[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

After a dark day, the snow finally started to fall in the evening.The howling north wind swept the heavy snow all over the sky, rushing towards the capital.The first snowstorm after the new year came suddenly.

It was supposed to be a lively time, but there were very few pedestrians on the road, only the whistling wind mixed with icy snowflakes, passing quickly through the empty streets.Even if there are a few pedestrians who come back late, most of them are in a hurry, wishing to put on their wings and fly back to their home, have a sip of hot soup to resist the cold that radiates from the bones.

However, in the place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries live together in Beijing, there are a few figures standing uncharacteristically in front of the mansion of Mr. Lin Hailin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.The reason why it is said to be a human figure is also because the visibility is reduced due to the heavy snow like goose feathers. It is impossible to see the face clearly until it is close. It can only be inferred from the faint outline that there are several adults at the door.

"Azi is back." With a cry, a black figure jumped directly into the wind and snow, rushing towards the black spot that seemed far away but was actually near.

"Hey..." Lin Hai helplessly looked at his careless uncle Jia Jing who had jumped out, and quickly followed him out.And behind Lin Hai was the servant who had been waiting outside with the two of them.

To be honest, when Lin Hai came back from the Ministry of Officials and saw Jia Jing standing at the gate of his house stretching his neck and looking around, he was really shocked: When did he come back, why didn’t he hear Jia Zi mention it.However, the surprise in Lin Hai's heart disappeared with Jia Jing's staring expression when he saw him—it's been so many years, and his uncle really hasn't improved at all.

Of course, what Lin Hai didn't know was that it wasn't that Jia Zi didn't mention Jia Jing's return from Jinling to Lin Hai, but that Jia Jing really entered the capital today, and Jia Zi didn't know that he had already returned.Moreover, the most important thing is that as soon as Jia Jing came back, he rushed directly to the Lin Mansion, and didn't even return to the Ningguo Mansion - Jia Jing naturally wanted Jia Zi to be the first to know the news of his return.Although Jia Jing wanted to tell Jia Zi that he was back immediately, he forgot that Jia Zi was the governor of Gyeonggi Daying, so she was naturally going to be in Gyeonggi Daying at this time.Jia Jing was also a stubborn person, and he stood guard at the gate of the Lin Mansion directly, intending to meet Jia Zi as soon as he came back.

However, what Jia Jing didn't expect was that he waited for a long while against the increasingly fierce north wind, but he didn't wait for Jiazi at all, but instead waited for the bad guy who robbed his sister in his eyes.Thinking that it was this guy who forcibly took away his sister, Jia Jing's face towards Lin Hai was naturally stinky for more than ten years.

And Lin Hai was shocked when he saw Jia Jing, and then quickly invited Jia Jing into the house.However, Jia Jing is not someone who is willing to listen to Lin Hai's advice easily?

Looking at Jia Jing who was clamoring to stand at the door and wait for Jia Zi, Lin Hai had no choice but to wait at the door with Jia Jing: If he wasn’t there, Jia Jing’s mouth wouldn’t necessarily provoke him. What about the relationship with Jazi!Although Jia Zi would definitely not be provoked by Jia Jing, but thinking of Jia Jing's appearance that he wished he could be separated from Jia Zi, Lin Hai couldn't let Jia Jing stand alone at the door, waiting for Jia Jing like a sister-in-law. Zi back.

Therefore, a very strange scene appeared in front of the famous Lin Shilang's mansion: in the snowstorm, two men in thick cloaks stood at the gate with a group of servants behind them, looking around constantly. - Although everyone in the capital knows that Jiazi and Lin Hai have a deep relationship, it is really uncommon to see such a strange scene like this one.

If someone who also knows Jia Jing sees this scene, he will know what's going on: it's nothing more than this well-known sister-protecting madman Jia Jing, who doesn't like his brother-in-law Lin Hai again, so he deliberately Lin Hai came here to torment Lin Hai.

However, due to the weather, no one saw the picture of Jia Jing and Lin Hai waiting in front of the Lin Mansion together.As for Lin Hai, he could only chat with Jia Jing while braving the wind and snow to wait for Jia Zi to come back.

