Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

Shi Zifei hurriedly ordered people to bring walnut cakes, "The one from Nanfuji in the north of the city tastes pretty good, everyone should try it together."

At this moment, no one was thinking about having a serious meal, so she took advantage of the opportunity to ask for the noodles to be taken away, and served snacks and tea, and the lady and lady took the right to digest after the meal.

Gan sipped the jujube tea specially prepared for her, saw Lin Daiyu take a delicate bite, and asked, "How is it?"

"It's delicious, sweet but not greasy, crispy and delicious." Lin Daiyu ate a whole piece of walnut cake slowly, and wiped off the oil stains on her fingertips with a handkerchief.

Yan Qing disdainfully said, "You are not delaying time, are you?"

Lin Daiyu picked up the pen, gave her a disdainful look, and said nothing.

But one of the ladies watching said, "It's better than Miss Yan making up the numbers with the poems she made earlier."

"You spout blood."

"At the chrysanthemum banquet in Nan'an Palace, Miss Yan used this poem to show off with the previous Miss Shi, but now she forgot? I really remember it, it's the words of autumn wind and autumn rain." The lady's words pierced Yan Qing's face, and her mother immediately said, "The concubine, don't blame us for being rude. How many years have we held this late spring banquet? Why are the people invited this year so miserable? They are like flies. don't go."

The concubine Shizi smiled embarrassingly, "Please be more considerate, this is the first time for the princess, so there are inevitably some omissions."

In just a few words, Lin Daiyu had finished writing the poem about Walnut Crisp. Gan opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, "Miss Lin is really a talented woman. How could I not have a younger brother?"

Although her family is high and powerful, they most admire the elegance of scholars.

Ming Yilan squeezed a piece of walnut cake into her mouth, "Eat your walnut cake."

"Oh, I forgot that Ms. Lin is going to marry our Changle county. I said something wrong, mother-in-law, come and save me." Mrs. Gan smiled while biting a walnut cake.

Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "You should ask the princess to teach you a lesson, the big guy loves you, and you will turn into a monster."

The concubine Shizi looked at it once, and praised repeatedly, "If you take it to Nanfuji, they will definitely make all your walnut cakes for this year."

Seeing that everyone praised her, Lin Daiyu was very happy, but also a little shy, "It's just a play, how can it be spread."

"The daughter-in-law of the princess is really polite. What I'm talking about is that the outsiders can't know the girl's handwriting. The princess hasn't bought more snacks for your daughter-in-law." Mrs. Chen said, Ming Yilan is kind to Gan, Naturally, she would reciprocate, not to mention that a girl like Lin Daiyu really caught her eye.

"It's natural, don't talk about desserts, even if she wants mountains of gold and silver, I will give them to her." Ming Yilan said.

Yan Qing has already been dragged down, Princess Guang's reputation has been completely ruined, and the imperial concubine has returned to the hands of the Shizi Concubine.

It's just that Lin Daiyu really didn't go out much after this incident, and she rarely even went to the princess's mansion, she only said that she was engaged to do needlework at home, and Ming Yilan felt sorry for her sensible.

As Lin Yuan's exam was approaching, Lin Daiyu asked, "Are you nervous, Uncle?"

"Nervous." Although Lin Yuan said this, his face was still calm.

"I don't see it clearly." Lin Daiyu got along very well with him, and would ask him some homework, and Lin Yuan would tell her in detail, and didn't put it off just because she was a girl.

On the day of the palace examination, Ming Yao selected Lin Yuan as the number one scholar in the new subject, and he was complied by the sixth-rank Imperial Academy as usual.

At the Qionglin banquet, he asked Lin Ruhai with a smile, "Is this the younger brother that the teacher said? It's not in vain that the teacher dismissed the teacher for him."

Gui Shilang is the most nonsense, stroked his beard and said, "He is Lin Shangshu's younger brother, isn't he a generation higher than His Majesty's disciple."

Lin Ruhai glared at him, "Gui Shilang drank too much."

Ming Yao didn't take it seriously, "It's really reasonable, I should respect the number one scholar for a cup."

Lin Yuan stood up holding the wine glass and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, don't make such jokes on the little minister, you're going to spoil the little minister."

"17-year-old Sanyuan Jidi, if you don't make trouble, who will you make trouble with?" Ming Yao received his toast, "You punish yourself with three glasses, and I will let you go."

Lin Yuan drank one by one, but Gui Shilang yelled again, "Your Majesty let you go, I don't agree, we old guys with old arms and legs are very jealous at first sight of the young champion."

At the banquet, all the adults nodded in agreement and poured Lin Yuan wine in turn.

