The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Grandma Wang turned her body sideways, smiled at Lin Yun and said, "Young nephew, please go first."

Lin Yun was also polite, thanked him, and walked straight into the room.

As soon as you enter the door, you feel a warm air blowing into your face, mixed with a faint fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Looking up, one can see that the layout of the house is simple and exquisite. There is a desk near the window on the north side. In addition to the Four Treasures of the Study, there are a few scattered thread-bound books on it.

Next to the desk and against the wall is a small bamboo bookshelf, on which are placed not only books, but also a small incense burner that exudes fragrance.

The first place on the south face is a warm Kang, on which is covered with a big red blanket, and in the middle is a small purple-red painted table, on which is a large food box with exquisite patterns, inside the box are various pastries and snack.

At this moment, there were two young girls of similar age standing in front of the warm Kang, looking at him curiously.

The little girl on the right is tall and tall. Although her appearance is not bad, her clothes are very ordinary. One look at her and she knows that she must be a little maid.

The little girl on the left, wearing a pink feather satin double-breasted gown and combing a lily bun, looks different.

There is a pair of red phoenix eyes as bright as the stars on the white goose egg face, with slender willow eyebrows, and a small ruddy mouth under the delicate and lovely little Qiong's nose, which is tightly pursed at the moment, showing that its owner is facing the person in front of him. Guests are very unfriendly.

Lin Yun praised secretly in his heart: "Sister Lin is really different, even this little angry expression is hard to hate."

Grandma Wang who followed later scolded the little girl: "What's wrong with the girl today? Don't you even know how to be polite when you see your young nephew?"

The little girl in red is Lin Ruhai's only precious daughter, Lin Daiyu. When she heard Wang Momo's reprimand, she saluted Lin Yun with great reluctance, "Yu'er has seen the elder brother."

Lin Yun smiled and said: "We are all family members, sister, there is no need to be polite."

Seeing Lin Yun's familiar expression, Daiyu became more and more upset. She sat back on the kang and decided not to talk to him anymore.

Here, Wang Momo reprimanded the little girl standing next to her again: "Zi Juan, you little ignorant hoof, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and make a cup of hot tea to drive away the coldness of my nephew and young master. "

Lin Yun was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself: "Isn't Zijuan the maid assigned to Sister Lin by Mother Jia after she entered Jia's house? How could she appear here?"

"I'm going to make tea now, servant girl."

Zijuan hurriedly responded, and then quickly ran to the door.

Daiyu glanced at Wang Momo, moved her lips, but finally said nothing.

However, she gave Lin Yun another gouged look, obviously blaming Wang Momo for making things difficult for Zi Juan.

Seeing this, Lin Yun hurriedly took out a few silver coins from his arms and handed them to Grandma Wang, "Thank you mom for your help in introducing them. Please take this little silver to drink tea."

Wang Momo took the silver box and flattered her with a smile on her face: "Brother is indeed from a big family, and his actions are generous. Alright, you brothers and sisters talk well, and I won't bother you."

After speaking, she said goodbye with satisfaction.

...

As soon as Grandma Wang left, Daiyu mocked Lin Yun: "If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are not a good person at first glance."

Lin Yun immediately retorted: "I gave Wang Momo the money just to let my sister know that this time I am a brother who came to visit my uncle by my father's order, not to fight the autumn wind at the house."

Daiyu blushed when she heard the words, and then she remembered that just now, she said some very exaggerated things in order to make the other party retreat.

At this time, the little maid named Zijuan brought two cups of hot tea, thus resolving the embarrassing situation.

Zijuan put the teacup on the small kang table in front of Daiyu, and said respectfully to Lin Yun: "Master nephew, please sit down and drink tea."

"Thank you!"

Lin Yun thanked him, took out a few silver locks from his pocket, handed them to Zijuan and said, "Take it and share it with Xueyan, and buy some candy."

"Thank you, young nephew!"

Zijuan took the silver box and retreated happily.

...

Seeing this, Daiyu glared at Lin Yun with increasing dissatisfaction and asked, "What do you say this time?"

Lin Yun stepped forward, sat cheekily on the edge of the kang opposite Daiyu, and argued: "I'm helping my sister buy people's hearts."

Daiyu replied: "My maid, I don't need your help to win people's hearts."

"If my sister is not satisfied, I will go to them later and get the silver curly back."

"you~"

Daiyu was so angry that her face turned pale, but she had nothing to do with Lin Yun.

After thinking for a while, she rolled her eyes, stretched out her slender hand to Lin Yun, and said, "Since you have a lot of silver locks, give me a few too."

Lin Yun shook his head and said, "You can't leave the house at all, so what's the use of asking for money?"

"It's fine if you don't give it, cheapskate!"

Daiyu withdrew her hand angrily, picked up a piece of pastry from the food box, stuffed it into her mouth and took a bite, as if she took someone for a pastry.

Lin Yun raised his hand to take off the package on his shoulder, put it on the small kang table, and smiled at Daiyu: "Although I don't have any silver curly, I brought some small gifts for my sister, I hope you like it."

