The husband of the Red Chamber is upright

Chapter 9

With Jia Lin reminding me since I was a child, even if Jia Lian lost the serious teaching of his elders, and he really didn't have the talent for reading, it seemed that apart from his status as the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, he was still somewhat mediocre, but at least, He's not as self-righteous as in the original book.Now he doesn't think that Jia's Mansion has any advantage over Lin's Mansion.Even though the Lin family lost a title, Lin Ruhai's official position is only from the fifth rank, but that is the inspector of salt and censor. People must be deeply trusted by the emperor.Once Lin Ruhai's term of office expires, after returning to Beijing, he will definitely be promoted, at least he will be a second-rank official. In addition, he is from a noble background, so he is very noble. I am afraid that it is not impossible to become a minister in the cabinet in the future...

Jia Lian cares a lot about these relationships.He had heard earlier from an old servant in the mansion that before Aunt Min got married, she was closer to her uncle among her father and uncle. Although it is not good for a married woman to interfere in her mother's family affairs, if the second wife has an in-law of the Lin family... since ancient times The in-law relationship is the closest. If the second family gains power, the big family is bound to decline, especially considering that the second family is still so covetous.Jia Lian wished he could yell and fart. What happened to Baoyu? When he was catching Zhou, he caught the rouge box. A few days ago, he went to the old lady's house to say hello, and saw him gnawing the red fat on the girl's mouth. You can tell by age that you will be a lecher in the future... Wait, it's good that Aunt Min is closer to her uncle, but among her biological mother and Mrs. Wang, Aunt Min is closer to her mother.Jia Lian changed his mind, and felt that he should go to Yangzhou more in the future and sell it to Aunt Min.Of course, this is all a matter of the future, if the Lin family is really interested in Baoyu, the most urgent task now is to let them dispel this idea as soon as possible.

One thing is the same as Jia Lin, in Jia Lian's view, these matters involving the inner house really need to be discussed with his wife, so he hastily bid farewell to Jia Lin and went back to the mansion to find Wang Xifeng.

Looking at Jia Lian's back, Jia Lin raised her eyebrows, and felt much lighter in her heart.Seeing that it was still early, he turned his head and smiled at Chen An, saying, "Let's go, let's go see your brother."

Perhaps it was because of being displaced in the early years. Chen An was quite a young man, and he usually didn't have many expressions on his face. Now that he heard that he was going to see his brother Chen Ping, he showed a bit of joy.Seeing that her master and Chen An were both looking very excited, Xiao Qi couldn't help but muttered: "I'm not here to see Brother Chen Ping, the young master clearly wants to see that idiot."

The Zhuangzi where Jialin often goes to become a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures is in the southern suburbs of the city.Since Mother Jia has been jealous of that aunt for so many years, and after her husband died, she deliberately sent the Li family out, then this Zhuangzi is naturally not a good one. .Baiyunzhuang is two miles away from Jiajiazhuangzi, and Jia Lin recognizes the son of a nursing home in Baiyunzhuang, named Qin Shu.

Qin Shu is one year older than Jia Lin. He is only thirteen now, but he is a full head taller than Jia Lin. Because he practiced martial arts since childhood, his body and limbs are slender and well-proportioned.His appearance can only be regarded as handsome, but there is a bit of righteousness between his eyebrows. Jia Lin almost felt good about him the first time she saw him.However, Qin Shu's temperament is quite cold, silent and not talkative.Jia Lin pestered him a few times, but now, he only warms up to Chen Ping, because Chen Ping can barely be regarded as his apprentice—yes, Jia Lin asked Chen Ping to learn martial arts from Qin Shu.

In this era, people's traditional aesthetics are not the same as those formed by Jia Lin in her previous life. For women, the world prefers those with round pearls and smooth shapes—it's not that they are fat. Vanves.For men, the world prefers those with red lips and white teeth - to put it nicely, they are romantic and handsome like scholars, and in Jia Lin's words, they are actually pretty boys.If you really want to draw out individuals for comparison, the woman should be like Xue Baochai in the [-] version of A Dream of Red Mansions, and the man should be like Jia Lian in this version.

Because there is such an aesthetic, women are fine, as long as you are not a sickly beauty, you can still develop sensuality to a certain extent.However, men are used to putting powder on their faces, what's more, they have to put on a light layer of lip balm every time they go out.When Jia Lin was born, because Aunt Zhou was not favored, he didn't really meet his cheap father for the first time until he was seven or eight months old. There were so many people, and the baby's eyes were not yet fully developed, so who knew where his father was sitting? When he saw the serious face covered in powder, he held a sip of milk in his throat and barely spit it out.If it wasn't for the beard on that face, Jia Lin might have taken her cheap father as a legendary eunuch at first sight.

