But the family tree opened the chatter box and reported "Baoyu's Visiting the Sick", but He Lina sang it again, why did you sing "Baoyu's Visiting the Sick"? "The family tree didn't know what her fate was. After hearing about it, he immediately closed the chatter box. Then he sat down and smiled at her: "Can this wife not sing? He Lina laughed and said, "Why do you ask me!"How am I now? What are you doing here?You treat me as Lin Daiyu, how dare I be? " Jiashu thought, this is really unfair. Why should I treat you as Lin Daiyu? And I don't dare to compare myself to Jia Baoyu! Then he laughed: "This paragraph is wrong, I don't know if it's my fault, and I don't know the fault. over you? He Lina pursed her lips and smiled, and looked at Jiashu. Jiashu smiled and said, "That's it!"Even if it's my fault, don't be offended. He Lina laughed and said, "Yo!"You are so taller than me, can I still blame you?If you want to sing, you can sing, and I will try to be Lin Daiyu. "

After hearing this, Jiashu didn't know whether to sing well or not, so he just smiled at her.He Lina smiled at him again, and then said: "Actually, there is no need to sing "Baoyu Visits the Sick". A hundred years later, maybe someone will compile "Family Tree Visits the Sick." Jiashu laughed and said, "Why are you so happy today, sick Is everything all right?" With this sentence, He Lina reminded: I was originally a patient, lying on the bed, how could I be so happy?Turning his eyes, he had an idea, and said with a smile: "So I said, a wife who is not worthy of listening to "Baoyu's Visitation", I will not be able to learn the appearance of that sad and sick Miss Lin. If you touch me again, I am I don't have a fever at all." Because she was leaning on the railing of the bed, Jiashu was embarrassed to touch her cheeks and forehead, so he just bent over and stood by the bed, stroked the back of her hand, and still took a step back, sitting on the bed. on the chair.Jiashu looked at her, and she also looked at Jiashu. The two met their gazes, but laughed loudly. Everyone didn't know what to say.

At this time, the maid came to report, saying that the house called and asked the young lady to go back. If she didn't go back today, the wife would come to pick her up early tomorrow morning.He Lina said: Just call back and tell me I'll go back.But I told my family not to tell the outside world that I went back. The maid agreed to go. Jiashu smiled and said: "After returning to the city, do you still have to keep your whereabouts a secret?" "He Lina said: "It's not that I have something wrong with my heart and I'm afraid of seeing people.But if you think about it, I had a big scene that day, and after dancing, I parted from everyone. As a result, I only lived in Xishan for a while, and I didn't do any great things, which is really shabby.Not only that, but I went back to my own home, feeling a little embarrassed.I don't care about coming, I don't care about leaving, it's not too obvious, is it a child?Mr. Fan, I have an unreasonable request, can you agree? "Jiashu's heart thumped twice, thinking that it's fine if she doesn't speak up, if she does, she will only agree. Is there a woman who speaks to a man first about this matter? Then she reluctantly said calmly: "You are too polite, how can you make an unreasonable request?If it can be done, I will do it. He Lina laughed and said, "Actually, it's nothing special."Please think of me as a sick man and send me to town.If my father is at home, I will introduce you to talk; even if my father is not at home, you can talk to my mother. "Jiashu thought to himself: Send her home, so it can be said that I took her back; secondly, it seems that I sent her to the door to let people have a blind date. However, even though he understands the reason, he has agreed to go ahead. , try my best to do it, is there anything I can’t do my best! On the surface, she agreed generously. He Lina was overjoyed, and immediately got out of bed, stepped on her slippers, and went to the bedroom to freshen up. Seeing this, Jiashu felt that she was simply Is there any disease?

That day, I had lunch in He's villa, and the two maids packed up their things first, while He Lina and Jiashu took the same car into the city.He Lina has a cold, and as long as the fever subsides, the illness is considered cured, so they talked and laughed in the car.She said that although her father was a bureaucrat, his thinking was very new, so just talk to him.The mother is very kind and loves her daughter very much. She can trust her daughter's words very much.Jiashu thought to himself: I don't need to know these words, but since she said it, he couldn't ignore it, so he followed her voice, answered casually, and kept saying "yes".He Lina smiled and said: "You shouldn't say yes! You should say chirp!" The family tree was puzzled, and asked what it meant?He Lina laughed and said: "I heard that when the servant of the former Qing Dynasty promised to speak to the master, no matter whether the master laughed at him, scolded him, or reprimanded him, he always stood upright, lowered his head, and promised a word. I see you You look so proud, you kind of regard me as a master, so I said you should answer me, you should say yes! You should not say yes!" Jiashu laughed.He Lina glanced at him and said, "Don't be like this in the future, you are either afraid of me, or just perfunctory me." Jiashu just smiled, and the car had already arrived at the gate of He's house.

