The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Rong Jia's errands made Lin Mo jealous.As soon as he heard that Lin Mo was ill, he hurried over. He walked in a hurry. He didn't have the patience to sit in a carriage. He came here on horseback. When he got off the horse, he almost fell down, scaring the servants of the Rong family and the Lin family. There was a big jump.He jumped up casually, and ran into it nonchalantly, followed by a group of boys who were noisy and nervous.

Daiyu had just come to visit her elder brother, and she couldn't help laughing when she heard the commotion outside, so she was led by Lingge to the green gauze cabinet in Lin Mo's room to avoid it.

Lin Mo helplessly yelled at Rong Jia who was jumping in, "Aren't you going to report to someone? What does it look like to be in such a panic?" Rong Jia jumped to his bed and said, "Cousin How are you? I heard that you were so angry that the old woman surnamed Jia vomited blood? Brother, you are too. You are too unmannered to be angry with yourself because of that screwdriver. I don’t know, I rushed to find abuse, and you really are.”

Thinking of Daiyu in the green gauze cabinet, Lin Mo coughed a few more times angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?" while winking at the green gauze cabinet desperately.

Rong Jia is also a person who can read words and expressions, thinking of the women and maids surrounded by Lin Mofang when he came in just now, and immediately thinking of Daiyu's presence, his face turned red all of a sudden.He tugged at the hem of his clothes at a loss, and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, are you in good health?"

"No." Lin Mo wanted to spit at him, "I said, did I owe you something in my previous life, and I'm here to collect debts like this."

"I didn't do it on purpose," Rong Jia muttered softly.The thirteen or fourteen-year-old child is just growing up. I haven't seen him for a few days. His stature seems to have grown a bit. Although there is still some baby fat on his face, it looks like a slender bamboo pole when viewed from a distance. It looked like a restless monkey, making Lin Mo wonder if he was getting old.

"Be more prudent next time. Don't be too small. Don't ask the superiors to say anything about you." He thought for a while and said, "If you talk nonsense, you will suffer."

"Cousin" Rong Jia stretched her voice coquettishly.

"You think you're fun and good-looking, and you can't be ashamed." Lin Mo was finally amused by him, "Go outside and ask if my medicine is ready? Stay here for a while and have a light meal with me."

Rong Jia understood, and ran out quickly, Lin Mo gave Ling Ge a wink, and Ling Ge went to help Daiyu out.Daiyu's complexion was fine, but her eyes were also flushed.Lin Mo said cautiously, "Don't pay attention to that idiot, he's just a kid, he doesn't know anything, he's talking nonsense."

Daiyu interrupted him: "Brother, I know what people want. I also know what people think about our family. I'm not a fool."

She was never a naive person.It's just that the previous situation prevented her from thinking too much, now that someone is protecting her, she dared to think about the matter, not to mention what Sister Feng said that day also made her remember it in her heart.Rongguo Mansion is indeed much dirtier than what they said.She is so smart, how could she not understand?

Although Rong Jia's straightforward words made her feel embarrassed and sad, but her grandmother's behavior made her feel even more chilled. No matter what, her brother was so angry that his grandmother vomited blood, which could not be faked.

Rong Jia lingered in the kitchen yard for a long time, until Ling Ge ran out to find him before he dared to go back to Lin Mo's room: "Cousin, cousin Lin was here just now."

"You are confused. Dare to say anything." Lin Mo glared at him. "What should I do if I scare my sister? Believe it or not, I will really beat you."

"You may not be able to beat me." Rong Jia muttered, took off his boots and climbed onto his bed, "I didn't know my cousin was there, and I was shocked just now." Hehe With a smile, he turned his head away: "My cousin should have told me from the beginning, it made me think nonsense. Didn't you really scare my cousin?"

"Why don't you care about my sister." Lin Mo kicked him hard, "Get under the bed, you think this is your own home." Lingge and Wenqin were holding white fungus stewed cabbage heart, shredded Guo'er, duck with salted vegetables came up with a plate of mushroom soup, a plate of winter melon pork ribs soup, and their two cousins ​​made vegetables, and poured Rong Jia a glass of millet wine.

"I'm nourishing my stomach now, so I don't dare to eat those good ones. It's a pity that you have to eat these with me." Lin Mo ate with warm soup, and greeted Rong Jia, "If you don't like it, ask Wenyin to give it to you again." Make a few."

"How dare you bother Sister Wenyin." Rong Jia is not a picky eater, and now a few dishes are still to his taste. He filled a bowl of mushroom soup and ate a lot of duck.

They eat without speaking and sleeping without talking, although the two of them are also lively, but when they are eating, they don't make a sound at all. Listening to songs, Wenyin, and Wenqin are waiting on the edge of the kang, back and forth While walking, I could only hear the occasional crisp sound of interlacing hairpins and rings touching bowls and spoons.

It wasn't until he put down the bowls and chopsticks, picked up the teacup to rinse his mouth, and each of them drank another cup of Biluochun carefully, that Rong Jia said: "Don't my cousin like bitter tea, why don't you love this one too."

