The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Coming out of Jiamu's place, Lin Mingyu got many presents, and her own servant brought them back to the Lin residence.Go to Mrs. Wang's courtyard, and listen to a few women chatting their teeth idle.One person said: "... Madam is so angry that she scolded the second grandma in the morning. Caixia is on duty today. I heard that she was thrown out of the teacup just now and her head is scratched."

Another person said: "Isn't it? Aunt Zhao asked someone to talk to Caixia the day before yesterday. If there is anything my wife doesn't know, I will keep it in my heart. Today's birthday, the whole family has gone, and the old lady is sick, so I only let her The wife is sick. The wife is not well when she comes back. She threw away a lot of bottles and cups. Now she is lying in the room and can't hear a sound. She is upset at every turn. I heard that the wife and the other side live together There is a gap, that day..."

Before the words were finished, someone scolded: "Quickly shut up! The gossips of the masters are also yours. The wife is upset, why bother to provoke her. Mothers are the old people who serve us. You should set an example for us That's good. Don't let me hear it again, maybe you have to report it to Mrs. Yu, it's not good."

There was a sudden silence in the yard, and when she heard light footsteps passing by, the woman said: "Hey, what kind of master's style is she, she's just a girl, I don't know her heart after looking at her."

Another one who was afraid of getting into trouble persuaded: "Okay, okay, I shouldn't be talking about these gossips, let's break up."

After Lara Tata, Guo no longer heard human voices.Jia Baoyu's face was flushed, and he just wanted to jump out and scold the person who broke his mouth with a screwdriver, but when he heard that someone did what he wanted to do one step ahead, he said gratefully: "It's so offensive, it's rare that you understand my heart .

For a moment, all three of them stood tall and stood outside the courtyard gate, the atmosphere was a little awkward.Jia Baoyu was about to say a few words for Mrs. Wang, but Lin Mingyu was already looking at him, with a half-smile: "Brother Bao, the second aunt's illness seems to be caused by me, so I don't think you should try to offend others. I'm going to pay my respects, I'm afraid it's really bad." Jia Baoyu was not allowed to reply, and said: "That's it, Brother Bao greets Second Aunt on my behalf, there are still guests in the house, my sister and I will go back first .”

Talking about going away with Daiyu, Jia Baoyu was not in a hurry, shy and angry, and didn't know how to deal with it. He could only sigh outside the courtyard, and didn't want to go in and ask Mrs. Wang why he was fighting against Lin Mingyu. After thinking about it, I just felt bored, so I left.Walking and walking, I came to Lixiangyuan, and my heart moved, Nai Daobao's sister was dignified and gentle, and she was the most good-natured, so it's better for Bao's sister to talk.

Not to mention how Jia Baoyu entered Lixiangyuan, Lin Mingyu and Lin Daiyu went back to the mansion hand in hand, and told Lin Hai what they saw and heard in Jia's mansion. In the end, just treat this person as useless, and you don't have to see her again."

Lin Mingyu smiled: "It's good that she behaves like this. The servants all know that she is narrow-minded, but it has fulfilled the reputation of my sister and me. From now on, I just need to anger her more and let her do her own crimes."

Lin Hai laughed angrily: "Your time is precious, why bother to do such a tricky thing. I will tell your uncle that the Jia family now depends on me and Wang Ziteng, so I am not afraid that they will not explain to you. There are many guests outside. Go out and entertain your guests."

It was a lively day, and at the end of the day, Zhou Zhaoqing laughed and said, "Master, Wen Ning is here." Lin Mingyu was also pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly invited someone in.

Song Wenning was dressed in a cool and elegant manner.When they met, they made a bow with a smile, and congratulated: "Mingyu is overjoyed, I am late, so I will accuse you first. But there is a reason for my late arrival, and I will tell you what to say, so don't blame me."

Lin Mingyu held his arm a step earlier to prevent him from bowing down, and now she sat down in front of the hall with him, Fang smiled and asked: "There is a reason, if you don't satisfy me, I will punish you for drinking." Song Wenning was most afraid of drinking, When he drank, he would go crazy, he was completely different from his usual calmness and gentleness, he just played around like a naughty boy blindly.Lin Mingyu was lucky enough to see it once and laughed at him for a month.

Zhou Zhaoqing had also heard about this, so he could only hold back a smile.Song Wenning ignored his jokes, and said with a calm expression: "I just came back from a business trip at sea. I heard that it was your birthday. I wanted to catch up with Zhaoqing and come to congratulate you. But I was stopped by General Tu and asked me to take you. This gift, these things are precious and fragile, I don’t dare to shake them, so it’s slowly coming. Do you blame me for being late?”

Lin Mingyu heard that Tu Lingguang had gifts, and they were all expensive gifts, so he was so happy that he could see his teeth but not his eyes, so he stood up and bowed, "Brother Wen Ning has worked hard, look at your dusty body, come, come, I will do it for you tonight." How about buying a table of reception wine as a thank you?"