As soon as the driver honked the horn, the concierge saw it and yelled all the way in: "Miss is back, miss is back!" He Lina got out of the car first, and then let Jiashu get out of the car. "How are you, Miss?" The dimple on He Lina's face never recovered, she just said "Yes".Everyone looked back and saw a young man following him. Some people understood, looked at each other, and said in their hearts, I'm afraid he was the one who persuaded them to come back.He Lina asked: "Is the chief at home?" He replied: "I heard that the young lady is coming back, I'm waiting at home." He Lina nodded to the family tree and said with a smile: Come with me.The young master is here, he is the nephew and young master of Supervisor Guan Fan in Koubei. As she said, she took a step back and let Jiashu go forward. Jiashu thought in her heart that it was a bit embarrassing for her to show her son-in-law, so she had to hold back her face and followed He Lina.

After passing through several blue corridors and vermilion thresholds, we came to an exquisite living room.As soon as Jiashu sat down, Chief He Lian only wore a very light serge camel hair robe, walked in slowly with a cigar in his mouth.When He Lina saw it, she jumped forward with a smile, took his hand and said, "Father, let me introduce you to this Mr. Fan. Don't you always say that young people always have to be successful when they are young? This Mr. Fan is A young man like you in your ideal. He is my good friend. You have to be more polite and don't put on airs like an old man." He Liannian was about half a century old, and only this daughter, since she disappeared, has been heartbroken, and finally the girl came back. He was ten times happier when he jumped from the Director of the Administration to the Chief Financial Officer.Although the girl was too coquettish, she couldn't bear to say anything, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, we have a guest here." Jiashu saw his plump face, with a short beard and round and thick hands. And Bai, he is really the prime minister of finance, so he stepped forward and bowed, calling him old man.He Lina said: "Please sit down." He Lian's words were uttered by the girl, so the host and guest sat down and exchanged a few words of greeting. Fan Junxiu will laugh at you." The family tree leaned forward and said, "The young lady is very smart, and my nephew admires her very much. I wanted to come here to ask the old man for advice, but I was afraid of Meng Lang. From the young lady's mouth, I know that the old man is a very kind man. People." He Lian smiled.Seeing that Jiashu was very measured in his speech, but also happy, he asked him what books he read and what entertainment he liked.When it came to entertainment, He Lina sat on the side, then answered with a smile, "You won't believe me if I tell you. A college student can't dance, skate, or play cards." He Lian laughed and said, "Tao Get up! Do you think college students should know all these things?" At this point, the servant said: "Tao Zhai called, and asked Master Fan to come over, or for a while?" Jiashu sat here, After all, he was a little embarrassed, so he replied: "I'll go there." Saying goodbye to He Lian.He Lian said: "My wife wanted to talk to Fan Jun. Is there anything to do in the evening? Come down to have a meal." After hearing this, He Lina liked the little dimple so much that she just rolled her eyes and looked at the family tree.Seeing her hopeful look, Jiashu didn't dare to disobey, so he replied: "Please don't be polite." He Lian said: "Uncle and his wife, please make a date for me, I don't invite outsiders. "Speaking, send out the gate of the inner courtyard.

As a rule, a person of status like He Lian can't see a guest far away, and Kuang Jiashu is also the future son-in-law, so of course it's inconvenient to be too modest, and he only sends it here, not the other way around.He Lina sent the family tree through several courtyards.The family tree said: "You haven't seen your aunt when you come back, so don't send it off." He Lina said: "I will also ask the driver to take you off." So he sent the family tree to the gate until he got into his car , walked to the car door, and whispered to him, "Mrs. Tao should play jokes with you again." Jiashu smiled.He Lina smiled again: "See you tonight." Saying that, she closed the car door for him, and the car drove away.

