The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Jingxian received Aunt Xue's post, but she was not in a hurry, and sent a few women to get the money to drink tea, and then glanced at it: "The words can be said to be mellow and grand." Daiyu happened to be holding her hand next to her. A brush brush carefully traced the rockery in the garden. Hearing this, she leaned over to take a look, and said with a smile, "It's Sister Bao's writing." Jing Xian raised the pen and asked, "How do I reply to her?"

"Sister-in-law is the master." Daiyu moved the paint dish to the side of the stove, took the hand stove handed over by Zijuan, and covered her fingers, but suddenly found that there were a few words behind Baochai's post, and the handwriting did not look like Baochai's was just about cooking wine and waiting. She sneered, but said nothing.On the other hand, Jingxian's eyes were sharp, and she saw that the last line didn't look like it. Seeing that the sister-in-law was not willing to mention it, she called Chunxian, the maid behind Daiyu: "Go and see what the third master is doing? Just say what I said, It's so easy to take a vacation, don't stay in the study all day, help me see how this post should be answered."

"Sister-in-law wants to go?" Daiyu wondered.

"Your brother is planning to go there, and I don't know what's the matter with him, but he told me to cool the Rongguo Mansion, and now it's cold, and their house still has posts." Jingxian said, "We will have to pay attention to it later." How about entertaining the third brother's two masters in Tai Hospital, who has time to take care of them."

Chunxian has always been clever in handling things, and quickly replied: "Grandma, the third master will come in a while."

Because her brother was not at home, even though she was young, Lin Che didn't dare spend more time with her young sister-in-law, so she kept her head down and kept silent, and she still brought Yun Chu with her.

Lin Bai always chooses girls who are older and prudent for her son. For example, Wen Ge, who was next to Lin Mo at the beginning, and Yun Chu, who is next to Lin Che at the moment, are both smart and gentle. After advancing and retreating, he dared to pick out thousands of choices and put them next to his son.Yun Chu is a little different from Wen Ge, she used to be a second-class girl by Lin Han's side, but the year Lin Han got engaged, she went to beg Lin Bai's family to follow the third master.Lin Che was still young at that time, she served her wholeheartedly, and gradually became the first person in his room.

Now that Lin Che brought her here, she didn't speak, and stood at the other end of the table with a smile on her face to grind ink for the third master, waiting for the third master's order.

Jingxian said: "I sent someone to ask. Imperial Physician Song doesn't need to be on duty tomorrow. You have been learning from him in the imperial hospital. Our family invited him to eat, drink and watch a show."

"I'm afraid Master doesn't like to go to the theater, but the good wine at home is about to be displayed." Lin Che wrote a post respectfully and presented it to her sister-in-law and elder sister.

Daiyu saw a piece of apricot flower paper with a brocade plum pattern and wrote the sentence "It's like snow in the evening, so I can drink a cup." She couldn't help smiling and said: "It seems that the master of the third brother is also a wonderful person."

"The technique of Qihuang is about a patient who reads ten thousand books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and no matter how much he learns, he is not as useful as seeing patients. Although we are the sons of a family, my father left early. In the past year, I have not seen many cases of patients after all. The masters have been apprentices in the Imperial Hospital since they were young. After so many years, they have already been able to distinguish people by hearing their voices. They are very capable. I can learn something from them. "The Lin family In the disaster in Shanxi, the damage was severe. Many people said that the Lin family is now old and young, and those skills are probably lost. Whether it can be as brilliant as before depends on the water. older generation.

Lin Mo started his official career, Lin Han wanted to start a family business, and lacked talent in medical science, but Lin Che, although a little irritable, had a pure heart, and loved to study prescriptions on weekdays, and his family knew it well, Lin Qing The person who inherited the skill in this house is probably the third child.Therefore, Lin Mo was also very attentive to his younger brother's master at the Imperial Hospital.

"How do you reply to Xue's post?" Jing Xian still asked.

"The Xue family? Which Xue family?"

"That merchant's family." Jingxian said, "I read their family's post, and their girl and younger sister get along well." Daiyu replied: "It's not a good relationship, has she lived in her uncle's house?" After a while, I was taken home by my elder brother. In my impression, she loves to preach, and the servants of Jia's master all like her."

Lin Che was straightforward, and said after hearing this: "Since she is the daughter of a merchant family, it is really easy to put on an appearance of getting along with everyone. If you give me a few pennies, I will say that I am considerate." My servant, with one or two people around, I can't wait to blow myself into the sky. What I don't like most about them is that they are obviously licking their faces in various ways to please and profit, but they still have to act like It's for your good looks, the second elder brother manages Shanrentang, and he has to meet such villains from time to time, I feel really sorry for him."

Daiyu laughed and said, "It's just talking about Xue's family, which caused you to talk. Merchants pay more attention to profits, so it's inevitable that some people don't like it. If you ignore them, you will lose your reputation."

