The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing actually wanted his aunt to explain the meaning of the words, what is meant by "When you understand the four words 'Fenghou Baixiang' clearly, you will understand what I mean.".However, Lin Jing knew his aunt's temperament, since his aunt wanted him to think for himself, then his aunt would not say anything.

Lin Jing visited her aunt in the palace and then went home.

The Yue family in the family also misses her husband, but after all, the Yue family has gone through the upheaval of the Lin family, and is calmer than ordinary women, and occasionally comforts Lin Jing, "Such a long-distance errand, sooner or later, There are all of them."

Lin Jing said, "That's right, big brother won out with Tang this time, and I'm worried that Tang's surname will be tricky and trick big brother."

The Yue family smiled, "Master Tang often comes to our house, your eldest brother said that Master Tang is a man with ambition."

"Who doesn't have ambitions? I still have ambitions. Ze also has ambitions, right?" Lin Jing asked Lin Ze.

Lin Ze nodded seriously, and said in a childish voice, "General!" It was amused.

Fortunately, it was not too late for Lin Yi and his party to come back. They returned to the imperial capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and, contrary to Lin Jing's expectations, Lin Jing thought that something bad happened to his elder brother and delayed his return home. Yi also came back with some notable military exploits, because Lin Yi and Tang Ying captured a grandson of the Western Man King, a prince named Burigude.

Logically, this is a good thing.

Lin Yi didn't show any joy either.

However, when Lin Yi saw his wife with a big belly, Lin Yi's eyes widened, and he quickly stepped forward to help his wife, not knowing what to say.Looking at his wife with both eyes, "You are so heavy and heavy, why do you still come out to meet me? Come in quickly, come in quickly."

Without waiting for the Yue clan to speak, Lin Jing said from the side, "Sister-in-law misses you, you don't need to ask."

Lin Yi glanced at him, "You're not usually the most discerning, and you didn't stop your sister-in-law."

Lin Jing smirked, "Sister-in-law is about to lose her sight, how can I stop her?"

Yue Shi smiled angrily, "Fourth Uncle knows how to make fun of people."

For the old couple of Lin Yi from the Yue family, Lin Jing went to take care of his master. Mr. Shu was still the same, patted Lin Jing's head, and said, "Ah Jing has grown a lot taller."

"That's right, I've grown at least an inch taller." Lin Jing is relatively short among his peers, especially his good friend Guan Xiaoer is a stupid big man, and his nephew Lin Teng grows up too. He also pays special attention to his stature.

Mr. Shu joked, "It's only an inch, I think it's at least half a head."

"I say an inch is modest."

After Lin Jing sent Mr. Shu back to his own courtyard, Fang went to talk in the elder brother's courtyard.Brother Lin Ze had already greeted his father, and sat down obediently. Once Lin Jing left, another set of greetings followed.

Lin Jing said, "Brother, why have you been here for so long? My sister-in-law and I are worried about you."

"Our imperial envoy is traveling, so there is nothing to worry about." Lin Yi asked his younger brother, "How are you at home these days? How are you?"

Lin Jing said, "We are all fine at home."

Since Lin Yi had just returned home, he had to clean up and clean up. Lin Jing said a few words and went to Mr. Shu's.Mr. Shu was taking a bath. Lin Jing knocked on the door and went in. He insisted on wiping Mr. Shu's back. Mr. Shu said, "What are you doing in here? It's cold, be careful not to get sick if you get in the water."

Lin Jing said, "Shouldn't it be the duty of a disciple to serve the Master? How can he not serve the Master just because he is afraid of getting sick?"

Mr. Shu smiled, "Stop talking so sweetly, go and serve your big brother."

"Big brother has a sister-in-law." Lin Jing is not tall, with his arms resting on the side of the bathtub, looking at Mr. Shu with a pair of thin-skinned red phoenix eyes, and asking, "Sir, why are you single? You can't find a wife. Is it?"

When Shu Jingyun heard the word "bachelor", her face immediately became numb. It was the first time in his life that someone used "bachelor" to identify him.Shu Jingyun said unhappily, "A boy's family, why are they always like a short-sighted woman."

"Based on what you say, I know that you deserve to be a bachelor." As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, Mr. Shu suffered a brain collapse on the forehead. She said on her forehead, "You are only allowed to talk about others, but not you. Why are you so stingy?" Rubbing her forehead twice, Lin Jing looked down into the bathtub vigorously, and Shu Jingyun quickly took a cloth towel At the waist, to block the vital points.Lin Jing pouted, with a look of disgust on his face, "I'm looking to see if your forehead is swollen. You think I'm still looking at your birds. What's so good about it, who doesn't!" He had already seen it.

