CHAPTER XVIII
But it is said that Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg of Rongguo Mansion, can be said to have had a hard time in the past two years, and there is only one reason, the legendary child of someone else's family - Lin Xuanyu, a cousin with super good grades and outstanding talents.
Originally, Jia Baoyu's small life was very comfortable, protected by Jia's mother, loved by Mrs. Wang, and there was a more unsuccessful Jia Bi opposite, surrounded by a group of sisters and sisters who cared about him, the only trouble was that occasionally he Lao Tzu wanted to draw his endorsement, but with the protection of the old lady of Jiafu, and Mrs. Wang's pillow wind and tears, Jia Zheng, who was looking at his son's study and progress, could only be helpless.
However, when his aunt in Yangzhou gave birth to a son, everything changed.
The first few years were fine, but when this cousin began to study, things suddenly took a sharp turn, Jia Baoyu still remembers that the family sat together happily and laughed, and the mandarin duck read Jia Min's letter to Jia's mother on the side, most of the letters said about Xuanyu Daiyu, how clever and lovely Daiyu was, how smart Xuanyu was, how he had finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and how Mr. praised him, he was a top talent. Hearing Jia Mule's mouth, Mrs. Wang twisted the handkerchief and caught fire in her heart, but unfortunately Baoyu at that time didn't realize that there was anything wrong at all, but she lamented in her heart that it was just a beetle.
If Jia Baoyu could go back to the past, he would definitely wake up this fool who didn't have the slightest sense of crisis, and then he didn't die.
So the next day, Meimei slept a little, happily enjoyed the service of the beautiful maid, and then asked for peace, and successfully skipped class to Jia's mother because she was unwell, and Jia Baoyu, who finished the above basic daily life, hid in the house, laughed with the beautiful sisters without pressure, and then, he was blocked by his son Jia Zheng on the spot~
Jia Baoyu, who was stealing a bite of rouge:
Jia Zhengtie's face was blue, looking at the cowering son in front of him, who was said to be unwell, and thought of the well-behaved, sensible and serious son of his sister's family, he only felt sadness coming from it, if Zhu'er was still there, how could he expect this unsuccessful son, the more he thought about it, the more sad Jia Zheng picked up the feather duster on the side, and chased Jia Baoyu to fight.
Jia Zheng scolded while beating back: "Son! Son! Your cousin Lin is younger than you, and now he has finished studying four books, not only is he talented, but what is even more rare is that he is still diligent, if you have half of your cousin Lin's income, I can rest in peace! ”
Although Jia's mother came to the rescue in time, Jia Baoyu was still beaten and couldn't get out of bed for several days, but this is not the end.
The most terrifying thing is that his son Jia Zheng seems to have turned on a switch, and he is very concerned about Jia Baoyu's studies, and he has to come to spot check from time to time, and when he finds that he is lazy, he will be beaten up, and he will be compared with Lin Xuanyu all the time.
The legendary cousin Lin is not only smart since he was a child, but he is also very diligent, and he simply does not let Jia Baoyu, a little expert who skips class, live well.
"Your cousin Lin was praised by Mr. again this month"
"Your cousin Lin has written a new strategy"
"Your cousin Lin gets up early every day to warm up books"
"Your Cousin Lin", "Your Cousin Lin", "Your Cousin Lin" From then on, this sentence simply became Baoyu's nightmare.
And Jia Huan, who was once the only one who could be a shield, didn't know why, suddenly became well-behaved, no longer causing trouble, and not like before to describe obscenity, although about talent, reading is still not very good, but the attitude is unusually correct, seize a qiē time to read, so Jia Zheng is very relieved, so as a control group, Jia Baoyu, who is lazy and slippery, is even more prominent.
As for his old lady, Mrs. Wang, although she will also stop Jia Zheng and beat him, she will always nag in his ear: Baoyu, you have to study hard and make progress! Baoyu, you have to go to school hard! Baoyu, you must surpass Cousin Lin! Baoyu Jia Baoyu was about to collapse by her mother's thoughts, and under several blows, Jia Baoyu hadn't happily skipped class for a long time.
And now, Jia Baoyu's childhood nightmare, Cousin Lin finally came to Rongguo Mansion and was about to face him face to face, and even in the future, the two may be together to be tested by his Lao Tzu
Jia Baoyu: Even if there is a sister, I can't be happy at all!
No matter how entangled Jia Baoyu was, and no matter how rare he didn't slip away immediately after class, and didn't want to go back to the house, before dark, Jia Baoyu still returned to Rongguo Mansion nervously, and was taken to the main courtyard where Jia's mother was, and saw his aunt Jia Min, cousin Lin Xuanyu and cousin Lin Daiyu.