In just a short time, Jia Jing has rushed out several times.Every time he saw a black spot, Jia Jing would call Jia Zi's name and rush over, and Lin Hai naturally had to follow behind.However, Lin Hai did not expect that Jia Jing, who had admitted to the wrong person several times, did not restrain himself at all, and rushed out again.However, looking at the familiar black shadow, Lin Hai can be sure that this time Jia Jing did not admit the wrong person again: Jia Zi finally came back despite the wind and snow.

On the other hand, Jazi really doesn't know that two men who are most important to him are waiting for him outside the gate of his house.She was facing the bitter cold wind, and in this difficult weather, she moved little by little towards home.

In fact, before Jiazi left Gyeonggi Daying, the snow had already started to fall.After instructing the lieutenant general on duty to pay attention to the protection from the cold and warmth of the soldiers in the battalion, Jia Zi hurriedly left the camp before the heavy snowfall.

However, Jiazi did not expect that the snow on the way back was getting heavier and heavier, and the road became more and more difficult. In the end, Jiazi was forced to dismount directly: the wind and snow were too heavy, and the visibility was too low. It is not at all sure that if I ride a horse, I will bump into a pedestrian who is also late but cannot avoid it.What's more, it is difficult for horses to move in such heavy snow.Therefore, she had no choice but to get off the horse early, hold the rein tightly in her hand, and pull the horse vigorously as if she didn't want to take another step, and slowly moved towards home.

Seeing the black shadow running towards him shaking his hands and calling his name, Jiazi was involuntarily stunned.It was really hard for her to believe that her eldest brother Jia Jing, who went to Jinling to deal with the restless clansmen in Jinling, would suddenly appear, and he would appear in such windy and snowy weather.

However, the familiar call and unchanging enthusiasm made Jiazi quickly confirm that the person in front who ran in spite of the cold was undoubtedly Jia Jing; and those who followed Jia Jing naturally had to accompany him Seeing Jia Jing waiting outside Lin Hai.

"Brother." Jiazi hurried forward a few steps, looking at the person in front of him with joy, "When did you come back? It's so cold, why don't you wait inside the room?"

"Ah!" Jia Jing sneezed, then gently brushed off the snowflakes on Jia Zi's head, and said with concern, "I'm not cold. It's you," Jia Jing skillfully took the reins from Jia Zi's hand , while frowning, said: "Why are you wearing so little? Is it cold? Lin Hai is really, he didn't even give you a thick coat. It's really stingy." It was winter, and she just added a slightly thicker cloak and went out.However, in Jia Jing's eyes, such a scene is naturally evidence that Lin Hai is stingy and refuses to give Jia Zi thick clothes.

As soon as Lin Hai came over, he heard that his uncle who was the most unkind in the world was taking all the time to smear his face, and quickly interjected: "Azi, don't listen to his nonsense." Then, Lin Hai pulled Jia away again. He put his hand to his lips and gently breathed on Jiazi's hand: "It's freezing. Come on, let's go into the house quickly."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Hai directly took Jia Zi's hand, passed Jia Jing, and walked towards the gate of the Lin Mansion not far away.Jia Jing, who was left behind, looked at the backs of Lin Hai and Jia Zi in surprise, holding the reins in his hand, behind them were horses that were slightly uneasy because of the cold and snow.

Seeing such a scene, the servants of the Lin family who came with Lin Hai hurriedly took the reins from Jia Jing, and said with a suppressed smile, "My lord, let this horse be handed over to the servant, you should choose to go into the house to warm it up for a while." Warm up!" In fact, this slave also couldn't figure out what Jia Jing, the in-laws master, was messing with: could he still make Jia Zi and Lin Hai reconcile?Besides, Lin Hai is the wishful man in many people's hearts, so how can he be so picky?

Jia Jing glanced at this sensible servant and nodded slightly.Then, he ran after Jiazi and Lin Hai: "Azi, wait for me!"

Behind him, Lin Hai couldn't help laughing with the sound of the wind: "Azi, tell me, what would happen if the two of us ran for a few steps and closed the house door directly?" Over the years, Lin Hai I have been exercising with Jiazi all the time, and my body is stronger than before.If he really runs, Lin Hai is confident that he will not be slower than Jia Jing.What's more, he has such a powerful assistant as Jia Zi by his side, so he will definitely leave Jia Jing far behind.

