The Founding of the Red Chamber

Brothers in Pine Forest Academy narrate their friendship, and Duke Rong of Qingxiang Palace passes on secret words

Lin Yi returned home at night, and Lin Jing sent someone to invite Lin Yi to his courtyard.

It's not that Lin Jingpu is old, he feels the weather is still cold, and he usually doesn't go out of the house when the sun goes down, for fear of catching cold.

Lin Jing named his yard Pine Forest Yard. In fact, there were no pines and cypresses in his yard, but a row of winter jasmine flowers at the base of the wall bloomed early and brilliantly, with a faint fragrance and medicinal fragrance lingering in the yard.

As soon as Lin Yi came, Lin Jing told Lin Yi about the discussion with Marquis Wenxiang.Lin Yi didn't know that he was only absent for a day, so Lin Jing continued to stab him.

Lin Jing pretended not to see Lin Yi's face, and said, "The Rong family don't think that having a duke in their family is a big deal, and they are so frivolous that they seem to float to the sky. The eldest girl in his family is just a concubine in the palace, but It's either the Queen of the Palace or the Prince who gave birth to a prince, one is not a direct wife and the other is not an elder, and it's not the Rong family's turn."

Taking a breath, Lin Jing took a sip of the warm goat milk and continued, "The Rong family has no good intentions to help the Second Grandfather like this. Empress Xie is not favored in the palace, but she has the prince next to her. If it is called the Second Grandfather As I wish, in the future, the two empress dowagers and mother families will support the prince born by Concubine Rong. Xie Guogong can't die of depression. I asked Wenxiang Marquis to deliver a letter to Xie Guogong. Once the eldest brother gets the title, it will be considered that our family owes the Xie family a favor. In the future, the Lin family will not be responsible for the matter of the direct prince."

At first, he just used the door plaque to talk about things, but it was just his own family status, but now he is tossing about the matter of setting up a prince, his courage is getting bigger and bigger every day.Lin Yi wished he could screw Lin Jing's head off. Fortunately, Lin Jing knew the importance of the matter, and no one else was left in the room when he spoke. Lin Yi scolded in a low voice, "Everything I said was ignored, right?" !

"Where is it? I just went out with my sister-in-law." Lin Jing avoided the seriousness, "It's fine if I had nowhere to go in the palace before, but I have to be bored with embroidery all day long at my own home? I'm not a girl."

Lin Yi scolded in a low voice, "Don't tell me these perfunctory words. Are you really stupid or fake? The title is small. The emperor is jealous of our family. You dare to intervene in the establishment of a prince. Do you think it's too late!"

Lin Jing didn't take it seriously, "At first, my elder brother obediently returned to his hometown to observe his filial piety for six years. Did the emperor not shy away from our family? Now he shrank his head and pretended to have lost his title, and he will not be able to live in the future! Alas——" Looking at the back of the head that was hurt by Lin Yi, Lin Yi said coldly, "Did you owe me a slap!"

"A slip of the tongue." Lin Jing took Lin Yi's hand to touch the back of his head, and said, "Look, it's swollen from the beating. If I suddenly become stupid tomorrow morning, it must be because of my elder brother."

Lin Yi laughed angrily when he heard his unreasonable words, rubbed Lin Jing's head with his big hands, and said seriously, "If you make up your mind later, tell me first."

"Then you have to be willing to talk to me, big brother." Lin Jing has the temper to open a dyeing workshop if he gives three points of color. You're keeping a straight face on me, I'm afraid when I see you. Fortunately, I have broken my heart for big brother, and big brother still doesn't accept my favor."

Hearing this, Lin Yi didn't like what Lin Yi would say, and asked, "Where did you learn this sour word?"

Lin Jingdao, "When I was in the palace, every time the empress complained to her aunt, she would always say something like 'My daughter-in-law has broken her heart for Your Majesty, and His Majesty still doesn't accept your daughter-in-law'."

Lin Yi trained him, "You are not allowed to speak like a woman."

Lin Jing took Lin Yi's hand and asked him, "Big Brother, tell me, how am I?"

Listening to his childish words, Lin Yi didn't bother to argue with Lin Jing, and said, "It would be even better if you would listen to something."

The corners of Lin Jing's lips were slightly raised, his eyebrows were curved, and he looked very pleasing, "Brother, I like you as soon as I see you. In the past, Aran often told me how imposing his elder brother was. I thought, Aran My elder brother is far behind the big brother."

Lin Yi couldn't help laughing, "Really?"

"Of course." Lin Jing said seriously, "Cui's elder brother is not as tall, not as handsome, nor as powerful."

Being so good at flattering, Lin Yi was reluctant to scold him, and said to Lin Jing, "I told my husband, you will start studying tomorrow, take a day off in ten days, and don't run around. I will take care of the title, you can rest assured , can’t fall on someone else’s head.”

