"I don't believe that the scholars can still put their rankings on their foreheads." Lin Yutong said with a smile, "Since ancient times, there have been many candidates, and I can remember one 'Sun Shan'."

Lin Daiyu heard what she said was so funny that she couldn't help but lean on the table and burst out laughing, "If Daddy hears this, he will be so angry that he will jump to his feet."

Lin Yuyang smiled helplessly, "Anyway, as long as my sister doesn't think her brother has no future, he won't be disappointed."

"Don't be disappointed, don't be too persistent in everything. Take fame and wealth lightly, and you will be more relaxed." Lin Yutong carefully poured chicken soup for the soul to his brother to relieve the pressure of exams.

On the day the list was published, Lin Yuyang took Lin Ping to see it. Lin Yutong was restless at home.

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

Lin Yutong was not embarrassed, "That's nonsense to fool people. In Vanity Fair, there are only two kinds of people who can transcend the world. One is those who have made huge benefits in Vanity Fair, and the other is those who know that no matter how hard they try, it will be in vain. people."

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

"Let me count my sister as one!" Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows and said, but he was laughing in his heart, thinking that Sister Lin was born in a poor family, with no food to eat and no clothes to cover her body, and she didn't know what to do.

While the two sisters were talking, a boy outside reported, "The young master has won the exam and got second place in the exam."

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

He also ordered Sister-in-law Ping that all the servants in the courtyard would be rewarded with three months' worth of silver. The joy for that moment was boundless.

Lin Yutong asked again: "Where is the person now? Why can't I see him?"

"Young master has returned to our home, and there is a treat for the good news. In addition, we must offer incense sticks to our ancestors." The young man replied quickly, and Lin Yutong rewarded him again.

When I think about it, this is right. The good news cannot be reported to the Jia family.

"Sister-in-law Ping, send the wedding cakes prepared in advance to all the masters in this house." Lin Yutong's eyebrows were beaming, and she didn't mind at all that others thought she was getting carried away.

Even Lin Daiyu understood that in those years, it was so difficult to earn money to support the family and support her younger brother's education. It was all a lie to say that she did not expect to become a talented person.

As soon as everyone in the Jia family received the wedding cake, they inquired and found out that the young cousin of the Lin family had won the second place.

But the head of the case was already in his thirties. How old was Lin Yuyang? He was still a teenager. No need to ask, no need to look at other things, just this ability, I knew that this future was already promising.

The one who was most shocked among them was Mrs. Wang. The children of the Lin family were about the same age as Baoyu, or even a little younger. Now they have all been admitted to the scholar examination, and their rankings are still very good. Even their own Zhu'er can't compare with them.

On the other hand, Baoyu is still fooling around all day long. He stays at home for most of the year. What can he do if he hangs out with the girls all day long?

He also said something about studying, making progress, and being well-educated.

If Baoyu is still like this and can't be broken off, he really has to think about this title. If he doesn't plan for him, who else can he do for?

Mother Jia smiled and asked someone to take the wedding cake, and gave her a reward. She sent the person back, and then she pondered alone for a long time. The Lin family really couldn't move. It was okay to have a male, but this child was still

A very promising person.

But the matter of the two Yu'ers is hard to say.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked Yuanyang, "Brother Yang must be fourteen years old."

Yuanyang's heart suddenly trembled, and she said, "Yes! It's a little smaller than Mr. Bao."

Jia Mu nodded, then shook her head, looking really sad. Even the Lin family looked down upon her precious jade and refused to marry Daiyu, so the marriage of Brother Yang would be impossible even for a few of her own girls.

The second girl is soft-tempered, but the third girl is kind. It’s a pity that the second girl is only from the fifth rank. A concubine from the fifth rank, she wants to be the legitimate son of a first-rank official, not to mention the original wife, but the stepmother.

, may not be qualified.

Thinking about it this way, it inevitably adds a lot of annoyance to my heart.

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

Lin Yutong asked Sister-in-law Ping to prepare a banquet for the reception. Wang Xifeng had fallen in love with Lin Yutong, and got some advice from Lin Yutong. There were secrets 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, he would rely on the Lin family.

There are more, so naturally they are a bit closer. Because Jia Lan is at Lin's house, Li Wan, Lin Yuyang teaches Jia Lan seriously for half an hour every day. Jia Lan tells her that she feels that she can learn more in a day at Lin's house than in half a month at school.

There are more. Li Wan kept chanting Buddhism in his heart and felt that the Lin family was not the kind of people who kept secrets in their hearts. They were closer to each other. Yingchun had never had a hard time with anyone. Xichun had always had a bad temper with Daiyu. Tanchun wanted to see

He decided his attitude based on the expressions of Jia Mu and Mr. Wang. The Lin family was so generous in building the Grand View Garden, but Mr. Wang was embarrassed to show off their expressions. Tanchun's attitude was naturally affectionate. Xue Baochai was the most obedient.

At that time, people in the room were chatting and laughing happily. Only Shi Xiangyun didn't speak, and everyone didn't care.

After a while, Jia Huan, Jia Cong and Jia Lan came to congratulate them. Lin Yutong smiled and asked someone to pass it to Lin Yuyang and asked him to come forward to receive him seriously.

But he said that these people were not taken seriously. Originally, Jia Huan was gambling with a few girls and was upset after losing money. He met Jia Lan who was going to congratulate him. Thinking about the Lin family's wealth, he could not get anything.

You know, so I asked Jia Cong to come with me.

