The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Chapter 139

Qingwen is indeed a pity, but there are only a few people in the Lin family who know about her. Daiyu kept saying "it's a pity" for a few days, and even cried secretly in the dead of night. Wenqin was a little puzzled and asked Xueyan: " Is the girl and that one named Qingwen very good? I haven’t heard what she said before.” Xueyan said: “It’s very good somewhere, the girl is like this, she usually cries when she sees flowers and running water, at least she is with Qing Wen knew this scene, such a beautiful person, who ended up like this, who would not cry!"

Zijuan was feeling guilty about telling Daiyu this, so she hurried to persuade her. Daiyu said with red eyes, "I'm not crying. I was thinking, we people can't escape a fate. God is willing to Hello, whatever is fine, if it doesn't want to, who can get away with it?"

Zijuan was almost bypassed by her, and hurriedly said: "Young lady said this, if you want me to be fair, I'm sorry, sir." That's for the girl's life, even the "true man" would dare to carry it Master, even Rong Jia is a person who dares to risk his life for a girl.Regardless of whether he is doing it for righteousness or just for girls, he is considered a very responsible and good boy.Zijuan is stubborn, and at first he played well with Xiren in Jiamu's room.It's just that since I knew that Xiren had such entanglements with Baoyu, I didn't like her very much.Even now I look down on Baoyu, feel that he is not good enough for a girl anyway, and still feel very responsive to Xiren. Thinking of Qingwen, she even thought to herself: "Madam thinks she is smart, saying Qingwen is a vixen, and she refuses to give her a way out, but she doesn't know that the real vixen hides a virtuous and generous mask! When Baoyu is cleaned up, she may have to say that Qingwen killed her. It's just a pity for Qingwen."

Lin Mo had finally been busy for a while, and rushed over to see her sister, and also wanted to see if Daiyu had started to prepare the dowry, but she saw that she was sadly drawing a picture of a beautiful woman with shaved shoulders, a water snake waist, and a purple hairpin cloth skirt. Looking at his face, he has a somewhat aggressive posture, and he is sitting by the water with a smile, reaching out to pick the lotus in the pond.He looked at it for a while, and said: "This girl looks a bit like you."

Daiyu said: "My brother compares me to a girl."

"This is really a girl. It really is my fault. I shouldn't compare her to you." Lin Mo smiled, "Why are you crying for this girl?" Daiyu wiped her tears and said, "I didn't have any friendship with her, She is arrogant, and no one looks down on her. I just think that she was such an arrogant person in the past, and she is a little sad now that she has ended up like this." Then she told about Qingwen.

Lin Mo dried up the last few strokes of ink on the painting, and then said: "That's the way it is. There are too many beauties. If she is a rich lady, her parents will hold her, and it's okay to be pampered. If she is a prince and noble daughter, she should be arrogant. So what? On the next level, the daughter of the Son of Heaven, the golden branch and jade leaf, is looked down upon by no one, and no one else dares to say a word about her. But she is a girl. It’s not me who says, she can do whatever she wants. With this appearance and such a temper, it's no wonder that the master doesn't like her. Even if you tell me to see a girl in the family acting like a young lady, I will get angry."

Daiyu knew that he had a stubborn temper, and she didn't like to see anyone's face, let alone a servant girl's face, so she said: "Is she in our house worse than over there?"

Lin Mo said: "Don't worry about someone in my family saying that she is entangled with the men—but she can't be a big girl."

Daiyu grabbed the drawing paper and rubbed it abruptly.

"Only one person, what will happen to her future is half decided by God and half by myself." Lin Mo's smile gradually deepened, "Being a girl, some are aunts, some are housekeepers, and some go out on their own like Wen Ge Her kind is the most useless to talk about, it's one thing to have a master like Jia Er, but it's another thing for her own temperament to offend people easily."

Daiyu asked: "Could it be that because she is prone to villains like this, she has to restrain herself for villains?"

Lin Mo pursed her lips, looked at the younger sister who was becoming more and more sane, and smiled suddenly: "Yes, because she didn't have a good pregnancy, so she has to hold back when she has a villain."

Daiyu sneered: "Why don't you see my brother restraining himself from King Beijing?"

Lin Mo raised his head and thought for a while, before slowly saying: "Probably...he was a villain from the very beginning, and he didn't put on a kind face, so he was disgusting."

Daiyu was a little surprised.She is an ignorant girl in the boudoir, and she also knows the reputation of Prince Jing's personable manners. Many people say that he is as gentle as jade and worthy of the word "Jia Gongzi". , I also understand that this prince and empress are mostly his own little emotions, not the facial makeup on his face, but he can't connect with the word "villain".He said, "Anyway, I don't understand brother."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, even if your brother becomes a villain one day, he won't hurt you."

Daiyu said: "Why am I afraid that you will harm me? There is nothing in this world that my brother doesn't have. I can have it. I haven't seen my brother ask for anything." Since Lin Mo came, many people were worried about him. It belonged to Turin's family, and only Daiyu believed in him from the beginning to the end. Firstly, she didn't care about Wanguan's family's wealth. She only wanted to live in her own home to feel at ease. Not to mention whether he, a number one scholar, would not want his reputation for the sake of the Lin family's wealth, but it's hard to say whether he can see the inheritance left by Lin Hai.