"Bad guy." Jiazi blinked, and said with concern: "Are you cold? You said, you are too, why are you waiting outside with him? Hmph, that brat Rong'er, when the eldest brother came back, he unexpectedly Don't let anyone tell me, wait for me to free up and see how I deal with him." Without even thinking about it, Jia Zi dumped the blame for Jia Jing's sudden return, which she didn't know, to Jia, who knew nothing like her. Rong's head.

"Azi," Jia Jing heard Jia Zi's words as soon as he caught up, and couldn't help but said quickly, "Who do you want to deal with, tell the elder brother, and the elder brother will help you deal with him. Is it this kid?" Jia Jing said, still Glancing at Lin Hai, he looked like, "Did that kid Lin Hai bully you while I wasn't paying attention?"

Jia Zi glared at Jia Jing: "Okay, what are you doing nonsense, don't you look at how old you are? You're not cold after being outside for a long time? I'll ask the servants to boil some hot water, so hurry up and take a bath." Take a bath, change clothes, and then eat."

Jia Jing nodded hastily, and glanced at Lin Hai triumphantly, the embarrassment in his eyes made Lin Hai almost laugh out loud: Jia Jing's expression is so similar to that of Lin Hui in front of him when he was young. It coaxed Jazi to hug him with that embarrassing expression.

"It's been asking people to boil hot water!" When Jiazi looked at him, Lin Hai laughed and said, "You should wash it too. You just came back from the Gyeonggi Daying, where it's even colder. Besides, Yu'er has already Tell someone to make ginger soup, drink a bowl after a while, to drive away the cold."

"Yeah." Jia Zi nodded lightly: "You have to wash it too. By the way, find some clothes for him..." Pointing to Jia Jing, Jia Zi went on to say: "You can't let He should be wearing this wet clothes that are stained with cold air!"

Lin Hai nodded, and before he could speak, he heard Jia Jing shout: "I have clothes, I brought thick clothes, so I won't wear his."

Jia Zi glanced at Jia Jing in surprise, and wondered in his heart: "What's wrong? You ran away from home again? Did someone bully you? Who was it?" Thinking of what happened back then, Jia Zi slowly clenched his fists: Could it be that the restless old lady has become a demon again?How dare she...

In fact, it's not surprising that Jazi thinks so.During the period when Jia Jing left, although many things happened in Rongguo Mansion, such as the construction of a family-saving villa and the reception of the concubine, Ningguo Mansion was very stable, as if it had the same surname as Rongguo Mansion. The two families who have nothing to do with each other are the same.Therefore, the people of Ningguo Mansion absolutely did not do such a thing as leaving Jia Jing who had just returned so angry that he ran away from home.Therefore, if Jia Jing was really bullied as soon as she came back, then her good aunt who thought she was really her ancestor must be the one to blame.

"I……"

However, before Jia Jing could reply, Jia Zi hurriedly asked again: "By the way, how did you come back?"

"Okay," Lin Hai interjected with a smile: "Let's all go to freshen up first, and we'll talk about it after we've finished washing up. Wearing these cold clothes for a long time is not good for your body."

Jia Zi nodded quickly, and while ordering his servants to send Jia Jing to the guest room, he went back to his and Lin Hai's yard.

"Ah," Jiazi couldn't help sighing while soaking in the warm water, "It would be nice if I soaked in a hot spring pool."

After taking a simple bath, Jia Zi let his hair loose, looked at the bowl of thick ginger soup that Lin Hai specially ordered someone to send on the table, and frowned frequently: Her body is so good, how could she use such a thing.

Blinking his eyes, Jiazi picked up the bowl of ginger soup that exuded a pungent smell, and when no one was prepared, he opened the window and poured it out.

Just as Lin Hai came over, he saw a flash of water flashing past his eyes.

Jiazi cried out "unlucky" in his heart, but a bright smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hands towards Lin Hai through the window that was not closed: "Ruhai."

"You did something bad again, didn't you?" Lin Hai held Jiazi's outstretched hands helplessly, and squeezed them lightly: "Okay, close the window quickly. I'll ask someone to bring you another bowl of ginger." Soup here."