Ming Yao looked interesting, "The teacher didn't save him?"

"I drank more than him at the Qionglin Banquet back then. At that time, I also thought about who would save me, but unfortunately I didn't. He will suffer today." Lin Ruhai replied with a smile.

As soon as he said this, Ming Yao immediately pointed to the handsome little Tanhua and said, "Then Shangshu Lin, why don't you pour Tanhualang a few cups?"

Tanhualang is a descendant of the Xie family, and is a distant relative of the emperor. Seeing the emperor pointing at him, he raised his glass respectfully and said, "Your servant, please come by yourself, and I would like to ask Mr. Lin to show you his face."

Lin Ruhai drank all the wine in his glass, only feeling happy in his heart.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has only made this impression.Ming Yao promoted many young courtiers, and he himself occasionally escaped, sweeping away the extravagance and dullness of the Supreme Emperor's period.

Lin Daiyu set off all the firecrackers. This time, she rewarded the mansion with the monthly regulations for the first and last three months. Xueque laughed and said, "This year is really terrible, because the second master has an extra six months of regulations."

"Let everyone be happy, you will get married next month, and I will add more dowry to you then." Lin Daiyu said.

Lin's residence also has a small house in the capital, Lin Daiyu decided to let Xueque Xueyuan marry from there, and in the future, the Lin family's servant girls will also do the same when they have marriages.

While talking, there was noise from outside, Xueque went out with a straight face, and came back after a long time.

Lin Daiyu asked, "What's going on?"

"Bi Ling and Lu Ling are quarreling. Their names are similar, so there is some contradiction."

"If you want to talk about similarities, you two are all snow characters. Why don't you see any conflicts between you, so what's going on today?"

"Didn't the girl order to deliver some snacks to the second master? Originally, Biling went there, but Luling said that Biling was busy checking your warehouse, so it's better for her to go when she is idle."

It's because he saw that the second master didn't have a maid to serve him, and wanted to show his face in front of the second master.

"Then what did Biling say?"

"Bi Ling said that the things in the girl's house are divided into different roles. No one is idle and the other is busy. Lu Ling is idle at this moment, and she has something to be busy when she thinks about it later, so she can't delay her work."

"Bi Ling is very alert, she finished counting the warehouse a few days ago, and she didn't say anything?"

Xueque obviously likes Biling more, and Xueyuan also said in private that Biling is a quick learner, her memory is not as good as Xueyuan's, but she is very hardworking.

She said, "The girl usually only asks us to divide the work. The warehouse is not a trivial matter. It's normal for her not to talk about it. Xueyuan didn't tell us what the girl has in the beginning. She said that if people see too much, she is afraid of being greedy. If there is less, I am afraid that people will look down on me.”

"She was cautious. Those who stole the tea leaves before were a lesson learned from the past. You must be on guard against others." Lin Daiyu said, "Well, it's better to be careful than to show off. If you tell me how many things I have in the warehouse all the time, wouldn't you become an upstart? Now that Luling has a big heart, let's send it out. If I really go to make a fool of myself in front of my uncle, it will be difficult to deal with it. It seems that I did it on purpose."

She, a girl butler who has not been out of the cabinet, can't tolerate these people who want to show their faces and climb into bed.

While discussing whether to release it directly or send it to Zhuangzi, Ming Yilan came, and she asked, "What are you discussing? You don't look very good."

"Uncle won the first prize, some girls have big hearts." Lin Daiyu said, "I am a niece, how can I make these things happen, and what will become of it if it gets out."

"That's right. He's an official now. It's good if he doesn't have any maids around him. Otherwise, when your aunt gets married, there will always be opinions. Although many people like to have an aunt and a maid nowadays, but Don't we women really care if we are generous?" Ming Yilan said, "Like your brother Yan, I just don't allow him to do this. But he is sensible and told me that there is no such thing now, and there will never be one in the future." .”

Lin Daiyu had gotten used to it recently, and she didn't blush very much, but she was still ashamed after hearing this, "What did the Princess tell me about this?"

"If I don't tell you, who will I talk to? My silly son said that from now on, I don't want anyone else except you, not even the housemaid or auntie. Are you happy?" Ming Yilan squeezed her little girl Face, "Oh, why is it so hot."

"The princess is bullying again." Lin Daiyu slapped her hand away and turned away.

"Where would I bully you? I'd better look forward to it. As soon as Minger opens his eyes, three years will have passed. You are already old enough to marry into my family." He won the first prize, but it has stimulated brother Ji, who is studying hard these days, if he fails the ranking, I am afraid that the two brothers in your family will not look at him."

