Chapter 235 Gifts for Straight Men (please subscribe)

At the same time, a group of strong men came to the Lin family.

They kept unloading heavy boxes from the carriage.

Under the watchful eyes of Old Butler Lin and the Lin family guards, the boxes were spliced ​​together on the flat bluestone floor to form an exquisite sand table with a length and width of two meters square.

Seeing the model of the farm displayed on the exquisite sand table, the servants of the Lin family couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Really, the sand table is too exquisitely made.

The houses, fields, trees, creeks, windmills and waterwheels in the farm are all the same as the real ones, but they have been reduced countless times.

"Old housekeeper, this is a gift from my master Huan to Miss Lin!"

The strong man in charge of delivering the gifts raised his hands and said, "The gifts have been delivered. Let's say goodbye and leave now. There's no need to send them!"

After saying that, he led a group of companions and strode away following the carriage.

"Hurry up and ask the lady to come over, or have the sand table be sent to the middle courtyard!"

Manager Lin didn't care about these strong men leaving. His mind was completely attracted by the exquisite sand table, and he hurriedly called the Lin family servants to come over and help.

With great difficulty, the heavy and delicate sand table was completely moved to the flower hall in the central courtyard.

At this time, many servants and maids of the Lin family saw it, and they were all attracted by the exquisite sand table.

"Miss is here, Miss is here, everyone, get out of the way!"

Within a moment, Lin Daiyu came over with Zicuckoo and Xueyan, and walked to the front from the gap given by the maids. "What's going on? Who made this sand table? It's so exquisite!"

At this time, the old housekeeper Lin came over and drove away the curious maids around, and then whispered: "Miss, this sand table was sent by Master Huan, saying it was a gift for the lady!"

"I'm not familiar with him, why do you want to send him a gift suddenly?"

Lin Daiyu spoke subconsciously, but suddenly her cheeks turned red as she thought of something, and she couldn't say anything else. Her mood was a little complicated for a while.

"Miss, this gift from Master Huan is quite unique!"

Old Butler Lin said with a smile: "Look carefully, it's just like the real thing!"

Lin Daiyu's eyes were indeed attracted by the scene on the exquisite sand table, and her big smart eyes were full of love.

"Miss, in addition to the sand table, there is also a letter!"

At this time, Butler Lin handed over a letter with a joking smile on his face.

Lin Daiyu suppressed her shyness and took the letter and opened it directly. The content inside made her feel a little bit happy.

Naturally, it was a letter written by Jia Huan. He bluntly stated that he had no talent in literature, so he would not be embarrassed in front of Sister Lin.

He knew that Sister Lin lived in the back house all year round and was very curious about the outside world.

Therefore, he asked someone to specially make an exquisite sand table for Sister Lin.

He also informed that the scenes in the sand table were all real and were made according to the Rong Mansion at a farm outside the city.

It can be said that what is on the sand table also exists in reality, it is a miniature version of the farm.

If Sister Lin finds it fun, it can be used as a way to understand the outside world.

In addition, if Sister Lin has ideas about the layout of the farm in the sand table, she can modify it herself and then draw pictures of the modified sand table. He wants to see it with his own eyes.

In order to give Sister Lin a better hands-on idea, two related books were specially presented as gifts.

One is "Tiangong Kaiwu" written by Song Yingxing in the former Ming Dynasty, and the other is "Mengxi Bi Tan" written by Shen Kuo in the Song Dynasty!

There was only so much content in the letter, and there was no mention of marriage, let alone emotional issues. Lin Daiyu, who was a little worried, breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help but chuckle.

Just as the old housekeeper said, the gift from Jia Huan was very unique and she liked it very much!

In particular, Jia Huan also asked her to renovate the farm on the sand table, which suited Lin Daiyu's eagerness to move. She felt that Jia Huan's younger brother still had some merits.

If it were done now, Jia Huan's behavior would be completely straight, and he would not be able to get a girlfriend.

But the world of Red Mansions is different, Lin Daiyu is also extraordinary!

How could a rather artistic girl like Lin Daiyu not yearn for the vast world outside?

Unfortunately, due to his status, it is simply impossible to go out and see the beautiful scenery easily.

Lin Daiyu is not a lay scholar in Yi'an, and the constraints on women in the Daqian Dynasty were much stronger than those in the Song Dynasty.

Even if she has thoughts and ideas, she can't go out and wander around and leave a piece of film titles and articles.

In short, Lin Daiyu was quite satisfied with the exquisite sand table gift that Jia Huan suddenly sent.

As for "Tiangong Kaiwu" and "Mengxi Bi Tan", they were books that she had basically never read before, so she could spend some time reading them.

Not to mention Lin Daiyu, Zijuan and Xueyan also had their eyes shining when they saw the exquisite sand table.

What girl doesn't like to play house?

So, Lin Daiyu and her two maids happily enjoyed the unique scenery of the exquisite sand table, while intensely discussing the current improvement plan for the sand table.

The crisp sound of chirping is full of the girl’s happy mood!

Old Butler Lin saw this scene with a face full of joy, and was quite satisfied with Jia Huan in his heart.

When has my young lady been so happy in the house?

Even though I am in good health, I am never so lively and happy.

When Lin Ruhai came back from the Yamen, she was very amused when she saw the exquisite sand table and two books given to Lin Daiyu by Jia Huan. She knew that this kid was really a thief.