Previously, everyone was eating dinner, and Jia's mother beckoned Jia Min to sit beside her, pointed to the dishes in front of her and said: "It's all what you used to love to eat, and you made it specially, and after leaving for so long, come and try this hometown food, Daiyu Xuanyu, you also taste it, your own family, don't be polite." ”
When Jia Min heard this, she was quite moved, and helped Jia's mother to sit, and Daiyu and Xuanyu also sat beside her.
Originally, Jia Min wanted Xuanyu to go to his uncle's table, but Jia's mother stopped him: "Xuanyu is only a little bigger, and you have a lot to do, so I don't allow my wife and grandson to spend more time." ”
Jia Min was helpless, so Xuanyu also sat with her sister.
To tell the truth, the meals in Jiafu are very rich, and they are all precious and rare things, even some simple vegetarian dishes are all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, abalone and shark fin, but unfortunately they do not have an appetite for Xuanyu. Xuanyu's appetite is light, but the food in Jiafu is mostly big fish and meat, full of oil and water, but I just ate a few that look lighter.
On the contrary, Lin Daiyu is full of appetite, the food in Jiafu is simply heaven for Lin Daiyu, when she was in the Lin family in the past, she paid more attention to health, so although there is no limit to the amount of Daiyu's rice, it is also a combination of meat and vegetables, and the rest of the Lin family has a light taste, it turns out that she is used to eating but does not feel anything, and now that she has eaten the food of Jiafu, Lin Daiyu feels that she has finally found true love~ Although it is heavy and meaty, it is really delicious.
No one spoke at the table, and Lin Daiyu only buried her head in hardship, so Lin Xuanyu had to kick her under the table several times, kneeling and begging for restraint, it was the first time to be a guest at a foreign house, at least don't expose the fact that you are a rice bucket on the first day!
With Xuanyu's reminder, Daiyu finally maintained her image, only ate three small bowls of rice, and when she saw that everyone had finished eating, she reluctantly gave up.
Lin Daiyu: Actually, I didn't eat enough at all.
However, she still attracted the attention of others, and Mrs. Wang did not speak, but covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and deliberately glanced at Jia Min in surprise.
Jia Min was busy playing the round: "This kid has always had a good appetite, and he didn't eat anything along the way"
Jia Mu didn't care, and smiled happily: "It's good to have a good appetite!" It shows that things fit Daiyu's appetite, kiss us, worthy of being my grandson, I had a good appetite when I was young, Daiyu is like me! Daiyu wants to eat some more, this rock sugar elbow stew is good, rotten and fragrant. Saying that, he commanded the mandarin duck, "Quickly bring it to Lin Yatou." ”
Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Min, saw her nodding, took it with a smile, and ate again. Seeing that Daiyu was eating well, Jia's mother was even happier and said yes again and again.
After Daiyu ate, the meal was withdrawn, and the maids brought tea, and at this time, only to hear the maid say: "Baoyu is here." ”
Daiyu looked up and saw a red envelope dressed like Zhang Fatman walking in, but unlike Zhang Yu'an, who was round and round, although this person was dressed up rich and powerful, he was not tacky at all, but he was more lined with sideburns like a knife, and his eyebrows were like ink paintings, so he was a good son.
However, at this time, Daiyu couldn't care about regrets, why Xiao Xianrou was different from the eight-foot-tall Yingwuzi in her imagination, she only felt that this person was very kind, as if she had seen it, and most importantly, her hands and hands were suddenly itchy, and she wanted to beat this person into a pig's head * in her heart, but outside of this, there was a kind atmosphere on this person, and there was a contradiction.
Lin Daiyu was bewildered by Jia Baoyu's contradictory temperament.
And on Jia Baoyu's side, as soon as Jia Baoyu, who finally decided to face the shadow of his childhood after doing psychological construction, entered the door, he first noticed two teenagers and girls with similar looks on the seat, obviously he had never seen them, but Jia Baoyu also felt that these two people were kind-faced, as if they had seen them in their previous lives, but
The young man should be Cousin Lin, but Baoyu didn't see the hatred of the shadow of the same year at all, he only felt kind, and a sense of joy rose in his heart. Goodbye to that girl, curled Tingting, weak and weak, but for some reason, Jia Baoyu felt a palpitation in her heart, only to feel a trembling, her heart seemed to be held tightly, out of breath, and then spread from the bottom of her heart to the whole body, and every place began to ache faintly.
This peculiar feeling is what the book says, love at first sight?!
