Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 55: The Way of Doting on Your Sister
Yu Xin’s tone was calm, “There’s nothing to say, it’s pretty much the same as what’s been said outside.

When I was six years old, both my parents in this life passed away. According to my parents’ last wishes, my tribe sent me to the mountains to learn martial arts.

It wasn't until Master felt that I was successful in martial arts that he let me go down the mountain.

Then I took the martial arts exam and entered Jinyiwei. About half a year after entering, I recovered the memory of my previous life."

Xue Baobao hurriedly supported his chest, withdrew from his arms, raised his head and looked at him with twinkling eyes, "Then are you really like what was shown on TV, you can break a big stone with one palm, and you also have your own sound effects?" And explosion effects?”

Yu Xin, "..."

If he says no, will he be looked down upon by his sister?
At this moment, the boy outside shouted from a distance, "Sir, the second master invites you to accompany your wife to have breakfast. She is waiting outside the yard."

Yu Xin, "..."

Suddenly I felt that Xue Pan, a fool, could be smart sometimes!
Xue Baobao was anxious, and hurriedly pushed him away, looked for water to wash his face, and asked, "Brother, brother, can you help me see if my eyes are swollen?"

Yu Xin frowned. It was still troublesome in ancient times. There were too many restrictions and the baby was always not as comfortable as before.

After learning that his eyes were a little red and swollen, Xue Baobao urged Yu Xin to go first, while he fell a few steps behind and turned a corner to the front garden.

There were several freesias in bloom in the front garden. Xue Baobao carefully selected a pot and took it to Mrs. Xue's main room.

Mrs. Xue was chatting with Yu Xin, Xue Pan, Lin Daiyu, and Zhen Yinglian. When she saw Xue Baobao coming holding flowers, she ordered someone to take them and scolded, "Why are you holding them yourself? Where are your maids?"

Xue Baobao smiled and said, "This is a filial piety for my wife. Wouldn't it be better to hold it myself?"

Mrs.

Xue Baobao said, "Maybe I ate too much last night and couldn't sleep well at night, so I just got up early, just in time to send honey-fried kumquats to my elder brother, and then pick up potted flowers for my wife."

What she said perfectly explained the slight redness and swelling of her eyes, and also gave people the illusion that she did not stay at Yu Xin's place for a long time and just gave him a snack by the way.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xue didn't pay too much attention to her going to Yu Xin's place after hearing this. She only told her not to do this again in the future.

Yu Xin felt unhappy when he heard this. His sister had always been simple and natural, and could neither lie nor disdain to lie.

Now, in just one year, she has learned to lie with great proficiency. It's all because he recovered his memory too late. In the end, she still suffered...

……

……

It was already approaching the twelfth lunar month, and Mrs. Xue tried her best to persuade Yu Xin to stay at home to celebrate the New Year.

Naturally, Yu Xin reluctantly stayed and offered to personally teach Xue Pan's martial arts. Mrs. Xue was naturally overjoyed and told Xue Pan to listen to Yu Xin's words.

Xue Pan stupidly patted his chest repeatedly and promised that Master Yu has become his adopted brother, which is a blessing that many people cannot envy. Of course he must listen to him!
Yu Xin officially settled in the Xue family, and soon everyone in the Xue family discovered that this man, who was rumored to be a vicious man, was actually very kind although his temper was cold.

He was filial and gentle to Mrs. Xue, and strictly taught and restrained Xue Pan, but he still cared.

She is even more considerate and considerate towards Xue Baobao and her three younger sisters. She likes to search for fresh and beautiful clothes, jewelry and gadgets to make them smile.

Within a few days, Yu Xin had integrated into the Xue family perfectly. He was recognized as the responsible and capable eldest son and eldest brother of the Xue family, from Mrs. Xue to all the servants, including Mr. and Mrs. Xue Chen.

Since his arrival, the Xue family has had more pillars and backbones.

Xue Chen and his wife, the internal and external housekeepers, had the deepest feelings. They even lamented countless times that if Yu Xin had come to the Xue family earlier, the eldest family would not have to hand over the Xue family's business.

……

……

As the twelfth lunar month entered, most of the yamen in the capital were idle. Yu Xin had already received the emperor's personal promise that he would be promoted to the commander of the Imperial Guard after the new year. In order to avoid suspicion, he was even more idle.

When he was free, he often helped Xue Baobao with the herbs, and suggested to Mrs. Xue that he take his sisters around to personally choose clothes and jewelry for the New Year.

Mrs. Xue was naturally happy to see that he was in harmony with his brothers and sisters at home, so she agreed.

Yu Xin lived to the age of 39 in his previous life, and had 39 years of experience in making his sister happy. He is absolutely profound.

When I arrived in the world of Red Mansions, I was quite unable to use my skills due to various restrictions. Now that I have time and Mrs. Xue's approval, I can immediately show off my skills.

