The Hulk of the Red Chamber

If it is said that Shi Hong felt fond of Lin Daiyu the first time he met Lin Daiyu, that would be absolutely slander.Although everyone appreciates beautiful things, but if you have any thoughts about a girl in her early ten years old, it is a beast.

Therefore, Shi Hong just picked up a chopstick of shredded bamboo shoots for himself as if nothing had happened, and put it in his mouth. When he raised his head again, he could only vaguely see the corner of his clothes.

There is also a reason for Lin Daiyu to walk around the garden at the moment. The mother Zhao has stayed in the palace for many years and is quite knowledgeable. Seeing that Lin Daiyu is weak, she asks Lin Daiyu to walk slowly in the garden every day after dinner before going back to rest. After growing up, Lin Daiyu's body is naturally stronger. Except for some discomfort when the seasons change, she is no different from normal, and she doesn't need to take medicine frequently.In this regard, the Lin family was naturally happy to see the results, and it happened that during this period of time, when Lin Daiyu was out for a walk, it was a coincidence that Shi Hong could meet her.

Shi Hong didn't take this matter at ease, and naturally he wouldn't tell Lin Ruhai whether he saw a girl just now, whether it was your daughter or not, and these days, even if he met face to face, he should take a few steps back instead of looking directly at her. .Therefore, he continued to eat as if nothing had happened, and did not pay attention to the rules of not talking when eating or sleeping. He talked with Lin Ruhai. I ate a few more bites.When Shi Hong's frequency of moving his chopsticks dropped, he knew that Shi Hong was almost full, so he put down the bowls and chopsticks and ordered the table to be cleaned up. Face, rested for a moment, and served the new autumn tea.

Lin Ruhai was in a better mood, so he continued to talk about some elegant things with Shi Hong, and then mentioned Shi Hong, his room teacher Yang He's temperament and preferences, and said that Yang He appreciated him quite a lot, and the Yang family also liked him a lot. Acting as an official, even though the official position is not very high, and he has no real power, he still has some influence, allowing Shi Hong to get close to Yang He Duoduo.Shi Hong listened very carefully, and asked Lin Ruhai about the other rankings in this subject. Although Lin Ruhai didn't clear up all of them, he knew a lot more than Shi Hong.When Shi Hong asked Xie Yuan and Zou Huairen of this subject, Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and said: "I didn't have a good reputation before, so I really don't know! But it seems that this background is not high, and the pattern in his chest is limited. , but there are talents and learning! Since we are the same year, we should get closer in the future!"

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was also vague, Shi Hong couldn't help suspecting that there was something wrong with Zou Huairen's identity, but he tactfully did not ask. Since Lin Ruhai also seemed to have some scruples, Shi Hong, a second-generation underage, naturally couldn't get to the bottom of it, lest he end up in the end. Trouble, but I still decided to ask Shi Ding after I went back.

According to Lin Ruhai's thinking, it is still too early for Shi Hong to join the next subject, but to earn capital, it is natural to rush in sooner rather than later. Since Shi Hong is sure, there is no need to study hard for another three years and waste a few years in vain Time, therefore, began to instill some problems that Shi Hong should pay attention to in the examination.The township examination was in August, and some people fell ill because of it, but the examination was in early spring and February, and it was quite cold in the north, so they had to wear unlined clothes, which was a test of physical fitness.Therefore, Lin Ruhai naturally asked Shi Hong to take good care of his health in the next time, so as not to damage his body and hinder his future.

Lin Ruhai taught Shi Hong earnestly, Lin Daiyu has already walked back to her own room, and now she can be said to depend on Lin Ruhai for life, and with the help of Mother Zhao, she has started to take care of the Lin family's housework a while ago .For the sake of his father's health, he often asked about Lin Ruhai's daily life, and now he called out and asked, "Father can eat today, is it delicious?"

"Master saw a newcomer this morning. At noon, he left them with a bowl of clear soup noodles, and the master also had half a bowl with him. Later, he left Master Shijia to talk. Just now, he asked for another table and waited on the waiter. Said, the master used half a bowl of pheasant soup more than usual!" It was Lin Ruhai's daughter-in-law who was in charge of Lin Xi who answered with a smile, "Speaking of which, the Shi family master is also capable, every time the Shi family master, the master's appetite will always be good Some!" This is also normal, there is a person with a great appetite on the table, which will naturally improve your appetite, if you don't eat cat food, you must maintain your image no matter how hungry you are, and don't dare to exaggerate.

