Red House Shoufu

Chapter 80 First Meeting (for further reading)

Near the end of the day, the guests in the front yard left one after another.

Lin Shu, who was slightly drunk, saw off the last guest, washed his face with cold water, and refreshed himself.

Jia Lian is resting in the guest room in order to help Lin Shu hold back the wine.Xue Pan hadn't gone back yet, he was talking to Jia Rong, and the topics of conversation were nothing more than the favorite things among dudes.

Lin Shu said a few words to the two, ordered his servants to greet them wholeheartedly, and then walked to the inner house.

When passing through the small garden, because the winding path leads to a secluded place, covered by bamboo forests, and more or less drunk, at a turning, Lin Shu was suddenly hit by a figure.

"Ouch..."

"Ok?"

There was a faint scent coming, Lin Shu frowned and said: This scent is not from someone I know well, it should be a female customer!

Looking up, the person who almost fell straightened up.I saw a young woman.

On her head was a glossy black bra, a honey-colored padded jacket, a rose-purple two-color gold and silver mouse shoulder-length jacket, and a scallion-yellow damask cotton skirt.

Lips are red without spots, eyebrows are green without painting, face is like a silver basin, and eyes are like water apricots.Rare and reticent, people call them Tibetan fools; they are safe at any time, and keep their own clumsiness.

The woman raised her eyes and saw that the person who collided with him was actually a man, so she quickly moved aside and covered her face with a handkerchief.

"Miss Xue? Miss Xue..."

Lin Shu recognized that it was Xue Yan's voice, if he guessed correctly, it should be Xue Baochai who collided with him.

Sure enough, she lived up to the praise of being the head of the Twelve Gold Hairpins with Daiyu, her muscles and bones are smooth, and her manners are elegant.

"I am here……"

Xue Baochai yelled to the outside, and suddenly remembered that there was a strange man beside her, blushed pretty, and whispered, "I'm really sorry just now, I didn't pay attention, and that's why I bumped into you..."

She apologized and was about to leave. Lin Shu said with a smile: "It should be my fault. How can I make Miss Xue apologize? In Xia Linshu, Brother Xue is talking with a friend. I don't know if Miss Xue is looking for Is your brother?"

Hearing Lin Shu's words, Xue Baochai raised her head in surprise and looked at Lin Shu.

She praised in her heart: People say that the men of the Lin family in Gusu are extremely handsome, and the women are as beautiful as Luoshen. When I saw them today, it is true.

Lin Shusheng was tall and straight, wearing a seemingly ordinary Confucian uniform, which was handsome and elegant.

At this time, Xueyan ran over panting, and was stunned when he saw the two of them.Then he opened his mouth and said, "Master, have you finished seeing off the guests? Just now, the girls and the others drank some wine, and Miss Xue said that she wanted to let off the smell of alcohol in the yard..."

Xue Baochai took the words and explained: "Xue's daughter paid a visit to Mr. Zhuangyuan. The scenery in Lin's mansion is pleasant, and she lost her way before she knew it. I hope you will forgive me for being rude."

Lin Shu waved his hands and replied: "It's okay, Miss Xue is a distinguished guest of the Lin family, I did not entertain well. Although this garden is small, it has been carefully cared for by generations. There are dense bamboos, and it is indeed easy to get lost when you first enter."

As he spoke, Lin Shu asked Xue Yan: "Who else is in the inner courtyard?"

"Returning to the uncle, someone from Baolinghou's mansion just picked up the second girl of the Shi family and went back, leaving the three girls from the Ningrong and Rong mansions. Since the elder girl is going to live in the Rongguo mansion temporarily, she stays and waits together. go back."

Hearing Xue Yan's words, Lin Shu thought that the rest of them were all relatives of the Lin family, so he was less shy.

He said to Xue Baochai: "Your brother is afraid that he hasn't finished talking with his friends. Why don't you go back to the inner courtyard and have a rest. Someone will report when your brother leaves later."

"It's all up to Duke Zhuangyuan to decide."

