Chapter 42 Red House
Lin Huaiyu thought who Jia Baoyu was going to bring him to meet, but unexpectedly it was Feng Ziying.In the original book, not much is written about Feng Ziying.
"Brother Ziying, this is my cousin Lin Huaiyu." Jia Baoyu introduced Lin Huaiyu to Feng Ziying with an expression as if offering a treasure.
When Feng Ziying saw Lin Huaiyu, she was stunned for a moment, and then politely saluted Lin Huaiyu: "Mr. Lin."
Lin Huaiyu also politely returned a salute: "Mr. Feng."
Jia Baoyu showed off to Feng Ziying proudly: "Brother Ziying, my cousin is good-looking."
Feng Ziying nodded and said, "Mr. Lin is a good-looking talent." Unexpectedly, there are people in this world who are more beautiful than Baoyu.This Mr. Lin is extremely handsome, but there is no trace of femininity in his brows, but full of heroism.
Lin Huaiyu responded courteously: "Mr. Feng is handsome and handsome."
Mingyan came over at this moment, first saluted Lin Huaiyu and the others, and then said to Jia Baoyu, "Second Master, the old lady called you over."
Feng Ziying said very considerately: "Baoyu, you are going to find the old lady, we will see you later." After speaking, she said to Lin Huaiyu, "Mr. Lin, see you later."
"Young Master Feng, see you later."
"Cousin, let's go find our ancestors."
"You go, I'll go find cousin Lian."
"Cousin, why do you like playing with Lian's second brother so much?" In Jia Baoyu's heart, Jia Lian was just like those stinky men.
Mingyan thought for a while and said, "Perhaps Second Master Lian met Young Master Lin in Yangzhou before, so Young Master Lin will get closer to Second Master Lian." After speaking, he remembered that the old lady was still waiting for Jia Baoyu, so he couldn't help urging , "Second Master, the old lady is still waiting for you, you should go there quickly, otherwise the old lady is in a hurry."
Jia Baoyu didn't say anything, and hurried to find Jia Mu.
Lin Huaiyu found Jia Lian, and followed him to the front yard of the Prince's Mansion in Nan'an County.
"What did Baoyu drag you to do just now?"
"Pull me to meet a man named Feng Ziying."
"Oh, it turned out to be him, the son of General Shenwu, who has a good relationship with Baoyu." Jia Lian introduced, "A few years older than Baoyu, he is considered good among the younger generation in the capital."
"So it is."
"You can be regarded as a young talent." Jia Lian said again, "There should be a lot of young talents from the capital today, and I will introduce you later."
"Cousin Lian, do you know everyone?"
"Acquaintance is acquaintance, but many of them have no relationship." Jia Lian said to Lin Huaiyu in a low voice, "People like me who are ignorant and inexperienced can't get along with those young talents. Besides, those young talents don't look down on them either. Fuck me." Jia Lian was still very clear about himself.
Lin Huaiyu jokingly said, "I didn't expect you, cousin, to be quite self-aware."
Jia Lian knew that Lin Huaiyu was joking, so he didn't get angry with him. Instead, he agreed with him: "I don't have any good points. If I have to say one good point, I'm pretty self-aware. If I don't accompany you today Come, I won't come." For Jia Lian, attending these banquets is better than sleeping at home.
What Jia Lian said surprised Lin Huaiyu: "Cousin, don't you like this kind of occasion?"
"I don't like it, it's boring." On an occasion like today, a group of people gathered together to flatter and flatter each other.
"This time I wronged my cousin to accompany me."
"You and I don't have to be so polite." After Jia Lian finished speaking, his expression suddenly became serious, "Brother Huai, if you get a good name in the future, you might be left in the capital as an official. Then such a banquet, You should participate more, and you can get to know more young talents, which will help you in your future career."
Lin Huaiyu was very surprised, she didn't expect to hear such meaningful words from Jia Lian.
Seeing Lin Huaiyu's astonished expression, Jia Lian asked dumbfoundedly, "What's your expression, an unbelievable expression?"
"I didn't expect you, cousin, to say such a thing."
Jia Lian understood what Lin Huaiyu meant, and said helplessly, "Why, do you think I can't say those words?"
