Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions
Chapter 37
Lin Daiyu drank the hawthorn and pear water given by the cook, and watched a farce with Yan Ji.
The servant girl stopped Lin Yuan from leaving, but Lin Yuan ignored him. Instead, he uncovered the dirty Zuo Chuan and stood in the kitchen to watch it.
Later, a woman came from nowhere and wanted to take the Fourth Young Master away, so she bowed and knelt to apologize to the maid, "I will make two pairs of shoes for the girl later as an apology."
The maid rolled her eyes a lot, "Come on, Mrs. Wu, you should save those rags for the fourth young master."
"Miss Lian'er is the third grandmother's dowry, and there are many good things." Mrs. Wu smiled, her face was full of wrinkles.
The cook wrapped some freshly steamed buns and stuffed them for her, "Save them for Fourth Young Master's belly."
Lian Er stretched out her hand, "I'm busy entertaining guests today, grandma's tortoise hasn't been fed yet, so I don't need anything else, that's all."
The cook said, "Grandma's tortoises always eat small fish, and they've been prepared a long time ago. The ones raised in that bowl are the ones."
"I eat a lot of fish and shrimp on weekdays, and it's good to change the taste occasionally. We won't starve the fourth young master, so the little fish will reward the fourth young master."
She talked lively, but Lin Yuan looked at her without sadness or joy, and left without looking back, "Give it to her."
Everyone thought he was compromising, only Yan Ji saw the chill in his eyes, he didn't care, but was patient.
To endure what ordinary people cannot bear, this person must have a very good heart.Yan Ji couldn't help adding the idea of making friends, but it's a pity that he is now dressed as a vulgar servant, so he can't reveal too much.
On the way back, Yan Ji told Lu Yi everything about Lin Yuan, and Lu Yi slapped his thigh, "I hate that he is of the same generation as Ru Hai, otherwise the Lin family will have no worries for at least 20 years after adopting this kid."
"He is so tolerant, isn't uncle afraid that he is an ambitious wolf?" Yan Ji asked.
"Don't be afraid of being ambitious, what you're afraid of is being stupid and ambitious." Lu Yi thought for a while, "I invite him to come to the house tomorrow to meet me. If it's as good as Brother Ji said, I would like to take in a disciple."
"He is of the same generation as Uncle Lin. If you accept him as a disciple, isn't that a mess of generation?"
"Since he's my disciple, he's naturally named Lu with me. What's the matter with the Lin family?" For the first time, Lu Yi showed the sharp edges and corners on his face with a smile, "Brother Ji, I'm also the son of a maidservant. If those people look down on bastards, And why did you give birth to a bastard?"
The Lu family is a scholarly family, Lin Yuan, a scholar's concubine, would have to suffer such humiliation, what he suffered in the family was not much more.
For this reason, he has never married so far, and he really has no interest in marriage. Anyway, the Lu family has thousands of children, so he is not inferior to him.
Lin Daiyu was silent at the side. If she could worship under Lu Yi's sect, Lin Yuan's situation would definitely be greatly improved.
"Yu'er, how do you feel about this family today?"
"A father is not a father, a son is not a son, a master is not a master, a servant is not a servant. The family tradition is so bad, if they really adopted Brother Bao, they might not be able to do something like relying on the Lin family." Lin Daiyu said, "It's just absolutely Unexpectedly, there are such people in the Lin family clan."
"Then let's look at the others."
On the second day, Lin Daiyu asked someone to prepare a table, and Yan Ji went to invite Lin Yuan in person.
How can the greeting card from the princess's mansion make Lin Siye's family dishonest and fearful.Seeing that Lin Yuan was dressed in coarse cloth, Fourth Master Lin ordered his wife, "Go and change the fourth son into decent clothes."
Mrs. Lin Si said, "There is no size he can wear at home. What's more, master, the princess's mansion has always been on good terms with the Lin family. I think it is specially to help inquire about Brother Bao. It is better for the third child to go to his own father." .If it falls into the eyes of a nobleman, wouldn't it be a step up to the sky."
"You are selling Chinese cabbage?! Let you choose the third and fourth."
Mrs. Lin Si had no choice but to give up, and asked people to go to the cage to pick out something that Lin Yuan could wear.
As a result, Lin Yuan had already left before the clothes were delivered.
