The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

What happened in front of the Rongguo Mansion, although it was a family matter, but under the watchful eyes of everyone that day, the family matter turned into a scandal.The fault is naturally not with the Lin family, but with the Xue family, which is the origin of this incident. Because Jia's mansion has been troubled so badly, people say "too hot" and "don't care about relatives, it's not kind" in private. Li can't help but warn his own children - if he is bullied so badly, and he tries to gain a bad reputation, he will have to pull out his skin!

Because it was a scandal in the prince's house and the face of the noble concubine was involved, in order to look good for the royal family, Lin Hai let his colleagues see him severely scolding Lin Mingyu and punished him to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet Thoughtful scene.The colleague wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know the reaction from his superiors, so he could only say it in a calm manner: "Your son is young, and he knows that the sister-in-law's heart is good. You don't have to be too strict." The matter spread. .

As expected, the next morning, after the court retreated, the emperor left Lin Ruhai to speak in the hall.

After a winter, the emperor's condition is not as bad as last year's rumors, but people are old after all.The emperor's heart became more and more elusive with the recurrence of the disease.Lin Haijian has been in the emperor's heart for more than [-] years, and was placed by the emperor in the most affluent position in Suzhou, managing Jiangnan salt, taxation and silver;Lin Hai's loyalty to the emperor is beyond doubt.

Because of this, when the emperor knew that the Lin family had drawn a clear line with the Jia family without authorization, although he was a little displeased that the slave had made his own claims behind his master's back, he did not regard him as a traitor to the master, and explained and expressed his feelings to him. Opportunity.

When Lin Hai arrived, the emperor changed out of his court clothes and wore bright yellow casual clothes. He sat on a long kang at the east side of the side hall. The maid serving tea served a Mingqian Longjing. The emperor squinted his eyes, looking lazy and relaxed.The neatly braided hair glowed with strands of brilliance, and it was difficult to conceal the signs of aging.

Lin Hai narrowed his gaze, and kneeled respectfully to pay his respects.

The emperor opened his eyes, gave him a deep look, and was silent for a few breaths.At this glance, the lazy posture has not changed, but the majestic momentum has been fully revealed from the eyes.

"Get up. Chang Fu, give Lin Qing a seat."

The eunuch Chang Fu took the order to move a small stool and put it beside Lin Hai.Lin Hai knelt down again to thank him, seeing the emperor's eyes beckoning, Fang Gan sat down beside him.

The emperor said slowly, as if talking and laughing: "I heard that a major event happened in the Rongguo Mansion yesterday, and Lin Qing has heard about it."

Lin Hai hurriedly stood up to answer, the emperor waved his hand: "Excuse me, just sit down and talk."

Lin Hai had already written the manuscript before coming here, and now when he asked the question, he was even more respectful, with his head slightly lowered, and his voice was clear and clear: "My lord, what happened yesterday has something to do with my minister and my mother-in-law. ... This was originally I dare not speak rashly about the words of my mother-in-law, but in front of the Holy Majesty, there is no division of public and private interests in the world, only monarchs and ministers. This humble minister dared to speak out."

Lin Hai's compliments made the emperor's expression soften a little.Knowing the dignity of the monarch and his ministers, he was not mistaken.

After expressing his loyalty, Lin Hai didn't pause, and said calmly: "Yesterday, before yesterday, Weichen's mother-in-law and second brother-in-law suddenly came to visit, and said that the Jia family needed a sum of money urgently for a short time. Since it is a private matter, I don't want to ask more questions. , but tried his best to gather up 3 taels of silver taels that the house could take out and hand them over to the second uncle for emergency. Until yesterday, Weichen was on duty as usual, and only then did he hear his colleagues talk about the things in front of Jia's house. Weichen Niezi was also involved. Weichen was inexplicably shocked at the time, suppressed his anger and went back to the mansion, and sent someone to Rongguo Mansion to plead guilty. Niezi was so bold that he was punished by the little minister, and he shouted for injustice angrily. Weichen thought to himself , just because he can say a flower, there is no reason to offend the elders. Even if he sneers, listen to his nonsense."

The emperor seemed to be listening to a story, and was attracted by Lin Hai's narration at this moment. Seeing him pause, he immediately asked: "You are so brave, you actually complained to your father, what did Ai Qing hear him say?"

