serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 276 Trivia
It was already dark, and the lanterns under the eaves of various courtyards in Ningguo Mansion were lit up one after another.

It was pitch black outside Jia Hu's study room, only wisps of faint light came from inside the study room.

Hu Po and several maidservants carrying food boxes stood outside the door of the study, neither daring to call out nor to go in, they just stood there dumbfounded.

A lantern was rapidly floating toward the study.

Lin Zhixiao's family was in front of them with lanterns, and Zijuan walked quickly to the study with Lin Daiyu.

Amber greeted her quickly, with a worried expression on her face: "Girl, go in and have a look."

"what happened?"

"It's already this hour, and the second master hasn't eaten a bite yet, so he won't let him in."

Ok?
Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, okay, what kind of fanfare is this?
Wu Qingbo seized the title and dismissed him, and demoted him to a commoner.

Ma Yong, several children of Ma and Cheng's family were all slightly injured, and they only need to recuperate for two days, which will not delay the general examination on the ninth day of February.

Ni's second-hand subordinates were seriously injured, but they had been properly arranged, and Xue's family gave each person 500 taels of medicine.

As for Xue Pan, it's good to lie down for a while, everyone is safe, and Aunt Xue is also at ease.

Haven't heard of anything else?
Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu walked to the door and gently pushed the study door open.

Jia Hu was sitting in front of the desk, scribbling fast.

"what happened?"

"Why are you here?" Jia Hu didn't look up and continued to write quickly.

Lin Daiyu leaned over to the desk, and said with a smile: "In folk tales and operas, there are often scenes where a hero saves a beauty, and then the beauty promises herself to repay her kindness."

"."

Jia Hu glanced at her and said nothing.

"Although you didn't have a hero to save the beauty, you also saved the beauty's brother."

Lin Daiyu sat down by the desk, put her chin in her hands and looked at him with a smile, "Is it because Bao girl didn't come here to make a promise with her body?"

Uh.
Jia Hu shook his hand, and a few drops of thick ink dripped onto the paper.

Lin Daiyu curled her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Prudish."

"What did you say?"

"What do you say?"

Ha ha!

Jia Hu's brow was sweating, and now he can finally understand Jia Baoyu in the original book, what a crush!
Lin Daiyu looked at him and said seriously, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm really hungry, what can I eat?" Jia Hu put down his pen.

"It's good to be hungry."

Lin Daiyu stood up and walked to the door: "Bring in the dinner."

Amber came in with a few maidservants, put a large bowl of rice, four dishes and a bowl of soup on the small round table at the side, and then withdrew.

Jia Hu walked to the table and sat down, reaching for the rice bowl, Lin Daiyu gave him a slap, "Wash your hands."

Jia Hu: "Yes." After answering, he went to the copper basin at the side and washed his hands. While wiping, he said, "Do you know about the second master fainting in the study room?"

Lin Daiyu picked up a bowl full of rice, and took out a pair of chopsticks from the food box, "Words have spread in the Rong Mansion that the second master was hand-picked as the deputy examiner of the big exam, and the second master was excited for a while. Passed out." As he spoke, he handed over the chopsticks.

Jia Hu took the chopsticks and took a small mouthful of rice, "I'm excited, but it's not because of this incident." As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, and then took two mouthfuls of rice.

Lin Daiyu understood, smiled, and said nothing.

Jia Hu stuffed another chopstick of mutton into his mouth, and praised while eating: "The craftsmanship in this small kitchen is getting better and better, what will you give them tomorrow."

Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded: "Eat slowly, don't choke." Seeing Jia Hu eating so deliciously, she swallowed subconsciously.

"Hehe, do you eat?"

"If I don't eat, you think I'm fat."

Jia Hu was speechless. After eating the rice in the bowl, he filled half of the bowl and passed it along with the chopsticks, "It's better to be fatter, not only in good health, but also in temperament."

"Nonsense again."

Lin Daiyu took the bowl and chopsticks and asked with a smile, "How do you eat?"

Jia Hu held the big bowl of rice in front of him, brought the spoon over, put a spoonful of rice to his mouth, and took a bite.

"Come, eat a piece of meat"

Lin Daiyu smiled and gave Jia Hu a piece of meat with chopsticks, took a small mouthful of rice by herself, and hurriedly picked up vegetables for him.

Swallowing the food that Lin Daiyu brought to his mouth, Jia Hu suddenly remembered: "By the way, from tomorrow onwards, I will live in the barracks, and I will be back on November."

Lin Daiyu smiled slightly: "I won't delay you." Then she took another piece of mutton and put it in Jia Hu's mouth.

"The drill manual has been distributed to them a long time ago. If they can't direct the drill alone after ten days, they might as well go home and pick up their children."

"Don't forget about Lin San and Xiaohong."

"Remember it! Hey, it's Yingchun's birthday tomorrow, please say something nice for me!"

"I've prepared the gift two days earlier, so don't worry."

As she said that, Lin Daiyu suddenly remembered: "Just now Aunt Xue sent someone to invite you with wine in two days."

Jia Hu: "Just say that I am busy with military affairs and don't have time, so push it for me. Let Rong'er visit Xue Pan on my behalf, and send two good-quality old wild ginseng."

"Humph!"

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes, "I will be the bad guy, and you will be the good guy."

As soon as Jia Hu heard the music, he thought about it and said with a smile, "Why don't you go on my behalf?"

"Hey, if you have the ability, you go with me."

"Okay, when it's not busy in late February, I'll go with you."

"."

Lin Daiyu looked at him for a while, then picked up a piece of meat and ate it by herself.

Jia Hu looked at her, and then said: "This time I was negligent. If I had sent someone to meet her at the pier in advance, such a thing would not have happened. The most important thing is to completely offend the Queen Mother. Don't look at her and There is disharmony among the emperors, as long as she speaks, the emperor will give her three points."

Speaking of this, she lowered her voice, but said almost word for word: "The Empress Dowager's natal family was born to build a house. She doesn't have a good background and backing, but she was able to give birth to two princes for the Supreme Emperor, and she succeeded. Raising them up, it shows how deep her scheming is."

After a pause, "This is the most terrifying enemy! We must find a way to get rid of her as soon as possible!"

Lin Daiyu was startled, looking at Jia Hu with distress and deep worry at the same time.

After being silent for a while, Jia Hu said to Lin Daiyu: "Jiao Hui will come to withdraw the money in the past few days, and the amount will be very large. You open the internal treasury and give him all the money on the rows of shelves in the southwest corner. Don't keep an account. The money is originally It's not on the account."

Lin Daiyu nodded.

At this moment, Lin San's voice came from outside the door: "Second Master."

Jia Hu: "Come in."

The door curtain was lifted, Lin San hurried in, and said in a low voice, "Second Master, someone from the Wang family came to report the funeral, Wang Ren is dead."

Jia Hu's eyes flashed, then nodded.

Lin San went on to say: "Elder Master, Second Master, they are ready, and they are waiting for Second Master."

Jia Hu waved his hand: "Let Rong'er go."

Lin San was slightly taken aback, and replied: "Yes." He hurried out.

Lin Daiyu: "Aren't you going?"

Jia Hu was silent for a moment, then replied, "No."
