Lin Ji's struggling life

When Lin Ji entered Jia's mansion, he was taken to the living room of the main courtyard. Jia She and Jia Zheng sat on one side, and he also bowed politely to meet the two uncles.

Lin Ji's attitude towards Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng was quite good, even though he knew well that the Jia family had fallen.But for him, it is more than enough to deal with these two people. Lin Ji has extensive reading of poetry and books, extensive knowledge and knowledge, and has experienced two lifetimes of precipitation, so he is naturally more transparent.

He chatted with Jia She about fun things, and he could talk about business, and he got a lot of hobbies from the capital's dudes from Jia She.Talk to Jia Zheng about rites and music classics. Although Jia Zheng is pedantic, it is undeniable that most people in this era agree with him. Anyway, he will enter the Imperial Academy in the future. There are many scholars who are stupid. And those old scholars may be even more terrifying, he should rehearse in advance.

And Jia Lian, who was by the side, secretly complained that Lin Ji was double-decker, and he never saw him have such an attitude towards him when he was in Jiangnan.But he didn't dare to say too much, after all, judging from the attitudes of Jia She and Jia Zheng, Lin Ji was in a terrible situation.

In this way, chatting and chatting, an afternoon passed like this.

After class, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan were taken to the study room to meet Lin Ji, his cousin who was in love.Although Lin Ji has no blood relationship with the people in Jia's mansion, he has been recorded under Jia Min's name, so he has become a direct cousin.

When Lin Ji hadn't arrived, Jia Baoyu was still secretly criticizing in his heart, why should he be so dazed by fame and wealth, and plunge into the filthy court hall by himself.

When he stepped into the study and saw Lin Ji with his own eyes, his heart was full of joy.It was really rare for him to see someone as transparent and intelligent as Lin Ji, who was really as delicate as made of crystal, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but turned to Lin Ji, and felt a slight intimacy.

In fact, Jia Baoyu prefers women made of water. He often said that women are made of water and are pure and clean, while men are made of mud and are filthy.But he had no resistance to a beautiful young man like Lin Ji, so he made friends with Lin Ji before Jia Zheng introduced him.

"This is the cousin of the Lin family, right? Will my cousin stay with me when he comes this time?" Baoyu Baza asked with big eyes, "If you stay here, our cousins ​​will be able to kiss each other. Cousin, I've heard a lot about you, are the rumors true? Are you really that good?" After speaking, I used honorifics.

"It's all rumors, and it can't be true." Lin Ji said one sentence at a time, turning Jia Baoyu's flicker around, "My sister and I just arrived in the capital, and we still need to visit the people we are close to one by one. Waiting for things, we will naturally I came to pay my respects to my ancestors. Besides, we all live in the capital, so it’s convenient for us to get close.”

Kissing ghost, why didn't he see them kissing him when he was preparing for the exam in the capital? It's just to see that he has achieved fame now and can enter the court as an official in two years, and I heard that he is quite loved by the emperor. , just pasted it over.

"So cousin will live in the capital? That's great, I can take you to some famous restaurants in the capital." Jia Baoyu warmly invited him. He studied in the ethnology of Jia's mansion and knew most of them. The child of a family attached to Jia's mansion, "There are some friends who can introduce you, and it's cheaper for everyone to play together." Well, he completely forgot that Lin Ji was much older than him and a serious scholar, how could he talk to his friends? What is the common language.

However, Lin Ji did not refuse, and nodded to show that he knew.

Jia Lan looked at Lin Ji with yearning eyes, he was not taken seriously in Jia's mansion, and he relied on his mother Li Wan to make arrangements for him.But the ethnology in Jia's mansion is not a good place, and he can't get a better education there.

Li Wan knew that Lin Ji was coming today, so he specifically asked him to get along with this uncle last night, and seized the opportunity to ask his uncle to give him advice.Jia Lan watched Jia Baoyu and Lin Ji talking enthusiastically, and didn't dare to interject, just watching from the sidelines.

Seeing that he shrank like Jia Huanhuan, Lin Ji didn't care, "This must be Cousin Zhu's child?" Lin Ji looked at Jia Lan and asked, "It looks like he's just started school, what did he study? Books?" According to seniority, this child still calls him cousin, but Lin Ji, who suddenly grew a seniority, expressed that he was a little tired, since he was only sixteen, so he was of uncle generation.

"I have only finished reading "Three Character Classics" and "Thousand Character Classics", and I am currently reading "Enlightenment of Enlightenment". My husband is teaching, and I have just finished teaching, but I haven't read it thoroughly, and I am not proficient." He is embarrassed to say that he has only just read it. The entire book has not yet had time to recite it.

"Oh, this progress is not bad. You are only five years old this year. It is not bad to be able to finish the first two books." Lin Ji nodded, and boasted: "As expected of Cousin Zhu's child, uncle, this child can read the first two books." Cultivate well, maybe the Jia family can have a champion." Lin Ji said to Jia Zheng with a smile, and then turned to Jia Lan, "Come on, let me test you, Tian Haohao, Ri Rongrong, next time What is one sentence?"

"Uh, saber, saber versus bow." Jia Lan thought for a while, stumbled out the answer, and then recited it all at once: "The water is green in half a stream, and the flowers are red in a thousand trees." After speaking, he straightened up Rod, a small sample waiting to be inspected.