Lin Hai kept a sullen face, still maintaining a respectful demeanor: "I just heard from him that the matter was originally because the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion promised the marriage between the daughter of her natal sister Xue Wang and the second wife's first son, and asked Xue for some reason. Mrs. Wang received a large amount of silver, and the Xue family originally used this money as a dowry for their daughter. Later, for some reason, the second wife of Jia did not propose marriage to the Xue family for a long time, and because of the affair of the second wife's son-in-law, the Xue family thought that Jia The government intends to make other in-laws, Xue's son came to visit, but the second wife of Jia kept silent about Jia Xue's marriage, so she was willing to annul the marriage contract. Since Xue wanted to find a husband's family for her daughter, she wanted to take back the money lent to Jia's second wife However, the second wife of Jia didn't even pay the money, but scolded Xue's daughter for being shameless in public. It was a dispute between the Xue and Jia families. The daughter of Weichen made a vow to pray for her mother a few days ago, and she did not say anything about marriage for three years. She was always by Weichen's side and never mentioned the word "marriage". Although Weichen couldn't bear to delay her daughter's life, But consider her filial piety, and thanks to the grace of God, she gave her a decree to allow her the freedom not to talk about marriage for three years. The preface has not been forgotten, but now it is said that if people take it seriously, the reputation of the boudoir will be ruined, and the minister will have nothing to do. Seeing the Holy Majesty face to face. Gouzi happened to pass by. Hearing this, he confronted Mrs. Jia on the spot. Break with the Jia family on the spot."

"I have no way to teach my son, please forgive me!" Lin Hai said to the emperor as he lifted the hem of his robe, knelt on his knees, and slammed his head on the ground.

"This humble official can't maintain the same self-cultivation. Hearing this, he was angry and saddened. He was angry at his closest relatives and turned his eyes today; he was sad at the withering of his blood. He couldn't protect his daughter without worry. He failed the sage Long En. This is the crime of this humble minister." , The crime is serious, please punish me!"

The emperor looked at him for a while, Lin Hai said something and then turned his head, his forehead touched the ground with a sound, and his gray hair set off his sluggish figure, making him look very pitiful.The emperor's heart was touched, remembering that this old minister had won his trust for more than [-] years, if his hair was full of flowers, his family would be neglected.There is only one daughter, who is still serving the royal family in the palace, doing her best to her master, and he has heard Concubine Rong praise her more than once.Thinking of his only son-in-law, he was able to write books and essays when he was young, and the books he wrote were all about exhorting people to do good, which shows that he is pure and kind-hearted.Raising such a pair of children, how can it be called a poor parent?

The Lin family is really loyal to the royal family. As an official, Lin Hai has never failed the emperor's kindness.On the contrary, the Rongguo Mansion conferred the honorable concubine, and Shengkou personally praised "the family style is strict", and doing such a thing of ignorance for profit is really discrediting the royal family!Hmph, this Jia Wang family is really a stupid woman. Concubine Xiangui has such a natal family, so I need to mention a few words.

The emperor thought about it, seeing Lin Hai still trembling on his knees pleading guilty, the suspicion in his heart dissipated like a dark cloud, and he couldn't bear it, he said to Chang Fu who was waiting by his side: "Help Lin Qing up, she is not young anymore, Why are you still acting like a boy. I have my own decision on this matter. I heard that if your kid is still kneeling in the ancestral hall and has not come out, let him out. Although he acted recklessly, he is still pure and kind. Heart of a child, don’t punish him harshly and detain him. Yan’er is missing a companion right now, when he comes back from Xishan, let your kid go to his side.”

Tu Yan is the youngest son of his elder brother Le Fu's mansion. King Le Fu left early. The emperor loves his nephew. The current King Le Fu grew up in front of the emperor with the princes in the palace. The articles on riding and shooting are all instructed by the emperor. Compared with some The prince who is not favored is even more favored by the emperor.The youngest son of King Le Fu was treated no differently from the emperor's grandson.

Lin Mingyu knelt in the ancestral hall for two days in exchange for Dahong's celebrity, Le Fu, and Wang's celebrity to accompany her to read. If the people in Jia's mansion knew about this result, they would be bitten to pieces!

