[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

After Lin Qing left the palace, he did not go home immediately, but went to the market for a stroll first.

Since he got married, Gongsun Liang never asked him to buy dim sum, but Lin Qing was used to going to the market at this time every day.

He was originally a "street slipper" character. When he first came to Beijing, he wandered around with nothing to do, so he knew where there were delicious and interesting places.

Now thinking that I couldn't come here for nothing, I thought about buying some delicious snacks for Shenjiao and Daiyu to take back.

It's midsummer now, and cooling off the heat is the top priority.

Lin Qing specially went to the shop he used to frequent to buy lychee cream and Bingxue cold Yuanzi.

Listening to the name can cool down and quench your thirst.

Because Lin Qing is familiar with the road, Lin Qing didn't take much time to buy and go home. When he got home, he was only a quarter of an hour later than usual.

Lin Qing asked people to send the purchased snacks to the small kitchen, and ordered them to be served as refreshments after meals, and then went to the hall.

in the hall.

Lin Qing sat and waited for a long time before Shen Jiaocai and Daiyu arrived late.

Lin Qing stared at them for a while.

"Are you hot?"

Both Shenjiao and Daiyu's faces were flushed, and sweat was still dripping from their foreheads. They didn't bother to reply when they heard the words.

Shenjiao drank half a bowl in one go, while Daiyu drank it slowly in small sips.

"Yu'er and I are kicking shuttlecocks in the backyard! Who kicks the most in the competition?" Shen Jiao put down the bowl and breathed a sigh of relief, "Guess which of us won?"

Lin Qing didn't even think about it, "You must win, Yu'er's physical fitness..."

Before he finished speaking, Shenjiao and Daiyu laughed together when they heard a "puchi".

Daiyu smiled more gracefully, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, while Shenjiao was much brighter. While patting Lin Qing on the shoulder, she smiled at Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, it seems that your uncle is very ashamed of his Tanhua's one, I don't even know the allusion of 'Three Days of Farewell', just like Lu Su of Sun Wu, he sees people with old eyes."

The ridicule between the words is very strong.

Lin Qing knew that Daiyu had won, and was a little surprised at Daiyu's current physical fitness. It seems that the medicinal materials in the palace are really not in vain.

After dinner, the small kitchen served lychee cream and ice cold Yuanzi.

"Is there a lychee here?" Daiyu tasted the lychee paste.

Then he scooped up another spoonful of ice-snow cold yuanzi, and exclaimed, "Where did you buy it, uncle? It tastes so icy and sweet."

"How do you know it was bought by your uncle?" Shenjiao used ice and snow to cool Yuanzi, and suddenly felt a coolness emanating from the inside out, and most of the irritability caused by the hot weather disappeared.

Daiyu said with a smile: "Uncle is very knowledgeable and knows how to buy strange things. Some snacks are unheard of, but he can buy them every time. I have never seen the cakes on this plate, except for uncle. No one would buy this 'tricky' dim sum."

Shen Jiao was amused by Daiyu's words, raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Qing: "Did you hear that, even my niece called you 'tricky'. It can be seen that your uncle has not set a good example, so you are called a joke by the younger generation."

"What's wrong with being tricky? Didn't you hear Yu'er say that I'm 'well-informed'? Although these snacks are not worth a lot of money, not everyone can buy them." Lin Qing's tone couldn't help being proud.

"Whatever Yu'er wants to eat in the future, just tell uncle, because it is 'rare in the world', uncle will buy it for you!"

Daiyu replied sweetly: "Thank you uncle!"

Only Shen Jiao spat at Lin Qing with a chuckle, making fun of him for being a big man, not yet in shape, like a child, getting more and more proud of such a trivial matter.

The evening time passed so happily.

In the wing room, the couple were changing clothes and getting ready to rest.

Lin Qing suddenly remembered the "Princess Nanping Mansion", thinking that Shen Jiao grew up in the palace, so she might know, so she asked, "Ying'er, have you heard of 'Princess Nanping'?"

