Chapter 31 Red House
"Mother Zhang, go and see my sister and the others." The reason why Lin Huaiyu left and let Xiaolin Daiyu entertain Jia Tanchun and the others alone was to exercise her sister's social skills.
Xiao Lin Daiyu is very lively in front of relatives, but she is very introverted and doesn't talk much in front of unfamiliar people.Lin Huaiyu thinks that her sister can't do this. After all, if she wants to marry in the future and become the matriarch of the family, she must have certain social skills and means.
"Young Master, this old servant just went to see it, Miss and Miss San had a great chat." Nanny Zhang sighed, "Miss still needs to hang out with girls of the same age."
"In the future, we can invite Jia Tanchun and the others to play more, and let Daiyu chat with them more."
"Yes, sir."
"Let Jia Tanchun and the others stay for lunch." After Lin Huaiyu finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Find something your daughter likes and give it to Jia Tanchun and the others later."
Nanny Zhang smiled and said, "Young Master is still careful."
"By the way, has our own mansion been tidied up?" Lin Ruhai had worked as an official in the capital for several years and bought a mansion in the capital.I heard it is not big, but it is very delicate.After Lin Ruhai went to Yangzhou to be a patrolling censor, this mansion has been empty.Over the years, Ye Wenfu has been sending people to clean and repair the mansion.
"Returning to the young master, the cleaning is almost done, but there are a lot of things missing, so I have to buy some things to make up for the arrangement." After arriving in the capital, Madam Zhang and the others went to clean up the mansion secretly.After tidying up for a while, it was finally cleaned up. "However, young master, we won't be staying in the capital for long, and there are some things that we don't need to buy for the time being."
"Then buy some daily necessities, and don't buy other things." Lin Huaiyu said, "When my sister and I move to live in Uncle Ye's mansion, you will move to the Lin family's mansion." Their mansion in the capital and so on No one lived in it for [-], and the damage was severe.The house must be lived in so that it will not break down.They are going to stay in the capital for a period of time, and they just live in it to increase the popularity of the house.
The reason why this mansion was not sold was because Lin Ruhai would be transferred back to the capital sooner or later.Also, Lin Huaiyu will also come to the capital to participate in the general examination and palace examination in the future.Maybe he will stay in the capital as an official after passing the exam in the future.
At this time, in Xiaolin Daiyu's room, a group of girls chatted very happily.
"Sister Lin, you are pretty, and the maid beside you is also pretty." Jia Tanchun said Xiangling.If he didn't know that Xiangling was Xiaolin Daiyu's personal maid, he would have thought she was a lady of some family.
Xiangling herself is very good-looking, and she was originally born into a wealthy family, and she has been learning to read and write with Xiaolin Daiyu for the past two years, which makes her not at all like a servant girl, but like a Miss from a rich family.This is not an exaggeration, Xiangling stood with Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun, more like a lady than the two of them.
When Xiaolin Daiyu heard Jia Tanchun's words, she smiled happily: "The maid next to the third sister is also good-looking."
"Compared with Sister Lin's Xiangling, it's still worse." Not only is the Xiangling next to Sister Lin good-looking, but everyone else is also good-looking, especially Pei Lan and Guizhi.
Xiangling blushed slightly when she heard Jia Tanchun praise her so much, and thanked her with some embarrassment: "Thank you, Miss San, for your compliment."
Xiangling's appearance is the best among the maidservants in the Rongguo Mansion, and her demeanor is also the best.At first, the servants of the Rongguo Mansion thought that Xiangling was the concubine of the Lin family, but they never thought that she was a maid.
"Sister Lin, what kind of books do you like to read on weekdays? Do you like to read poems and songs?"
"I read books with my brother on weekdays." Xiaolin Daiyu said, "I like poetry and songs, and I like the poems of great poets such as Li Bai, Wang Wei, and Du Mu the most."
"I didn't expect such a coincidence. I also like to read poems by great poets such as Li Bai, Wang Wei, and Du Mu."
Next, the two chatted about poetry.
Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun sat aside, quietly listening to Xiaolin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun chatting about poetry and songs.
Xiaolin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun chatted very enthusiastically about poetry and songs, and the relationship between the two suddenly became much closer.