Immediately Lin Shu led Xue Baochai and Xueyan through the bamboo forest path to the inner courtyard.

"elder brother……"

"Brother Lin..."

"Hello, Cousin Lin!"

As soon as they entered the courtyard, a group of little girls were sitting around playing in the small pavilion. When they saw Lin Shu and the other three coming in, they all saluted and said hello.

Lin Shu replied to them one by one: "How are the younger sisters playing today? There are too many guests in the front yard, so I have time to come here, don't be surprised."

Daiyu moved over in a small step, took Lin Shu's arm and shook it: "Brother, I have discussed with my sisters. After sister Yuan arrives in Beijing, we will make an appointment to go to Dabaoen Temple to eat vegetarian food together. Brother can accompany me at that time." go?"

Hearing the word Su Zhai, Xichun's eyes lit up beside him. Lin Shu looked at the two snacks, one big and one small, and couldn't help laughing and said, "You've already decided, can I still say no?"

"That's settled!"

Daiyu narrowed her eyes happily, and ran back to the sisters: "My brother agreed, and I will send the post over when the time comes. Let's go together!"

Xue Baochai looked at the cheerful Daiyu enviously, looked at Lin Shu quietly, and thought to herself, if her brother had Lin Shu's talent, maybe she wouldn't have to go to that cannibalistic harem.

My elder brother is filial to his mother and dotes on himself, but unfortunately, none of these can change the fate of the Xue family, nor can he get rid of his identity as a merchant girl.

Xue Baochai was thinking about something, Tanchun tugged at her sleeve: "Sister Bao, Sister Lin is asking you something..."

It turned out that Daiyu had just discussed with several people about sending posts, and asked Xue Baochai what he meant.

"County owner... Sister Lin will decide on this matter, and I will definitely attend the meeting then."

Although Daiyu noticed Xue Baochai's trance, but she didn't want to ask more about it, she just nodded and said: "Sister Xue is very talented, and I will definitely write a few more poems by then, so that they can be included in our collection of poems."

"Brother will write the preface to the collection of poems for us. After I have someone print them, I will send them to you..." Daiyu winked mischievously at Lin Shu, and assigned him a job.

Lin Shu couldn't help laughing, the poetry meeting hadn't even started yet, and the schedule for the poetry collection had been arranged.

"You can do whatever you want. If the writing is not good, don't blame me for criticizing it for nothing..."

Daiyu replied arrogantly: "It's a pity that I am a woman. If I can take the imperial examination, I may not lose to my brother."

"Okay, okay, our female number one scholar, when the time comes, write a hundred and eighty poems, let me worship and worship!"

Lin Shu's words made all the girls laugh, and the courtyard was full of joy.

……

In the evening, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Xue Pan declined Lin Shu's invitation to the dinner, and each took their younger sisters home.

Wang Huan, who was so drunk, fell asleep in the dark, and only Lin Shu and Daiyu sat and ate together.

The two of them didn't have any scruples about eating and sleeping, and they talked while eating.

"What does brother think of sister Xue?" Daiyu recalled how she got along with Xue Baochai today, and sighed in her heart that the life of this newly acquainted sister was not easy.

Lin Shu thought that Daiyu was curious about the fact that she and Xue Baochai returned to the inner courtyard at the same time, and when she was about to explain, she heard Daiyu continue: "Before today, I thought that sister Xue would be as arrogant and domineering as her brother, but unexpectedly So dignified and elegant. It's a pity..."

"What a pity?" Lin Shu asked.

"It's a pity that sister Xue came to the capital to participate in the small election, and I'm afraid I won't see her a few times in the future."

Daiyu sighed, and she said to Lin Shu: "I heard that the situation of Xue's family is getting worse day by day. Sister Xue's brother spends his days drinking and drinking, and even the business at home is taken care of by her mother."

Speaking of this, Daiyu held Lin Shu's arm tightly: "Thanks to my elder brother, otherwise I am afraid that life will not be much better than that of sister Xue."