"I'm afraid of death." Lin Mo choked Rong Jia and rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you need to be on duty whenever you can't move? Are there really so few things in Taichang Temple?" Lin Mo took a cup of red dates and longan tea, wondering if he would get angry on a hot day, and took a sip. Then, he couldn't hide his contempt and three-point envy, "You can't be lazy, can you?"

"They always say I'm young and don't need to do much." The original words of the officers must not be so considerate. What kind of evaluation can a 13-year-old child get?However, Rong Jia is good at turning all malice into answers that make him comfortable. He is also happy if he is not assigned to work.What's more, he is delicate and well-behaved, and he is eccentric. Gradually, the officials of Taichang Temple also regard him as a junior, no different from the children in their own family.He approached Lin Mo quietly, and said in a low voice, "Master Shaoqing said that we are not the emperor today, so we certainly don't have many chances to show our faces."

The Taishanghuang played a lot of tricks, if it wasn't for the fact that the household department was short of money by wasting people and money, he would have liked to go to Mount Tai every year.At that time, Taichang Temple was too busy to touch the ground.Lin Mo is in charge of the Ministry of Households now, and knows the pitiful amount left in the national treasury when the Supreme Emperor abdicated. Fortunately, the emperor "doesn't like his father very much", especially he doesn't like to run outside.Probably because this throne is so hard-won, and you have to sit for twelve hours a day to get back the money.

But Rong Jia was so happy.

Mother has been in Beijing for a long time, and she said that she wants to go back together with father when he goes to Beijing to report on work in autumn and winter.Now walking around among the women's families in Beijing, apart from taking cousin Lin with him, he also has the intention of thinking about his official career. It seems that his father is also ready to resign.

The era when the Rong family was at the forefront because of his father's official position is about to end, and now he is the only one left who is down-to-earth, step by step, and no matter where he climbs.He doesn't have the ambition of his cousin, his father has raised the Rong family to a higher level, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble, that's enough.

What's more, there is an older brother in the family.

No matter how much his cousin and elder brother hate iron and steel, he lives a small life comfortably.After drinking the tea, he picked fruit to eat again, Wen Yin came up to peel the fruit for him.Lin Mo looked unhappy: "Where are the girls in your room?"

Rong Jiaman didn't care: "I don't have the good fortune of my cousin." The family traditions of the Lin family and the Rong family are very different. The Lin family used to be very strict with their children, but the population of the Lin family is dying, so they try their best to pick girls in the man's room. I chose some good-looking ones. Although the eldest son is still the most important thing, a family like them always wants to have prosperous descendants, and the son-in-law is also taken seriously.The listening to songs and listening to music in Lin Mo's room were given to him by Lin Bai himself. Although the most important thing is Wen Ge, but it is not without other thoughts, but Wen Ge is not a big hearted girl, and she is dedicated to serving Uncle, he went to serve the girl again, and what he thought in his heart was that someone who had taken off his slave status and married into the pharmacy would be the main wife.

And Lin Mo also abides by the rules, he doesn't know if there is a roommate in the room, but he only knows that this cousin is not an aunt who has no face yet.My mother had mentioned it secretly, but it was a pity that my cousin had already engaged in marriage, otherwise, the third sister would not have to marry to Huaiyang, and Lin Mo, who knew everything, was obviously a good match.

But it's nothing compared to the girl from the Kong family.

The fourth sister is the more pitiful one, that Liu Xiangru, not to mention anything else, but his own sick body, although he is agile, but with that face, it is estimated that the fourth sister will not be very happy in the future.

But the girl's marriage is decided by her parents, and what Rong Mingqian decides, even the fourth younger sister who is like a small wild monkey has no guts to refuse.Although their family didn't quite understand why Rong Mingqian had a crush on Liu Xiangru, Rong Jia could only grit his teeth and agree.

What bothered him the most was that although the Rong family's letter had already been delivered to the Liu family, Liu Xiangru had never invited the Iceman so far, but an aunt in their family had mentioned it.Naturally, their daughter's family would not take the initiative to propose marriage, and the attitude of the Liu family was really shocking.

Thinking in his heart, he complained to Lin Mo a few words.But Lin Mo said: "Liu Xiangru? That's a character? You can tell with his body that he can pass the exam, have that kind of skill, and act so experienced. This person is cruel enough to him, and he knows what he wants. What, his future is limitless."

Rong Jia muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, and then said: "This is my cousin who is rude today, and my cousin will apologize for me in the future."

"What's not to be abrupt, you just need to stop talking nonsense in the future. My sister is not a stingy person." Lin Mo said casually, "You don't have to worry too much."

"That said, Cousin Lin is quite different from my sisters." Rong Jia scratched her head.The girls he met when he was young were the sisters in his own family who "don't like red clothes and prefer armed forces". It was quite a surprise, after all, it was the first time he met such a talented, quiet and delicate girl.

Lin Mo shook his hands, and strongly resisted the urge to splash jujube tea on his face: "Go, go, go, try to mention my sister again."