For Lin Mingyu, it is not clear whether this matter is good or bad, but at least, the relationship between the Lin Jia family has been broken since then, and the road has passed.If the Jia family wants to use the Lin family to do something, it will be very difficult.

"What? Being a companion again?" Lin Mingyu wailed: "What's wrong with these people, I'm not a good rich man, I'm just a companion!"

A book flew over at the speed of light, and Lin Mingyu dodged it, and saw Lin Hai staring at him with lightning-like eyes, "I can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth! Your Majesty's decision is also up to you ? If you keep your mouth open, you can go to the gate of your ancestors and reflect on yourself!"

Kneeling in the ancestral hall two days ago was just pretending. If he is punished today, he will definitely not be kind.Lin Mingyu winked, and hurriedly flattered his father: "Dad, calm down, I was shocked. I really can't figure it out, there are so many sons from the imperial capital's aristocratic families, and if they are around my age, they all want to let me Go do accompanying reading! Honestly, you should work hard at home, it is so difficult to take the imperial examination!"

"I'm also surprised as a father. However, since the Holy Spirit has a will, you can't allow you to pick and choose. Although there are many families in the imperial capital, the Holy One can see them in his eyes, but there are not many who personally choose them. Maybe this is your fault." Fortunate fate, work hard and don't be naughty." Lin Hai is quite proud of his son's good impression in the eyes of the emperor, although accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and it is not easy to deal with the errands of accompanying him, but with his own With his ability, if others provoke him, he will not be frightened.

What should be explained is still to be explained: "Tu Yan is the son of King Le Fu. King Le Fu has one son and three sons. Although Tu Yan is not the eldest son, he is the son of the princess. His natal family is Zhongyi Hou Mansion, and his uncle, General Huwei, was a fierce general who guarded the northwest. He resisted the Mongol Tartars and made military exploits. The general's younger sister, I heard that the young prince looks very much like the princess, and the princess has passed away, Zhongyihou and General Huwei look at the prince like eyeballs."

"Three thousand dotes on one body, this little prince can't be a devil king?" Lin Mingyu muttered.

"That's not true. I've seen the young prince once before. He is respectful, polite, gentle and noble, similar to the former prince when he was young." Lin Hai realized that the former prince had been abolished, so he didn't say more, and said: "Don't worry about the prince. No matter how you behave, you just do your duty, and others dare not look down on you."

"My child understands." Lin Mingyu felt that she had a mature soul and would not mess up her errands soon after accompanying a kid to school.

"And..." Lin Hai squinted his eyes and offered a sentence unceremoniously: "Although it is a companion reading, the homework I give you must not be neglected. One article a day is indispensable. If you fail the imperial examination, be careful Your ass!"

"Father..." You are really my dear father! !

Tu Yan paid his respects to the Buddha in Xishan, and because the death day of the princess had passed, Tu Yan stayed in front of the Buddha for seven to seven days, and then returned to the palace.After seeing the emperor, Fang returned home.

The steward greeted him personally, waited for him to dismount, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Lin Mingyu, the son of Lin Hai, the household servant, is waiting for you in the mansion. Do you want to see him, or send him away? Although Lin Hai is the household servant, Rong Shangshu Now 76, from last year to this year, I have handed in my paperwork twice to become an official. Once again, the position of Minister will be vacant. I am afraid that the person who will succeed me will be Mr. Lin. My son, Lin Mingyu is your companion given by the sage, old man I think it's better to see him."

The old housekeeper came here with the princess as a dowry. Because of his outstanding ability and loyalty to the palace, King Le Fu did not shy away from it and promoted him to be the chief steward of the palace.He watched Shizi grow up, and as an old slave of the Xu family, his loyalty to Shizi was obvious, so he was nagging, he was afraid that Shizi was young and didn't understand what he meant.

Tu Yan is fourteen years old this year, one year younger than Lin Mingyu, tall and slender, with a gentle and elegant face, quite calm.But the old housekeeper knew that his eldest son was actually very docile and had a childish temper.

