The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Jia Baoyu is a naive fool.Lin Mo turned around in his mind what he heard from Shui Rong, and came to this conclusion.

What kind of fool would it be to offend all the men with a word of stupidity, and offend all orders with a word of fishy eyes?If there is no so-called stupidity of the ancestors of the Jia family, what right does Jia Baoyu have for being innocent?Said to protect the flowers, the girls are delicate, why don't you see him pouring tea for the girls, washing their feet and making clothes?Now there are quite a few people in the capital who know the name of his capable maidservant. Such an unabashed idiot will never know how he will die in the future!

What's even more stupid is that the one who told others about the stupid things he did was his usual friendship.

Lin Mo didn't have the heart to fight a fool, but if the fool came to him on his own initiative, we would talk about it.

Coincidentally, Jiao Wang at the concierge saw that the car coming from Jia's mansion was wrong, and reported to Lin Fu, the steward. Lin Fu felt that it was shameful, so he told Lin Mo to know.Lin Mo laughed back angrily, "Come on, I'm trying to force you to scold me twice." He flicked his sleeves, "Please come to the hall to talk and listen to the songs, and tell the girl not to come out to welcome you. Ladies, go see her!"

Lingge complied, and went to Daiyu's room. Lin Mo, accompanied by Wenqin and Tingyi, went into the hall.As soon as they entered the living room, coincidentally, the sedan chair for the female family members of Jia's mansion also arrived at the second gate. Wang Xifeng came down first, with a hearty, bright and charming smile, followed by Jia Baoyu, followed by Baochai Xiangyun, and then Sanchun. sisters.Lin Mo met Li without looking sideways, and it was still Sister Feng who started talking and laughing.

At first, Jia Baoyu thought Lin Mo was disgusting and didn't take a closer look at it, but now he saw Pan An's face, with a beautiful face and a dignified appearance, but it's a pity that he was such a common man who was full of career and economics. He was thinking, Lin Mo Already sitting down with Sister Feng after dividing the guests and hosts: "Our family is in Xiaozhong, so we shouldn't invite sisters-in-law and sisters over, but I thought, my sister is bored at home. Although I am her brother, there is a difference between men and women, so please invite sisters-in-law to come over." Come and talk to my sister."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Brother Lin's kindness to Sister Lin is really rare."

"Left and right, I'm just this younger sister. Who do you love if you don't love her?" Lin Mo looked at the girls briefly, and Yingchun Tanchun only glanced roughly, because Xichun and Xiangyun were still young, and he didn't need to guard against them before he dared After a few more glances, "Is this the fourth cousin and the younger sister of the Shi family?"

Shi Xiangyun said quickly: "Isn't it us!" He said enviously, "Brother Lin and sister Lin are so nice."

Tanchun teased her: "A few days ago, you said that a brother like Baoyu is really nice. I wish he was your real brother!"

Xiangyun blushed and went to pinch Tanchun in shame.

Baochai laughed and said, "Yun'er is being mischievous again. This is a guest. Don't let Brother Lin see the joke."

Lin Mo felt that her eyes were strange, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, sister-in-law is getting rich."

Baochai's face suddenly turned red, and a brocade handkerchief in her hand was wrung out of shape. Sister Feng hurriedly said, "Brother Lin has admitted the wrong person. This is the daughter of my Aunt Xue's family."

Lin Mo first met this girl. Although she was dressed in a boudoir, she looked dignified and reserved. He also saw her teach Xiangyun a lesson, and she looked like a sister-in-law. He invited Fengjie, Li Wan, Sanchun and Xiangyun in his post. Thinking that there was more than one Jia Baoyu who came uninvited, Li Wan was a well-behaved man in Jia's mansion that day, and he never asked him to see him, and he didn't dare to look directly at the girls. He laughed and said, "It turns out that Miss Xue is my poor eyesight."

He wouldn't say that you have eyes but don't know Mount Tai.Li Wan is the daughter of Guozijian Jijiu, a chaste and righteous woman, but Xue Baochai is the daughter of a merchant's family. , and it is inconvenient to talk more with sisters-in-law and sisters, listen to songs, you can take the female guests to the girl's place!"

Lingge obediently agreed, leading Sister Feng to wait and was about to leave. Jia Baoyu hurriedly followed, and another big girl next to Lin Mo was so panicked that she heard the sound and stopped her: "Where are you going, sir? Over there is our Foreign men dare not enter the girl's yard."

Jia Baoyu was in a hurry to see Daiyu again, but he couldn't bear to hear the sound of the injured person, so he hurriedly said, "I am not an outsider of Sister Lin."

Lin Mo frowned, and threw the cup in his hand to the ground.

He didn't use any force, but the red-glazed colored porcelain from the Song kiln is the lightest and most fragile. When it hit the ground right now, it would fall apart with a crisp sound.

