The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Mingyan dug out a large pile of exquisitely bound books from the corner of the study room, which may be thick or thin, but the covers are all solemn and simple.

Jia Baoyu was lazily leaning on the couch, lost in thought.

At the beginning when he learned that he had the opportunity to be the prince's companion, he was overjoyed, but because of this possible favor, he was kept away from the sisters in the inner courtyard. Apart from studying, he was studying in the palace every day. Rules, very boring.

It's a shame that Jia Zheng is so tightly restrained, and now he's by his side, even if he tried to find a reason or two to sneak into the inner courtyard, he couldn't.After moaning and sighing for a while, Jia Baoyu got up helplessly, and moved limply to the desk.

"Tea here." whispered, Jia Baoyu raised his eyes, only to see Mingyan squatting on one side, so that he didn't hear it.

A wave of anger suffocated in his heart, Jia Baoyu threw the pen in his hand, and said angrily: "Mingyan!"

Mingyan turned her head and saw Jia Baoyu's angry face, she was startled, and said with a smile: "Second Master, don't be angry, look what good things I found for Second Master!"

Jia Baoyu glanced at it, and said disgustedly: "You are also like that vulgar thing, do you want to force me?"

Mingyan hurriedly approached, put the book in front of Jia Baoyu, picked up one, and showed it to him: "Second Master, don't worry, let's see what it is and then argue."

When Jia Baoyu saw it, he was shocked and then overjoyed.He looked at Mingyan, and said repeatedly: "It turned out to be this, you have a good memory, why did you find it? I thought it was destroyed. It really is a good thing, Mingyan, you really know me best."

Mingyan smiled triumphantly and said, "Second Master, don't you know? When did the younger one not stand on Second Master's side? With our eldest girl's ability, wouldn't it be easy for Second Master to do accompanying reading? Master is really filtering Yes. Second Master, take your time and watch, I'll keep watch outside."

Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Good Mingyan, go quickly. If you want any reward, just say, I will give you what I have." As he spoke, he fumbled for a few jade pendants and purses from his waist pocket, Gulu threw it on the table: "Take it all."

Mingyan carried her away joyfully, and said with a coquettish smile, "Second Lord, keep it safe, and I'll find a new one for you tomorrow."

Jia Baoyu was already immersed in it, too busy to spare time to reply, so he just waved his hands casually.

Mingyan turned her head quietly, unable to hide the smug look in her eyes: With his noble descendants, he is still in his grasp.

When Jia Baoyu had other things to do, Lin Mingyu was not idle.Coming out of the palace, Lin Mingyu first went to Changping Palace.He received another letter from Tu Lingguang yesterday, and he was about to send the reply letter to the palace for the messenger to take back.

The carriage rattled across the street, turned an alley, but stopped.Lin Da reported from outside through the curtain: "Master, Xue's carriage is stopped in front."

"Brother Ming, please get out of the car and see you." Just as Lin Da finished speaking, Xue Pan's firm voice came.

Lin Mingyu frowned, sighed, and lifted the curtain: "Young Master Xue, we don't know each other well."

We are not familiar with each other.He even said we didn't know each other well.The smile on Xue Pan's face froze, and he looked at him angrily and resentfully.

"Brother Ming, I have business with you. Come down."

Seeing his persistent expression, Lin Mingyu knew that this person was quite dull, so she confessed to Lin Da: "You wait here."

Lin Da silently retreated to one side, Lin Mingyu got out of the carriage, and walked up to Xue Pan's three steps away: "Tell me, what do you want to do when you have repeatedly stopped my carriage?"

Xue Pan looked at him with unusually bright eyes, and Lin Mingyu's heart skipped a beat.

"Why are you so jealous of me? Although I offended you at the beginning, you should know that I have no malice towards you."

Lin Mingyu was not moved by it.

Xue Pan didn't bother with it, and said with a smile: "This is not a place to talk. It's almost noon and I'm hungry. Why don't we find a restaurant and we can talk while we eat, wouldn't it be good?"

Lin Mingyu remained silent, Xue Pan then said, "You are entering the palace today? You also want to know how Miss Lin is doing in the palace, right?"

Lin Mingyu rolled his eyes at him, and finally became interested.

Xue Pan took the opportunity and said: "I have already ordered someone to order good wine and food, you come with me. I will tell you slowly about the affairs in the palace."

Lin Mingyu nodded, returned to his carriage, and ordered Lin Da to follow his carriage.

In the restaurant, Xue Pan led Lin Mingyu into a private room, and all kinds of dishes were served quickly.As soon as Xue Pan put it on, all the servants of the Xue family and the waiter of the restaurant all retreated, Lin Mingyu turned around and nodded to Lin Da, and Lin Da also quietly retreated.

Xue Pan stood up, poured a glass of wine for Lin Mingyu himself, poured another glass for himself, picked it up, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I drink with my younger brother, this time, I will do it first as a respect."

Lin Mingyu didn't say anything, and took a sip slowly.

Xue Pan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care, and continued: "After we parted that day, I wanted to find you again to have a drink and play, but I came to the door several times, but I couldn't see you. I heard from Baoyu that you are very busy."

Lin Mingyu looked at him coldly.Xue Pan continued: "Second brother Lian is a man, I've heard of it before, but I didn't expect him to attack you."

Lin Mingyu heard him gossip about what was wrong with Jia's house for a long time, so she couldn't help but interrupted: "Are you going to fight for me? That's unnecessary. If there's nothing wrong, I'm leaving."

He could tell that Xue Pan had nothing to do at all, he just came to entertain him.

Xue Pan's eyes flickered, and he stopped laughing.The two looked at each other for a while, Xue Pan said: "I heard that you don't want to be elected as a companion?"

