The Founding of the Red Chamber

Emperor Zhaode asked Lin Jing to accompany the prince to read. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a great compliment.Therefore, although Lin Jing was not very happy in his heart, he did not dare not be ignorant of flattery.

It's just that his body and bones have not been sharp since he was a child, and he will suffer from several illnesses every year.Because of the heavy snowfall a few days ago, Lin Jing was clamoring to enjoy the snow, but he was wrapped up like a fur ball, and he was still caught in the wind.Shu Jingyun prescribed two medicines for him, but he has not yet raised well, so after receiving the imperial decree, he will not be able to enter the palace for a while.

On the contrary, Emperor Zhaode cared about Lin Jing, rewarded herbal medicines, and sent an imperial doctor over.

The imperial doctor's diagnosis may not be better than Shu Jingyun's. After seeing Shu Jingyun's prescription, he added or subtracted a few medicines to let Lin Jing take care of him, so he returned to the palace and returned to the palace for a follow-up visit in a few days.

When Emperor Zhaowen went to the Ci'en Palace to pay his respects, he even mentioned to Empress Dowager Lin, "I heard from Tang Ying that Jing'er's academic performance is very good. Jing'er is getting older now, and her body is much better than before. Jing'er is my mother. Watching him grow up, he is smart and stable, not like ordinary children. I thought, let him accompany the prince, because it is the friendship between relatives, and also to get close to each other. Think about when I was young, A Yi was my love Accompanying reading. Second, he often enters the palace, and he can often come to greet his mother. Jing Er was raised by his mother when he was born, but when he was young, he suffered from three disasters and six disasters, which took a lot of energy from his mother. The child grows up Love, I often go to the palace to greet my mother when I get home, I see that he is smart and good-natured since he was a child, and I am relieved to have him by the prince's company."

The imperial decree of Emperor Zhaowen was issued, and Empress Dowager Lin smiled, "The Ai family knew that when he first chose to accompany the prince, the emperor deliberately praised him. It's just that the Ai family thought that although he is now in better health than when he was young, after all He is different from an ordinary boy. If the emperor insisted on choosing him as a companion to study for the sake of Aijia's face, the courtiers would be overwhelmed. Since the emperor thinks highly of him, it is his blessing. But the heavy snow fell a few days ago, and he was frozen I'm sick, I don't know how it is now? The Ai family hasn't seen him enter the palace for a few days."

"I have ordered the imperial doctor to see it, and it is getting better. In a few days, it will be fine." Emperor Zhao Wen smiled, "Treat him well, and ask him to come to pay mother's respect."

Only then did Queen Mother feel relieved.

Lin Jing's illness recovered very quickly, but he was not very happy, and this time it was not because of being a companion.Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, brother-in-law Xu brought a letter from his family, together with a New Year gift, and also took Xu Nian back to Taiyuan, Shanxi, for a family reunion.

Lin Jing never had many friends. Lin Teng went to study with him within a few days. Now Xu Nian and Lin Jing get along very well. They live together, eat and sleep together, listen to Mr. Xu's lectures and study together When Lin Jing saw a letter from brother-in-law Xu asking Xu Nian to go home, Lin Jing couldn't bear it, and talked to Lin Yi in a flattering way, "It's so cold, the distance from the imperial capital to Taiyuan, hundreds of miles away, is all overland, and it's not cold by car or sedan chair." What a dead person. Why don't you ask Nian'er to celebrate the new year at our house, and when the spring is red and the willows are green next year, and the sky is warmer, someone will send him back. I thought, even if the elder sister and elder brother-in-law miss their son, they must be more worried about the cold wind Shuo Qi, freeze Nian'er."

Speaking of this, Lin Yi was amused, Xu Shangfei had written several times earlier, Lin Jing was prevaricating for one reason or another, and refused to ask Xu Nianhui.Now that it's the Chinese New Year, Xu Shangshu said that he is a strict father, and he must also miss his eldest son.Lin Yi said, "Your brother-in-law specially asked someone to bring a strong and warm carriage, and it was firmly nailed with thick felt. There was a charcoal basin inside, so it wasn't cold at all."