Stopping the old housekeeper's words, Tu Yan smiled and said: "You don't need to say too much, I already know that the emperor pointed him out as a companion for me. The fifth aunt told me before that Lin Mingyu is a very smart, interesting and upright person At that time, I intended to ask him to be my reading companion, and it happened that he was going out. Now that this happened, it can be seen that the two of us are destined. If his conduct is really good, I will treat him like a guest and a friend. I will go first Change clothes, so as not to be rude, the housekeeper will entertain him for me."

The old housekeeper smiled and led away.

Lin Mingyu drank a round of tea, and drank another round of tea. Lefu Palace is very good at treating guests, but after drinking so much tea, he could hardly hold back... He felt a little regretful, so he came to visit the nominal man on a whim. little master.

Originally heard that the son came back this morning, and deliberately came late, but didn't want the son's time to be changed.That’s why it’s not good to be a companion, a companion, if you say it sounds good, it’s a companion to play with, but if you say it bad, you’re just a slave, a slave with a slightly higher status, it’s good to wait for the master, If you encounter a master who is difficult to serve, you can be beaten or punished at will.

The old butler relapsed after leaving, and said to Lin Mingyu: "Mr. Lin has been waiting for a long time, the son has already returned to the mansion, and he will come later." Looking at the unfinished tea on the table, he showed a smiling face and called: "Give it to Lin Mingyu." The young master serves the tea, using the Mingqian Longjing that was bestowed by the Qian'er Palace...This tea soup is very good and light, my family's eldest son loves it the most, Mr. Lin will try it."

Lin Mingyu smiled, her heart twitched, she continued to drink, it would be rude to continue drinking.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Tu Yan to come.

Tu Yan changed into a sapphire blue brocade robe and black satin boots. He was personable and rich like jade.The bamboo green gown that Lin Mingyu was wearing today was half a fist taller than Tu Yan's, with a delicate face and a silent smile. The two stood together, each being startled by the other's appearance.

Then they both looked at each other and laughed.

"Lin Mingyu, the son of the servant of the household department, has met the son, please be well." Lin Mingyu gave a beating.

Tu Yan helped him up, put his arms around him and said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite, Mingyu, I have heard from my fifth aunt that you have outstanding literary talents. I have read your "Fairy Tales" and "Persuasion Fables of the World, I like it very much because of its dexterous mind. In the future, please correct me a lot in terms of studies."

"Your Majesty's words are serious, Mingyu is terrified." Lin Mingyu still knows a little bit of shame about this matter, it's hard not to blush after being praised like this!Please stop talking.

But Tu Yan found it interesting because of his blushing, and changed the subject kindly and considerately: "Fang said not to be polite, but now he is so unfamiliar. My temper is the most unrestrained, and you will know after getting along for a long time .I only treat you as a friend, and you have to let go."

Lin Mingyu smiled and said yes.Tu Yan didn't force him, and pulled him to speak.Fang knew each other, so there was nothing to say, just ask what books you read on weekdays?What do you like to do for pastime?Knowing that he doesn't need to go to the school to attend lectures, I'm very envious: "...your father and cousin are all prostitutes, so they are naturally enough for you to study. It's very comfortable to study at home, right?"

"It's okay, my father doesn't control me rigidly. After finishing my homework, I let me entertain myself." Lin Mingyu couldn't help smiling, and Tu Yan was even more envious.He is doted on at home. Although he has an elder brother and a younger brother, they are all concubines. They can't speak in front of the father and king, and they have no threat to him. Therefore, it was difficult for them to have any brotherly affection before.

Because of being favored, his father, grandfather, uncle, and even the emperor have high expectations of him, and the burden on him is naturally heavy. Although he yearns for freedom, he can only be like a bird in a cage, trying his best while enjoying comfort. It's just my own responsibility.Tu Yan is a pragmatic person, and he knows very well in his heart that only by working hard on his own can he make his position stronger and enjoy it for a longer time.

While talking, it was already noon, and Tu Yan left food.Lin Mingyu couldn't refuse, so she stopped being polite.

The chef of Le Fu Palace is very good at cooking. It is rare that three or five dishes of Suzhou and Hangzhou dishes were served during the banquet. Tu Yan smiled: "You grew up in Suzhou, so you are used to tasting the taste of your hometown. The cook is bestowed by the palace. , Suhang cuisine, and Kyoto cuisine are very good at it, try it, does it taste the same as what you eat at home?"

