Jia Chen smiled:

"It's a tomato, which is a tomato."

Lin Daiyu was surprised:

"It turns out that tomatoes are still edible, and I used to think that it was just a bonsai for appreciation."

In this era, tomatoes were not meant to be eaten, but to be seen, and people generally planted them as ornamental plants in nurseries or flower pots.

Jia Chen handed a pair of chopsticks to Lin Daiyu and said with a smile: "Try it, is it delicious?" ”

If it was someone else, Lin Daiyu would never dare to taste the fruits in the bonsai, but she now trusts Jia Chen very much, and without hesitation, she took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tomato, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it.

Jia Chen asked softly, "How does it taste?" ”

Lin Daiyu bowed slightly, full of praise:

"The taste is sweet and sour, salty and pleasant, very refreshing, Brother Chen, it turns out that you are not only both civil and military, but also so good at cooking!"

"If it's delicious, you can eat more." Jia Chen smiled: "In the future, I will cook you every meal differently." ”

"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Lin Daiyu smiled comfortably, and her eyebrows, which had been slightly sad, also stretched, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her smile was like a flower.

At this moment, she felt as if she was back at home in Yangzhou City, comfortable, unrestrained, and steady.

Once upon a time, my father sat across from him like this, smiling as he watched himself eat.

It's just that the person sitting opposite now is Brother Chen.

In a trance, the figures of his father and eldest brother Chen overlapped.

Lin Daiyu's eyes showed a melancholy look, homesickness and gratitude were intertwined, lingering feelings, and her heart fluctuated.

Jia Chen served her half a bowl of rice and a bowl of egg drop soup, and seeing that she was in a daze, he smiled:

"Is Sister Lin thinking about something? Eat it. ”

Lin Daiyu came back to her senses at this time, and said with a warm smile:

"Okay, Brother Chen, let's eat together."

"Hmm!" Jia Chen picked up the rice and sat face to face with Lin Daiyu to eat together.

During the meal, neither of them spoke, only the crisp sound of chopsticks and soup spoons touching the porcelain bowl and the bottom of the plate, and the slight sound of chewing and swallowing.

Although the sound is very monotonous, there is no silk and bamboo orchestra to help the fun, but because it is eaten with the person you love, no matter how monotonous the sound is, it is like a natural sound.

Although the dish is just a simple plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, because they are eating it with their close people, both of them feel that it is more delicious than the delicacies, and the taste is endless.

After eating and drinking, Lin Daiyu rubbed her slightly bulging belly and asked:

"Brother Chen, when the Rongfu holds a banquet in the future, can't I eat together at the table?"

Jia Chen smiled:

"If it's all dining together, you can eat with them, for example, on the eighth day of the next lunar month, Brother Rong of Dongfu will marry a wife, and all the relatives of Rongfu will go to the mourning ceremony and eat Xi Gaole, you can go with them. When the time comes, I'll go too. ”

When Lin Daiyu heard that Jia Chen was also going, she felt a lot more relieved.

It has been more than half an hour since she left the Rong Mansion, Lin Daiyu didn't dare to stay for a long time, and said reluctantly:

"Brother Chen, I have to go back, if I go back late, Zijuan, Snow Goose and Chunxian should be in a hurry."

"Okay, I'll send you back." Jia Chen advised:

"Your maid Chunxian should be Mrs. Wang's minions planted by your side, you don't want to eat all the food and drink she brought you, but you have to pretend to eat it, and secretly throw it out when she is not paying attention, lest she and Mrs. Wang find out, and make another plan and change other methods to harm you."

Lin Daiyu was taken aback, and said astringently:

"It turns out that Chunxian is the shadow placed by my second aunt, fortunately you reminded me, otherwise, I would still be kept in the dark. Then the purple cuckoo shouldn't hurt me, right? ”

Jia Chen recalled Zijuan's meticulous care of Lin Daiyu in the original book, and analyzed:

"Zijuan is the maid that the old lady gave you, although the old lady is your grandmother, it shouldn't hurt you.

But the wealth is moving, and now the Rong Mansion is empty, and you can't make ends meet, in order to calculate your Lin family's property, the old lady may not force Zijuan to attack you.

It is indispensable to guard against others, and you must also be on guard against her. ”

Lin Daiyu sighed abruptly:

"It's really three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, the sword, the frost and the sword are strictly pressing, if even my grandmother has to calculate me, then what is the difference between this world and the underworld? It's all black-hearted and glamoury. Even if there is a beautiful scenery in the world, it will not come in the next life. ”

Jia Chen persuaded:

"Taste the fireworks in the world slowly, and watch everything for a long time. The world is impermanent, as colorful as fireworks, but it is fleeting, so there is no need to deliberately pursue, no matter how good or bad things in the world are, as long as they go with the flow, they are just a kind of flavor of life.

Don't punish yourself for the mistakes of others, don't doubt your own life, and don't compare the happiness of others. The heart is like a flower and tree, born to the sun, if you are in full bloom, the breeze will come. ”

Lin Daiyu chewed Jia Chen's words repeatedly, only feeling that there was a sense of truth inside, and there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment and enlightenment.

"A good sentence 'the heart is like a flower and tree, born to the sun', the heart has half an acre of flower fields, hidden in the secular world, as long as you have a clear conscience, feel comfortable, and live your own life, why suffer from gains and losses, complaining about the sky?

Brother Chen's words made me feel enlightened, and my mouth suddenly opened. ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Lin Daiyu was worried that she would leave the house for too long, which would arouse suspicion.

So, Jia Chen carried her over the wall and sent her back to the Rong Mansion.

In the days to come, in order to prevent Chunxian and Zijuan around Lin Daiyu from becoming suspicious, Jia Chen did not take Lin Daiyu out of the house again, but climbed over the wall on time every day to deliver food to her.

The relationship between the two people is getting deeper and deeper, and the conversation is becoming more and more casual, without so much red tape and politeness.

Sunrise and sunset, the stars shift, March ends with the withering of peach blossoms, and then comes to the April day of Fangfei in the world.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the fourth month, that is, the day when Jia Rong married Qin Keqing.

Jia Chen got up early in the morning, fried eight eggs, ate six by himself, and gave the remaining two to Lin Daiyu to eat.

His strength is increasing day by day, and the amount of food he is eating is also increasing.

If an adult man eats six eggs for breakfast, it is not unusual, but Jia Chen is only a nine-year-old child, but he has such a large amount of food, if others know, I am afraid that he will wonder if he is the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie?

After returning home and changing into a brand-new white coarse cloth jacket and a long sword hanging from his waist, Jia Chen walked towards Ning Guofu.

Calculate the days, and share the profits from the sale of "Disciple Rules" with Jia Zhen.

Of course, Jia Chen knew that Jia Zhen didn't want to give him half of his son.

Jia Zhen invited him to Ningguo Mansion to participate in the faint ceremony today, but in fact, he set up a Hongmen banquet for him.

It is estimated that there are already several assassins in Ning Guo's mansion, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.

But Jia Chen knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and he preferred to go to the tiger mountains, and now he was becoming more and more proficient in the Wudang Seven Star Sword, and it was not a problem to deal with a few assassins.

As long as Jia Zhen dares to send someone to kill him today, he will definitely let Jia Zhen know why the flowers are so red!