But when he saw his daughter throwing herself on the exquisite sand table with joy, she didn't say anything more.

He is naturally happy to see things happen between children. I originally thought that Jia Huan was far inferior to Jia Baoyu in this aspect, but I didn't expect that he was also very powerful.

In comparison, Jia Baoyu seems not to be serious yet, has he ever given anything to his daughter?

The balance that was already tilted in my heart was even more tilted now.

Even after dinner, he accompanied his daughter with great interest and had a serious discussion on how to improve the farm with its exquisite sand table demonstration.

Lin Ruhai was quite surprised when he saw the farm on the sand table.

If the farm on the sand table is real, then Jia Huan's business ability is really not that great, but he is definitely quite powerful.

"Master, our Lin family's village outside the city is not as good as the farm on the sand table!"

The old housekeeper was always by his side. Seeing that Lin Ruhai was interested in the farm on the sand table, he spoke.

Lin Ruhai just nodded silently and said nothing. He naturally understood this.

When it comes to the control over his own industry, Lin Ruhai naturally surpasses the second master Zheng by dozens of blocks.

Lin Ruhai would visit the Lin family's farm outside the city several times a year after returning to the capital.

At least in terms of the environment and the level of development of the farm, the Lin Family Farm is naturally inferior to the farm shown on the sand table. I just don’t know if it is true or not?

Lin Daiyu didn't care about this, and kept chatting lively by the sand table with her two maids until she felt sleepy, and then she agreed to go to bed.

Soon, both Lin Daiyu and Xue Yan fell asleep.

The maid Zicuckoo, who had followed from Rong Mansion, was a little unable to sleep at this time.

This loyal maid's mood at this time was much more agitated than her calm appearance.

She never expected that Jia Huan, who had always been a transparent and inconspicuous person in Rong Mansion, would be so bold as to give Lin Daiyu a gift, and he was also quite fond of Lin Daiyu.

She can naturally guess what he wants to do!

But the problem is that the old lady in the mansion has always had the idea of ​​​​bringing together Mr. Bao and Miss Lin.

It's not difficult to guess what the old lady was thinking. Even girls have some feelings, but it's hard to say them out.

Moreover, Mr. Bao is also very interested in girls, and they can be said to be a golden boy and girl.

The most important thing is that Second Master Bao is highly valued in Rong Mansion, and with the concubine Yuan in the palace, his future future will not be any worse. How can Third Master Huan compare with him?

She didn't know where Mr. Huan got the confidence to give gifts to his young lady.

However, her own lady liked it quite a lot and did not refuse strictly, which puzzled her very much.

What is even more difficult to understand is the attitude of the Lin family master, as if he is 'happy to see it succeed'?

Doesn't Mr. Lin know that Mr. Bao will have a prosperous future? Obviously not.

The master of the Lin family never shows off his authority at home, but with his status as a second-rank official, Zijuan will not think that he cannot understand the thoughts of the third master Huan.

In other words, the Lin family master has no objection!

How can this work!

Even if it is for the sake of the young lady, Mr. Huan should not be included?

It's a pity that the young lady doesn't know when she will go to Rong Mansion, and she has no way to deliver the news.

I hid the matter in my heart and fell asleep in a daze until late at night.

Naturally, Jia Huan didn't know that Zijuan, the eldest maid next to Lin Daiyu, was very worried about his poaching behavior.

If she knew, she would definitely tell her not to think too much. Some things are not as simple as they seem.

The so-called ‘Hui Zijuan’ is actually just like that!

After all, as a son of a Rongfu family, and having stayed in Rongqing Hall for a while, the impact on him was really great.

Although in the story of Red Mansions, this person is quite protective of Lin Daiyu's interests, but it's a pity that his views are affected by the atmosphere of Rongfu, and it doesn't feel appropriate.

In the feudal era, when a wealthy family married a wife, there was a rule that before getting married, the man was not allowed to have a married woman, let alone have children.

But Jia Baoyu and even Lin Daiyu knew that the relationship between him and Xi Ren was unclear.

Of course, Lin Daiyu must have been affected by the atmosphere of Rongfu, so she didn't care much about it.

The problem here is not small. It can only be said that the old lady did not fulfill her duties.

At least, he didn't teach Lin Daiyu and Sanchun, some girls from wealthy families, things they should know.

Naturally, Jia Huan couldn't take a mere Zicuckoo to heart.

Even if Zijuan follows Lin Daiyu to Rong Mansion and tells the story, so what?

The old lady could no longer suppress others with her filial piety, and her restraint on him, a member of the branch clan, was pitifully small.

If Jia Huan relied on Rong Mansion for survival, he would have to show enough respect and even fawn over him.

It's a pity that Jia Huan doesn't rely on Rong Mansion for food. The most the old lady can do is ask Mr. Zheng to suppress Jia Huan.

The current second master Zheng is not a foolish and filial man who just acts as the old lady says. Especially when dealing with Jia Huan's problem, he should at least think about it for a while.

As long as he hesitates, the disciples around him will come forward to help Jia Huan.

Of course, if things really develop to that point, it will not be a good thing for anyone.

At the same time that Lin Daiyu received the unique gift from Jia Huan, in Ning Mansion, most of the Jia family in the capital were also invited to hold a clan meeting.