"It's a little unexpected, unlike what you said, cousin." Although Jia Lian was a bit ignorant and lecherous, he was not a bad person.Since dealing with him, he has been very kind to his cousin, and he is also very righteous.
"Although I'm ignorant, it's not that I don't know everything." Jia Lian knew that with Lin Huaiyu's intelligence, he would definitely be able to take the exam and become an official like Lin Ruhai. "The identities of the people who came to the Nan'an Princess's flower viewing banquet are not simple. You should get to know and make friends, just like Feng Ziying just now. You can become friends with him. Like you in the officialdom in the future, you can get to know more people. One more way."
Jia Lian's two words shocked Lin Huaiyu very much, and he couldn't help changing his view of Jia Lian.
"I really didn't expect my cousin, who is ignorant and inexperienced, to say such important words. It really amazes me." Lin Huaiyu also deliberately clasped his fists and saluted Jia Lian, "Cousin, it seems that I misunderstood you It's big too."
Jia Lian was dumbfounded by Lin Huaiyu's action, "Did you realize that you underestimated me?"
Lin Huaiyu nodded again and again: "I really underestimated my cousin before." It seems that Jia Lian is not completely useless. "However, cousin, there is no need to trouble you to introduce someone to me today."
When Jia Lian heard this, he raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "Why?"
"Because I don't want to know each other, and it's useless to know each other now." Lin Huaiyu said half-truthfully, "After a while, my sister and I will return to Yangzhou. If there is no accident, and if we are lucky, we will come to Yangzhou next time." The capital city, I should be the one who came to Beijing to take part in the examination."
"Are you going back to Yangzhou?"
"I won't go back now, but I will go back sooner or later. It is impossible for my sister and I to stay in the capital forever." Lin Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "No accident, my sister and I will return to Yangzhou before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After hearing Lin Huaiyu's words, Jia Lian thought it was right.
"That's right, let's play casually together today."
Lin Huaiyu suddenly shrugged and said, "Cousin, actually I don't like this kind of occasion either, so I might as well read at home."
Jia Lian laughed and said, "Let's bear with it for now, and we can go back after lunch."
When Lin Huaiyu and Jia Lian arrived at the garden in the front yard of the Prince's Mansion, they found that many people came, and all of them were well-dressed. As Jia Lian said, the people who came to Nan'an to live in the Prince's Mansion this time were not simple.
Jia Lian noticed that as soon as they walked in, many people looked in their direction overtly and secretly.To be precise, he looked at Brother Huai beside him.
Lin Huaiyu naturally also found that many people were looking at him. These people's eyes were probing, sizing up, amazed, shocked, and disdainful.He has long been used to these gazes.
Jia Lian couldn't feel comfortable being watched, and quickly pulled Lin Huaiyu's sleeve, "Brother Huai, let's find a place to sit down."
"it is good."
When Jia Lian found out that they were gone, the eyes of those people followed them.Seeing that Lin Huaiyu looked calm and not at all uncomfortable, he couldn't help admiring Lin Huaiyu in his heart.
Lin Huaiyu and the others couldn't find a seat to sit down, so they had to find a relatively remote place to stand.
Taking advantage of the special geographical location, Jia Lian pointed to people not far away, and introduced to Lin Huaiyu one by one who this was and who that was.Although Lin Huaiyu said just now that he didn't need to introduce anyone to him, at least let Lin Huaiyu know the identities of the people who came today.
Lin Huaiyu found an interesting phenomenon, the people who came to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion were from Prince Li's group, including four princes.Emperor Qinglong's people didn't come. After all, these people were all ministers and were very busy, so they didn't have time to attend a flower viewing banquet in a county palace.
"Isn't the Prince of Nan'an from Prince Li's faction?" Lin Huaiyu asked the system in his heart.
[No, he is a neutral faction. 】
"Neutral?" Lin Huaiyu was startled. "Nan'an County Prince's Mansion has good relations with Ning Rong. I thought he belonged to Prince Li. I didn't expect him to be a neutral faction. No wonder he invited people from all factions."