Boss Lin Jing snorted unhappily, "I still don't worry about Nian'er. How about I write a letter to my eldest sister and brother-in-law, anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year, and it will be spring next year, so let's send Nian'er away Go back, can't you?"

"Your eldest sister has nothing to miss." Lin Yi said, "Be obedient, and I will pick Nianer up next year."

Lin Jing hummed twice.

Lin Yi said, "Well, then it's settled."

Lin Jing thought for a while, his eyes sparkled, and he raised his mouth and said, "Big brother, logically speaking, you are Nian'er's uncle, and I am also Nian'er's uncle, both of them are Nian'er's uncle. It's probably half the job."

"What the hell!" Lin Yi ignored Lin Jing's tricks, turned to look at Lin Jing, and asked, "Why, you want to be my master?"

"I didn't say to be the master of the big brother!" Lin Jing said, "Big brother and I are brothers of the same father and mother. The big brother is a descendant, and I am also a descendant. I sacrifice to the ancestors during the New Year, and the elder brother and I are also brothers. It's the same. So, I can also be the master of half of the family affairs."

Lin Yi clicked his tongue twice, "It seems that you are not small? Do you want to take the position of patriarch?"

"Cut, I don't care about it~" Lin Jing said, "I think it's worrying for Nian'er to go home now, so I don't agree with him going back now, I suggest that Nian'er go back to Taiyuan next spring Reunite with big sister and big brother-in-law."

Lin Yi had a long-standing experience in dealing with troublesome people like Lin Jing, and said directly, "Do you agree or not?"

Lin Jing said angrily, "Big Brother, you have to be reasonable! You are still the Duke of the imperial court!"

Lin Yi didn't take it seriously, and brushed off his clothes, "What's the point with my brother?" Fu turned his face solemn again, "Okay, be honest with me. You're still a student, and you don't know 'elder brother is father' Is it reasonable? What do I say, what do you listen to, and if you talk stubbornly, you will be beaten!"

Lin Yi was always talkative at home, so only Lin Jing dared to argue with him.However, Xu Nian's return to Taiyuan was still settled in this way.Lin Jing reluctantly packed a lot of things for Xu Nian, and when Xu Nian left, Lin Jing lost energy for several days.Lin Yi said, "Since you are in good health, I will go to the palace to greet my aunt. You had a cold earlier, and my aunt will definitely miss you."

When Lin Jing went to the palace, Empress Dowager Lin saw that he was sleepy, and asked him why, Lin Jing said.Empress Dowager Lin smiled and comforted him, "What's the big deal? You used to be in poor health, and you had to pay attention to hot and cold, so I didn't dare to ask you to go out more. Now it's gradually getting better. If you have time, just find friends of the same age. Playing. Even Nian'er, you have to be considerate of your big sister and brother-in-law's heart. Just like Jing'er, if you go somewhere and don't see you for a year or so, I will be so worried. Since you can't bear to read Nian'er , next year someone will pick him up at home."

Lin Jing said, "We've been eating and living together for so long, and now we don't think about it, and eating feels boring."

Empress Dowager Lin smiled, "Didn't your sister-in-law give birth to Ze'er, and you can go to him when you're bored."

"Ze'er is still a baby boy, he can't even say a word. I taught him to call him 'uncle' for several days, but he hasn't learned it yet. He's very stupid." Lin Jing complained a few words, and said to Queen Mother Lin, "Auntie, How strange do you say, I didn't have Brother Teng and Nian'er as companions before, and I didn't feel that life was boring. However, after I had companions, I felt very uncomfortable when they left. Auntie, When I first came home, you must have missed me in the palace too, right?"

Empress Dowager Lin smiled, "It's only natural."

