In the study.

Lin Ruhai just sat down and opened a letter from Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Song lifted the curtain and came in, and sat beside Lin Ruhai with a slight arch of his hand. Lin Ruhai threw the letter into Lin Song's arms.

Lin Song picked up the letter and looked at it, only to see that the first sentence read:

"The old lady wants to kiss and kiss, please give the concubine a marriage."

Lin Song stood up violently, and then looked at the name of Daiyu written below. His voice was like a ballast mixed with ice, "Although Jia Baoyu was born with a jade, he is extremely intelligent. But if you can't do it, you can't do it, you wander in the fat powder pile all day long, where is the good match! ”

"It's up to you to call the shots, what should you do?"

"......" Lin Song was dumbfounded.

There are many ways to do this.

Let go of the wind, which one you like. Other families will retreat. But if Rongguofu is thick-skinned, it is useless to let it go.

A temporary appointment would be possible, but so far he has not seen when it will be selected.

And find an excuse to let Daiyu miss her deceased mother, go up the mountain to pray for blessings, and don't ask about the world.

Concubine Jia's filial piety is commendable, and she is a good match. As soon as she opened her mouth, it was even more troublesome.

"Today, Huan'er asked me about my tone, hoping that Daiyu can go to Rongguo Mansion during the New Year's Festival. I relapsed into Daiyu's old illness and politely declined. It's better to do a full set of dramas, pretending to be sick day by day.

As soon as the New Year's Festival passes, people pretend to be monks and Taoists, pass by by accidentally, read a strange sentence, and say a sentence that is not suitable for early marriage. Leave another thing that can be seen at a glance and hang it in the bedroom to ward off evil spirits. ”

"Yes." Lin Ruhai touched his beard, nodded and said:

"Yu'er was born with a disease before, and it is very good to use this plan to get rid of the name of the sick and weak by the way. Just ......"

Lin Ruhai had a look of doubt in his eyes, and finally couldn't help asking:

"Why is it a monk and a Taoist priest?"

“……”

Lin Song was silent, had he mentioned monks and Taoists before?

"A monk or a Taoist priest is not rare enough. Naturally, it is good for the Buddha and the Tao to come out together. Lin Song said with a smile.

Lin Ruhai still had a look of doubt in his eyes, and asked again:

"What kind of monk and Taoist."

Lin Song has seen the Dream of Red Mansions many times, and immediately said:

"Of course, it's 'the nose is like a hanging gall, the eyebrows are long, and the eyes are like stars with treasure.'" There is no trace of broken mango shoes, and there is a sore on the pickled shoe. 'The monks, and 'one foot high and one foot low, covered in water and mud; If you meet a Taoist priest who asks where his home is, he is in Penglai and is weak in the west. ”

"Where to find such a person? Get out! Lin Ruhai immediately glared angrily and pointed to the door.

Lin Song hurriedly explained: "You don't have to really find them. Find a person who looks good, but has leprosy on his head, pretend to be a monk, and find a lame person to pretend to be a Taoist. I'll write a good song for them to learn to sing, teach them a few strange words, and pretend to mix it up, that's it. ”

Lin Ruhai still had a calm face and asked, "How do you know about them?" ”

"Yes." Lin Song didn't explain to him when he thought of Lin Ruhai's incident, and he didn't explain, he only said:

"It's useful."

As he spoke, he let out the wind, saying that Daiyu's illness was getting worse and worse.

By the time Lin Song returned to his residence, it was already dark.

Lin Ruhai's entourage was lit in front, and Lin Song followed.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Duofu chased after him and said to Lin Song: "Master, you have taken Zhu Yuncheng away." ”

Lin Song went to their room and sat down, and listened to what Duofu said:

"When I arrived, I told Zhou Gongzi what you said. He came to the courtyard, and I had nowhere to hide, so I went into Zhou Gongzi's closet. Do you know what the guy surnamed Zhu said? ”

"Say what?" Lin Song asked.

Duofu said angrily: "After he said that Zhou Gongzi left, you began to say that Zhou Gongzi was not good." Say that you think Zhou Gongzi has nothing to do except for being able to read. said that he was like a dumb person in front of the third master of Huan, you felt that he was embarrassed, and you wanted to drive him away immediately, but it was just because of the master-apprentice relationship. ”

Duofu said this, walking back and forth in the room angrily, and scolded in his mouth: "What is he Zhu Ke?" climbed Zhou Gongzi to come to our house, but talked to Zhou Gongzi like this. Master, I can't wait to come out immediately to drive the surnamed Zhu away, but Zhou Gongzi has his back against the cabinet door, and I can only listen inside! ”

"He knew that these words were not my words." Lin Song didn't care, only picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

Duofu became more and more annoyed, and said again and again:

Zhou Gongzi naturally didn't believe it. But what is Zhu Ko's intentions? Such words corrupt you, can you still keep him? ”

"The time has not yet come." Lin Song was still laughing, and said with a smile:

"People go to high places, and water flows low places. He likes to cling to the powerful and take shortcuts, which is understandable. But while he is clinging to power and nobles, he maliciously suppresses and tries in vain to strangle those who threaten, which is his heart can be punished. Such a person, whoever stands on the same level as him, will suffer, and the best thing to do is to make him lose his qualification to go up forever. ”

"Childe?"

