Auntie Lin of the Red Chamber

When Lin Ruhai arrived at Shen's mansion, he saw his senior brother, and honestly and obediently explained to his senior brother what happened before and after being "forced into prostitution" by King Yongjun.It's impossible not to explain, he has to take action next, and he can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from his senior brother who knows him very well.Lin Ruhai couldn't imagine how angry his senior would be if he was asked by his senior brother to come to his door and explain to him...

Even so, Shen Zongyuan was still terribly angry, and the fire in his heart rushed to his forehead in clusters. Looking at the seemingly well-behaved little junior in front of him, he gritted his teeth secretly: If it weren't for you, Lin Ruhai is already the father of four children, I would I really want to kick it over...

Lin Ruhai saw that his senior brother was so angry that his chest heaved violently, so he hurried forward to pat his back.He knew that his senior brother would be angry, but he didn't expect to be so angry. Lin Ruhai didn't know the difference between explaining in advance and explaining later, so he repeatedly persuaded: "Brother, take care of your health. It's all mine, brother, why don't you beat me with a ruler like before."

When Shen Zongyuan heard what his junior brother said, he felt that his junior brother was not only bold and ignorant, but also respectful, so he shook off his junior brother's hand on his back and scolded Lin Ruhai: "You boy, you boy, you are all fathers. You are so disrespectful and careless, are the royal people so easy to provoke, ah, who do you think you can fool with your little cleverness? Ah, balabala..." During the period, Lin Ruhai served four A cup of tea, three pots of water refilled, finally waited until the attendant outside had to come in to ask for instructions: It's late, the food has been reheated twice, sir, when can you have lunch.

Shen Zongyuan put away his words, glared at Lin Ruhai, and signaled the attendants to serve the food.He is also hungry, and scolding people is exhausting.Lin Ruhai touched his nose, and nimbly stepped forward to reach out to help his senior brother.When you are guilty, you have to behave well. Lin Ruhai hopes that senior brother can see that he can mitigate his guilt because of his good attitude of admitting his mistakes.But on the contrary, Shen Zongyuan was so angry that he glared at his junior brother again, and acted like a good boy again, but he was only in his prime, and he didn't need help.

Lin Ruhai went back to the Lin Mansion under the stars. Fortunately, they all lived in Xicheng District, where officials gathered, and there was no curfew.The reason why it was so late was that Shen Zongyuan wanted his two sons to give their uncle Lin Ruhai a detailed and vivid explanation of the government affairs at this time.Shen Zongyuan felt that the reason why his junior brother fell into such a situation was because the junior brother did not really understand the danger of the current situation and did not raise his vigilance, so he was careless and negligent. Otherwise, the junior brother's exquisite heart would never let Yong Jun Wang took his chance.In other words, Senior Brother Shen used to have a good impression of the pragmatic fourth prince, but after this incident, he felt that there really is no good person in the royal family...

Shen Zongyuan has two sons. The eldest son, Shen Bang, is currently the censor of the Fourth Rank Youqian Capital, in charge of supervision and law enforcement. Therefore, he knows very well about the civil and military officials in the court.The second son, Shen Kuang, is a bachelor of the fifth-rank Hanlin Academy. He is in charge of studying historical works, etc. Although he is from the Qingshui Yamen, he is the most well-informed.With these two appearances and explanations, Lin Ruhai really had a new and in-depth understanding of the position he was about to accept.

Shen Zongyuan couldn't come up with an effective solution at this time. In this society where imperial power is supreme, even if Lin Ruhai won the favor, he still couldn't openly and clearly reject the prince.If he really wanted to annoy him, Lin Ruhai would not be able to get along in the court first, especially since the prince still held the real power, he was quite trusted by his father.I had no choice but to make a secret decision in my heart, I must protect my junior brother well, at least let him escape unscathed.

Lin Ruhai saw that his senior brother had been suffering and grieving, and smiled, and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, King Yongjun values ​​me very much, and he will still use me in the future. Although he won't let me go, but I will definitely not let me fall into the quagmire easily. After all, only when I am well can I do a lot for him. From this point of view, King Yongjun will definitely protect me. Taking a step back, from the present Look, among these few princes, although King Yong is not the most powerful, he has always been the most stable. Maybe we don't have to be so pessimistic."

Shen Zongyuan never knew that his junior brother was so generous and bold, so he glared at him again.There is no way, since my son is here, I have to save some face for their uncle.What he doesn't know is that his two sons actually think the same way: there is no need to worry too much, the momentum of King Yongjun can still be expected, even if he really follows him, the king of Yongjun must be a powerful person at worst The prince in my hand, the uncle will not be bad in the end.

Judging from the perception of the favorability of the Shen family brothers, Wang Tuzhen of Yongjun was a pioneer of clean government, and while completing the task of the old man, he also fully met his potential expectations.Although Tuzhen had to do many errands that offended others, he still had plans in his heart.First of all, he stands on the ground of righteousness, standing on the commanding heights of morality. What he does is high-spirited and upright, and he enforces the law. Workers have a good impression.

Secondly, only if he is willing to be willing to be himself, to be an unstoppable knife in the hands of his father, can he be seen and remembered by the superior emperor, and he will be favored and reused in the future, and then Only then can he accumulate his own small family business and start his unspeakable dream.

So although Tuzhen offended many people in the court, his reputation has never been bad.Even the courtiers who are at odds with King Yongjun have to admit: King Yongjun is indeed very capable, but the important thing is that he has a clean mind and has been doing practical things.That's why, if King Yongjun was forced to go too far by those offended courtiers, not only would the emperor's father intervene to block and defend him, but he would also be supported by honest and honest neutral parties who couldn't see past it.

