Red House Shoufu

Chapter 41 Baoyu
Just as Jia Shishi was thinking about something, the sound of a mandarin duck came from the door.

"Old Ancestor, Uncle Lin is here to greet you!"

No matter how old or young in the room, they all stopped talking and laughing and raised their heads to look at the door.

I saw Lin Shu wearing a Confucian robe and a purple cloak, and only a jade hairpin was fixed on his hair.

There is no brocade jade belt, nor a gemstone gold crown, but the face is like a crown jade, and the figure is tall and straight.About eighteen or nineteen years old, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, like a sharp sword, stood at the door with Jia Lian.

He first looked around and saw Daiyu sitting with three girls he didn't know. The siblings looked at each other and smiled.

Immediately, he bowed to Jia Shishi Jishou, who was the first seat in the hall: "My junior Lin Shu, please be well, Mrs. Tai!"

He didn't bow down like other people when they visited, and he didn't call his grandmother like Daiyu.Etiquette standard, warm smile, gentle and elegant, giving people an extremely comfortable feeling.

Jia Shishi was furious, but Lin Shu's etiquette was not a problem, so he couldn't get angry because of such a trivial matter.

"You are Ruhai's nephew? You look good, but you are not as good as Baoyu..."

Jia Lian couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

What kind of eyes does the old lady have? How can Baoyu, who is full of childishness, be compared with Lin Jieyuan, who is very handsome and well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, who is very inherited from the Lin family.

Look at Lin Ruhai's fame, Tanhualang!What is Tanhualang, the one who is the most talented and beautiful among the new Jinshi.

Look at Daiyu again, she has the appearance of a fairy before she grows up.Baoyu is cute, but compared with Lin Shu, he is far behind, okay?
Jia Lian's laughter made Jia Shishi frowned, but she couldn't control the eldest grandson now, so she could only turn her eyes back to Lin Shu.

After saluting and getting up, Lin Shu stood in the hall, looking even more tall and straight.Even Jia Shishi, who was full of resentment, had to say that the members of the Lin family were more refined and elegant.

"Since you've come to the capital, you should come here to play in your spare time. Ruhai entrusted Yu'er to the old woman back then, and she has been delayed in teaching because of filial piety these years, so let her stay in the mansion."

Lin Shu smiled faintly: "Madam, the Lin family will never forget the kindness of Rongguo Mansion's upbringing back then. But the younger sister is the daughter of the Lin family after all, and this junior should do his best to teach her so as to live up to his father's entrustment at the end of his life. If Mrs. Tai Madam misses her, and the younger generation will ask my younger sister to visit more often. Besides, Your Majesty is kind enough to allow Nanny Zhang and Nanny Lu to be raised in the Lin family. If you want to come here to teach, you are completely competent."

His gaze turned to Nanny Zhang, and Nanny Zhang immediately stood up and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Tai, Your Majesty once said that the loyal and righteous are the ministers of the country, and the palace is responsible for the upbringing of the county lord, so that the loyal ministers will be in heaven." spirit!"

What the two of them said completely rejected Jia Shishi's intention to keep Daiyu, and she couldn't say anything more, so she just told Lin Shu a few words casually.

Tired, she didn't care about Lin Shu any more, and only asked Wang Xifeng to introduce other people in Rongxi Hall.

Lin Shu first met Jia She's stepwife, Jia Xing, with a salute, and then greeted Sanchun, so he knew him.

Because of Daiyu's hospitality to Lin Shu just now, Jia Xing was warm and kind to Lin Shu, which surprised Jia Lian who just came in.

Wang Xifeng whispered in his ear what had happened before, allowing Jia Lian to get to know this not very close stepmother again.

Leaving aside these trivial matters, Lin Shu couldn't feel comfortable sitting among a group of female relatives.Although Sanchun, no matter how big or small, has his own style, but he was taught by Lin Ruhai's orthodox Confucianism since he was a child, and he respected ethics more or less in dealing with people.

Of course, he will not be like the rigid old master, who is full of Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, but more of the orthodox Confucian ethics.

For example, in the current situation, he is a foreigner, so it is not easy for him to get too close to the girls of Jia's family.What does the old lady of the Jia family think, her granddaughter's reputation is gone?
"Cousin Lian, let's go to the front yard..."

Lin Shu murmured to Jia Lian in a low voice: "I'm a foreigner. After a long time, it will be a hindrance to the reputation of the girl's family."

Jia Lian also reacted, and cursed himself inwardly, a brother is not as good as a cousin.

Just about to speak, there was a pleasantly surprised cry from the door: "Sister Lin is back? Why didn't you tell me earlier, if I knew I would not go to the ethnology today!"

Before he finished speaking, a young man dressed in bright red brocade, wearing a purple gold crown, white and beardless, with black brows and round face broke in.

Jia Lian whispered in Lin Shu's ear, "This is Baoyu..."

As soon as Jia Baoyu entered the door, he saw Daiyu sitting with Sanchun, as if the distant memory gradually became clear again.

Compared with being thin and weak before, the already slim Daiyu is even more beautiful, and she can't help but move her steps to get closer.

At the moment when Lin Shu frowned, Nanny Zhang stood between Jia Baoyu and Daiyu: "This..."

"This is my family's Baoyu, the second son of my second uncle, and people in the house call him Second Master Bao!" Wang Xifeng said at the right time.

"So this is the second master Bao who was born with jade? Back then, the old slave was still in the hidden mansion. When His Majesty mentioned it, the old slave was by his side. I didn't expect that the second master Bao was fourteen or five years old in the past ten years. .”

Zhang Momo looked up and down, turned to Jia Shishi and said: "No wonder everyone said that Mrs. Rong Guo loves Second Master Bao, and if this old slave has a grandson who is as precious as jade, she would like to hold her in her hand. "

Jia Shishi only regarded Zhang Nanny as sincere praise, smiled and said to Jia Baoyu: "This is Zhang's attendant next to His Majesty, who is responsible for your sister Lin's teaching. Baoyu, hurry up and salute."

Jia Baoyu has a pure personality and treats the elderly kindly.Hearing that Nanny Zhang is someone close to Daiyu, she immediately smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Nanny, for teaching Sister Lin with all your heart these two years!"

Nanny Zhang nodded, it seemed that this Second Master Bao was indeed pure and kind, just as Xiu Yiwei said.

"May I let you out? I haven't seen Sister Lin for more than two years, and now I just happen to get close!"

Jia Baoyu stretched his neck and looked behind Zhang Nanny, who frowned and was about to speak.Seeing Lin Shu nodding, he turned away.

Daiyu got up, and took the lead in giving Baoyu Fushen a peer salute: "Baoyu...Second brother Bao, how have you been these two years?"

Wearing a dazzling crown of the county lord, Daiyu looks even more noble.Jia Baoyu stared at the person in front of him bewilderedly, but didn't know what to say for a long time.

Xichun next to him said abruptly: "Second Brother Bao, Sister Lin is asking you, why don't you speak!"

"Oh, oh, didn't I see Sister Lin, and I was too happy for a while. I'm fine, but I just want Sister Lin to think about it. That year, Lian's second brother went to pick up his sister, why didn't you know how to go home? Yes Didn't that Lin Shu not let you come back? Did he bully you? If he bullied you, I'll ask my ancestors to avenge you!"

Jia Baoyu's words made Daiyu a little annoyed. Baoyu has been crazy for more than two years, and he still speaks so thoughtlessly.

She immediately turned cold: "Isn't Suzhou Linfu my home? Brother Bao is blaming me for being a filial piety for my father? My brother treats me well, and it's not your turn to talk about it!"
