Red Mansions: No Tears

?Lin Yu suddenly remembered Wang Xifeng's lending of loan sharks, and knew that it was not something he could interfere with, so he wrote a rough letter to Jiang Ke in the suburbs of Beijing, just because he remembered that Jiang Ke seemed to mention it to him. Some people secretly collected the criminal evidence of the four kings and eight lords, and said that the Lin family and the Jia family are in-laws after all. The Lin family was not implicated, so he secretly advised Lin Yu if there was any opportunity to make meritorious service, he had better grasp it in time. Anyway, he could help deliver the news, and Lin Yu didn't need to come forward in person.

For the sake of Jiang Ke's future sister-in-law, Lin Yu is still willing to trust him a little bit. Moreover, if the other party asks him how he knew about this matter after it is told, he can also say that Lin Daiyu accidentally discovered it... In other words When he came back, why did he feel that Lin Daiyu's tone of voice was a bit... weird?

Lin Yu shook his head, thinking amusedly, maybe it's because of his time travel that Sister Lin's temperament is very different from what was written in the book, right?After all, Sister Lin in the book returned directly to Jia’s house and never took care of any housework, unlike his sister who had been in charge of housework for several years in Suzhou. Maybe it was for this reason that Sister Lin paid special attention to it. Is the monthly payment of the Jia family abnormal?Tut tut!Although from a normal point of view, Lin Daiyu knows that it is a good thing to run a family properly, but from another point of view, there is such a gap between a fluttering fairy who never eats the fireworks of the world and falls into a mediocre girl who has to worry about mundane things every day. The great change made him feel a deep sense of guilt...

The day before New Year's Eve, Mother Jia sent someone to ask Lin Daiyu to go to Rongguo Duke's mansion to celebrate the New Year. Lin Daiyu naturally declined. She didn't have a home of her own, but went to someone else's house to celebrate the New Year. Although the Lin family is only her and Lin Yu now. Just two people, compared to the kind of big family gathering together, it seems much deserted, but it's better than one person, isn't it?What's more, there are a group of women and maids accompanying her. Although Nanny Wen and her are masters and servants, because of Nanny Wen's loyalty to the Lin family for many years, Lin Daiyu is very willing to treat her as her own family in her heart. is also like this.

Two days before the Lantern Festival, Jiang Ke specially asked for a few days off from the academy, brought the New Year gift sent to him by Mrs. Jiang, and made a special trip to visit Lin's house.

"I heard that you brought Miss Lin back from Rongguo Duke's Mansion?" Jiang Ke didn't mention what Lin Yu told him, but he was very concerned about Lin Daiyu's recent situation.

"Isn't it?! How can people stay in the mansion? I, a girl, managed to raise a white and fat girl. I only lived there for a few months, and I lost more than half of my weight. What are you talking about? Aristocratic family! Even My life was not as good as before." Lin Yu said angrily.

"It's better to leave as soon as possible, otherwise Miss Lin's reputation will really be dragged down." Jiang Ke took a sip of hot tea, and felt a burst of warmth all over his body.

"What?! Is there something wrong with the Jia family?" Lin Yu felt that Jiang Ke had something to say, so he asked curiously.

"A few days ago, some students in the academy took a few poems from somewhere and asked us to comment on them. Because some people thought that the poems were well written, they asked a few more questions out of curiosity, only to find out that those poems were actually written by Rong Guogong. Although it is not the original manuscript written by a few female relatives in the mansion, it is not a good thing for the works of the women in the boudoir to be spread outside and judged by many men." Jiang Ke said with a sigh.

"No... There are also my sister's poems in it?!" Lin Yu has never seen Lin Daiyu's poems, but he remembers that in the original book, Lin Daiyu's and Xue Baochai's poems are comparable, since other people's poems have been circulated , Naturally, these two people are indispensable.

"How can I, a foreigner, know about this kind of thing? I only heard that those poems were written by some girls in the Rongguo Mansion because they were bored and built a Begonia Poetry Club. , There are also those who sing Qiuju, who are also named with their own aliases, there is Qiushuang Layman, there is Hengwu Lord, and there is something like Mr. Yihong." Jiang Ke smiled lightly and replied very frankly.

"Oh!" Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, fortunately!fortunately!There is no such nickname as 'Xiao, Xiang, Concubine, Zi', eh? !Right!His younger sister didn't live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so naturally he didn't need that alias, but he remembered that Shi Xiangyun lived in that place now, so why is Shi Xiangyun useless?Hmm... Maybe the temperament doesn't match?According to the news he knew, although Shi Xiangyun is not a female man, she is not related to the word "crying bag". Just close.

"Miss Lin already knows about the engagement?" Jiang Ke suddenly asked again.

"Uh~~Actually, I wanted to keep it a secret for a while longer, but unfortunately I accidentally... But she doesn't seem to be dissatisfied. She must have accepted this matter, right?" Lin Yu shrank her neck and said guiltyly. laughed.

