The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Lin Yun shook his head helplessly. He was about to comfort Parrot, but the little maid suddenly hugged his neck and raised her head to kiss his lips.

Lin Yun laughed secretly: "This girl was provoked by Xiangling and became angry from embarrassment."

However, he was naturally happy to accept the little beauty's passionate kiss.

When the two were lingering, they suddenly heard Daiyu's voice from outside, "Xiangling, where is brother?"

Xiangling: "Girl, the third master is bathing inside."

Daiyu: "Where's Brother Parrot? Tell her to tell her elder brother that I have something to do with him, and tell him to hurry up."

"Sister Parrot is inside."

"what!"

Daiyu exclaimed, but then fell silent.

Brother Parrot panicked and said, "Third Master, what should we do now?"

Lin Yun: "I'll go out first, and I'll ask Xiangling to bring you clothes later."

"Then tell her to hurry up."

"Ok."

Chapter 195: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop

Lin Yun came to the living room and saw Daiyu sitting behind the desk drinking tea, with Furong and Xueyan standing next to her.

He walked up to Daiyu and asked with a smile, "My sister came to see me, is there something wrong?"

Daiyu put down her teacup and asked, "I heard from Pearl that when my brother returns to Beijing this time, Aunt Xue's family will also be with you, right?"

Lin Yun asked curiously, "Why do you care about this?"

Daiyu: "I heard that there is a sister Bao in Aunt Xue's family. She is very beautiful. Brother must have seen her before, right?"

Lin Yun suddenly realized: "Sister wants to see that Sister Bao, right?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "Is it possible?"

Lin Yun thought for a while and said, "Sister Baochai lives in Rongguo Mansion. If my aunt agrees, I can send you there."

Daiyu sipped her jealousy and said: "Sister Baochai, brother is very close to her."

"I don't call her Sister Baochai, do I call her Miss Baochai?"

Lin Yun complained, then walked to another table and sat down, and ordered to Furong: "Fu Rong, go and pour me a cup of tea."

"Yes, third master."

Daiyu said dissatisfiedly: "My brother ordered my maid again."

Lin Yun said speechlessly: "Isn't it just asking her to pour a cup of tea?"

"Then why don't you let Xueyan pour the tea?"

"Uh,"

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "Furong is older, so she is easy to handle."

"Hmph! Brother opened his eyes and said nonsense."

Lin Yun hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Sister, has Sister Xiangyun visited the mansion recently?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "No, you are not here, and no one came to pick her up. However, last time Baoyu's elder brother celebrated his birthday, I saw her in the mansion over there."

At this time, Fu Rong came over with a teacup and handed it to Lin Yun, "Third Master, please drink tea."

Lin Yun took the teacup and asked, "Furong, how many words do you know?"

Fu Rong: "I don't know how much I know, about two or three hundred characters."

"Yes, there is progress."

"Thank you, Third Master, for your compliment."

Lin Yun smiled at Daiyu again and said, "Sister, do you want to accept another disciple?"

Daiyu hurriedly asked: "Who is it? Xiangling or Pearl?"

"It's Xiangling. She likes reading very much, but unfortunately I don't have time to teach her. My sister is free, can you teach her for me?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Yes. But, brother, you owe me a favor."

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Keep this favor first, and let you pay it back when I think about it later."

"Okay, I'll note it down."

Daiyu suddenly remembered and said, "Brother, what happened to that cook Xiaoya?"

"Uh,"

Lin Yun asked in surprise, "Is she still working as a cook in our house?"

"Here."

Daiyu asked curiously: "Xiao Yaqin, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient in everything, why did my brother let her be a cook?"

Lin Yun didn't answer but asked: "Did my sister ever hear her play the piano?"

"I've heard it. My mother has heard it too, and she praised her for her excellent piano skills. My mother also wanted her to be a maid in the room, but she refused. She also said that she only wanted to be your maid."

"Really? I really underestimated her."

Daiyu said again: "Brother, Xiaoya is very powerful at chess. She asked me to add one piece to the other, but I couldn't beat her."