Lin Mingyu's eyes lit up, and she glanced at him sharply.He only told about this matter in the mansion and the fifth princess, how did Xue Pan know about it.

Xue Pan had a proud face, "My family is an imperial merchant, so I have a little more face than you think. Besides, Concubine Rong is not the only one in the palace who is powerful."

Lin Mingyu immediately understood that the fifth princess's side was not as tight as an iron barrel.But what is Xue Pan's intention of revealing such a secret to himself at this time?

Xue Pan said: "My younger sister was selected by the Empress Dowager. Miss Jia San is in the Empress Dowager's palace, and the second girl should have lost the election. I heard that your sister was favored by Concubine Rong and accompanied by the fifth princess. Brother Ming and I, but Say congratulations."

Lin Mingyu was shocked that Xue Pan's news was more sensitive than him. Could it be that Yuan Chun's influence in the palace was beyond his expectation.

"What's your purpose in telling me this?" In front of Xue Pan, Lin Mingyu didn't want to make secret words, so he simply spoke bluntly.

"The two girls of the Jia family are in the palace, and one of them is a nobleman in the palace. Brother Ming, don't you want to hide it from me. I'm afraid you and the Jia family are only concerned about face? Under such a situation, do you think that sister Lin How's the situation?"

Lin Mingyu did not expect that Xue Pan could think of this link.The matter between him and Jia's mansion, although there were quite some discords, but the main conflict was between Mrs. Wang and him. The real power figure in Jia's mansion was Jia's mother, and Jia's mother was always kind to Lin Mingyu. Xue Pan's ability to see through their actual situation was what surprised Lin Mingyu.

The person in front of him was not as stupid as he thought.

Thinking of what he said just now, Lin Mingyu thought about it, it seems that the Xue family is not completely down and out.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Mingyu softened and asked as if discussing.

Xue Pan immediately showed joy, "Brother Ming, didn't you think that the two of us can cooperate? Since both my sister and your sister can be selected, why not support each other? Besides, my sister is quite worthy in front of the concubine Xian." Love it, if Concubine Xian has anything wrong with Miss Lin, my sister can tell Miss Lin in time, so she can be more careful."

This is very blatant.

But Lin Mingyu was even more confused. Is it necessary for the Xue family to help him deal with the Jia family?

He could remember that Aunt Xue didn't have a good impression of their siblings, even when they met for the first time, it was their family who wanted to find fault.Although they were self-inflicted, to be honest, it was also because of their own schemes that they were kicked out of Jia's mansion by Jia's mother. I think they would not be grateful to me for coming to Xue's family.

"Isn't your mother very close to Mrs. Wang?"

Xue Pan said: "So what about intimacy, my family vented their anger for my aunt that day, but when the incident was revealed, my aunt turned her face and refused to recognize anyone, which is chilling. If it weren't for my sister's draft selection and their help to take care of me, I would never want to entangle with them again A group of women, what experience do you have?"

Xue Pan has been the only heir to the Xue family property since he was a child, and he insists on one thing at home. In fact, he doesn't think much of the methods of the housewife.Therefore, Mrs. Wang's attitude of watching with cold eyes has already made him dissatisfied.

Now he has a good impression of Lin Mingyu for some reason in his heart, and after inquiring to understand the actual relationship between the Lin family and Jia's mansion, he would rather cooperate with Lin Mingyu than send his sister under the control of Jia's mansion.

He is an imperial merchant, if his younger sister can become an imperial concubine, one day, he will have more status than Jia Baoyu.

In his heart, he also likes to get closer to Lin Mingyu because of this.

After hearing his explanation, Lin Mingyu was still dubious.But there is always no harm in having an extra helper. I will not completely trust him, but I just need to be on guard.

"Even so, why should I cooperate with you? My sister serves the fifth princess, so naturally she has nothing to do with Concubine Xian. It's just a matter of etiquette. Although Concubine Xian is powerful, she can't cover the sky with her own hands."

Xue Pan was taken aback for a moment, wondering why he was unwilling to accept his kindness.

"Don't you believe me? Do you know that my aunt has hated you for a long time, and she told Concubine Xian the countless disadvantages of your siblings. Concubine Xian already has prejudice against you, and it's just waiting for the right time. Do you think Concubine Rong can keep you?" Your sister? If compared with her own daughter, if compared with her own honor and name, who would she choose? Concubine Xian is pregnant."

Concubine Xian is pregnant.This is a thunderbolt.

Lin Mingyu realized that it was so.Jia Yuanchun was so lucky that he was pregnant at this moment!It is Jia Yuanchun's luck that he is old and frail today, and he did not expect to be able to have children when he is old!

When a newcomer enters the palace, there are always people who can climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix. The newcomer has a beautiful appearance. If he is favored by the dragon, he may occupy three parts of the harem. Jia Yuanchun is just a virtuous concubine. It's a son who can't get it, so her favor has no foundation to support.

But it is different now, she is pregnant, if she gives birth to a prince, she will be a strong support.If she really wanted to attack Daiyu, even though the Lin family was protecting her and Concubine Rong was protecting her, the crisis would inevitably increase.Lin Mingyu calmed down and thought deeply.

"You don't know, Concubine Xian has kept this hand for a long time, and she will announce it after the draft. You just wait, there will be news from the palace today. If it's not for my aunt who doesn't show her words, I don't know about it. According to my aunt, she has already prepared a poisonous plan to frame Miss Lin. Brother Ming, why are you hesitating?"

Xue Pan said angrily, "I've come to the end of my words. Could it be that you still doubt me? If I really have another purpose, I don't have to tell you. Just wait to see your sister's joke."

Lin Mingyu finally faced him squarely: "Thank you, but I will not cooperate with you."

Xue Pan was stunned, and then said angrily, "Why?"

The author has something to say: this time the update is really resumed, let's work hard and get full attendance!