The first stop was to take my sisters to the Xiaoxiangguo Temple outside the city, where they could climb mountains, burn incense, watch the sunrise, and watch the sea of ​​clouds.

Xue Baobao was okay. Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian were so excited that they couldn't sleep the night they stayed in the mountains. The two of them whispered to each other all night long.

After watching the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds the next day, I spent the whole night writing poems, which disturbed Xue Baobao even in the next door room and dreamed that he was being punished to write poems. If he couldn't write, he wouldn't be allowed to eat!
Xue Baobao was hungry all night, and the next day when he looked at Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian, he was like looking at two tender pink ginseng fruits, and he wanted to swallow them in one bite.

After returning from Xiaoxiangguo Temple, the weather was good and it snowed heavily.

So Yu Xin took them to the Xishan Hot Spring Villa to walk in the snow to look for plum blossoms, barbecue in the snow, and even caught a fox for them to raise and play with.

After returning from the Hot Spring Villa, seeing that the New Year was about to come, Yu Xin took them to visit jewelry stores, cloth shops and bookstores, spending a lot of money to make them happy and happy.

Lin Daiyu has always been a slow-tempered person, and when Xue Baobao first heard that Yu Xin had been exposed when he was "seriously injured", she was quite wary of Yu Xin, and gradually let it go. She hugged Xue Baobao's arm and sighed, " Sister, I feel like I'm in a dream!

I am really greedy in the dream. Having a good sister like you is not enough. I also have such a good brother.

I’m afraid I’m too greedy and God won’t be able to see through it——”

Xue Baobao was both funny and distressed. He stretched out his hand and pinched her red little face, "You are still dreaming. If it is really a dream, I will give you a good beating. You like to think wildly!"

Lin Daiyu chuckled.

……

……

After the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, the weather cleared up, the streets were crowded with people, and there was a strong New Year flavor everywhere.

Early in the morning on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, many blacksmiths carrying big guys suddenly came to the door of Xue Mansion.

The blacksmiths worked in a vacant yard of the Xue family for nearly an hour before collecting their wages and leaving.

At this time, the Xue family had just finished breakfast. Xue Pan was a lowly working dog and still went to work, while Yu Xin led the female family members to see the results of the blacksmiths all morning.

As soon as the courtyard door was opened, Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Zhen, several girls, and all the maids and women couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't recognize the things inside!

Xue Baobao raised his head and smiled at Yu Xin. You can also copy the unpowered amusement park in future generations. Are you afraid that she will get bored and panic?
Yu Xin also smiled and took the lead to walk towards the artificial peach tree with lush flowers and leaves in the center of the yard.

There is a large round turntable on the top of the peach tree, and bird's nest-shaped swings are tied under the turntable.

Yu Xin sat on one of them, and when he put his foot down, the swing began to rotate.

Xue Baobao pulled Lin Daiyu's sleeve and said excitedly, "Didn't you say that you didn't dare to play on the swing because you were afraid of heights? This is good, suitable for you!"

Lin Daiyu was obviously very curious and eager to try, but she could only hold back.Yu Xin followed the swing around and returned to the crowd. He smiled and said, "These things are not difficult. It would be more interesting for the sisters to explore and explore by themselves. I happen to have something else to do, so I won't accompany the sisters." ”.

As soon as Yu Xin left, Lin Daiyu took Xue Baobao and Zhen Yinglian to try the peach blossom swing. Xue Baobao called the ladies to push the turntable.

The moment the swing started spinning in the air, both Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian couldn't help laughing in surprise.

Xue Baobao smiled and said, "Ying'er, take the sisters to play. Today I will make the decision on behalf of my wife and allow you to play for a day."

Most of the girls who serve the girls personally are no more than 15 years old. They are at the age when they love playing most and they are eager to say something.

You ran to the swing, and I ran to the slide. After a while, the whole yard was filled with laughter.

Mrs.

Mrs. Zhen is also smiling. Over the past year, her life has been comfortable, her health has improved a lot, and even her eyesight has improved a lot under the care of Dr. Xue's doctor.

"What a clever idea, and secondly, the most rare thing is that thought. Brother Xin is willing to spend so much thought and money to make his sisters happy. Isn't that just to be filial to his wife?
No wonder the master said that my wife is an extremely precious and rare golden doll. My brother and sister are so outstanding, and even my uncle is so capable and filial! "

Mrs. Xue liked to hear such words the most, and she was even more happy. She simply ordered the tables and chairs to be moved, and sat next to Mrs. Zhen, basking in the sun while watching their sisters play. She also ordered them to prepare hot drinks to let the sisters get tired from playing. eat.

There are too few entertainment activities in this era. Yu Xin's unpowered amusement park, which has cut out many things that are not suitable for ladies, has been enthusiastically sought after by all the girls in the Xue family.

While we were having fun, a boy suddenly bumped in and shouted, "Girl, Master Lin is here. I asked you and Miss Lin to come and see me!"