Tu Yan's carefulness made Lin Mingyu have a better impression of him. Although he was not moved, he felt extremely warm in his heart.Such a caring and caring person should be more happy to get along with.After all, it is a companion reading, and there are still six years to spend together, so being happy is very important.

During the meal, Lord Lefu heard that the son was staying with him to study and eat, and because he was busy with the work of the Longevity Festival, he had no time to come and have a look, so he also sent someone to say "don't be restrained, get closer to the son".Lin Mingyu stood up and listened with lowered hands, thank you Wang Yefang.

Or it can be said that feelings are discussed at the dinner table.After lunch, Lin Mingyu left after seeing Tu Yan's tired face.Tu Yan personally sent it to the gate of the courtyard, and said: "...I don't have to come to study with you for these three days. I still have three days off. After the vacation is over, you come to the palace to look for me. You go to the palace to accompany me to study first. You know the way."

Lin Mingyu thanked her, and bowed again to leave.

After returning to the mansion, the masters in the Lin mansion were not there, so Lin Mingyu turned around and went into the study.Today in the palace, I think about the event of the Longevity Day. Foreign officials from all over the country will invite orders to come to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays. Such an official position as Tu Lingguang is not qualified for this.But at the same time, he is still a member of the royal family, and with the status of Changping Palace, he should get the will to enter Beijing.

Since he was transferred to Fujian to garrison last year, he was promoted to Fujian general in less than a year, and because of his effective control of the war in Liangying, he earned a lot of treasury silver for the treasury, and Tu Lingguang's reputation spread.Occasionally, when the emperor talked about the current situation, he praised that all the sons of the royal family were brave men.Although Tu Lingguang is in Fujian, there are many people in Kyoto who miss him.

Such a young general, who has left his name in the eyes of the emperor, has a limitless future, not to mention the entire Changping Palace standing behind him.

King Changping himself is extremely brave, his son is the eldest son, and he and Tu Lingguang are siblings.Originally, he was walking in the six parts of the capital, but Shizi was weak since he was a child, and he was seriously ill in the capital, and he almost failed to be saved.King Changping had a main concubine, a second concubine, and two side concubines who were beauties bestowed by the emperor, but none of them left any flesh and blood for the prince.Now the three children under her knees, the eldest son Tu Lingyun, the second son Tu Lingguang, and the youngest daughter Tu Linghua are all born of the former princess.

The Queen Mother of Changping was born in a mediocre family, but he himself has been dazzling since he was a child, and his personality is a bit withdrawn, so he is not wooed by his brothers.It would be fine if he was mediocre, but he is not afraid of getting into trouble. When he was young, he showed his sharpness, which is very daunting.Only after marrying the concubine and giving birth to a son-in-law did he restrain himself.But at this time, his existence is already a thorn in the hearts of the brothers who are determined to inherit the great treasure. King Changping disdains these struggles and asks the northwest to lead troops to guard the territory.Because the emperor valued it, the son stayed in Liubu to watch the government.

In six years and three years, Shizi's performance was neither high nor low, which can be summed up by the word "ping".The second son, Tu Lingguang, is even more mediocre than his elder brother. If all playboys love entertainment, food, and beauties.The emperor was faintly disappointed, so he turned his gaze away.

After that, Shizi suddenly fell ill, which was very dangerous.Changping Wang Xingye rushed back, knelt down and begged for his will, took his son away from Beijing, and put him by his side for recuperation. If father and son were not destined, he would also let his son close his eyes where he could see him.The emperor remembered that it was not easy for his son to become an heir, and he had made great military exploits for Da Hong, so he agreed with a soft heart, and even looked at Tu Lingguang much more pleasing to his eyes.

After the son left Beijing, Tu Lingguang took a errand in the Ministry of War, and he was busy with nothing.Until by chance, he was assigned to garrison in Fujian, and when Liangying came to pay tribute with evil intentions, he made great contributions and turned Liangying into Dahong's money basket to regain the emperor's attention until today.

Lin Mingyu had inquired about these things, and Tu Lingguang should have noticed, but he didn't hide it from him.Thinking of this man who was like a brother and a friend, Lin Mingyu couldn't help but sighed.

