The Rebirth of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

The next day, Lin Xiang and Lin Qiong went to visit Gu's mansion with gifts and Lin Hai's letter.

The Gu Mansion is neither the family of Zhongming Dingshi nor the family of Shixiang Hairpinying. It only settled in the Erjin courtyard in a small alley in the capital.At this time, Gu Badai inherited the post of Yiergenjueluo's family. Although he was dismissed by Kangxi, he was still in the study, but he was rejected by the emperor, and he had less contact with his colleagues, and his life was quite desolate.

Speaking of which, Lin Hai and Gu Badai, one is Jinshi Ketan Hualang, the other is the first member of Shengzu Banner Examination. They should have had little contact with each other, but because they were both in the Imperial Academy, they gradually became sympathetic friends.When the Lin family's heirs came to Beijing, Lin Hai did not ask Tongnian to take care of him, but instead asked Gu Badai, who had no power to borrow, which shows his good intentions.

The concierge of the Gu family was an old servant who was deaf and blind. After the announcement, it was already past the tea time.Although Lin Xiang and Lin Qiong were wearing plain gowns, they still didn't fit in with the poor people here.

Gu Badai was approaching the age of hearing, but he didn't show signs of decadence at all. He walked vigorously, his voice was sonorous, and his gestures carried the unique style of a literati.He stood at the entrance of the main hall and watched Lin Xiang and Lin Qiong brothers approaching, and said with a smile: "What a Lin Ruhai, his nephew at home is comparable to Zhilan Yushu."

The two brothers walked over quickly and bowed, and were welcomed into the hall by Gu Badai.The two of them saw that there was another person in the hall, it was the fourth elder brother whom they had just met yesterday, and they met again in a hurry.

Gu Badai is very knowledgeable, and it is rare to have both civil and martial arts. He was once the teacher of the four princes. It is not surprising that Yinzhen is here.

The fourth prince is a man of integrity and integrity, he has always been trusted by the sage, he never forms a clique for personal gain, he respects the prince and loves his brothers, it can be seen that he will be a good king who will assist a good king in the future.Therefore, although the Lin family wants to stay away from the prince to avoid getting involved in the battle for the throne, they don't need to be jealous of the fourth prince. ——This is Lin Hai’s original words.

At that time, Lin Qiong couldn't keep his mouth shut when he heard his father commenting on Fourth Master like this. Master Yongzheng was much more powerful than he imagined, so he kept a low profile!Even Lin Hai, who is like an old fox, can't see that he has the intention to seize the throne. How much scheming does it take?

In this way, neither the prince nor the eighth master will point their guns at him. The so-called competition between ducks and clams will benefit the fisherman.Who can believe that an upright prince who is obsessed with Buddhism wants to seize the throne?He has never even joined the party, how can a lonely king win the throne without supporters?Do you recite the Great Compassion Mantra?If someone told Lord Kangxi that the fourth prince was the next emperor at this time, Lord Kangxi would not believe it.

Seeing Brother Lin Xiang coming, Yinzhen said, "Since Mr. has a visitor, I will take my leave first."

Gu Badai said: "You don't have to go, I'm afraid Brother Ruhai sent me his disciples, and the fourth elder brother also studied with the servant for a few days, so it's okay to stay." He threw the gift list aside to open the letter, Yimu Shixing laughed loudly after reading it: "I just said, sure enough! Sure enough! You two are still not apprentices?"

Lin Xiang and Lin Qiong looked at each other, they didn't expect Gu Badai to agree so quickly and quickly, they hurriedly performed the teacher's apprenticeship ceremony and offered the teacher's apprenticeship tea.Gu Badai arranged a lot of homework vigorously, and asked the two to go back and finish it before coming to see him, the two brothers had no choice but to agree.

After Lin Xiang and Lin Qiong left, Yinzhen said, "Sir, you still have a quick temper, and you're not afraid of scaring others."

Gu Badai said: "Don't be afraid, Lin Hai's son won't be so timid. Brother Si, you have been to Weiyang this year, so you must recognize them?"

Yinzhen nodded: "I met once before, but I'm not familiar with it." He smiled and remembered Lin Daiyu's praise yesterday: "Lin Hai has a daughter who is as good as her elder brother and younger brother." Let's talk about what happened in Yangzhou one by one.

Gu Badai also praised: "It's really good, the boudoir is weak, but you have such courage, please come to my house some other day and I will have a look, so I can be a playmate with Taiqing."

On the other side, Lin Qiong, who rode his horse back to Lixiangyuan, was bubbling with joy. He was suffering from the fact that he had no way to hug the thigh of the future Yongzheng Lord. This time, he became a brother of the same school. Lin Qiong had never admired his father as much as he does now .

The winter in the capital is dry and cold. It is good for poor people to wear cotton-padded clothes, but there is nothing to do with dry hands and feet. Rich people hold hand stoves and smoke cages to keep warm all day long, and they still think leather clothes and cotton-padded clothes are heavy.

A new store opened in Beijing called "Jinyi Pavilion".Ordinarily, the capital is so big, there is nothing to say about opening a shop, even if he opened it on the extremely prosperous Chang'an Avenue, it would not be unusual.

If there is anything unusual, the shopkeeper of this shop is from Weiyang. If you want to buy new style Weiyang fabrics and embroidery, you may go to his house.However, it is not that there is no silk and satin shipped from Yangzhou in Beijing.

Holding the stove in her hand, Lin Daiyu asked Lin Qiong while reading a book of travel notes: "Did Mr. Gu give you too little homework? You still have time to open your shop again." The Jinyi Pavilion in Yangzhou lost money Not a lot.

Lin Qiong's eyes were shining brightly, and her face was full of joy, she almost danced to express her excitement: "Sister, I will definitely make money this time, just watch it."

Lin Daiyu lost interest: "I am not short of money."

Lin Qiong said: "This is my major! Professional! Don't look down on business, okay, I won't miss my homework... Sister..." Acting like a baby*.

Lin Daiyu patted his head lightly: "I didn't look down upon him, didn't I give you back the money, don't waver in front of my eyes, block the light."

"You don't even ask me why I'm so sure I'll make money this time..." Lin Qiong's voice was full of frustration, she managed to rise up once, but she was going to be ignored... Zun was so sad.

Lin Daiyu put down the booklet: "It has something to do with the stinky feces and goat smell you have brought home every few months? Maybe it has something to do with the things that always make me drink goat's milk, take goat's milk baths, and put on my face?" She looked disgusted: "You drove your flock of sheep and ducks to the capital?"

Lin Qiongxi said: "Sister, you are so smart. My brother won't let you take a bath with goat's milk. Do you feel that your skin has improved recently? Is it particularly effective?" The most pure and natural goat's milk in ancient times. No matter how you look at it, Lin Qiong feels that her old sister has become more and more beautiful recently.

Lin Daiyu paused for a while, and said: "It's okay." She was young, and her skin was already good. After using goat's milk, her skin was indeed smoother, but this was nothing compared to her hatred for the destructive taste of goat's milk .

"Only okay???"

Lin Daiyu stroked her forehead: "It's really easy to use, but...the smell..."

Lin Qiong waved her hand: "Aunt Zhang will improve it and sell it next year. Sister, the point is not goat milk, it's Jinyi Pavilion."