Lord Lin?
Lin Daiyu was surprised and shouted for the first time in public, "Mr. Lin? Is it Mr. Lin from Yangzhou?"

The boy nodded repeatedly, "Yes! I said he is Mr. Lin from Yangzhou!"

Lin Daiyu ran down in a panic. Xue Baobao was also happy for her and hurriedly caught up to help her, "Don't worry, don't fall."

In the outer courtyard, Yu Xin was drinking tea with Lin Ruhai.

When Lin Ruhai entered the door, he was very surprised to see Yu Xin personally greeting him and couldn't help but ask why.

Yu Xin briefly recounted it. Lin Ruhai was very surprised and asked about Xue Pan's situation.

While the two were chatting, Lin Ruhai suddenly heard her daughter's voice calling her father in surprise. She looked up and saw her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for a year, running toward him with teary eyes and bowing her head.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly stood up to stop her, looked her daughter up and down, and saw that her daughter had indeed grown much taller and stronger as stated in the letter. She no longer looked as delicate and frail as she had been when she was a child.

Although she is still slim and graceful, she has grown into a young girl.

Lin Ruhai felt happy and sad at the same time, her eyes suddenly turned red, she choked with sobs and called my son, and couldn't say any more.

Xue Baobao hurriedly helped the father and daughter sit down and said with a smile, "My uncle and my sister finally reunited. We should be happy. Why are we crying instead?"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly forced back tears and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Sister Bao is right, you should be happy. I just see Daiyu being raised healthy by my wife, so I am so happy!"

Lin Daiyu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but couldn't help but smile, "Dad, mom is very good to me, and my brothers and sisters are all good to me, so dad doesn't have to worry."

Lin Ruhai sighed with emotion, "That's good, that's good! Dad, thanks to the emperor's grace this time, has been transferred to the capital. In the future, you can come to pay your respects to Mrs. Xue, and it will be convenient for you to play with the sisters."

Lin Daiyu wiped her tears for a moment, then remembered that her father had been transferred to the capital, and she could no longer rely on the Xue family——

"Our house in Beijing has already been prepared. Go and kowtow to your wife, thank you for taking care of her, and follow me home first."

Lin Ruhai said and handed over to Yu Xin again, "Logically speaking, I should go and thank my wife in person, but it is inconvenient to stay at home, so I hope Master Yu will convey it to Lin."

Yu Xin nodded, "Uncle Lin, you're welcome."

Lin Daiyu looked at Yu Xin and then at Xue Baobao, her eyes red again.

She was naturally happy when her father came to take her home, but she couldn't bear to leave here.

Xue Baobao was also very reluctant to say goodbye and said with a forced smile, "Come, I will accompany you to say goodbye to my wife.

We have also visited your Lin family's house, which is only a few blocks away.

There is no need to take away the things here. If you want to come back for a visit in the future, come over at any time and I will ask my brother to pick you up."

Lin Daiyu held back her tears and agreed, saying goodbye to Mrs. Xue without mentioning it.

……

……

After Lin Daiyu left, Xue Baobao was depressed for several days. Yu Xin searched everywhere for novel and interesting objects to make her happy.

Xue Baobao was both funny and angry, "Brother, I'm just not used to it. I'll be fine in a few days. You mess with these things every day and you still think I'm a child!"

Yu Xin raised the machine bird in his hand, took out his pocket watch and showed it to her, "You played with it for 37 minutes before letting go."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Do you want your timing to be so accurate?

Yu Xin clicked his tongue, "You said you're not a child, how old is Lin Daiyu now?

She is only thirteen years old. You play so well with her and you still have endless things to say every day. How can I believe that you are not a child anymore? "

Xue Baobao, "..."

Xue Baobao became angry and said, "If you came here specifically to humiliate me, you can leave now."

Yu Xin leaned on the armchair in an awkward position, stretched out his hand, "Here comes a plate of cherries to eat."

The cherries produced in the space are each as big as a quail egg, crystal clear, and so brightly red that you just want to swallow them in one bite!

She watched while others ate. Naturally, this kind of thing could not happen to Xue Baobao.

So, naturally, Xue Baobao picked a large plate of cherries from the space and gnawed them together with Yu Xin.

The sweet juice of the cherry exploded in his mouth, and Yu Xin sighed with satisfaction, "This space of yours is really a good thing."

"That is!"

Xue Baobao ate without raising his head, then suddenly remembered, "By the way, plants outside can't survive growing in the space, but plants in the space can survive growing outside.

There are potatoes and potatoes in my space that are not available in the Red Mansion World, but can be grown in large areas and are enough to satisfy your hunger. Someday you can think of a way to bring them out.

There are often famines in this era, so those things can always be useful."

Yu Xin glanced at her sideways, "That's right. You've made progress. You know you care about the country and the people!"