[The king of Nan'an County is a social butterfly and maintains good relations with all forces. 】The system emphasized, 【Host, Ningguo Mansion is indeed a member of Prince Li's faction, but Rongguo Mansion is not. 】
"Isn't Rongguo Mansion?" Lin Huaiyu didn't believe it.
[The relationship between Rongguo Mansion and Prince Li's faction is rather ambiguous, but they did not completely side with Prince Li like Ningguo Mansion. 】
Lin Huaiyu understood the meaning of the system's words, "However, Mother Jia and the others did not stop Jia Baoyu from dating Feng Ziying." Feng Ziying's family belonged to Prince Li's faction.
【Lin Ruhai belongs to Emperor Qinglong. Didn't Mother Jia ask Jia Min to marry him? 】The system said,【Mother Jia did this to leave an extra path for the Rongguo Mansion. 】
"When my father married my mother, he probably didn't know the relationship between the Jia family and Prince Li." If Lin Ruhai knew that the relationship between the Jia family and Prince Li was not simple, he would definitely not have married Jia Min. "However, what Mother Jia and the others did is not to leave more escape routes for Rongguo Mansion, but to create more dead ends for Rongguo Mansion." Such ambiguous standing in line will only lead to death faster.
【So, Ningrong and Rongfu will be ransacked. 】
Lin Huaiyu didn't chat with the system anymore because someone came over.
"Young Master Jia." The person who came was a young man who was about the same age as Jia Lian, "Is this Mr. Lin's son?"
Lin Huaiyu was a little surprised in her heart, how long has he spread throughout the capital?
"I'm right, I don't know who you are?"
Jia Lian hurriedly introduced to Lin Huaiyu: "Brother Huai, this is Mr. Wu, the nephew of Concubine Wu." After speaking, he introduced to Mr. Wu, "Mr. Wu, this is my cousin, Lin Huaiyu."
"Mr. Wu." Concubine Wu's nephew, that is, the third prince's cousin or cousin.Speaking of which, I did not see Concubine Wu at the Empress's flower viewing banquet a few days ago.
"Mr. Lin is indeed as beautiful as the rumors say."
"Young Master Wu has won the prize."
Mr. Wu's attitude was very polite, "Mr. Jia, Mr. Lin, why don't you sit in the gazebo over there."
Jia Lian knew that Mr. Wu was coming for Lin Huaiyu, so he looked directly at Lin Huaiyu.
Lin Huaiyu looked at the gazebo not far away, there were many people sitting there, it seemed that there was no room for them to sit.
"Mr. Wu, there are a lot of people in the gazebo."
"Everyone wants to know Mr. Lin." Mr. Wu smiled gently, "Mr. Lin, don't be shy, everyone just wants to know you."
"In this case, please ask Mr. Wu to lead the way."
"Mr. Lin, this way please."
"Mr. Wu please first."
Jia Lian lightly touched Lin Huaiyu's arm, and gave him a wink.
Lin Huaiyu gave him a comforting look, indicating that he could handle it.
Next, under the introduction of Mr. Wu, Lin Huaiyu met many people, and these people all supported the third prince.
I just met Mr. Wu and the others, and after a while, Concubine Shu's nephew came to say hello.Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the second prince.Then Concubine Liang's nephew also came. Concubine Liang is the biological mother of the Fourth Prince.
Now it's all right, except for the empress's nephew who didn't come, the nephews of the other three empresses have come.
Speaking of which, the Fu family did not come to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion to participate in the flower viewing banquet.Although no one from the Fu family came, someone from the Prince's party did.
It's not that Lin Huaiyu just met the nephews of the three empresses, and the prince's party came to him.
Lin Huaiyu dealt with these people very calmly and decently, and no one could find a single mistake.This made Jia Lian, who had been hiding aside for a long time, admire him very much.
Just like what Wang Xifeng said to Jia Mu before, Lin Huaiyu became a favorite after participating in the queen's flower appreciation banquet.
After the people from the prince's party came to greet Lin Huaiyu, the people from Prince Li's party also came to say hello.In fact, it was Feng Ziying who invited Lin Huaiyu to play throwing pots with them.
Lin Huaiyu marveled in his heart at the "charm" of his father Lin Ruhai.On the surface, these people were all coming for him, but in fact they were all coming for his father Lin Ruhai.
