Red Mansion(10)
Lin Daiyu sat on the boat, looking at the leisurely river, and what flashed in her mind was still the change in the attitude of the Jia family towards her when she saw her off. Not only are those subordinates respectful and flattering, but also those masters have a lot more things in their smiles. The eldest sister-in-law is no longer the bitter gourd face that rejects people thousands of miles away, and the second sister-in-law is talking and laughing with a bit of sincerity.
She's a smart person, but she doesn't want to think deeply.
The boat is not going fast, and although the scenery on both sides of the strait is depressed, if people are in a good mood, they will have a sense of beauty when they look at everything.
Zijuan whispered: "Girl, the wind is this river, so it's better to close the window." When the wind blows, it's not good. ”
Daiyu smiled: "That's it in the past." Now, not really. ”
Beneath him was a wolf's skin mattress, a large coat wrapped in mink, a hand stove in his arms, deerskin boots under his feet, and a brazier beside him, in which the silver frost coals were blazing. The window is half open, but it is just right to breathe.
Zijuan took out the rose dew brought out by the Jia family, "Otherwise, I will give the girl half a lamp." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the snow goose come in with a plate, and in the emerald green jade bowl on the plate, half a bowl of bright red fruit juice was filled. "Girl, try this. Freshly squeezed pomegranate juice from the grandmothers. ”
It's time to go back to Lin's house, and Snow Goose feels that the sky is blue and the water is clear. With the Lin family in place, her waist is also stiff. Seeing Zijuan holding half a bottle of rose dew in a small glass bottle, he smiled and said, "This is given by Sister Raider." A few days ago, I saw that the little girl in the treasure jade house divided the whole bottle, and how did it get into our hands and it was left by others. ”
Zijuan's face turned red and said, "Where is the rest." I don't know if someone has even out some. ”
"It's not worth anything. Xue Yan smiled, "There are several bottles in the kitchen right now." There are rose dew, chrysanthemum dew, plum blossom dew, lotus dew. There are flowers for all seasons, and there are a lot of sherbets. But the eldest girl in the family told me that no matter how good these things look, they are all processed things. I don't know after a few hands. He said he wasn't allowed to give these to our girls. Only let the fresh fruit, whether it is eaten or juiced, it is good. This pomegranate juice is specially transported from Chang'an tribute pomegranate, selected bright red, all of them are more than a catty, peeled and carefully squeezed out of the juice. ”
Zijuan's face changed, and the manpower and material resources spent on this could not be bought with many rose dew.
Daiyu took a sip and said with a smile: "It's very sweet." It's just too much of a waste. ”
Snow Goose approached Daiyu and whispered, "There are also baskets of Sydney pears, and there are apples and all kinds of fresh vegetables in the urn." It's very attentive. It's better to go home. ”
This made Daiyu agree with it very much. Since the arrival of the family, she has not been unhappy. Attentive and thoughtful everywhere.
In the Jia family, he is not a serious master. If you are good to yourself for a point or two, you have to accept the affection of others.
Jia Lian sent Lin Daiyu on this trip, and when she got on the boat, she realized that she might be a hillbilly.
Boats, that is, official ships that look at the ordinary. But the furnishings and arrangements inside are all filial piety of the salt merchants. Can it be bad.
He didn't even feel that this was on a boat, that it was on the journey.
When I got all the way to Yangzhou, I didn't have the slightest contempt.
As soon as the ship docked, a small man in Tsing Yi carried a warm sedan chair directly onto the ship. Not only Jia Lian was stunned, but even Lin Daiyu was stunned, when she got out of the cabin, she got into the warm sedan chair, and the wind didn't blow at all.
Jia Lian followed the sedan chair and got off the boat, only to see a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing on the pier. He is the uncle newly recognized by the Lin family.
Lin Yuyang had already seen Jia Lian, and in his mind, he matched this person with the person described by his sister, but there was not much difference. So he walked over with a smile and arched his hand: "This is Second Master Lian." It's really hard for you to run in person and send your sister back. ”
Jia Lian saw that between the young man's gestures, his extravagance was fully revealed, and there was a little vulgar look. He immediately smiled and said, "My cousin is too polite, just call my second cousin." Sending Sister Lin back, where can you talk about hard work. On the contrary, I was very well taken care of along the way, and I happened to see different scenery. I owe my cousin a thank you. ”
Lin Yuyang laughed: "This Yangzhou is full of scenery, and another day, let people take their cousin around to see it." ”
"Why, can't my cousin be with me? Jia Lian pretended to complain.
"My father is urging him to read, where do he dare to wander around. Don't hurt me, cousin. Lin Yuyang looked scared. Xindao, if I come out with you, my father will not do anything. But if I let my eldest sister know, I have to break my leg.
Jia Lian laughed with the same feeling, Lin Yuyang invited him to get into the carriage, and then turned to Lin Daiyu's sedan chair.
