The Founding of the Red Chamber

When the eldest brother of Mercy Palace saw the weaker brother, he went home and Lin Jing opened the gate

Lin Yi's status is a bit embarrassing, he was a small official in the court.After the death of his parents, he returned to his hometown to observe mourning for six years, so the official position was naturally gone.However, Emperor Zhaode did not bestow him with a title, and now that Lin Yi has just returned to the imperial capital, he has become white.

However, Lin Yi is very stable.Even though he was white, he was still calm and indifferent, and asked his uncle's family to pass the book without being humble or overbearing.Emperor Zhaode met Lin Yi, encouraged him verbally, and ordered him to go to the Palace of Mercy to meet Queen Mother Lin without mentioning his official title.

Lin Jing heard that his brother was coming, so he specially changed into a sapphire blue brocade robe with dark patterns, the belt was tied tightly, his hair was combed high, and he also wore a small gold crown wrapped in silk, even though it was weaker, But it reveals a different kind of spirit, the appearance of a handsome young man from an aristocratic family.Although according to Lin Jing's age, most of them are dressed up for festive occasions, but comparing it with Jia Baoyu's attire a few years later will make it clear.However, being too bright does not conform to Queen Mother Lin's aesthetics. According to Queen Mother Lin's temperament, even if Lin Jingsheng is weak, she has no intention of turning Lin Jing into a soft girl.

When we met for the first time, Lin Yi met all of Lin Jing's expectations and fantasies for his elder brother: tall, handsome, with firm eyes and a calm demeanor. Of course, he was also very kind to him.

After Lin Yi saluted the Empress Dowager Lin, Lin Jing hurriedly greeted Lin Yi at the side, saying, "My younger brother greets the elder brother."

As soon as Lin Yi entered the Palace of Mercy, he noticed the child sitting on the head of Queen Mother Lin, and he already knew it was his brother.It's not that Lin Yi doesn't miss it after a six-year separation.He stepped forward, helped Lin Jing up, and looked him up and down. Seeing Lin Jingsheng's cleverness and handsome demeanor, he was both happy and grateful, and said, "It's all because of my aunt's love." Entering the palace, caressing her knees, how could Lin Jing be like today.

Empress Dowager Lin smiled, "Don't talk about two different families..." Lin Jing continued, "Yes, there's no need for heretics, big brother."

It was the first time Lin Jing saw his elder brother, he was very enthusiastic, taking care of Lin Yi holding tea and fruits, Lin Yi saw his appearance as a young adult, touched his head and said, "You can eat by yourself." The queen mother said something about keeping filial piety in Shandong.

Even though Emperor Zhaode was slightly displeased with the Lin family, the Lin family was a big family in Shandong, and no one would offend him if Lin Yi returned to his hometown to keep his filial piety.Except for some trivial matters, the rest is really nothing to list, but it's just a way of saying goodbye to each other.

Everyone is safe, that is a blessing.

Empress Dowager Lin asked, "Yi'er, you are not young. Before you returned to your hometown, you worked as an official in the official department. What are your plans now?"

Lin Yi obviously thought about the matter of getting up a long time ago, and said, "Thank you, Madam, for thinking about it, it all depends on Jun En."

When Lin Yi said this, Queen Mother Lin did not force her.Lin Jing stood beside Empress Dowager Lin, kneading an orange in his hand, lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

At noon, Empress Dowager Lin stayed for meals as usual.

After lunch, Lin Yi spoke carefully, and said, "Jing'er is already six years old. After all, he is a foreign minister, and the prince in the palace will be moved out of the inner palace to be raised when he reaches the age of six. In the past, the ministers returned to their hometowns to keep their filial piety. The empress took pity on her and raised Jing'er under her knees. Now that I have returned to the imperial capital, I want to take him back to the mansion, so I can ask a famous teacher to teach him and formally enter school."

Seeing that his elder brother was going to take him home from the palace, Lin Jing couldn't help but widen his eyes, showing a look of surprise.

Empress Dowager Lin sighed with a smile, "The eldest son of the emperor is about to enter school. It seems that you don't want Jing'er to stay in the palace and study with the prince."

Lin Yi acquiesced, and Lin Jing raised his mouth and said, "It's fine to stay in the palace with my aunt, I don't want to accompany the prince as a companion. Aunt, you don't know, they all say that my fate is hard, and they are afraid that I will restrain myself." What about them. It’s better to be far away, if they are together day and night, it’s my fault if they sneeze.” Lin Jing grew up in the palace, and he had a sharp eye and a sharp heart, and the palace people had a good understanding of his fate. He is not ignorant of the discussion.It's just that he has always been arrogant, so he doesn't say anything.The prince and princess are far away from him, and he doesn't like the prince and princess, and a thousand people don't want to accompany the prince.