The more complicated the situation in Kyoto, the worse Tu Lingguang's situation became.For the benefit of maritime trade, the official circles and clans in Kyoto have already shown their talents. Tu Lingguang sitting in the coastal defense is enough to make people envious. If he returns to Kyoto and stares in front of the emperor, he will become a living thorn in the flesh. How many people will be stabbed? eyes!

Write him a letter and tell him what happened in Kyoto.

Tu Lingguang must have his own channel to learn about news from the capital, Lin Mingyu thought, I just need to do my best.

Tu Yan was on vacation, and Lin Mingyu had nothing to do, so he thought about going to the shop to have a look.The Nanyang goods store under his name has three branches in Kyoto, and supplies limited quantities of Nanyang and overseas items. Because they are unique, exquisite, and suitable for gifts, the business is very good.

Lin Da went out early and returned late these days. In order to find out the background of Taibai Building, he temporarily handed over the job of serving Lin Mingyu to his younger brother Lin Er. Because he was afraid that Lin Er would not be smart enough, he asked Mantou to serve beside him.

Lin Mingyu followed Lin Er and Mantou into the shop. There were a few customers picking out the shop, but the shopkeeper didn't see him.A clerk came to say hello, this clerk was new, and because Lin Mingyu seldom came here on weekdays, he didn't recognize the wealthy and leisurely handsome young man in front of him as his proprietor.

Lin Mingyu looked around and asked, "Is shopkeeper Zhang here?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I know our shopkeeper? Then you must be a regular customer. Just now a customer came to pick up the goods ordered a few days ago, and the shopkeeper went to pick it up himself. If you have something to do with the shopkeeper, Please come here, and I will serve you a good pot of tea while you wait; if you come to look at the good things, I am willing to serve you."

Lin Mingyu smiled, this guy is quite clever.

"I'm very familiar with your shopkeeper, so there's no need to say hello. You're busy with your work. I'll take a look."

The clerk smiled: "You can do what you want, if you need anything, just tell the villain to do it." He didn't talk too much, smiled politely and then backed away.Lin Mingyu looked at it for a while, and saw that the shop was really busy, so she didn't rush to look, and only went to the place pointed by the previous clerk.

The Duobao Pavilion here has a quiet place, surrounded by low railings on one side, and bonsais of the welcoming pine and the common tree are placed beside it. Bead curtains are hung on the wooden shelves, and wind chimes are tied to them. The breeze blowing in brought the wind chimes to sway gently, making a clear and soft sound, which was very pleasant to the ear.

Lin Mingyu was sitting comfortably, and the waiter came over with a pot of tea, and said, "The excellent Biluochun, sir, please try it." Seeing that Lin Mingyu really didn't have anything to order, he left again, with a gentle and calm expression, and he didn't seem to be in any hurry for money color.

Lin Mingyu nodded secretly, praising shopkeeper Zhang for his ability to take care of people.This branch shop was opened later, and the shopkeeper was still entrusted to Lin Mingyu by Li Shan. Now he has entered the Lin family, signed an agreement, and works for the new owner.It is a rare talent to keep accounts every month and never make any mistakes.

After drinking a cup of tea, shopkeeper Zhang hadn't seen him yet. From where Lin Mingyu was sitting, he could clearly see the scene inside the shop through the gap of Duobao Pavilion.Each branch has one or two such partitions, which are specially designed for entertaining distinguished guests. This is Lin Mingyu's own design.

In addition to himself, there were four customers in the store. On the chairs arranged on the west side, there were three young people, dressed as scholars, talking softly while shaking folding fans.A chap stood by for company.To the south is the gate, and there are shelves on both sides. At this moment, there is a person who is picking things out. One is wearing a brown brocade coat, with a fat face and a huge jewel ring on his finger. He looks like a rich man, but there is no servant around People like this, whose speech is full of the smell of copper, should be wealthy businessmen.

The one on the right is a middle-aged man, whose clothes are of extraordinary quality. He looks like a housekeeper, and when he talks about business, he reveals his identity as the master with a very proud expression.The man and the other guest had both bought their favorite presents and were heading out.

