The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac

Chapter 152

Xingjian collected the things and retreated.

On New Year's Eve, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Chen Yun used to like to wear green robes or white robes most, but today he changed into a silver-red brocade robe.

Although he has practiced martial arts all year round, his complexion is not dark.On the contrary, not only is it not black, it is also so white that it shines.

He was dressed in a red robe, making him even more handsome.

He came to the east courtyard early in the morning to pay his respects, and Chen Yunyu was also here. When he saw Chen Yun, he immediately jumped over, "Second brother, second brother, you are so handsome today!"

Chen Yun smiled lightly, "Why wasn't the second brother handsome before?"

"Second brother was handsome before, but he is even more handsome today." Chen Yunyu said cheerfully.

Chen Yun stretched out his hand and knocked him on the head, "You are studying at Baihe Academy, but you didn't improve your knowledge, but you learned these frivolous accents."

"Ouch, second brother."

Chen Yun ignored him and went up to greet his parents.

After a while, his elder brother's family of four also came to pay their respects, and when they were all present, they went to the main courtyard to pay their respects to their grandparents.

The family gathers in the main courtyard to watch the new year.

Chen Yun received the New Year's money from his elders through the unmarried people of this generation. His eldest brother and cousin have been married for many years, and they have children, so naturally they have no share.

However, although Chen Yun borrowed the New Year's money, he was also an uncle and had to give New Year's money to his nephews and nieces.

Chen Yingchao and Chen Jingxian under his elder brother's knees; Chen Yinghong under his cousin's knees.

There are only three of the younger generation.

On New Year's Eve, we have to watch the whole night. It's still early, and it's rare for the family to get together to chat.

The elders talk about the elders, and the younger ones talk about the younger ones.

The brothers Chen Yunze and Chen Yuning from Sanfang were not very old, so they took Chen Yunyu and Chen Yingchao to set off firecrackers.

Chen Yun was chatting with Chen Yunxian and Chen Yunheng here.

At this time, Qian Xinlu, the housekeeper of the house, came.

"Old Qian didn't celebrate with the people below, why did he come here?" Chen Puhe said with a smile.

For Chinese New Year, Chen Puhe will not put on airs.

Qian Xinlu is the manager of the mansion, and all the servants of the Chen mansion are in his charge.

"Returning to the old man, a little girl came outside and said that she was ordered to give the third master a New Year's gift." Qian Xinlu said with a smile.

The only connection between the Lin family and the Chen family is Chen Yuntzu. His unmarried wife is the young lady of the Lin family.

For a moment, the eyes of the elders and the younger in the room were all on Chen Yuntzu.

Chen Yun was a little confused, "Give me a gift? Did that little girl say who she is?"

"She calls herself Xueyan, and she is Miss Lin's maid." Qian Xinlu said.

Xueyan is indeed Lin Daiyu's personal servant girl. Daiyu lived in Chen's house twice, and she was accompanied by Xueyan. All the masters and masters of Chen's house knew Xueyan.

It seems that the person who gave the gift is Daiyu.

"Since it's a gift, let's meet Yunjuan." Chen Puhe said with a smile.

Embarrassed by being stared at by the elders, Chen Yun got up and bowed, and went to the side hall.

"Butler Qian, where are you?"

"Already waiting in the side hall."

It's so cold, you can't let people wait at the gate, right?

Chen Yun hurried to the side hall, and saw Xueyan standing in the hall holding a long wooden box.

Seeing Chen Yunjue, Xueyan bowed her knees, "I've met Mr. Chen."

"Your girl asked you to come?" Chen Yun was a little surprised.

This didn't happen in previous years.

Xueyan's eyebrows drooped, "Today is New Year's Eve, the girl asked the servants to come and give gifts, please accept it, Mr. Chen."

Since it was a gift, of course Chen Yun would not refuse it.

He took the long wooden box, which was a bit heavy, but it seemed to be the weight of the wooden box, and the contents of the wooden box were not heavy.

"what is this?"

"Young Master Chen, you'll know when you open it."

Chen Yun smiled, put the box on the table next to him, opened it, and it was a scroll.

He picked it up, removed the red string from the scroll, unfolded it, and was stunned.

This is a picture written by Daiyu herself.

There is a bluestone path in the middle of the verdant bamboo forest. The back figure in the green robe walks forward, and there are snowflakes in the sky.

There is also a poem on the right.

The poem is not original by Daiyu, but a four-character poem in the Book of Songs.

Calligraphy also has only eight characters.

A gentleman with words, warm as jade.

Chen Yun blinked and couldn't help laughing.

This girl, being treated lightly by him, actually praised him as a gentleman.

The scene in this painting is the back view of him leaving after sending Daiyu back the day he kissed Daiyu.

At the same time, Daiyu, the old guard of the Lin family, looked at the night sky and wondered whether Chen Yun had received the gift she asked Xueyan to send.

She couldn't sit still, put on a big cloak, got up and went to the outside room, standing in the porch, dazed.

Suddenly hearing two clicks, she turned her head and saw Xingjian standing not far away, holding a wooden box in her hand.

"Star Sword?"

Xing Jian said, "Second Master ordered the villain to come and give gifts."

Daiyu was surprised when she heard this, "Brother Yunjue received my gift, did you give it in return?"

Xingjian has always been expressionless, so he was taken aback by this question, "What gift?"

Hearing this, Daiyu knew that when Xingjian came to give gifts, she didn't know that she borrowed gifts from Chen Yun.

She smiled lightly.

Could it be that there is a tacit understanding?

"give it to me."

Xingjian didn't ask any more questions, and stepped forward to give the box to Daiyu.

Daiyu opened it and saw that there was a folded note with a concentric knot pressed underneath it.