Lin Jing has always been cautious and prudent, but when he heard such disrespectful words from Lin Jing, his face darkened immediately, and he scolded, "Shut up, what are you talking nonsense about?"

"Originally." In the Palace of Mercy, it has always been the eldest son of Empress Dowager Lin and the second eldest son of Lin Jing.Because Lin Jing is smart and well-behaved, sweet-talking, and reasonable in everything, even Queen Mother Lin is willing to pamper him and rely on him.Lin Jing was used to the ostentation in the palace. Although he was small, he was courageous, and he was not afraid of Lin Yi, so he replied.

Lin Yi gave him a serious look, because he was in the queen mother's palace, so he didn't have any seizures.Lin Jing didn't think so, turned around and tugged on the sleeve of Queen Mother Lin, and said, "I know that my aunt is doing it for my own good. Auntie, think about it. If I go to accompany you, how will people think of my aunt. I want to avoid suspicion, auntie, Yu Lin's family, everything is fine." Turning his face away, he said such kind words again, and the displeasure in Lin Yi's heart dissipated a little, and he felt that Lin Jing also had merit.

Empress Dowager Lin took Lin Jing's hand and sighed, "I'm still here, so I made you suffer this kind of grievance."

Lin Jing giggled, happy for Queen Mother Lin, "I eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and wear silk and satin. If I am still wronged, there will be no one in the world who is not wronged. Auntie, don't worry. Auntie, one day, I will be wronged." You can't feel wronged with big brother."

Empress Dowager Lin laughed, "She will coax me with such good words."

"This is from my heart." Lin Jing patted his thin chest, vowing firmly.

Empress Dowager Lin was really reluctant to part with Lin Jing, but she was a sensible person, watching Lin Jing grow up day by day, living in the harem was indeed against the rules.After thinking about it, he said to Lin Yi, "Jing'er has never been in good health since winter just entered. You have just returned home, and it will take some time to clean up the house. When spring next year, when the earth is warmer, pick up Jing'er again." Go back and ask him to spend more time with me."

After Queen Mother Lin said this, Lin Yi naturally took orders.

When Lin Yi left the palace, Lin Jing volunteered to give Lin Yi a ride.But at the beginning of winter, when Lin Jing came out of the house, he was already wrapped in fur, wrapped up like a fur ball, and followed Lin Yi with small steps, and said very sensiblely, "Brother, take care of yourself."

Lin Yi's heart softened, he touched his warm and soft face, and said in a warm voice, "Go back, be more careful in what you say and do."

"Understood." Lin Jing responded in a drawn-out tone, and said to himself, the big brother looks handsome, but it's boring to be so rigid and old-fashioned.

Lin Yi was eighteen years older than Lin Jing, and he had eaten more salt than Lin Jing had eaten, how could he not see Lin Jing's impatience.Lin Yi remained calm, knowing that the younger brother might be spoiled by the queen mother's aunt, and his temper has already formed, and it is definitely not something that can be corrected with a few words.Therefore, I had no choice but to suppress my emotions and told him, "Be filial to the Empress Dowager, take care of yourself, and don't make the Empress Dowager worry."

"Know it."

After touching Lin Jing's head, Lin Yi left.

When the two brothers met for the first time, Lin Jing didn't say anything, but had quite a big opinion on the elder brother Lin Yi.Moreover, Lin Jing is not an ordinary child who is ignorant. He grew up in the deep palace, and he has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and he is already quite careful.Lin Jing felt that no matter how much the empress dowager aunt loved him, he would have to move back home sooner or later.Today, he is so cute in front of Lin Yi just to make a good impression.

After all, no matter how good the elder brother is, he is not a parent.

It might be unconscionable to think like this, but although Lin Jing is young, he is meticulous in his heart.What's more, the first time we met, my brother reprimanded him and didn't like his appearance very much.Lin Jing was very worried that he would not have a good life after returning home.

He hid these small thoughts in his heart, and no one said anything, but he rolled his eyes and had another idea.

One night, Lin Jing made the Empress Dowager Lin happy first, then suddenly sighed pretendingly and talked about going home.He blinked a pair of black and white phoenix eyes, and asked Queen Mother Lin innocently, "Auntie, is the bed at home as comfortable as my current bed? Can I still use such a good desk, inkstone, brush, and rice paper? Is the quilt just as warm? Well, what if I can’t get used to the things at home when I go home?”

The Queen Mother Lin is such a bright-eyed person, not to mention Lin Jing who she raised with one hand, how can she not know how careful Lin Jing is, she took his hand and patted his palm, and asked, "What are you going to do? ?”