Lin Mingyu was very happy to see the deals being completed, and the sound of money clattering was all his in the end!

As soon as the two guests left, the wealthy businessman had almost finished the conversation, happily instructing the waiter to wrap the gift firmly and beautifully, then carefully took out a neatly folded silver ticket from his pocket, and handed it out reluctantly .

Lin Mingyu looked at it amusedly, and couldn't help showing a smile.

At this time, shopkeeper Zhang turned out from the rear inner room, holding a wooden box with chicken wing wood and hibiscus flowers in his hand.The three scholars, as well as the wealthy businessman who had already paid the bill and was about to leave, were all attracted.

Mantou and Lin Er's expressions were already itchy, and they wished they could join in the fun and see it quickly.Lin Mingyu saw the anxious look of the two monkeys, gave a few instructions in a low voice, and then let them go away.

There is no reason why the master does not move, and the slaves go to watch the excitement. Lin Er and Mantou looked at each other and did not dare to leave.Lin Mingyu waved his hand: "It's nothing, this is my own shop, there could be danger anywhere. Go and watch, and remember my instruction just now, don't cause trouble for shopkeeper Zhang."

After hearing this, Lin Er Mantou had nothing to say, so he went away with a smile.

Shopkeeper Zhang had already opened the wooden box, and everyone gave a sound of admiration.

"What an exquisite ship, what a wonderful structure!" A gentle voice sounded, and Lin Mingyu had already noticed this person.Just now, when everyone surrounded shopkeeper Zhang, a group of people walked in surrounded by a young man of sixteen or seventeen.This young man has a gorgeous appearance and well-dressed clothes, with a nobility that can be seen immediately between his brows, and his chin is slightly raised when he walks, revealing a sense of superiority from the bottom of his heart.

Among the four servants surrounding him were two handsome boys. Although the other two were dressed as servants, they were upright and agile, at least they were first-class guards.

Another dignitary.

Lin Mingyu determined his identity in an instant.

The boy's voice was tender and affectionate, and he said with admiration.Shopkeeper Zhang, who has seen people in the world, immediately recognized the identity of the young man, handed the things in hand to the clerk to hold them, gave a thousand children himself, and said with a smile: "I said I heard the magpie cry early in the morning. What's the matter, it should be on you. I have seen Mr. Tu, please be safe. How is your son? How is your lord?"

Mr. Tu pursed his lips proudly, and said: "Du An, it's rare that you remember it. I haven't come out for a long time. I heard that you have good things here. Master, come and have a look."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the building boat in the man's hand without blinking.

There was a smile on the corner of Zhang's mouth, but his heart was secretly tense. It seemed that this young man had spotted the boat, but the boat was ordered by a customer, so it was not easy to handle.

"It's a small person's honor to be able to catch your eye. You see, I have a lot of good things here. You go and sit in the private room, and I will bring them in person. You can pick them slowly?" Shopkeeper Zhang said enthusiastically. As he spoke, he wanted to let him go to the private room partitioned off by Duobao Pavilion.

Mr. Tu didn't move, and the little boy beside him said: "Stop the shopkeeper, our master has taken a fancy to this boat, tell us how much money you can sell it to us, our master has a lot of things to do, and we don't have time to spend here. "

"Xiao Qing, don't be rude." Mr. Tu gave a pretentious drink, finally moved his eyes away, and said to shopkeeper Zhang: "Treasurer Zhang, I see this favorite, how much money do you want, just go back to the palace and ask Chen Guanshi to exchange it." .Wrap it up for Grandpa, wrap it properly, and Grandpa will give it to someone as an envoy.”

Obviously a gorgeous young man, with "Master" on the left and "Master" on the right when speaking, that domineering arrogance like a master has already rushed to people's noses.Shopkeeper Zhang was displeased, but he knew that behind him was Zhongshun Prince's Mansion. Since Yizhong Prince's Mansion withered, among the current princes, only Zhongshun King and Changping King are the most powerful.However, King Changping has been stationed in the northwest all year round, and his power is not as powerful as that in Kyoto. On the contrary, King Zhongshun has been operating in Kyoto since he was a child.

