The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Xue Pan sat upright on a horse with oily black fur, and was dressed in a white brocade robe with cloud patterns, shining dimly under the moonlight.

"Good boy, so you are Lin Mingyu!" He looked straight at him with a fierce expression, like a vicious and cruel lone wolf.

Lin Mingyu frowned her fine eyebrows, looked at him for a while, and asked impatiently: "Master Xue, the road is open to the sky, each side should go. You blocked the road late at night, are you going to change your career?"

Xue Pan turned his head and realized that he was scolding him, and his thick eyebrows stood up in an instant, "Lin Mingyu, you can do it! No wonder my aunt who is immovable also suffered at your hands. I underestimated you."

Lin Mingyu laughed, "I don't think highly of you. Are you a dog in Jia's mansion? You just like to bite people like that?"

"Presumptuous!" Xue Pan became furious, lifted the rein, and the steed galloped forward.Both Lin Cong and Mantou stood in front of the carriage, preventing the other party from attacking and protecting the master from being disturbed.

Xue Pan was condescending, staring angrily at Lin Mingyu's face.

"Come out and talk to me if you have the guts."

Lin Mingyu said: "I have never had any friendship with you, so I have nothing to say. Mr. Xue, if you have nothing to do, why should you go, I want to go back to the mansion. If you fight for my second aunt, there is no need. Jia There is a grandmother in the house, and there is an uncle in charge of it, so it’s not your turn to ask the teacher for a crime. Today, did you hear what my grandmother said?"

Xue Pan snorted coldly: "The old lady doesn't know good people, I don't care about her. I only talk to you, you come out!"

After a stalemate for a long time, Lin Mingyu knew that this person was known as the "Stupid Overlord", a person with one gut to the bottom, who was used to mischief and domineering in the past. get off.

Lin Daiyu took his hand and said disapprovingly, "Brother..."

Lin Mingyu patted her hand: "It's okay, the capital is important, he doesn't dare to mess around. I'll send him away, you stay in the car and don't make a sound."

Lin Mingyu got out of the car and looked at people lazily.

Xue Pan smiled suddenly: "You are really like the peacock raised in my family's house, you are quite impressive. Why don't you want the jade pendant I gave you that day? It is a good jade for tribute, and it is suitable for your Lin family. That's enough, son."

Lin Mingyu rolled her eyes and squinted at him: "Am I your servant? I deserve your things. You think of yourself too much. I kindly remind you today that there are as many nobles in Kyoto as a cow's hair, Mr. Xue, You should lower your eyes and look at people!"

Xue Pan bulged his cheeks and turned his nostrils to the sky: "Am I still afraid of people?"

Lin Mingyu shook her head, she was too lazy to talk to him, and said honestly, "What time do you have to say, if you want to say it, what time is it!"

Xue Pan was about to lose his temper again, he had a cold face, facing Lin Mingyu's delicate face, for some reason, it seemed like a fire was burning in his heart, and he wanted to have a good talk with him.He didn't expect that the brat who made his aunt so angry that his heart ached was the young man he fell in love with when he entered the capital. When he saw it in Jiamu's room, he was both surprised and happy.

He kept staring at him, thinking that fortunately he wasn't the one who was beaten, it would be a pity if this pretty little face was beaten like a pig's head!However, no one could know what he was thinking in his heart, and Lin Mingyu didn't even give him a look.It was so easy to notice him, and it was as if he had never seen him before, and he sneered and sneered at him in a timely manner.Xue Pan is so old, no one dares to talk to him like this, he is angry and feels novel.

Being kicked out of Jia's house, he really didn't take it seriously.Relying on the friendship between his mother and Mrs. Wang, there is no unreasonable knot. Besides, the idea of ​​beating someone was personally nodded by his aunt, so Qu Qu has something to say.Just thinking about such a person in my heart, I couldn't help but blocked the way.

Lin Mingyu's continuous sarcasm poured through all the words he was about to say, and Xue Pan's warm heart also cooled down, and his friendship turned into cold words: "Lin Mingyu, don't be ignorant of good and evil. You wait Let's see, sooner or later I want you..." What do you want him to do, Xue Pan couldn't catch up for a while, and snorted heavily.

Lin Mingyu still had that heartless appearance, Xue Pan suddenly felt that he had made a fool of himself today, that his family was thrown in the inn and ignored, and came here in vain to see his face, it was really embarrassing.After glaring at Lin Mingyu fiercely, he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

"Master, what do you think he means?" Lin Cong rubbed his chin, unable to think of a clue.

Lin Mingyu folded his arms and thought for a while, the cold wind blowing on a spring night made people feel a little cold.Shaking his head, he got back into the carriage: "Who knows what he's going crazy. Let's go, I'm really sleepy."

Lin Rui was waiting for the door in the Lin Mansion, when Lin Mingyu entered the room, stretched his arms and yawned: "Oh, I'm so exhausted."

After Lin Daiyu saluted, Huang Ying and other maidservants helped her back to her room.Lin Rui brought a cup of tea and asked, "It's said to be a banquet, why did you come back so late. I'm worried that you will stay in Jia's mansion today, and I will send someone to ask."

Lin Mingyu washed his face under Lin Da's service, took a sip of tea from Lin Rui's hand, and sighed: "It's troublesome to go once. I almost got beaten up today."

Lin Rui hurriedly asked what was going on, and Lin Mingyu said everything.After talking and drinking two sips of tea, I felt a lot more awake: "...Come on, with today's incident, I can stay in the mansion for a while. I plan to stay for another ten days, and then I will take my sister back to Yangzhou. Brother Nine, are you going back?"