Peilan and Guizhi came in with tea and snacks, and said to Jia Tanchun and the others: "Miss San, it's raining outside, it's not convenient for you to go back, why don't you stay and have lunch together."
"Will this bother Cousin Lin and Sister Lin?"
Xiao Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "It won't disturb us."
"Miss San, our young master invited you to stay for lunch."
Hearing Guizhi's words, Jia Tanchun's face suddenly turned pink, "If that's the case, then we won't disturb you."
"Third Miss, you are too polite."
"Gui Zhi, where's your brother?"
"The young master is drawing in the study." After Guizhi finished speaking, he thought of something and added, "Second Master Bao left not long ago."
"Baoyu is gone?" Jia Tanchun was surprised. Why didn't he tell them that Baoyu was gone?
"Our young master persuaded Second Master Bao to study hard and get fame. He never wanted to anger Second Master Bao. Not long ago, Second Master Bao left angrily."
Xiaolin Daiyu looked a little unhappy, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "My brother is also doing it for his own good, why is he still angry with my brother?"
When Jia Tanchun heard this, his face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Jia Xichun suddenly said: "Baoyu often said that people who study and get fame are lu beetles. Cousin Lin persuading him to study and get fame is tantamount to calling him a lu beetle."
"Xichun!" Jia Tanchun called out in a low voice, signaling Jia Xichun not to talk too much.Later, she smiled apologetically at Xiaolin Daiyu, "Baoyu doesn't like studying, and she doesn't like being persuaded to get a job."
"That's because my brother is meddling in his own business." Xiaolin Daiyu's tone was a bit eccentric.
When Jia Tanchun heard what Lin Daiyu said, he hurriedly said, "No, cousin Lin didn't meddle in other people's business, it's just that Baoyu..."
Jia Yingchun said what Jia Tanchun didn't say: "It's not that cousin Lin is meddling, it's that Baoyu doesn't know what to do."
Jia Tanchun: "..." Yingchun, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb.How can you say that about Baoyu.
After hearing Jia Yingchun's words, Gui Zhi almost couldn't help laughing.She could see that Jia Tanchun was very embarrassed, so she didn't talk about this topic again, and changed the subject and said: "Miss, the young master said that it is not convenient for him to have lunch with you girls, so he will not have lunch with you later. You Where do you want to have lunch later, the dining room is still here?"
"Just here."
"The servant will come back later, and the servant will leave first." Guizhi and Peilan retreated, and before leaving, they told Xiangling to take good care of the young lady and the others.
Seeing that Lin Huaiyu didn't have lunch with them, Jia Tanchun was inexplicably disappointed, but at the same time felt that Lin Huaiyu was a person who followed the rules.
Besides, Jia Baoyu left Jinhuatang angrily, and when he returned to Jiamu, he complained to her old man.
Jia's mother coaxed Jia Baoyu for a long time, and said that Jia Baoyu would not study if he didn't like reading, and no one could force him to study.
If Mrs. Wang was present and heard Jia's mother say that, she would be very angry.After she heard about this, she praised Lin Huaiyu as a good person.
"You go to Feng girl, take a good set of pens or inkstones to Jinhuatang, and apologize to Lin Huaiyu." Mrs. Wang turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, "Lin Huaiyu also persuaded Baoyu to study hard for Baoyu's good, so that he can get a good grade in the exam. Fame. But Baoyu left angrily because of this, which is too unruly."
"Madam, what are you...?" Zhou Rui's family thought Mrs. Wang didn't like Lin Huaiyu and his siblings, but she didn't expect Mrs. Wang to give Lin Huaiyu something to apologize, which surprised her very much.
Mrs. Wang knew what Zhou Rui's family was surprised about, but she didn't explain, but said: "Lin Huaiyu is a good person. If Baoyu gets closer to him and becomes as fond of reading as he is, I will feel relieved."
"Madam, I thought you didn't like Young Master Lin and the others." Zhou Rui's family is Mrs. Wang's confidant, so he dared to say some things to Mrs. Wang.
