The Forest of Red Mansions

Jia Lian never thought that there would be such a big battle among the little children of the Lin family. Looking at the dozens of servants and dozens of large boxes and cages, he couldn't help sighing for a moment. It really shouldn't be underestimated, in the past he only regarded his younger brothers and sisters as quite delicate people, but now he compares them like this, but he feels that even the precious phoenix egg Baoyu is no more than mediocre.

Thinking about what he saw and heard in Lin's house these days, Jia Lian felt more and more unhappy for some reason.

The Jia family has always been magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, and there are not many houses in the capital that can match their luxury and splendor. Jia Lian has always been very proud of this, thinking that this is a symbol of his family's nobility and wealth.

In comparison, the Lin family was much more simple. At first Jia Lian harbored contempt and contempt, thinking that the Lin family might be ruined, but then he realized that was not the case at all.

The house of the Lin family looks simple and unadorned at first glance, but in fact it is exquisite everywhere. It is a typical garden style in the south of the Yangtze River. The pavilions and pavilions inside are full of natural and wild charm. The exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom, the small bridges and flowing water are quiet and beautiful, and the strange rocks and rockeries are ingenious. People are amazed.

The whole house is as elegant and beautiful as an ink painting. It is delicate, graceful and graceful, and it seems to be full of the fragrance of books and ink everywhere, which makes Jia Lian feel very uncomfortable. He only feels that the comparison between his magnificent home and the Lin family seems to be a Rough nouveau riche in general.

Then think about those well-behaved servants of the Lin family, as well as the maids of the Jia family who look like vice-misses, and the women whose mouths are bigger than the trumpet flower... I am afraid that many people in the capital will secretly laugh at their lack of taste. As for the rules, everyone in their family, including himself, had always felt extremely good about themselves before!

I don’t want to think about it, but when I think about it, Jia Lian suddenly seems to understand what happened to the strange eyes of others when he was showing off his family outside in the past. Fortunately, he was so stupid that he thought that people were envious and jealous. It seems that people are just laughing at him!

Forget about the depression and embarrassment in Jia Lian's heart, but he also knows that these things are out of his control, so he simply doesn't bother to make trouble for it, but his heart is more determined, and he will definitely follow his uncle in the future. Learn everything from my uncle!He is a serious Tan Hua Lang, who comes from a scholarly family!Who can laugh at him when he sees it!

Considering that the people in the family probably didn't expect the three children of the Lin family to have such a big battle, I'm afraid the original arrangement would not be so appropriate, and it would make the little girl feel neglected by then. At that time, Jia Lian sent someone to hurry up and send a letter to the hapless woman in his family.

Finally, when it was time to abandon the boat and land on the shore, Lin Jinyao, Lin Daiyu, and Lin Jinjun, including Jia Lian, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Without him, floating on the boat every day is really a test, life is too boring, It's just that Jia Lian wanted to have some fun for himself, and when he thought of those three siblings who were still filial, he became wilted.

The Rongguo Mansion had already dispatched the sedan chair and the luggage carriage and waited on the shore for a long time. The three siblings took the lead in getting into the sedan chairs with the help of the maids, and the servants behind them brought down their salute boxes one by one. After loading and tidying up the car, a rather spectacular team entered the city without haste.

There are nobles everywhere in the capital, and if you knock down any plaque, you may be able to hit an official. Therefore, the people in the capital seem to be more discerning. When you see such a team from a distance, you know that they are either rich or noble. , and leaned neatly to the side, not daring to provoke easily, only curious about who is in the gorgeous sedan chair from a distance.

Occasionally, the wind blows up a corner of the gauze curtain, and I have a vague glimpse of it, only to sigh that the jade is flawless.

A young boy on the tall building couldn't help but clenched the teacup in his hand, his dark eyes revealed a depth and complexity that didn't match his age, he stared straight at the sedan chair that was fading away, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Master?" The attendant beside him called softly, "It's been a long time since I came out today, if Master doesn't come back again, I'm afraid it will be hard to explain."

Regarding his master's behavior of running out in every possible way in recent days, he, a slave, is really helpless, and is even more confused, because every time his master tries his best to run out, he just does nothing. What the hell, I'm just sitting in this teahouse drinking tea!It's still the tea that even a slave like him despises!

This hobby is simply too weird, isn't it!

The young man put down the teacup and stood up, said calmly: "Come back, there is no need to come here again."

The attendant was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at the sedan chair that was no longer visible outside the window, and suddenly the words "drunkards don't want to drink" suddenly appeared in his heart.

After walking for another half a day, I suddenly saw two big stone lions squatting on the north side of the street, and three gates with animal heads. In front of the gates were sitting a dozen or so people in splendid clothes, but the main gates were not open. There is a plaque on it, and on the plaque there are five characters in the big book "Decree to build Ningguo Mansion". 1

Go west again, not far away, there are still three gates, and then you will find Rongguo Mansion.

The gate hadn't opened yet, so the bearer only carried it in from the west corner gate, walked for a while, and when he turned the corner, he stopped and retreated. Several well-dressed young men aged seventeen or eighteen came up, lifted the sedan chair again, and waited until it fell in front of a hanging flower door. The young men withdrew, and the women and maids stepped forward to draw up the sedan chair curtain, and helped the three siblings get off the sedan chair. .

Entering the hanging flower gate, there are chaoshou verandahs on both sides, and a hall in the middle, where there is a large screen with red sandalwood shelves and marble.Turning around the screen, there are three small halls, and behind the halls is the main courtyard behind.There are five upper rooms on the front, all with carved beams and painted buildings. On both sides, there are corridors and rooms on the side of the mountain, with parrots, thrushes and other birds hanging in various colors.On the platform, there were a few girls in red and green sitting. When they saw them coming, they hurriedly came up to them with smiles and said, "The old lady was still reading just now, and it happened to be here."

As they spoke, they scrambled to open the curtain, "Miss Lin, brother Lin are here!"

Lin Daiyu and Lin Jinjun stood beside Lin Jinyao on the left and right, and couldn't help holding her sister's hand tightly, looking rather apprehensive.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Jinyao softly comforted her younger siblings, and then walked in holding the hands of the two of them.

Two pretty maidservants in front of them supported an old mother with silver hair, and before the three siblings came to visit, the old lady hugged the three siblings into her arms, screaming and crying loudly.

Lin Jinyao froze, and when she heard Jia Mu's voice bursting into tears, she felt extremely ironic in her heart.

The old lady didn't say anything, after all, she is an elder, so there is no reason to wear mourning for the younger generation, but what about the pretty maids in the yard, and the masters of the second bedroom?Although it is not necessary to wear linen and filial piety for the married aunts and grandmas, but when the children come to the house for the first time, they don’t dress up a little to show respect.

In an instant, Lin Jinyao's impression of the Jia family fell to the bottom.
