Hongyun looked up with a smile, and saw a piece of crystal white skin, just like a warm white jade, exuding a layer of moist pearl. Picturesque eyebrows, a pair of eyes that seem to be able to speak, are smiling at him like a crescent moon.

"Say whatever you want."

Hongyun, who was choked by Daiyu's words, almost didn't mention it in one breath, and quickly stood up, regardless of making a deep bow first, before saying: "Hongxiang of the Nine Emperor Uncle's family was led to see you and Baoyu coming out of the teahouse one after the other, but I know that you are fine." ”

"If you believe that we are all right, you don't need my explanation. What's more, I don't have much to explain. Daiyu had a hint of pride on her face, Baoyu was not good in a thousand ways, this time for her, it can be said that she had turned her back on her mother, and she would definitely accept this love. Since she confessed her feelings, she would not publicize this matter to the outside world, even if Hongyun was reliable, she would not be able to.

"I believe it." Hongyun is very simple, although Sister Lin is a woman, she has her own arrogant bones, and he believes that she should not be tempted.

Picking up the fruit wine that had just been delivered, "I punished myself with three glasses, and in the future, I will never do this again." ”

"I'll accompany you for three drinks, and if you have anything, I'll ask you directly, and I'll believe what you say. It's just that it's not easy to believe in people, and if you deceive each other once, this life is a stranger. Daiyu raised her glass, her eyes were as clear as water, and there was tenderness and stubbornness in her eyes.

"In this life, if I deceive you, I will be cut off and killed." After saying that, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and Daiyu didn't even have a chance to stop it.

Putting down the wine glass, I saw that Daiyu's hand was still resting on the table, like the finest white porcelain, glowing with light. Hongyun couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and hook her fingertips. Sure enough, it was delicate and smooth, like a piece of warm jade, which directly warmed his heart.

The best thing is that Daiyu didn't push him away, just glanced at him with disgust and turned her head to look at the peony garden below. He was emboldened to hold her hand in the palm of his hand as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

"Sister Lin, I picked a peony for you, the most beautiful, see if it's beautiful." At the head is Ulan, who runs in with a peony, and behind is the guy who delivers vegetables.

Hongyun felt the palm of his hand burn, like a small fish sliding out of his palm. Daiyu's hand had been retracted, and she was taking the flower in Ulan's hand and praising it.

"I'll put it on for you." Ulan pinned her to the bun, the pink and white delicate petals, set off the girl's bright eyebrows and eyes, the pink face is spring, pretty and lovely. has its own romantic charm, and Hongyun who watched it stood on the spot.

"They didn't let me pick it, but they still reported the name of Jiubo, and then gave me one." As soon as Ulan said Daiyu, he understood that this peony garden was the property of the ninth master.

"Miss, that kid from the Shi family is across the street." When Daiyu went downstairs to the carriage, Xingguo went to help her and whispered this.

"Ignore it." said that he ignored it, but in the end he lifted the curtain of the car window and took a look. Shi Yuan was like a soulless puppet, standing across the street in a daze, looking at her carriage.

When Daiyu got home, Jia Min was looking through the gift list, and when she saw her daughter, she raised her voice and said: "It's just right to come back, Shi Tearyun's wedding date is just a few days, and Mama Su helped set the gift list, you can also take a look." ”

"I see that Mama Su is very thoughtful, so let's follow this, find a brighter-eyed Mama to give a gift, so as not to fall into the pit of the Shi family and not be able to climb out."

"Our Daiyu is right, let Mama Su deliver it herself." Jia Min chuckled and handed the gift slip back to Mama Su.

The gift list set by the next person, in addition to being comprehensive, must have a place for the host to add to show affection. But none of the two masters said Tim, and Miss's words have already indicated that no one in the family will ever add makeup to this Miss Shijia, and Mama Su will understand what attitude she should use.

The historian said that the family is higher than the Jia family, but over the years, the big guys have watched coldly, and these noble families are extremely neglected today. There is a knighthood empty, and the excerpt of the prince is handed down year after year, and it is not sent every year. What does it mean, no one dares to talk about it, but there is an account in my heart.

After Shi Xiangyun got married, it was Shi Yuan's wedding date, and he married people into the door, and when he returned to the door for three days, Jia Qin only went back to his house to sit down, and then went to Rongguo Mansion to kowtow to the old lady.