In fact, Ming Yilan also knew that if he was hit, people might not look at him directly.

Which father can like pigs with cabbage.

She suddenly remembered something, and asked Qiu Xin, "Did you bring the letter?"

"Bring it, I'm afraid the princess will forget it." Qiu Xin took out the letter.

Lin Daiyu saw that the letter was folded into a pair of koi, thought it was from Yan Ji, and didn't want Ming Yilan to say, "Help brother Yu pass a letter, it's for your uncle."

"Why not send it directly to the mansion?"

"He sent a letter to the palace, and he used to expedite it by [-] miles. This was caught in the letter to his mother." Ming Yilan said, "I don't know how this kid is doing now. He wrote a letter saying that Lin Yuan had arrived in the capital. He doesn't even have a supper, and he's very hungry at night, which makes my sister-in-law feel bad, and asked me to ask your uncle if he has any unique secret recipes."

Lin Daiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It happened that she was taking a rest today, so she asked someone to send the letter, and delivered the letter as it was.

When Ming Yilan was about to leave, Lin Yuan's servant Yanzhu sent a reply letter, and another piece of paper was the so-called unique secret recipe.

Lin Daiyu was curious, so she looked at it first, and almost laughed out loud, "Yangchun noodles without green onions, fried rice with eggs without green onions, white porridge with honey ginger. Are these three?"

Ming Yilan directly explained that Boyu was weird.

From time to time, Yan Ji picked Lin Yuan's rest time to come to the Lin Mansion to ask for lessons. He could see Lin Daiyu once in a while, and gave gifts such as colorful talking parrots, rare books of famous artists, and so on.

Before he knew it, it had been more than two years, and Yan Ji had also passed the provincial examination. Although he was no better than Lin Yuan, he was not worse. After a few days, he doesn't know how much better he is than Lin Yuan, why Lin Yuan can be the top one, but he can't. Lin Yuan took the exam with Xie's family in the first subject."

He and Lin Daiyu's wedding date was set at the end of May after the palace examination, when the weather was neither too hot nor too cold.

Lin Daiyu's dowry has been neatly packed and placed in a yard, and the maids are still rushing to make some small things like purse fan covers for her.

Because Yan Ji has the title of son of Changle County, Lin Daiyu's wedding dress is according to the specifications of the wife of the county son. Ming Yilan begged the Queen Mother and Queen Gan early in the morning, and finally decided that Queen Gan would reward the wedding dress with a phoenix crown, and the Queen Mother added the first part of the dowry one.

The queen mother said, "The title of county son is too low. The Ai family originally wanted to give him a promotion, but the emperor said that brother Ji must go to high school this time, and he can convince everyone by himself."

"That's good. He borrowed his father's shadow. Now that he's grown up, he naturally has to rely on himself. From now on, he will earn his wife's Fengguanxiapei. We are doing our best." Ming Yi Lan said, "I hope he can do some practical things for His Majesty in the future."

"When the time comes, the princess will have to let Miss Lin come into the palace for me to see. Every time my sister comes back, she always says how talented and beautiful Miss Lin is. I won't even see her." Empress Gan never had a queen in front of Ming Yilan. Shelf, "The person she likes so much must be an excellent character."

"You can't believe what she said. She has always been close to whomever she wants to hold in the sky. If you don't believe me, ask yourself what it's like to be with her. It's like the Nine Heavens Xuannv descended to earth, and she is not worthy of you, the queen sister." Ming Yilan didn't expect Gan and Lin Daiyu to hit each other so well, and said that she would definitely come to add makeup to Lin Daiyu.

Empress Gan covered her mouth and smiled, "Since I rewarded the wedding dress, I will also come to the first dowry. Princess don't refuse, I even found everything. Speaking of it, it was the former empress dowry." Reward me with three stars of fortune, fortune and longevity. Her old man has a lot of blessings, so ask her to bless and bless this young couple."

"You can take it at ease. When the empress dowager was here, she was always thinking about brother Ji. Finally, this child got married and started a career. By the way, there are still things that I will give to brother Ji at that time. The queen doesn't care. Said I almost forgot." The queen mother said, asking someone to open a private treasury and rewarding many things.

Ming Yilan was grateful and embarrassed at the same time, "If this child does not do well in the imperial examination, I will really let you down."

"How can it be bad, you put your heart down, and you will definitely let him marry a wife in a prosperous manner." The queen mother patted her hand and comforted her, "The emperor ordered people, why are you panicking."

Seeing this year's Qionglin Banquet, Ming Yao laughed and said, "Teacher, now this Tanhua, are you going to save or not?"
