The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing and Shu Jingyun sighed, "The current world is really chaotic every day."

Even if Shu Jingyun was Lin Jing's husband, she couldn't bear Lin Jing's sigh like a little adult, and asked with a smile, "What new things have you heard?"

"Don't you know, sir, that a group of gangsters killed Jinling Tongzhi?" Lin Jing said, "There are many monsters in troubled times. I remember that Raofeng County, where Mr. Xia went, had a bloody case before. A gangster named Zhang Biao killed the county Ling's wife was killed. In addition, brothers killed each other in Situ Village below Raofeng County. Although they were not biological brothers, they wiped out two families. It is really shocking. Raofeng County is a small county near Jinling City. It was originally just The small county town has been in chaos, and now even the sixth-rank co-prefect of Jinling Zheng can tell people to kill Jiang Xin, which shows how chaotic Jinling City has become."

Shu Jingyun smiled, "In Jinling City, there are vassal kings, magistrates, and the Cao Gang. At the same time, there are court garrisons. It has not been a peaceful place for a long time. Jinling Tongzhi died on the water, and he must have something to do with the Cao Gang. The gang has connections with the Jinling Palace, whether the Jinling King knows about this matter or not is something to be said."

Lin Jing raised his eyebrows, "Dignified feudal lord, is it possible that he is connected with these reckless gangs?" Although he is young, although he is smart, he still lacks knowledge and experience.

Shu Jingyun explained, "This is so strange. Think about it, the prefect of Jinling is elected every three years. Those who have served for a long time have reached the end of their three consecutive terms. Those who have been served for a short time may not even serve one term. The same is true for General Jinling. In the same way, he is just an official in the water. Jinling King is different. He has been in Jinling for decades, and he is a real local snake. Although the Cao Gang is a Jianghu gang, it is definitely a big gang among the gangs. It was cut off by the Cao Gang, even the imperial court’s food is dependent on water transportation. These gangs have been around for a long time, even far exceeding the Jinling King’s management in Jinling City. There is a ghost if the two are not connected.”

"Ah Jing, you must not underestimate the people below." Shu Jingyun taught patiently, "Take the affairs of the court as an example. If the ministers are not careful, the emperor will not be able to see the truth of the world. Take Jinling City as an example. Their gang is not only involved in water transportation, but also has some secret business on the shore. What is going on in Jinling City, the King of Jinling doesn't know, the prefect of Jinling doesn't know, the general of Jinling doesn't know, but they must be the first I know. Although these people are small, they are the type of people who are most prone to bad things."

Lin Jing nodded earnestly, "Yes." There are high and low status, but when people with high status want to do things, they often drive these people with low status.Do you think people at the bottom have no wisdom?People who think this way will not live long.Lin Jing grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, regardless of his young age, he knows everything in the palace.Not to mention anything else, the servants in the palace look humble, if you really look down on them, you will never get a living in the palace.

Lin Jing asked Shu Jingyun a lot about the world outside, and went to read with the prince the next day.

The prince is young and doesn't have much homework.

Lin Jing was listless after listening to the homework he had already learned. Fortunately, it was the Longevity Day, and Emperor Zhaode gave the prince a holiday early.The prince also rewarded a group of accompanying readers.

Lin Jing returned home with a bunch of things, and said to the maid, "Put it away after it's in the book."

Nanny Zhang smiled, "Since it was rewarded by His Royal Highness, I think this jade pendant is not bad. I should wear it on my body when my brother goes to study in the palace." home.For example, it is best to carry some small items with you to show that you know your kindness.

Lin Jing lived in the palace for six years and didn't know the prince very well, so it can be seen that the two really don't see each other very well.Lin Jing said, "I have the jade my aunt gave me."

Nanny Zhang persuaded with a smile, "It's okay to change it."

Lin Jing agreed.

Within a few days, Lin Jing heard the news that Mrs. Xie Guogong had gone to Shouan Palace to pay her respects.

Lin Jing immediately understood, Xie Guogong's mansion, this is urgent.

Ever since Empress Xie was grounded by Emperor Zhaode for her indiscreet behavior last year, and she didn't even ask Empress Xie to show up during the Chinese New Year, there have been many speculations in the court.If Empress Xie is not allowed to show up on the Longevity Festival, what will Emperor Zhaode plan to do?Duke Xie's mansion was naturally worried about the safety of Empress Xie.

Lin Jing really didn't know what Emperor Zhaode's plan was. Xie Guogong was a veteran of the three dynasties. Xie Guogong's mansion had been in operation for many years. When the Empress Dowager Lin wanted to take power in the court, she had to appoint Xie's daughter to win over Xie Guogong.Has Emperor Zhaode already emptied Duke Xie's mansion?Although it is necessary to impose a small punishment on Empress Xie, if she does too much, Duke Xie's mansion will definitely not be easy to provoke!