Shen Jiao changed her clothes by herself, and was changing for Lin Qing. Hearing this, she replied without raising her head, "I know. What's wrong?"

"Then do you know Li Yifang?"

Shen Jiao changed the clothes for Lin Qing, and put the changed clothes on the hanger.

"Isn't Li Yifang the youngest son of Princess Nanping? I saw him in the palace when I was young."

Lin Qing and Shen Jiao went to bed one after another, and then chatted on the bed.

"Princess Dachang..." Lin Qing muttered to himself.

"Could it be that this princess is Imamami's aunt?"

When Shen Jiao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"It's not just an aunt? In terms of seniority, Princess Nanping can be regarded as the grand aunt of today!"

"Grandma?" Lin Qing was very surprised, "Isn't Li Yifang just in her early thirties? It's past her forties now, why is his mother so senior?"

The great aunt is my grandfather's aunt.

"You don't know about this. Princess Nanping is the youngest child of Emperor Gaozu. She is about the same age as the Empress Dowager Wenhuan, but she is a generation older than the Empress Dowager. The two have a very good personal relationship, and they call them 'sisters' in private. , or Empress Dowager Wenhuan should call the princess 'aunt'."

"Oh..." Lin Qing was thoughtful.

He remembered meeting Li Yifang at Shuyao Zhai that day.

"That princess must be dead."

Shen Jiao glanced at Lin Qing, "The princess passed away more than ten years ago, but Prince Concubine Li is still there, and now he is at home to spend his life at home. He is the highest seniority among the royal relatives."

"Since the princess is gone, why can the children still live in the Princess Mansion?" Lin Qing's knowledge is not very clear. In his opinion, the princess is gone, and it is still called the Princess Mansion, which is a bit...

"Of course you can live!"

"It's an ordinary princess, even if the princess is gone, the children can continue to live in the mansion."

Lin Qing grasped the key point of this passage, "According to what you said, compared to ordinary princesses, this Princess Nanping is quite unusual?"

Shen Jiao nodded, "Of course. The Empress Dowager Wenhuan gave the princess grace, and when the princess and her son-in-law are both dead, their eldest son can attack the Marquis and change 'Princess Nanping's Mansion' to 'Nanping Hou's Mansion'."

Lin Qing immediately stood in awe.

Darling, this capital is really full of princes and nobles.

Li Yifang, who has been so unrestrained, has such an unusual family background.

After this topic was over, the two of them still didn't feel sleepy, they lay on the bed and looked at each other speechlessly for a while.

In the end, Shenjiao spoke first.

"I'll discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Lin Qing rested her head on her arms, staring at the bed curtain above her head in a daze.

Shen Jiao turned over and fell on Lin Qing's chest.

"I see, Yu'er's body is similar now, it's time to go for a walk."

Lin Qing let out a "huh".

"Yes. You still need to teach her more about communication."

Shen Jiao raised her head when she heard this, and looked at Lin Qing fixedly.

"I didn't say that."

Lin Qing was puzzled, "Then what aspect are you referring to?"

Isn't it to bring Daiyu into the circle of ladies and ladies for socializing?

Shen Jiao shook his head, "No. Although everyone is a lady, she has always been dignified and virtuous, but "dignified and virtuous" is far from enough. Talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can cultivate sentiment, but they must not be forgotten. 'Strengthen his body'."

"Indoor games such as throwing pots and shooting are just exercises for intelligence, but not for physical improvement. I grew up with my aunt, who taught me polo, cuju, and chuiwan when I was very young. , horse riding, and even sumo wrestling, over the years, not to mention how lean, but the physical fitness has improved a lot, and the mind has also opened up a lot."

"You want Yu'er to learn this too?"

Shen Jiao nodded, "That's what it means."

"Actually, I'm not the only one who is learning. Like the princesses and princesses studying in the palace, except for those who are too weak, they will basically take the initiative to learn this skill."

"Hmm..." Lin Qing pondered for a while, "Ask Yu'er for her opinion, if she wants, take her to learn."