"He persuaded Baoyu to study hard and obtain fame, which is good in my eyes." Mrs. Wang was very jealous of Jia Min, and she even disliked Jia Min's son and daughter.In addition, before Jia Lian came back from Yangzhou and praised Lin Huaiyu to the sky, saying that Jia Baoyu was not as good as Lin Huaiyu, this made Mrs. Wang dislike Lin Huaiyu before she saw him.However, after Lin Huaiyu came to Rongguo Mansion, she talked about and obeyed the rules everywhere, which changed her a lot.Now, Lin Huaiyu is persuading Jia Baoyu to study hard and gain fame, which makes her feel that Lin Huaiyu is a good boy.
For Mrs. Wang, anyone who persuades her son to learn well is good.Those who prevent or prevent her son from learning well are bad, including Jia Mu.
Mrs. Wang was very dissatisfied with Jia's mother doting on Jia Baoyu, but no matter how dissatisfied she dared not say anything, after all, she was a daughter-in-law and could not blame her mother-in-law.
"I'm going to find the second grandma right now..." Zhou Rui's family was just about to go to find Wang Xifeng, but he didn't want to say that Cao Cao had arrived, "Second grandma, I'm going to find you right now."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Madam, let me take a set of pens or inkstones from you and send them to Master Lin."
"My wife is going to give something to cousin Lin, what's the point of singing?"
Zhou Rui's family told Wang Xifeng what Mrs. Wang said just now, "Madam thinks it's not good for Second Master Bao to leave in a huff, so it's a shame for me to send something to Young Master Lin."
"Ping'er, go find her." Wang Xifeng said, "I have something to do with my wife, so follow Ping'er to get it."
After sending away Zhou Rui's family, Wang Xifeng came to Mrs. Wang's room and handed Mrs. Wang a letter.
"This is a letter from my aunt." The aunt she was talking about was Aunt Xue, "Look." Wang Xifeng couldn't read very well, so she didn't know what was written in the letter.
When Mrs. Wang heard that it was a letter from her sister, she hurriedly opened it and read it.After a while, her face changed drastically.
Wang Xifeng saw that her face became serious, and hurriedly asked: "Is something wrong with the eldest aunt?"
"It's not your eldest aunt, but your cousin."
"Xue Pan?" Wang Xifeng asked suspiciously, "What happened to him?"
"He beat someone to death." Mrs. Wang told Wang Xifeng about the contents of the letter, "Fortunately, that Jia Yucun took care of this matter, otherwise...it was really a crime."
Wang Xifeng thought that something happened, but someone was killed.
"Since Jia Yucun helped solve the matter, don't worry, madam."
"Your eldest aunt brought Baochai to Beijing for the draft, and she wants to live in our house for a while, so you send someone to tidy up a yard for them to live in."
"I'll send someone to clean it up right away."
"Clean up the arrangement well, and I'll talk to the old lady about it later."
At the same time, the system told Lin Huaiyu that Xue Baochai and his family were coming to Rongguo Mansion.
Lin Huaiyu is not interested in Xue Baochai and his family, and he and his sister will not have any contact with them.After a few days, Xue Baochai and his family came to Rongguo Mansion, and he and his sister went to study with Uncle Ye.Although they couldn't leave Rongguo Mansion for a while, they studied at Uncle Ye's during the day and returned to Rongguo Mansion at night, so they wouldn't have any interaction with Xue Baochai and the others.
Two days before Xue Baochai and his family arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Lin Huaiyu and Xiaolin Daiyu had gone to Ye Wenfu's place to study.
~~~~~
On this day, Aunt Xue brought her daughter and son to Rongguo Mansion.When they arrived, something happened, which caused people from Ningrong and Rongfu to talk about them.
When Aunt Xue and the others came to Rongguo Mansion, they walked through the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion, not the side entrance of Rongguo Mansion.
Although Rongguo Mansion has opened the main gate, it doesn't mean they can walk through the main gate. I never thought that they would walk through the main gate swaggeringly.
Mrs. Wang went to meet Aunt Xue and the others in person, and she didn't think there was anything wrong when she saw Aunt Xue and the others walking through the gate.However, it wasn't until they went to see Mother Jia that they realized that Aunt Xue and the others shouldn't have walked right in.