Lin Ji patted his head, "That's right, you're such a good boy, come on, this is a reward from my cousin in private." Lin Ji removed the suet white jade hanging from his waist and put it in Jia Lan's hands, " You have to study hard and work hard every day, you know?" There was pity in his eyes, if this child grew up in a more ordinary family, he might have a bright future, Jia's family, after all, it's not good enough.

Holding the warm white jade in his hand, Jia Lan grinned triumphantly.Jia Zheng watched and nodded. This child is still young, but he has the demeanor of his son back then.Jia Huan next to him pursed his lips, as if he couldn't understand Jia Lan's sycophancy, but Jia Zheng stood beside him, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Jia Amnesty was impatient with this, seeing that it was getting late, "It's time for dinner, let's go." After speaking, he led the way and took them to Jia Mu's yard.

Lin Ji followed Jia She and Jia Zheng, walked through the corridor, passed the garden, and walked into the main hall of Jiamu's courtyard.He was wearing a plain gown, slender and straight, with a delicate and angular face, and a somewhat free and easy walking posture.

After the briefing, a group of people entered the main hall, only to see a large family sitting in the hall.Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing sat on both sides, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng were also there, Lin Daiyu and Sanchun were together, and everyone was talking.When the women saw that the backbone of the family had come in, they hurriedly gave way.

After Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng sat down, Lin Ji also took advantage of the opportunity and knelt down on the round cattail that the servant girl had prepared in advance, and kowtowed to Jia Mu.The etiquette and customs of the ancients were extremely cumbersome, but fortunately Jia's house didn't pay much attention, and Jia's mother didn't want him to kneel too much, so they asked people to help Lin Ji up quickly.

Jia Amnesty entered the main courtyard, sat down and didn't speak, sipping tea with a teacup, he and Jia's mother had some quarrels recently.As for the internal and external affairs of the family being controlled by Jia Zheng and his wife, he didn't get along with it. Even though Wang Xifeng had taken over the right to run the family, she still had to ask Mrs. Wang about everything. Jia She didn't think it was any different from before. .A few days ago, he was rejected because he asked for money to buy an ancient painting, and he still has no good looks towards Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng.

Madam Xing naturally stood aside tremblingly, standing behind Jia She like a wooden figure.

Jia Zheng smiled, and after paying his respects to Jia Mu, he praised Lin Ji to Jia Mu: "Mother, it's really rare for An Tai to be able to win the prize at such a young age." Looking at Jia Baoyu, although he only met Lin Ji today, he has already proficiently called him by his nickname.

Mother Jia looked at Lin Ji carefully, feeling disapproving in her heart, but with a satisfied expression on her face, "Brother Ji's nickname is Antai?" She also called out very familiarly, "This Antai boy is really long. Well-behaved, majestic, masculine. As expected of a child who has seen the world, but different. Unlike our Baoyu, raised at home, too delicate." Although it is a compliment, it is also a little rusty, and Complaints against Baoyu are tinged with intimacy, and the old man's partiality is clearly revealed.

Lin Ji didn't pay attention, and bowed to salute, "Brother Baoyu is also smart and full of aura. Lan'er is also good. Today I took the exam in the study room. Lan'er has a look, quite like Cousin Zhu back then. You can also win the championship in one fell swoop." He never likes to take advantage of verbal advantages, and it is of no use.

"Good boy, then I want to thank you on behalf of your cousin." Mother Jia said with a smile: "Antai boy, you don't have to be polite, just treat this place as your own home. I, I also want to thank you for taking care of Yu'er like this." "Mother Jia acted as if speaking for her own family, which made the servants of the Lin family who were present a little bit alienated, "I heard that you found a good doctor for Yu'er to raise her so white and tender. It really took a lot of trouble. I feel much relieved that Yu'er has a brother like you."

"This is what I should do, thank you for not being an old lady." Lin Ji replied.

"It's inconvenient for you two children to go to Beijing this time without your father. You might as well bring Yu'er to live in the mansion, so it's convenient for us to take care of you. Besides, your second aunt has already had the yard cleaned up. Yu'er lives with me, and when you are busy studying, I, an old lady, can watch her." Jia Mu said, "Antai baby, what do you think?"

Lin Ji accepted the kindness with a smile, but he also raised his objection, "My sister is going to Beijing for the first time, and there are still relatives in the family who need to visit one by one. When we settle down, I will definitely bring my sister to the mansion to fulfill my filial piety." As for He is not at ease living with Jia Mu.

Mother Jia nodded and introduced the two uncles to Lin Daiyu.After seeing the ceremony one by one, Lin Daiyu came to Jia Baoyu.Looking at this boy, Lin Daiyu had a strange feeling, as if she had seen him before.

Jia Baoyu looked at the delicate little girl in front of him, and felt that she was very familiar, and she was also very good-looking, so he smiled and said, "I have seen this younger sister before."

The author has something to say: Some parts are quoted from the original text, and some scenes during the meeting will change because of Lin Ji's appearance, but some parts will not change.In fact, I don't think all the people in Jia's house are bad people. What they do under certain conditions is just out of her own personal interests.

I don't want to describe the people in Jia's mansion so unbearably. Of course, sometimes it is inevitable to bring some emotions, and I still hope Haihan.

I still like Sister Lin the most, bar none.