Lin Mo slightly raised his eyelids, glanced over Jia Baoyu's astonished face, and then snorted coldly: "Second Master Bao, I cherish that after you are Duke Rong, you have always been polite to you, but you said this To insult my sister's boudoir name with such a bastard, do you want me to take you?"

He is a serious first-class marquis, Jia Baoyu has neither title nor official position, and a serious Baiding.Lin Mo thought he could punish Bai Ding for insulting the reputation of the prince's daughter.

The girls had long been used to Baoyu playing with them in the boudoir, even Xue Baochai, who loved to talk about etiquette and etiquette, never cared about it. Hearing Lin Mo's words at this time, they thought it was a fantasy, and seeing Lin Mo again Although his expression was ugly, his voice was gentle. Baochai became bolder and persuaded: "Brother Lin doesn't know something. Brother Bao has always been close to sisters, and he has always been raised in the boudoir. He fights with sister Lin." Xiaofa, childhood sweetheart, has no other meaning, Brother Lin is too concerned."

As soon as the word "multi-hearted" came out, even Sister Feng Tanchun didn't feel like it. Baochai knew how to please Baoyu, and it was no big deal. After all, in Jia's mansion, the old lady loved Baoyu the most, but Xue Baochai's words were based on Lin Has Mo Dang Xue Pan taught him a lesson?

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "Oh, Brother Bao, you are here to talk to Brother Lin. You Brother Lin is the number one scholar, and you must be knowledgeable. You can talk to him and make the master happy."

This Baoyu is not afraid of heaven and earth, but his father Jia Zheng. At this time, after hearing what Sister Feng said, he immediately withered.

Lin Mo smiled and said, "I'm the most boring talking, because in Xiaozhong, there is no wine scene at home, so don't restrain the second master Bao." He ordered, "Listen to the song, what are you doing in a daze, bring your sister-in-law and the girl Let's go, don't tell my sister to wait."

Lingge pursed his lips and smiled, and took the female guests there. He acted politely and politely, which surprised Sister Feng: "There are a few girls in my family who are easy to handle, but you are not as handsome and witty as you, who hold their throats every day when they talk. , humming like mosquitoes, listening to them say something, I wish I could stamp my feet sorely."

Everyone laughed for a while, Tanchun laughed and said, "Ping'er won't be jealous if you say this."

Sister Feng said: "What's the matter if she hears it? You always talk flat in front of me, as if she is my little wife." Everyone suddenly laughed.

Seeing Lingge coldly, Sister Feng also rolled her eyes with a smile, but her attitude was still respectful, she didn't laugh with the girls, she sighed inwardly, what a neat girl!

Lingge took people to Tingyuxuan where Daiyu lived, and did not leave, but hung her head in the porch with Wenge Yayi Xueyan to listen to orders, but Zijuan was overjoyed when she saw an acquaintance. Wait for Sister Feng to sit down.

Daiyu grew a little taller than the day before, and she became more and more charming. Tanchun and others sighed and sighed, and sat down with her, only to see that Yuxuan is a big five-room house, and the maids and women are very happy. It's the rules, it can be seen that there is a degree of family management, because the two brothers and sisters are in the filial piety, there are not many bright things in the house, but although the color of the bottles and cans is not very good, it is a good thing for some years, Sister Feng is a good person , looked at the Lin family again in my heart, held Daiyu's hand and said, "Good sister. But she's a little thinner."

Daiyu said with a smile, "I'm not so thin. I'm at home. My brother treats me very well. I don't even take medicine these days."

Zijuan also said: "Uncle Lin really didn't tell the girl. A few days ago, the girl had a slight cough, so he invited the imperial doctor to see it, and asked for some folk remedies from various places. Now, the second grandmother also knows that Sydney It's hard to find, so Uncle Lin asked someone to find some to make soup for the girl, and he ordered the bird's nest and snow clam to be raised every day, so that the girl's health will be better."

She was originally a second-class maid by Jia's mother's side, but she was given to Daiyu, but she was a child of Jia's family. At this moment, she was talking to Mr. Lin, Wen Ge and Ling Ge looked at each other, then lowered their heads again, without saying a word.Daiyu's eyes flashed, and she didn't say much, she just said to Sister Feng and the others: "The other day my brother brought me two cans of tea, saying it was a gift from the emperor. , specially kept it, Zijuan, bring it to the second sister-in-law."

Sister Feng declined and said, "I dare not accept this imperial gift!"

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I stayed at your house a few days ago. My sister-in-law always got things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and never forgot me. I can only feel grateful." He added, "There is also something for the sisters." Things, Xueyan, you go and get them."

