The Founding of the Red Chamber

Father Lin Jing kept asking questions.

Lin Yi deserves to be called the elder brother of "Father of Things", and he summed it up in one sentence, "This trip went well, but I met Mr. Chen in the end." Lin Yi was a little hard to explain, and asked instead, "Your eldest brother-in-law? Is it missing?"

"It's down, it's the prefect of Shanxi Datong." Lin Jing asked, "Big brother, what's going on with Chen Qibao?"

Yue Shi laughed, "Fourth Uncle, your eldest brother hasn't spoken to your eldest brother-in-law yet. Anyway, Mr. Chen lives in our house, so it's never too late to say so."

Lin Jing rolled his eyes, curled his lips, and took the sister-in-law's hand, then took the eldest brother's hand, and clasped the two hands together.Yue's face turned red, Lin Jing gave a smirk, turned around and ran away.

"Fourth Uncle is really..."

Yueshi blamed and wanted to pull his hand out, and Lin Yi held it firmly, twisting Yueshi's palm, Lin Yi said softly, "Arou, thank you for your hard work."

With a bit of shyness on his face, Yue Shi smiled, "Master says what to do, it's the right thing to do."

"Is the child okay?" Lin Yi couldn't help touching Yue's abdomen. After eight years of marriage, Yue's was not the only one who missed the child.Sitting on the couch hand in hand with the Yue clan, Lin Yi's eyes were like the gentle breeze of March, extremely gentle, "I received the letter from my family, knowing that you are pregnant, I am happy and worried."

Yue Shi smiled, "My uncles are all sensible, and my second sister has shared a lot for me." This is the truth, the children of the Lin family are all sensible, at least they don't cause trouble.

Lin Yi said, "I'll reward them later."

Lin Jing, the father of the electric light bulb and a worker, walked away knowingly. The husband and wife talked a lot of private things in soft voices. When they heard the sound of soft footsteps under the window, Lin Yi pushed open the window and stretched out his hand. Lin Jing and Xu Nian grabbed each other.

Xu Nian screamed "Huh?", and was grabbed by the uncle who met him for the first time. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.Lin Jing acted like a normal person, with both hands hanging on Lin Yi's wrist, he asked with a smile, "Big brother, alas, if you have something to say, why are you pulling me?"

Xu Nian directly carried the two of them into the room from the bottom of the wall outside the window, and asked, "Sneaky, why are you sneaking around the bottom of the wall if you don't come in?"

When his feet landed on the ground, Lin Jing was still smiling, "Nian'er admires his uncle, and I haven't seen his uncle like a hero before, so I will take Nian'er to see his uncle." Then, Lin Jing winked at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian immediately knelt down on the ground, licked Lin Yi's head, and said, "Nian'er has met uncle, please greet him."

Lin Yi was in no mood to pay attention to Lin Jing immediately, and quickly helped Xu Nian up, saying, "Good boy, get up."

Lin Jing made fun of him, "As an uncle, why don't you even have a meeting gift? I gave Nian'er a lot of meeting gifts." He babbled endlessly, and suddenly got hit on the head hard, Lin Jing Jing hopped his feet in pain, and after a while, he really got a big bag.Lin Jing was so angry that he was still pouting and angry when he was having dinner in the evening.

Lin Yi and Xu Shangfei haven't seen each other for many years, so naturally they have a lot to say.

It was Lin Yi who specifically asked, "Did you bring Mr. Chen's dinner? Don't neglect Mr. Chen."

Lin Jing touched the swollen bump on his head, and glared at Lin Yi: Ever since big brother came back, haven't you asked him if he's okay?snort!To care so much about that kid surnamed Chen!Could it be that my younger brother is surnamed Chen?

Lin Yi glanced at Lin Jing, and said lightly, "Eat."

Lin Jing has always been tough but not soft, seeing Lin Yi pull his face down, he also wilted.Xu Nian hurriedly picked up chopsticks and put Lin Jing's favorite steamed fish in a bowl for Lin Jing. Lin Jing's lips curled up, and he also gave Xu Nian a dish with chopsticks. He patted Xu Nian's head, looking like an uncle Yes, "Eat more."

After dinner, Lin Yi, Xu Shangfei, and Shu Jingyun went to the study, Lin Jing wanted to follow him very much, Lin Yi said, "Jing'er, you and Nian'er go to see Mr. Chen."