Who would Lin Jing recognize, and said, "I don't want to part with my aunt." Looking around, Lin Jing's deep reluctance rose in his heart, and he threw himself into the arms of Queen Mother Lin, smelling the elegant fragrance of Queen Mother Lin, Lin Jing Whispered, "I've followed my aunt since I can remember, and I really can't bear to part with my aunt."

Empress Dowager Lin stroked Lin Jing's back and said, "Your elder brother is only your direct brother, how could he not love you? Your elder brother is like your father, he is reserved by nature and doesn't like to talk and laugh. In fact, he just looks dignified from the outside. , the heart is the softest. He taught you that day, but he didn't mean to treat you as an outsider."

Lin Jing puffed up his cheeks and said, "I was taught by my aunt, so how can I not know this? But, I am talking to my aunt again, and my aunt treats us like parents and children, so why should it be like answering questions in the court, which is worthless."

Empress Dowager Lin smiled, "Your elder brother is just used to being cautious. People have their own tempers. If there is an eccentric elf like you, there will naturally be someone as mature and prudent as your elder brother. He is an elder brother. As a younger brother, you should respect him and love him. You can't alienate your elder brother because of some trivial things, you know?"

Lin Jing was a little jealous, and said, "Why isn't my aunt worried that I will be bullied?"

Empress Dowager Lin smiled, "Your elder brother is a kind person, how could he bully you? Don't think about it, your elder brother has only returned to the imperial capital for six years, and the house needs to be tidied up. I will send someone to take a look at it tomorrow and tell him how to tidy up your house. , lest you get used to it, okay?"

Lin Jing was full of heart, he said about bed, couch, book, book, habit, just wanted to give him all the things he was used to when introduced by Queen Mother Lin, so as to show that he was Empress Dowager Lin has a unique position in her mind.Not wanting to let Empress Dowager Lin see through, she sent someone directly to the Lin family to help him tidy up the house. How could Lin Jing not respond, and immediately smiled.

The Empress Dowager Lin poked Lin Jing's eyebrows, and said, "You are brothers of your own blood, Jing'er, you are still young, and you will need to help your elder brother more when you grow up." Empress Dowager Lin's contribution to teaching also has Lin Jing's own talent.Otherwise, if Lin Jing is a piece of rotten wood, it means that Empress Dowager Lin has the ability of Lu Ban, and it is difficult to make her become a useful person if she is afraid.

Empress Dowager Lin knew Emperor Zhaode very well, she only hoped that her natal nephew would be successful.

Lin Jing was very ambitious, and sighed with a pink mouth, "Elder brother is a bit rigid, anyway, when I go home in the future, I will persuade elder brother to be more. Don't worry, aunt."

Empress Dowager Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Don't touch the egg on the rock."

After a long time, Lin Jing would describe his elder brother like this: a moral model.

In fact, Lin Jing would pretend to be benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise, and trustworthy when he was outside, but Lin Jing was pretending, and Lin Yi was completely serious.

Even though their personalities are not quite the same, Lin Yi felt that the Queen Mother doted on Lin Jing too much. Before Lin Jing came home, he sent the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help Lin Jing clean up the house.Lin Yi was a little displeased, thinking that Lin Jing was too coquettish, but because of the order of Queen Mother Lin, it was inconvenient to say anything.

In the spring of the next year, Empress Dowager Lin picked an auspicious day, and Lin Jing returned home with five or six carts of things brought back from the Charity Palace.

From Lin Yi's point of view, Lin Jing was born with a knack for things, and he didn't know what to say, and his words were extremely presumptuous.The point is, Lin Jing never consulted with him before speaking, so he didn't know how much trouble he caused.For example, before entering the door, Lin Jing got off the car in front of the gate of Cheng'en Mansion.The palace maid Ding Xiang took out a small fur cloak and put it on Lin Jing's shoulders, and reminded softly, "Master, be careful of the cold." When Lin Jing left the palace, because Ding Xiang was used to serving, the Empress Dowager Lin sent Ding Xiang to Lin Jing's nanny. Mammy Zhang also rewarded Lin Jing.

Lin Jing looked up at the magnificent three-room animal-headed gate of Duke Cheng'en Mansion and the large plaque on the gate, stretched out his small tender arm and pointed with a small tender finger, and said in a master's tone, "Father passed away early, and brother didn't It's uncomfortable to hang this plaque when you are not a prince. Now that my elder brother is white, even these three gates are out of control. I didn't see it, but I have to ask. Hurry up, take the plaque and tear it down. Door."

The housekeeper's servants who ran out to greet Fourth Master Lin Xiao were all shocked by Fourth Master Lin Xiao's remarks, and they all looked at Lin Yi, the head of the family.

Take the plaque and tear down the door...

Lin Yi gritted his teeth secretly, he should have sewed up this kid's mouth sooner!