Jiazi watched Lin Hai let go of her hand with aggrieved eyes, then turned his head to look at Lin Hai who had already walked in from the door.

"Don't play tricks." Lin Hai pinched Jiazi's nose and said with a light smile, "Be obedient, don't make fun of your body."

"You know how to threaten me." Jia Zi made a face at Lin Hai: "By the way, what's going on today? My elder brother is messing around, and you are messing around too. It's so cold, do you have to wait outside?"

Hearing Jiazi's words, Lin Hai looked at Jiazi helplessly, with an expression of "Your elder brother insists on waiting outside, what can I do?"

"Okay," Jia Zi spread his hands and muttered, "He insists on being outside, you really can't control him. But when did he come back?" With Jia Jing's temper and the relationship with Jia Zi If he came back from Jinling, Jiazi should be the first to notify.But now, Jia Zi didn't hear any news at all: Jia Jing seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"I don't know." Lin Hai smiled and said, "As soon as I came back today, I saw him waiting outside the mansion." Thinking of Jia Jing's stinky face when he saw him coming back, Lin Hai was really helpless: He didn't ask him to wait outside.

Jia Zi frowned slightly: "Could it be that this old boy just came back?" It has to be said that Jia Zi and Jia Jing are brothers and sisters after all, and it was easy to guess when Jia Jing came back.

Jia Zi's unconscious statement made Lin Hai faintly laugh: Isn't Jia Jing just an old boy?What's more, this old boy has been like a day for more than ten years, and he hasn't made any progress at all.

"When did he come back, just ask later." Lin Hai said, took the ginger soup that was brought just now from the hand of the servant, and gently called Jiazi's name: "Azi..."

"Can't we discuss it?" Jia Zi stepped back slightly: "You know that, my health has always been very good, and such a little snowstorm can't hurt me at all..."

"Azi," Lin Hai held Jiazi's hand in one hand, and said softly, "You are obedient, okay? Don't you want the children to see you so reckless?" Lin Hai moved out a few children without thinking. Come to "threat" Jazi.

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Jia Zi angrily took the bowl from Lin Hai's hand: "How dare they force me to drink this?" As he spoke, Jia Zi held the bowl in one hand, pinched his nose with the other, and slammed the warm ginger Soup poured into his mouth.

The child's angry actions made Lin Hai laugh uncontrollably.Then, a piece of sweet candy was gently stuffed into Jazi's mouth.

Jiazi opened his mouth subconsciously, and the ginger soup that Jiazi secretly held in his mouth and was about to spit it out flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Cough, cough..." As the spicy liquid flowed out, the strong smell that had been forcibly suppressed rushed into his mind, and Jazi coughed uncontrollably.

"You!" Lin Hai patted Jiazi's back in a funny way, and quickly poured a glass of warm water to Jiazi's mouth.

Just holding Lin Hai's hand, Jia Zi poured down the glass of water vigorously, but he could still feel the spicy taste spreading from his throat to his whole body.

Hearing Lin Hai's undisguised laughter, Jia Zi pushed Lin Hai without thinking: "You still laugh, it's not all your fault. If it wasn't for you, would I be like this?"

Although he felt that it was Jia Zi who stole chickens without losing money, Lin Hai still nodded in accordance with Jia Zi's words: "Yes, it's all my fault."

Lin Hai's gentle appearance made Jia Zi feel a little embarrassed, and he glanced left and right: "It's getting late, let's go eat!"

"Little villain." Lin Hai pinched Jiazi's nose, then took out another piece of candy and stuffed it into Jiazi's mouth: "Open your mouth."

The sweet taste in the mouth washed away the choking spicy feeling in the mouth, and a bright smile appeared on Jiazi's face: "I didn't expect you to carry this kind of thing with you. By the way, you have Didn’t you go and take a look? How is the earth dragon burning in the house? Where’s Hui’er? Did you come back from the academy?”

Seeing the smile on Jiazi's face, Lin Hai gently kissed the ginger soup stains off the corner of Jiazi's mouth, and said with a smile: "They are all fine, Hui'er came back earlier than me. Don't worry about it anymore. Yu'er is ready for dinner."

"My daughter is great," Jia Zi climbed Lin Hai's waist, and said with a smile, "I don't need to worry about anything. How about it, are you particularly jealous?"

