The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Thinking this way in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out. He had seen Lin Yun's strengths and weaknesses yesterday. If he heard this, he might kick him out.

Jia Lian smiled at Lin Yun as he walked, "Brother Yun, there is a box of perfume in the gift my aunt gave yesterday. I heard that it was made by your workshop. Is this true?"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "It's my younger brother who was tinkered with. If Brother Lian likes it, I'll send you two more boxes to take back with you."

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Brother Yun, don't get me wrong, I just want to ask you, do you want to open a perfume shop in the capital?"

"Oh, second brother Lian is also interested in doing business?"

"Brother Yun, you don't know, don't look at our Rongguo family's big business, but brother is just doing odd jobs for the elders in the family. If there is no income, I have to worry about the lack of money all day long."

"Really? My younger brother didn't plan to open a shop here. Since the second brother Lian is interested, let's take some time and make a good calculation."

Jia Lian said happily, "Thank you, Brother Yun."

Baoyu frowned when he heard it, feeling that the two of them had fallen into Qian's eyes.However, the perfume they mentioned seems to be a good thing, why didn't I receive it yesterday, I went back to Sister Yuanyang to ask for clarification.

...

Lin's backyard,

Jia Min got up a bit late, and after sending pomegranate to Lin Yun's apprenticeship gift, Jia Min asked the maid to call her daughter, and the mother and daughter sat together for breakfast.

Hearing that Jia Lian and Baoyu came to visit, Jia Min asked the maid to remove the tableware and led Daiyu to meet in the living room.

After Jia Lian saluted with Baoyu, he conveyed Jia Mu's intention to Jia Min.

In addition to giving Lin Yun a little maid, Jia Mu also gave Daiyu a red feather gauze veil and a white fox lining crane cloak.A lot of daily necessities were also given away. Although they were not worth much money, they saved us from having to send people out to buy them.

Jia Min called Yingge in and asked a few words, then left Lin Yun behind, and naturally accepted the gift for Daiyu.

When Yingge heard that Jia Min agreed to stay with him, his heart finally fell safely.Daiyu pursed her lips, feeling that her grandmother, like her mother, valued her elder brother more than herself.

Just when Daiyu was secretly jealous, Lin Yun said to Jia Min: "Auntie, my nephew may go to the academy to study, it's not convenient for Brother Ying to follow me, let her serve sister Yu'er."

Daiyu was secretly happy when she heard that, just now she felt that this parrot was better than Zijuan and Xueyan, it would be great if it could be placed in her room.

Baoyu stared at Lin Yun with wide eyes, thinking: "Is this guy a fool? You don't want a maid as good as Brother Ying, and you go to read some books. You are really stupid, stupid, and stupid."

Brother Ying's eyes turned red when he heard that Lin Yun didn't want him.

Jia Min scolded Lin Yun: "What are you talking about? How can you let the maid in your brother's house serve your sister? Wouldn't it be a violation of the rules? Let's do this. When you go to the academy to study, Yingge will go Yu'er will stay with Zijuan, and Xueyan will stay with you. When you come back, let her go over and serve you."

"My nephew respects my life."

Daiyu pursed her lips, and said in her heart: "Brother is not sincere at all. He just said he would give Brother Parrot to someone else, but in a blink of an eye he's gone. It doesn't matter what you say."

Parrot heard the conversation between the two, and didn't know whether she was happy or worried. She stood in the hall numbly, feeling that this young nephew was so strange, how could he be different from the master at Rongguo Mansion.

At this moment, a servant girl came in from outside the door and reported to Jia Min: "Ma'am, there is a sister-in-law Lai at the Rongguo Mansion asking to see you."

The original text comes from Ta&Read novels~&

Hearing this, Jia Min thought to herself: "The old lady just sent Brother Lian here, why~"

Nanny Liu stood up and said, "Madam, let me go out to meet you."

"Go."

...

Not long after, Mammy Liu led everyone Lai in from the door. Behind the two of them was a very beautiful little maid, who seemed to be only in her early ten years old.

When Baoyu saw the little maid, his eyes straightened, and he thought to himself, if this maid could be kept in my room, it would be great.

Everyone Lai stepped forward and saluted Jia Min: "Slave maid, send my regards to my aunt."

Jia Min raised his hand to help, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Lai, why do you come here when you have time?"

Lai everyone: "Returning to my aunt, my mother-in-law said that my aunt had just arrived in the capital, and there must be a shortage of girls around her, so she thought about sending the magpie trained by her old man to use by my aunt. It is also outstanding, and it is most suitable to be used by my aunt's side."

Jia Min: "How can this happen? Please ask Mrs. Lai to go back and thank the aunt for me. I definitely can't have this girl."

Sister-in-law Lai knelt down and said: "My aunt Laixi can forgive him for doing such shameless things. Now it's nothing to accept a maid. If my aunt doesn't accept him, what face will the servant have to go back to her mother-in-law? Cross."

Hearing what Mrs. Lai said, Jia Min couldn't refuse, so she agreed to accept the magpie.

Seeing that Jia Min accepted the maid, Mrs. Lai showed a look of joy on her face. She quickly asked the magpie to come forward to salute Jia Min, chatted with her for a few more words, and then took the initiative to leave.

After Mrs. Lai left, Baoyu looked at Magpie with a good eye, and said to herself, this maid looks a bit prettier than Brother Parrot, even the big maid Xiren in his room can't compare.

Baoyu thought to herself, what excuse should I find to ask my aunt for this maid.