On the way back, Shi Yuan, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth, "Aren't you going to Lin Mansion to have a look?" She's also your aunt. ”

This aunt was a little far away, but Shi Yuan opened her mouth, Jia Qin's movements froze, and she quickly returned to normal, "What the husband said is, how did I forget Aunt Lin, but the gift box was not prepared, this is ......"

"It's okay, I've got it." The corners of Shi Yuan's lips hooked slightly, and Jia Qin lowered his eyes gloomily. The road was more difficult than she imagined, so what, she had already taken the first step, and she believed that the future would be good. The hand that is clenched in the sleeve is slowly released, and the pattern on the skirt is gently rubbed with the palm of the palm to calm your mood.

Daiyu has a ridiculous feeling of sitting at home and disaster falling from the sky. Jia Qin returned to the door on the third day, and went to Rongguo Mansion, not to mention, but actually came to his own house. What is this, whether it is a return to the door or a visit.

Jia Min welcomed the two of them in with a smile and glanced at Shi Yuan, "It's a pity that you didn't say it in advance, otherwise you should have asked Jingyu to come back to entertain the guests." ”

"It's okay, I'll just go for a walk in the front yard." Shi Yuan was very polite, and Jia Min had no choice but to let Daiyu's husband come out to accompany the guests. This gentleman was still the one that the thirteenth master sent to Yangzhou back then, and later came to Jinling, Jingyu sent it to Guozijian, Daiyu began to learn to be a housekeeper, and he went to Lin Ruhai to listen to it.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a staff member, but because he has all his knowledge and acts chicly, he is very compatible with Lin Ruhai. Coming out to entertain the juniors is also considered to be the etiquette of the Lin family.

Daiyu heard that Jia Qin was coming, so she also came over to see her. Observing carefully, I saw that her face was calm, and it was not bad to think that she had come, and she was very relieved: "I am relieved to see my sister like this." ”

Jia Min let them go to talk, Daiyu led her to her yard, Jia Qin was envious: "It's still the Lin family is clean, the Shi family is a wealthy family, and they live in pits and valleys, if it weren't for the gate outside, I would have gone back to the backstreet of Rongguo Mansion." ”

The backstreet of Rongguo Mansion is where the clansmen and subordinates who live in Jiafu live, and Dai Yu, who was provoked by Jia Qin's words, laughed, "That's fine, save Sister Qin's life." ”

The two jokes have shortened the distance a lot, and in the eyes of others, they are talking and laughing, and the relationship is really good.

After entering the house, Jia Qin restrained her smile and said in a low voice: "My husband asked me to say sorry to my sister, and he said that he didn't know about it at the beginning. ”

Daiyu lost her color, "Why are you ......" actually helped Shi Yuan spread this kind of words to another woman, even if Shi Yuan had a problem with her, there was no need to be so aggrieved.

"What can I do, my mother-in-law doesn't like it, my husband doesn't want to, if I don't obey it, won't it become an ornament." Jia Qin should be resentful, but her voice is very calm, as if stating that the garment is red and the hairpin is white, just a fact, without a trace of emotion.

"When you're done, let's go back early." Daiyu really didn't know what to say, so she could only ask her to leave.

Jia Qinfu saluted, didn't speak, followed the maid out of the door, went to the front yard to see Shi Yuan, and went out of the Lin Mansion together.

"I said it as it was, and my sister was very surprised, and she didn't seem very happy."

"Okay." Shi Yuan's hand was on Jia Qin's hand, who had been twisting the handkerchief, Jia Qin was shocked, and she obediently held it.

Shi Yuan did not marry Lin Daiyu, if you want to say that the most annoyed person, in addition to Mrs. Shi, the other is Xia Jingui. At this time, she was as soft as if she had no bones, and she was tightly curled up in the arms of the ninth master, like a snoring cat.

The tone was not good, "You stuffed the peach blossoms into the Thirteenth Master's Mansion and were rejected, and the good family affairs you arranged for the Shi family were also ruined by the Lin family, so you choked on this tone." ”

Seeing that the ninth master squinted slightly and didn't speak, Xia Jingui said unwillingly: "You can't ask the emperor to give you a marriage, the emperor has made a decree, and the Lin family can still resist the decree." Otherwise, they won't even give the Shi family face, even if they change someone. ”

"A woman is a woman, with long hair and short knowledge, and you know what marriage is." The Ninth Master finally couldn't help but reply. Marriage is a good marriage between two surnames, and it is impossible for the emperor to give marriage to his courtiers casually, unless both families have this dignity and ask the emperor to come to him. As far as the historian is now, how can he ask the emperor for marriage.