From this point, it can be seen how important his father, Lin Ruhai, is the patrolling censor.
Some people from Prince Li's faction showed kindness to Lin Huaiyu, such as Feng Ziying.Of course, there were also people who made things difficult for Lin Huaiyu.These people are full of malice.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that on the day the Empress held a flower viewing feast, you were gifted by the Empress for your outstanding literary talent." The one who spoke was a mediocre-looking man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a strange tone, "I think Ask Mr. Lin for advice, do you know if Mr. Lin dares or not?"
[Host, this person is not kind. 】
"I see." Lin Huaiyu saw disdain and ill intentions in the other party's eyes, "I don't know what Mr. Zhang wants to ask for advice, couplets, poems and songs?"
"Because of Mr. Lin's age, why don't I ask the couplet first." Mr. Zhang said this in a tone full of arrogance.
"Mr. Zhang is old, so please ask Mr. Zhang to come up with the question first."
Mr. Zhang is also not polite, "Since you say so, then I will not be polite." He shook the folding fan in his hand, "I will make a simpler one first, Mr. Lin should be able to match it."
Jia Lian, who was standing aside, heard the humiliating words and stepped forward angrily to say something, but was stopped by Lin Huaiyu's hand.
"Mr. Zhang, please write a question."
"Today we come to enjoy the flowers, so I will make a couplet related to flowers." Mr. Zhang shook his folding fan, lowered his head on purpose and said to Lin Huaiyu, "It's a very simple couplet, Mr. Lin, don't be nervous, all the flowers are blooming beautifully.
It was indeed very simple, and the onlookers said it was too simple.
"Thousands of horses rise in clouds and smoke."
"Mr. Lin is right." Just as he was about to speak for the second couplet, he heard Lin Huaiyu say, "Mr. Zhang, the couplet I made will be a bit difficult. I hope you can correct it."
Lin Huaiyu's words made Mr. Zhang's face a little displeased at first, and then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Huaiyu arrogantly: "Really, then I am looking forward to it, Mr. Lin, please come up with a question."
"Wangjiang tower, Wangjiang flow, Wangjiang tower, Wangjiang tower, Jiangliu, Jiangliu, Wangjiang tower." Lin Huaiyu finished the question, and said to Mr. Zhang with a smile, "It's a bit difficult, but I believe that Mr. Zhang's talent will definitely be able to solve the problem." Right out."
After Mr. Zhang heard Lin Huaiyu's Shanglian, his expression turned ugly for a moment.However, he quickly raised his head, showing a disapproving expression.
"Of course, it's not difficult for me." He said this without confidence.
"Mr. Zhang, please be right."
Mr. Zhang pretended to be calm and said: "Hmph, I want a good one."
"Master Zhang, please think about it."
Others also frowned and thought about the next couplet, but no one responded for a while.This upper line looks simple, but it is not so easy to match.
"Mr. Zhang hasn't thought about it yet?" Lin Huaiyu thought to himself that this couplet is not so easy to get right, just because Mr. Zhang is a half-assed person. "This couplet is a bit difficult. It doesn't matter if Mr. Zhang can't get it right."
Mr. Zhang stuck his neck and said, "Who says I can't be right, I want to be right."
"Mr. Zhang, do you want to think about the time for a stick of incense, or do you have to think about it for a day?"
Seeing that Lin Huaiyu was mocking him, Mr. Zhang became anxious, "What do you mean, do you mean that I can't tell you the truth?"
"It turns out that Mr. Zhang is not right." Lin Huaiyu first showed a look of surprise, and then showed a look of contempt and disdain, "Mr. Zhang, if you are not right, just say it, don't pretend to be able to. That's embarrassing."
Mr. Zhang's face was turned green and red by Lin Huaiyu's words. He pointed at Lin Huaiyu with a folding fan, "You..."
"I thought Mr. Zhang was brilliant, but I didn't expect it to be an embroidered pillow." Lin Huaiyu said the most heart-wrenching words with an innocent expression, "Mr. Zhang, I kindly remind you that if you have no skills, don't come out and shame yourself."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang trembled with anger, and the hand holding the folding fan shook like a sieve.
