Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is the oldest of the six Shangshu, and his beard and hair are all white. Fortunately, he is growing old and strong, and the two of them fought on the chessboard.

Lin Ruhai raised his hand to block a big dragon belonging to Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, let me go."

The Minister of Rites stroked his white beard and was about to speak when a member of the Lin family rushed in with great excitement to report, "Master, the second master is in high school!"

Lin Ruhai cut off his words, frowned and said, "Speak slowly if you have something to say, how proper is this. Haven't you seen Wei Shangshu?"

"My little one greets Master Shangshu." The servant had no choice but to salute again, thinking that the master is not in a hurry.

Seeing that he had recovered his breath, Lin Ruhai calmly said, "Finally, how many did you get in the exam?"

The boy couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind, and didn't know whether he was happy or not, so he suppressed all his excitement and said honestly, "Tell the master, the second master has won the first prize."

"Reward him ten taels of silver, let's go down." Lin Shangshu was still very calm, if he hadn't made another white piece on the chess that he had already played.

Wei Shangshu laughed and said, "Ruhai is quite like Xie An's day."

At that time Xie An received the victory report of the Battle of Feishui, and continued to play chess in silence, until the guest asked about it, Fang replied that he was a big thief, and his behavior was no different from ordinary.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Master Wei, is there any nephew who will try this time?"

"Of course not." Wei Shangshu sorted the black and white pieces one by one, "otherwise, would you call me a thief? If I remember correctly, your brother is just seventeen this year, right?"

"It's eighteen years old."

"Heroes are born in youth."

"Hey, you are always here. Hurry up, Lin Ruhai, treat us with good wine and good food." Gui Shilang came to report the news as soon as he heard the news. Seeing his boss sitting there smiling, he squeezed towards him, " If you don’t get drunk, you won’t return.”

Wei Shangshu said, "Where's Lin Huiyuan? Did you go out to read the list with your classmates?"

On the day of reading the list, the business of several major teahouses in the capital was very good, and some of them even launched the service of reading the list on behalf of customers. Most of these exam candidates would also gather with friends and classmates to wait for the news.

"At this time, he is probably practicing calligraphy." Lin Ruhai glanced at the clock, "His classmates are all in Lin'an, so he didn't go out today."

"Go and call." Gui Shilang shouted, "This kid is bored all day long, now that he's in high school, why don't you come and have a few drinks with us?"

The servant at the door hurriedly looked at Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "Don't make trouble, I'll just drink a few cups with you, he still has a palace test."

"It's already like this. There are always second-class ones. Are you afraid that he will fail the examination?" Gui Shilang refused, "Hurry up and call."

"Okay, okay, let the child Ansheng stay for a while, and wait for the title of the gold list, are you afraid that there will be no time for him to toast you? The Jinshi is easy to say, the most important thing is the Shujishi exam, and you can't let go of any links." Wei Shangshu He said, "If you keep making noise, I'm going to ask His Majesty for sick leave. I'll see if you have time to drink."

"Come on, let's go, you two ministers, I can't compete with you as a little servant." Gui Shilang blew his beard angrily.

Lin Daiyu received the news a moment later, "Does Uncle know?"

"Second master knows." Xueque said, "It is said that the second master is not happy at all, just say that I know, and there is nothing else to say."

"Even if there is still the imperial examination, it is a gentleman's style for my uncle to be so indifferent. Is it like a villain, who will become arrogant when he walks halfway? Let the subordinates buy the firecrackers, pay attention to fire prevention, as a spark will blow up. "Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "The whole house will add two monthly regulations. After a while, I will cook and cook some food myself. One more thing, please don't ask for rewards from my uncle. If you disturb my uncle's study, just kick him out. But you won't be polite."

Now Lin Yuan also has a servant by his side, named Yan Zhu, and if he wants to be accompanied by other servants, Lin Yuan will not want him at all.

Xueque gave an order, came back and saw Yanzhu wandering around the gate of the courtyard, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to serve the second master, are you wandering around here?"

"Aren't you waiting for sister Xueque? The second master said that the sachet made by the former girl is very good, refreshing and refreshing. He asked me to ask if there are any spices. The smell of that one is a bit weak. If you don't have it, forget it."

It was specially prepared by Lin Daiyu, adding mint and other fresh medicinal materials, and no floral fragrance was used.

Xueque said, "Of course there are, just wait a moment, I'll get them."

Lin Daiyu and Nanny Li discussed what else to pay attention to, and heard Xueque say a few words, "Take all the spices, maybe the two of them will tear apart the seams by themselves, look at that basket, all made It’s a sachet with this flavor, you give half of it to Uncle.”

Xueque smiled and put a few in the box, "Who does the girl leave half of?"

Naturally it was for Yan Ji.

It's just how Lin Daiyu said it, and gave her a look, "Hurry up, don't ask Yan Zhu what else is missing, so you can make it up sooner. Uncle doesn't like to trouble us, so let's be more attentive."