"I think, it's better for the master to just accept her, and see if Lin Ruhai dares to follow others and do his best." Xia Jingui was determined not to let Lin Daiyu live a comfortable life.

"Shaohun said." Of course, it is impossible for the Ninth Master himself, and the emperor will not agree. However, if you can't do it yourself, your son is always the same age.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, touched Xia Jingui's half-exposed snow-white rabbit, turned over and pressed her under him, "Let's let you do your best for your master first, and then die." ”

The Ninth Master refreshed himself and left Xia Jingui, who was limp into mud, and went to a secret residence. On the surface, it was the outer mansion he had set up for a fan of the Qinglou, but it was actually the place where several of their brothers met.

"Starling, this time the younger brother did an errand, and I confessed the guilt myself." The ninth master hugged his fist and was held by the eighth master.

"The ninth brother has strategized to the extreme. Who would have thought that the Lin family was so cunning, it was really worthy of being a little fox born to an old fox, and he was generally slippery. "The eighth master's face is clear and bright, just looking at the appearance is indeed in line with the reputation of the virtuous king passed on by outsiders, and it has the style of the forest.

"But I also thought of a remedy, my family's Hongxiang is sixteen this year, and he will leave a side fortune for the Lin family, and he doesn't dare to refuse."

The eighth master frowned slightly, "This matter cannot be done by the Emperor Ama, one is willing to marry and the other is willing to marry." ”

"Of course." The ninth master looked proud, the Shi family smashed the matter, they were stupid. Can you still do it yourself, it's impossible.

"However, the four kings and eight princes are all old, and the emperor doesn't value them very much, why does the starling still want to win them over." This is something that the ninth master has not understood very well, like Lin Ruhai, he can understand that the courtiers relied on by the emperor are used by the fourth brother. But are those people that important?

"It's because they are not valued by the emperor, and if they don't come over, what awaits them is to be cut or demoted. After a few generations, everyone will be gone, and their children and grandchildren will be civilians, how will they be willing? In order to be able to keep the title, they can only fight, and there is no way out. What's more, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and among the old in-laws, there are quite a few people who can use it. When the time comes, from the lord to the capable ministers, and even the courtiers who are loyal to the fourth brother all have the same opinion, do you think it will affect the emperor Ama at all, and think that I am the destiny of heaven. ”

At critical moments, it is good to be able to influence a little bit. What's more, if the momentum is really so huge, everyone has to weigh the weight.

The Ninth Master seemed to see a bright future, and rubbed his hands excitedly, "I'll do it to make sure nothing goes wrong." ”

"Don't rush, plan carefully, and strive for perfection. We've all waited so long and don't care about waiting a few more days. used Lin Daiyu to tie up Lin Ruhai, and then won over the four kings and eight dukes, plus some of the original courtiers, the weight was about the same. It would be nice if I could talk about moving my uncle, I could get twice the result with half the effort. As soon as the eighth master thought of this, he felt regretful.

The Ninth Master pursed his lips, "If Lin Ruhai is an old fox, Long Keduo is the ancestor of the fox." ”

The eighth master was silent, and he also knew that before the emperor spoke, Long Keduo would never show any affection, let alone get involved in this matter.

Jia Min received an invitation from the Ninth Master's Mansion and invited her to a banquet to appreciate the peony flowers. Jia Min took this invitation to Lin Ruhai's study, and after a few days, he pushed it away under the pretext of illness.

"Father, do you know what Brother Jiu is going to do, push off this peony flower club, as well as the azalea club, the chrysanthemum flower club, and we always have to go out and walk around." Daiyu doesn't think that if it is pushed away, this matter will not exist. When she learned about this, she didn't go to her mother, but went directly to her father.

"It's good to endure this time, Daddy promises that there will be no peony flower meeting in the future, there will be no azalea flower meeting, and there will be no flower meeting." Lin Ruhai knew that his daughter had been wronged, but at this time, he couldn't say anything.

"Since Daddy said so, the daughter believes Daddy's words." Daiyu's head rested lightly on Lin Ruhai's shoulder, although Lin Ruhai rarely said anything greasy and crooked to her alone, but it was precisely because of him that she could live her life today.

