Red Mansion(34)

Lin Yutong returned to the courtyard, and Lin Yuyang went to see off the eunuchs from the palace. Lin Daiyu was left here surrounded by people, and then she was pulled to her side by Jia Mu, who said reluctantly: "Your sister is busy at home, you go back

It's just adding to the trouble. Why don't you stay and live in the garden with your sisters and play together. You can also keep company with me, an old woman."

"What our ancestors said is very true. I have been thinking about the garden for a long time, and I just thought that two places are good. You see, it would be good for me to live in Yihongyuan, and my sister to live in Xiaoxiang Hall. We are closer to each other, and we can always be together.

Wouldn't it be nice to talk everywhere?" Jia Baoyu immediately answered happily.

Lin Daiyu had something on her mind at the moment. Her brother went out for a while, and the imperial edict of the marriage came down. She said that there was nothing fishy in it, but she didn't believe it. Thinking of Jing Haibo, who became her brother-in-law through marriage, she also

I don’t know whether I am round or flat, what my temper is. How can I not worry about it? How can I not have feelings for my brother and sister in the past two years? At first, my sister may be out of responsibility for herself, but she is different from her brother.

But this responsibility alone has benefited me a lot. What’s more, as time goes by, my sister’s heart has softened. She is a little cautious about herself, but it’s mostly because of her sensitive temperament. It’s not as good as with her brother.

I have always been straightforward when talking, but my concern is the same. Now that a major event in my life has suddenly been decided, how can I not become anxious.

So he smiled and said to Jia Mu: "That's why I should go back. I can also help here and there at home." Then he turned to Jia Baoyu and said: "You live in Yihong Courtyard, it is spacious.

It’s open. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is cold and small, and my body can’t live there.”

"Damn it! Damn it!" Jia Baoyu patted his forehead and said with great annoyance: "I only cared about getting closer to my sister so that I could see each other, but I forgot about this. I looked at Daoxiang Village and it was pretty good, with good lighting.

And quiet.”

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled but said nothing. She just said to Jia Mu: "I will go back to settle down first. Grandma misses me, so just come and pick me up." Let's talk about whether you can come then.

Seeing her stubbornness, Mother Jia knew she couldn't resist, so she nodded. Lin Daiyu said goodbye to Mrs.

Li Wan quickly thanked her profusely. She was still worried about her son's studies.

Wang Xifeng took Lin Daiyu's hand and walked her out, saying: "I don't need you to invite me, I will visit you often. Besides, the old lady must be able to pick you up every three or two days."

It's as if we haven't seen each other for ten or eight years."

Everyone behind them laughed and said, "That's what I said."

When Lin Daiyu returned to the yard, Lin Yuyang had already returned. He lowered his head and shouted to Lin Yutong: "I should have known that he was a big-tailed wolf. I shouldn't have begged him in the first place."

Lin Yutong waved to Daiyu, but he asked Lin Yuyang: "This is a rare thing to say, what do you mean?"

"The Emperor has wanted to arrange a marriage between my sister and Wen Tianfang for more than a day or two. This year my sister will also be pregnant, so..." Lin Yuyang said in a low voice: "When it comes to this person, there is nothing wrong with him. He looks well-matched.

If you are worthy of me, your family background is worthy of you, and your abilities will not be wronged by my sister. There are no girls or aunts around me."

"With such good conditions, why haven't you married yet?" Lin Yutong asked. Could it be that there is some hidden illness?

Lin Yuyang shook his head and said: "This is the only pity. His fate is not good. Not only does he have no parents, brothers and sisters, but he also has no relatives. With such a fate, it is natural for a family to love its daughter.

He won't let her go. He doesn't look down on anyone who doesn't love his daughter."

"Then isn't this hurting my sister?" Lin Daiyu asked.

Lin Yutong didn't care about fate. According to fate, these three people gathered together should all be dead.

Lin Yuyang said: "The emperor has asked my father for his opinion on this matter earlier. My father wrote in a letter saying that my sister has a strange destiny and there are no taboos. So there is no problem."

Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat. She knew she couldn't hide it from Lin Ruhai, an old fox.

"It's okay." Lin Yutong also smiled and said: "My fate is up to me."

Lin Daiyu glanced at Lin Yutong and said: "I have never seen it before, so I can't know the root cause."

"I haven't seen it, but my father has. Brother Yang has seen it. He's very familiar with it. Men are always more accurate than women when it comes to men." Lin Yutong smiled and said, "Can father and Brother Yang still hurt me?"

Lin Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief, but in his heart he scolded Wen Tianfang. This man could take advantage of others, so he was definitely not a gentleman.

Sister-in-law Ping came over to report, "Most of the things have been packed away. Three or five people have left the remaining things to put them away. It will be the same when we take them back tomorrow. We can leave now."

Lin Yutong said: "Let's go then. Since we've said goodbye, let's go directly."

She was afraid that Jia Baoyu would cry again and hold on to Lin Daiyu's sleeve. If things really broke out, it would be too ugly.

By the time Mother Jia heard the report from Nanny Lin, Jufang Courtyard had already been empty.

But it was said that the two Lin sisters got on the carriage, and Lin Yuyang was riding outside to protect them. When they came out of the alley, they saw a group of people coming towards them.

"Uncle!" Lin Yuyang was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

When Lin Yutong heard this, he felt relieved. Being so positive at least proves that he is looking forward to their marriage. Then, it shouldn't be difficult to get along with each other. This is a good start.

Lin Daiyu quietly opened a crack in the car curtain, glanced hastily and took it back. She smiled at Lin Yutong and said, "I'll draw a portrait later and show it to my sister."