"And he's killing himself, so why bother with him. Bring some gifts, comfort Zhou Li, and let him stay away. By the way, let the news go out and let the world know that Zhu Yuncheng would be at the Lin family because he escorted Zhou Li to Dayou City, and he could stay because of Zhou Li's light. Lin Song said, getting up and smiling.

Next.

Zhu Yuncheng left early, and Lin Song went to the second floor of the teahouse with Zhou Li.

Zhou Li, as always, didn't ask who to wait for. Lin Song ate tea quietly, and he also ate tea quietly.

I don't know how long it took, Su Zhe opened the curtain for Qin Che, Qin Che came in and said with a smile:

"Okay, you Lin Zisong, I've been here for tea a few times, and you've got to know me. I didn't even ask for it, so I asked people to wait for us outside. ”

Lin Song had already stood up and said with a smile: "Fifth Highness, Lin Song is rude. ”

"Sit down." Qin Che walked to the empty seat and sat down, his smile still on his face. Su Zhe sat next to him, and also smiled and said to Lin Song:

"If it's your fault, how could His Highness the Fifth come in?"

Lin Song smiled ashamedly, and still arched his hand: "Fifth Highness is lenient." After speaking, he bowed his hand and bowed deeply.

Qin Che looked at Lin Song with a smile and said with a smile: "Zisong doesn't have to be polite. After speaking, he looked at Zhou Li, who was quietly saluting him on the side, and said with a smile:

"Who is this?"

"When I was in Yangzhou City, I worshipped a teacher. He is the son of my mentor, Zhou Li. ”

"Zhou Li." Qin Che smiled again, looking at Zhou Li's eyes a little playful.

Zhou Li immediately got up to pay respects, and as soon as he bowed, he heard Qin Che say:

"There's no need to be formal, I'm sneaking out to play." While speaking, he looked at Zhou Li carefully.

Zhou Liren is still young, but the smell of rotten Confucianism has already dispersed.

Qin Che was accustomed to seeing old scholars, and when he saw Zhou Li like this, he smiled and said:

"At first glance, he is a good boy full of articles."

"He reads a lot, and he must read books when he encounters them, and he can also be called a book that he does not read, and he does not know any books. He came to my house for half a month, and I don't know how many books are left, which he hasn't read. Lin Song pointed at Zhou Li and said with a smile.

Qin Che and I, too, stared at Zhou Li and looked at it carefully for a while. Smiled and asked.

found the content in each book, Zhou Li's answers were fluent, although he was indeed quiet and quiet. But the talent is already evident in words.

Qin Che couldn't help but glance at Zhou Li a few more times and listen to what Zhou Li said. Congratulations:

"I'll congratulate you on high school first, and when you are in high school, I will invite you to have a drink." As he spoke, he said to Lin Song:

"There is such a good man, and you didn't bring him to see me earlier."

"I'm not good, but unfortunately I don't have wine, so I'll punish myself with three cups of tea." Lin Song picked up the teacup and gently scraped it with the lid before drinking the warm tea. Before he was about to drink the second cup, his hand was held down by Su Zhe, only to hear Su Zhe smile and say:

"You are self-punishment there, you are clearly serving good tea, and you drink more for some reason."

Qin Che also smiled: "If you want to punish yourself, why spoil this good tea." It's better to give it to me. As he spoke, he took the teapot away.

Lin Song had no choice but to give up.

After introducing Zhou Li to the five princes, he began to laugh and tell some interesting things. Never said anything about the matter with Concubine Jia and the Emperor.

On the contrary, Qin Che wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally Su Zhe congratulated with a smile:

"I heard that the garden of Jiafu Province has been completed, and Concubine Jia is also about to save relatives. Let me congratulate Brother Lin first. ”

"Brother Mingde, congratulations are wrong." A cold glint flashed in Lin Song's dark eyes. It is good to cook oil with fire and flowers, but the Lin family can't afford this kind of glory.

"My grandmother loves my sister and brother, but in the end, it is the glory of his family, and our sister and brother are outsiders after all."

"The two of you are about to kiss each other, and there are outsiders there?" Qin Che laughed.

Lin Song also laughed, sighed after laughing twice, and said in a muffled voice: "Kiss and kiss? My sister has been sick day by day since the beginning of winter, and we just hope that winter will pass soon. ”

"Are you really sick that badly?" Qin Che was shocked when he heard this.

Lin Song sighed again and said, "She is congenitally weak, and the disease brought by the womb will take medicine since she can eat." I don't know what happened this year, she was extraordinarily heavy, she was already weak, and now she was even more ......" Lin Song said, becoming more and more depressed, and his eyes were stained with tears.