Lin Jing sighed sadly, "When I first came home, I also missed my aunt very much. Although I really want to miss my son by my side, I also know that my elder sister and elder brother-in-law will miss him. Aunt, why do you think there is no such thing in this world? For a long time." Lin Jingsheng is Huimin, and he has read a few more books, so at a young age, he already has the melancholy of a philosopher.

Empress Dowager Lin smiled, and said softly, "How should I say this? Let me ask you, if Nian'er is still here next year, would you be happy?"

"Of course I'm happy, I don't want him to go at all."

"If he hadn't left, you wouldn't be able to feel the joy of reunion when he comes back." Empress Dowager Lin said, "Things in this world don't last long, but because they don't last long, there are joys, sorrows and joys. If you If things go well, life may not be as good as you imagined. If you don’t know sorrow, you don’t know joy.”

Lin Jing said, "Sometimes I feel that life is short, and sometimes it feels very long."

Empress Dowager Lin thought it was funny, "How old are you, you are thinking about your whole life."

Lin Jing said, "This makes people have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries."

Seeing Lin Jing's serious face, Empress Dowager Lin was overjoyed, and smiled, "You're thinking too far."

Lin Jing chatted with Empress Dowager Lin for a long time, and at noon Emperor Zhaode came directly with the prince.Lin Jing quickly got up and stood aside. After Emperor Zhaode brought the prince to greet the Queen Mother Lin, he immediately greeted Emperor Zhaode and the prince.

Emperor Zhaode smiled, "I heard that Jing'er has entered the palace, I think he is in good health?"

Lin Jing respectfully said, "Return to Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said yesterday that you are well, and I dare not forget your majesty's praise to me, so I went to the palace to greet His Royal Highness. I heard that His Royal Highness will study in the morning until the early afternoon, so I went to my aunt first." In fact, Lin Jing had a small sixth-rank official position. When Emperor Zhaode rewarded Lin Yi with Duke Cheng'en, he gave Lin Jing an official position by the way. He didn't expect him to actually work in the Yamen.Therefore, Lin Jing could call himself a "subject" in front of Emperor Zhaode.

Emperor Zhaode smiled and nodded, don't look at Lin Jing as a thin and sick cat, but he is really clever if he is clever.Emperor Zhaode smiled, "I'm not an outsider at all. You are half a year older than the prince. I heard that you can read well, so you should help the prince more. You get along well. In the future, you will be like me and Cheng'en Gong. A model of how the monarch and his ministers can get along."

Lin Jing and the prince quickly agreed with each other.

It can be said that Emperor Zhaode was considerate of his prince, and the companions selected were all the sons of important officials of the clan.The prince also took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, handed it to Lin Jing with both hands, and said, "Ah Jing, here is the jade pendant."

Lin Jing thanked him first, and quickly took it with both hands.

The prince pointed to another jade pendant around his waist, and said, "This is a pair, Ah Jing, you have one, and I have one."

Lin Jing immediately acted moved, "Your Highness treats me like this, and I will repay you with loyalty."

The prince smiled, "You just recovered from illness, stop standing, sit down." He pulled Lin Jing to sit beside him.

Empress Dowager Lin was also happy to see the prince getting close to Lin Jing, she smiled at Emperor Zhaode and said, "It's almost time for lunch, and today there is a big carp from the Yellow River honored by His Majesty to the Ai family. The emperor and the prince are here to use it." Let’s have dinner, and Jing’er, so you can satisfy your hunger.” Lin Jing likes to eat fish.

Emperor Zhaode was about to win over the Lin family, and smiled, "I still have some over there. Brother Yi doesn't have a particular preference for food, but Jinger likes it. I'll give you a few."

Before Lin Jing could say anything, Empress Dowager Lin laughed and said, "Jing'er has a tricky mouth. He thinks about the delicious food in the palace every day, so he can often go to the palace to visit Ai's family. The emperor rewards him with everything, and he eats at home. If you are satisfied, you might not bother to enter the palace."