He Lina turned around and was about to go in, but a car with four guards rushed to the door with a whimper.She knew that it was her father's guest who had arrived, she made a flash, and planned to walk in from the side of the courtyard, but the guest in the car got off and called "Miss He" twice from afar.When she looked back, it was Shen Guoying, who used to be the brigade commander and is now the commander.He is wearing casual clothes today, doesn't he look like a handsome young man?He took the hat in his hand early and bowed to He Lina.He smiled and said, "Hehe! I didn't expect to see Miss He here." He Lina laughed and said, "Shen Tongzhi heard from a friend that I went abroad, so seeing me at home, he thought it was a monster, right?" Shen Guoying laughed Said: "By the way, since the dance that day, I have admired Ms. He very much. The next day I came to the house to pay a visit, and I don't want to say that Ms. He has left." He Lina said: "Yes, I was going abroad. I don't want to get sick just before leaving, so I have no choice but to go to Xishan to recuperate for a while. I just got back from illness today, and I haven't even met my mother yet. Please sit inside, and I will come to see my mother when I see my mother." After finishing speaking, He nodded and went in.

Shen Guoying thought to herself: This Miss He is really unpredictable.When we met on the bus in Tianjin, she suddenly expressed affection for me. She was also very close to me at the dance, but she avoided seeing me later. When I saw her today, she was so indifferent again. Could it be that a proud young man like me General, doesn't she see it in her eyes? ...He was pondering here, and He Lian had already come out from afar after getting the news.Shen Guoying said with a smile: "I met your daughter just now..." He Lian said: "She was still sick yesterday, she just came home from Xishan, and she hasn't gone to the upper room yet." Shen Guoying followed He Lian to the inner guest room, and saw the chair There was still a gray coat on the back, so he smiled and said, "Are there any female guests here just now?" He Lian said, "This is the little girl who came home and took off and stayed here. Because someone sent her home, she Stay with me here." Shen Guoying said: "No wonder Ling'ai sent a car away at the gate just now. This person sent Miss He back from Xishan, he must have a very good friendship." He Lian didn't say anything, just smiled smiled.Shen Guoying thought for a while, and there seemed to be something in his heart that he wanted to say, but he still refused to say it. He only talked with He Lian about important military affairs for an hour, and then left.

He Lian walked back to the inner room, and saw his wife sitting on a soft couch, and his daughter leaning against her mother, her body almost tilted into her arms.He Lian frowned and said: "When Lina is at home, she is like a three-year-old child; but when she goes out, she is not afraid of anything." He Lian sat upright and said, "I have nothing to fear. Ah! There are many social places, and you took me there." Mrs. He patted her on the shoulder and said: "Find her a powerful person and just take care of her, that's all."The kid at home is honest. Mrs. He said: "Don't take things too seriously, maybe people will be willing or not." He Lian said: "Actually, I don't necessarily have to give it to him." "He Lina stood up suddenly, sullenly, and went into her room, her shoes slamming on the floor. Mrs. He smiled and pouted behind her. He Lian couldn't hear the sound of her shoes. He smiled and said: "This enemy is very dedicated to that child surnamed Fan. Mrs. He said, "Isn't that good?"Do you wish her to be unfaithful to her husband?This child has become more and more romantic in the past year, and I am also very worried. If she is willing to change herself, then it will be fine. But He Lian also nodded, and at the same time sent someone to ask the lady, saying that it is a treat tonight, is the cook at home, or is it called from the restaurant? The lady replied: "It is the cook at home. "He Lian and his wife knew that the girl was no longer angry, so they dropped a stone.