Lin Che thought for a while, and said, "If my sister-in-law wants to go, I don't need to go back and ask someone to talk about it. Don't go back and talk about it. My sister-in-law is a serious concubine who replies to a businessman's post." , It’s not good for others to hear.” Added another sentence in a soft voice, “If their ancestors donated money to help Taizu achieve great things, it would be flattering for Tangzi’s shopkeeper to reply to his post.”

When it came to Tangzi's shopkeeper, Daiyu also had thoughts: "I don't know how Wen Ge is doing now, she has served me for two years, and I haven't given her anything good."

Yunchu heard the words and blessed Fushen: "Miss Xie for your concern, my sister should be fine. We have met Shopkeeper Xia's family before, and they are the most kind. My sister has everything she needs after she gets married, and she is also decent. Thanks girl."

Daiyu wondered, "Hey, do you also hear the song?"

"She was my own older sister." Yun Chu smiled, lowered her brows, and asked Jingxian softly, "Grandma, shall I call someone back to the Xue family?"

"Go." Even Jing Xian also felt a little strange. It's not uncommon for a family to have children and a family of sisters to serve men, but Wen Ge and Yun Chu can be regarded as dignified servants, and it's only now that they know that they are relatives. sisters.On the contrary, Daiyu took a closer look at Yunchu when she heard the words, and saw that she was pretty in color, although she had restrained a lot of aura, she still looked bright and playful, her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Wenge's, but one was gentle and the other was light. If you don't say it, you won't see any connection.

"Then grandma and the girl are going? How about the uncle and our third master, will we go? But what else do you want to say to the Xue family?" Yunchu asked again.

"All of them will go, and so will all their men." Jing Xian nodded.

Yunchu then walked out of the corridor, and stretched out his hand to recruit a servant: "Go to Shen Bao's family, and ask her to arrange for someone who is smarter to go to Rongguo Mansion, and answer the wife of Xue's family. Go, Mrs. Xue has something to ask, just answer if you know, don’t talk too much if you don’t know. Go quickly and ask Shen Bao’s family to reward you with fruit.”

"This girl is not simple." Jingxian looked at her Tingting figure in the corridor, and said to Lin Che, "The third younger brother is very lucky." She thought in her heart, but she just didn't know how lucky the third younger brother and sister would be in the future.

Yunchu waited in the corridor for a while, and heard the boy reply: "Sister Li called Aunt Tian." So he asked with a smile, "Aunt Tian?She is your sister's godmother.Then I will go in and go back to grandma, you have worked hard. Just as he was about to walk in, he suddenly saw Lin Mo walking slowly into the garden, followed by two young men holding umbrellas, and said with a smile, "Master is back!" "Looked at the time again.

"It's not snowing, it's just that it's windy. Tell them to hold umbrellas to keep out the wind." Lin Mo passed her, and didn't want anyone to wait on him. After entering the house, he took off his cloak and threw it to Yun Chuhang who followed behind. Hao stretched out his fingers and inserted them into Lin Che's collar.

Lin Che shrank her neck suddenly from the cold: "Brother, what are you doing!"

"Ha, a child is a child, and it's warm." Lin Mo covered his hands again, then retracted his hands, and sat down with a smile, "When I came back, I saw someone sending a message to Song Taiyi? Is it tomorrow?"

Lin Che replied, "Yes."

Daiyu watched the two brothers get close, feeling a little sour in her heart, and handed her hand stove to Lin Mo. Lin Mo smiled and said, "Hold it yourself, I'm fine." Then he touched her head: "I'm still drawing. What about painting? I was curious a few days ago, why do you two draw together every day." Pointing to one place, he said, "It's better to leave this place blank."

Jingxian pursed her lips and said: "There are two idle clouds here, the most free and easy. If it is empty, wouldn't it look too wide?"

Lin Mo didn't care, but continued to rub Daiyu's head: "It's a cold day, don't worry about your fingers getting cold, it's a pity you can't eat spicy food, Shui Rong just gave me a cook from Hunan today, and he said he was good at cooking Vegetables, it’s good to eat a pot in this cold day.”

"Actually, I checked my elder sister's pulse last time. In the past few years, my stomach has been well adjusted. However, since my elder sister has a cough, I really can't eat too spicy food, but it shouldn't be a hindrance to eat after rinsing. Add some warming food to the pot. It's very lively to eat together." Lin Che interjected, "I showed you Fang Zi a few days ago."

Lin Mo said: "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, how many times have I told you not to study these things by yourself." He said so, but there was no reproach in his tone.He glanced at Jing Xian again: "Is Princess Bei Jing okay?"

"Everything is fine." Jingxian replied.

"I want an extra serving of beef." Lin Mo continued to order, "It should be marinated well, and the fishy smell will be gone."