Lin Yutong smiled and said nothing. But he remembered the young man he saw on the pier when he first came to the capital.

I heard someone say from outside: "I guess it's time for you to go back home. I'll bring someone here to give you a ride. This will save you from being bumped into."

Lin Yu and Yang Xin said: You are a liar. This is the Lin family's signature brand in Beijing. Can anyone easily hit it?

However, he still said thank you. And even though he knew that his sister could hear them, he still stepped forward to report them.

Lin Yutong said in the car: "There's Uncle Robert."

No shyness, open and generous.

Wen Tianfang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It should be."

Lin Daiyu smiled.

It wasn't awkward at first, but now this smile is a bit embarrassing.

Lin Yuyang then answered: "Then let's go."

It's actually not that far from Jia's house to Lin's house. It only takes more than half an hour to get on the carriage.

Wen Tianfang sent the person back to the house without staying much. Lin Yuyang was thinking about putting things away in the house, which was in a mess. He asked him to come again next time. Then he said goodbye.

Let’s not talk about what the Lin family was busy talking about after returning home. Let’s just talk about Lin Yutong’s gift of marriage, which made Xue Baochai feel sick.

Lin Yutong is younger than Xue Baochai, and now the marriage has been decided. How can Xue Baochai not have any thoughts in his heart.

When I thought about my destination, I still didn't know where it was. When I came back at night, I fell directly on the kang, feeling suffocated and depressed.

"My son, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Xue sighed and said: "You are better than others in every way. But your background is the only difference. This marriage granted by the Holy Spirit is

Can any family have such dignity? Although the eldest daughter of the Lin family is a concubine, she is also the concubine of a high-ranking official. Moreover, the Lin family has a prominent ancestor, and in Master Lin's generation, it has even changed its family background. He is a scholar.

How noble and noble. Son, you can’t compare like this.”

"How come I don't know." Xue Baochai lowered his eyelids and said, "Besides, I recognize that you are better than others, but I really don't dare to say this if you are better than her."

"Why don't you dare to say this? The eldest girl of the Lin family is good at everything but bad at one thing. Her temper is too strong. Look at Feng Yatou now and know her future." Aunt Xue said: "Girl's family

, it’s better for my son to do this.”

"It's better for Mom to talk about this at home. Don't go out and talk about it." Xue Baochai blushed and turned away without speaking.

"Okay! Don't tell me." Aunt Xue sighed: "I see that Baoyu's character and appearance are top-notch. He was born in such a mansion and was raised with nobles and nobles. There are several girls in the house.

This doesn't hinder anything, your aunt hates seeing these monsters the most. Sooner or later they will be dismissed."

"Why did mom just say this?" Xue Baochai couldn't help but turned his head, "If aunt really has this intention, why doesn't she say it? I'm afraid aunt can't make the decision about Baoyu."

"You don't know this." Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I was really not sure about this before, but now I have a few percent chance of winning. The eldest daughter of the Lin family is now a confirmed uncle. Could it be that the legitimate daughter of the Lin family is inferior?

Is it possible? In the past, the old lady wanted to match up Baoyu and Daiyu. But with the defensive look on the face of the eldest girl of the Lin family, I knew it was going to happen, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy. But now, the old lady's plan is no longer

No way. Girl Yun, the old lady might give it some thought, but your aunt wouldn't agree to anything at that time. Although Girl Yun is Miss Hou Men, she is an orphan after all. She can't compare to the benefits of our family.

.I have been sisters with your aunt for half my life, and I know her best. My son, just don’t worry."

"There is a queen in the palace, I'm afraid my aunt is too big-hearted." Xue Baochai said lightly, then turned his head.

"The empress in the palace." Aunt Xue said with a smile: "You still can't understand, the empress is so shameless. Here we just issued a decree asking the Lin family girls to live in the garden. Over there, the decree came down and asked them to go back.

Prepare to get married. Your aunt is a sensible person. You can’t tell that this lady may not be really honorable in the palace."

Xue Baochai sat up all of a sudden. Today she was only focused on feeling uncomfortable, and she really didn't think about this aspect.

"My son, if your brother hadn't failed to live up to his expectations, why would you have to wrong my son like this?" Aunt Xue said, inevitably feeling sad. It's just that your son failed to live up to his expectations and couldn't support his family. At least he would be more honest and responsible, and his life would be better.

.But he is the leader who causes trouble. He can't control himself, and he doesn't know how to find a place to take refuge. What should he do? The Xue family is related to the other families, but since the master of the family is gone, the business is no longer what it used to be.

The supply of money is not enough, and other families are indifferent to me. If it weren't for the Wang family's nephews who are as useless as Pan'er, why would I have to live with my natal family and live in my sister's house? Even if my brother is not in the capital, is the real estate

All the family property is gone.

The mother and daughter sighed and discussed it again before resting.

Just as Aunt Xue thought, Mrs. Wang was twisting the beads in her hand, one at a time, faster than the other. The Lin family slapped the empress in the face today. But if the emperor really liked the empress, such a thing would not happen.

Zhou Rui's family stood aside and did not dare to speak. Seeing that Mrs. Wang's face was getting worse and worse, she said, "Maybe it was just a coincidence."

What a coincidence! Who would believe this?

"But I found out where the Lin family brother went after he returned." Mrs. Wang asked.

"Went to Jinghaibo Mansion." Zhou Rui's family whispered back.

Then this is no coincidence.

"Go and invite the master over." Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and said. This matter still needs to be discussed with the master. She then asked: "Where is the master now."

Zhou Rui's family replied in a low voice: "It seems that I went to Aunt Zhao's house. Maybe I was wrong. I'll tell the girls to go to the outer courtyard first and ask."