He was about to ask Jia Min for some money, but Daiyu spoke first, "Mother, brother already has a parrot in the house, so you can let the magpie follow your daughter."

Jia Min smiled and said, "Since you're interested, then let her work in your house."

Daiyu said happily, "Thank you, mother!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Yun and said in her heart, "My magpie is much more outstanding than your parrot."

Baoyu, on the other hand, was bewildered. Sister Lin has also taken a fancy to Magpie, so what should he do? Should he compete with Sister Lin?

Lin Yun looked at the magpie, and he was also very surprised. This maid's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Daiyu. Could it be that she is Qingwen?

He was wondering, but he heard Jia Min telling him again: "Brother Yun, it's getting late, you should hurry to the academy."

"Yes, nephew retire."

Chapter 38: Too Smart

After Lin Yun left, Jia Min asked Daiyu to lead Parrot and Magpie to rest in her room.

Baoyu hurriedly begged Jia Min: "Auntie, I want to play with my sister too."

Jia Min nodded and smiled, "Yu'er, then you can take Brother Baoyu to play together."

"Yes, mother."

Daiyu agreed, but stretched out her hand to hold the parrot and the magpie, followed by the snow geese, and walked out the door together.

Baoyu hurriedly caught up and shouted: "Sister, wait for me."

After the younger ones had gone out, Jia Min winked at Nanny Liu beside her again.

Seeing this, Grandma Liu quickly left the door with a few maidservants.

When there was no one in the room, Jia Min asked Jia Lian, "Lian'er, does the old lady have something for you to bring to me?"

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "The old ancestor asked me to tell my aunt that she already knew what you were worried about, and the old ancestor also asked you to find a suitable opportunity to meet Princess Beijing."

Jia Min nodded silently, and then said: "Go back and tell the old lady, I will write down what she said."

"Ok."

Jia Min then asked, "Has Baoyu entered school?"

"He hasn't entered school yet, the old lady said Brother Bao is still young, and she wants to keep him in the mansion for a few more years."

Jia Minxiu frowned slightly and said: "It's not good to be too spoiled, boys, it's only reasonable to let them out to see the world."

"Auntie, you dare to say that. The master wanted Brother Bao to study in the family school many times, but the ancestor stopped him."

Jia Min felt that the old lady was too indulgent towards Baoyu, but after all, she was only Baoyu's aunt and a married daughter, so it was not easy to get involved in Rongguo Mansion's affairs.

Raising her hand and gently rubbing her temples, Jia Min said again: "Did the old lady mention Brother Yun in front of you?"

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Before coming here, the old lady said something to me."

"Oh, what did the old lady say?"

"The old lady only said one thing, Brother Yun is too smart."

"Huh? Just this sentence?"

"Yes."

Jia Min thought for a moment and then figured out what the old lady meant. She was reminding herself that children who are too smart are difficult to control.

...

Here, Daiyu led Baoyu and the three little maids back to her room, and as soon as she entered the room, she sat down on the kang and told Zijuan to make tea for Baoyu.

Seeing Sister Lin sitting on the kang, Baoyu wanted to sit next to her, but Daiyu reprimanded her with a look of disgust, "Don't you even understand this?"

"Uh."

When Baoyu heard this, his mind was stunned instantly. He had been around every girl at home, and he had never seen anyone say that about him.

Daiyu pointed to the opposite side of the kang table and said, "You should sit over there. My brother always sits like this and talks to me."

Baoyu sat down opposite the kang table helplessly. When he saw a collection of Wang Wei's poems on the table, his eyes lit up and he said, "Your sister also likes to read Wang Mojie's poems?"

Daiyu: "Mr. asked me to read it. He said that reading more poems by Wang Mojie can improve my vision and self-cultivation."

"That's really a coincidence. I also like to read Wang Mojie's poems. When I read posts at home, I often read Wang Mojie's poems."

Daiyu asked casually, "Your husband also asked you to read it?"

Baoyu: "I don't have a husband."

Daiyu said in surprise: "Aren't you older than me? Why~"

Speaking of this, Daiyu recalled Baoyu's throwing of the jade yesterday. She glanced at the piece of jade on Baoyu's collar with a guilty conscience, and thought, "He wouldn't have thrown that thing in my room."

Seeing Daiyu's vigilant eyes, Baoyu understood what the other person was thinking, and he sighed in his heart, "Sister Lin, who is like a fairy, wants to persuade me to go to school. Does she also like those national thieves and lu beetles?" ?”

Thinking that sister Lin might become the kind of person he hates the most, Baoyu suddenly felt that his whole body was not good.

Seeing that his eyes were wrong, Daiyu asked worriedly, "You won't throw jade again, will you?"

Baoyu said as if he had not heard anything: "Sister Lin, you must not imitate your elder brother and become a traitor to the country."

Seeing that Baoyu's expression was wrong, Parrot hurried over and shouted at him, "Second Master Bao, Miss Lin is a girl, how could she go to take the imperial examination?"

Baoyu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, sister Lin is a girl, she doesn't need to take the exam for that Lao Shizi scholar, Juren."

Daiyu looked at Brother Ying and asked, "Is your second master like this at home?"

Brother Parrot: "It's just occasionally. If you don't mention studying and being an official, you'll be fine."

Baoyu didn't want Sister Lin to think about it all the time, so he pointed to Magpie who was chatting with Xueyan and said to Daiyu: "Sister, I think your new maid's name Magpie is too vulgar, why don't we change it for her?" name?"
