Chapter 42: The "Beauty Lamp" (Part I)
Let's say that Han Chengze returned to his home, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't dare to believe it after all. I knocked twice on the table, and my eyes saw a painting hanging in the study, on which a cluster of blooming chrysanthemums was painted, and a poem was accomplished. Han Chengze's eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't recognize it, there were always people who recognized it.
came up with an idea, Han Chengze couldn't stay for a moment, so he dodged and walked out. Holding an inkstone only got Qingquan's instructions, he sent tea for his second master, and when he saw Han Chengze walking out, he hurriedly said: "Where is the second master, Sister Qingquan has made tea for you." ”
Han Chengze turned around and smiled: "Just drink it cheaper for the two of you." If the old lady asked me, she would say that I remembered a few words from the book and went to my uncle's house to ask for advice. As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the inkstone to respond, and hurried away. Holding the teacup with a bitter face, he looked at Han Chengze's back that almost disappeared in the blink of an eye, shook his head and said: "What's the matter with the second master today, I didn't have the heart to rush to take the court exam, I don't know how much knowledge I have to do." Tian Mo came from the side corridor, and also looked at it, and smiled when he heard him say this: "If it is for the sake of learning, have you ever seen the second master in such a hurry?" I see, there must be something of great interest. ”
All the way to the Lin Mansion, Han Chengze was a little slower, and only asked Lin Ruhai about Daiyu. Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing and said, "You came in such a hurry, you actually wanted to find your cousin?" In vain, I thought that you might be unfavorable in the scientific examination, and came to me to ask for advice. ”
Lin Ruhai was as careful as a hair, and he had already seen a little bit of Han Chengze's thoughts, and he had also mentioned the matter of going to Qihang Academy. Han Chengze smiled cheekily and said, "Uncle naturally loves me, but now I have no one to help me except my cousin." As he spoke, he came up and pulled Lin Ruhai's sleeve, just twisting it.
Lin Ruhai knew that although Han Chengze had a little childlike temperament on weekdays, he was not a child who didn't know the importance of it, so he said: "Okay, I'll take you there, but you can care about it, don't say those outside words, I'm afraid that your cousin will listen to it." ”
Seeing that Lin Ruhai was relieved, Han Chengze was immediately happy and hurriedly agreed. Lin Ruhai taught the girl to go to the back house first and tell Daiyu that she would take Han Chengze to the flower hall here. After a while, I saw Lin Daiyu wearing a goose yellow rhombic flower collared long coat, with a light red folded flower skirt underneath, and two little girls came with Nana.
came in and greeted each other, Han Chengze said: "Cousin, don't blame me for disturbing, it's really this matter, only my cousin can help me." As he spoke, he left his seat and solemnly saluted Daiyu. Daiyu was surprised for a while, although she hadn't seen Han Chengze a few times, but the relatives of the two mansions knew his temperament to some extent, so she couldn't help but glance at her father first, then took a handkerchief to cover her lips and smiled: "This son is so polite, if you have something to say, I know it, I don't hide it from you." ”
Han Chengze got the right words, and suddenly he was a little embarrassed, and after a little thought, he said: "My cousin has been to the party of the little lord of the Zhongshun Palace, I wonder if my cousin has ever seen the princess of the dynasty?" ”
Hearing this, not only Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment, but Lin Ruhai was also quite surprised, this hurried to come to inquire about the princess? Han Chengze knew that as soon as he said this, he would be surprised, and he hurriedly said: "This is not my own thoughts, but today's things are too strange." As he spoke, he told Lin Ruhai and his daughter that he saw Ji Di that day, and he saw him again in Beijing's palace today, knowing that she was a woman, etc.
Lin Ruhai frowned, and suddenly said to Han Chengze: "I was stirred up by you today, and I almost forgot about the big thing, but fortunately, you just spoke and taught me to remember." You also want to ask your cousin, so let's talk about it here, I'm going to go out again. Han Chengze was stunned, and Lin Ruhai left.
Daiyu was still sitting firmly drinking tea, and when she saw Han Chengze looking stunned, she smiled and said, "Qingzhi, just add a snack for Second Master Han, I didn't see him open his mouth and wait." Qing Zhi responded when she heard this, and really took a handkerchief and held a snack to send it to Han Chengze's mouth, Han Chengze came to his senses, his face turned red by two points, and he hurriedly waved his hand and begged for mercy: "Cousin, don't laugh at me, I just saw that my uncle was in a hurry, so I was a little out of shape, please take care of me, cousin." “
Daiyu's girls are used to following her, but now that Lin Ruhai is not there, she is more lively, and Han Chengze also knows the roots, so when she saw that he was being tricked, they all laughed together. Daiyu herself laughed, seeing that Han Chengze's face was red, Fang taught the girls to withdraw a little, and said softly with a smile: "I'll just say, it's good to be a person, how can you be stupid, it turns out that it's a matter of concern." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said: "Qingzhi is like this, you already think it's inappropriate, is it possible to change the princess today, and the word respect will not be ignored?" ”
Han Chengze didn't want Daiyu to come to such a conclusion, he didn't even elaborate on what Ji Di described. After thinking about it in his heart, he was a little unwilling, so he refuted: "It's not as my cousin thought, the little county lord was like this before, and there is the help of the prince of Beijing, so I think it's like this." Daiyu swept her eyes and sneered: "It's more and more unreasonable, not to mention that no matter what the rules are in the palace of Zhongshun, just rely on the help of the prince of Beijing, but if you know something, you can't rest assured?" ”
When Han Chengze heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, King Beijing and today's saints, his uncle naturally knows a lot about humerus, but he never thought that his uncle actually said that he knew with his cousin, isn't he afraid that he will make a mistake in speaking? Daiyu only glanced at him, knew his thoughts, slowly held up the teacup, took a sip, and raised his eyes and said: "Since you came to ask me, don't you know these things first?" How to pour this picture. ”
Han Chengze was already smart, and he had some shocking practices, but he only understood this after thinking about it for a while, and nodded in response: "Cousin said very much, I think narrowly." Uncle only has one cousin under his knees, and he is no better than ordinary people, so he should know more. When Daiyu heard what he said, she was round for her, only smiled lightly and did not speak.
Han Chengze didn't see Lin Ruhai outside, naturally Daiyu didn't twist here, and according to Daiyu's words, his cousin was not just a lady who only knew how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I can't help but think of when I befriended Jia Lian at that time, a shrewd person like Wang Xifeng also felt that Daiyu was tall, and she had a knife mouth to talk about Baoyu, and she was a delicate "beauty lamp", so she had to put it on the table and look at it, and it should not be used. I don't want to look at it all, this cousin is really high, and the idlers refuse to pay attention to it, just look at it like a mirror in their hearts, but they love to say it depending on the mood.