"Oh."

Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at the cloth package opposite and thought to herself: "No matter what gift he gave later, she said it was not rare, which made him lose face greatly, which made her feel better. Such bad breath."

Just as Lin Yun was about to unpack the package, he suddenly heard the voice of the old housekeeper outside: "Zijuan, is the young nephew inside?"

"Here I am."

"Go in and tell the nephew and young master, just say that the master is anxious to see him."

"Ok."

Lin Yun stood up after hearing this, smiled at Daiyu and said: "Uncle wants to see me, so I will leave first. I have carefully selected the gifts here. If my sister likes them, keep them. If she doesn't like them, give them to the two." Girl, please don’t give it back to me.”

After speaking, he took his leave and left without waiting for Daiyu's answer.

...

Looking at Lin Yun's leaving figure, Daiyu secretly slandered in her heart: "I don't care for your gift, and I will ask someone to return it to you later, and you are not ashamed."

While she was thinking wildly, Zijuan and Xueyan ran in from outside together. Both girls stared at the package on the small kang table.

Xueyan whispered: "Girl, what's in it?"

Daiyu said angrily, "I'm not a god, so how do I know what's inside?"

Zijuan: "Girl, if you open it and take a look, you will know."

Daiyu said with a look of disgust: "If you want to see it, just open it yourself. I won't touch the dirty things brought by stinky men."

Zi Juan laughed and said, "Girl, my nephew is not a stinky man, his clothes are clean and he speaks very kindly."

Xueyan nodded in agreement, "Sister Zijuan is right."

Daiyu said dissatisfiedly: "A few silver coins bought you off? Look at your worthless appearance, it's really embarrassing for me!"

"Hee hee hee~,"

Zijuan: "Girl, you'd better open the package and take a look."

Daiyu was actually curious about what was in the package, and after hearing Zijuan's urging, she half-pushed and reached out to unpack it.

When she unwrapped the package, she saw that it was a simple wooden box wrapped inside. She didn't know what kind of wood it was made of. It looked like new, but it was not painted, and there was no pattern on it.

Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "I told you that it must not be a good thing, but you don't believe me."

Xue Yan: "Open it and take a look. Maybe there is something interesting inside."

There was a brass clasp on the front of the box, but it was not locked, it was just twisted with a small piece of copper wire.

Zijuan was worried that Daiyu would hurt her fingers if she tried it, so she took the initiative to help unscrew the copper wire. After she opened the lid, she immediately exclaimed, "Ah! There are so many gadgets inside."

Xueyan also leaned over and said pleasantly: "I have seen many things. I have played with these bamboo dragonflies before, and this windmill, this little clay figurine, and that one that looks like a spinning top. I have seen others I've played it. However, those don't seem to be as exquisite."

Daiyu was also attracted by the things in the box at this time. As a lady from an official family, she had almost no access to these small objects used by ordinary people for entertainment.

She reached out and picked up a chubby panda-shaped puppet from the box, and asked Zijuan, "What is this?"

Zijuan smiled and said: "This is called a tumbler, you put it on the table, no matter how you push it, it won't fall over."

"Oh!"

Daiyu casually placed the panda puppet on the table, tapped the panda's head with her finger, the panda twisted back and forth a few times, and soon returned to its original state.

"Sure enough!"

She poked the panda on the head hard, and when she saw the panda puppet twisting around on the table but not falling over, Daiyu was secretly happy.

But then she was in trouble again. With so many interesting and fun things, should she return them to that guy?

Chapter 3: Internal excellence and external difficulties

In the study room, a middle-aged man in official uniform was pacing back and forth anxiously. Every few steps, he would stop and look outside the door, his expression of anxiety was beyond words.

The original text comes from Ta&Read novels~&

When the man was waiting impatiently, there was finally a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Immediately, the old butler came in from outside the door with a crying voice, "Master, my wife is saved, our wife is saved, woo woo woo~"

The middle-aged man staggered out of the room and asked excitedly, "Lin Fu, are you serious?"

The old butler grabbed Lin Yun's sleeve and said eagerly: "Master, Brother Yun said that his father also suffered from the same lung disease as our wife a few years ago, and he was cured by the medicine given by a wandering Taoist." .”

Only then did the middle-aged man notice Lin Yun standing beside the old housekeeper, and he asked hesitantly, "Are you Brother Heng's youngest son, Brother Yun?"

The old butler introduced to Lin Yun from the side: "Brother Yun, this is our master."

Knowing that the thin and elegant middle-aged man in front of him is Lin Ruhai, Lin Yun hurriedly stepped forward and gave him a deep bow, "My nephew pays respects to my uncle."

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you in several years, I didn't expect Brother Yun to grow so tall. If the old housekeeper reminded me, I almost wouldn't recognize you."

Lin Yun took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over with both hands, "Uncle, this is a letter from my father to you."

Lin Ruhai took the letter and did not open it to read it. Instead, he invited Lin Yun into the room and asked nervously, "Brother Yun, tell me quickly, where is that Taoist wandering now?"
