I am a man in a dream

And when Daiyu heard it, she wept secretly when she went back, and Zijuan couldn't help but go up to comfort her: "The girl is too caring. It is good for the girl to have a man in the house. After all, there is a helper, and the girl should be happy." .”

Daiyu spat: "What do you know, you little hoof? You say you are an elder brother, but you are just an outsider. If you are not your own elder brother, how could it be any better?"

"Miss, you're thinking about it. To be honest, even the adopted son is also included in the genealogy. Those who have passed the ancestral hall are either brothers or something. It is the second master who is not close in his heart. Anyway, this relationship is there, he doesn't care who it is." I don't care." Saying that, he made Daiyu's bed and helped her to slump, "Besides, the master rescued him from the dead, but anyone with a conscience should take care of the girl, otherwise it's unreasonable. On the other hand, Master is such an understanding person. Over the years, he has never thought of adopting a son. It must be reasonable for him to suddenly recognize his son. A man raises a son."

After hearing this, Daiyu felt relieved, but at least her gloom dissipated.

The autumn leaves fall, and the cold water goes north.The gate of the Gongyuan was tightly locked, dignified and dignified, and even the paint that was about to fall off was also very upright.In front of the courtyard, the crowded crowd looked at the gate of the Gongyuan together, waiting anxiously one by one.

"Second Master is coming out soon, prepare towels and fragrant tea, and when Second Master comes out, he will moisten his throat and refresh himself." A young servant in blue looked around, not forgetting to order the people behind him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the tribute courtyard rang, and the crowd was even more ebullient, eager to rush up in groups.The government soldiers outside the courtyard hurriedly blocked it with their big-headed guns, and shouted: "Back! Back!"

After a while, the door opened, and the students came out one by one, with different expressions.The blue-clothed boy's eyes were sharp, and when he saw his master, he immediately shouted: "Second master!"

Lin Hongming looked over and saw his young servant waving his hand to call, and hurriedly walked over: "Qianqing!"

The servant named Qianqing hurriedly took the basket, handed over a wet towel, waited for Lin Hongming to wipe his face, and brought fragrant tea.Lin Hongming took a sip and suddenly felt that the five internal organs were dredging, and he felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but praised: "It's hard for you to think carefully. I have been suffocated these few days. I just feel that my whole body is full of lice, and it is very dirty."

"Grandpa is suffering. Sister Yaqi has prepared hot water in the yard, and master has already prepared meals, just waiting for master to come home."

After talking, a few people got into the car and went home all the way.It was already half an hour after I changed my clothes in a refreshing manner. I was afraid that the master would wait for a long time, so I hurried to the front hall. Come and eat."

"Father is concerned, my son is rude." Lin Hongming saluted before sitting down.The servants serve the meal with tea.

Lin Ruhai held the chopsticks and put a chopstick dish on Lin Hongming's plate: "I've been eating and drinking hard these days, my son needs to eat more."

"It's nothing. Although the Gongyuan is poor, the son is focused on the exam, so he doesn't think it's a problem. As for the father, he has been worrying about his heart these days, and he has really worked hard for his son." Lin Hongming put a chopstick of fried bamboo shoots on Lin Ruhai's dinner plate inside.After Lin Ruhai picked it up and ate it, Lin Hongming began to eat it.

"Have you heard? Master Lin is bringing Second Master Lin here?" A little girl said excitedly. "Who did you hear it from?" "The girl in the old lady's room said it. Erye Lin passed the township test. It is rare for a person who has just turned 11 years old. Our master was so happy that he kept boasting." "So, Ms. Lin will have hope in the future." "No, the old lady is also happy, and has sent Sister Amber to report to Ms. Lin." "This time, Ms. Lin will be happy too." "That's not necessarily the case After all, he is not his real brother." The girl snorted.

In the green gauze cupboard, as soon as Lin Daiyu received the letter, the three Yingchun sisters came happily: "Sister Lin, congratulations."