Fourth Master Lin pointed at Mrs. Lin Fourth and cursed, "Ignorant woman, if you offend a nobleman because of this, I'll take your skin off."
"You pick it up! If it weren't for your disrespect, and you made this little bitch with that bitch, what would happen today. You still have decent clothes, don't forget that if you didn't have me, you would be able to see people I don't have any clothes!"
When money was mentioned, Fourth Master Lin softened and stopped talking embarrassingly.
Lin Yuan wore a half-worn coarse cloth robe, and cupped his hands towards Yan Ji, "Brother Yan, I haven't seen you for a day, and I've seen you with admiration."
Yan Ji heard his teasing and said with a smile, "How did Brother Lin know it was me?"
"I recognized it by hand." Lin Yuan smiled slightly, he didn't seem to make a big expression, his whole body was indifferent.
Yan Ji said, "Special circumstances."
"It can be seen that the Lin family has given up on brother Jibao, otherwise you wouldn't come to invite me."
"Brother Lin, is it a pity or a pleasure?"
Lin Yuan spread his hands, "Neither. What does it have to do with me?"
Lu Yi was full of anticipation and waited for the two boys to come, but Lin Ruhai called him and scolded him bloody, "Are you going to be my uncle?"
"Let's see, it's rare to see someone that Brother Ji admires so much. What if the child is really good. If not, it's fine to accept him as a righteous brother. I don't want to be your uncle. I don't want the old lady to strangle me to death." Lu Yi Smiling, "I'll see you in a while, help me get a hole."
"Yes." The old god Lin Ruhai nodded in Zazai.
The two old men were quite hopeful.
After Yan Ji and Lin Yuan entered the door, their eyes lit up.
This kid is really kind.
Lin Yuan saluted, "Greetings, Mr. Lin, and Mr. Lu."
"How old are you, and what books have you read?" Lin Ruhai didn't tell him to sit down, and just asked about his homework.
"Twelve." Lin Yuan stood at the bottom, speaking slowly, "I've only read four books."
Lin Ruhai asked him a few more questions, all in a calm and unhurried manner.
Lu Yi deliberately said, "Ms. Lin's family is seven years younger than you, and she has also read four books, and she has a photographic memory, and Bowen can memorize it."
Lin Yuan was neither humble nor overbearing, "Master Lin was born in Tanhua back then, so it's not surprising that there are women like this."
"Good boy, pretend to be flattering." Lu Yi went up and patted him on the shoulder, "It's just too thin."
Lin Ruhai looked at the boy's eyes with unfathomable depths, "If raising tigers is a problem, what should I do?"
"Your Excellency, how do you know that you don't guard your house with a tiger, so as not to punish evil?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but clenched his hands in his sleeves.
"I thought you were really calm." Lin Ruhai glanced at his hand.
"With such an opportunity, it is inevitable to be frightened."
Lin Ruhai laughed loudly, "I don't know how many children from aristocratic families I have met, but brother Wei Ji's heart and temperament can be compared with yours."
"I think my nephew is not as good as Brother Lin." Yan Ji also breathed a sigh of relief for Lin Yuan.
"I can't be called Brother Lin in the future." Lin Ruhai's eyes were burning, "I'm going to be called Uncle."
Lu Yi said triumphantly, "From now on, this kid will be my foster brother, you should call him Uncle Lu."
"It's mine, and it's called Uncle Lin." Lin Ruhai didn't feel the burden of snatching his younger brother at all.
Lu Yi shouted, "You are taking love with a knife!"
"I'm sick and like to be Chen Yaojin." Lin Ruhai said angrily, "Besides, I can write him into the family tree. If you come, wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble for no reason?"
Lu Yi said bitterly, "Forget it, your brother is also my brother. I'll find a good apprentice next year."
Lin Yuan originally thought that it was Lin Ruhai who funded his studies at most, but he didn't expect him to accept him as a foster brother, so he was a little at a loss.
Lu Yi patted the back of his head, "Why, are you stupid now? It's too late."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, knelt down and said, "Lin Yuan has met Brother Yi."
"My parents are gone, so I accepted this gift for them. Is there anyone else who wants to bring it over there?"
"There is a nanny. Without her, I would not have grown up to this size."
