Red Mansions: No Tears

?Lin Daiyu's birthday, as the future husband's family, Jiang's family never forgets to come from afar to give gifts, but there is only the uncle's family who is right in front of me. It has been a few days since her birthday, and there is still no news, let alone a gift. Well, in the original book, none of the masters and maids of the Jia family remember Lin Daiyu's birthday. To put it bluntly, even the grandma and grandma don't take it seriously, let alone those people who are separated by a layer?

Fortunately, Lin Daiyu had expected this kind of result, and wished that the Jia family would never come to her house, so she didn't take it to heart. It's a pity... There are always a few top-notch people in life who really want to get rid of them. not drop.

The two major events that flashed through Lin Daiyu's mind happened this year. One is the death of a concubine in the harem, and the other is Jia Jingbintian. But Lin Daiyu is missing.

It is worth mentioning that the concubine who died of illness in the palace was not someone else, but a daughter of the Zhen family in Jinling. Therefore, the death of concubine Zhen due to illness seems to have made many people see some kind of sign, especially Concubine Zhen had just summoned the eldest wife of the Zhen family before she died, but she didn't know if Concubine Zhen had warned Mrs. Zhen a few words, or maybe she felt that the emperor could not shake their Zhen family.

Because the emperor has issued an order to the world, all noble families are not allowed to have banquets and music within a year. This will be a pain for those noble families who can only spend their days with big banquets and small banquets, but they can't do it on the surface However, it doesn't mean that they can't come here secretly, let alone that they can't visit each other as guests, so Zhao Hua, who has been doing nothing in the palace for several days, simply came to Lin's house as a guest.

"Why is Sister Hua coming to my sister's place when you have time?" Lin Daiyu was also very surprised by Zhao Hua's sudden visit. After all, social etiquette has always been valued in the aristocratic circle. Choose a day to come to your door.

"I'm sorry~ I was really bored, so I went out in a hurry. I just wanted to get some air, but I didn't expect to inform you first." Zhao Hua stuck out his tongue apologetically.

"Didn't you go to sister Ru's?" Lin Daiyu asked again, thinking that Luo Xinru and Zhao Hua had a deeper friendship than her, and Zhao Hua should go to Luo's house first.

"I dare not go to Luo's house. There are no fewer girls in Luo's inner house than in the palace. Ru's sister's house and the other two houses have not yet separated. You don't know~ Every time I talk to Ru's sister, it's never once. It can be quiet, the girls in the other houses and the girls in the side branches are always making excuses one by two to get close. When my brother was not married before, they looked at the position of the main house, and they were all jealous. Now After marrying a sister-in-law, the girls from the first line gave up, but there are still a few offspring who are unwilling to give up, and they don't even think about it. If my brother wants to marry a daughter from the Luo family, will he wait until now? Even my mother I never thought of asking my brother to marry a girl from the Luo family." Zhao Hui twitched her lips and replied with a look of contempt.

"The Luo family... isn't it good?" Lin Daiyu asked with some doubts in her heart.

"Hey! I can't say whether it's good or bad, but you know that no one can guarantee that all the big families that have been passed down for generations can guarantee that everyone in the family will make progress. The same is true for the Luo family. Uncle's title of third-class general is as high as His generation has also come to an end, and it will not be inherited anymore. However, several cousins ​​still don’t know what is good or bad. They are all daughters, so far they don't have half a son. Over the years, the second aunt has stuffed the second uncle with a house full of aunts and maids, but the result is still the same. I went to see them during the Chinese New Year. Looking at the second aunt at that time, it seemed that they had given up their children. , but the third uncle is not bad. Back then, he had a long-term vision, and he abandoned literature and turned to martial arts early. Now he is a fifth-rank military general, no worse than the fifth-rank general of the eldest uncle, and the future husband-in-law of the elder sister is the third uncle. The son of a colleague, the fifth cousin heard that he also entered the military camp for training, so he should have planned to inherit the mantle of the third uncle." When Zhao Hua mentioned the Luo family, he said everything without omitting Lin Daiyu. as an outsider.

"Really? That's my sister..." Lin Daiyu really didn't expect Luo Xinru to be one year older than Zhao Hua, but not yet married. Uh~ there is no way, although she has been here for several years, but she subconsciously I still feel that girls don't have to marry too early.

"I originally agreed to get married in September this year, but I didn't expect to meet the national funeral. I heard that the two families have already negotiated to postpone the wedding until the beginning of next spring. It seems that they will pass the door as soon as the national funeral is over." Zhao Hua sidelined After thinking for a while, he said.

"Oh!" Speaking of other people's marriages, Lin Daiyu suddenly remembered that Jiang Ke had said that he intended to make Lin Yu and Zhao Hua a couple?But it seems that there is no news after that?Could it be that after seeing Lin Yu, Zhao Hui didn't think he caught his eye?Hmm... It's not impossible, after all, they are the royal family, and the status of the Lin family is just a little better than that of ordinary people. After all, they are still ordinary people. Unless Lin Yu wins the election in the future, otherwise... Hehe~.