"She is older than you and has been trained. It's nothing to be better than you. When you reach her age, you will definitely be able to surpass her."

"How does brother plan to arrange her? You can't let her be a cook all the time."

Lin Yun frowned and said, "Sister, what do you think I should do with her?"

Daiyu said without hesitation: "Let her be my maid, and I will watch her for you."

Lin Yun said speechlessly: "She doesn't even want to be a maid in her aunt's room, so why would she be your maid?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "I have a solution. Brother can play against her. If she loses, she will be my servant girl. If she wins, she will be your servant girl."

Lin Yun glared at Daiyu and said, "Bad idea, what should I do if she wins?"

Daiyu said in confusion: "Brother can give me three sons, how can he lose to her?"

Lin Yun reminded: "She let you add one child first, which may not be her true level. If you don't expect victory, you will predict defeat first, so it can never go wrong."

Daiyu nodded again and again, and said, "Brother is still smart, I almost neglected it."

...

At this moment, Yingge led Xiangling and Pearl into the room, and asked Lin Yun, "Master, where do Xiangling and Miss Pearl live?"

Daiyu hurriedly said: "I have a lot of houses over there, let them live in my place first, and then move to Linyuan after a while, and then arrange it again."

Lin Yun thought for a moment and said, "Let Pearl go live with Yu'er, while Xiangling stays and lives with Yingge."

Pearl hurriedly said, "Okay."

Daiyu was also secretly happy that she would be satisfied if Pearl could pass by.

Lin Yun told Brother Ying again: "You go to Steward Qian, if you need anything, let him fix it."

Brother Parrot: "I've already made an agreement with Steward Qian in the morning, and I'll have him deliver it later."

Lin Yun: "There is also the servant I brought, and I have to tell him to make arrangements."

"Ok."

Daiyu stood up, smiled at Pearl, and said, "Pearl, I'll take you to pick a room."

"Ok."

Lin Yun looked at Daiyu and Zhenzhu, and said to himself, "What's the matter with these two? Pearl just came here today, so how come she and Sister Lin are as good as sisters."

After Daiyu and the others left, Lin Yun told Brother Ying, "Go and call Xiaoya to see me."

Parrot was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then replied: "Yes."

...

Not long after, Xiaoya, dressed as a cook, walked in behind Ying Ge, bowed to Lin Yun and said, "My slave, I pay my respects to the third master."

Lin Yun took a careful look, and saw that Xiaoya was no different from the one he saw last time, her skin was still as snowy, and she was extremely glamorous.

He told Yingge: "You take Xiangling down first, I have something to say to Miss Xiaoya."

"Yes."

Brother Ying led Xiangling out and even covered the door.

Lin Yun looked at Xiaoya and asked, "How's it going? Can you still keep doing it?"

Xiaoya smiled and said: "Although being a cook is very hard, as long as I can stay with the third master, the slave family will feel very happy."

"It's been hard work. I see you are still as beautiful as a flower. Where is your hard work?"

Xiaoya stretched out her hands, and said with an aggrieved face: "The hands of this servant were originally slender and tender, but now they are much rougher."

Lin Yun said with a smile: "You regret it now, you are in a hurry."

Xiaoya said stubbornly: "As long as I can stay with Third Master, I am willing to do anything."

"Really? Then you go to Yu'er's room and be her maid."

Xiaoya said anxiously: "This servant only wants to be the third master's maid."

Lin Yun said jokingly: "You want to be my concubine?"

Xiaoya shook her head and said: "This servant only wants to be the third master's maid, and has no other plans."

Lin Yun suddenly raised his face and said: "I have sent someone to investigate clearly. You are not the niece of Mrs. Cai's natal family. Be honest, who are you? What is the purpose of approaching me?"

Xiaoya said with a full face of grievance: "Third Master, you look so scary, this servant is timid, don't scare me, okay."

Lin Yun was immediately discouraged, and he thought to himself: "This girl is really reckless, it's really hard to get the truth out of her mouth."