As soon as Aunt Xue and the others arrived at Rongguo Mansion, they would naturally go to see Mother Jia first.
Of course, Mother Jia welcomed Aunt Xue and the others very much.
Mrs. Xing was very upset when she saw that Jia's mother welcomed Mrs. Wang's natal family so much.She has always been dull, but today her brain seems to have suddenly opened up, and she suddenly became a lot smarter.
"Hey, isn't it forbidden to go through the main gate of our mansion?" Mrs. Xing thought to herself, "Aunt Xue, you just walked through the main gate of our mansion, right?"
When Mrs. Xing said this, the scene suddenly became very quiet.
Aunt Xue didn't realize that there was something wrong with going to the front door, but she was taken aback when she heard Mrs. Xing's question, and then said with a little hesitation: "Yes."
Mrs. Xing said with a half-smile: "Aunt Xue, don't you know that the main gate of the Duke's Mansion is not open to everyone? Don't you know that only noble people or imperial edicts can enter the gate of the Duke's Mansion?" ?"
When Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai heard Mrs. Xing's words, their faces became very embarrassed.
Mrs. Wang's expression also became stiff, and she couldn't help feeling annoyed and regretful, how could she forget this matter?
Mother Jia heard Mrs. Xing say that Aunt Xue and the others were going through the main gate, and her face suddenly became ugly.She turned her head and gave Mrs. Wang a cold look.
Mrs. Wang felt the displeasure in Jia Mu's eyes, and her whole body froze with fright.
"Only the royal family and nobles can go through the main gate of our mansion. Aunt Xue, is it inappropriate for you to go through the main gate?" Mrs. Xing's tone became eccentric, "You still think you are the royal family and nobles." Mrs. Xing I heard that Aunt Xue brought her daughter to Beijing this time to participate in the draft.
Aunt Xue, their mother and daughter were very ugly when Mrs. Xing said this.
Mrs. Xing saw Mrs. Wang's embarrassment, she was very happy, and continued: "Before, when Brother Huai and the others came to our house, Lian'er deliberately opened the main gate to let them go, but they didn't leave." Mrs. Wang , I finally caught your fault today, and I won't make it easy for you. "Brother Huai said at the time that the main gate of our mansion was only for people with high status, even if his father, Mrs. Lin, was not qualified to go through the main gate. But when younger siblings, your sister and the others came, you opened the gate to let They walked right through the gate, what do you mean, are you humiliating our Rongguo Mansion? Or you don’t know the rules that even children know. "
When Wang Xifeng and the others heard Mrs. Xing's words, they all gasped in shock.I can't believe how Mrs. Xing, who is usually dull and dull, suddenly became so sharp. These words are so eloquent.
Looking at her mother-in-law Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng was as shocked as a stormy sea.She couldn't believe that the person who said these words was Mrs. Xing.
Mrs. Wang hated Mrs. Xing very much, but at this moment she had to kneel down and plead guilty to Mrs. Jia.
"Old lady, my daughter-in-law is guilty."
Aunt Xue's mother and daughter blushed with embarrassment, and they followed Mrs. Wang to plead guilty to Jia's mother.
"Old lady, we are wrong, we..." Aunt Xue blushed, not knowing what to say.It cannot be said that they have no rules.
Mrs. Xing didn't intend to let Mrs. Wang and the others go, and continued to taunt: "I heard that Aunt Xue brought Miss Xue to the capital this time to participate in an audition. Choose."
These words pierced my heart, and Xue Baochai's face turned pale.
"If this matter gets out, I don't know if they are making fun of our Rongguo Mansion's lack of rules, or your Xue family's lack of rules." Mrs. Xing's words were like knives piercing the faces and hearts of Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, and Xue Baochai. . "Sigh, our majestic Rongguo Mansion has been reduced to the point where anyone can walk through our main gate."
The atmosphere at the scene became extremely silent and awkward. Jia Tanchun wanted to help Mrs. Wang, but he didn't know what to say, because this matter was the fault of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, who had no rules first.
Mother Jia didn't interrupt Madam Xing.Usually, Mrs. Xing would interrupt Mrs. Jia's displeasure if she didn't say a few words, but now she not only didn't interrupt, but also let Mrs. Xing continue.what does that mean?This meant that she was dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang for opening the front door to let Aunt Xue and the others go.
Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, and Xue Baochai were pale and kneeled on the ground without blood.Mrs. Xing's words just now made Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai want to faint.
Mother Jia didn't wake them up immediately, and let them kneel on the ground, which showed that she was unhappy.
Wang Xifeng, who is usually eloquent, is like a parrot whose tongue has been cut off, unable to speak a word.She wanted to help her two aunts, but how could she help.It cannot be said that the two aunts have forgotten this rule.
The corner of Madam Xing's mouth couldn't help but rise, "It's because the Lin family understands the rules and knows that we can't walk through the main gate of our house."
What she said was to say that Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue had no rules, and they were not as good as Lin Huaiyu, a child who knew the rules.
"Whoever doesn't know is not guilty, Aunt Xue, get up quickly." Although Jia's mother was dissatisfied, it was impossible for Aunt Xue and the others to kneel on the ground, after all, they were guests.
This sentence "Those who don't know are not guilty" made Aunt Xue and the others feel embarrassed, "Old lady, we..."
Mother Jia interrupted Aunt Xue's words and said with a smile: "Okay, you have come all the way to the capital, it must be very hard." After she finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Wang who was kneeling on the ground, "Take your sister to rest. "
"Yes." Mrs. Wang stood up and took Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai away from Jiamu's house.
Mrs. Xing was not upset when she saw that Mrs. Wang and the others were being let go of Jia Mu, she was about to say something, but Wang Xifeng stopped her with a sharp look.
After Mrs. Wang and the others left, Mother Jia sighed softly and said meaningfully: "The Lin family still knows the rules."
The news that Aunt Xue and the others entered the main gate was widely circulated in Ningrong and Rongfu.What Mrs. Xing said about them also spread throughout the two prefectures.
The servants of the two houses marveled at how Mrs. Xing had suddenly become so powerful, and how her mouth had suddenly become so eloquent.
Aunt Xue and her family left a bad impression on the people of Ningrong and Rongfu because of the matter of walking the front door, especially compared with Lin Huaiyu and the others.
Lin Huaiyu and the others came back from school in the evening, and he was not surprised to hear about this, because in the original book, Aunt Xue and the others walked through the main gate when they first came to Rongguo Mansion.Xiaolin Daiyu found it incredible.
"This Xue family is just an imperial businessman. How dare they blatantly walk through the main gate of the Duke's Mansion. It's really bold." Nanny Zhang curled her lips and said disdainfully, "A family like this still wants to participate in the draft."
Pei Lan said: "I saw that Miss Xue looks good and looks dignified and elegant, but I didn't expect that she is a person who doesn't know the rules."
"Didn't he come to the capital to participate in the draft? Maybe he thought he could be selected because he was pretty, so he walked through the main gate of Rongguo Mansion." Guizhi's words were also said by the servants of Ningrong and Rongguo Mansions.
"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with us, so don't talk about it."
"Yes, sir."
At this time, Wang Xifeng came over.
"I guessed that Cousin Lin and you guys are back."
"Biao sister-in-law, why are you here? Did grandma have any orders?"
"The old lady asked you to go over to drink tea and chat." Wang Xifeng knew that Lin Huaiyu and the others had dinner at Ye Wenfu's mansion every day before returning. "Goodbye to Aunt Xue and the others." Speaking of Aunt Xue and the others, Wang Xifeng blushed a little.
"Aunt Xue is an elder, so we should meet in the past." Lin Huaiyu said, "However, it is getting late at this time, and it is not appropriate for me to enter the backyard alone. I will go to see Xue after I finish greeting my grandmother tomorrow morning." aunt."
"Cousin Lin, the old lady and Aunt Xue are all waiting."
Lin Huaiyu shook his head and said, "I'm not fit to go into the backyard now, let Daiyu go with you to visit Aunt Xue." After speaking, he said to Nanny Zhang, "Mother Zhang, you accompany Daiyu to visit Aunt Xue. "
"Yes, sir."
"Brother..." Xiaolin Daiyu didn't want to go alone, so she reached out and gently tugged on her brother's sleeve.