Shu Jingyun was amused by his nonsense, and said, "I'm afraid you'll feel inferior after seeing it."

"What low self-esteem, I grow up so fast, and so do birds." Lin Jing was so confident that he took a photo of the water, and felt that although he was a little red, he was not disfigured, and he boasted that he had a big heart. , forget it.

Shu Jingyun was agitated by him, and got up after soaking for a while.Lin Jing was very attentive to help Mr. pass the clothes and shoes, just waiting to inquire about the affairs of the Muzhou Mansion.After Mr. Shu packed it up, he took the book and took Lin Jing's homework as an exam.Lin Jing was so depressed that when he went to his eldest brother for reunion dinner in the evening, his voice was hoarse.

Lin Yi also said, "What's wrong with your throat?"

Lin Jing said angrily, "Mr. Shu asked me about my homework and memorized it."

Lin Yi nodded, "It seems that the homework has not been left behind."

Yue said with a smile, "Ah Jing can work hard, and he takes Aze to study with him every day."

Xiao Linze said, "I learned several poems, and I will recite them to my father in a while."

Lin Jing couldn't care less about not being angry with Mr. Shu, and showed off his little nephew to his eldest brother, saying, "Ah Ze is really like me in studying here. He is very smart. Not only can he recite poems, I can also recognize characters better, and I can remember them after teaching them once."

Lin Yi nodded, "That's right." Kua Linze never forgot to praise himself, and wondered that he was only half away at home, and his son learned to show off his reciting poems. Sure enough, he is close to Zhu Zhechi!

Lin Ze, who was praised by his father, blushed very excitedly.

Lin Jing began to inquire about the Muzhou mansion with his eldest brother, "Brother, you go to the Muzhou mansion, are you used to the food?"

"Eating is similar to that of the imperial capital. There is nothing wrong with it." Lin Yi said, "There are many famous generals who ate and lived with the soldiers in ancient times. Men should not be too squeamish."

Lin Jing nodded, "Yes, there is no coquettish person in our family. After counting the big brothers, it is me."

Lin Yi believes that the younger brother's self-confidence is also an unsolved mystery of the family.

Lin Jing also failed to inquire about the Muzhou Mansion from his eldest brother that day, and the next day, Lin Jing went to Mr. Shu's again, because he hadn't inquired about the news yesterday, and Lin Jing had been scratching his head all night. After a good night's sleep, I spoke harshly to Mr. Shu and said, "If you don't want to tell me, I'll go outside to inquire."

Shu Jingyun was well aware of his temperament, so she had to talk to him briefly, "It's nothing, you don't know everything, but on the way back, I met barbarians and happened to catch one."

Lin Jing immediately sat up straight, and asked what he wanted to ask earlier, "You haven't left the customs, how did you meet the barbarians?"

"It's not unusual. Those barbarians were all dressed as Han Chinese, but they didn't expect the manpower we brought with them to be brave, so they were careless."

Lin Jing asked, "Is the one you caught the leader?"

Shu Jingyun nodded, "Yes."

Lin Jing has always been shrewd. He thought for a while and said, "Sir, don't you find it strange?"

Shu Jingyun slowly cooked tea, quite carelessly, "What's so strange?"

"Our dynasty has just won a big victory, with more than [-] people. The barbarians have suffered such a big defeat, and it is time for them to fight. Besides, how did they know the time and route of the imperial court's imperial envoys to return to the imperial capital?" Lin Jingdao, "Besides, look at your calm and clear appearance. You didn't have any injuries on your body when you took a shower yesterday. It can be seen that the battle was not fierce. I was surprised. Even a fool would know the courage to rob an imperial envoy from the imperial court." You should bring more soldiers and horses. In the end, you buried yourself in it. How strange.”

Shu Jingyun poured a cup of tea by herself, and said calmly, "You can see the strangeness, and others can see it too. It's just that this matter is not easy to handle."

"What's the problem? Everyone has been caught, so don't you have the testimony yet?" Lin Jing asked.

"This time I went to Muzhou Mansion as an imperial envoy of Lord Tang. When I arrived in Muzhou Mansion, there were many suspicious things. Even if we were able to avoid catastrophe, it was thanks to our old friend who saved us. The Zhong Yushi said that the Rong family exceeded the system, and as a result, the Muzhou Mansion won a big victory without knowing how." Shu Jingyun said, "This time I went to the Muzhou Mansion, after this battle, there were no more than a hundred wounded soldiers in the battalion. The state soldiers and horses don't look like they have gone through hundreds of battles. The city wall is still old. According to the people in the city, it is said that the war was fought, but it was fought outside the city. There must be something strange about this battle. .”

