Chapter 31 The Red Chamber (31)(1/2)

&1t;script>Red Building 31

But Jia Yuanchun was happy and sad when he saw his family. The family of women shed a few tears. In addition to Mrs. Jia, Wang Xifeng's tears were real. She looked at the current prosperous scene and couldn't help but feel sad. Sometimes she would rather not know the direction of the future. If the scenery is better for a day, she would enjoy it for a day. Unlike now, everyone is drunk and I am awake alone. What is this step by step suffering?

Her appearance made You Shi next to her constantly turn her head and look at her. She thought to herself that this girl Feng had taken the wrong medicine today.

I heard Jia Yuanchun ask on the upper hand: "I heard that my aunt's cousin lives at home, why aren't I seeing you now?"

Jia Mu said: "The foreign relatives have no job and have never dared to enter. Now, Mrs. Xue and her daughter are taking the girl, and there are girls from the Shi family waiting outside."

When Jia Yuanchun heard this, he didn't know what Jia Mu meant. He said, "Come in with my aunt and two sisters. Then beat someone to invite my cousin Lin's family. It's okay if the family is full of flesh and blood."

Jia Mu responded and someone went to do it.

Lin Yutong and Lin Daiyu thought that Yuanchun would summon him, so they were all dressed in neat clothes. Unexpectedly, it was time when the lights were on. The person who came to pick him up was carrying a carriage and a carriage, which was obviously in a hurry.

But when the Lin sisters arrived, the poems and lyrics were finished. Lin Yutong was not good at this, and Lin Daiyu has not suppressed everyone's thoughts now. Her family background and situation are better than other sisters. Her mentality has also changed. The two of them did not care at all, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Tanchun is copying. Yuanchun called the two sisters to the front and asked about their well-being, and was very intimate. The sisters of the Jia family were not as good as possible.

"The two cousins ​​are really good." Yuan Chun praised.

It was not until the palace maids next to him reminded him that Yuanchun let the two of them go.

I asked for some play again. It would be fine to listen to it normally, but now in Wang Xifeng's ears, I just feel that every sentence is a sign of it. The joys and sorrows that come out make her feel so anxious that she can't breathe.

"...A gentleman has many desires and will be greedy for wealth and honor, and will be in vain. A villain has many desires and will seek more use of misfortunes, and will lose his life..."

The little actor's voice was clear, and every sentence was touched by Wang Xifeng's heart.

Lin Yutong was not worried about anything else, and just kept enjoying the rare feast. Suddenly, Yuanchun received another reward. It sounded that his sisters were a little heavier than the girls of the Jia family. Even before Lin Yuyang arrived, Yuanchun also gave him a reward like Baoyu.

The Jia family is not clear-headed and lit up. I thought to myself that even if I have been appointed as a concubine now, some families cannot neglect this. For example, the Lin family.

As for what Jia Yuanchun repeatedly told him not to be extravagant before leaving, it was probably Wang Xifeng who heard it.

After visiting the marriage, the Jia family finally got to rest. The Lin family still lived as usual.

Lin Daiyu read books, wrote poems, and then asked Lin Yutong to comment on them. Lin Yutong asked her to collect all these poems and wait for her father to come back in the future and let him choose one or two. She published the book by herself, and did not say she would take it outside, but only stayed in the Lin family for her future generations to read. It would be good.

This is exactly what Lin Daiyu said. Now he is more careful. I am afraid that there are any mistakes in the poems, which will be joked by future generations. Whenever I study, I become more serious and I don’t care about anything else.

In addition to cooking, Lin Yutong has been thinking about needlework and girl-like. She has never been able to cook in the past two years, and she has learned a lot of dishes. When she really knows how to cook, she realized that the idea of ​​collecting the recipes was actually unreliable. Because most of the ingredients in it have been included in protected animals in modern times. There are not even ingredients, so anyone wants the recipes? So, when she can eat them now, she will not be polite. The Lin family’s dining table has always been extremely rich.

She always thought that it was nothing to eat well. Just don’t waste it. Like the Jia family, there were only a few dishes on their own, and only a few of them moved their chopsticks before they could eat them. They would be rewarded with the servants if they didn’t eat them completely.