Lin Rui said: "There will be an exam in the spring of next year. I don't want to run around anymore, so I'll show you the house here. That Xue Pan stopped your car for no reason, so it can be seen that there are calculations in your heart, you still have to be on guard." Bar."

Lin Mingyu said: "It's okay, I won't provoke him, and I'm not afraid of him. This matter in the capital, if you really provoke trouble, he will not get well." After thinking for a while, he said: "Ninth brother, if you stay in the capital, I need your help with one thing."

"What's the matter. Just say it."

Lin Mingyu looked at the sky, there was a bright moon hanging high in the night sky, everywhere was quiet, she couldn't help feeling sleepy again. "Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow, it's really late today, brother Jiu, go to sleep too!"

Lin Rui nodded, didn't say anything, patted his head, and went back to his room.The two lived in the same yard, and his servant waited outside with a lantern. When he saw someone, he called out and led the way.

Lin Rui waited for the lights in Lin Mingyu's room to go out, and then went to his room.

On the second day, there was no one in Jia's mansion to invite, so Lin Mingyu felt at ease, so he invited Lin Rui over, had breakfast together, made a pot of tea, and discussed matters while drinking tea.

Lin Mingyu said: "I looked at the account books in the capital earlier. My family has four shops in the capital, two mansions, and a farm in the suburbs. There are [-] mu of land in the village, and now they are rented out by tenants. Pay the rent to Lin Heng. Lease out two shops and open a silk shop. The remaining two are run by the family, one is a grain and rice shop, and the other is a north-south groceries."

Lin Rui was slightly surprised: "Uncle is really thoughtful. The industries in the capital are enough to supply Yangzhou Prefecture. Besides, the industries in Yangzhou Prefecture are not less than here. No wonder no one in the family is envious when talking about Uncle. "

Lin Mingyu smiled so that her eyes were crescent like crescents: "I didn't expect that either. I was shocked when I saw the account book! I haven't visited that house yet, I heard it's not far from Taixue, I think Well, I’m going to take a look today, if it’s possible, I’ll make it like an inn and rent it out to students who come to Beijing for their exams. It’s safe and elegant, and I can earn some money. Ninth brother, do you think it’s okay?”

"Of course it's good. Mingyu, you used to know a lot about economics. This is very good! I don't like it most. Those ordinary scholars think that they have read the books of sages and sages. It's unsightly and unsightly, and it's waiting for the family to take money to worship. What kind of noble is this?"

Lin Mingyu clapped his hands: "I was a little worried at first, but after hearing Brother Nine's words, I feel relieved."

Lin Rui blinked and said with a smile: "It's nothing, you don't know what my family does. The seven houses are always weak, and none of the children is an official. If it weren't for my mother to be approved by my father, run the business. How can there be a way out for me to study today if I set up some shops. This is not a hidden thing in the clan, and I have received many rumors, but no one has said it in these years."

Lin Mingyu nodded, the two of them talked for a while, and together they took all the shop back and ran it on their own.Lin Mingyu asked: "Ninth brother thinks, what kind of business is this shop good for?"

Without hesitation, Lin Rui said, "What does uncle do? Brother, think about it."

Lin Mingyu laughed: "Haha, Brother Ninth, you are really my bosom friend. I was thinking about this, and I will take the official route. But buying and selling salt is impossible, and this matter is too hot to touch. Why don't we sell the goods from the sea?" .”

Lin Rui nodded: "It's a good idea, but now the sea traffic is under the control of the imperial court, and it's not easy to open up a channel."

"Then what's the matter, isn't there Brother Tu? He said last time that when the spring comes, he will change to Haiphong. Isn't this a ready-made way?"

Lin Rui also smiled: "Good idea, I will go with you tomorrow."

Lin Mingyu said: "I'm not busy. I have to go back to Yangzhou to discuss with my father before I go to Brother Tu. He will not take office until the beginning of spring. I'll talk to him today. Let's go down to the farm first. Go and have a look, I have gone through all the industries, and I have a bottom line in my heart. When I return to Yangzhou, I will have to trouble you, brother Jiu."

Lin Rui said: "What's there to say, I'm bored when I study every day."

Lin Mingyu giggled, knowing that Lin Rui was happy.

In the afternoon, Lin Mingyu took the carriage and arrived at Tu Lingguang's residence.He is still living in the Hu family's house, and it is said that he is hiding for leisure.There are as many famous sons and daughters in the capital as cross-river lords, and he has no time to socialize every day, so he simply went on paying homage to the name of the former princess and closed the door to thank guests.However, Lin Mingyu was special.

The housekeeper and Lin Mingyu were acquainted, and when they saw someone, they greeted them with a smile: "Uncle Lin is here, the son is admiring the flowers in the backyard."

Lin Mingyu saluted and went to find someone.Mantou and Lin Er followed the butler outside to play with the boys they knew well.

Tu Lingguang was carrying a pot, watering the precious flowers in the backyard.Lin Mingyu came, he pointed to the gazebo and said, "Go there and rest, I'll have someone make good tea."

Lin Mingyu drank a cup of tea, Tu Lingguang had already washed his hands, and walked over slowly.

"I heard you were in the limelight again yesterday?"

Lin Mingyu was speechless: "Brother, you are too well-informed about this news!" I was a little surprised in my heart, is the power of the Changping Palace so terrifying!