"you……"
Lin Huaiyu smiled kindly at Mr. Zhang, and reminded him kindly again: "Mr. Zhang, if I were you, I would disappear quickly."
"You..." Mr. Zhang's friend saw that he was about to faint from Lin Huaiyu's anger, so he hurriedly dragged him away.
The others present were frightened by Lin Huaiyu's sharpness. They didn't expect Lin Huaiyu to speak so viciously when he was young.They thought that Lin Huaiyu would be made a fool of himself by Mr. Zhang, but they didn't expect Mr. Zhang to make a fool of himself.
"I don't know if there is any young master present who can enlighten me?"
Everyone present looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't come out right.
Feng Ziying took a step forward and said openly, "Mr. Lin, I can't figure it out, so I ask you to enlighten me."
Lin Huaiyu glanced at the so-called young talents present, thinking that if these people were really young talents from the capital, it would be really disappointing.
"Yes: Yinyuejing, Yinyue photocopying, Yinyuejing, Yinyueying, Moonwell, Wannian, Moonying, Wannian." After Lin Huaiyu finished speaking, he added, "It is also possible to: Saishitai, poetry competition, poetry competition, poetry competition on the poetry stage. Taiwan's peerless poets are peerless"
As soon as he said these two sentences, everyone at the scene said it was wonderful.
Mr. Wu laughed and said, "Mr. Lin is very talented in writing."
"Mr. Wu has won the prize, I don't have much literary talent."
Suddenly, a person said: "When there are insects in the water, it will be turbid; if there are fish in the water, there will be fishing. The water is full of water, and the rivers and lakes are small. The bottom of the tree is the root, and the top of the tree is the end. The wood is woody, and the pines and cypresses are dense. This pair of couplets is a forest. Son, what did you say?"
"Yes." Didn't these couplets have been mentioned by Jia Zheng's disciples before? How did they know?
"Mr. Lin has a good literary talent." Those who had been nice to Lin Huaiyu before all praised him for his literary talent.
Next, someone asked Lin Huaiyu for advice on the couplets. Of course, the attitude should be more polite, not as arrogant and contemptuous as Mr. Zhang was before.
Lin Huaiyu threw out another pair of couplets that were not easy to match, that is, the long couplet of "Baita Street, Huang Blacksmith, Shenghong Furnace...".Still no one came out.
After matching the couplets, everyone started to talk about the poems again.That is to say the last line of poetry, and then speak the next line of poetry.Lin Huaiyu is not afraid of poetry.During this period of time, he was reading poems and songs every day, and drew pictures with the theme of poems and songs.As long as it is not an unpopular poem or song, he can match it.
Everyone at the scene did not expect that Lin Huaiyu was young, but he was well read in poetry and books.Before, those who underestimated him couldn't help but rejoice that they didn't dare to challenge him like Young Master Zhang, otherwise they would be the ones who would be ashamed.
At this time, Xiao Daiyu and Jia Tanchun were watching a play in the backyard.
A stage was set up in the garden, and the guests could enjoy the flowers and smell their fragrance while watching the play.
Jia Baoyu followed Jia Mu and never left the backyard.
Many wives were dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu's behavior of admiring flowers and watching operas with the female family members in the backyard, but they didn't say anything because of the face of the princess of Nan'an County. After all, she didn't say anything as the host, and it was hard for them as guests. What.
Of course, besides Jia Baoyu, there are also other boys, but the oldest of these boys is only six years old, less than seven years old. Can't come to the backyard.
Jia Baoyu stayed with Jia's mother for a while, then ran to find Jia Tanchun and the others, and sat with his sisters.However, Xiao Daiyu went to Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Song long ago.She is sitting with two aunts now, not with Jia Tanchun and the others.
Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Song had noticed Jia Baoyu a long time ago. Seeing him as a big boy in the backyard, they were very puzzled, but they couldn't say anything.However, for the sake of Xiao Daiyu's reputation, they have been protecting Xiao Daiyu so that Jia Baoyu cannot get close.
Jia Baoyutian suddenly discovered that his cousin was also very good-looking, and she felt very familiar to him.He originally wanted to play with Xiao Daiyu, but he never had a chance to get close, so he had to give up temporarily.