Song Wenning laughed loudly: "That sounds like a sentence." Nai accepted it with a smile.

Lin Linming introduced him to Lin Hai, and then introduced him to Zhao Yuanchu and others.Everyone is young, and Song Wenning is handsome and talented, and because he is the son of a Fujian gentry, he is not eye-catching, so he can talk with Zhao Yuanchu and others.Furthermore, Zhou Zhaoqing came one day earlier and was already familiar with these people. With him taking care of him, Lin Mingyu also felt relieved and socialized with the others.

After dinner, all the guests left one after another.Because Jia's mother was unwell, the people of Jia's house just sat down for a while, leaving the men and Li Wan with the girls and sons here. Mrs. Xing, You Shi, Sister Feng and others had all left early.At this time the men also returned, and Li Wan and others bid farewell to Daiyu.Li Wan sent someone to invite Lin Mingyu to come, and while the sisters were saying goodbye to Daiyu, he whispered to Mingyu: "Brother Ming, my elder brother will meet you today. His name is Shang Li Xiashan?"

Lin Mingyu recalled that during the dinner, a gentle middle-aged man introduced himself as Li Shan to him, and said a lot of good things to him, but he didn't speak very sharply, and he looked very simple and honest.There were so many guests, Lin Mingyu didn't talk about them one by one, but just greeted them politely, but the man looked very excited, which left some impression on Lin Mingyu.

"It turned out to be the eldest cousin's elder brother, I said he looks kind." Lin Mingyu didn't know what to do, and agreed.

Li Wan smiled: "My elder brother is a kind man, and he looks honest. If Brother Ming gets along with him for a while, he will know. He likes making wine the most, and the wine he brews is actually better than the ones sold outside. The family also relies on elder brother's brewing to get some supplements, so they can live a better life." Lin Mingyu knew of Li Wan's family background, and her father was also a person who had sacrificed wine for the son of the state, if she didn't tell her, she would never have expected the family to live like this difficult.What's more, a daughter is still married to the Duke's mansion as the grandson's daughter-in-law.

Li Wan didn't hide it, but she wasn't good at talking about it, and her face was already ashamed: "I'm nothing more than a living dead in the mansion. If it wasn't for Lan'er, I would have gone already. I can't help you now." How much is my family? My brother loved me since I was a child. I feel very uncomfortable when I look at my nieces and nephews. I heard that Brother Ming has a lot of business to take care of now. I think he needs manpower. If you don’t mind, my brother There are some shopkeepers who know the basics under his command. They are old people who followed my father back then. They are all neat and easy to handle. They are also familiar with the way in the capital. If Brother Ming is willing, see if there is a place for them to settle? I My brother has only been brewing wine all his life, and that's what he's done with his studies. It's a pity that these family members are wasted in vain."

Lin Mingyu never expected that Li Wan would ask him for such a thing, so after looking at her, he said with a smile: "I don't understand what the eldest cousin said. Don't say anything else, just say that now the eldest cousin is the second room of the Rongguo Mansion The grandson-in-law will be the grandma of the family in the future, how many people can be housed in the Rongguo Mansion's shop? I'm afraid the eldest cousin's own property can be housed."

Li Wan showed a bitter look on his face: "You are a smart person with my status in the mansion, so you must have seen and heard some of it. I'm not afraid of making fun of you when I say it out. I, the second-bedroom grandma, has never been taken seriously by anyone. That day My family's daughter-in-law mainly focuses on spinning and weaving. She is a husband and a child, and she doesn't teach poetry, books and scriptures. On weekdays, the accountant is in charge, and the people below are often asked to do it. I am in the mansion, so why do I have such an opportunity? , but just be a wooden man. Besides, my family’s dowry was already secretly spent by you brother Zhu. This is also a story in the past, and I will tell you about it someday. Now it is difficult. I don’t want a wife, let alone her. Knowing this, it is inevitable that my family sells people. It’s just that these people are different from us, and they must not be sold. I would rather send them to work for others, just for a bite to eat. It’s just that I’m a woman I know one or two people, and I don’t know how outsiders behave, but you brothers and sisters are all transparent people, and they are different from others because of trust.”

Lin Mingyu did not answer the call.Li Wan said again: "I know this is embarrassing, and you should think about it. Tomorrow, my elder brother will come to see you. I hope you can see him for the sake of the relative's love. "

This was easy to say, Lin Mingyu responded: "Okay, just let him come to see me tomorrow, I will talk to him again if I have anything to say."

Although Li Wan was a little disappointed, but because of his preparations, he felt relieved a lot, and said: "It's settled, I will call him tomorrow. Today's favor, I, Li Wan, will remember it in my heart, just wait I'll repay you someday."