"That's a good deal." Lin Jing said with a slanted face, "In the future, when I go out, people will say 'this is Cheng Engong's younger brother', which sounds impressive!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but said, "As a foreign relative, you should be more cautious."

Lin Jing obviously had his own ideas, "If everyone is so cautious like a big brother, the emperor will not be able to sleep even more."

"You have such a mouth." Lin Yi reprimanded, "If you continue to speak out like this, I will be annoyed." If you want people to hear the emperor, it must be a crime of disrespect.It's just that Emperor Zhaode doesn't shy away from the Lin family.

"I know, I know." Lin Jing was too lazy to listen to Lin Yi's lesson, and said instead, "Big brother, can I invite Aran to come to our house to play?"

Lin Yi asked, "The kid from Shouchanghou's family?"

"Ah."

"Okay, you write a post, and I'll have someone send it to you. When you invite someone to come, prepare refreshments in advance. Don't lose your courtesy." Lin Yi smiled a little, "At home, you can invite whoever you want .”

Lin Jing said sullenly, "I don't know anyone else either."

Lin Yi said softly, "In the future, I will go out to the banquet and take you with me, and you will meet more friends of the same age." Lin Jing was not taught by his father since he was a child. Lin Yi thought of meeting guests with his father when he was six or seven years old This is the rule of our children.

Lin Jing's eyes sparkled immediately, "Really? Big brother take me there?"

"You are obedient, and you need to be in better health."

Lin Jing threw herself into Lin Yi's arms happily. Lin Yi was 25 years old and had no heirs yet. Although there was a reason for keeping filial piety for his parents for six years, it's not that Lin Yi didn't want to have children at this age.Suddenly there was a soft little guy in his arms, Lin Yi liked it very much, but he was used to it with awe, he patted Lin Jing's small body, and said, "What is it like, come down."

Lin Jing stuck to Lin Yi and refused to move, and whispered, "Big brother has never hugged me. I have seen the emperor hug the little prince and princess in the palace before, and I thought, if Daddy is alive, he will definitely do the same." Hug me like this. I have never seen daddy, big brother, please hug me more."

Lin Yi sighed in his heart, and said in his mouth, "I really love to be coquettish, my second sister is not as delicate as you." After saying that, he still hugged Lin Jing up.Lin Jing put his arms around Lin Yi's neck and said, "Big brother, put me on the couch first."

Lin Yi had no choice but to follow him, Lin Jing stood on the couch, pointed and said, "Brother, sit on the couch."

"What?"

"Sit down."

Lin Yi sat down, Lin Jing walked around behind Lin Yi, supported his shoulders, lifted his two thin legs, and jumped onto Lin Yi's neck, Lin Yi whispered, "What are you doing, come down!"

Lin Jing supported Lin Yi's head with both hands, and said, "Brother, stand up and walk around the room with me hunched over. Before, Aran told me that his second brother hunched over him like this. Go to the street and show him the lanterns."

"Why don't you learn something from others." Lin Yi saw that there was no one else in the room, and Lin Jing spoke pitifully, so he led him around the room twice.After Lin Yi put him down, Lin Jing begged, "Big Brother, from now on, you will walk around the house with me bent over like this every day, okay?"

"You are so beautiful." Lin Yiqu tapped Lin Jing's forehead and said, "What time is it, you should go to bed."

Lin Jing had the most greedy temper, he pulled Lin Yi's sleeve and said, "Brother, watch me sleep."

In fact, Lin Yi liked Lin Jing very much in his heart, otherwise he couldn't ask him to ride on his neck.Thinking that Lin Jing was raised in the palace since he was a child, the two brothers seldom get close, and he has always been strict, the siblings in the family are not very close to him, it is rare for Lin Jing to pester him so much.Lin Yi then called the girl to come in and help Lin Jing to freshen up. After Lin Jing changed into his sleeping underwear and got into the bed, Lin Yi left only a dim light and said, "Close your eyes and go to sleep. When you fall asleep, I will sleep again." Walk."

Lin Jing whispered, "Big Brother, I really like you."

A calm and solemn person like Lin Yi originally came to set up rules for Lin Jing, but after hearing Lin Jing's countless good words, he couldn't help but feel happy and forget all about the future.My own younger brother watched Lin Jing fall asleep, Lin Yifang got up and left, and when he left, he didn't forget to ask the maid to take good care of him.

When Lin Yi returned to the main courtyard, Yue looked at her husband's face and said with a smile, "What did Fourth Uncle and Master say, and they have been talking for so long."

"Some children's talk." Lin Yi asked, "Why did you bring Jing'er back to your mother's house?"

The Yue family and Lin Yi were deeply in love with each other, and they kept everything secret, and told the truth, "Fourth uncle is young, but he is a caring person. When I went back to my mother's house, I wanted to ask fourth uncle what he meant, but I didn't want fourth uncle to have other plans. It's not that I'm making a fuss, the fourth uncle is the real brother of the master, the master is so difficult, the second and third brothers never send anyone to ask."