For Shi Hong, Lin Daiyu has always been only famous, and has never actually met her. When she was in Jia's family, she heard that Shi Hong was a hard-working man who could study.Every time the Jia family talks about it, even though they will say what a family like ours is, they are still the eldest son of Xijue, so why bother to fight for the future with those poor scholars!But the envy in his eyes couldn't be coaxed.Sometimes, I would hear Tanchun use Shi Hong's example to advise Jia Baoyu to work hard, but he was choked up by Jia Baoyu's remarks about "lu beetles", but he sighed in private, if he had such a willingness to A brother who is motivated by studies is willing to compromise his own luck, but Jia Baoyu is full of cleverness and never wants to put it in his studies.Although Tanchun and Jia Huan are real brothers, Jia Huan still can't see what talent he has in reading, and seeing what his aunt Wangfu means, he wants to raise this bastard directly. Afraid of not being able to get ahead, even if Tanchun wanted to help, he would have nowhere to help, and would offend Mrs. Wang instead.Tanchun's future future is controlled by her aunt Wang Fu, even after she gets married, Jia Baoyu is the only brother she can rely on, so it is only natural for her to please Wang Fu and do needlework for Jia Baoyu.

Later, Lin Daiyu became best friends with Shi Xiangni, and Shi Xiangni often showed off Shi Hong, how Shi Hong could study, and how gentle and considerate he was to their sisters. Therefore, Lin Daiyu had a good impression of Shi Hong who had never met.

Now I heard that because Shi Hong accompanied my father to eat, my father used it more than usual, so she couldn't help showing joy. She thought for a while and asked, "I heard that Senior Brother Shi was No. 4 in the provincial examination this time?"

"That's not it!" Lin Xijia said with a smile, "I heard from the head of the family that the master was afraid that the historian would be young and arrogant, so he deliberately lowered the ranking! In fact, according to the knowledge of the historian, it is Xie Yuanlang of this subject." It's not as good as him!" Many times, the master is not as well-informed as the slave on some things.Lin Daiyu is still young now, Lin Ruhai and those around him will not mention her lifelong events in front of her, but Lin Xi has always been by Lin Ruhai's side, serving as a book boy in the past, and now a long-term follower, he can understand Lin Ruhai's thoughts □ Not far from ten, naturally know that Shi Hong is not only Lin Ruhai's student in name, but actually Lin Ruhai treats him as his son-in-law.Therefore, I also told my daughter-in-law in private.Lin Xi's family naturally wants to say a few good words for Shi Hong at this moment, of course, it can't be too much, just to let Lin Daiyu have a good impression of Shi Hong.

Although Lin Daiyu is relatively precocious, but at this age, she really doesn't think about the relationship between a man and a woman. Therefore, just thinking that her father loves Shi Hong, a senior brother, and Shi Hong won the election again, the Lin family naturally wants to express some congratulations. It will be Double Ninth Festival in a few days, so naturally this time the etiquette will be thicker, and a little more for Shi Hong.Although Lin Daiyu said she was high-spirited, she was extremely talented financially as a housekeeper. Even though she was still young when Jia Min went there, and the Jia family didn't teach her, Zhao Mammy just mentioned a few things, and she quickly got involved. hand, let Zhao mama secretly praise her talent.These days, for girls from everyone's background, the reputation of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and talented women is all false. This kind of reputation cannot be spread at all, otherwise don't think it is frivolous.After all, in this era, men are really superior to women, and no matter how talented a woman is, she will have to marry in the future and take care of her husband and raise her children.Especially with Lin Daiyu's status, even if she doesn't have a biological mother, she will be picky about her marriage. However, after all, she is the eldest daughter of a second-rank official and comes from a scholarly family. It is inevitable that she will marry a noble family in the future. On the contrary, the knowledge of the housekeeper is the most important thing. Lin Daiyu is talented and able to manage the Lin family in an orderly manner. It will be a big advantage when they get married in the future.

At this moment, after asking Madam Zhao, he began to draw up the gift list, adding [-]% to the previous basis, and adding a Duan inkstone and a box of high-quality ancient ink to the one for Shi Hong alone.Then, put the matter aside.

While deliberating over the gift list, Mother Zhao began to chatter: "The girl should think more about herself. There is no headed mistress in the family, so it is not easy to take the girl out to socialize. The family is now on good terms with Zhongjinghou's residence, and Zhongjing Hou Fu looked kind, and he had to trouble Zhongjing Houfu to take the girl around after waiting for the girl. Therefore, the New Year's gift for Zhongjinghou's mansion had to be more careful, and it didn't have to be too expensive. Instead, it should be caring!"

After all, Mother Zhao is not the elder of the Lin family, so naturally she doesn't know Lin Ruhai's plan for the time being, she only thinks that even if she came out of the palace, but, after all, she has no job, no matter how respected her family is, to put it bluntly, she is just a senior servant Forget it, naturally he didn't have the face to lead Lin Daiyu into the social circle of Chang'an Houzhai.There is no hope for the Jia family. Mother Zhao has been in Chang'an for many years, and she knows a lot about many families in the capital. , I really have to rely on the support of historians, so it is natural to remind Lin Daiyu a thing or two.

Lin Daiyu thought about it, so she took up a pen and revised it again, and added her own purse needlework to Shi Xiangni and Qin Fu's share, Zhao Mama looked again, and then nodded——