"I see." Lin Ruhai helped him up, "I won't stop you from doing what you want to do, but think about the Lin family before doing anything, don't make it too ugly."
"Brother's teaching, Lin Yuan dare not forget, the Lin family must be the first."
"Well, I'll ask someone to clean up the yard for you, Brother Ji, you go back there with him and clean up the things." Lin Ruhai pointed at Yan Ji and said, "Needless to say, I'll let Cheng Lin and you go together. "
Lu Yi was still angry, and entangled with Lin Ruhai, "I've never seen such a brazen person like you. If you are looking for a son, you will look for your son. Why do you want to rob my brother?"
"It was Yu'er who came back yesterday and said that it was a pity that he was trapped in the quagmire. That's why I thought about it. The Lin family is weak, and there must be a few people to support the family."
It's a pity, not pity, but pity is an insult when applied to Lin Yuan, and he doesn't need sympathy.Lin Daiyu has been studying since she was a child. She has a delicate appearance but she has a strong character that would rather bend than bend.She also saw it in Lin Yuan, and she hoped that her father would give this arrogant fellow clan a chance.
"Although the talent is good, it has been delayed for many years." Lu Yi said, "I hope he can make up for his weakness with diligence."
"Speaking of scheming, you are better than me, but you are far behind when it comes to reading. This child is hiding his clumsiness, and he has more than these abilities." Lin Ruhai said, "I want to send him to Bailu Academy."
"Alright, sooner rather than later."
"Well, in a few days, I'll come and have a good talk with him."
Lin Daiyu heard the servant girl say, "Master accepted the Fourth Young Master Lin who came today as his brother-in-law, and said he would choose an auspicious day to open the ancestral hall."
"Open the ancestral hall?"
The same clan was originally an ancestral hall, so it would be impossible to adopt the fourth young master into his own home.
Mammy Yu thought she was unhappy, and persuaded, "Master has his own plans. Don't be unhappy, sister."
Lin Daiyu waved her hand and said, "I'm not unhappy, it's good to have an extra uncle."
Fourth Master Lin didn't have much affection for this son. Hearing that Cheng Lin's tongue was shining like a lotus flower, he agreed, but felt that he could have another noble relative.There are also fewer chopsticks at home, saving some money.
Mrs. Wu packed up the two people's few things, crying, "Fourth young master finally has a good future."
The third young master leaned forward and said with a sullen face, "This is a little Cheng Yi I gave to my fourth brother. Mom can keep it for him. Brother Bao, please take care of him."
What is Lin Ruhai's foster brother? Could it be that Lin Ruhai can still support him for the rest of his life?When Brother Bao becomes Lin Ruhai's son, Brother Bao will own the whole family business.
Mrs. Wu didn't talk nonsense with him, and walked out carrying her burden.
The servant girl stopped Lin Yuan from leaving, but Lin Yuan ignored him. Instead, he uncovered the dirty Zuo Chuan and stood in the kitchen to watch it.
Later, a woman came from nowhere and wanted to take the Fourth Young Master away, so she bowed and knelt to apologize to the maid, "I will make two pairs of shoes for the girl later as an apology."

"Miss Lian'er is the third grandmother's dowry, and there are many good things." Mrs. Wu smiled, her face was full of wrinkles.
The cook wrapped some freshly steamed buns and stuffed them for her, "Save them for Fourth Young Master's belly."
Lian Er stretched out her hand, "I'm busy entertaining guests today, grandma's tortoise hasn't been fed yet, so I don't need anything else, that's all."
The cook said, "Grandma's tortoises always eat small fish, and they've been prepared a long time ago. The ones raised in that bowl are the ones."
"I eat a lot of fish and shrimp on weekdays, and it's good to change the taste occasionally. We won't starve the fourth young master, so the little fish will reward the fourth young master."
She talked lively, but Lin Yuan looked at her without sadness or joy, and left without looking back, "Give it to her."
Everyone thought he was compromising, only Yan Ji saw the chill in his eyes, he didn't care, but was patient.

"Brother Lin, is it a pity or a pleasure?"
Lin Yuan spread his hands, "Neither. What does it have to do with me?"
Lu Yi was full of anticipation and waited for the two boys to come, but Lin Ruhai called him and scolded him bloody, "Are you going to be my uncle?"