"Nurse Zhang, go to the front yard to see Brother Huai." Mrs. Ye was a little worried about Lin Huaiyu. After all, many people who came to Nanjun Wangfu to participate in the flower viewing feast were hostile to the Lin family, and she was afraid that Lin Huaiyu would be bullied.
"Old slave, let's go." Zhang Momo was worried, and hurried to the front yard, only to see her young master surrounded by a group of people, her heart sank suddenly, thinking that her young master was being bullied, Hurry up and go over there.
When she got closer, she realized that these sons had a very gentle and friendly attitude towards her young master.The picture of the young master being bullied in her imagination did not happen, which made her feel relieved.
Lin Huaiyu noticed Nanny Zhang, apologized to Mr. Wu and the others, and came to find her.
"Mother Zhang, what's the matter, is something wrong with my sister?"
"Young Master, Miss is fine. It was Mrs. Ye who asked this old servant to come and see you."
As soon as Lin Huaiyu heard this, she knew that Mrs. Ye and the others were worried about him, so she smiled at Nanny Zhang: "Tell Aunt Ye and the others that I'm fine."
"Master, are you really alright?" Madam Zhang asked with concern, "Haven't you been bullied?"
At this moment Jia Lian came over and said, "Who can bully Brother Huai?"
Nanny Zhang hurriedly greeted Jia Lian: "I have seen the second master."
"Just like what my cousin said, no one can bully me, let Aunt Ye and the others rest assured."
"The old slave can rest assured." Zhang Nanny suddenly thought of Jia Baoyu, and said with a slightly sullen face, "Young Master, Second Master Bao has been in the backyard, and was going to look for Miss before, but was stopped by Madam Ye and the others."
"Beware of him, don't let him get close to Daiyu." Lin Huaiyu instructed, "Go back and serve Daiyu."
"Yes, young master, the old slave is leaving."
After Nanny Zhang left, Jia Lian frowned and said, "What did the ancestor think? Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is not our own mansion. How could she let Baoyu stay in the backyard with other female relatives?"
"Maybe grandma doesn't care about that."
"The old ancestor doesn't care, but don't other people mind?" Jia Lian's expression was a bit ugly, "The old ancestor is really messed up."
"Isn't grandma always like this to my cousin? It's nothing strange."
"That's right." Jia Lian sighed slightly, "I don't want to listen to my old ancestor, just let her go."
"Cousin, let's find a place to sit down."
"Aren't you going to continue discussing knowledge with Mr. Wu?"
"Whatever is discussed, the mouth is dry."
The two went to the gazebo and sat down, drinking tea and chatting.
"Brother Huai, I think what I said earlier was a bit redundant."
Lin Huaiyu, who was drinking tea, heard what Jia Lian said, and quickly stopped what he was doing, and looked at him puzzled: "What are you talking about?"
"Let you get to know more people." Jia Lian teased, "I was worried that you would be nervous before, but it seems that I was thinking too much."
Lin Huaiyu finished drinking tea, put down the teacup in his hand, and said to Jia Lian with a deep expression, "Cousin, these people are not worth making friends with."
Jia Lian was surprised when he heard this: "Isn't anyone worth making friends with?"
"Yes, you said they are young talents, and you really think highly of them." Lin Huaiyu found that none of these young talents really had ink in their stomachs just now when they talked about couplets, poems, and scriptures.
"What do you mean?"
"Embroidered pillow."
Jia Lian understood now, with an expression of disbelief: "Isn't it true that no one studies as hard as you?"
"No, they are all pretenders who like to show off their talents and learning, but in fact they don't have much knowledge and talent." It is estimated that the real noble elite disciples did not come to the Nan'an County Palace's flower viewing banquet.In other words, they disdain to participate.
Jia Lian was silent for a while, and then sighed: "I didn't expect it to be like this." After speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and his expression became weird, "Brother Huai, is it because you are too good at reading, so it seems that those people are not good at reading?" .”
"Cousin, you think too highly of me. I have only been studying for a few years. How can I be so good?" Lin Huaiyu shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm good, it's that they can't. Compared with the students in Yangzhou, it's true. It's too bad."