Lin Jing was thinking about where the Xie family would go, when she saw Zhang Nanny came in with a post, and said with a smile, "The concierge sent it in, the Xie Guogong's mansion invited fourth master's post."

Lin Jing smiled, "I'm looking for big brother if I have something to do, why is it for me?" Take it over and have a look.It turned out that the grandson of Xie's family invited him to go to the house for a drink. Lin Jing thought for a moment and smiled, "Go and tell Xie's family, I will definitely go."

Lin Jing took the post to Lin Yi to discuss it, and Lin Yi said, "Since a classmate is looking for you to play, just go. If Xie Guogong says something, don't just agree."

"Don't worry, I won't say anything." Lin Jing was full of confidence, went to hug Lin Ze, and smiled, "Brother Ze is sinking again." Then he asked Yue, "Does sister-in-law like sour or sour?" Do you like spicy?"

Yue Shi laughed, "It's strange this time, I like sweet things."

Lin Jing said, "Sour, spicy, sweet, are they twins?"

The Yue family laughed straight, "I have accepted the good words from my fourth uncle."

Lin Jing wanted to stay with the Yue family and talk for a while, but Lin Yi was worried about him and asked him to teach in the study.Lin Jing was quite dissatisfied, "Big brother is getting more and more domineering, I have a lot of things I want to say to my sister-in-law."

Lin Yi said, "Why didn't you tell me these things?"

"Sister-in-law is so nice." Lin Jing saw that Lin Yi strode like a shooting star. He was weak and small, with two short legs, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep up with Lin Yi's pace.Lin Jing became angry from embarrassment, and shouted, "Big brother! Can't you wait for me!"

Lin Yi turned around and saw that he was panting for breath, his face was flushed, and he said insincerely, "I forgot that your steps are short." He stretched out his hand, "Come here, I will lead you along."

Lin Jing lost his temper, and stood still, "Am I a cow? I need someone to lead me."

Lin Yi said, "Aren't you just looking for trouble?"

Lin Jing felt that since Lin Ze was born, the sister-in-law had another one in her belly, and the elder brother would not love him anymore.Now that he said that he was looking for trouble for nothing, Lin Jing's heart of glass shattered all over the ground, and he said flatly, "It's just looking for trouble for nothing!" What to do!

Lin Yi asked, "Are you looking for a beating?"

Lin Jing stretched out a small thin arm, provocatively, "Hit it, hit it, hurry up, hit me to death!"

Lin Yi laughed angrily at him, turned around and put him on his shoulders to sit, and said with a smile, "I'm so jealous, it makes me sour. Don't make trouble, how could I not love you."

Lin Jing hummed, "Big brother hasn't talked to me for a long time, and he doesn't ask me to sit on the neck anymore." Of course, sitting on the shoulders is not bad, and you can see quite far.

Lin Yi sighed, hugged him with one arm, and tapped his forehead, "It's true that if you are close, you will complain if you are far away. You are a real villain."

Lin Jing was not ashamed at all, raised his sharp chin and said, "I am very young." Putting his arms around Lin Yi's neck, "Big brother, let me sit on your shoulders."

"Seeing that you have nothing to do today, I won't let you sit."

"Let me sit down for a while, just for a while, for a while." Lin Jing said countless good things, and Lin Yi just refreshed, "Okay."

Lin Jing was overjoyed immediately, Lin Yi pretended not to know, and was surprised, "Yo, you've already arrived in the study! I have to carry Brother Jing next time!" Put down Lin Jing, and let me go!

Lin Jing hugged Lin Yi's thigh and refused to leave by himself, "Brother, carry me once, carry me once!"

Lin Yi had no choice but to carry him from outside the study to the inside. Lin Jing was happy now, and he never responded to Lin Yi's exhortations. He patted his small chest as a guarantee to Lin Yi, "Don't worry! Xie Guogong's mansion will definitely It’s to test out Empress Xie’s confinement with me. What does this have to do with our family, I don’t live in the palace now! Don’t worry, big brother! I know the pros and cons!”

Lin Yi was very satisfied, and Lin Jing took the opportunity to raise conditions, "I am so obedient, is there any reward for big brother?"

"You should be obedient, and you dare to ask for a reward? If you are not obedient, you should be beaten."

Lin Jing raised his eyebrows, "If elder brother is willing to carry me one more time, I will be more obedient."

Lin Yi said, "You are always so childish, it makes people laugh."

Lin Jing wasn't fooled at all, and said, "Who cares who makes a joke, anyway, he dare not laugh in front of me. Brother, do you want me to be more obedient?"

Seeing his petty appearance, Lin Yi was helpless, and sighed, "Lin Xiaosi, do you know what it means to push an inch?"

"do not know."

Lin Yi picked him up and spanked him, "I'll let you know."