The Yue family chattered, and Lin Yi said, "What are you talking about, even if the second and third brothers know, they can't help. They are all old, and the filial piety has been delayed for a few years, so it's easy to talk about kissing. You should pay more attention when you go out. Bar."

The husband and wife had some words and then rested.

Lin Jing made a false claim, but Lin Yi didn't reprimand him severely. First, Lin Jing had already done the matter, and the reprimand was useless; second, this matter was not hopeless.

Lin Jing is only a child, so Lin Yi really needs to come forward, otherwise, those old foxes would not be willing to contribute to Lin's family affairs.

When Lin Jing started to formally study, the court and the court were already arguing about the Duke of Cheng'en.

Queen Xie's natal Duke Jin did not appear in person.

However, in order to balance the situation between the court and China, Empress Dowager Lin had to choose Xie's daughter as queen, which shows the momentum of Xie's family.Even if Emperor Zhaode was really in charge, and he didn't like Empress Xie more or less, he still wanted Empress Xie to give birth to a eldest son.Even Emperor Zhaode was no less afraid of Xie Guogong's family than the Lin family, but Xie Guogong was more slippery than the loach in the pond, how could Emperor Zhaode not treat Xie's family?It can be seen that Xie Jia's ability!It can be seen that Xie's family is in a good position!

Xie Guogong only showed his intentions slightly, and some people spoke for Lin Yi.And Lin Yi, no matter his background or character, stood firm: the eldest son, who has been a filial piety for his parents for six years, has not made any mistakes, why can't he become a nobleman?

As for the second grandpa Lin who was proposed by Rong Songhuai, there was evidence that the censor dug out from some latrine at that time, and participated in the story of the second grandpa Lin secretly marrying the second wife in his mother's filial piety.

Emperor Zhaode couldn't bear the disturbance, so he asked Tang Ying in private.

Tang Ying respectfully said, "Back then, Your Majesty did not pursue Mr. Lin's fault. Now Lin Yi is the eldest son, and has kept his parents' filial piety for six years. There is nothing wrong with him. Your Majesty bestows on Lin Yi to be able to convince everyone."

Emperor Zhaode sighed, "After all, it is the mother's face."

The door of the Lin family had just been demolished, and the decree of the nobility had been issued to the Lin family.

Lin Yi respectfully received the order and ordered the craftsmen to rebuild the gate as it was.On the contrary, Xie Guogong was scheming and took the initiative to say that the eldest son of the emperor was still young, and he was not in a hurry to establish a crown prince.The implication is to ask the Lin family to owe favors and pay them back later.

Emperor Zhaode reluctantly bestowed the title on him just now, and according to Lin Yi's original intention, he did not want to mention the establishment of the crown prince so soon.Otherwise, according to Emperor Zhaode's temper, he might not do anything.

On the contrary, Concubine Rong of Qingxiang Palace announced her father to enter the palace, and complained a lot, "The eldest son is here, why should father take the risk to deal with the Second Grand Master Lin, that person is notoriously confused, it is the Queen Mother The empress is also indifferent to him. Now that Duke Cheng'en has not been able to grab him, but Lin Yi has been offended to the end, even if the empress dowager doesn't say it publicly, how can she not be angry in secret?"

It was because Emperor Zhaode respected him as an uncle, and felt that his words had weight in front of Emperor Zhaode, so Rong Songhuai wanted to join hands with Second Grandpa Lin.Besides, Rong Songhuai thought beautifully, the Second Master Lin and the Queen Mother Lin were not close, but the Queen Mother Lin was very concerned about Brother Lin Yi.

No matter how much Emperor Zhaode procrastinated, as soon as Empress Dowager Lin was alive, Duke Cheng En would have a share of the Lin family.

It would be better for the Duke of Cheng En to fall on the head of the Second Grandpa Lin than to fall on the head of Lin Yi.Good to the Rong family and to His Majesty.

It's just that Rong Songhuai didn't expect that his various plans would be opposed by Qingliu in the court, and even the Second Master Lin had such a handle in his hands. It's really... mud can't support the wall.

Hearing her daughter's complaint now, Rong Songhuai said, "Don't worry, even if the emperor bestows on Lin Yi, he will be lukewarm to the Lin family. If you are worried about the queen mother, I have an idea." There are no palace people around, Rong Song Huai still lowered his voice and said his plan.

Concubine Rong sighed softly, "It's also my daughter who is incompetent. Although my daughter gave birth to a prince, she is not very pleased with the emperor."

Rong Songhuai persuaded, "Your Majesty, why bother to say such things, Your Majesty is a blessed person if she has the prince by her side, Your Majesty's blessing is behind."
