The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Che went back to her room, feeling ashamed or angry. He had listened to his elder brother's orders since he was a child, and it was the first time he had spoken ironically to Lin Mo. Thinking about it, I was still a little scared.

The eldest brother is like a father. Although Lin Mo is not strict, after all these years, Lin Che is still in awe. It was too late at this time, otherwise he should have apologized immediately.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Yunchu, the eldest girl beside him, laughing in the yard: "Master, the sister Xueyan next to the girl is here to deliver something to Master." He responded, lifted the curtain and went out, and saw Xueyan was standing pretty in the yard with a purple casserole in her hand, followed by three young maids who only kept their hair on their backs, holding brand-new bedding and cotton padded clothes: "Master, this is what our girl drove out with us a few days ago." , Originally I asked the uncle to send it to the Imperial Hospital, since the third master is staying at home these few days, we and the girls hurriedly made it just now, the needle and thread at the back are a bit rough, don't be surprised by the third master."

Lin Che hurriedly said: "How dare I, it's just troublesome sister again, I haven't worn the clothes she and sister-in-law made for me last time, Yunchu and the others are usually not idle, so it's really unnecessary to work so hard."

Yun Chu also said: "Sister Xueyan called us like that, how can we do it? She even sent it over in person, it's so late in this cold day..."

Xueyan put down her things, and said: "How dare you? Our girl repaired a bad relative like Rongguo Mansion, and also implicated the third master. If we don't rush to repair it, are we still waiting for the third master to scold her in front of the girl? If we slaves don't flatter the third master, don't we really have to wait until the third master drives us out, then it will be too late."

Lin Che was startled, and said, "Sister Xueyan, what are you talking about?"

"Don't be like this, third master. Say what you have to say. Our girl can hear you. Don't say it to your face. Don't say it behind your back. The girl said it. The master has been clean all his life and has never done anything wrong. Let’s embarrass the Lin family. If the third master dislikes us, there is nothing we can do. It’s getting late today, and the girl asked Sister Wenyin to persuade her to go to bed. Tomorrow, the girl will lead us to Suzhou in person, and kowtow to the third master to make up for it. I beg you, sir, to be generous!" Xueyan said while her eyes were red, "We don't think we have offended the third master, as soon as we meet the third master, the girl treats the third master as her own brother, and the girl has some The third master must have, why did the third master bury us like this?"

Lin Che was anxious and thought: "I am only worried about my brother's official career, but I have forgotten my sister's feelings. It's just that we are the only ones in the mother's room. Who told me to listen to my sister?" It's my fault, I deserve to die, and I made my sister angry by talking thoughtlessly." Regardless of the night, he immediately went to Daiyu to make amends.

Although Xueyan said that she was angry for Daiyu, she knew that she had made a slip of the tongue. Thinking of Lin Mo's methods, her face turned pale with anger or fright, and she cried, "Third Master is going now, do you want me to die?"

Lin Che stomped her feet and sighed, "It's my fault after all."

Xueyan saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so she wiped her tears and said: "The third master doesn't know our girl's temperament, and she likes to think too much. On weekdays, she cries even when she looks at the moon and flowers. She treats people really badly." Sincerely, I don’t need to be a slave to talk too much, the third master can figure it out after thinking about it for himself. I just ask the third master to give us a way to survive in the future!” She was also afraid after she finished speaking, thinking, I must be dazed, three The master is not Baoyu, so he can talk nonsense. Judging by the way the uncle treats his servants, the third master is not willing to fight with the slaves. Although the girl will definitely protect me, I'm afraid I will make things difficult for her again!

Lin Che just said in shame: "It's all my fault for being reckless."

Yunchu saw that something was wrong, so he entered the room in the outer courtyard a long time ago, and when he saw the two of them getting emotional, he fetched a basin of water: "Sister Xueyan, don't be angry, I don't know how the third master offended the girl. I'll apologize to you on behalf of the third master, you should wipe your tears quickly, in this cold weather, you can't be angry with yourself." At the same time, she had to help her wash her face.

