The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Mo smiled at his younger sister, not knowing whether he was happy or sad, sourly, he asked Daiyu in detail about her recent diet - the bird's nest every morning and evening, the usual decoction, and the winter food. How are the clothes and bedding prepared, whether she slept well at night, whether she needs to buy more jewelry, whether the gadgets bought for her by the boys are suitable for her, and even how she looks like when she has fun recently.

Daiyu looked at her brother's careful look, and suddenly felt an indescribable pity. If her brother treated her sister-in-law like this, their relationship would be much more harmonious, but this is really not something that an unmarried sister-in-law should interrupt, so she can only use Looking at his elder brother with such eyes, he was worried about his future at the same time.

Even a good man like her brother may not be able to become a good husband, so who can she rely on in the future?Undoubtedly, her elder brother will become her best support, but if she becomes someone else's family, it's nothing more than troublesome elder brother for five or ten years, and she can't always beg him.

If she dare not think.

"Master will go back to Jinan in a few days. She will bring Wen Ge with her. Have you chosen the maids in your room?" Lin Mo casually glanced at the big maids in her room. Nian has also calmed down a lot, not to mention Wenqin and listening to the music, he looked at Wang Momo, "I will have to worry more about the girl's affairs in the future."

"What are you talking about, sir? It should be the responsibility of the old slave." Wang Momo hurriedly said, she is not young anymore, she has already reached the age of being served and filial, but she still devotes herself to the orphan girl of her old employer. He tried his best to take care of her, and even planned to give the girl as a dowry, and will continue to take care of the girl at the uncle's house in the future.

Daiyu was very reluctant: "Auntie wants to go back to Jinan? Why don't you leave after the new year?"

"She wants to go back to Jinan for the new year. After all, the second daughter-in-law is young, and the Lin family is considered a common surname in Jinan. During the Chinese New Year, there are many things to do, and I can't survive without a wife who is in charge." Lin Mo's words were sincere, no matter where she was At home, there are some older and higher-ranked people, and those who celebrate the holidays can always relax.

Although Daiyu was reluctant, she also understood Lin Mo's meaning, she just said: "Once Auntie leaves, sister-in-law will have to worry about things outside the house."

In fact, when Lin Baishi and Kong Jingxian were not around, their lives were not too hectic.Lin Mo wanted to say this, but he didn't open his mouth. He can be regarded as a man with a family and a business. It is different from the lonely situation when he first entered the capital. Now, more than half of the people in the capital recognize his status, and the social activities are different from before. .

What's more, at that time, their brothers and sisters were observing their filial piety, and there were no activities.

Jingxian really has to work hard now.

Lin Mo thought, she had to go to Jing Xian's place later.It's not easy for the husband and wife to see each other only when they have something to do. He knows he is not a good husband, from all angles.Lin Qing and Lin Bai have respected each other as guests all their lives, and they have never been too close. Since childhood, he thought that the way of husband and wife is like this, supporting each other.However, Mr. Kong is not someone like Lin Bai who puts more importance on the children's family fortune than anything else. He can't apply what his husband and wife did to him.

He walked to his wife's yard with an indescribable mood, thinking about things all the way, and told him to come out of the heat, and took off his fur coat as soon as he entered the house.

The maids in the room were overjoyed when they saw him coming, so Xi'er went to call Jingxian.Lin Mo asked, "Is your grandma still in the Buddhist hall?"

Que'er's smile faltered, not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, Lin Mo didn't care about it: "Is there any good tea here in Jingning?"

"There is tea, there is tea." Kong Jingxian didn't care much about it herself, but the little girls below inquired about Lin Mo's preferences, and hurriedly brought tea and water, and asked, "Two days ago, grandma stewed it for uncle. The red date soup, is it alright for you to drink it? It’s boiling in our room now, if you like it, would you like a cup to warm your stomach?"

Lin Mo glanced at the girl who was talking, and found that she was young and handsome, with a bit of aura in her brows, so she sneered, "Ziyang Maojian, didn't Brother Jing Luo bring a lot of things to your grandma earlier?" Well, let me try it too."

The little girl was slightly poked at the elbow by Que'er, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to say, and didn't dare to say too much, so she responded and went down to make tea.

Lin Mo calmly drank half a cup of tea before waiting for Jing Xian.

Some people say that Jingning County Lord has lost most of his vigor since he became the concubine of Jingyuan Hou, and his person has become more and more cold. When I walked into the room with the unique fog of this season, I couldn't help but think that she has become more and more unrecognizable now.