Although the servants are also human beings, it is right to treat them well. But you can spend a month, but you can't keep them like your master every day. No wonder none of the girls in this family are willing to go out. Except for the Jia family, where can you find such a good place to go?

The whole atmosphere of the Jia family is lazy. It seems that they want to make up for the busyness of the previous year.

But as the Lin family entered the examination room, they fell into tension. This incident did not alarm the Jia family. In Lin Yutong's words, it would not be too much to make a big fuss if they were to take the exam for a scholar.

Because of the family's affairs, Lin Daiyu only said that she was too lazy to move and did not pay tribute to Jia Mu. It was just a refreshment made by home. If you have to, you would have to beat the girl and give her some to Jia Mu. Jia Mu praised everyone, and there was nothing more caring than this child.

Lin Yutong made pea yellow today. Lin Daiyu felt that it was more delicious than what was made in this mansion, so she beat Zijuan to send it off. Before leaving, she reminded her: "Don't talk too much. If it's not good, I can only chase you away."

This is not asking Zijuan to just talk about the Lin family.

Zijuan lowered her head and then said goodbye. Now, if it weren't for the girl who was thinking about her old love, there would be no place for her to stand by. Not to mention that the girl from the Lin family was capable, even Xueyan was now being easily taken care of. She was no worse than others when doing things. She was more than others, that is, the girl was just the love she served by the Jia family for the past two years.

In the old lady's house, Aunt Xue, Miss Bao, and Miss Yun accompanied the old lady to joke.

Zijuan handed the food box in her hand to the little girl next to her, and said, "This is what our girl heard that the old lady didn't eat much last night and asked her to deliver it to the old lady. For the sake of her dedication, she would at least eat a few more bites."

Jia Mu nodded and said to Aunt Xue: "It turns out that it's just food accumulation. It's just a few bites. If you don't want this child, you'll know. Everyone says I usually love her, but how can I not love her if she tells me like this?"

Aunt Xue smiled and nodded.

Yuanyang brought the peas yellow in a while, and Mu Jia really ate a piece of it, "It's more delicate than what we usually eat."

He also asked Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun to taste it.

Shi Xiangyun ate a piece and said, "Sister Lin is too stingy. It's not a rare thing. If you give me a few more pieces, you can still eat them poorly."

Zijuan suddenly felt a little breathful and said with a smile: "Miss Yun was joking. This was made by the eldest girl at home. It was only for us to use on weekdays. Because the girl was a little hot these days, the eldest girl chose this seasonal pea yellow. She was afraid that it would not be eaten if it was rough. It was really impossible to sift a pound of pea noodles from ten kilograms of pea noodles for us to eat. It was really not that I couldn't bear to leave."

Shi Xiangyun was not convinced and wanted to speak, but was pulled by Xue Baochai.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "It seems that the quality of this thing is still about whether it is used here or not." She seemed to be feeling a little emotional.

Lin Daiyu's body became better under her nose. She didn't see her asking for medicine. Although she looked weaker than others, she rarely got sick. After all, she was still careful to take care of her. It took so much effort to get angry. Even if she was so disliked by Lin Yutong, she couldn't say anything bad.

Zijuan took the reward given by Jia Mu and then walked back. She heard Baoyu's house start to make trouble again, for a bowl of crispy cheese.

She had no intention of listening. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Qingwen coming out of it.

The two of them fell at the door and started talking.

"Why are sister Xiren, why don't you see me?" Zijuan smiled and said, "It seems that there is still a Tai Sui in Zhenshan who can succeed."

Qingwen sneered: "It's different now. She can't help but suppress anyone. Baoyu is not as good as before. Otherwise, she wouldn't think about staying home for a few days. You don't know our second master. He is the most soft-hearted. In just two days, he will think of her benefits. In just half a day, he will be beaten and brought back Xiren. Today, the empress in the palace gave her a nice cheese, but she kept it for her. Now the old pious woman named Li lost money and took a few mouthfuls of yellow soup. She was making a fuss."

Zijuan stuttered: "There is no need for this empress to reward, but she just wants to leave it to Xiren. What Madam Li wants is so righteous, but it is not that people don't know what to say." This will definitely not be possible in the Lin family.