Lin Daiyu's soup was not ready yet, Yan Ji came here without invitation, he didn't look for Lin Ruhai, he came to Lin Yuan.

Xueque spread her hands, "I knew I would have put them together just now, so I would have to send them again when the time comes."

Lin Daiyu was so angry that she threw the half-embroidered handkerchief on her body, "No matter how poor you are, I won't punish you if I look at you and go out, right? I'm going to ask Nanny Yu to teach you a lesson."

"Oh, girl, please forgive me, I won't dare again."

Xueyuan, who was checking with Biling what was in Lin Daiyu's house, also came over and hit her with the account book, "I will not spare you."

Lin Daiyu then asked, "Which book is this?"

"The third book, there are two more books to finish." Xue Yuan said, "I remembered it in detail at the time, and it's easy to compare now."

"Could it be that I can't argue with you if it's a little less, it's all small things." Lin Daiyu looked like a rich man, "Don't be tired."

"Your maidservant knows that you care about us, and we can finish the confrontation in three days." Xue Yuan said and dragged Bi Ling to the warehouse.

Xueyan was watching the fire in the small kitchen, and seeing that Lin Daiyu's soup was ready, she hurriedly called the little girl to invite her, saying that the heat was almost ready.

Lin Daiyu tasted the saltiness with a small spoon, then turned off the fire and poured it out. The soup was divided into two portions and sent to each.

Seeing that it was delivered by Lin Daiyu's maid in person, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smiled a little, "You are lucky today."

Yan Ji smiled slightly, "I don't know how Uncle Lin explained it?"

"If you pretend again, I'll drink it all up."

"My uncle may not be able to drink so much soup."

"Oh?" Lin Yuan glanced at him lightly, "Do you want to give it a try?"

"It's not mine. I'm really flattered to make the soup by myself." Yan Ji took the spoon first, "I'll serve the soup for my uncle."

Xueyan peeked at Yan Ji several times before retreating. She wanted to hurry back and tell the girl that the uncle looks good.

Lin Yuan took the soup bowl, "Are you and Ming Boyu really cousins?"

"What's wrong with Boyu?" Yan Ji filled another bowl for himself, and asked while drinking.

"He looks shrewd, but he's so stupid. You're pretending to be honest, and you're full of bad luck."

Yan Ji swallowed the food in his mouth, thinking that Lin Daiyu's craftsmanship is really good, why is it so to his own taste, but he said with a smile on his face, "My uncle really wronged me, even if I have bad water, I will come from the doctor's office. It was dyed by Yu. Why is Boyu so stupid?"

"I can't hide my thoughts, and I can do it on the spot without evidence. Isn't that stupid?"

Yan Ji was silent for a moment, "He comes from a noble family, so he is unavoidably innocent and cute."

"Stupid." Uncle Lin concluded his statement.

Yan Ji found that he felt the same way. He changed the subject and asked about Lin Yuan's homework. Every time he asked, Lin Yuan could answer very well, and some of them added his own opinions, which were sharp and unique.

The two of them just sat there, each drinking a bowl of soup, chatting with one question after another.

I don't know if Lin Daiyu had pinched the time, Xueyan came to deliver snacks again, she put the chubby rabbit on the table, "The girl made the rabbit with her own hands."

The core is sweet-scented osmanthus that has been marinated earlier, and the noodles are made by the kitchen lady. Lin Daiyu is really only responsible for kneading.

Yan Ji coughed twice, resisting Uncle Lin's gaze, and took out a purse from his sleeve, "I'm sorry to trouble you to bring it to you girls, but I made it myself."

He and a few friends went to a small porcelain kiln when they were outing. They made a rabbit and asked someone to burn it.

Xueyan pinched out a pair of long ears inside, and knew it was another rabbit, "Why does my uncle always give rabbits, the girl finds it strange. Ah... Uncle Yan, the servant is rude."

Yan Ji smiled gently, "It's not wrong to call me uncle, you girls don't like rabbits anymore?"

"I like it if I like it, and I can't give it away all the time. There are so many rabbits in the girl's house that they can become smart."

"Got it, I'll see you off next time."

Xueyan was blessed and went down happily. My uncle cared about the girl very much, and she had just seen that the dishes on the table were all gone except for the soup, and the others didn't move much.

Seeing that Yan Ji had caught a rabbit, Lin Yuan asked, "What stuffing?"

"Osmanthus."

Lin Yuan put down his chopsticks and said decisively, "It's all yours."

In order to prepare for the test, he seldom cooks for Ming Boyu at night, so Ming Boyu had to develop a new night snack. Somehow, he fell in love with osmanthus cake, and insisted on eating it with Lin Yuan who was reading at night with the lamp on.

In the end, both of them were disgusted.

Lin Daiyu looked at the rabbit brought back by Xueyan, and blushed again, "Who asked you to tell him this."

"Hee hee, Miss, just pretend that I didn't say anything, I should be careful, no one else said it." Xue Yan said, "I don't know what my uncle will give you in the future."

A few days later, Yan Ji sent a cat over.

White.

Live.