Jingxian wanted to salute with him, but he was supported by him: "Sit down, drink the good tea from grandma, don't feel bad."

"How dare you." Kong Jingxian was quite polite, "Master came to see me, but do you have something to explain?"

Such a couple Lin Mo almost laughed out loud.He looked at Jing Xian unhurriedly, until she felt cold and trembling when she was watched.

Kong Jingxian knew from the first day she married that her husband was not the same type of man as her father and brother.In other words, he has the kind of killing and decisive temperament that only his grandmother has.And her pride in her family is usually a head shorter.She has lived under the teachings of her parents since she was a child. The identity of the Consort's daughter is like a strong shackle. Except for Changsun Yu who is an anomaly, everything else seems outdated.

It's just that in the Rongguo Mansion, when she heard that Sister Yu's so-called practice was so close to a demon king in the world, she suddenly realized that her mind had long been branded with the imprints of "Women's Rules" and "Women's Ring", which framed her. The standard by which things are measured framed.

She couldn't accept such a grandson Yu.

But now, her belief has collapsed, but the Buddha has not become her new belief. She can only read those boring scriptures over and over again in the Buddhist hall to make her heart feel calm.She even felt a little humiliated, and she didn't want to show these in front of Lin Mo, who had always been superior to herself.

But she knew she couldn't hide it.Lin Mo even knew all his thoughts from the very beginning.

She waited tremblingly for her husband's ridicule and admonishment, just like her mother often did when she was a child.

But Lin Mo just looked at her with a smile: "Master is planning to go back to Jinan for the New Year, and you will have to worry about the chores at home again. It's getting colder, don't just sit in the Buddhist hall for so long, you are still young Well, things like counting Buddha beads are intentional, can't you ask the old mothers to do it? You bought some jewelry for your sister, but you forgot to bring some, Liu mother didn't remind me."

Jing Xian stared at him blankly.

"The Buddhist hall is quiet. When I can't figure out something, I also like to squat in the ancestral hall of my hometown. When I was seven years old, I almost squatted there for half a summer. Listening to the cicadas outside the house made me feel better. You have been thinking about it for a long time, but what have you figured out?"

Her lips trembled a little, her fingers were pinned white by her wide sleeves.

Lin Mo stretched out his hand to hold his wife's hand: "It's okay if you don't understand it. You are so old. If you figure everything out now, life will be boring. Keep it slowly. If you really can't figure it out Just ask me." He smiled very gently, just like him.

When Kong Jingxian was not married, Jing Rong mentioned Lin Mo many times in front of her—"Sister, don't worry, Mr. Lin is a good man, he will take good care of you."

In fact, apart from his renunciation, Lin Mo really deserves her praise. He never flirts with women, and although he has no interest in her, he is filial and considerate, and basically never loses his temper. In addition, he is dignified and full of knowledge, he can be regarded as a well-educated person.After working in the household department for so long, I have never seen him enriching his own pockets. Even if his father came, he probably couldn't tell him there was anything wrong with him.

He would indeed be a very good husband if he wanted to.

"Princess Beijing is happy, and it's been a while now. You can go and see her when you are free. Don't you have a good relationship? Go out and walk around more." Lin Mo thought that Kong Jingxian's current temper was caused by herself .Back then, he was afraid that her arrogance would cause him trouble in the circle of married women in the capital, so he didn't approve of his wife going out to socialize, but now it's too much, and he himself regretted it.

Jing Xian bowed her head and remained silent.

Lin Mo sighed for a long time, but did not let go of her hand, and said in a low voice, "Jingning."

This man is gentle enough to make women all over the world listen to him, Kong Jingxian thought so, and suddenly felt pain in her eye sockets, and she couldn't even stop her own tears.

"Powder and powder pollute your face, leave your eyebrows to be painted." He gently recited another makeup reminder poem when he got married that day, his voice was so weak that it didn't sound like it was loud on weekdays, "Obviously we don't have to make ourselves sad like this ,Is not it?"

A man's aspirations are all over the world, temples and halls, women can see, but there is only the husband who climbs higher and farther, even if he leaves his heart, so what, you hold the scepter and walk farther than the husband, No one dares to despise you.

Her grandmother's admonitions had bored her, especially now.

A thought that she had never had before suddenly popped up in her head.

This man who is trying to become omnipotent, he needs a good wife, for his future prosperity, one person is under one person and above ten thousand people.
