Daiyu of the Red Chamber has an uncle

Too much, helpless, can only focus on her paintings.

The difference from Qin Xiaoxiao is that Liu Sanniang obviously has not undergone systematic study and training, and her brushwork is not as steady as Qin Xiaoxiao's, but it is different from meticulous painting. She splashes ink into paintings, and she does have a bit of talent. She is watching from the sidelines Bai Erniang also nodded.

"Girl, if you like it, you might as well stay by your side. It's not bad to be a companion." Bai Erniang rarely suggested. She saw that Qin Xiaoxiao and Liu Sanniang were both pretty good, so it would be appropriate to be a companion or something.More importantly, from Lin Mu's point of view, Lin Daiyu also intends to train some capable subordinates, who should be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future. At this moment, while the child is still young, raise him by his side and teach him well, so he can rest assured in the future .

Lin Daiyu nodded, indicating that she understood.

Watching the play here lively, the little girls looked at Qin Xiaoxiao and Liu Sanniang with envious eyes, showing their slight dissatisfaction.On the other side, Lin Mu was also entertaining his good friend and best partner, Du Ruo who had just rushed back from the south.

At the beginning, Lin Mu chose to settle in Jinling City, not only because it was the central city, but also because of the convenient transportation here.And his good brother Du Ruo took another fleet to the south, with the map provided by Lin Mu, plus the excellent warship of Yinying, and a group of good hands on board, the operation of stationing in the south was very smooth, even extraordinary. mission accomplished.At this moment, in addition to the various strongholds that have been established, several lumber chiefs have also been established to further process the precious lumber everywhere there, and then transport them to other places through Silver Eagle's transportation network.

It was rare for the two to meet each other, so naturally they had endless things to say.When what he wanted to say came to an end, Du Ruo asked about the girl who was sitting next to Lin Mu just now, that is, Lin Daiyu.

When Lin Mu saw him asking carelessly, the look in his eyes changed suddenly. Only now did he remember that Du Ruo seemed to be only 25 years old...

22. Going home to worship ancestors

"What? Are you going to give me a good introduction?" Looking at Lin Mu's appearance, Du Ruo knew that he was thinking again, "Don't worry, that little girl is not to my liking, you know, I don't like this kind of thing "For Du Ruo, the one who can marry back home as a daughter-in-law must be the combination of the four wives, Lin Mu.It was also because of this that at this age, he was still single, and he didn't even have a servant around him.

Lin Mu was stunned for a while, and then he came to his senses, and joked with his brother with a smile, "Come on, I don't feel at ease to hand over my niece to you. What's more, you are still a child at such an age, don't you?" Knowing that, I thought there was something wrong with you, who would trust me to hand over my daughter to you? To be honest, you don’t have any special assumptions about me, do you?!” As he spoke, he punched Du Ruo with his fist.

This is not a joke. Many people really have this suspicion. After all, a 25-year-old man has never been close to a woman, even if there is no man around him, the voice of discussion has never stopped.Fortunately, Du Ruo himself is very capable. In the face of absolute strength, all these can be attributed to the envy and jealousy of others towards him.

"It's not that you don't know me. The master said that if I hadn't found someone who I want to be with for life, I still have to practice my martial arts hard. Only by maintaining a virgin body can I improve my martial arts." Du Ruo took a sip of his wine and complained about his own shortcomings Brother, "I'm not like you. I have adventures everywhere, and there are beauties to help me. Poor children like us should work hard on our own."

"Tsk~" Lin Mu was speechless, saying that he was like someone who eats soft rice, which is really annoying, but he is powerless to refute.

The two brothers chatted cheerfully, with Qin Yan and the others interjecting from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.Speaking of the next plan, Du Ruo was very moved by Lin Mu's trip to the south of the Yangtze River. He has spent these days in the south, and he is also yearning for a place like Jiangnan, "Why don't you take me with you? I'll drop by Jiangnan has a little fun, and then goes back around."

From Jinling to southern Fujian, it still passes through Yangzhou.

Although spring is the most beautiful season in the Jiangnan area, the scenery in late autumn is also worth seeing. Unlike southern Fujian, which is warm and humid all year round, it looks like winter anyway.Du Ruo thought, when he has nothing to do, it would be good to see the snow, not to mention, he has been staying in southern Fujian, and he is a little bored.

Before Lin Mu nodded, Qin Yan and Du Ruo had already discussed the various arrangements after arriving in Yangzhou with Du Ruo. Seeing that they were chatting in full swing, Lin Mu couldn't bear to interrupt, and went straight to drink.There were no outsiders at the table, and they were all very casual, as they pleased.