"Third sister, you are here!" Lin Daiyu hurriedly stood up and took Tanchun's hand.

Jia Tanchun laughed and said, "I've heard for a long time that Brother Lin is outstanding in learning. As expected, he will be a candidate on the eleventh day. It's really rare. Sister Lin will have a good brother in the future."

"If you want me to say, it would be great if Brother Lin was a girl, and we could be together every day. It's a pity that he gave birth to a man and took the imperial examination. It's really vulgar." Jia Baoyu said regretfully.

"Second brother is talking nonsense again. A girl can't ride a horse or draw a bow. It's better than a man going out to start a career." Jia Tanchun said.

Lin Daiyu smiled slightly, didn't say anything, but ordered Zijuan to serve tea.Jia Yingchun said: "I heard that the younger brother of the Lin family will leave at the end of October. I'm afraid it will be Chinese New Year when we get here."

"That's good, this year is going to be lively." Jia Tanchun took over the words.

In December, the city was already full of snow and wind. Master Lin sat in a sedan chair because of his poor health. Lin Hongming didn't like to be restrained, so he rode ahead on horseback.After passing through Ningrong Street, when we came to the main gate of Rongguo Mansion, the butlers had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the sedan chair arrived, they rushed down to greet them: "I'm looking forward to your arrival, the Elder Master and the Second Master have been waiting for you." After opening the curtain and helping Lin Ruhai get off the sedan chair, the servant hurriedly led Lin Hongming's horse, and another servant helped Lin Hongming get off the horse.After passing the main gate, Jia Zheng and the others were already waiting outside the second gate. Seeing Lin Ruhai and the others, they hurried up to greet them: "It was said that they would come at the beginning of the month, but why did they arrive in the middle of the month? The old lady was in a hurry."

"Lao's mother is pregnant. She originally set off in October, but because she fell ill on the way, she rested for half a month, and it has been delayed until now." Lin Ruhai coughed and said.

Jia Zheng hurriedly asked, "How is it now?"

"Fortunately, you have Hong'er, it's much better." Lin Ruhai patted Lin Hongming on the shoulder, and ordered, "This is your second uncle." Lin Hongming hurriedly saluted.Jia Zheng is a person who loves talents, and he has long been fond of his nephew. Today, seeing Lin Hongming's handsome appearance and brilliant appearance, he feels that Baoyu is not as good as him, and he can't help but praise: "My brother-in-law has raised a good son. , What an extraordinary talent and appearance!" Lin Ruhai said politely, and introduced Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong to Lin Hongming one by one, and Lin Hongming looked at them carefully after seeing each one.Jia Zheng has a good appearance, nearly fifty, but he is also energetic, but his brows are serious and rigid, not like a flexible person.Jia Amnesty was getting old, his body was fat, and he was a bit old, his eyes were slightly swollen and cloudy, he didn't look like a serious person.Jia Zhen is about forty years old, with shrewd eyes and bright eyes.Jia Lian is handsome, tall and straight, and looks like a talent.Jia Rong is delicate and fair, but less masculine.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "In October, my uncle was preparing to enter the capital. The old lady kept talking about it. Now that he is here, the old lady should feel relieved."

"So, let's go see the old lady." Jia She said.

A group of people chatted and laughed, passed through the second gate, and arrived at the inner courtyard. Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Youshi, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, the three sisters of the Jia family, Jia Baoyu, and Lin Daiyu had long been waiting. Seeing Lin Ruhai, they smiled and said : "But wait!" Lin Ruhai bowed and said, "Greetings to mother!"

"Get up!" Mother Jia raised her hand and smiled.

Lin Ruhai ordered Lin Hongming to visit again: "I met your grandmother!"

