The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Under Jia Zheng's fury, his voice was like thunder.The two people in the house froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Jia Baoyu rolled down from the couch with a crash, without bothering to lift his trousers, he knelt down and shivered.Xiao Shizi was not much better, his left foot tripped over his right leg in a panic, and he almost broke his teeth.

It was only when Jia Zheng Fangfo saw the situation clearly that his eyeballs almost fell out, he couldn't believe it and said with thunder, "Why is it you! My son, you, you... are ridiculous! Absurd!"

Xiao Shizi was awakened by this claim, his body trembled, but he regained a little composure.While Jia Zheng denounced the absurdity, he covered his face with his arms crossed, making a look that he couldn't bear to see.

Xiao Shizi hurriedly straightened his clothes and wiped off the mucus on his hands. He didn't even dare to look at Jia Baoyu who was on the ground, and stood with his head held high.

Only then did Jia Baoyu free his hands to pull up his trousers. His hands were sticky, but he didn't dare to wipe them with the cloth towel on the couch.

Jia Zheng waited for a while, then turned around, glared at Xiao Shizi angrily and said: "Little Shizi, you have a noble status, and I am a small official, so I dare not say too much about the affairs of the palace. But today's matter is really serious. I can't bear it. Jia Baoyu is a descendant of my Jia family. I will bear the crime of lax discipline in my Jia family. This evil has no face to be a companion to the prince's grandson. Today I am here to resign for him Yes, please forgive me, my son. I will send you off soon!"

On the one hand, he shouted to Mingyan again: "Hurry up and pass on the family law!"

Mingyan's body trembled, receiving this order, it was like a fish out of water caught in water, seeing a glimmer of life, it was as quick as a rabbit, and immediately went to ask for family law.

Xiao Shizi was left aside, watching Jia Baoyu's body go limp and lying on the ground in horror.I couldn't bear it in my heart, but was frightened by Jia Zheng's livid face, startled, angry and frightened, stunned for a moment, finally just snorted, turned and left.

When he went out, the young servant Mingyan had brought a group of servants to come with heavy wooden boards and jumping stools.Jia Zheng's angry reprimand and Jia Baoyu's weeping begging for mercy came from behind. Ming Yan hurried past Xiao Shizi, seeing Xiao Shizi's resentful eyes made her heart feel cold, and she did not dare to take a step slowly into the inner room.

After a while, several strong servants took Jia Baoyu out, took off his trousers, pressed him on the stool and beat him fiercely.

A cry of pain reached Xiao Shizi's ears, urging Xiao Shizi to hide his face in shame and pain like sharp needles on the soles of his feet.

The flogging didn't stop until Jia's mother heard the news, and there was a commotion in Jia's mansion. Although the higher-ups kept silent, the whole Jia's mansion was full of discussions in private.

When the news spread to the small courtyard where Xue's family lived, Aunt Xue was very worried, but Xue Baochai sneered while doing her needlework: "Mother, why bother with others, this is Jia's housework, how can we Just interrupt."

Aunt Xue sat next to her hesitantly, stroked her hair, and said softly: "My son, how do you know my heart? Now that you have been sent home and you are old again, I need to do it as soon as possible." Find a good support for you. After all, your aunt’s family is rich, and Baoyu is close to you. Just because of this friendship, your aunt has to plan for you. If Baoyu is broken, how can your aunt care? Thinking of you, how is my son doing?"

Xue Baochai became more and more indifferent: "Mother, don't just think about what my aunt said. My aunt is used to saying good things and bad things. Now that we live in her house, what do we know? Why don't we find a place to move out. The house outside As long as you tidy up well, you can live in it, so why rely on others to live your life."

Aunt Xue sighed: "How can it be so easy? We are orphans and widows, and we have things like you. When we go out, we will inevitably be bullied and listened to gossip. Your aunt has already agreed to me, making decisions for you, and finding you for you. You are a good man, please bear with me a little longer. Your brother is not around now, so I can only live with you."

After hearing this, Xue Baochai stopped persuading her, and sighed from the bottom of her heart.She knew that her mother was coaxed by her aunt to believe her words. Now that her brother is doing business outside and traveling far away, she has no one to rely on. At present, she really can only rely on the Jia family. As long as she has a chance in the future, she must persuade her mother move out.

Jia Baoyu was beaten, and his wounds recurred repeatedly. It took him more than a month to heal before he recovered.During the period, there were rewards from virtuous concubines in the palace from time to time, and the imperial physician visited the door several times, but nothing from Yizhong's palace was seen.Some well-informed people inquired and found out that the harem was not peaceful. For some reason, the Empress scolded Concubine Xian for the matter, which made Concubine Xian cry hard and became angry.The Holy Majesty was furious, he flung his sleeves in the Queen's Palace, and began to dote on Concubine Xian again.

Jia Baoyu resigned from his errand as a companion, and recuperated at home every day, and was wary of Jia Zheng coming to trouble him, but he couldn't wait, and as time passed, it faded away.He is not perseverant, and when his body recovered, he mixed with Jiamu again, and still played with his sisters and maids.

Even Mingyan, since that day, has disappeared. He said that he offended the master and was punished to work in the Zhuangzi outside. Jia Baoyu sighed for two days, but also forgot about it.The books in the study were completely gone, and Jia Baoyu didn't dare to pursue it, just pretending that this had never happened again.

As for the reason why Jia Baoyu was beaten, there were vivid rumors outside. Because of the indisputable fact that he lost his status as a companion, Jia's family was really ashamed for a while.