Lin Ruhai has aged a lot since he returned to Jinling, although he is still personable, the wrinkles at the corners of his forehead and eyes and the silver threads in his hair prove how hard he has worked over the years. Daiyu also thought that behind Prince Yong, who was like a workaholic, his father could only be trusted more diligently than him.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu was shocked to realize that her father worked so hard, and she had never been filial to herself. Turning around and confessing to Mama Li, she prepared ejiao and black sesame seeds, red dates, walnut kernels, wolfberries, sugar cubes and rice wine for her.

These are broken into one place, boiled over low heat, and then placed in an ice cellar to solidify and form. The last piece is cut into finger-length pieces, and a small plate is added to the father and mother every day. If she doesn't finish eating, she will not follow, and if she doesn't give up, she will watch them eat.

"It's a shame that you come up with so many thoughts, what you want to do, you only open your mouth, and someone else does it." Jia Min eats Guyuan ointment, although it is not a rare thing, but her daughter makes it with her own hands to be filial to them, and she is extremely useful in her heart.

"Yes, girl's family, don't burn your hair, it's not good if it's hot." Lin Ruhai looked at her daughter with a smile.

"It's really nothing, being told by my father and mother like this, it's like my daughter has done a great thing." Daiyu is also going to find some health pills for Lin Ruhai to take, Prince Yong is a desperate San Lang, she has worked hard early and collapsed, she can't control others, but she doesn't want her father to follow suit.

"My daughter, it's amazing." Lin Ruhai is more and more in love.

"In a few days, I will take a break for my father, let Jingyu come back, and our family will go together to add money for lamp oil to my grandfather." Lin Ruhai lit ever-bright lamps for his grandfather and grandmother, and sent people to add money for sesame oil every year, and occasionally went in person.

"Yes, yes." Daiyu's head is like a chicken pecking rice. The Qixia Temple outside the city of Jinling is built in the middle of the mountain, and the whole mountain is planted with rhododendrons, every year at this time, the mountains are full of blooming, no matter how you are the national color and fragrance, the precious flower species, can not compare with this wanton vigorous vitality.

At this time of year, the most people go to the incense, Lin Ruhai took out the famous sticker to set the room, and ordinary people can only stay at the homestay at the foot of the mountain. Knowing that she could stay for one night, Daiyu was even happiest.

My daughter is excited and can't wait to start packing today. Seeing that his daughter was gone, Jia Min said angrily: "The master also said that we should keep a low profile during this time, why do we have to go out again at this time." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid you're bored, I'm protecting you, it's okay." Lin Ruhai's eyes flickered, and he hugged Jia Min's waist, and Jia Min fell into his arms.

Lin Ruhai couldn't hide the fact that his family went to Qixia Temple, let alone a well-informed person. Jiufu Jin sneered like frost on his face, "People who are sick and can't go out of the door will have the spirit to go to incense at this time." ”

Jiu Ye took the sweet and sour fruit on the plate and ate one, and said unmindably: "Anyway, on the surface, their Lin family will definitely not agree, I said it earlier, but you don't believe it." Anyway, I just need a result, and you can discuss it yourself. ”

After Jiufu Jin left, Jiufu Jin directly overturned the sweet and sour fruit he had eaten to the ground.

"When I am a person, I am a man and a prostitute, and I think that others are just like you."

Jiufu Jin naturally refused to arrange such a thing like the eldest lady of the Shi family, it was a conspiracy, and she disdained it. In this world, in addition to conspiracy and conspiracy, she felt that as long as she opened her mouth in front of people, Jia Min would never be able to refuse herself.

It's okay to say that she is to suppress people with power, anyway, she can accept to suppress people with power, and she can't accept the reputation of sneaking up on bad people.

But the people of the Lin family simply did not show up, which made her conspiracy fail. In Jinling, there are few people who don't give her face, but now she finds out that when people really don't give you face, she has nothing to do.

"Let people tell Sù Hongyun about the movements of the Lin family, what he wants to do, I won't help him, but I won't care either." Hongxiang was not born to her, let alone the eldest son, she didn't stop him from pleasing him, but she didn't want to help him herself.

"Yes." The servant woman bowed her head and took the command.

The Lin family's carriage drove directly into the temple, Daiyu greedily watched the good scenery all the way, jumped out of the car at this time, took a deep breath, and felt that the whole air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers.