"Your master is nothing, right?" Qingwen pursed her lips and smiled.

"A bowl of crispy cheese is nothing rare." Zijuan took out a few pieces of crispy cheese from the purse, "It's just made of milk. We've been trying to make trouble. There are so many good things in our mansion, and there are not many good things to the master. But this milk is really not a rare thing in the Lin family. Our girl uses it to bathe every day." As she said that, she stuffed the purse with crispy cheese to Qingwen, "This one is melted with warm water, and put some dried fruits in it, which is no worse than the steamed crispy cheese. I went to Mama Li to avoid making trouble like this. Without it, just hit someone to get it. I've made it. On weekdays, the little girl in the yard only puts the dried crispy cheese in her mouth as candy."

Qingwen looked at Zijuan's back, gasped for a few breaths, and sneered: "Now it's no longer as much as you beg us before, I'm getting more generous."

Then he turned around and entered the room, crossed his waist, cursed, and temporarily suppressed the girls. He then took his purse to Mama Li, "This is what our second master asked for you from Miss Lin. This thing can be stored and brought home to coax your grandson. It is no better than if you have covered it for a long time. Isn't it sour things?"

Madam Li then glanced at Qingwen, "I didn't expect that the old woman in the past was gone. You are a good person. But she turned out to be a traitor."

I heard a girl outside sneer and said, "Now that person is the second master's heart. Not to mention those who only know how to work for a while, even the nanny is now behind."

Qingwen hurriedly scolded her. But these words really added fuel to the fire, and Mama Li remembered Xiren again in her heart.

After seeing off Mama Li, Qingwen called Qiu Wen, who had just spoken outside, "What are you doing? We are not afraid of trouble, but we can't resist her making trouble every day."

Qiu Wen sneered: "A virtuous person has just left, and another virtuous person has come. We are not a thief, but we are treated as a thief guarding every day. Those who are taken and dirty, but they are more and more shameful."

Qingwen shook the curtain and went out, and only heard the voice: "If you don't accept it, you can go and be a thief. I'll be alone, don't get tired of me."

Musk Yue listened while listening, without saying anything, only remembering what the two said in her heart, thinking about waiting for Xiren's sister to come back, she still had to say it to her.

Zijuan told Daiyu about the lawsuit in Baoyu's house in detail after she came back.

Lin Daiyu only looked at the book in her hand and said, "What do you tell me about this? No matter what the world is, I am most afraid of the word "fairness". Anything that happens, it must come from "unfairness". Baoyu has always been at ease in doing things and does not think so much. But he can't resist others' not thinking about it. This room is just Baoyu's biased attitude, which has caused many stories."

Zijuan nodded and replied 'Yes', and she didn't dare to say more.

Life is particularly difficult while waiting. But there will be a day that will last. Lin Yuyang felt relaxed in the imperial examination in Beijing, but Lin Yutong was anxious to see it.

After the exam, Lin Yutong praised the parents' style and did not ask about the quality of the exam. She only asked for a good rest and then changed the way to make food for him.

Lin Yuyang had been fat at home for two days, but couldn't stand the care of her sister so much, so she took the article she did in the exam room and went to the Zhang family. After that, she came back, she said: "My uncle said there is no big problem. It depends on the ranking."

"Just pass the exam, it doesn't matter if you don't have a ranking." Lin Yutong waved her hand, which was completely a 60-year-old idea in college. Anyway, no matter how good the exam was, she was still a scholar. If she couldn't become a juren, what's the difference in her opinion? Although it's better to be a 'staff student', it proves that the ranking is good. But Lin Yutong has something to comfort her, "It's different now, and our family doesn't lack rice for food. It doesn't matter if this quota is given to those who need it more."

Lin Yuyang suddenly appeared. With such a stroke, he was really stress-free.

"I don't believe that the scholars can still put their rankings on their foreheads." Lin Yutong smiled, "From ancient times to the present, there are more candidates, and I can remember only 'Sun Shan'."

When Lin Daiyu heard what she said was funny, she couldn't help but lean on the table and laughed in a flash, "If my father heard this, he would be so angry that he jumped up."