The two little girls following Xueyan also timidly helped Xueyan to wipe her face.

Lin Che himself was young and had to be on duty at the Grand Hospital. Lin Bai didn't dare to get him many little girls to serve him. Yun Chu was originally the daughter of his nanny, and she was much older than him. The first person, she came out, the others dared to come out, handing out towels around the snow geese.

Xueyan wiped away her tears, and felt embarrassed herself, and seeing Yunchu treat her politely, Lin Che also had an apologetic expression on her face, and she felt embarrassed too, so she quickly stopped Yunchu and said, "Sister, this is going to break evil spirits." Me." Yun Chu smiled and said, "Sister Xueyan is looking down on us. Although these flowers and powders are not good enough, sister will use them anyway to make us feel at ease. The third master is our master, since he offended us Missing the girl, we naturally cannot avoid the item of compensation."

When Xueyan was told by her, she was even more frightened, she had always had no idea, even in Rongguo Mansion, as Daiyu's only maid who brought her to Beijing, she also listened to Zijuan's words, and now she is even more panicked: "Third Master..."

"It's getting late, what is the girl doing?" Yunchu asked again, "If you haven't rested yet, the third master might as well go to accompany him now, they are all his own siblings, who are closer than real siblings , Miss is generous, she will definitely forgive the third master." She said while looking at Xueyan, Xueyan hurriedly said: "When I came, Zijuan was trying to persuade her, she probably had already rested."

Lin Che thought for a while, then withdrew into the inner room, and didn't need someone to grind it. She grabbed the pen by herself, took a deep breath to warm the remaining ink in the inkstone, and hurriedly wrote a few lines, and handed it to Xueyan: "Sister Xueyan, please take it back. , if my sister hasn't rested yet, please ask her to take a look, everything is my fault, and I will take the blame by myself in the morning."

He spoke sincerely, and Xue Yan had no choice but to agree.

Daiyu leaned against the bed rail, feeling angry and impatient. The Rongguo Mansion failed to live up to expectations, and Lin Che was implicated, and perhaps her elder brother was also implicated. It was right for her to complain a few times, but she was sincere to her family, and she ended up saying nothing. How can you not be sad if you are still suspicious?Suddenly I remembered that Xichun used to say in the past: "They did such a thing, I just wish I could cut off contact with them!" She didn't have such thoughts as Xichun, but she couldn't help thinking, what a sinful account .

But no matter what, Lin Che shouldn't say that about her father.

Zijuan stood by her side helplessly, and did not dare to persuade her. She was born in the Rongguo Mansion, and her status was already embarrassing. Wen Ge was there before, she was old and experienced, so she could persuade her, but it is a pity that now Wen Ge is getting married. Living with Lin Bai's, it can be considered that the master's family flattered her status. It is hard for Wen Qin and others to say anything about her third master. She expected Xueyan to say something, but it was a pity that Xueyan was sent by Daiyu to give Lin Che a gift. thing.Thinking about it in my heart, I thought angrily: "What should I do for him, and I don't know what to do. Our girl is relying on him, Mr. Lin, to live!"

Just as she was thinking, Xueyan walked in quietly: "Miss, are you asleep?"

Zicuckoo whispered into the room, frowned and shook her head.

Xueyan was courageous, and shouted inside: "Girl, I sent the things to the third master. The third master said that it was late and it was inconvenient to come to see the girl. He will come in person tomorrow. He wrote a letter to the girl. Miss Do you see?"

Zijuan was anxious: "Damn girl, what are you doing? Do you think the girl is not sad enough?"

Inside, Daiyu said, "Bring it to me."

Lin Che's handwriting is not as vigorous as his elder brother's. He is a medical student, and his handwriting is quite uninhibited. Daiyu sighed at the good handwriting when she got it, and then read: "My Lin's For a hundred years, it started from a humble beginning, practiced medicine to help the world, benevolent, modest and courteous, and the only one who wanted it was a false name. My father died in righteousness, the elder brother supported the younger brother through hardships, shouldered the responsibility of life and death for the whole family, the phoenix cherished the feathers, Jin Ling is ashamed of being soaked in dust, rubbing the mud and hurting the crown, and regretting it." Unconsciously said, "What is this writing! I only thought that although my brother's articles are good, he is not talented enough to write poems. It turns out that my brother It’s also like this.” But he couldn’t help thinking in his heart that he had some conscience.