Lin Hongming took advantage of Lin Ruhai's salute and looked at it for a while. Although Jia's mother was old, she was in good spirits, and she looked kind and kind.Hearing Lin Ruhai's order, the girl had already laid out the cushions, and Lin Hongming paid homage, kowtowed, and saluted.Jia's mother said lightly: "Get up!" Lin Daiyu hadn't seen her father for three years, and she missed her father very much. When she saw her today, she was both happy and sad. She saluted in a hurry and shed two lines of tears: "Father!" Lin Ruhai was delighted to see her daughter, and the corners of her eyes were moist: "Yu'er has grown up, it shows that your grandmother raised her well."

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed when he saw her, and said that her daughter's family had icy muscles and bones, and it was rare in the world to have such a man with a beautiful voice and appearance. It can be seen that I usually have little knowledge, and I didn't know that there are such people in the world. I have lived for nothing. I think He couldn't stop walking.Lin Hongming saw Jia Baoyu at a glance, his face was really beautiful, and he really looked good.Jia Baoyu took Lin Hongming with both hands and praised: "I heard that the second brother Lin was born outstanding, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation." Lin Hongming smiled and said: "I heard my father mentioning Brother Bao, and I have a heart to meet." The two were exchanging greetings, Mrs. Wang said: "It's cold outside, let's go in and talk about it." Jia Mu said: "Yes, I saw that I was only happy when I saw my uncle came, but I forgot. Let's go inside and let them get to know each other well." Mrs. Wang With Wang Xifeng helping Jia Mu, Lin Daiyu supporting Lin Ruhai, the group entered the Rongxi Hall in a mighty manner, and sat down one by one.

Jia's mother asked: "In July, when you wrote a letter and told me about the situation, I wanted to see you. Now that I have met Brother Hong, he is a pretty good boy." In the end, who would have thought that there is still such a fate, and it is also a gift from heaven, so that my Lin family has a successor." Then, he told Daiyu: "Go and see your brother!"

Lin Daiyu stood up, bowed down and bowed: "Brother!" Lin Hongming hastily returned the salute: "Sister is well!" Both of them raised their heads in surprise.Daiyu originally thought that this elder brother must be a rigid scholar who got into stereotyped essays, but who would have thought that his face would be so strange.Although Lin Hongming knew Daiyu's transcendent appearance, he was still amazed when he saw it today. No wonder the book described it in heavy ink. This appearance is truly unparalleled in the world.

When she was young, Mrs. Wang recommended Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and the three sisters of the Jia family. Lin Hongming sat down after seeing them all.Jia Zheng asked: "It's rare for my brother-in-law to come to the capital today, but I have to stay for a while." Lin Ruhai said: "I went to the book in October, and took half a year's leave. A year ago, the family reunited. After the year, the business is busy, I couldn't get away, so I had to go back. It's just that Hong'er had just won the Juren. I thought that Suzhou was no better than Duzhong. I thought that if he had a chance to see him in the capital, he might go to Taixue to study the Four Books and Five Classics, and prepare for university in three years. Compare."

Jia Zheng agreed very much: "In this case, it is better to live in the mansion than to live outside." Lin Hongming felt a little dissatisfied when he heard this. , getting along with them will be satisfactory, so before Lin Ruhai could say anything, he replied: "Uncle is thoughtful, but my nephew dares not to obey. I just disturb you, and I really feel uneasy."

"What's the matter, a family of flesh and blood, as it should be." Jia Zheng said.

Lin Ruhai said: "Second brother is troublesome. I originally thought that he and his nephews would study and improve together, but he was afraid of being disturbed, so I wanted to let him stay for two months, wait for the house to be cleaned up, and then move there. No, I have already signed up for him in Taixue, and I will go to study in the spring of the new year. Studying requires hard work. I want to let him live in Taixue to save distractions. In this way, he can study with peace of mind. , can still visit from time to time, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" After hearing this, Jia's mother said, "That's fine, but Yu'er will still follow me, so I can't pick him up."

"That's natural. My son-in-law can rest assured that his mother has raised him." Lin Ruhai laughed.Lin Ruhai's arrival broke the usual, and it's the end of the new year now, I don't know how to celebrate this year, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
