister, and you are my cousin. How else can someone say that it's three thousand miles away." Lin Mo patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Okay, let's go, I'll take you there."

After sending Rong Jia away with his own eyes, Lin Mo went back to the house and called to listen to the song: "Go and tell Wen Ge, there are a few girls in the girl's house who are getting old, and it's time to beat them."

Ling Ge was taken aback: "Master..."

"You know, if you guys can't take care of it, the nanny will. If the nanny is useless, it's quite boring to have to ask me."

Lingge hurried to find Wenge in the garden.

Wen Ge also stared wide-eyed: "Master really said that?"

"No."

"It's not that we can't see what Yayi is thinking, but the uncle grew up on her mother's milk, how dare we really hit her." Wen Ge was puzzled, and listened to the song: "I guess what the uncle meant Yayi, Yayi probably really offended the uncle, I'm afraid the uncle will do it himself."

Wen Ge was surprised: "Who is that?"

"The girl brought the one from the Rongguo Mansion. I don't know what happened today. On the big day of the Second Master Rong, she ran to say something about the grandpa and grandma of the Rongguo Mansion. I looked at it, and it seemed that she had something on her mind. It's fine. Anyway, it’s just to make the uncle unhappy, this girl has been with the girl for so long, if her mind is wrong, and the girl’s reputation is shamed, then we don’t know how to die! Let me tell you, don’t worry about her being familiar with you I'm not familiar with you, you have to scold what you should scold, and you have to say what you should say, since the uncle asked you to take care of the girls in the girl's house, it's fun to be scolded by the uncle if you can't manage it."

Wen Ge thought over and over again, and this was the only way to go.

"When we are slaves like this, what we are most afraid of is not being punished by the mother, but being thrown out by the master. Do you know why? Because we are born in a family, and my mother and I are slaves. We grew up in the master's family since we were young. It's serving tea and water, and I haven't carried a hoe or planted rice seedlings. Once I'm thrown out, even my wife can't continue to serve my master. What is our little ability when we go outside? Those people in the village, look at us. She seems like a lady who can't do anything, but she knows how to needle and thread. How can a small family need us to do such delicate work! They only need a daughter-in-law who can weave linen cloth for a few pennies per meter! Some girls, follow Master has learned to manage things and accounts, what's the use? People who need to manage things and accounts, who would want a maid to come in!"

Zijuan's face turned pale, and she forced a smile and said, "What did my sister say this is?"

Wen Ge said: "I'm just reminding you. The master's affairs are decided by the masters themselves. There is absolutely no such thing as us girls who speak in front of the master. You have only met a few people. If you think this is good, then that is good." Yes, and tell the girl."

Zijuan hurriedly lowered her head, but her heart was secretly depressed—the reason why she thought Rong Jia was not bad, was because she heard Wen Ge and Lin Mo's words, so she couldn't say what Wen Ge said?She is even closer to the girl!

However, ever since I heard that Yayi was graciously released from slavery by the uncle and married to a farmer in the village with 40 taels of silver as a dowry, I can only think about it, and I can't say it anymore.

She has no intention of being the uncle's nurse's mother. If she offends the uncle, the consequences...

Seeing Zijuan's change, Daiyu felt a little relieved—after all, she didn't want to personally punish Zijuan who had been with her for so long, but why was she always nagging in the girl's ear what a foreigner looks like?The marriage of a girl's family is the most outrageous aspect. Even if the marriage has already been established, the sisters-in-law and sisters at home will feel ashamed if they joke a little bit. What is the difference between Cui Yingying and others?If Zicuckoo is so outspoken again, she will have to say a few words.But how to punish the servant girl for this kind of thing?

Fortunately, I heard the song properly.

Daiyu sighed after thinking about it. When she was in Rongguo Mansion, it would be great if Mother Jia gave her such a suitable girl.

Because of her elegant intention to marry someone, one of the big girls in Daiyu's house was lost. Lin Ke's housekeeper, who was in charge of accepting gifts, received a soft hand, and felt panicked. He hurriedly discussed with Lin Mo. Lin Mo said: "Go ask the girl, she will see Which second-class girl is good, just mention it. If you don't know the basics, you have to think carefully before entering the girl's house, and you want to reach the sky in one step."

Lin Ke's family quickly agreed.

"I know what some people are thinking. You go back and tell those people that there is a rule in our family that slaves are at most allowed to pass through the house, and there is no rule for aunts. Talk to those girls and their mothers." .”

Lin Ke's restrained face: "Yes."

"Clean up the house for Second Master Rong, he will be back soon. Are the carriages ready for the pick-up?"

"It's all good."

When Rong Jia came back, his energy was not good - he fell asleep almost as soon as he got into the carriage, and it was still a few young men with thin hands and feet who carried him back to the house.Lin Mo was taken aback, and came over to show him the pulse in person.Sighing: "I'm tired." He ordered, "Prepare the porridge for Second Master Rong. When he wakes up, don't let him eat too much. Drink some porridge as a cushion."

"Yes."

Rong Jia didn't wake up until dusk. When he opened his eyes, he asked for water and food. The maids served him to eat, and he felt better. He called hot water and took a good bath.When it came out, it finally looked like something.

He went to see Lin Mo first.

Lin Mo is in the study room, with paper and pens on the table: "Silence your article and let me read it."

Rong Jia didn't refuse, and just picked up the pen to write, and spoke eloquently and silently.

Lin Mo took a look first: "Writing has improved."

"Cousin really thinks I'm still the kid with the snot a few days ago?"

Lin Mo smiled, read it carefully, and said: "The allusions are not bad, and the article is neat. You can see the foundation, but after all, lack of experience, I am afraid that the second-class will be suspended."

"The same background as Jinshi is not bad." Rong Jia said, "It's just that this year's question is really unsure."

"It depends on the examiner's preference."

Rong Jia said: "Anyway, it's a matter of luck, I don't think so much. Is there any clue to what my cousin promised me? My father gave me money to buy a house in Beijing. I live alone, but it's okay." It doesn’t need to be too big, but it’s good enough.” Lin Mo smiled and said, “Okay, I know how you were brought up, I’ve seen two places, you can go back and take a look with me when you have time.”

The cousins ​​of the two aunts were chatting happily, and on the other side, Mother Jia was discussing with the housekeeper about inviting Rong Jia over for a drink: "I thought, Brother Lin's relatives are naturally relatives of our family, not to mention that Rong's family is in Shandong. , After all, it is the governor of a province, how close we should be."

Jia Zheng sighed, "My son thinks so too." He added, "That brother Rong, who is younger than Baoyu, has come to an end. Baoyu is outrageous, hey——"

Jia's mother was displeased and said, "What's wrong with Baoyu? Didn't you just say that he has made progress a few days ago? Then Brother Rong is finished, and I don't know how his grades are. I heard that he was carried back? You forgot?" Did you miss Pearl?"

Jia Zheng didn't take it seriously, but he didn't dare to disobey Jia's mother, so he had to agree.