"I really want a lot of things." Lin Mo compared this painting again, "Shall I frame it for you?"

"Forget it." Daiyu said, "I was thinking of burning it as a souvenir. After hearing what you said, I don't know whether Qingwen is pitiful or she really did it herself. I can't laugh or cry. That's all. Zijuan played with her since she was a child, so let her keep this painting in mind."

Lin Mo said: "Don't take it too seriously, you are my sister after all, not that girl, you should be more proud, otherwise people will say that I don't know how to teach my sister, and make you lose the spirit of a big family .”

Daiyu shook her hand and didn't say much.Lin Mo wanted to tell her that there are mountains beyond people, even if those people are obviously not as good as her in talent, learning and appearance, but if her status suppresses her, then she can't be petty to them.It's just that when Daiyu entered the Rongguo Mansion back then, she kept her breath in front of Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and all the sisters, for fear of saying a wrong word.But some people still say that she is stingy, ignoring others, self-serving and noble, and doing nothing.It can be seen what other people think in their hearts, and it is useless to do what they do.

The two brothers and sisters were talking, and Lin Ke came to report, saying that the Beijing Palace had sent the chief attendant to deliver some things.

If a woman was sent over, it would be Daiyu who asked someone to take a look, but since Shui Rong had sent a long entourage, it was inevitable that Lin Mo would go there for a while. He smiled and said, "Play first, if you're bored, Alright, let Che’er come over to play with you, he’s cooking something in the yard, bring it here, it’s delicious.”

Lin Che didn't have to go to the Tai Hospital these days, and was at home in a hurry. If he had nothing to do, he was tinkering with the recipe and asked Yunchu to find a way to make it. Cook, if he has time to study other things, he said: "I'm just idle. It's winter now, and herbs are very rare. If I fiddle with them and waste some, what should our shopkeepers say?" me."

Daiyu also heard that Lin Che had made a new grilled fish, but although her body had improved greatly compared to the past, she still didn't dare to eat these grilled fish, so she smiled and said, "Brother If I have nothing to do, I will naturally call him to talk, but he is getting older and has his own things to do, so how can he just play with me casually."

Lin Mo talked to him a few more words before walking to the front hall, but was taken aback for a moment.

Where did he come from? It was the long follower of Prince Jing's Mansion, who was clearly Shui Rong himself in disguise.

"Heh—" He dragged his voice, what happened recently, one or two like to dress up and come to his house.Pretending to salute, as expected, Shui Rong helped him up: "I'll come and take a look."

"Why do you look like this?" Long-term companions have their own regulations when traveling, and Shui Rong is used to enjoying the blessings. I don't know why it is uncomfortable to ride a horse today.Lin Mo took a few glances at him, "Are you afraid that people will find out when you come to our house? It needs to be like this."

Shui Rong coughed dryly: "I'm just afraid that people will gossip."

Lin Mo sneered and said, "I'm really afraid that people will gossip. People can see this posture and gossip more—what's the matter?"

The two of them could see each other in Hubu on weekdays, but he suddenly came to the house at this moment, not as infatuated as before, naturally he had something to talk about.

The background of the Beijing Prince's Mansion is unfathomable, and Shui Rong learned the news much faster than others, so Lin Mo didn't really think that Zhou Hui was gone, but this person was really sad enough to let go and do nothing.Sure enough, Shui Rong said: "Qian Xueguo intends to make peace with me."

Lin Mo said: "Is this something new? But since you said it, there must be a reason for it?"

Shui Rong coughed a few times: "You can't hide anything from you. Qian Xueguo started thinking about getting married a few years ago. At that time, the queen wanted to pick a young talent from this dynasty to match her crown princess, but you know the customs of the two countries. It's quite different, my good son Lang, there is no reason to go into the family - not to mention that there is a lot of husbands there. Later, I wanted to come to ask the noble daughter of my dynasty. It's just that the clan women are precious, and the second The prince who came over there could not inherit the great power, who would want to go. What's more, Qianxue Country has few people and few things, and it is so far away from home. During the past few years of trade, except for spices, pearls and stones, I have not seen Ben to buy anything else from them. You also know that horse food is the most important thing in the mutual trade between the two countries. Whoever controls this end will speak louder. Don't look at the tea trade that has accounted for such a large share in the past few years. If you really want to talk about it , not as strong as a cloth merchant. I heard that the Nan'an Palace wants to marry its own county head to make a marriage."

"What are you thinking?" Lin Mo said, "However, where are the county heads of their family? I remember that there are only two county heads, and they both got married early?"

Shui Rong said: "It's not a big deal to recognize a righteous daughter. What do you think they are planning?"

"Being married to Qian Xueguo is not an honor to Nan'an Palace, but why did I hear that Zhong Bandit was not polite about Qian Xueguo's envoy? If you really want to be close to me, will this be your attitude?"

Neither of them is stupid, thinking of the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the south, Bai Shiyue hurriedly left Beijing in the north, and the restlessness of Qian Xueguo, Beidi, and Turkic this year...they all have a twinkle in their eyes.

"King Nan'an is looking for death!" Shui Rong slapped the table, the four kings were closely related, he was afraid that he would be hurt.

"Go to the palace and report to the emperor, at least you can escape." Lin Mo said.Shui Rong asked: "You don't want this credit?"

"Save your own life first."
