[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

After Qin Keqing's sister and brother left, the small courtyard became quiet. Shui Rong looked at Lin Yuzhou and said, "Prince Zhongshun is in contact with the Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture. The third daughter of Xiu Guogong's mansion will become the third prince's side concubine. The Xue family will move out soon. Rongguo Mansion."

A gleam of light flashed in Lin Yuzhou's eyes, he cupped his hands towards Shui Rong and said, "Thank you, my lord, for letting me know."

The boy opened the door of the small courtyard, and at some point there appeared a young man in a black brocade coat. After the water dissolved, the young man put a white cloak on Shui Rong and took him away.

Lin Yuzhou stayed in the small courtyard for a while, and when he walked out of the wooden door of the small courtyard, he found that Lin Cong had left without knowing when, and a familiar figure leaning against the carriage was Ji Shengyan.

Ji Shengyan stretched out his hand towards Lin Yuzhou: "Come here."

Lin Yuzhou snorted lightly, and jumped to Ji Shengyan's side, "Where's Lin Cong?"

"Let him go back to the Lin Mansion." Ji Shengyan lifted the curtain of the carriage, and pulled Lin Yuzhou into the carriage.Lu Shengrong got out of nowhere and played the role of "old driver".

After getting into the carriage, Lin Yuzhou reclined on the seat in an unimpressive manner. He tapped Ji Shengyan's leg and asked him, "You see the water melted, who is the man in black next to him?"

"Mu Shengfeng, the king of Dong'an County."

"Their relationship is unusual." Lin Yuzhou moved his head to Ji Shengyan's lap, and found a comfortable position to lie down.

Ji Shengyan pinched Lin Yuzhou's ears to play, and after listening to him finish speaking, he smiled lightly and said, "It's probably the same relationship as you and me."

Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows, just as he guessed, he remembered what Shui Rong said just now, and asked, "Where is Ping'an Prefecture? Who is the Jiedushi?"

In the original book, this place name is fictitious, it only appeared once or twice, and it was not detailed, but in this world, this place must be real.

"Ping'an Prefecture is a border fortress, located between Yanmen Pass and Heping Xingguan Pass. The current governor of Ping'an Prefecture is Shen Wulin, who has a deep friendship with the Jia family."

"That's not right." Lin Yuzhou took Ji Shengyan's hand, sat up halfway and said, "Shui Rong said that Prince Zhongshun had a connection with the Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture, and you also said that the Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture had a deep relationship with the Jia family. In the world, Prince Zhongshun has a good relationship with the Jia family?"

Lin Yuzhou wondered, the plot deviates too far. In the original book, Prince Zhongshun contributed a lot to the destruction of the Jia family.

"Forget the plot of the original book." Ji Shengyan covered Lin Yuzhou's eyes with his hands, "Zhongshun has a normal relationship with Jia's family. It is Shen Wulin who has both sides. Shui Rong wants to tell us that Zhongshun has a rebellious heart."

"Huh?" Lin Yuzhou pulled Ji Shengyan's hand, very puzzled: "Isn't he wholeheartedly loyal to Emperor Jialong?"

"If he didn't pledge allegiance, I'm afraid he would have died long ago." Ji Shengyan sneered, "He contacted Shen Wulin not only because of the military power in Shen Wulin's hands, but also because of the remnants of Prince Yizhong hidden in Ping'an Prefecture. "

Lin Yuzhou sat up, pinched his chin and asked, "Then when is he going to do it?"

Ji Shengyan rubbed his fingers and replied: "I don't know his exact plan yet, someone is watching him."

Lin Yuzhou chuckled: "Make the best use of the situation, push the boat along the way, we just wait for the result."

The carriage was kicking along, and Lin Yuzhou followed Ji Shengyan back to the East Palace. He had dinner, and then spent a long time with Ji Shengyan, until the moon rose into the sky before leaving the East Palace.