Lin Jing immediately changed his words, "I asked my aunt how to make the Baihua cake, and my aunt didn't ask the cook to tell me."

Emperor Zhaode laughed out loud and stopped mentioning the matter.

The prince is very kind to Lin Jing and kind.

Although Lin Jing is young, he is a small fritter.The prince gave him face, so naturally he couldn't be rude in front of the prince.

However, what the prince did next did not nearly blow Lin Jing up.

In fact, Lin Jing did well as the crown prince's companion. With the Queen Mother Lin around, no one would offend him.What's more, there are Lin Teng and Guan Xiaoer together. Although Teacher Prince's lectures are a bit boring, Lin Jing can't ask questions casually.However, he grew up in the palace and is very familiar with the rules of the palace.Therefore, Lin Jing is at ease.

However, he hadn't been studying with him for a few days, the prince suddenly fell ill.

Of course, it was not said that it was Lin Jing's fate, but Lin Jing was an astute person, but this kind of person usually likes to think wildly, rambling about, wishing to have 1 thoughts in his stomach.Moreover, the crown prince was not in a weak body before, and he was fine at other times. Why did the crown prince fall ill just a few days after he became a companion?

Lin Yi specially comforted Lin Jing, "Don't think too much, I listen to your noise every day, and you didn't restrain me."

Lin Jing said angrily, "Who knows why the prince is sick? If he pretends to be okay, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of this and push the boat against the prince, and then I will bear the bad reputation." He already knew, Even the foolish mother-in-law, Mrs. Yue, blamed him when the sister-in-law had a difficult delivery and asked him to avoid it.That is to say, his eldest brother is a sensible person and did not believe in Mrs. Yue's statement, otherwise Lin Jing would be pissed off.Because his elder sister-in-law, Yue Shi, had always been considerate to him, Lin Jing pretended that he didn't know about it, and didn't mention it at all.However, even relatives are so jealous of his life, how can the palace not think about it?

"I'll go to Xie Guogong's mansion. Anyway, the crown prince is ill, so you don't need to enter the palace for the time being."

Lin Jing touched the jade pendant on his waist, because the crown prince rewarded him, he often wore it.Lin Jing said viciously, "When the surnamed Tang comes to our house again, I must give him a few nice words!"

Seriously, Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Lin Jing had just mentioned Tang Ying, and in the evening, Tang Ying really came.

Originally, Lin Yi didn't ask anyone to inform Lin Jing, so he was worried that Lin Jing's words were not serious, and it would be bad to offend Tang Ying too much.But who is Lin Jing, he seems to have smooth ears, when he heard the letter, he straightened up his clothes and went to see Tang Yingshou.

Lin Jing said, "Sir, I heard that the north is not very peaceful, and that there are many bandits in Shandong." Because Tang Ying was one of the prince's tutors, Lin Jing followed the prince and heard Tang Ying teach, so he called him Mr. Tang.

Tang Ying smiled leisurely, "Why, Jing'er still cares about political affairs?"

"I don't care about political affairs, but I care about my husband." Lin Jing said sweetly, "I said that the banditry has been going on for a long time, so I will give you an admonishment for my husband. Once this person arrives, the banditry will be at peace."

Tang Ying raised his eyebrows and joked, "Who? How could he get into our Jinger's eyes." Lin Jing has always had a high vision and a mean mouth. When he came to the Lin family, he was often treated harshly by Lin Jing.

Lin Jing pointed at himself and smiled, "It's a student who recommended himself. People outside say that my fate is hard. If my husband has any grudges with anyone, put me in front of that person, and maybe kill him the next day." What are those bandits?"

Tang Ying's face changed slightly, and he said, "You have also read the sage books for a few years, why do you believe in these ghosts and fantasy things?"

Lin Jing chuckled: I knew it was you, an old bastard, who recommended the young master in front of His Majesty!None of us should think about it!