Lin Jing had no choice but to agree.

Chen Qibao was brought back by Lin Yi, the Yue family has always been kind, and the yard arranged for him was very nice.Everything in the guest courtyard should be complete, and someone cleans it every day, even if there is a sudden visitor, it is still very calm.When Lin Jing arrived, it was dark, and Chen Qibao was sitting on the couch, reading a book by the candlelight.

Seeing someone coming in, Chen Qibao got up slowly, looked at Lin Jing and Xu Nian, and asked in a warm voice, "I don't know how to call them?" Based on the two people's clothes, Chen Qibao could also guess that they must be from the Lin family's master's generation.

Lin Jing said, "Brother asked me to come and see you." Pointing to Xu Nian, he said, "This is my nephew, named Xu Nian."

Chen Qibao said, "So it's Young Master Lin and Young Master Xu." He hurriedly asked them to sit down.

Lin Jing's etiquette was taught by the Empress Dowager Lin. Even though he didn't like Chen Qibao in his heart, he would not be rude in his face. Lin Jing asked softly, "Mr. Chen, you don't have to be so polite. Are you still used to living here? Dinner Is it still to your liking?"

"Everything is fine." Chen Qibao said, "Grandfather Menglin did not abandon his shelter, I am full of gratitude."

Lin Jing spoke softly, "This is fate. Although I don't know how you met my elder brother, but since we met, it is fate. You just live in peace, my elder brother is the best person, let this be your home .Don’t be an outsider, you can tell me anything you want or order the boys.”

Chen Qibao rolled his eyes, "Okay."

Seeing that Chen Qibao was reading just now, Lin Jing asked, "What kind of books does Mr. Chen like to read, I ordered the boys to bring you some."

"Miscellaneous notes are fine."

Lin Jing exchanged pleasantries for a while, then got up to say goodbye.Chen Qibao sent the two of them to the gate of the courtyard, watched them walk away, then turned back to his room and continued to read.

Xu Nian followed Lin Jing and said, "Uncle, this Mr. Chen looks very kind."

Lin Jing took small steps, said "um", and asked casually, "What else do you see?"

"It's not bad to be tall, gentle and polite."

Lin Jing turned to look at Xu Nian and asked, "Do you know who he is?"

Xu Nian shook his head, Lin Jing had an indescribable look in his eyes, and said, "He is the son of the abolished King Xiangyang."

Xu Nian opened his mouth in shock, digesting this shocking news.

Lin Jing asked again, "Any thoughts now?"

Xu Nian thought about it, but his attitude remained the same, "I still think he's pretty good."

Lin Jing walked unhurriedly, and said, "Nian'er, you should think this way. The abolished Xiangyang King is now in his forties. Look at Chen Qibao, he is only twelve or thirteen years old, which means What?"

Xu Nian blinked, "Mr. Chen should be the youngest son of the abolished King Xiangyang?"

"It's hard to say if he is the younger son, but judging by his age, Chen Qibao is by no means the eldest son of the abolished King Xiangyang." Lin Jing said, "The status of the eldest son is different for the family members. As a result, the one who came to the emperor's capital, no Don't you find it strange that the eldest son of King Xiangyang was abolished, but this Mr. Chen?"

At first, Xu Nian didn't realize there was something strange about it, but now it's a bit strange to hear Uncle Lin Jing ask such a question.Xu Nian asked, "Is it the eldest son of the abolished Xiangyang King..." He wanted to find a reason, but it was hard to say, so Xu Nian didn't say it.

Lin Jing said again, "Secondly, Mr. Chen is alone, have you found out? He is not the only son who abolished King Xiangyang? Could it be that the other sons are all dead? Why is Mr. Chen going on the road alone?"

Xu Nian replied, "Yes."

"Third, have you paid attention to Mr. Chen's clothes?" Lin Jing continued, "Even if you don't know the types of clothes, you can always tell them apart. Mr. Chen is wearing ordinary fine cotton clothes."

"You said he is gentle, polite, and a nice person." Lin Jing looked at Xu Nian and said calmly, "These are just superficial. He is not only gentle and polite, neither humble nor overbearing, he is quite a powerful person." Ordinary The downcast clan, even adults, would not have Chen Qibao's extraordinary composure.Ask Lin Jing to look at Qi Bao's belly with a villain's heart, this kid must have a plan in mind!