Xueyan was still waiting outside the curtain nervously, and couldn't help saying: "Girl, sister Yunli next to the third master is still waiting for the girl's reply outside."

Daiyu's heart moved, and she asked, "It's so cold, why did my brother call for someone?"

"The third master originally planned to come to make an apology in person, because I said that the girl has already rested. Although they are brothers and sisters of the same clan, there is a difference between men and women, so I didn't come here."

"Ask a few servants to carry the lights and send Yunli home." Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "Ask her to ask Che'er if the cotton coat fits well. By the way, my surname is Lin, so don't treat me as a outsider."

Zijuan secretly wondered, when did she see Daiyu calm down so easily?In the first few years when she was the closest to Baoyu, Baoyu would have something that offended her, and she would ignore him for at least a few days. What Lin Che said this time was so heartbreaking that she shuddered when she heard it. How could Daiyu be so angry? Calm down easily?

Daiyu herself secretly remembered what Kong Jingxian said to Zijuan when she overheard the words of the two Lin brothers: "Although Brother Che is sensible early, he is still young after all."

She also suddenly remembered that Lin Che was only under thirteen, and at this age, she was still in someone else's house and still having sex at the knees of her parents. Even she herself was just embroidering flowers in the boudoir, but Brother Che was already on duty in the imperial hospital. After going through that point, the wind sword frost knife.She lost her mother since she was young, and Lin Che also lost her loving father when she was young. As an orphan and widow, she walked to Beijing step by step, seeing Lin Mo as her only support, and complaining was simply nothing more than an easy thing to do.What's more, Concubine Yuan's behavior really put this 12-year-old child into a dangerous dilemma, and all of this is indeed because of the Rongguo Mansion.

Once guilt gets the upper hand, there is not even a moment of sadness left.

Early the next morning, Lin Che really came to make amends early. Daiyu's room was quiet, not even a cough could be heard. Lin's family style was very strict. , but Wenqin and the others didn't have the guts to serve the third master respectfully.Zijuan was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet, but seeing the seriousness in Lin Che's eyes, she suddenly lost her courage.

After a long while, I heard Daiyu's calling, and Zijuan hurried in to serve her.Lin Che's eyebrows twitched, but she still sat quietly.

After a while, I saw Daiyu wearing a sapphire-colored padded jacket with a pinched waist, wrapped in a long deerskin gown, with her hair in a low bun, staggering out, no powder was applied, she felt very beautiful, Although he is young, he also knows that his sister's appearance is considered to be very good, so he blushed and hurriedly stood up with downcast eyes: "I'm here to make amends for my sister."

"Get up quickly." Daiyu asked Xueyan to support him, "I should have apologized first."

Lin Che had always been reticent on weekdays, and she often lived in the imperial hospital. The servants of the Hou Mansion sometimes felt that the third master was not as popular as Rong Jia. It was only at this time that Daiyu let go of the embarrassment when she first met, and carefully I looked at my younger brother carefully, and saw that he was slender, with delicate lips and eyes, and two sharp eyebrows with a heroic spirit. He should have seen wind and rain. At a young age, his complexion was not as fair as that of ordinary sons and sisters, but he couldn't tell. nice.She smiled: "Has the third brother had breakfast?"

"Not yet, I'm going to say hello to my mother in a while, and I want to try Nanny Cui's handicrafts by the way. My sister doesn't know, Nanny Cui's shredded pork with pickled vegetables is a must. I loved it when I was young. It is served with millet porridge. , the most refreshing." Lin Che smiled, "Sister will go with me?"

Daiyu said: "You are not very old now, so you started talking about your childhood." She sighed again in her heart.

Lin Che giggled silly, pursed her lips and lowered her head, feeling extremely obedient.