"Your daughter is my daughter, what am I jealous of?" Lin Hai squeezed Jiazi's waist in a funny way, pressed it against Jiazi's ear, and said softly: "Hurry up and tidy up, big brother is still waiting for us to eat! Hmph , if it wasn't for Big Brother..."

The ambiguous words made Jiazi pinch Lin Hai's waist heavily, and then pushed him away before Lin Hai could react: "Wait for me, I changed clothes and we go there together."

At this time, Lin Daiyu, Lin Hui, and Lin Yan were sitting around the table in the hall of the Lin Mansion, listening to Jia Jing tell them what he saw and heard in Jinling and what happened on the way back from the road with great interest. .Jia Jingben was born as a Jinshi, so when he talked about these things, he was naturally very exciting. He could talk about a simple trifle in a brilliant way, and the children were fascinated by it.

"Azi!" Seeing Jiazi's figure, Jia Jing rushed over and said with a smile, "You're here? Why didn't you soak for a while, it's so cold today, let's soak for a while to drive away the cold air." Jing said, and glared at Lin Hai next to him.

"I'm fine." Jia Zi smiled and pulled Lin Hai's hand, signaling Lin Hai to ignore Jia Jing, and looked at Jia Jing gently: "How about you? How are you? Have you had any ginger soup?"

Jia Jing nodded with a silly smile: "Drink it. The ginger soup prepared by Azi is sweet and delicious, and it makes people addicted once they drink it."

Jia Jing's words made Lin Hai and Jia Zi think of what just happened at the same time, Lin Hai couldn't help laughing happily, but Jia Zi felt a little blushing.

The diametrically opposite appearance of Jia Zi and Lin Hai made Jia Jing slightly puzzled, and Lin Hai's unceremonious laughter attracted Jia Zi's sneaky kick.

Kicking Lin Hai secretly, Jia Zi gave him another hard look, with a vicious look of "you dare to tell what happened just now".

Lin Hai understood the meaning in Jiazi's eyes, and couldn't help showing a gentle smile: How could he tell others about that?

As soon as he saw Jiazi, Lin Yan got off the chair, ran over, squeezed Jia Jing who was next to Jiazi, hugged Jiazi's thigh, and said excitedly: "Mother, it's snowing, we Go for a snowball fight!" Lin Yan said as he pulled Jiazi's hand out forcefully, as if he wanted to pull Jiazi into the heavy snow outside.

"Snowball fights have to wait until the snow stops!" Jia Zi touched Lin Yan's face with a smile: "It's still snowing outside now! When the snow stops, Mom will take you out for a snowball fight, okay?" ?”

Lin Yan nodded heavily: "I listen to mother."

Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded Lin Yan's head: "See, let me tell you, snowball fights can't be fought until the snow stops, but you still don't believe it. You have to ask your mother to tell you before you believe it, right? "

"Yu'er," Lin Hui said coolly from the side: "Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing? He must think that his mother is there, and it doesn't matter even if it snows. As a result..." Lin Hui spread his hands, A look of helplessness.

Being exposed by Lin Hui, Lin Yan hugged Jiazi's leg, leaned his head on Jiazi's leg, and said coquettishly, "Mother!"

"Okay," Jia Zi smiled and touched Lin Yan's head: "When the snow clears, let's have a snowball fight together, okay? Now, let's go eat first."

Lin Hui and Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up when they heard Jia Zi say they wanted to have a snowball fight together: Of course they would.The two brothers and sisters secretly looked at each other, then looked at Lin Hai at the same time, and said in unison in their hearts: "It's best if Dad can go together. When the time comes, we will have a goal."

Therefore, when Jiazi didn't know, the children were unconsciously looking forward to the snow to stop, and it was best to stop immediately!

That night, due to the cold weather, Jia Zi directly left Jia Jing at home.As for the Ningguo Mansion, because Jia Jing didn't tell them, and Jia Zi didn't inform them: If Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and others knew that Jia Jing had returned, they would have come over at that time—it was freezing cold, Jia Zi and Lin Hai did not bother them.

The author has something to say: When it comes to wind and snow, how can there be a feeling of going to Liangshan on a snowy night?
