The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Wang Xifeng thought after hearing the words: "Well, this girl is not a good talker, I'd better not provoke her."

...

Here, Ping'er led a few people to the yard, Yuanyang asked her: "Ping'er, who is that pearl? Why doesn't she even listen to your words?"

Ping'er smiled bitterly and said, "That's what Pearl is like. In the mansion over there, she only listens to Third Master and Miss Lin, and no one else can control her."

Xiren asked curiously: "Where did she come from? How can she know martial arts?"

Ping'er: "She was brought back from Jinling by the third master. Seeing her high martial arts skills, Miss Lin asked the third master to be her bodyguard."

Yuanyang laughed and said, "Your third master really dotes on Miss Lin so much that he is willing to give her such a powerful girl."

Ping'er laughed and said: "In the mansion over there, everyone knows that the third master dotes on girls more than his aunts."

Yuanyang jokingly said: "The third master dotes on you very much, last time for you, it was the first time he was scolded by the old lady."

Amber hurriedly asked: "There is another matter, please tell us quickly,"

Ping'er said with embarrassment: "Are you guys finished yet?"

Amber: "I didn't play, I finally caught you once, how can I spare you lightly."

"That's right, you can't spare her lightly."

Chapter 211: Fuxi Guqin

Forest garden, inner study.

Lin Yun leaned on the bamboo chair, flipping through a gift list in his hand.

Although there were not many congratulators on the day of the wedding, many families sent their servants to give gifts. Even Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

The concubine and concubine in the palace, the great eunuch Dai Quan, the king of Beijing Shui Rong, the king of Wu Ningke, the marquis of Zhongjing Shi Ding, and the left guard Qin Rong of the Beijing camp also sent congratulatory gifts.

What surprised him the most was that Niu Jizong also sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. This man had a relationship with him, and the two parties were neither related nor related, so how could he give him a gift?

Lin Yun put down the gift list and pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out what the other party meant.

...

Just as he was engrossed in his thoughts, he saw Xiaoya walking in with a tray, and smiled at him, "Third Master, this servant made a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, please give it to me."

After Xiaoya finished speaking, she walked slowly to the table and squatted down, put the tray on the table, took out a plate of pastries and tea from it, and placed it in front of Lin Yun.

Lin Yun picked up a piece of pastry, glanced at it and asked, "Is there no poison in it?"

Xiao Ya said angrily: "The servant and the third master have no grievances or enmity, why do you want to harm you?"

Lin Yun took a bite of the pastry and said, "It's hard to say. The Bai family was brought down by me and my uncle. Who knows if you will avenge them."

Xiaoya said dissatisfiedly: "Although the maidservant knows that the third master is joking, but listening to these words always makes people unhappy, please be merciful to the third master."

"Okay, then I won't talk about it."

Xiaoya said again: "The third master is married now, can I be your maid now?"

"I mean what I say, and this study will be under your control from now on."

"Thank you, Third Master!"

After a pause, Xiaoya said again: "Third Master, let me play a tune for you."

Lin Yun asked suspiciously, "I don't have a guqin here, what do you use to play it?"

"There is a piano over there, servant girl, please wait for a moment, I will go back to the house to get it."

...

A moment later, Xiaoya came back with a guqin in her arms, and smiled at Lin Yun: "When I left the White Mansion, the servant didn't take anything, so I took this guqin with me."

"Oh, is there something special about this piano?"

"This Guqin is called Fuxi, and it was made by Mr. Lei Wei, the piano host during the Tianbao period. There are four surviving ones, and this is one of them."

While talking, Xiaoya placed the guqin on the case table, then sat on the floor, and asked Lin Yun, "What song does the third master want to hear?"

Lin Yun thought for a while, and said, "Let's play the phoenix and seek the phoenix."

Xiaoya pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her hand to caress the strings, and began to play.

Lin Yun had listened to this song Fengqiuhuang twice, once by Miss Piao Miao, and the other time by Miss Liu.In addition, this time, although the three girls played the same piece, each had its own characteristics, and he couldn't tell which one was good and which was bad.

...

At this moment, Qin Keqing, accompanied by Daiyu, Xiangling, several maidservants and mother-in-law, is familiarizing herself with the buildings in Linyuan.

Several people walked near the study, and happened to hear the sound of the piano coming from the study.

Qin Keqing asked curiously: "Who is playing the piano?"

Daiyu listened carefully, and then said: "This man's qin skill is very good. There is only one person in our house who can have this kind of qin skill."

Xiang Ling smiled and said: "I knew it as soon as the girl said it, it must be that cook Xiaoya."

Qin Keqing hurriedly asked, "Who is Xiaoya?"