"You Jiangnan are outstanding people. Every time you take the imperial examinations, from champion to Tanhua, there are students from Jiangnan. It's normal that the students in the capital are not as good as you."
Lin Huaiyu thought about it, "It's true." Jiangnan is indeed a gathering place for talents.However, in the final analysis, the reason is that the learning atmosphere in Jiangnan is better than that in Beijing. "Hurry up and have lunch, we'll go back when we're done." Discussing knowledge with these people is really a waste of time, it's better to go home and study by yourself.
"Okay, we'll go back after lunch." Jia Lian yawned, "I'm sleepy if I stay here."
During lunch, Lin Huaiyu became a "sweet potato" again, and they all dragged him to drink.However, he refused on the pretext that he would get a rash or faint when he drank.Hearing what he said, Feng Ziying and the others had no choice but to give up asking him to drink.
Lin Huaiyu originally thought that he could have a quiet meal without drinking, but in the end, these people played the game of drumming and passing flowers, which made him hardly eat much.
After lunch, these people would drag Lin Huaiyu to play games played by literati students, but Lin Huaiyu refused.He found an excuse to say goodbye to the eldest son of Nan'an County King, and then left the Nan'an County King's Mansion with Jia Lian.
~~~~~
Lin Huaiyu's wonderful performance in the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion made him "famous in the first battle" and created a wave of presence in the Guizhou circle in the capital.
After that day, many people wrote invitations to invite Lin Huaiyu to various banquets, but they were all rejected by Lin Huaiyu with various excuses.Besides Lin Huaiyu, Xiao Daiyu was also invited by everyone.Many people sent posts to invite Jia Mu and the others to the banquet. Naturally, Jia Mu wanted to bring Xiao Daiyu to the banquet, but Xiao Daiyu refused on the pretext that she wanted to study.Mother Jia had no choice but to take Jia Tanchun and the others to participate, but after participating twice, she did not participate again.After that, no one invited Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu to the banquet again.
Regarding her own fame, Lin Huaiyu didn't take it seriously at all, and devoted herself to studying and studying with Ye Wenfu.
"Your father sent you a letter." Ye Wenfu handed the letter received from Lin Ruhai today to Lin Huaiyu.
Lin Huaiyu was resting, so he opened the letter and read it.
From the very beginning of Lin Ruhai's letter, he wrote that he was fine in Yangzhou, in good health, without any problems, and asked Lin Huaiyu and his brother and sister not to worry about him.Then I answered Lin Huaiyu's last letter asking him about buying land.
In the letter, Lin Ruhai told Lin Huaiyu that he had a good idea of buying land.However, he is young and doesn't know how to buy land, so let him not decide to buy land without authorization.He will ask someone to help him buy the land so that he doesn't have to worry about it.
Regarding Lin Huaiyu's desire to do business, Lin Ruhai did not object, on the contrary, he encouraged him to try.He also told Lin Huaiyu not to worry about losing money in business.However, you cannot blindly follow the trend to do business.
In the end, he wrote that if Lin Huaiyu and his brother and sister were unhappy living in Rongguo Mansion, they would go back to Yangzhou.
Seeing Lin Huaiyu's thoughtful expression after reading the letter, Ye Wenfu thought something happened, and asked with concern: "What did your father write?"
"Father said that if my sister and I were unhappy living in Rongguo Mansion, we would go back to Yangzhou." Lin Huaiyu felt that they had been in the capital for a while, and it was time to go back. "I'm thinking when will I go back to Yangzhou?"
"Back to Yangzhou?" Ye Wenfu raised his eyebrows, "Didn't Lin Ruhai ask you to go back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, why do you want to go back now?" Ye Wenfu scolded dissatisfiedly, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but this old Lin Ruhai actually It’s become impossible to talk.”
When Lin Huaiyu heard Ye Wenfu say this, he knew that he was reluctant to go back to Yangzhou with his sister.
"Although my father didn't say it in the letter, I guess my father should miss me and my sister." He and his sister have been in the capital for a while, but his father didn't say anything, but he should be worried about them in his heart.