At night, when the clock starts, Jiashu comes with Uncle and his wife.First He Lina came out to accompany her, followed by He Lian, and finally Mrs. He came out.Mrs. Tao immediately went forward to say hello, and then waved to the family tree: "Cousin, come here, look at how nice this old aunt is!" The family tree came over and bowed.Mrs. He has seen enough from head to toe.In the inner guest room, with Mrs. Tao and Mrs. He's conversations, and He Lian and his uncle discussing the current situation peacefully, it immediately became lively. When it was time to eat, the cups and chopsticks had already been laid out on a small round table in the dining room.Mrs. Tao and Bohe lost a wink, and then said with a smile: "We have three hosts and three guests here, and Bohe and I just sat up. There is no need to be modest. The two old people, please sit next to me. Shu, you take Bohe's subordinates." There are only six seats here, and there is one seat under the family tree, she doesn't say, of course He Lina sits.Jiashu is not sitting at the table, so it is inconvenient to give up.He Lina was afraid that the family tree would be embarrassed, so she simply acted generously and sat down by the family tree.The servant brought a wine jug and was about to pour wine. Mrs. Tao waved her hand and said, "There is no outsider here. Let's drink by ourselves." Pot to pour wine.After pouring Uncle and his wife, she realized that it was Mrs. Tao who was playing tricks again, so she had to pour it into the family tree cup.Jiashu stood up, held the cup in both hands and continued.Mrs. Tao said to He Lian: "Old man, you are a person who has studied literature. May I ask you a dictionary, respect each other like a guest, can you use it casually in social situations?" When she asked, her face was serious.He Lian didn't realize it for a while, and said with a smile: "This allusion can be used indiscriminately? This is only limited to praising the harmony between husband and wife." He Lina had finished pouring her wine and glanced at Mrs. Tao.But Mrs. He understood, and said to her: "Mrs. Tao always picks up like this!" He Lian also understood, and unconsciously wiped his mustache with a finger and smiled.Bo He took the cup and smiled at He Lina: "Thank you, thank you!" Then he said to Jiashu: "Drink, drink." He Lian smiled and said: "With your virtuous couple here, I will never worry about whether the banquet will be lively or not!" So Everyone at the table laughed.When Zai Jiashu came to attend the appointment today, the relationship between Fan and He was clearly expressed.Now Mrs. Tao uses allusions in such a way, which is a bit of a "finishing finishing touch".Mrs. Tao is a smart person, if she can't say that, how dare she ask that question again.Everyone had a great time on this little date. After the meal, He Lina led Mrs. Tao to wash her face in the bathroom behind her bedroom, and asked with a smile, "You are an old man, why are you joking with me?" Mrs. Tao said: Do you remember?I told you there was a day--and this is the day.When are you getting married? "He Lina laughed and said: "You are talking nonsense more and more, why did you bring up that issue?You are a lot of people, and you make a lot of jokes like this, which makes everyone feel ashamed. Mrs. Tao laughed and said, "Yo!"Is that embarrassing?To go on, there are many more embarrassing things than this. "While talking, he went to the outside room, put on all the make-up by the dressing table, took a look at it, took a box of French face powder, lifted the lid, and smelled it on the tip of his nose. As soon as she heard it, she smiled and said: "This is really a high-quality thing. You can wipe it off. If you don't go out, just apply some cream." Mrs. Tao smiled at her reflection in the mirror, and said: "Although I don't go out, it's better than going out." What's more important is that you have to put on your makeup properly today." He Lina smiled and said, "Mrs. Tao, I beg for mercy, don't make jokes. I'm very straightforward, and I don't need to hide my lies. Do you think it's time to joke now? " Mrs. Tao said: "You can do it if you want me not to make trouble, you have to call me cousin." He Lina said: "cousin is not some kind of advantage!" Mrs. Tao said: "You have to call me that One sound. If you don't call me, I won't care about you when you ask me for help in the future." But He Lina always refused to call. The two were arguing, but Mrs. He came in and asked, "You have been in for a long time, why don't you go out?" He Lina pouted and said, "Mrs. Tao is always making fun of people." Mrs. Tao laughed: "Auntie, please For this reason, I asked her to call me cousin, but she refused." Mrs. He smiled, and only said that she picked it up.Mrs. Tao smiled and said: "I have been busy with this bowl of winter melon soup for almost a year, and I have talked with you many times, and now we all understand each other like this." Mrs. He said: "In this year's marriage, parents are just consultants. That's all, what else do I have to say? Fortunately, the child is very mature, and he is very satisfied with his clean body." Mrs. Tao said: "Then, should I let the family tree call me?" Mrs. He said: "That's not necessary, Let's talk about it in the future." Mrs. Tao was talking like this, but in a blink of an eye, she didn't see He Lina. When she looked into the bathroom, she was sitting on a chair by the washbasin, just wiping her tears with a wet towel.Mrs. Tao was taken aback: Now that all her hardships have come to an end, it will come to fruition, why is she crying?Then he stepped forward and shook her hand and said, "What's the matter with you, what's the matter with you?" If you want to know how He Lina will answer, I will explain it next time.