Lin Mingyu didn't say much.All the sisters from the Jia family had already come out, and Ming and Dai watched them board the car and leave.

The guests all left, Zhou Zhaoqing and Song Wenning lived in the guest room of the Lin Mansion.After resting for a while, Lin Mingyu asked the two to meet each other in the hospital after changing clothes and freshening up.

Because of what I said earlier, several people did not eat much during the banquet, but set up a new table of noodles, warmed good wine, and talked at night with candles.

When Song Wenning went to sea this time, it happened that Tu Lingguang led the vanguard to Liangying for assistance, so the caravan was caught in the sea division team and went all the way.Song Wenning told a lot about what he had seen and heard along the way, and how he got a lot of fortune in Liangying: "...that small island in Liangying has never been safe for a moment. Those famous troops are sweeping here today, and will be there tomorrow Today it is the Ashikaga family, and tomorrow it will be the Sato family. No matter who comes, General Tu will shout for people to sell weapons and supplies. Our sailors dress up as pirates, and just throw away old weapons, old clothes, tattered spears, bows and arrows I sold it at a high price, but everyone robbed it and only raised the price. I have never seen such a buyer who is willing to be taken advantage of. My team of tea, silk, porcelain, etc., I thought they could not be sold , but was also bought by that daimyo’s retainer at a high price. I always heard people say that Liangying people are tough and greedy, but now I see that greed is all there is, but people really look down on them. Rotten, just look at the miserable conditions of the people in its territory, not enough to eat, not warm to wear, and such extravagant consumption on the top, which hurts others and enriches itself, and it is not far from death. Those people are living in extreme pain, no wonder the ancients said that they would rather have peace Dog, don't be a troubled person."

Lin Mingyu sneered: "This kind of greedy person is not worthy of sympathy. You don't know how he robbed the passing merchants, how brazenly took other people's assets for himself, how he turned black and white to smear right and wrong, how cruel he was when he was in such chaos. Vicious, devoid of human nature, bullying the weak...these consequences are brought on by themselves. If you want to perish, just wait." As they spoke, they talked about the wars in their previous lives, which made Zhou Zhaoqing and Song Wenning angrily accuse them.

"This kind of beast, I wish I could kill it all!" Zhou Zhaoqing, who had a blood feud with him, couldn't bear the behavior of such a beast, so he yelled angrily.

Song Wenning was also full of anger, and said: "If I knew this, I would have replaced all the tea leaves with horse grass, and replaced the food with moldy rice. The poisoned one counts as one."

Lin Mingyu was also angry, but his anger didn't last for a day or two, and besides, someone had already taught them a lesson, but he comforted the two of them: "Don't worry, there is Brother Tu now. Let's see the fun, even if a cat catches a mouse, he can catch a mouse with one mouthful." If you want to kill him, you have to play with his claws for a long time. Zhaoqing, you see him in chaos now, and you just wish he would perish, but you don’t know that only chaos is the safer way to kill growth. Wen Ning, why regret it, we are You have to support this and suppress that, as long as someone is unjust, Liangying will not be peaceful, and Liangying people will not be able to live a good life."

Liangying is a vassal of Dahong, but he has long been disobedient. This is known all over the world.As for the fact that Prince Liangying Sato entered the court to pay tribute, the two of them only knew about it. They knew how shameless they were, and after hearing so many unbearable deeds, they secretly ground their teeth.After thinking about what Lin Mingyu said, it really made sense.

Only Zhou Zhaoqing said: "Even so, based on my temper, I must kill my enemies to enjoy myself." Lin Mingyu knew that he had revenge, so he comforted him and said, "If you have a grudge, you must avenge it. We will repay grudges with grudges. We will repay grudges every day. When the day grows stronger, there will be no one to bully. At that time, if he wants to revenge, he will avenge it. Don't worry."

Zhou Zhaoqing didn't understand why, so he silently nodded his head in agreement.

Song Wenning is a smart person, and he also saw the clue, so he changed the subject and said: "Although General Tu didn't come back with me this time, he treats you with a lot of heart. You can see those treasures, all of them are Western wonders. These are all rare treasures. I would like to go out a few more times, but there will be fewer such opportunities in the future.”

Zhou Zhaoqing smiled and said, "Mr. Song loves you the most, and he will never let you expose yourself to the wind and sun. Besides, now that you are old, it's time to get married and start a family."

Song Wenning said righteously: "How dare you say you have a family before you have achieved half of it. I told my grandfather that you must win the election and you will have a family."

Lin Mingyu smiled: "I knew Song Gong wanted you to study for the imperial examination, so I probably couldn't refuse your request. But if you don't pass the exam, maybe you won't marry a wife?"

Song Wenning blinked: "Even if I don't marry, I don't know who is in a hurry."

All three of them laughed.