"Can I see her?" Although Jiang Ke and Lin Daiyu have been together for a short time, he also knows that this girl is not without her own opinions, but that she is not devoted enough to too many things, but he thinks that since they are destined to be married, some You can't just muddle along, even if it is enough to make her a very qualified headed mistress, it does not mean that she is the most qualified wife.

"Of course it can! Anyway, I'm here, and you're a fiancée, so there's nothing wrong with breaking the rules." Lin Yu said, and asked the servant outside to invite Lin Daiyu to come to the study outside.

"But I want to say a few words 'alone' with Miss Lin..." Jiang Ke especially emphasized the word 'alone'.

"This...then~ okay! I'll go to the next door first, and I'll come back after you finish talking." Lin Yu seemed to be struggling after thinking about it. After all, he was not an extremely conservative ancient person, and there were still people outside the door The little servant and the maid guarded him, so it can’t be said that he was really alone. Besides, it’s normal for the young couple to have something to say in private. If he is not accommodating, it would seem that he is not generous enough, and when he goes to the academy in the future, he will have to rely on the support of his seniors... So He had no choice but to get up and walk out the door, but he still seemed to be unwillingly taking one step, two steps, one step, two steps, and when he reached the door, it happened that... Lin Daiyu also came.

"Where is brother going?" Lin Daiyu asked amusedly when she came near the outer study and saw Lin Yu walking out awkwardly, and then stopped outside the door for a long time.

"I~ I'm going to drink tea next door! Have some snacks! You talk to Brother Jiang Qi, and remember to ask the kitchen to add a few more dishes at noon." After Lin Yu finished speaking, he turned around and went to the room next to the outer study for the boy. Drilled into the small room where the tea was made.

"...?!" Lin Daiyu stared blankly at Lin Yu's figure of "Luo Pao", feeling extremely speechless, and after a while, she turned and walked into the outer study.

"Why is Jiang Qige free to come? Is the academy closed these days?" Lin Daiyu didn't quite understand the schedule of the academy. When she saw that Jiang Ke was free to visit her, she thought it was because the academy was also on a New Year's holiday.

Jiang Ke had already seen Lin Daiyu when she approached the outer study. He hadn't seen her for three years. The 14-year-old Lin Daiyu was more beautiful and graceful than before. He never expected that Lin Daiyu would be so beautiful after she grew up. No wonder that kid from the Jia family had several beautiful women by his side, but he still couldn't forget her. Fortunately, he had settled her down early. Otherwise, wouldn't such a beautiful woman take advantage of that worthless kid?

Jiang Ke blinked, and found that Lin Daiyu was just looking at him with a puzzled face, so he smiled a little embarrassedly: "I thought about Lin Yu's first New Year in the capital, and I heard that you came back, so I specially asked my teacher I came to see you for a few days off, and told Lin Yu about the situation in the academy by the way."

"Oh! Then my brother sent someone to call me...?" Lin Daiyu nodded seemingly knowingly, but then felt that something was wrong. Since they have something to talk about, why did they ask her?Help pour tea? !

"I asked him to find you, I..." Jiang Ke pondered for a while, should he just confess?Or is it better to have a sniff?

"Huh? Brother Jiang Qi has something to tell me? If so, you might as well just say it, even if it's... I can accept it." Lin Daiyu turned her head and saw Jiang Ke's expressionless appearance. After secretly analyzing all the situations he had seen, he felt that Jiang Ke's reaction at this time was probably... Maybe he wanted to change his mind?He might be a little~ not satisfied with the engagement between them?In fact, this is not impossible. After all, they have not even exchanged a letter for more than half a year, and she lives in a place as famous as the Rongguo Mansion. Heh~ Jiang Ke wants to go back on his word It's no surprise either.

"I heard my mother mentioned in a letter from home that you already know about your marriage contract... I, I want to ask if you don't like it?" Jiang Ke blushed rarely, but he heard Lin Daiyu's rhetorical question. Can muster up the courage to express the truth directly.

"What about Brother Jiang Qi? Is Brother Jiang Qi satisfied with this marriage, or...is he satisfied with me?" Lin Daiyu didn't answer, but just asked the same question.

"How could you be dissatisfied?! Don't you think that... no! No! I'm not dissatisfied with this matter at all, and I'm worried that you don't like it..." Jiang Ke waved his hands in panic, trying his best Express your innocence.

"Since there is no such thing, why do you ask such a question? Did Brother Jiang Qi hear some gossip outside, so he misunderstood?" Lin Daiyu remembered that when she was in Rongguo Duke's mansion, she had heard Jia Tanchun complain unintentionally. Jia Baoyu took out the poems they wrote in the poetry club for others to copy, but because she only participated in the opening of the club once from the beginning to the end, the poems she wrote at that time were also brought back directly, and did not stay there for Jia Baoyu to use. The opportunity was taken outside, so naturally he didn't take it to heart, but... Could it be that Jiang Ke has already read those poems?Do you even mistakenly think that there are poems written by her, so you feel unhappy? ?