She opened the note and took a look.

On it is Chen Yunjuan's handwriting.

——Wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will never be separated.

A smile spread across Daiyu's face, "Lao Xingjian conveyed brother Yun's heart, I have received it."

Xingjian bowed his hands and took his leave.

Here Chen Yun rolled up the picture, "I have received the gift, and I will order someone to take you back."

"Mr. Chen, don't you have anything to convey to the servant?" Xue Yan asked in surprise.

Chen Yun was startled when he heard the words, remembering what he asked Xingjian to give to Daiyu, he smiled, "I want to convey, your girl may have received it by now."

Xueyan was at a loss.

But Chen Yun had no intention of explaining to her, and asked Steward Qian to find two guards to send Xueyan back to the Lin Mansion.

He carefully put the scroll back into the box, closed it again, and let Qing Mo put it in his study.

When he returned to the main hall, everyone in the room looked at him.

"What gift did Miss Lin give you?" Mrs. Chen asked with a smile.

Chen Yun smiled, "It's her picture."

"Sister Lin wrote it herself?" Chen Yingying got close to Daiyu and knew that Daiyu was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Chen Yun nodded with a smile, "Yes."

"Seeing you smiling so happily, what did you draw?" Chen Yingying asked curiously.

Chen Yun glanced at her, "No comment."

"Stingy!" Chen Yingying snorted, "You and Yu'er are both little white-eyed wolves, and I'll give you my heart and soul, but you're fine, one of them crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, and the other won't give me a painting no matter how much I beg."

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, "My sister wants to paint? You tell me, I have money, and I will buy you as much as you want."

"Stop pretending to be stupid!" Chen Yingying stared at him and said, "What I want is Yu'er's painting."

"Sister, why are you so obsessed with Yu'er's painting? It's not a national painting master, it's worthless." Chen Yun excused.

Chen Yingying snorted, "It's worthless? Then give me the painting that Yu'er gave you."

"Sister, don't push yourself too hard, I even said I bought it for you." Chen Yun excused.

Chen Yingying rolled her eyes at him, "Hmph, and said it's worthless."

"This painting is indeed worthless, but to me, it is Yu'er's wish and it is a priceless treasure."

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent.

Immediately everyone laughed, even the children like Chen Yunyu didn't understand these things, but when adults laughed, they laughed too.

For a moment, the whole room burst into laughter.

Chen Yunxian suppressed a smile and said, "It's terrible, there is a big love affair in our family."

"Brother..." Chen Yun didn't feel embarrassed, but he was a little ashamed when everyone laughed.

Chen Yunxian patted Chen Yunjue on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's okay, what Yunjue said is correct, since it's Sister Lin's intention, it is naturally a priceless treasure to Yunjuan." After a pause, he looked at Chen Yingying, "Yingying , Sister Lin’s calligraphy, I advise you not to think about it any more, it’s better to ask Yunlen to buy you a few more sets.”

Chen Yingying choked, "You brothers breathe out of one nostril, hum."

"I'm thinking of you, Yunjue has money now, if you don't ask him for it now, I'm afraid he will spend it all." Chen Yunxian said with a light smile.

Chen Yingying said, "How much money can he have?"

Don't think she doesn't know that the assets Chen Yunlian has now are all given by the elders in the family.

She didn't want to focus on Chen Yun borrowing this little family money.

"That's why you are ignorant. Yunjue went to Meiyuan in June, and when he came back, he asked me to buy him a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing, preferably with hot springs. I asked him what he was going to do, and guess what he did Say?" Chen Yunxian ignored Chen Yunji's winks at him and said with a smile.

Chen Yunxian's words attracted the attention of the whole family.

Chen Yun covered his face.

His big brother is really, ruining others!

In fact, as soon as the construction of the garden started, the whole family would know about it, and he never thought about hiding it.

Although the family members will know about this matter sooner or later, Chen Yunjue really never thought about it, on occasions like New Year's Eve, to tell the story.

"Yingcai, don't be a fool, tell me quickly." Chen Tianlu, the third master of the Chen family, urged.

Chen Yunxian took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "He said that he would draw the blueprints by himself and build a unique garden for Sister Lin."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Chen family was surprised again.

"You have so much money to build a garden?"

Chen Yunxian didn't say where the money came from, "He has it, and borrowing it is a way to make money."

"Brother, stop talking." Chen Yun said with a sigh.

Chen Yingying sighed, "A unique garden." It's really enviable.

"This garden can be said to be reserved, and I want to give it to Sister Lin as a wedding gift." Chen Yunxian shook his head and sighed, "I always thought that I was already a husband who would spend money on my wife, but compared with Yunyu, how can I say that?" I'm really being compared."

Facing the smiling gazes of the whole family, Chen Yun just wanted to find a needle to sew his elder brother's mouth shut.

Isn't it because he didn't agree to help him draw a garden drawing?

As for? !

This year's New Year's Eve, Chen Yunjuan spent being teased by the whole family.

Wait until dawn to worship the ancestors.

Chen Yun only escaped unharmed.

After the ancestor worship in the New Year, it is to pay New Year's greetings to various families.

It wasn't until the Lantern Festival that Chen Yunjuan was free, changed into a snow blue brocade robe, and came to the Lin family.

First went to meet Lin Ruhai, then picked up Daiyu and went to the Lantern Festival.

The Lantern Festival was as lively as ever, only once a year, and Daiyu was very happy to wander around the streets and alleys with Chen Yunting.

When I came home, I had a rabbit lamp in my hand.

She remembered the Hungry Ghost Festival many years ago. Chen Yun once said that he would give her a rabbit lantern every year.

However, what she received was not just a rabbit lamp.
