Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 25 It’s good to have an aunt
After a while.

Entering the painting, Zijuan walked into the pavilion and saw that Jia Rong was the only one drinking tea. She asked in confusion, "Master Rong, where is our girl?"

"They have to go back first." Jia Rong stood up and said, "Zijuan, go back and tell your daughter that Mr. Zhuge is going to Yangzhou. If there are any letters or etiquette that need to be taken, please prepare them before the evening hour and I will go and get them."

I was just about to say this.

But before he could say anything, everyone left.

……

Lin Daiyu returned to her residence in shame and anger, just wanting to be alone, but there was an annoying little tail following her that she couldn't get rid of.

"Don't be angry, Sister Lin. Rong Ge'er really didn't mean it this time."

"Don't worry, Sister Lin. I will definitely talk to him properly some other day!"

"He is a junior, and we as his aunts won't bother with him."

Xichun followed behind and kept talking until she was almost dry-mouthed. She felt that being an aunt was not easy and she was really worried about her nephew.

Lin Daiyu's ears were almost callused from listening to this. She leaned weakly on the bed, squinting her eyes slightly and said, "Fourth sister, you don't have to say anything more. From now on, I will just call him Jia Hanhan!"

"Jia Hanhan?"

Xichun repeated it and burst out laughing.

"Sister Lin, you are right. Rong Ge'er is a fool. Only someone as smart as Sister Lin can see through this mischievous guy."

"But it's also my fault. If I hadn't mentioned the rouge poison, he wouldn't have known about it." Xichun was still thinking about continuing to exonerate her nephew.

"Bah, you still say that, you still say that!"

"Hehe, I don't dare anymore."

"Sister Lin, please forgive me..."

The two of them played around on the bed for a while, and gradually, Xichun coaxed Lin Daiyu into not being so angry anymore.

As an aunt, you should be magnanimous.

What's the point of getting angry with your nephew?

At this time, Zijuan Ruhua came back smiling.

Zijuan didn't know what was going on yet, so she quickly walked forward and said with a smile, "Girl, great joy!"

"What great joy?"

Lin Daiyu said in annoyance.

She is in a bad mood!
Zijuan didn't understand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Rong just said that Mr. Zhuge is going to Yangzhou. If you want to bring anything back to Yangzhou, prepare it quickly and come to get it later. Let Mr. Zhuge take it to Master Lin."

"The young lady has been here for two years. This is the first time she brings something back to Master Lin. Can you not take good care of it?"

Xichun's eyes lit up: "Sister Lin, it's inconvenient to travel between the north and the south. This opportunity is rare, so we must prepare quickly. If there is anything missing, just tell Rong'er to buy it."

Lin Daiyu: "..."

Well, no wonder he dared to offend her so much.
It turned out to be waiting here!

Jia Hanhan!
hum!

It's so bad!
……

It was almost the evening hour when Jia Rong came to Xichun's courtyard.

Aunt Lin Daiyu seemed to have returned to normal and was writing a letter to Lin Ruhai.

Xichun winked at Jia Rong and whispered, "I coaxed her for a long time, but Sister Lin was finally able to get over it with some effort."

Jia Rong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, little aunt. I'll bring you some candied haws some other day."

He admitted that he had been unintentionally rude just now.

Fortunately, I have my aunt.

Xichun immediately smiled when she heard this.

"Hehe, okay!"

"Don't forget to bring one for your Aunt Lin as well."

"Also, don't mention Yanzhi's matter again in the future. If you do, I'll definitely get angry!" Xichun reminded her earnestly. "I know, don't worry, little aunt."

After a while, seeing that Lin Daiyu had stopped writing, Jia Rong walked up to her, leaned on the desk and asked with a smile, "Aunt Lin, have you finished writing the letter?"

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Rong with a sidelong glance and said nothing.

Obviously, although Xichun had coaxed her, she was not completely coaxed.

Or maybe he was fine before, but now it seems not so good anymore.

Xichun hurried forward and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, it's Jia Hanhan who's here."

Jia Rong: “…”

"Pfft."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, and handed the letter to Jia Rong: "Thank you, nephew."

"It should."

Jia Rong took the letter and said, "I have written a few articles recently. I would like to take them with me to ask the old uncle who won the third place in the imperial examination to give some advice. Is that convenient?"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, a hint of pride immediately appeared on her face.

"You can bring him if you want. Do you need to tell me? But Daddy is very strict. He doesn't spoil you like Grandpa does. If you get scolded for not writing a good article, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Xichun pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Brother Rong, isn't it enough to have Grandpa teach you? Why do you have to trouble Uncle Lin? I will really scold you when the time comes."

Jia Rong said solemnly, "Aunt, there is a saying, 'When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher. I will choose the best one and follow him.' Uncle Lin passed the imperial examination and was a much better writer than our grandfather. Of course, I must be open-minded and ask for his advice, so that I can surpass him in the future."

"Oh……"

Xichun nodded, not quite understanding.

Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Rong lightly.

You bad guy, do you think you can surpass my father?
Not likely!
"I wonder what Uncle Lin's preferences are? This is the first time I ask for his advice. Should I bring some fees for writing?" Jia Rong said solemnly.

Lin Daiyu threw a pillow at him angrily, gritting her teeth and saying, "You fool, take it with you, but I'll make sure your article is thrown out with it!"

What kind of person is his father?

Besides, they are relatives, so how could they possibly ask for any “writing fee”!
Although she has a 'good' temper, she wants to hit someone.

"Don't blame me, Auntie. I was rude."

Jia Rong took the pillow and handed it to Xichun beside him. He was just joking just now, but now he continued to say seriously: "Why don't you bring some wine? Grandpa has a lot of wine in his collection, or tea? What kind of tea does old uncle Lin like? You can't bring nothing, right? This is the first time for a junior to ask old uncle for advice, isn't it impolite?"

Seeing that Jia Rong was sincere, Lin Daiyu did not say much and said casually, "As for this, just do as you like. I have never seen Dad drink wine, so I don't know. As for tea, I have seen Dad drink Biluochun, Longjing tea, and Tieguanyin."

Jia Rong nodded and said, "That's good. The master has all these things. Ruhua, go tell Xiaoxiao to prepare them. I'll take them to Mr. Zhuge later."

Seeing the two of them "reconciled as before", Xichun was naturally the happiest, this was all thanks to her.

"Sister Lin, Brother Rong, shall we have dinner together? I'll treat you."

Lin Daiyu was about to say: “No need.”

Jia Rong had already said, "Not today. First, I have to prepare for the trip south with Mr. Zhuge later. Second, the master has called me several times, and I have to go over to show my filial piety."

Lin Daiyu immediately changed her words and said, "Look, we are not worthy in the first place. A filial son must be obedient to the master first!"

Jia Rong felt very uncomfortable.

How come the word "filial piety" doesn't sound so nice when it comes from Lin Daiyu's mouth today?

"Don't mind, Sister Lin. Rong'er is just filial!"

Lin Daiyu nodded.

"Very much! Very much! How filial!"

Jia Rong: “…”

……

　It's the end of the month, and I'm shamelessly asking for two recommendation votes and monthly tickets.

　　I beg all book lovers to read and collect this book.