"Are you lying about your military exploits?"

Shu Jingyun said, "At the beginning I suspected that Rong Si lied about his military exploits, but as far as I know, Muzhou soldiers and horses were indeed transferred out of the city, and the abducted injuries were not serious. It can be seen that this battle, at least my court Not many people died."

"Didn't he say that he killed 2 barbarians, and where were those [-] buried?"

"This kind of war took place in the late spring and early summer. Many people died, and after counting their heads, they were burned locally. Otherwise, it would easily cause plague."

Lin Jing said, "So, there is no real evidence."

Shu Jingyun said, "It's really not easy to investigate."

"Then who is this barbarian caught?"

"The No.15 grandson of the barbarian king."

"What does this savage say?"

"You can't even believe it." Shu Jingyun took a sip of the tea, but she refused to say any more. I don't know if she was trying to keep her secret, or she was thinking about how to speak.Lin Jing peeled a freshly fried pine nut, carefully blew off the skin of the pine nut, and put it in his mouth to eat.At this time, Shu Jingyun sighed, put down the teacup, and said, "It's really a miracle that even the gods can't guess. According to this barbarian little prince, is it a big victory bought by Rong Sihua?"

Lin Jing, who claimed to be extremely intelligent, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Can I still buy this big victory?"

"Why not. The barbarians have repeatedly made troubles, so are they really warlike?" Shu Jingyun said, "The barbarians live by chasing water and grass. When the year is good, they have enough food and clothing. If there is a disaster in any year, There is no food and clothing, and the kings of their tribes can’t watch their people starve to death, so they come to grab them. Since wars, wars are rarely started because of superiors. Most wars start because of wealth. Speaking of glory Si is also a strange person, to have such a brain, the barbarian is nothing more than wanting something, he simply gives the money directly, the two sides have discussed it, the barbarian will get money and benefits, and he will gain fame, how can there be any reason?"

Hearing this strange incident, Lin Jing was unable to comment for a while, and said after a long time, "Rongsi is not easy, he has only been in Muzhou Mansion for a few years, and he can buy a hereditary title with the money of the imperial court. What a genius."

"Genius is a fart, and barbarians are not stupid. If you 'buy' him for a few more years, big things will happen." Although Shu Jingyun is a little free and easy, her three views are still much more upright than Lin Jing.Lin Jing, on the other hand, grew up for some unknown reason since he was a child, and he has no loyalty to the emperor at all.Even if Shu Jingyun didn't want to restrain Lin Jing's nature, she was worried that Lin Jing would grow up so wantonly and become crooked.

It's hard to say whether Lin Jing will grow or not, but he agrees with Mr. Shu's opinion, "This Rong is only interested in buying military exploits, and he doesn't know how he will die when the time comes. It doesn't matter whether he dies or not. The first line against the barbarians, once the Muzhou Mansion is destroyed, then the land of Jinzhong, and then endangers the imperial capital, we are all going to be in bad luck! This bastard, who cares about the life and death of others for his own promotion! He is simply not human!"

Lin Jing scolded Rong Si first, and asked Mr. Shu, "What does Your Majesty say about this?"

Mr. Shu said, "It's not easy to talk about it at the court. After the discussion, Lord Tang will secretly report it to His Majesty. Let's see what His Majesty wants."

Lin Jing said, "Your Majesty has always favored the Rong family."

Mr. Shu said, "The matter of the Muzhou Mansion has a lot to do with it. Even if you favor the mother clan, you will make a decision. This country does not belong to the Rong family, but to His Majesty."

Lin Jing said, "Do you want to make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

Lin Jing said, "Just bet on Rong Si's fate."

Shu Jingyun said, "What kind of gambling?"

"Mr. Yi said, what will happen to Rongsihui?"

"At least you have to lose your job and go to office."

"If it's possible for His Majesty to transfer Rong Si back to the Imperial Capital, but it won't cause him to lose his post, according to me, it's likely that he will be transferred back to the Imperial Capital." Lin Jing said, "Just bet on this. If I If you win, you will tell me everything about the Muzhou Mansion, in every detail."

Shu Jingyun frowned and looked at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing said, "If you want to talk about these strange things in the officialdom, I haven't seen many. But to know about His Majesty, sir, don't forget, I have known Your Majesty since I was born."

To put it bluntly, Lin Jing knew Emperor Zhaode better than his elder brother.
