Chapter 2: The grounded sister Lin

After sending Sister-in-law Cai away, Grandma Wang led Lin Yun towards Daiyu's house.

As soon as the two people walked to the door, they saw the door curtain being opened from the inside. A little maid of seven or eight years old smiled and saluted: "Mother Wang is here! Come in quickly."

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

Lin Yun was not 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, he saw that the interior of the house was simply and exquisitely decorated. There was a desk placed by the window on the north side. In addition to the Four Treasures of the Study, there were several loose thread-bound books on it.

Next to the desk, against the wall, is a small bamboo bookshelf. In addition to books, there is also a small incense burner that exudes fragrance.

The top position on the south side is a heated kang, with a red blanket spread on the kang. There is a small purple-red paint table in the middle, and a large food box with exquisite patterns is stacked on it. Inside the box are various pastries and snacks.

.

At this moment, two little girls of similar age were standing in front of the heated ondol, 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 a lily-parted bun, looks unique.

The fair oval face has a pair of red phoenix eyes as bright as stars, with slender willow eyebrows. Under the pretty and cute little Qiong's nose is a rosy little mouth, which is pursed tightly at the moment, showing that its owner is in love with the person in front of her.

The guests are very unfriendly.

Lin Yun secretly praised in his heart: "Sister Lin is really different. Even her angry expression is hard to dislike."

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

The little girl in red was Lin Daiyu, Lin Ruhai's only precious daughter. When she heard Grandma Wang's scolding, she reluctantly saluted Lin Yun, "Yu'er has met her clan 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 unhappy. She sat back on the kang and decided not to talk to him.

Here, Grandma Wang scolded the little maid standing next to her: "Zijuan, you little hooves who don't understand the rules, what are you doing in a daze? Go and make a cup of hot tea to drive away the cold for your young nephew.

"

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?"

"Slave, I'm going to make tea right now."

Zijuan responded hurriedly, then quickly ran out the door.

Daiyu glanced at Grandma Wang, her lips moved, but in the end she remained silent.

However, she gave Lin Yun another sharp look, apparently blaming Grandma Wang for making things difficult for Zijuan on him.

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. Please take this little silver to drink tea."

Grandma Wang took the silver coin and flattered her with a smile: "Brother, you are worthy of being from a big family, and you are very generous in your actions. Okay, you brothers and sisters, please talk to me and I won't disturb you."

After saying that, she left 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 Grandma Wang the money just to let you know that my brother came to visit my uncle on my father's orders this time, and he did not come to the house to fight against the autumn wind."

Daiyu blushed when she heard this, and then she remembered that she had said some very outrageous things just now 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 placed the tea cup on the small kang table in front of Daiyu, and then said respectfully to Lin Yun: "Master nephew, please sit down and drink tea."

"Thank you!"

Lin Yun thanked him, took out a few silver coins from his arms, handed them to Zijuan and said, "Take them and share them with Xueyan, and buy some candies."

"Thank you, young nephew!"

Zijuan took the silver thorn and stepped back happily.



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

Lin Yun stepped forward, shamelessly sat on the edge of the kang opposite Daiyu, and argued, "I'm helping you, sister, win people's hearts."

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

"If sister is not satisfied, I will go to them later and ask for the silver coin back."

"You~"

Daiyu was so angry that her face turned pale, but there was nothing she could do about Lin Yun.

After thinking about it, she rolled her eyes, stretched out her slender hand towards Lin Yun, and said, "Since you have a lot of silver coins, you can give me a few as well."

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

"Forget it if you don't give it, you stingy guy!"

Daiyu retracted 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 was treating someone as a pastry.

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

"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."

Lin Yungang was about to unpack the package when he suddenly heard the old housekeeper's voice coming from outside: "Zijuan, is the young nephew in there?"

"Here I am."

"Go in quickly and tell the young nephew that he 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 it, keep it. If she doesn't like it, give it to the two."

Girl, please don’t give it back to me.”

After saying that, he said goodbye and left directly without waiting for Daiyu to answer.



Looking at Lin Yun's leaving figure, Daiyu secretly cursed in her heart: "I don't care about your gift, but I will have someone return it to you later. I don't think you are 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.

Xue Yan whispered: "Girl, what is in this?"

Daiyu said angrily: "I'm not a god, 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."

Zijuan smiled when she heard this and said, "Girl, my nephew is not a stinky man. His clothes are clean and his words are very kind."

Xue Yan nodded in agreement, "Sister Zijuan is right."

Daiyu said dissatisfiedly: "You were bribed with just a few silver coins? Look at your worthlessness, I'm so embarrassed!"

"Hehehe~,"

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

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

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 pouted and said, "I told you it was definitely not a good thing, but you didn't believe it."

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

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

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

Xueyan also leaned over and said in surprise: "I have seen many things. I have played with these bamboo dragonflies before, as well as this windmill, this little clay figurine, and that one that seems to be a spinning top. I have seen others

I’ve played it before. However, they don’t seem to be as sophisticated as this.”

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-like puppet from the box, and asked Zijuan, "What is this?"

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

"oh!"

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

“It’s really interesting!”

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?