The luncheon was followed by the dinner, some people stayed to socialize, some left first, and some just stayed in the yard without going out.The people who came to the door at night were all the people Lin Mu had met in the court these days. Except for the old wealthy families who were not dispatched, the upstarts came to visit one after another. Some people did not show up, but the ceremony did.

When the lanterns first come on, the lanterns in the garden of Yingwang Mansion are more beautiful than those on the street.The servants guarded an area by category, and they would receive a lamp when the visitors guessed the riddles correctly. The outer and inner courtyards were going on at the same time, which was extremely lively.

Waiting for the big guys to recite poems and have fun, and it was half-empty in the first month of the moon, before they left drunk and went home.Lin Daiyu sent people away one by one, and took Qin Xiaoxiao and Liu Sanniang to resettle them.It was only an afternoon's work, and their families had already delivered their cages.Seeing such a scene again, Lin Daiyu secretly sighed in her heart, but she also made up her mind and decided to treat them better in the future, including the maids in the house.

The finishing work of the Mid-Autumn Festival is still going on, the hosts cleaned themselves up and went to rest, and now people have to continue to work.Finally, in the middle of the night, the butler took people to supper, and gave each of the big guys a thick red envelope, which only made them smile. Some little girls stayed up all night excitedly, and were killed the next day. The nanny in charge scolded her for a while, but she didn't feel decadent at all.

Lin Daiyu hadn't been so tense to do something for a long time. On the second day, she went to bed late for the first time.When she rushed to the old gentleman's place for class, he was already sitting at the desk reading a book. She lowered her head in shame, quietly returned to her seat, and started a day of study.

Unlike Lin Daiyu who returned to normal life, Lin Mu's life became more and more busy. These people who came from afar needed him to meet one by one, and a lot of news needed to be consolidated and distributed again.Du Ruo and Qin Yan helped sort it out, and some of it was handed over to Hongxiu. After working for several days, it was finally finished.

In the past few days, Qin Xiaoxiao and Liu Sanniang have fully integrated into Lin Daiyu's life and become her little assistants.Qin Muxue allocated some work for Lin Daiyu, and asked her to take time to deal with it in the afternoon every day. Liu Sanniang followed her, and Li Xiang didn't dare to hide his secrets. She helped and taught her, and she quickly got started.Such a regular life made Lin Daiyu temporarily forget many things, including the things about Jia's house that she had always kept in mind.

Lin Daiyu didn't react until all the preparations for going south were made and she was told that she was about to leave.

Thinking of the news she had inquired about Yingchun and Xiangyun, who were living in dire straits, she didn't know how to give her a hand even if she wanted to.It is estimated that this is pity for his misfortune, but anger at him.Lin Daiyu thought, maybe my uncle feels the same way about me, and I must learn more from my aunts in the future, stand up first, and others can help if they want to help, right?

Casually mentioned something to Qin Yan, asking him to pay attention to it, Lin Daiyu put the matter aside for the time being.Yes, the poor guy Qin Yan was left by Lin Mu to watch the house, saying that he trusted him the most, so he entrusted this important task to him.Lin Daiyu still remembers how dejected and shocked Uncle Qin was when he received the news. She couldn't help laughing when she thought about it, what a treasure!

Returning to the hometown to worship ancestors is a major event, and everyone attaches great importance to it. For this reason, Lin Mu specially allocated three extra-large boats, packed all the prepared things, and set off with relatives, friends and subordinates.

The Eagle King has always been high-profile, and many people in the capital are watching. Looking at this lineup that is even more luxurious than the emperor's tour, they can't help but shake their heads.The rich and powerful looked down on this kind of flaunting behavior similar to the nouveau riche, but some of them were very envious, and some secretly sweated for Lin Mu.Perhaps Lin Mu is used to being high-profile, and His Majesty the Emperor didn't care about it. He already knew that money was coming in quickly by sea, not to mention the Eagle King who controlled several routes. Unfortunately, until now there is no definite news.

Contrary to the guesses of the ministers, His Majesty the Emperor is still in a wait-and-see state about this matter. He has endured for many years and defeated several princes before he succeeded in ascending the throne.Lin Mu is a man of great talent, and he will never act rashly until he is not sure of the other party's true intentions.

He used the trick of flattering and killing with ease, but he didn't know if Lin Mu would take the bait.

Taking the boat again, Lin Daiyu changed from her previous quietness and became much more lively. Being pulled by the red sleeves, fishing in the sea, sunbathing, she turned dark twice.

Traveling with Lin Mu, the supplies are all the best. Along the way, there are boats going back and forth between the shore and the boat to deliver fresh ingredients.Occasionally, he would bring some new things from the shore to Lin Daiyu and his wives, which often made the female family members smile.In fact, it does not lie in the preciousness of the things, but in the freshness, which is also due to people's intentions. Therefore, as the rewards continue to flow, more and more people give things, almost
