The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Daiyu said in embarrassment: "Don't ask nonsense, otherwise, I won't give you jewelry later."

Xueyan hurriedly said: "I won't ask any more."

After a pause, she said again: "Girl, can I let the servants choose a piece of jewelry by themselves?"

Daiyu thought for a while and said, "After I have called Sister Pomegranate, Sister Cherry, and Brother Parrot together, I will let you pick them yourself and pick them in order."

Zijuan: "This method is the fairest, but girls have more ideas."

Daiyu: "Fu Rong, go call Parrot. Xueyan, go call Sister Pomegranate and Sister Cherry."

"Ok."

The two little maids agreed, and then they walked out quickly.

Daiyu asked Zijuan to help her pour tea, and after sending out several maids, she took out the small paper sign from her arms and complained in her mouth: "Bad brother, he asked me if I have been well recently. It’s so disgusting!”

Chapter 1 Seventy: Seeing the beauty

In the early morning, Daiyu got up early, and with the help of Zijuan and Furong, she washed her clothes and adjusted her makeup.

This morning, my mother was going to accompany my uncle to visit Qin's house. She begged her mother for a long time last night before she was allowed to go together.

The two maids were ingenious, and they quickly took care of Daiyu's makeup.

Daiyu looked in the mirror several times before showing a satisfied smile.

At this moment, Xueyan walked in with a food box, and said mysteriously: "Do you know? There is a new cook in our house, named Xiaoya, she is very beautiful, and I heard she can understand poetry Wen, you can play the piano."

Daiyu asked in surprise, "Xueyan, who did you hear that from?"

Xueyan put the food box on the table, and while carrying the dishes from inside, she explained: "I went to the kitchen just now and heard them all say that the new cook is said to be Mrs. Cai's niece. She worked as a maid in the mansion, but was forced into a concubine by old master Bai. After the Bai family was confiscated, sister-in-law Cai asked the third master to rescue her."

Zijuan: "Then why didn't she go home after she was rescued?"

Xueyan: "I heard that I voluntarily stayed here in order to repay our third master's life-saving grace."

Fu Rong laughed mockingly: "I'm afraid it's because I have other thoughts about our third master, so I deliberately want to stay and refuse to leave?"

Xueyan: "I guess so. I heard that on the way to Beijing, that cook named Xiaoya made delicious food in different ways to please Mrs. Heng."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Let's eat quickly, and I'll go to my uncle's side to see who Xiaoya is."

Fu Rong: "If you want me to say, such a vixen with malicious intentions should be kicked out of the house directly."

Daiyu: "After all, that girl is sister-in-law Cai's niece, so it's not easy to kick her out directly."

After a pause, Daiyu said again: "Furong, turn around and remind Yingge, let her pay more attention to that Xiaoya."

Fu Rong hurriedly said, "Okay."

...

After breakfast, Daiyu led Furong and Xueyan to Jia Min's place to greet her parents.As soon as the three girls walked out of the small courtyard, they saw Cherry leading a little maid walking towards them.

Seeing Daiyu, Yingying immediately came up to meet her and said with a smile, "Miss came just in time, I was assigned by my wife, and I am going to look for you."

Daiyu hurriedly asked: "But is there something wrong?"

Cherry: "Second Master Lian and Second Master Bao from Jia's Mansion are here to visit, and my wife asked you to meet them."

"Oh, Brother Lian is back too?"

"Yes."

...

Daiyu walked into Jia Min's living room and saw her parents talking to Jia Lian and Baoyu.

Seeing Daiyu coming in from the door, Baoyu immediately came up to greet her with a smile and said, "Sister Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you all right?"

"Thank you for your concern, second brother. I'm fine."

Daiyu said politely, and then saluted Jia Lian, "Yu'er greets Lian's second brother."

Jia Lian cupped his hands in return and said, "Your sister is welcome."

Lin Ruhai said to Daiyu: "Yu'er, take Baoyu to pay your respects to your uncle. I have a few words for your second brother Lian."

"Ok."

Daiyu responded, and then led Baoyu, Furong and Xueyan back out.

After leaving the house, Baoyu asked Daiyu, "Sister, who is the uncle that uncle mentioned just now?"

Daiyu: "It's my brother's father, who just came from Yangzhou yesterday."

When Baoyu heard that he was Lin Yun's father, he immediately lost interest in asking further questions.

When they came to the place where Lin Yun lived, they happened to see Parrot coming out of the main room.

Seeing Daiyu and Baoyu coming, Brother Ying hurriedly came forward to greet them.

After Brother Ying finished his salute, Daiyu asked him: "Brother Ying, has Uncle had breakfast?"