I just thought that my sister-in-law was visiting, and I was afraid that no one would entertain them. At most, a decent girl would send them away. But I didn’t expect that Lin Yuyang would personally take them to the living room in the front yard. He served them tea first, and then said

They chatted for a while, and then the serious banquet was laid out.

"I didn't know that my cousin would entertain guests." Jia Huan never thought that the Lin family would entertain him, and said a little uncomfortably.

"What kind of guests are we waiting for? We, brothers, uncles and nephews, are just having a meal together. The wine is only sweet wine. If I really want you to get drunk, I can't explain it."

Both Jia Huan and Jia Cong were a little flattered. Jia Lan came here often, and he also knew that the Lin family values ​​​​their rules and would never look down on others for no reason. He smiled and said, "But the wine is brewed by my eldest cousin."

Lin Yuyang smiled and said: "That's right. The taste is lighter and not intoxicating."

Li Wan over there heard Lin Yutong's solemn reception and smiled: "They are so young, how can they be so solemn."

Lin Yutong smiled and said: "A serious man's family, how can you be negligent?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at Lin Yutong and felt thoughtful.

But she said that because of Lin Yuyang's incident, Mrs. Wang also wanted to see how well Baoyu was doing in her studies. She took Zhou Rui's family to Baoyu's house without disturbing anyone. She was afraid that these girls would hide it for Baoyu and make trouble for herself. Come back

When I asked, they all said they had read a few books. But they couldn’t read every day, as they would never make any progress. If she were to be caught, who would be the devil, and she would have to be punished.

No, before I entered the yard, I heard the noise inside.

"Who is shouting?" Wang's face suddenly darkened.

"It's Grandma Li, right?" Zhou Rui's family whispered, "This old guy is probably pissed off by these girls."

Being able to be Baoyu's nanny proves that at least Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu can trust this person. The Zhou Rui family naturally knows which way to talk.

Mrs. Wang nodded, "She treats Baoyu well."

The older children who are raised by their own hands have more genuine feelings than others no matter what.

I heard Grandma Li scolding me: "It's a clear day, you're lying on the kang in such a big way. You're such a charming fox, how old is Baoyu?"

Mrs. Wang's face darkened and she asked Zhou Rui's family, "Who is this talking about?"

"I'm afraid it's the Xiren girl." Zhou Rui's family said with a smile, "Maybe there is some reason. That girl is definitely not someone who can be manipulated."

There were also curses inside, "...I dragged him out sooner or later to accompany the young man, so that you wouldn't have to coax Baoyu..."

Zhou Rui's family didn't look like it, so they stopped him quickly and said, "You old man, how come you have such a bad temper?"

Grandma Li said: "Anyway, I don't want to have the dignity of these decades and cause a scene to avoid being angry with this prostitute."

Xiren had been a little feverish, but he was really feeling uncomfortable today, so he was lying down. He didn't want to get Nanny Li caught and cause a big fuss.

When Mrs. Wang showed up supporting Zhou Rui's family, everyone in the room was startled. In the past, she had gone back and forth, but she never really lured his wife out.

Aunt Li apologized, but she felt aggrieved, and whispered to Mrs. Wang: "It was fine in the first one or two years, but my brother was younger after all. Now he is getting older, and this attacker is uncomfortable. I feel uneasy.

.Perhaps I have overthought it. But now I have no choice. What should I do if I get pregnant?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned and nodded, "I know your feelings for Baoyu."

Only then did he look at Xiren. He looked lazy and his face was a little flushed. He had grown a lot in the past two years and became a bit flattering. He knew that he might not be honest, so he didn't lead Baoyu to make a fuss at night.

Keeping this in mind, she gave the girl in the yard a few words and said, "Since Xiren is not feeling well, he should rest."

He hurriedly took Zhou Rui's family back to the yard.

"Do you still have the medicine?" Wang asked in a low voice.

Zhou Ruijia's heart skipped a beat and he whispered: "Yes. It's just that this medicine is overbearing..." After all, there is a difference in attitude towards her husband's concubines and towards her son's concubines.

"Yes." Mrs. Wang nodded, closed her eyes and twisted the beads in her hand, and said nothing.

Zhou Rui's family knew what Wang meant. She lowered her head and left.

Xiren consciously escaped the disaster, and his body became weaker and weaker. He was supported by Baoyu and lay down on the kang, saying: "Thank you for your mercy, Madam."

Another handyman woman brought Erhe medicine, and Jia Baoyu asked She Yue to feed it. "You lie down peacefully, and I'll go see the old lady."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door. He was noisy and yelling all day long, how interesting was this life.

A trace of sadness flashed in Xiren's eyes. If it had happened before, he would never have left her and left like this.

Baoyu went out, thinking that it was still early for dinner and he didn't know where to go.

Seeing voices coming from far away, it was the Lin family's banquet that had broken up, and everyone in the Jia family was walking back.

Li Wan took Jia Lan back to his courtyard. Wang Xifeng had family matters to deal with every day. As soon as he left the Lin family, he was taken away by several housekeepers' wives, and he didn't know what to do.

Sanchun went to Xichun's house to see her paintings.

On the contrary, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and the girl were together with Jia Huan and Jia Cong.

Ying'er talked to Jia Huan: "I won the last round. You took the money and left. You are still a man."

Jia Huan defended: "Who is cheating on you? You made a mistake yourself, but now you come to me."

Ying'er wanted to talk back, but Xue Baochai scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about."