"Daiyu, Aunt Xue is an elder, and you and I are juniors, so we should go to see Aunt Xue." Lin Huaiyu persuaded gently, "It's just that it's not convenient for brother to go now, so you can go to see Aunt Xue instead of brother."
Xiao Lin Daiyu nodded obediently: "Okay, then I will visit Aunt Xue instead of my brother."
"Sister is so good." Lin Huaiyu looked at Wang Xifeng, "Cousin-in-law, let Daiyu go with you."
Wang Xifeng also knew that Lin Huaiyu was a very disciplined person, so she didn't persuade him to go.
"Don't worry, I will send Cousin Daiyu back intact later."
"My cousin will take care of you."
Nanny Zhang accompanied Xiaolin Daiyu and followed Wang Xifeng to Jiamu's house.
Mother Jia is showing off her grandson and granddaughter to Aunt Xue.Of course, she didn't forget to show off that Lin Huaiyu and the others studied with the head of the Imperial Academy.
When Aunt Xue heard this, she was naturally very shocked.
"Old Ancestor, I will invite Cousin Daiyu alone." Before Wang Xifeng arrived, the voice came first, "Cousin Lin said that it was getting late and it was not convenient for him to enter the backyard by himself, and he also said that he would finish inviting you in the morning." Ann, go see Aunt Xue again."
Seeing that Lin Huaiyu didn't come, Jia's mother was not angry, but smiled and said, "Brother Huai, this kid just obeys the rules."
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai cast their eyes on Xiao Lin Daiyu who came in, and their hearts were shocked.Aunt Xue always thought that her daughter was very good-looking, but she didn't expect that the old lady's granddaughter was also very good-looking.
After Xiaolin Daiyu walked in, she didn't look sideways, and bowed to Jiamu and the others in a polite manner.
Mother Jia introduced Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to her. When she saw Xue Baochai, she was shocked.However, she didn't show it on her face, and greeted Aunt Xue and the others generously.
When Aunt Xue saw Xiao Lin Daiyu, she naturally praised her fiercely.However, in her heart, Lin Daiyu is not as good as her precious daughter.
Xue Baochai returned Lin Daiyu's gift, and then praised Lin Daiyu.
Grandmother Jia was of course happy when her granddaughter was praised, but she naturally wanted to say something modest.
"Daiyu is still inferior to her brother."
Jia Baoyu, who was sitting on the side, said: "Cousin Lin is the prettiest, no one can compare to him."
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Not to mention, in terms of looks, I really haven't seen anyone who looks better than Cousin Lin." She looked at Jia Baoyu and teased, "I used to think that Baoyu was the best, but Now Baoyu can't even compare to Cousin Lin."
Jia Baoyu said very self-aware: "How can I compare with Cousin Lin."
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai couldn't help being curious when they heard what Wang Xifeng and the others said, thinking that this Young Master Lin is even more beautiful than Baoyu, so how good-looking is that?
~~~~~
In just one day, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai heard a lot about Lin Huaiyu and his sister.
Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion praised them when they mentioned the brothers and sisters, and no one said anything bad, even Mrs. Wang praised Lin Huaiyu.Aunt Xue, as Mrs. Wang's older sister, naturally knows that Mrs. Wang has always been envious and jealous of Jia Min, and she should not like Jia Min's children, but Mrs. Wang praised Jia Min's son for being good. It surprised her very much.
I haven't seen Lin Huaiyu yet, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai are full of curiosity about him.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai had breakfast early, and then went to Mother Jia's yard to greet her old man.
When they arrived, Wang Xifeng and the others were already in Jia Mu's room.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai had just greeted Jia Mu when they heard the voice of saluting Lin Huaiyu and his sister from outside.
After a while, I saw an extremely handsome young man walking in leading Xiao Lin Daiyu.
Needless to think, he knew that this outstanding young man was Lin Huaiyu, the young master of the Lin family.
When Aunt Xue saw Lin Huaiyu, she exclaimed in her heart, my dear, why is this child so beautiful.