Lin Ruhai felt that the incident about King Yongjun could come to an end, and then brought up another matter, the study and life of his sons, far and near, the latter was obviously more important than the former, and he would come to study tomorrow morning It is more urgent to solve, so I asked: "Brother, how do you make arrangements for your nephews, specifically in terms of life."

In terms of academic qualifications, Lin Ruhai is a Jinshi and ranks third in the country, Shen Zongyuan is only a Jinshi, and Shen Zongyuan is a little worse than his junior.But when it comes to the level of profound knowledge and proficiency in miscellaneous subjects, Shen Zongyuan said unceremoniously that he can beat his junior brother Lin Ruhai by a large margin.Lin Ruhai didn't think of this festival at all without being reminded, but Shen Zongyuan, after confirming with his junior brother yesterday that the nephews would come to study with him, his good uncle has already made arrangements for the nephews It's posted.

In terms of residence and housing, a small courtyard was created for the four young masters of the Lin family. It was next to the young master Sun of the Shen family. When they went out, they walked through a short verandah, passed through a hanging flower gate, and then passed through a three-story Yi gate. study.In terms of furnishings in the house, there is a Xuan kiln porcelain box on the big red sandalwood carving table, an old kiln vase on the plum-shaped foreign lacquer table, and a few bright seasonal flower bouquets in it, and a set of Western tea sets on the rosewood round kang table. The houses are neat and tidy, and there are glass kang screens, large glass mirrors, exquisitely embroidered screens, etc., which are not much inferior to the houses of the serious young masters of the Shen family.In terms of staffing, two rough envoys, four servants, eight young maids and four big maids were personally arranged by Shen Su, the wife of Shen Zongyuan, the old lady of the Shen residence.Meals and meals were provided by the old lady's small kitchen. This was personally explained by the good uncle Shen Zongyuan. It was not because he was worried that the big kitchen of Shen's mansion would dare to treat his nephews badly. He was just worried that the food in the big kitchen was not refined. It will not suit the taste of the teachers and nephews.

When Lin Ruhai heard that the senior brother had arranged it so well, he was a little touched and wanted to thank him, but if he thanked him solemnly, the senior brother would be angry instead, so he didn't mention the matter at all, and just said: "Senior brother arranged for them brothers so well, I I want to live in Shen's residence." After being glared at by his senior brother, he faked a cough to hide his embarrassment, and then said: "Does senior brother want them to stay in Shen's residence? In fact, from Lin's residence to Shen's residence, coming and going It's very convenient."

Shen Zongyuan felt that he wanted to stare at his junior brother again, but that one had already worn his cheeks and didn't want to regret it at all.Brother Shen also thought that such indecent behavior should not be a habit, and decided to take it back so as not to waste his feelings. Besides, he also knew that his junior brother was the kind of person who didn't know how to do housework, but he still couldn't help but "huh" at his junior brother. After a while, he said: "It's okay to come and go now, but in another month, the late autumn in Beijing will be colder than the deep winter in Suzhou, not to mention the long winter and early spring, and the nephews are still so young. How can you bear coming and going in the morning and evening, you really don't care about being a father."

Lin Ruhai really wanted to explain to his senior brother that the carriages of the masters of the Lin family are definitely of high quality, exquisitely constructed, and well-equipped, especially the carriages used to pick up and drop off the young masters. I dare not boast about anything else. The heat preservation facilities must be perfect and perfect. , It will never be a hair of the young masters.But he also knew that it was the brother's kindness, so he nodded to show that he was taught.Thinking again, what should I say about Shuxiu, if he brought it up rashly, the senior brother will definitely be angry, and the senior brother has already been angry once today, if he gets angry again, it will not be good.Lin Ruhai thought about it for a while, and decided not to mention it for the time being, it was getting late, so hurry back to the house... So Lin Ruhai said goodbye and left, and went back to the house.

During the day, Wu Jin has already packed the daily necessities for his four sons.What Wu Jin thinks is, no matter whether he is a permanent resident or a commuter, he must stay in the Shen Mansion for a few hours. Is there any time in between? The four sons must eat, drink, and sleep. Can't go wrong.When Lin Ruhai returned to the mansion to explain the specific matters, Wu Jin secretly sighed that he was really good at predicting...

Seeing that Wu Jin had prepared clothes and utensils for his sons in advance, Lin Ruhai looked up and down his little wife with a surprised look.He has always felt that Wu Jin is young (14 years younger than him). Although he has four children, he is still a child. He may be good at playing with his sons. , that is definitely not competent, but now suddenly it seems like a different person, more virtuous and dignified...

Lin Ruhai made Wu Jin feel all hairy. Looking around, the maids and mothers had already gone out. She could be bolder. She stepped forward and patted Master Lin twice, asking: " What are you looking at? It's weird."

Lin Ruhai smiled, as if being touched twice by the little wife, and replied: "I just thought you looked like a mother, but when you move, you don't feel like it anymore."

Wu Jin didn't want to shoot this time, she wanted to kick: I have never seen such a teaser.Humming at Master Lin in front of him, Wu Jin thought I'm being generous and I don't care about you anymore, so he turned around and went back to the inner room, and went to sleep.

Lin Ruhai was probably being "hummed" a lot today, and she didn't feel like she didn't care anymore. Seeing Wu Jin turn around and leave, she just felt that the little wife's petite appearance is also very cute, so she got up and raised her legs to follow inside. room...