When everyone looked at it, they saw Xueyan brought a small box, opened it, but it was extremely exquisite jewelry, which was not unusual at all, because the luminous pearls on the back of the jewelry were so crystal clear that they were so dazzling.Daiyu said with a smile: "It was my brother who beat it, but I can't take it with me in my filial piety. There are two sisters, and this bead string is for the eldest sister."

Sister Feng jokingly said: "The eldest sister is only so old, good sister, if you are a good aunt, why don't you love me, sister-in-law, and give it to me!"

Tanchun smiled and nodded her nose: "What a sister Feng, you are grabbing something from your daughter!"

The sisters chatted and laughed for a while, but Baochai, who claimed to be dignified and stable, sat by the side. She liked to teach others as the elder sister, but today, Sister Feng was here, and she couldn't talk about it, so she had to sit by the side. , secretly angry.

She is always proud and arrogant. Although she was born in a merchant's family, she always thinks highly of herself. After living in Jia's house for so many years, even the old lady Mrs. Wang often praised her as more beautiful and sensible than the Sanchun sisters. As for Sister Lin, she is just an orphan, and she is not as generous in her actions, and she has been buried in private by Mrs. Wang and others for a long time, how can she be compared to her?However, today in the Lin family, after hearing about it, Sister Lin became the daughter of the Hou family. She was untouchable, and the gift she gave was tea leaves from the imperial court and Yeming pearls, but she was secretly compared to her!

What's even more inappropriate is that a few days ago, she asked Zhou Rui's family to send some palace flowers to the sisters. Although they were delicate, they were last year's style, and they couldn't compare with these fashionable jewels!However, she has always been proud, so she didn't say much, she just declined: "I never liked these flowers and fans, since Sister Feng likes it, I'll give mine to Sister Feng."

She had intended to be humble on purpose, this young girl, which one really doesn't like red makeup?It's just to make a demure appearance, and besides, whenever there is something good, Mrs. Wang can always think of going, she is also afraid, so she simply leaves the room as empty as a snow cave, and doesn't bring it with her. What accessories, fortunately she is young and beautiful, although others look at her plain, they only say that she is a good housekeeper.

Unexpectedly, Sister Feng ignored whether she was really humble, clapped her hands and laughed, "That's great, I'll just say that my cousin is kindhearted!"

Daiyu said with a smile: "Look at Sister Feng, I have also prepared gifts for my sisters-in-law. If you are tired, the second sister-in-law will also send some to the elder sister-in-law. In the past, thanks to her for teaching us how to sew, the second sister-in-law said thank you for me." .”

For a while, the host and the guests enjoyed themselves, and Sister Feng, Xiangyun, were laughing and joking, and Daiyu was outspoken. The sisters just laughed and laughed, but forgot Baoyu who had stayed in Lin Mo's study.

This Baoyu is also unlucky, Lin Mo has been studying for so many years, and his classmates and fellow villagers in the past are not as ignorant as he is, so Lin Mo didn't plan to teach him much, but just took out a book of etiquette, He actually imitated the master in Taixue and talked about books with Baoyu.

This Baoyu hates reading the most. First, he made an appointment with Qin Zhong to study at home, but it was only three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. At this time, he was scratching his head and wishing to go home, but he saw that Lin Mo had a gentle voice and a smile. Junya couldn't help but said: "Cousin Lin has such a good character, why bother reading these Laoshizi books!"

Lin Mo frowned slightly, but his voice was not displeased: "I am not as lucky as Second Master Bao. I was born in a duke's family. If I don't study, who will know my name, Lin Mo? Heaven and Earth My parents gave birth to me, but they didn’t tell me to live in obscurity in the world.”

Baoyu was even more displeased when he heard that, and thought, it turns out that Cousin Lin is also such a person who seeks fame and reputation. It's a pity that Sister Lin has such a character, and what will she do in the future after following such a stupid brother Lu.

When it was time for dinner, Lin Mo left Baoyu for dinner, and listened to the song to report that Daiyu also kept her sister-in-law and sisters for dinner at Yuxuan. Lin Mo nodded and said yes, and ordered the small kitchen to prepare more good dishes The female family members of Rongfu tasted the dishes of Jiangnan.

Baoyu ate with Lin Mo sullenly. Although the dishes were exquisite and not inferior to Rongguo Mansion, he was thinking about how Yuxuan's sister Lin could eat.Lin Mo called a second-class maid named Hong Tao to lead him to his room for a lunch break.Although Baoyu didn't like the structure of his room, fortunately he didn't have those humane and sophisticated words, and knowing that Cousin Lin was different from other relatives, he couldn't help him to mess around, so he had to rest silently.

After the lunch break, Lin Mo dragged him to talk about the book for half an afternoon, until Sister Feng sent someone to say that she wanted to go home before she was relieved.Before leaving, Lin Mo gave him another emblem inkstone.Then I asked Mingyan to wait for Haosheng to wait and go home.