Sitting behind the Duobao Pavilion, Lin Mingyu had already witnessed this scene.Naturally, he also guessed the identity of the boy.In the capital, the only person who was born in the royal family, had such an outstanding appearance, and was so proud at this age was Tu Shuo, the son of the loyal and obedient prince Tu Lingfeng, and the son of the heir's stepwife.

Although Tu Shuo is the son of his stepmother, he is more favored than his wife's first son, because his mother Wu's natal family has a strong background. In the previous dynasty, it was the family of the emperor and empress, and had two empresses.In the current dynasty, Wu's aunt, Concubine Wu, was also among the four concubines and was deeply favored by the emperor, but the emperor was deeply grieved when she passed away due to dystocia.Later, King Zhongshun saw that his grandson was seven points like Concubine Wu, so he brought him to the palace to offer his respects to the Holy Majesty. The Majesty really remembered his old man, loved Tu Shuo very much, and chatted to comfort his love for Concubine Wu.

Tu Shuo wanted to buy a building boat, and he forgave shopkeeper Zhang that he would not refuse, as if the building boat was already his property.Among the three scholars who had been silent all this time, one finally couldn't help it.

"Young master, we are looking for this boat first. If you like it, then we can make an order with the shopkeeper. But this one cannot be given to you. Please forgive me."

The scholar who spoke had a square face and dark skin, but his eyes were straight and his words were very polite.He is not a reckless person, and he knows that the person in front of him is of high status and cannot be offended, but this building boat is really their favorite thing, and it has been set for a long time, but it is not easy to break their promise.

Tu Shuo just looked closely at the building boat in the hands of the clerk, without answering.

Another young man beside him smiled and said: "Scholar, it is not right for you to speak like this. What do you mean by looking at it first? This thing was taken out by the shopkeeper who I saw with my own eyes. If you want to talk about seeing it first, our family I was the first one to see it, and the first one to praise it! The sword is given to the hero. Naturally, treasures should be obtained by those with discerning eyes. You should save yourself. If you really like it, you might as well order another one from the shopkeeper. People who open the door to do business will definitely not be allowed."

This boy is handsome, and he speaks eloquently, which makes him lose his temper.

The scholar's face tightened, and he couldn't help frowning.

The round-faced companion behind him couldn't hear him anymore, and said: "You little brother is so troublesome. We obviously ordered this boat first, and we paid a deposit with the shopkeeper, today we just picked up the goods according to the agreement. Even if you saw it, it is because we are generous and willing to let you appreciate the good things, how come it is yours to turn into things?"

"Exactly, honesty is the key to doing business. If it's about first come, first come first, we will be the first. Your son will be second. If it's about reputation, it's naturally us who paid the deposit. It's trustworthy to talk to the shopkeeper first. Whatever it is, it shouldn't be yours." Ah. I see that your son is also from a wealthy family, so there is absolutely no reason why you don't understand this. If you really like it, the shopkeeper can naturally sell you another one, which we absolutely cannot give up."

"Only by you?" Xiaoqing took a step forward, almost touching the man's nose with her fingers, and the three scholars all glared.

The conflict was on the verge of breaking out, shopkeeper Zhang complained in his heart, but he could only make peace on his face.

First, he made a gesture to the three scholars, then bowed his body and said to Tu Yan: "Master, it's really not that I don't want to sell it to you, you've heard it, it's actually the three scholars who made the appointment seven days ago." , I received the deposit from someone, and the note is still in the person's hand. The most important thing in business is credibility, and I dare not destroy my family for fun. If you really like it, because I don't make money, I have to run to do it for you Urge to make another one, three days, only three days, and guarantee to give you a building boat that is exactly the same or not bad. This, let these three guest officials get it, it is also your kindness. You think, Cheng No?"

Tu Shuo snorted, and stared at shopkeeper Zhang with a smile or not: "Do you think it's okay to put me behind any cat or dog?"

"You..." The round-faced scholar was already furious when he heard his contemptuous address, but was stopped by his black-faced companion.

"Master Zhang, this building boat is a gift for a foreign classmate of ours. It is of great significance, and we have already made an agreement with the classmate. It is really hard to break our promise. This building boat cannot be given away. The rest of the money is in the Here, you take it, so we can take it away."

This black-faced scholar is very organized and doesn't argue with others.