Lin Yuyang smiled helplessly, "As long as my sister doesn't think her brother is unpromising, she will be unsuccessful."

"Don't be disappointed, don't be too persistent in everything. Take fame and fortune lightly and you will be relaxed." Lin Yutong carefully poured chicken soup for his younger brother to relieve the pressure of exams that he didn't know if he had any.

On the day of the opening, Lin Yuyang took Lin Ping to see it. Lin Yutong was in a state of ease at home.

Lin Daiyu joked: "If you take fame and fortune lightly, you will feel relaxed."

Lin Yutong was not embarrassed, "That's a fool of himself. In the world of fame and fortune, there are probably only two types of people who can be extraordinary. One is a person who has already made great profits in the world of fame and fortune, and the other is a person who knows that no matter how hard he works, it will be futile."

Lin Daiyu thought in her heart, "But there are those who really don't care about worldly fame and fortune."

"My sister is one!" Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows and smiled in her heart. When she gave birth to Lin Meimei in a poor family, she didn't know what to do when she couldn't eat and didn't cover her body.

When the sisters talked, a servant outside reported, "The young master passed the exam and got the second place."

Lin Yutong stood up suddenly, "Okay! Reward."

He also told Sister Ping that every servant in the yard would receive three months of monthly silver. He would be extremely happy for a moment.

Lin Yutong asked again: "Why are you now, why don't you see me?"

"The young master has returned to our house, and there is a treat when the good news comes. In addition, I have to give my ancestors a stick of incense." The servant replied quickly, and Lin Yutong gave him a reward again.

When I think this is right, I can’t report to the Jia family when I report the good news.

"Sister-in-law Ping, send the wedding cakes prepared in advance to all the masters in this mansion." Lin Yutong was furious and didn't mind that others thought she was so proud.

Even Lin Daiyu understood that in those years, it was all lies that it was so lies to earn money to support the family and support my younger brother in school.

When the Jia family received the wedding cake, they found out that the Lin family's cousin had won the second place.

But this case is already in his thirties. And how old is Lin Yuyang, he is still a teenager. No need to ask or look at anything else. With this skill, you will know that this future is already promising.

The one who shocked the most was Mrs. Wang. The Lin family’s children are about the same age as Baoyu, and they are even younger. They have already passed the scholarship and have a very good ranking. Even their own pearls are not as good as those.

On the other hand, Baoyu is still lying all day long, and for most of a year, she doesn’t go out at home without going out for half a year. She can have a chance to get along with the girls all day long. Although there is an empress in the palace, Empress Chang also says something about studying and being well educated.

If Baoyu is still like this and can't make it, he really has to consider the title. He is just a treasure, and if he doesn't plan for him, who can he do?

Jia Mu smiled and asked someone to pick up the wedding cake, gave her something to give her, and then beat her back, and she pondered for a while. The Lin family was really inactive. It would be fine if she had a male, but this child was still very promising.

But the matter between the two Yu'er is hard to say.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Yuanyang, "This Brother Yang must be fourteen."

Yuanyang's heart suddenly broke out and said, "Yes! He is a little younger than Master Bao."

Jia Mu nodded and shook her head again, and she was really frowning. Her Baoyulin family looked down on her and refused to promise Daiyu. She was afraid that the marriage between Brother Yang was not good. The second girl was soft-hearted, while the third girl was good. Unfortunately, the second girl was only from the fifth grade. A concubine from the fifth grade, who wanted to say that she was the legitimate son of the first grade official, not to mention the original wife, even the second wife, she might not be qualified.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a lot of boredom.

On the other hand, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan took Sanchun and Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun to the Lin family to congratulate.

Lin Yutong asked Sister Ping to prepare a banquet for a banquet. Wang Xifeng had already gotten along with Lin Yutong, and got Lin Yutong's tips. There was a secret between the two, so their relationship was naturally closer than others. He also thought that if the family really fell into decline in the future, they would naturally be closer to the Lin family. Because Jia Lan was in the Lin family, Lin Yuyang taught Jia Lan seriously for most of the time every day, Jia Lan told her that she felt that she had learned more in the Lin family than in half a month in school. Li Wan chanted Buddha's name in her heart.