Xue Baochai, who has always been dignified, had a look of shock on his face the moment he saw Lin Huaiyu.When she saw Jia Baoyu before, she was surprised by Jia Baoyu's appearance.It has always been heard that the aunt's family in Beijing gave birth to a son who was born with a jade title, and he looks extremely outstanding.After seeing it yesterday, it was exactly as she imagined.However, compared with the young master of the Lin family, Jia Baoyu was indeed far behind.
Yesterday, when she heard Jia Baoyu say that he was not as good as the young master of the Lin family, she thought Jia Baoyu was self-effacing, but she didn't expect it to be true.Compared with this young master of the Lin family, Jia Baoyu was inferior not only in appearance, but also in bearing.
Ling Lingyuxiu, this word best describes the young master of the Lin family.She couldn't think of any other words to describe it.
Lin Huaiyu and his younger sister greeted Jiamu and Mrs. Wang first, and then met Aunt Xue under the introduction of Jiamu.
"Auntie, it was too late yesterday, and it was inconvenient for my nephew to enter the backyard, so I didn't come to see you, please forgive me."
Aunt Xue stood up, stepped forward to help Lin Huaiyu herself, and said with a kind smile on her face, "You don't have to worry about it, child." As she spoke, she looked Lin Huaiyu up and down carefully, and then praised, "I live such a big life!" This is the first time I have seen such a good-looking child, old lady, you are so lucky, your grandson is growing up well, and your grandson is also very good-looking."
When Mother Jia heard what Aunt Xue said, her face was full of smiles: "Aunt Xue, your Baochai is also beautiful."
"Not as good as your grandson." Aunt Xue held Lin Huaiyu's hand and looked at him lovingly, "This child is really good-looking, and his eyebrows look a bit like an old lady."
Jia's mother smiled and said, "Brother Huai is like my daughter Min'er, who is hard-working, and Min'er is somewhat similar to me."
"Old lady, your grandchildren are more handsome and smart than the other. You are really lucky."
Mother Jia was very happy when Aunt Xue said this, "Aunt Xue has won the prize."
Aunt Xue motioned to Xue Baochai to take out the gift she had prepared earlier.
"This is my aunt's little wish. I hope you brothers and sisters don't dislike it." After she finished speaking, she stuffed the two brocade boxes into Lin Huaiyu's hands, and said with a straight face, "This gift from the elders is irresistible."
"Brother Huai, take what Aunt Xue gave you." Mother Jia urged, "Thank you Aunt Xue."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"The little thing is worthless, as long as you brothers and sisters don't dislike it." Aunt Xue looked at Lin Huaiyu lovingly, "The more you look at this child, the more you like it."
When Wang Xifeng heard what her eldest aunt said, she joked with a smile: "Auntie, you won't take Cousin Lin back, will you?"
"I really want to take it back. Who doesn't want such a good-looking child." Aunt Xue said, "It's a pity that I don't have this blessing. I can't give birth to such a beautiful and energetic child."
Listening to Aunt Xue's praise, Lin Huaiyu exclaimed in her heart, Aunt Xue really knows how to speak. On the surface, she praised him for his good looks, but she was actually flattering Jia Mu.
"Aunt Xue, your Pan'er looks good too." Mother Jia said so, but she didn't think Xue Pan was better than Lin Huaiyu in her heart.
When mentioning her son, Aunt Xue said with a look of disgust: "How can that naughty son compare with Brother Huai."
"I see that Pan'er is fine."
"Old lady, he naturally pretends to be obedient in front of you."
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Huaiyu couldn't delay here any longer, so she bid farewell to Jiamu and the others.
"Grandma, it's getting late. My sister and I should go. I'll greet you when I come back in the evening."
Jia Mu nodded, "Be careful on the road."
Lin Huaiyu took his sister to bid farewell to Aunt Xue, "Auntie, my sister and I are going to study, so we leave first."
"be careful on the road."
Lin Huaiyu led his younger sister out of Jia Mu's yard, handed the brocade box that Aunt Xue had given them to Zhang Nanny, and asked her to take it back to the Brocade Painting Hall.
When Lin Huaiyu and the others left, Mother Jia said to Aunt Xue slightly apologetically, "Brother Huai and his brother and sister are going to study in the academician's mansion of the Imperial Academy. They leave early and return late every day. Auntie forgives me."