Parrot raised his hand and pointed to the room, and said softly: "The old man is having breakfast inside."

Daiyu: "Then why aren't you waiting inside?"

Parrot said aggrievedly: "The old man has someone to take care of him."

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Is that the cook named Xiaoya?"

"Ah."

"Come on, let's go in and have a look."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she went straight to the door.

Baoyu asked Yingge curiously, "Brother Ying, who is Xiaoya?"

Furong spoke first: "Xiaoya is the new cook in our house. She is very beautiful and can also recite poetry and play the piano."

"Oh,"

Baoyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately quickened his pace, catching up with Daiyu and walking towards the house.

A few people walked into the living room and saw the old man Lin Heng sitting at the dining table and eating, beside him was a beautiful woman wearing a purple vest with pinched teeth, introducing all kinds of desserts on the table to him.

Daiyu stepped forward quickly, and saluted Lin Heng: "Yu'er greets uncle."

Seeing Daiyu, Lin Heng immediately said cheerfully: "Xiao Yuer, you came just in time. I just feel that eating alone is boring. Come and eat with me."

"Okay."

Daiyu responded, and then remembered that Baoyu was still by her side. She said to Baoyu, "Second brother, come and see uncle."

At this moment Baoyu was looking at the beautiful Xiaoya with a good eye, and he didn't hear what Daiyu said.

Seeing this, Daiyu said angrily, "Second brother, what are you looking at?"

Baoyu woke up like a dream and said, "Sister, what did you just say?"

Daiyu: "I asked you to pay your respects to uncle."

Baoyu hurriedly saluted Lin Heng: "Baoyu greets uncle."

Lin Heng quickly stood up and asked Daiyu, "Could this be the young master of the Jia family who was born with jade?"

Daiyu: "The uncle said that he is the second elder brother Bao who the old lady loves the most."

"It really is the young master of the Jia family, please sit down quickly. Xiaoya, go and bring over two more breakfasts, please Yumaidou and the young master to taste."

Xiaoya said in embarrassment: "Old Master, I have prepared a breakfast for you, there is nothing extra."

"Uh,"

Mrs. Lin was embarrassed now.

Baoyu said hurriedly: "Give me a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and I'll just eat these."

Brother Ying hurriedly said: "Girl and Master Bao, wait a moment, I'll go get the bowls and chopsticks."

...

After Baoyu sat down, he still looked at Xiaoya with good eyes, and said in his heart: "Such a beautiful girl is actually a cook. This is too violent. It would be great if I could take her back home and be my maid." .”

Thinking of this, he asked Xiaoya: "I heard that girl, have you ever read poetry?"

Xiaoya nodded slightly and said, "I have only read a little poetry."

Baoyu: "Your name is Xiaoya, but it comes from Xiaoya in the Book of Songs?"

"It was named by my father, and I don't know where it came from."

After Xiaoya finished speaking, she greeted Lin Heng and said: "Old Master, I have to go back to help the cook, so I will take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, she hurried out without waiting for Lin Heng to nod.

Baoyu raised his hand to stop her from talking, but he forcibly held back.After all, this is the Lin Mansion, and he also knew not to mess around.

Daiyu stared at Baoyu dissatisfied, feeling that this guy really has a bad habit, and it is too much for him to want to moles her maid in front of his uncle.

Fortunately, Parrot brought the bowls and chopsticks in time, breaking the embarrassing situation in front of him.

Chapter 171: Marriage Proposal

Qin Mansion, inner house.

Qin Keqing also got up at dawn, washed and dressed under the service of two little maids, ready to welcome the visiting father-in-law and Lin Yun's aunt.

Yesterday evening, she received a message from someone from the Lin family, saying that Lin Yun's father had come to the capital, and today he was going to visit her father with Lin Yun's aunt Jia Min.

Although she has never met her future father-in-law, she has heard from Lin Yun that the old man is not difficult to get along with.As for Lin Yun's aunt, I heard that she is the direct daughter of Duke Xianrong. She has a noble status and must have a high level of vision. It may not be easy to get her approval.

Qin Keqing finished her breakfast anxiously, and waited for about a cup of tea before a servant came to tell her that the guests from Lin's residence had arrived and the master was receiving them in front, and asked her to prepare and go to see her.

Qin Keqing hurried to Qin Ye's residence with her maid. Along the way, she was still worried about whether the makeup on her face was dirty or not, and whether there was something wrong with the clothes on her body.

After repeated confirmation, she mustered up the courage and walked into the door of the living room.

When she entered the door, she saw her father Qin Ye was drinking tea and chatting with two guests, a man and a woman, at a round table.