Lin Mingyu heard the reasons, but secretly thought in her heart that Jia's mansion was taken advantage of in vain.Unexpectedly, a small lead that day led to the kidnapping of Jia's mansion today by the forces of the Yizhong Prince's mansion.It's just that Jia Yuanchun broke with the queen because of this, and he thought it well, but now that the queen is still powerful, I'm afraid her life is not as good as it seems.

It was already night when Lin Ruhai returned to the mansion.Lin Rui accompanied him into Lin Mingyu's courtyard.

The night was cool and cool, Lin Mingyu's hair was loose, and she was wearing a coat and lying on the couch reading a book.Hearing that Lin Hai returned to the mansion without combing his hair, he greeted him at the gate of the courtyard.Lin Hai approached step by step with steady steps, but Lin Mingyu's eyes gradually blurred.

Lin Hai stopped in front of him, stared at him for a long time, and then laughed and cursed: "How grown up, you still cry, are you ashamed!"

Lin Mingyu raised his hand to wipe it, and sure enough, he felt some moisture on his eye sockets.He didn't feel embarrassed, he ran into Lin Hai's arms happily, hugged his waist tightly, took a deep breath, raised his head and smiled and said, "Father, I miss you so much!"

Lin Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, let him hug him for a while, then pulled his hand away, and scolded: "It's not good, why don't you stand up quickly."

Lin Mingyu stopped sticking to him, and smiled at Lin Rui, "Ninth Brother, you're back too."

Lin Rui also smiled and said, "After the envoys were settled, and I reported to the Holy One, it happened that my uncle also returned to the residence, so I came back together."

Lin Haidao: "It's okay, the envoy of Liangying will be received by the Ministry of Rites. Your mission is considered complete, so you can live in the mansion."

"Mingyu, your ninth brother and I haven't had dinner yet, so go get a pot of wine, and let the three of us have a good drink."

Lin Mingyu responded with a smile.

Immediately, the Lin Mansion came back to life. Lin Heng quickly set up a table, all of which were Lin Mingyu's favorite dishes. Lin Hai kept smiling and cast a satisfied glance at Lin Heng.Lin Heng waited on him proudly. If he wanted to figure out what the old master meant, he was still young.

While drinking, Lin Hai said, "Mingyu, how is your relationship with Li Shilang's family?"

Lin Mingyu thought for a while, understood what he meant, shook her head and said, "I'm also puzzled, when I lived in Rongguo Mansion last year, my cousin Li Shi was quite considerate to our siblings, and she also told me about her brother I told my father about this, and later her elder brother sent this wine over. It happened that I went back to Suzhou, and I haven’t seen him since. I heard from Uncle Heng today that this Li Dalang often came to the house. I just want to find a time to meet him and find out why he came."

Lin Hai nodded: "The Li family is not a respectable family, but they are still good people. If you need help, you can help, but on your grandmother's side, you also need to be more considerate."

This was to tell Lin Mingyu that if the Li family's courtship involved the Jia family, then the Lin family would not have to intervene. After all, the Li family and the Jia family were the real in-laws.

Lin Mingyu nodded in agreement.He asked Lin Hai about Lin Daiyu again.Although Lin Hai had already said it just now, Lin Mingyu's impression of this sister made him always feel that Lin Daiyu was a weak woman who needed to be cared for. Still a little worried.This is probably due to the man's nature in his bones.

Lin Hai told him about Lin Daiyu's trifles in detail.Since he entered Beijing, entering the palace has been like a routine.On the day of the draft, Lin Hai was a member of one party, and Lin Daiyu should have been on the waiting list, but he had expected this early on. When discussing with the Holy Majesty, he hinted from time to time that Daiyu was weak and inconvenient to enter the palace, the Holy Majesty Sure enough, it was not forced.Who would have expected that Jia Yuanchun would later take the lead and add Lin Daiyu to the roster in the way of a queen, leading to all these incidents.Lin Hai also had to sigh, fate!

But since Lin Hai returned to Beijing, the Holy One remembered the promise he had made to Lin Hai that day, perhaps out of guilt, he specially allowed Lin Hai to meet Lin Daiyu and his daughter.

With such convenience, Lin Hai knew Lin Daiyu's situation in the palace like the palm of his hand, and naturally knew the protection that Concubine Rong gave her, and was grateful in his heart. It's just that he is a foreign minister, so he must not have anything to do with the concubine of the harem , So just write down this gratitude.Concubine Rong has no children, and judging by her attitude, she is also unwilling to join the battle for the throne. Lin Hai feels that this is the possibility of their cooperation.Concubine Rong didn't join the team, but she was on the side of the Holy One, which was the same as her own philosophy.

Concubine Rong is a smart person.

Knowing this incident, Lin Hai did not object to Lin Daiyu's appointment in the palace, but gave advice from time to time to make her correct her position.Lin Daiyu is safe in the palace.

"By the way, Mingyu, Daiyu asked me to pass you a word."

Lin Mingyu was very interested: "What are you talking about?"

Lin Hai laughed and said, "I don't know what kind of luck you have had, kid. The fifth princess immediately thought of you when you came back. Daiyu asked me to tell you that the fifth princess will call you into the palace tomorrow and ask you to prepare some for the princess." What about the gift. She said that the gift should be unique."

When Lin Hai said this, there was some pride in his eyes.He also came to Beijing and knew that Lin Mingyu had written a collection of fairy tales for the five princesses, and got a copy from Lin Daiyu. After reading it, he also praised Lin Mingyu's ingenuity.Knowing that the palace is planning to publish the book, Dahong's children will have the opportunity to read this fairy tale.It is said that there is already a storyteller in the family of the rich and powerful in Kyoto who can change the fairy tale into a storybook and sing it.

Lin Mingyu is famous.

If he became famous before taking the imperial examination, his road to the imperial examination should be much smoother in the future.How could Lin Hai not be pleased.