"Today I will only walk around the temple, and tomorrow I will take you to climb the mountain, there is a rhododendron tree on the top of the mountain that is more than 100 years old, which is extremely rare." Lin Ruhai was rarely relieved for a day, waved his arms, moved his legs, and went to add sesame oil money first.

"Great, we'll go early tomorrow morning." Daiyu clapped her hands.

When Lin Ruhai came back, he took them to eat vegetarian food, and the journey was safe and sound, and he didn't meet any unexpected people, so Daiyu really felt at ease. It seems that my father's signboard is really useful, and when I go to this town, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods don't dare to come.

"What are you doing eating so fast, and no one is robbing you." Jia Min picked up vegetables for her daughter, and rarely saw her daughter so relaxed and cheerful, and she felt more and more frightened by the Jiuye's mansion that had been asked for some time ago.

"Why didn't anyone rob me, look at Jingyu." Daiyu pointed at Jingyu angrily, he came on a horse, he was already hungry, and he naturally ate fast at this time.

"Then order another table." Lin Ruhai laughed, Jingyu made a grimace at her sister after eating, and chased her out after eating.

"Sister, was there anything wrong with the Shi family some time ago?" Jingyu only went home last night and followed the car into the mountain early this morning. It seems that it has been rumored to have been heard in just one night.

"There's something wrong, but it's been sent away, so you don't have to care." Daiyu picked a leaf and put it to her lips, blew it for a long time without moving, and threw it away hatefully. On the way, I saw a half-grown child carrying firewood and blowing out a tune with leaves, and my heart was itching.

"Look at me." Jingyu also picked a leaf, and didn't blow it when she blushed at first, and was laughed at by Daiyu for a long time, and finally blew, but the voice was extremely indecent, not to mention that it was a tune, it was a disaster.

"You have eaten too many beans, hahaha......" Daiyu's stomach was sour, his younger brother is really a capable person, why didn't he see it before.

"Poof" laughter, which obviously did not belong to them, came from the woods, and Daiyu was immediately alert.

Escorting his brother behind him, "Hurry up." ”

"What to go, I'll see who it is, the sneaky one is definitely not a good person." Where was Jingyu willing to go, but instead pushed Daiyu behind him, going to the woods to find out the peeping person.

"It's me." A familiar figure came out of the woods, embarrassed to touch the tip of his nose. He's obviously coming first, okay? When he was about to come out, he heard that their sister and brother were competing to blow the leaves, such a shameful side, he had never seen her do it, of course he had to appreciate it.

"Brother Hongyun, why is it so coincidental, do you also come to incense?" After speaking, Jing Yu touched his head, no matter how simple he was, he knew that something was wrong.

"It's Uncle Huang who asked me to come over, and I have something to tell Lord Lin."

Jingyu was immediately relieved, it turned out that he had serious official business, and hurriedly said: "My father should be behind, I'll take you there." ”

"In that case, you guys are busy slowly, I'll go back to the wing room to rest first." Daiyu hurriedly saluted and left with the maidservant.

Is this considered lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, Hongyun looked at the back of the girl who went away, his eyes were gentle, and his feelings were deep.

Why did Hongyun come, Daiyu didn't believe the nonsense that Prince Yong asked him to bring a letter. There are many people who can run errands, so why do you have to have a nephew to run for something? It must have been his own idea, definitely.

didn't know that Hongyun had already met Lin Ruhai, and the two talked happily, and even talked about a game. Jing Yu poured tea and water on the side, listening to them play a sharp game, but he didn't understand half a word.

"My son is not as good as his sister, there is only one thing to be desired, that is, loyalty and honesty, what you let him do, he will not be smart to add or subtract, let him do everything meticulously, and what he is not allowed to do, he can hold it and touch it." Lin Ruhai has some regrets about this son, obviously not inheriting the wisdom of the Lin family.

But at the same time, I am also very glad that I am not a self-made smarter. Otherwise, according to the current situation of the Lin family, I don't know how many times I have been provoked by the students of Guozijian and how many disasters have been bumped into.

"Lord Lin is a strict father, and he is always harsh when he looks at his own people, but I think Jingyu is very good like this. Besides, with such a sister, can you still watch him suffer? I had to bring a helper to help. ”

Jing Yu asked curiously, "Who is this helper?" "What helpers does my sister have, how come he doesn't know.

Hongyun coughed slightly twice and glanced at Lin Ruhai, "Naturally, it's your brother-in-law in the future." ”

Lin Ruhai smiled and played the white chess piece to a key position, "Accept." ”