Xu Nian looked at Uncle Lin, not knowing what to say to express his admiration for Uncle Lin.

in the study.

Lin Yi told Xu Shangfei and Shu Jingyun about Chen Qibao.

"When Mr. Tang and I arrived in Xiangyang City, Mr. Chen had been waiting outside the mansion for more than ten days before he found an opportunity to come to me and Mr. Tang." Lin Yi said, "He was originally the seventh son of the abolished King Xiangyang, and now Xiangyang The prince's mansion was expelled, and the king of Xiangyang was abolished and placed under house arrest in the clan's mansion. At that time, Mr. Chen wanted to come to the imperial capital to redeem his father. At first, Mr. Tang and I only thought he was hypocritical and didn't take it seriously. I didn't want to leave Xiangyang that day, Chen The young master followed behind the imperial envoy's chauffeur, begged hard, and wanted to come to the imperial capital with the chariot. At that time, Mr. Tang and I didn't agree, so this young master Chen followed the imperial envoy's chauffeur for more than ten days. After all, he is the descendant of the clan. There was no other way, so I brought him to the imperial capital."

Shu Jingyun said directly, "Now that the king is deposed, it is useless for him to come to the imperial capital again. As for atonement on behalf of the father, it is just a joke. Could it be that the clan's mansion will let the deposed king out and lock him in because of this? I think it is just an invitation It's just a name."

Xu Shangfei said, "A phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and he is a concubine. In Xiangyang City, life will not be too easy. Now that he comes to the imperial capital, although it is an invitation, at least there is a place where he can invite him. Now he lives in the mansion. It's just a few meals, not worth anything."

Lin Yi said, "I think so too, no matter what his intentions are. Since he is ambitious, he wants to take a ride. If he is a member of the clan, let him take a ride."

Shu Jingyun smiled suddenly, "Actually, Ayi doesn't have to worry, although you brought this trouble to the imperial capital, but it's not your turn to worry about it."

Lin Yi's eyes were slightly warm, obviously he had already thought of this point, "I'm afraid that the empress dowager would scold me for being troublesome."

Shu Jingyun smiled, "The concubine is the concubine of the princess of Xiangyang. Even though the palace of the Xiangyang palace has been wiped out, the imperial concubine's order is still there. Since Mr. Chen belongs to the family of the king of Xiangyang, he should trouble the concubine."

Xu Shangfei said in a deep voice, "Perhaps this Mr. Chen has come up with this idea." Don't talk about shameless things, for the sake of power and wealth, face is nothing.Concubine Xie returned to the imperial capital, and the nest in Xiangyang Palace did not dare to come.However, if he is really like Mr. Chen Qi, who needs perseverance, perseverance, and shamelessness, and really finds Grand Concubine Xie's house, Grand Concubine Xie really can't kick him out with a big stick.

It is the same even if Emperor Zhaode had canceled the adoptive relationship between Concubine Xie and the abolished King Xiangyang.

Lin Yi said, "Let Jing'er go and have a look first, and find out about Mr. Chen."

At this time, Lin Jing, who was lying in bed talking with Xu Nian after washing up, did not understand his elder brother's painstaking efforts.

Lin Jing was talking to his nephew about his dissatisfaction with his eldest brother, Lin Jing sighed, "I see, the elder brother doesn't hurt me anymore after going out, and he doesn't treat me as well as before."

Xu Nian didn't understand, "Why doesn't uncle love you anymore, isn't he treating you well?"

"Where is it good?"

Xu Nian turned sideways, widened his eyes and said, "My uncle took me to the base of the wall of my uncle's room to eavesdrop on my uncle's whispering with my aunt. It's fine. My uncle didn't say a word to my uncle. , have to beat me to pieces."

"How many elder brothers-in-law are there?"

"Also, my uncle dares to show his face to my uncle. If I let me go, and dare to show my face in front of my father, my father will slap my face swollen."

"The eldest brother-in-law is a tyrant."

"That's why." Like the way Lin Jing patted his body in the past, Xu Nian stretched out Xiaoyuan's arm to pat his uncle's back, and said, "Compared with me, uncle treats you so kindly."

Lin Jing threw his arm away and scolded with a smile, "Try to slap me again, I'll grab your ass!"

As he said that, the two little guys started to fight happily in the bed.