Now, having lived in this era for eleven or twelve years, although Jia Lin is used to the people around her dressing up like this, sometimes when he looks at himself in the mirror, he even has to sigh with emotion. Bai, otherwise he would be forced to put on powder when he went out—he obviously missed his honey-colored muscles in his previous life—but to be honest, Jia Lin has always preferred to see Qin Shu like this.Although he is lacking in age and Qin Shu has not yet fully grown up, he will definitely be a manly Chinese paper in the future!Jia Lin really envied Qin Shu's looks.

When Jia Lin arrived at Baiyun Village, Chen Ping was chopping firewood. Seeing his young master and his younger brother, Chen Ping seemed very excited.However, he also obeyed the rules, and he understood the purpose of his young master's coming here, so he immediately put down his ax and saluted, and said to Jia Lin: "Master, the little master is at the back mountain at the moment." He was younger than Chen Ping, so Chen Ping always called him Little Master.

Jia Lin left Xiao Qi and Chen An to Chen Ping, and wandered off to the back mountain.The back mountain is not actually a mountain, at most it can only be regarded as a relatively tall slope. There is a small stream here, the source of which is on the back mountain. brook.Jia Lin quickly walked to the place where Qin Shu regularly practiced martial arts. From a distance, she saw Qin Shu naked from the upper body, drawing water from the stream with a handkerchief, and wiping his sweat.Although it was the end of May, the stream flowing down from the mountain was relatively cool, and Qin Shu had just exercised, so it was actually not good for his health.

When Jia Lin saw this, the spirit of an old mother immediately possessed her, and she walked two steps quickly. Seeing Qin Shu turning around vigilantly, she said, "How many times have I told you that it is easy to catch a cold, don't you think If you are in good health, don’t take it seriously. If you are really sick, you will suffer.” Jia Lin herself doesn’t like to drink Chinese medicine, which is like bitter soup, and she even thinks that others can’t bear such suffering.

Seeing that it was Jia Lin, Qin Shu turned around again, wrung out the handkerchief, wiped off the water droplets on his body, and then took the clothes hanging on the branch.By the time he was dressed neatly, it was already a quarter of an hour later.Only then did Qin Shu ask, "Why are you here?" Qin Shu had also heard about Jia Lin being driven by her aunt to Zhuangzi to chant scriptures, but counting the days now, that time has not yet come.

"I have something to do at home. I'm going to Yangzhou. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until the spring of next year. First, I want to say goodbye to you, and second, I want to take Chen Ping back. You also know who I need by my side. Not much, this time I go out, I feel a little panic in my heart, although Chen Ping has not completed his studies, he still needs to use it more than ordinary people... I will send him next year when I return home." Jia Lin felt somewhat said in a low voice.Since he met Qin Shu, he hasn't been separated for such a long time.Now that I think about it, this is also one of the companions I have identified, so it is a bit sad to be separated.

Qin Shu was carrying the firewood tied together on the ground on his back. Hearing this, his hands paused, and he said, "Why are you going to travel far away?"

"It's just visiting relatives. The aunt who married over there in the house has good news, and the elders asked me to visit."

"I went to Yangzhou this time, I walked slowly, and it only took two or three months to go back and forth. Why do I have to wait until next spring?" Qin Shu asked again.

Jia Lin lowered her head and played with the purse on her waist. It was embroidered for him by Aunt Zhou. It was only after a month's menstruation.Jia Lin didn't like bright objects like purses, but because of Aunt Zhou's kindness, she kept this purse and took it out to wear from time to time.Jia Lin replied in a sleepy tone: "My uncle is Lord Xunyan Censor Lin. He was admitted to Tanhua back then, and his knowledge was the best. My father asked me to spend more time with him so that he could teach me my knowledge. .”

"That's fine." After Qin Shu finished speaking, he fell silent.

Jia Lin hummed, followed behind Qin Shu, and walked into Zhuangzi.The firewood on Qin Shu's back weighed at least seventy to eighty catties. He seemed to be from a poor family. He cut so much firewood every day, and only kept a small part for himself, most of which were sold.Once before, Jia Lin insisted on helping Qin Shu carry half the way, but his current body is not as small as in his previous life. As soon as Chai was on the back, he almost fell to the ground.It is precisely because of this that although Jia Lin feels sorry for Qin Shu who has to work so hard at such a young age, she also knows that she really can't help him with this.In terms of money, Jia Lin's own shop outside Jia Lin has only been sold for two or three months. Before that, Jia Lin herself was very poor.Sometimes, making a living under Mrs. Wang's hands is not much easier than Qin Shu's.
