It happened that Lin Zhixiao's family stayed in Suzhou and did not return to Kyoto for the New Year, Jia Zheng once instructed their family to take Lin Daiyu back, and came to say hello to Daiyu after the year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lin Daiyu said that she planned to leave on February 19, so early in the morning, Lin Zhixiao's family and several servants from Rongguofu came to Lin's house. Lin Mo took more than a dozen servants from the housekeeper to accompany the guards. When I got out of Suzhou City, I met two or three carriages, and in the front carriage was an old sister-in-law, which was the vehicle that Miaoyu and her master were riding. The two teams formed a place and marched towards Kyoto.
After the New Year, people come and go everywhere, and it is very lively. Along the way, there is no need to repeat the fatigue of carriages, horses, food and accommodation, and everyone knows how to stay overnight, and only after a month, they set foot in the boundary of Kyoto.
That night, I rested at the post station for a night, and in the early morning of the next day, Lin Zhixiao's family sent a small servant to Rongguo Mansion to report the news, saying: "Miss Lin and Young Master Lin are here, and they will arrive in the evening." ”
When the little guy delivered the news, it was just noon. Wang Xifeng got the news first, and hurriedly went to find Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang was not in her room, and went to Jia's mother to wait for lunch with Mrs. Xing, and only Baoyu was also there.
In Jia's mother's room, the little girls were shuttling back and forth to set up dinner, and as soon as Wang Xifeng said the words of the little girl, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but blurt out: "Where did the 'Young Master Lin' come from, isn't the Lin family already ......" The half of the sentence she didn't say was the sentence "The man of the Lin family is dead".
Mother Jia glanced at her, then looked at Wang Xifeng, and said, "It's the kid of the Lin family who passed under the name of my uncle, right?" I remember in a trance that Lin Yatou wrote a letter a year ago to mention it, called Lin or something. ”
Wang Xifeng also vaguely remembered this time, but in order to build a garden to raise funds everywhere, coupled with the trivial daily life everywhere, she was already anxious, and when she heard Jia's mother's words, she smiled and said: "With what he is doing, I will know in the evening." I probably sent Sister Lin over, and when the time comes, let's have a good look. ”
Mother Jia smiled, watched the girls set up the meal, and asked the two ladies Xing and Wang to go back to eat. As soon as Baoyu heard that there were other people who came with Lin Daiyu, she was already uncomfortable, and she was worried about Lin Daiyu's news, and as soon as the two wives of Xing and Wang left, she said to Wang Xifeng: "Good sister-in-law, Sister Lin has sent some letters, tell me!" ”
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "What other letter can there be, but the hour is coming, what do you want to ask, just wait for your sister Lin to arrive, go and ask her in person?" ”
Jia Baoyu sighed and said, "Although I have the heart to ask her, she may not be willing to say." After a month's ride, my sister is weak and has to rest for a few days. Furthermore, wouldn't it be more thoughtful to look at it from the eyes of others? ”
Wang Xifeng said: "That is the case, after serving the old ancestor later, I will hand over that little guy to you, and you will personally judge him, okay?" ”
Baoyu was overjoyed, and said: "You don't need to interrogate him, just ask him how Sister Lin lived along the way, the diet is still suitable, and ask the doctor if he has asked for medicine, that is." ”
Wang Xifeng smiled and said to Jia's mother: "Listen to the ancestor, it can be seen that Baoyu is a person who knows cold and hot, and his heart is only in his sister Lin. ”
Jia Mu said with a smile: "The two of them have been used to playing together since childhood, and naturally they are better than other feelings, not only Baoyu, but I haven't seen Lin Yatou these days, and I am also worried about panic." ”
Wang Xifeng smiled and nodded: "Yes, not only does the ancestor like it, but I also like it when I see it." Among the sisters, Lin Yatou, who is the most aunt, speaks the most fluently and does not take care of it at all. ”
Jia Mu nodded and said, "If you want to talk about a few girls, Baochai's girl is more stable among the sisters." Wang Xifeng just nodded, Xue Baochai was also her aunt and cousin, Mother Jia praised Xue Baochai, she naturally had nothing to say.
When Baoyu heard Mother Jia praise Xue Baochai, he felt even more uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "Sister Lin is still young!" Sister Bao is two years older than me, three or four years older than Sister Lin, so it is naturally different. I don't believe the old lady, don't you look at the second sister, isn't she also very stable? ”
Mother Jia heard Baoyu mention Yingchun, so she smiled and said: "Although Yingchun's girl is good, but her personality is a little cowardly, and she doesn't care about things like that......" said and sighed, and said to Wang Xifeng: "If you are your brother and sister-in-law, you must also take care of the second sister. Wang Xifeng responded and said a few jokes to make Jia's mother happy. Jia Baoyu was worried about asking the little guy for questioning, so he hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of food, asked Wang Xifeng where the little guy lived, and went over.
It is said that Lin Daiyu and her party entered Kyoto, and Miaoyu's master took her to various temples and nunnery to place orders, so she resigned from Lin Daiyu. After the separation, Lin Zhixiao led the carriage and introduced some of Kyoto's products and scenery to Lin Mo, while hurrying away, and unconsciously came to Ningrong Street.
This street is named because the east half of the street is located Ning Guofu, and the west half of the street is where Rong Guofu lives. The places where the servants lived in the middle had been demolished, and they were busy with their work. There were already a few people waiting at the entrance of the street, and when they saw Lin Zhixiao following behind a young man, leading a team of carriages over, he hurriedly sent a message inside: "Miss Lin is here, and the son of the Lin family is also here." ”
So the two vermilion lacquer doors were hurriedly opened (because they had to give Lin Ruhai face), and Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu came out with their little servants. Jia Baoyu was okay, he only glanced at Lin Mo, who was born, and said in his heart, "This Lin family, which has passed under the name of my uncle, looks like a talent", so he hurriedly slipped his eyes to the carriage behind him and looked for Lin Daiyu's carriage.
As soon as Jia Lian heard about "the son of the Lin family", he had a lot of eyes, and then he saw that he was dressed in plain clothes, with clear eyebrows and a strong bookish atmosphere, who is Lin Mo if he is not him? Suddenly, when the "enemies" saw each other, their eyes were extremely red, and they couldn't wait to tear off Lin Molai. His face was not good at the moment, and he reluctantly smiled: "Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." In the past, I didn't want us to become relatives. ”
Lin Mo smiled on his face, and bowed back: "Cousin Jia, it's been a long time. This time we got together, and there were some questions in the books that I wanted to discuss with my brother, and if I had time, I would like to give me advice. ”
Jia Lian's smirk suddenly couldn't hold it. Jia Baoyu, who was next to him, had already rubbed beside Lin Daiyu's carriage like a wandering spirit, and he didn't know what he said inside, so he saw him smiling brightly and letting the little servant drive the carriage into the house. In desperation, Jia Lian had to get out of the way, but he was secretly calculating in his heart how to make a fool of Lin Mo when he was in Kyoto.