"No, you can't go back now." Ye Wenfu frowned and said, "You have only been studying with me for a short time, how can I let you go back so soon."
"But, father's side..."
"Your father is very busy right now. If you go back, he won't be able to take care of you." Ye Wenfu realized that his tone was not very good, so he quickly slowed down and said, "You should go back in a few months."
"But..." Lin Huaiyu also wanted to go back to Yangzhou.
"No, but, I will write to Lin Ruhai and tell him that you will go back in a few months." Ye Wenfu said with a serious expression, "You are just studying with me. You haven't learned anything yet, so you can't just go back like this."
Ye Wenfu knew in his heart that when Lin Huaiyu and the others returned to Yangzhou this time, they might not come to the capital again for several years, unless they waited until Lin Huaiyu came to the capital to participate in the examination.
"Uncle, are you reluctant to let me go?"
Ye Wenfu was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then he said with a somewhat uncomfortable expression: "Who doesn't want you to leave, I'm your husband, I just taught you this, and you leave before he learns anything, when the time comes If others know, they think I didn’t teach you well.”
Listening to Ye Wenfu's duplicity, Lin Huaiyu held back a smile and said, "Uncle, you are not reluctant to part with me, but I am quite reluctant to leave you."
Ye Wenfu liked to hear these words, but he pretended not to care.
"Why don't you miss me?" Ye Wenfu said deliberately with a straight face, "No matter how nice the words are, I will not show mercy to you."
"Yes, yes, I understand that a strict teacher produces a high-level apprentice." I didn't expect Uncle Ye to have such an arrogant side.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's continue." Ye Wenfu held the book in front of him, preventing Lin Huaiyu from seeing the corners of his mouth that could not be controlled.
Lin Huaiyu immediately put away the smile on his face, and put on an appearance of listening to the class seriously.
At this time, Mrs. Wang was talking about family affairs in Aunt Xue's yard.Zhou Rui's family had something to do with Mrs. Wang, so they came to Aunt Xue's yard.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were talking, she couldn't go up and disturb her, so she went inside to say hello to Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai felt a little unwell today, so she just stayed in the room and didn't go anywhere.Seeing Zhou Rui's family coming, she quickly asked her to sit down.
Zhou Rui's family looked at Xue Baochai's sleepy expression, and asked with concern: "Miss Xue, you are not feeling well, and you don't look well?"
Xue Baochai said with a light smile, "It's nothing serious, it's just that my old problem has broken down. I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."
Zhou Rui's family knew that Xue Baochai had a root cause of illness, "Why don't you ask Imperial Physician Wang to show the girl."
"I don't treat well with this disease, so I can only take Lengxiang pills."
Zhou Rui's family asked what Lengxiang Wan was, and Xue Baochai told her the formula of Lengxiang Wan, which made Zhou Rui's family dumbfounded.
At this moment, Ying'er walked in and said, "The ladies have said something nice."
Zhou Rui's family hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xue Baochai, "Girl, I'm going to find my wife first."
"Go ahead."
It was no big deal for Zhou Rui's family to find Mrs. Wang, they just told Mrs. Wang that Jia Zheng was looking for her.
As soon as Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Zheng was looking for her, she hurried back.
Zhou Rui's family was going to go back with Mrs. Wang, but was stopped by Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue handed her a brocade box containing six palace flowers, and asked her to send it to the three girls of Jia Tanchun.As for the palace flower for Xiao Daiyu, she did not ask Zhou Rui's family to send it.She planned to wait for Xiao Daiyu and the others to come back before sending someone to send them.
In the evening, not long after Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu came back, Aunt Xue sent Yinger to deliver the palace flowers in person.
Xiao Daiyu opened the brocade box, and there were four exquisite and beautiful palace flowers inside, two of which were in the shape of plum blossoms, and Xiao Daiyu liked it very much.
Lin Huaiyu couldn't help but think of the content of the original novel about giving palace flowers. Zhou Rui's family gave palace flowers to Lin Daiyu at the end.However, looking at it now, these four palace flowers may be the most beautiful, and they were left alone by Aunt Xue early on, specially given to Xiao Daiyu.
"Like it?"
"I like it, the palace of plum blossoms
