The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

After Lin Daiyu celebrated her birthday, she was going back to the palace as usual, but Lin Mingyu still sent her to the gate of the palace.There were two young eunuchs waiting at the gate of the palace. When they saw the carriage of Lin's mansion, they immediately stepped forward and slapped the carriage, saying: "Auntie is well, Your Royal Highness ordered the servants to take you back to the palace." Waiting for Lin Daiyu After asking, he saluted Lin Mingyu again, and said, "Princess, just ask Young Master Lin to follow Aunt Lin into the palace."

When he was in the mansion, Lin Mingyu received the order from the palace, and entered the palace to have an audience with Concubine Rong Gui.At that time, I guessed that it was the meaning of the fifth princess, but now that I heard it, it was as expected.

Because Lin Mingyu was well prepared, Lin Mingyu was well-dressed and was able to appear on the stage.Then they escorted Daiyu into the inner palace together in front of Daiyu's carriage and sedan chair.

Although the fifth princess invited her, as a rule, she had to meet the queen first before going to Concubine Rong's palace to pay her respects.It's just because of loyalty to the king, although the empress is still in the middle palace, it is no different from house arrest, Lin Mingyu just waited outside the palace for a briefing, after kowtowing, the eunuch led the way to Concubine Rong's palace.

Since I was young, I didn't realize that the older I get now, the more strict the rules of entering the palace. Everyone has to kneel and kneel when seeing everyone. Lin Mingyu is unwilling to enter the palace unless necessary.

After drinking a cup of tea in the side hall, Concubine Rong, dressed in a dignified and graceful manner, strolled here with the support of Lin Daiyu.When Lin Mingyu saw the ceremony, she knelt down, Concubine Rong smiled and said: "Forget it, here in the palace, don't be restrained. It was the emperor who was thinking of Daiyu today, so I thought of taking this opportunity to ask you to come and see me too." On the one hand, I heard from Daiyu that now you are working hard at home every day, and you have left all your friends on trips? I am very happy to hear that, young people, you should work hard like this, next year will be the year of your career , Come to think of it, Master Lin wishes you to go to the court to try it out."

"What the concubine concubine said is that the boy is studying now, so that he can be more confident in the next year's end." Lin Mingyu responded respectfully, and couldn't stop muttering in her heart. She thought it was Tu Linger looking for him, but it turned out that it was Concubine Rong's Meaning, I don't know what Concubine Rong Gui is thinking, could it be that she is implying that she can't succeed in business because of her studies?

It took only a moment to think wildly like this, and Concubine Rong Gui said: "You should be like this. With your talent, studying for the imperial examination is a serious thing. As for economic vulgar things, just let the people below do it. I am going to tell you , the former son Yunhua entered the palace and sent the silver, so I thought not to let you waste your energy on this. I thought, you must be afraid that we will take the shares, don't dare to let us It’s a loss. I can’t make the decision with the Queen Mother. In the future, I’ll subtract seven points from my profit, and I’ll add it after your imperial examination is over, and it’s settled like that.”

Concubine Rong suddenly let go of this freshman fat, Lin Mingyu was a little afraid to eat it.Besides, the profit of the shop Zhuangzi is very considerable now, and he doesn't care about this little money.I believe Concubine Rong also understands this point, so she has ulterior motives in bringing this up now.Too many words and too many mistakes, Lin Mingyu decided to wait and see what happened.

"Thank you for your understanding, the concubine, I am very grateful."

Concubine Rong smiled, pointed to the dim sum on the table in front of her, and motioned to Lin Daiyu: "These dim sum are newly made recipes in the dining room, so I just offer them up, I always think they are fresh and not greasy, they are very good. Daiyu, bring these to Brother Ming to taste."

Lin Daiyu, who was short in stature, directed the maid to bring down the snack that Concubine Rong pointed out.While turning around, he quickly gave his younger brother a searching look.

Lin Mingyu clasped his hands lightly, and returned a soothing gesture. This movement was very slight, like straightening his sleeves, and it didn't attract people's attention.

Thanks for the reward, Lin Mingyu naturally pinched a piece under the watchful eyes of everyone, and took a light bite.While complaining about indigestion in her heart, she heard Concubine Rong pretending to be unintentional and saying: "Brother Ming should be fourteen? When I saw you in the garden that day, you still looked like a child in a daze, and Huang'er was also delicate and tender." Every time I think of it, I think of your kindness to the emperor that day. You are kind."

Lin Mingyu quickly stood up and listened to the training with his hands down. Concubine Rong said: "Fang said that there is no need to be formal, I just sighed for a while, you can sit down at ease. Are the snacks delicious?"

I don't know how Concubine Rong changed the subject, but Lin Mingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The rewards from the imperial concubine are nothing bad."

Concubine Rong stared at him thoughtfully for a while, then smiled: "Is that true? Since you like it, I ordered the dining room to prepare an extra copy for you to take home and eat slowly. After talking about this , Ben Gong is also tired, the emperor said that the books you brought into the palace last time were very good, and you always quarreled with me for mediocre ones. Such a wonderful book."

After bidding farewell to Concubine Rong, Lin Daiyu was also assigned to return to the Palace of the Five Princesses. After all, she was the aunt in charge of the Five Princesses.The two siblings walked quietly in the long corridor and alleyway, behind them were five or six court ladies and eunuchs, walking lightly, without making a sound.