Lin Daiyu had already looked out of the small window of the sedan chair just now, this brother was completely different from what he imagined.
It is said that Baoyu is a rare talent, and now compared with his brother, it seems that his brother is an upright poplar, and Baoyu has become an orchid in the greenhouse.
Not at all.
The sedan chair stopped on the side of the carriage, and Lin Yuyang stood outside the sedan chair, "Little sister, change the carriage." My father is waiting in the house. ”
Zijuan stood next to the sedan chair, glanced at the Lin family uncle, and his face couldn't help but turn red. They grew up in the Jia family, and the people they have seen are either the masters of the Jia family, or the servants of the Jia family. Compared with the rest of the Jia family, Jia Baoyu is not Zhilan Yushu, it is excellent.
But when I got outside, I found that there were really a lot of good men. This uncle of the Lin family is more likable than Baoyu.
Daiyu came out of the sedan chair and was about to salute Lin Yuyang. Lin Yuyang stopped, "It's not an outsider, so you have to be polite." It's windy by the river, get in the carriage quickly. ”
The grandmothers helped Daiyu into the carriage, and Lin Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief. I'm used to getting along with my sister.,I prefer a girl with a sharp sorbet.。 Seeing his sister's delicateness, he surrendered first. It's not easy to deal with.
Lin Daiyu was extremely ironing in her heart. The sedan chair is warm, and the carriage is like a boudoir moving with it, and even the gong bucket is ready.
Zijuan just thinks that the Jia family is good, and she can't speak at this time.
Lin Ruhai sat in the hall and walked back and forth. It's anxious.
Lin Yutong felt sorry for his younger brother, this kind of day, cold and cold, on the dock, it must not be frozen. Seeing Lin Ruhai looking forward to Lin Daiyu like this, the little feelings that arose during this time, she pressed back again. Just like what I once imagined, what I recognized later is not the same as what I raised with my own hands.
Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with the arrangement of the eldest daughter. Although there are some knots in my heart for my wife, as the eldest sister, it is really commendable to be able to arrange for Daiyu to do this part.
When it comes to three children, he really doesn't know which one he is biased into.
For the eldest daughter, he relied on it. In his heart, this child is the one who can replace him and entrust him with great things.
For his son, and his only son, he has high hopes, and the hopes of the Lin family are all on him.
For the little girl, he loves it. This kid is inherently a little weaker than others.
Steward Lin looked at the old man, and then at the eldest girl, he hated to pull the old man's sleeve immediately and sue him, such a look is easy to misunderstand.
When Lin Yutong was stunned by Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu finally came back.
The father and daughter looked at each other with tears in their eyes, crying together. made Lin Yutong a little more bored.
Jia Lian handed it over to Steward Lin to settle down. And she herself dragged her brother to his brother's yard to make room for the father and daughter to talk. Or, she doesn't want to see other people's greasy energy.
Since Lin Daiyu entered the door, there was no one else in Lin Ruhai's eyes. This made Lin Yuyang feel a little disappointed, but at the same time, he felt at ease. At least, I don't trust this father 100% now.
Lin Yutong knows that children who grow up like his younger brother are wary of people. Few people can get into his heart. Today's events, more or less, always have some influence on him.
"Drink the ginger soup. Lin Yutong saw that his younger brother had changed his clothes and came out, so he urged.
Lin Yuyang's heart warmed, no matter what time it was, the eldest sister was there, and that was enough. You just can't be too greedy.
The sisters and brothers talked with each other, and no one mentioned Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu's father and daughter.
In the main hall, Lin Ruhai finally cleaned up his mood, and then remembered to introduce Daiyu to another pair of children, only to find that the two children had disappeared.
Steward Lin had already placed Jia Lian, and when he came back, the father and daughter were still excited. He didn't bother. But I know in my heart that today's lord has annoyed that little aunt and grandmother.
"Where's the big girl. Lin Ruhai was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask Steward Lin.
Steward Lin didn't invite Lin Yutong, this person's temper, he didn't want to be pouted back with an old face. smiled and said, "The eldest girl didn't ask anyone to disturb the master to talk to the second girl, so they all retreated." ”
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, this was completely unanswered. What do you mean to disturb them......
Thinking of this, he had a little more enlightenment. slapped his thigh, this thing is really inappropriate.
Lin Daiyu learned the most in the Jia family, I am afraid that it is to observe words and feelings. When she saw that her father's expression was wrong, she couldn't help but guess if it was because the eldest sister didn't like me to come back.
When I thought of this possibility, my heart suddenly felt uncomfortable. The tears couldn't help but fall again.
Lin Ruhai was distressed, and Steward Lin was stunned.
I just came back, and I can cry like this without anything. When did my own girl become like this? Moreover, so many people from the Lin family accompanied her all the way back, didn't she know that the master's body had not fully recovered. Why can't you control your own feelings?
After such a comparison, I suddenly felt that it was still a master like the eldest girl and uncle, and he was more temperamental.