"What's the matter with the old lady, Brother Huai and the others are serious about studying." Mother Jia said yesterday that Lin Huaiyu and his brother were studying with the head of the Imperial Academy.After hearing this yesterday, she was shocked.Unexpectedly, the Lin family still had the ability to make their son and daughter study with the officials of the second rank in the court.
Next, Mother Jia showed off Lin Huaiyu's intelligence to Aunt Xue.After hearing this, Aunt Xue echoed Jia Mu's words and praised Lin Huaiyu non-stop.
After showing off, Mother Jia took Aunt Xue to play cards, accompanied by Wang Xifeng.
Lin Huaiyu and his sister didn't take Aunt Xue's arrival to heart.After coming to Ye Mansion, the brother and sister devoted themselves to study.
Lin Huaiyu and his brother and sister did not study with Ye Wenfu together, but separately.Lin Huaiyu studied with Ye Wenfu, while Xiaolin Daiyu studied with Mrs. Ye.
In addition to studying the contents of books with Mrs. Ye, Xiaolin Daiyu also studied female celebrities from her.With Jia Min gone, Mrs. Ye felt sorry for Xiaolin Daiyu, so she taught her daughter what she should learn.
Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, had dinner with Jia Mu at noon.After lunch, Mother Jia wanted to take a lunch break, so they left.They didn't rush back to their yard, but went to Mrs. Wang's house.
Aunt Xue asked: "Sister, Lin Huaiyu and the others are going to study at the academician's residence of the Imperial Academy, why don't you let them take Baoyu with them?"
Hearing her sister's question, Mrs. Wang sighed softly, "Do you think I don't want to? I discussed with the master before, let Lin Huaiyu take Baoyu to study at the Academy of the Imperial Academy together, but Baoyu's child is Lin Huaiyu said in front of him that it was Lu Xie who said that he was the one who took the exam for academic achievement, so how could he let him go to study with him?"
Aunt Xue was surprised when she heard this, "How could Baoyu say such a thing?"
"He doesn't like reading, and he is spoiled by the old lady, so he becomes more self-willed." When mentioning Jia Baoyu's son, Mrs. Wang hated and loved him at the same time.Hate him for being ignorant and useless, and love him as her only son. "He doesn't study, and the old lady spoils him and doesn't let him study."
"Baoyu is so smart, if he studies hard, he will definitely be no worse than Lin Huaiyu."
Mrs. Wang loves Aunt Xue's words.
"That's right, but he is spoiled by the old lady and doesn't like to study. I will have nothing to do with him for a while. Maybe in two years, when Baoyu grows up, he will know that he must study hard."
"It's normal for Lin Huaiyu to study, so why does Lin Daiyu follow suit?" In Aunt Xue's view, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and it's good for her daughter to be literate, and there's no need to study like a man.
"It is said that Lin Daiyu has been studying with her brother since she was a child." Mrs. Wang did not like Lin Daiyu very much, and said in a flat tone.
"What does my daughter's family read so many books?"
Mrs. Wang looked at Xue Baochai, and smiled gently: "Lin Daiyu is quite different from Baochai." For Xue Baochai, a niece, Mrs. Wang likes her very much.Unfortunately, this niece is going to participate in the draft. "Baochai will enter the palace to participate in the draft in a few days. I have already asked someone to tell Yuanchun that Baochai will also be taken care of when he goes to the palace."
Xue Baochai stood up and saluted Mrs. Wang in gratitude: "Auntie Xie is worried about my affairs."
"Sister, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Sister, why are you being polite to me?" After she finished speaking, she looked at Xue Baochai, "Baochai's appearance and character will definitely be selected, and then Yuanchun and Yuanchun will also have a care in the palace." .”
"It depends on whether Baochai can be as blessed as Yuanchun."
Not long after Xue Baochai and the others arrived at Rongguo Mansion, they entered the palace to participate in the draft.This draft is not about choosing concubines, but about choosing accompanying princesses and princesses.
Don't underestimate the princess and princess's school attendant.If one can become the attendant of the princess or princess, then one can deal with the royal family and nobles every day, and even go deep into the center of imperial power.If the escort is good, no