"The imperial concubine is well educated. It's good for the younger brother to listen to it. You must learn at home with peace of mind, and don't fail everyone's expectations." Standing outside the palace, Lin Daiyu stopped, took her younger brother's hand, and said something earnestly.

Lin Mingyu quickly let go of the tightly held hand, and said seriously, "Don't worry, sister, I understand."

Under the eyes and ears of the palace, the siblings can't say more, they can only express their concern for each other in this way.

Tu Lingguang has grown a lot taller. The blood of the Tu family is tall and slender. As far as Lin Mingyu is familiar, Tu Lingguang is tall and slender. Lin Daiyu is only half a fist short. In addition, she has been favored in the palace all these years, her temperament is generous but gentle, and she has the soft charm of some girls.

Lin Mingyu frowned slightly, feeling more and more bad in her heart.

Although Tu Lingguang has made great progress in appearance, his temper is still that of a child, and he is all about having fun.The skin on her face is pink and smooth, every frown and smile are very sincere, people can forget their sorrows just by looking at it, no wonder even the emperor called her Jieyouguoer.

Lin Mingyu put down her thoughts, first answered all kinds of weird questions from Tu Linger, and then promised to collect new and interesting things for her as gifts, and then left the palace.

Once out of the palace gate, Lin Mingyu's face became serious.

The carriage went straight back to the mansion, Lin Mingyu ordered the concierge to let Master and Jiu Ye inform the mansion as soon as they returned, and went directly into the study to use their skills.

In the evening when Lin Ruhai and Lin Rui went down to the yamen, Lin Mingyu came out of the study after receiving the news from the doorman, rubbed his sore neck, and frowned at the two close relatives: "Father, Brother Nine, I seem to be swollen. It's time to..."

After listening to Lin Mingyu's words, Lin Hai, who originally wanted to scold him for exaggerating and worrying, put away his joking expression, and said seriously: "I agree with your guess, Concubine Rong's move has a deep meaning, and it is very likely that she wants you to become the fifth princess' son-in-law. .what do you think?"

Lin Mingyu called: "Is there even a need to ask? I wasn't happy that day!!"

"I see that you have a good relationship with the fifth princess? The fifth princess also favors you a lot. To become a son-in-law, you don't need to work hard to get a name in the imperial examination, but you have a ready-made official for you. Are you not tempted?" Lin Ruhai seemed to be drawing a blueprint, as if he could fly into the sky immediately with a nod of his head.

Lin Mingyu rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, you don't have to work hard, and you can be an official. How wonderful! Dad, you still took the imperial examination by yourself. I heard that the imperial examination is hard work. It takes a few days and nights. Staying in a small room, eating, drinking and messing together, many people couldn't bear it and fell down directly, and were carried out, which can be described as being gentle—"Looking at Lin Ruhai's darkening face and faintly throbbing veins on his forehead, Lin Mingyu With slanted eyes, the tone was drawn out: "...Father, if you think about your son me that much, you are totally mistaken! Who am I? I am Lin Mingyu, the direct son of xx Ketanhualang Lin Ruhai! xxketanhualang Lin Rui My real relative, no, like a good brother of my real relative! I can be so self-absorbed and degenerate..." Lin Mingyu also planned to make Lin Ruhai realize how sincere his refusal was. broken in the mouth.

"—Stop it. Brother Ming, my father has noticed that you have become more and more verbose recently. It seems that what I should worry about is not your ambition, but your temperament. As you talk so much Talkative, how to maintain a demeanor in front of colleagues and even His Majesty, that is the problem, right?"

After receiving the threat from her father, Lin Mingyu shrank instantly: "Father, I was just joking..."

Lin Rui had already smirked, enough of it, and said, "Uncle, since Mingyu doesn't have such an idea, our Lin family is not a family that needs to marry the royal family to gain glory. We should have made plans for this matter early."

"Yes, yes, dad, do you already have an idea? What idea, tell me quickly, you don't know, I'm really worried!"

Lin Hai rolled his eyes at him, stroked the beautiful beard under his chin, and said slowly: "It's not difficult to solve it. As long as you enter the top ranking of undergraduates, I will definitely give you a satisfactory solution, how about it?"

Lin Mingyu was stunned, and when he saw the smile in Lin Rui and Lin Hai's eyes, he realized: "Okay, Father, Ninth Brother, you two already knew about it, so join hands to tease me!"

Lin Rui said: "To tease you or not to tease you, the problem you face is the same. Now you have two choices, either agree to uncle's conditions, or find a way to solve it yourself."

Originally, he was worried that Lin Mingyu would resist, but Lin Hai had already prepared himself. He listened to his nonsense, but was utterly overwhelmed by Lin Mingyu's answer at the next moment: "Don't think about it, of course choose the first one. Since there is a good way, Why bother me to think about it again. That's it! Dad, remember to give me the perfect answer!"

Lin Hai's hands were itchy.

When Lin Mingyu returned to her room to freshen and change, only Lin Hai and Lin Rui were left in the room.

Lin Rui said: "Mingyu has a plan in mind, now, uncle can feel at ease."

Lin Hai had a smile on his face, and his eyes couldn't hide: "This kid is like his mother. He is strong and smart. After today, we two will take turns teaching him the art of strategy. He is still young and lacks careful thinking. Let’s watch more.”

"It's all up to uncle's arrangement."