Not only did Lin Daiyu think of this matter, even Zhao Hua seemed to have a tacit understanding. Just after the end of the sentence, she also thought that a few days ago, her mother, Concubine Luo, brought her to talk, and what she was talking about was her marriage. The problem, because I have failed too many times before, no one dares to say whether I will succeed next time, but this time, the object proposed by my own son is really too low in family status, even if the other party has good character and talent. , she still worried that her daughter would be wronged.

However, when they met for the first time during the Lantern Festival, Zhao Hua had already left a good impression on Lin Yu, and then heard from the side that Lin Yu seemed to be a bit obsessed with female sex, except for the little girl with no hair and the elderly Mother-in-law, there is not half a maidservant of the same age, and she was even more satisfied in her heart, so she bluntly said to her mother that she was willing to accept this marriage, and then went around and around, and now this rumor has just reached Princess Zhongsu That's all, because Zhao Hui revealed that Lin Yu intends to wait for the imperial examination before discussing marriage, so after discussing with Princess Zhongsu and Prince Zhongsu, she also felt that after observing for a while, Prince Zhongsu's idea, if Lin Yu could If Zhongju was selected, he would not hesitate to say a few words to the officials for Lin Yu and ask them to find him a good job. In this way, the third daughter would not feel too wronged when she married him. There is Lin Ruhai, the father who was once a famous person in front of the emperor. Even though that person is no longer there, some influence still remains.

After both of them suddenly quieted down, no one took the initiative to speak again. It wasn't until Ziyun came over to ask if he wanted to have lunch, that Lin Daiyu said to Zhao Hua with some embarrassment: "Sister Hua, I don't know what's going on at home right now. If there are any other good ingredients, I just told them to pick the best ones and make them, Sister Hua, don't dislike the roughness of our dishes later!"

"How could it be?! I will never dislike it, sister Lin, don't worry." Zhao Hua quickly shook his hand and replied.

Of course, the dishes of Lin's family are not as exquisite as those of Wang's mansion, and even less than half of that of Jia's mansion, but they are light and elegant. The ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup alone made Zhao Hua drink two big bowls alone. A feeling of incompleteness.

When the evening approached, Zhao Hua originally planned to leave and go back to the mansion, but for some reason, a feeling of reluctance suddenly appeared in his heart, so he simply sent someone back to the palace to inform Wang Hao and Luo side concubine, and then brought some personal clothes Items, and then simply lived in the Lin family for two or three days.

Lin Daiyu didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Hua's actions, because in her previous life, she also had the experience of sharing a room with her female friends to save money, and Zhao Hua didn't compete with her. The room, people just live in the yard next door.

Although it was a national funeral, the general examination for this year was not postponed, so shortly after the brigade came back from Xianling, the results of the general examination and palace examination were announced successively. Although Jiang Ke's results this time were much better than those of the rural examination, It's a pity that I still didn't grab the top three. I only got No.2 in the second class. It is understood that this ranking has a good chance of being selected into the Imperial Academy, and then I will fight for another three years...

However, Madam Hu, who was left behind by Lin Daiyu's kind words, didn't think much about it. Probably everyone in Jiang's family had already understood that if Jiang Ke embarked on the road of official career, he would lose a lot of freedom in his future life, no matter whether he was in the capital or in the capital. Working in other places is doomed to be unable to get together with her parents and relatives for several years, so she just left the capital very chicly with the gifts that Lin Daiyu had prepared for everyone in the Jiang family and the news that Jiang Ke had already entered high school.

In May, Qingshan Academy was on holiday, and Lin Yu immediately rushed back to the capital, just because he was so homesick... Of course, he also missed Sister Lin. The most important thing is that the food in the academy is really not as good as that at home, although it is not worth a tael each. Pigeon eggs, but there are natural and non-toxic eggs. He really misses the custard made by Madam Qiu~~~.

Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Yu who returned home in a hurry, and asked inadvertently, "Why is my brother so thin?! Don't always focus on studying, but forget to take good care of your body."

"Where do I have it?! It's just that no matter how good the conditions in the academy are, the food is always not the taste of home. I'm not used to it for a while." Lin Yu explained with an aggrieved face.

"The food in the academy is not good? But how do I hear that the kitchen there can serve out a few cups of bird's nest at irregular times? Has my brother ever eaten it? Or is their food divided into different classes?" Lin Daiyu couldn't help Answer a question.

"Hey! That kind of thing is not the same everywhere? If you have money, you can get anything in the kitchen, but I don't want to spend money on it." Lin Yu waved his hand and said.

Lin Daiyu just felt helpless and amused, and then said: "Come on! Come on! Fortunately, I counted that you are about to have a long vacation, so I asked Lin Butler to prepare more fresh fruits and vegetables yesterday, and wait until Mammy Qiu will do it for you Cook a table of good dishes to satisfy your hunger."

Lin Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he nodded quickly and said, "Then I'll go back to the yard to take a shower and freshen up, and I'll have a delicious meal when I come out."

Lin Daiyu nodded with a smile, and watched Lin Yu go back to the yard in three steps. ?