Brother Ying: "Grandma, Xiaoya is a cook, she was brought back from Yangzhou by the third master, and she wants to be the third master's maid."

Daiyu: "I think it's fake that she wants to be a maid, but it's true that she wants to be brother's concubine. Sister-in-law, you have to be careful with her."

Qin Keqing hurriedly said: "Go, let's go and have a look."

Everyone came outside the study, and saw that the door of the study was open, and there were a man and a woman sitting inside, it was Lin Yun and Xiaoya.

Seeing the crowd coming in surrounded by Qin Keqing and Daiyu, Xiaoya got up quickly, and bowed to Qin Keqing and Daiyu, "My maidservant greets grandma and miss."

Lin Yun also stood up and smiled, "Keqing, Yu'er, why are you here?"

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Sister Yu'er led the concubine in the garden to familiarize herself with the environment. We heard someone playing the piano here, so we came over to have a look."

Daiyu smiled at Lin Yun and said, "Brother, what song were you listening to just now?"

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "I don't know anything about qin music, I just listen to it for fun."

Xiangling: "I know, this piece is called Fengqiuhuang, I have practiced it before."

Daiyu laughed provocatively and said, "Feng Qiuhuang, this name sounds very nice. Brother, don't you think so?"

"Okay."

Lin Yun stepped forward and supported Qin Keqing to sit down beside the desk, and asked him, "Keqing, can you play the piano?"

Qin Keqing nodded and said: "I can only play a little bit, not as good as this girl."

Xiaoya said modestly: "The servant girl's piano skills are also very ordinary."

At this moment, Daiyu noticed the guqin on the desk, and she hurriedly stepped forward, raised her hand to stroke the piano a few times, and asked, "Is this the Fuxi Qin made by Lei Wei, a master Qin maker in the Tang Dynasty?"

Xiaoya asked in surprise, "How did the girl know?"

"It was my husband who told me that he also has the same Fuxi guqin, and there are four small seal script characters engraved on the top of Longchi."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she turned the guqin over, and saw four small characters in seal script engraved on the top of the hole below.

Lin Yun praised: "Sister is really knowledgeable, she even knows this."

Daiyu said shyly, "I've heard what my husband said."

Lin Yun: "I've never heard my sister play the piano, how about you play a piece for us now?"

"This~"

Daiyu turned her head to look at Xiaoya, and seeing that the other party nodded to her in agreement, she sat cross-legged beside the table and asked Lin Yun, "What song do you want to hear, brother?"

Lin Yun thought for a while, and said, "When will Su Shi's water melody song head and the bright moon come out? Can my sister play it?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "Master taught me that if I play badly, please don't laugh at me, brother and sister-in-law."

Qin Keqing hurriedly said: "Sister, just play it well, we all love to listen to it."

"Thank you sister-in-law."

Daiyu calmed down, raised her hand and gently plucked the strings, and began to play.

Lin Yun's mind was not on the piano, he sneaked a glance at Xiaoya, and saw that she was staring intently at Daiyu's fingers playing the piano, not peeping at Qin Keqing at all.

He thought to himself: "I guessed wrong, or is this Xiaoya too clever?"

Xiaoya was laughing secretly in her heart at the moment, how could Lin Yun's carelessness escape her eyes, if she made such a low-level mistake, she might have died hundreds of times earlier.

...

After Daiyu finished playing, she yelled at Lin Yunjiao, "Elder brother didn't listen to me playing the piano seriously."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "I listened carefully, but I just don't quite understand it."

Daiyu thought: "Just now you were clearly peeking at Xiaoya, and you still wanted to lie to me."

However, the new sister-in-law was sitting next to her, so it was difficult for her to expose Lin Yun's lies.

Lin Yun changed the subject and said, "Sister, I want to find a chance to take over Sister Xiangyun, how about being with you?"

When Daiyu heard this, she said happily: "That's great, brother will pick him up tomorrow."

"Uh, don't be so anxious, right?"

Qin Keqing asked curiously: "Who is sister Xiangyun?"

Daiyu: "Sister Xiangyun is the granddaughter of our ancestors in Rongguo Mansion. Her parents died not long after she was born, and she has been living with her uncle and aunt."

"That's it! Then let's prepare a room for her first, and then pick her up after it's done. Sister, do you think it's okay?"

"Ok."

Lin Yun: "I think we should find a small courtyard near the west, where Xiangyun sister can live, so that I can be closer to Yu'er."

Daiyu said happily, "I'll go and look for it right now, and pick the one that suits me."

Qin Keqing stood up and said, "I'll go with my sister."

"Thank you sister-in-law!"