After Ji Shengyan sent Lin Yuzhou away, his mood became worse. He said to Lu Shengrong: "Clean up the Nan'an Courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, and go get an invitation for the Peach Blossom Banquet."

Lu Shengrong bent down and retreated, Ji Shengyan glanced at the memorial on the table, it was his memorial to transfer Lin Yuzhou to the East Palace as an attendant, and Emperor Jialong rejected it.

Ji Shengyan threw the memorial into the wastebasket, it's time for Emperor Jialong to get busy, his enemy is not only himself.

After Lin Yuzhou met Ji Shengyan, he devoted himself to the trivial affairs of the Imperial Academy. It was not until the end of March that he had three days of menstruation, and it was time for the peach blossom feast at the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County.

The so-called small garden is sunny at the beginning of the day, and the peach blossoms are full of mountain fragrance. This kind of spring is the most suitable day for going out for an outing.Since Lin Yuzhou came to the capital, he was busy with the imperial examinations at the beginning, and finally finished the exams, and then went to the Imperial Academy to be on duty, busy with the trivial matters of the Imperial Academy. Give him a chance.

After breakfast, Jia Min took Lin Daiyu to change clothes. Lin Yuzhou sat in the hall and drank a cup of tea, and called Daiyu's three maids to him.

Lin Yuzhou raised his eyes and asked, "Do you know what I'm going to say?"

"I know!" Among Lin Daiyu's three close maids, Xueyan has the most out-of-the-ordinary personality, and she spoke first: "Sister Liu Xu told me that for today's peach blossom feast, you must follow the girl closely, and you must watch all directions and listen to all directions."

Seeing that Xueyan had finished speaking, Zijuan added: "Never take a step away from the girl. Anyone who approaches the girl must stand in front of her."

Lin Yuzhou nodded and looked at Liu Xu.

Liu Xu pursed her lips and smiled: "Anyone who dares to attack a girl will be killed without mercy." Her words startled Zijuan and Xueyan, but Lin Yuzhou laughed with satisfaction.

Jia Min and Lin Daiyu moved very quickly, Lin Yuzhou only asked the three maids a few words, and they came out.

At this moment, the sun came out, and the dew on the grass and trees had dispersed. Lin Chang drove the carriage and waited at the side door of the Lin residence. Lin Cong led two horses and stood beside the carriage.

Lin Yuzhou sent Jia Min and Lin Daiyu to the carriage. He took the reins from Lin Cong, turned over and sat on the black horse.

There is a distance between Lin Mansion and Nan'an Bieyuan on the outskirts of the city. Lin Yuzhou and the others walked slowly all the way to the gate of the city, just in time to meet Song Ming and Fu Jue, who were also followed by a carriage.

The two convoys mixed together, Song Ming and Fu Jue rode to both sides of Lin Yuzhou.Song Ming said: "My father threw me in the capital, he registered me in the Imperial College, and I will go to school in a few days."

Lin Yuzhou understood that according to Song Xiaoting's official position, Song Ming was already qualified to study in the Imperial College, and since turmoil was about to hit the south of the Yangtze River, Song Xiaoting would definitely not let Song Ming go back.

"Where's Jin Yun?" Lin Yuzhou looked sideways at Fu Jue and asked, "Should you have passed the imperial examination?"

Fu Jue was silent, with a gloomy aura exuding from his body.

Seeing this, Song Ming answered in a low voice for him: "Cousin wants to find a job and be sent out. You know the rule that non-Hanlin people are not allowed to join the cabinet. How could uncles and the others agree? Third aunt is also crying at home."

Lin Yuzhou turned around and patted Fu Jue on the shoulder as a comfort.

Fu Jue ranked No. [-] in the Palace Examination. With such a ranking, the Fu family would not let him leave Beijing. If Lin Yuzhou had such a result in the exam, Lin Ruhai would not agree to let him be an official.

"It's good to enter the Imperial Academy." Lin Yuzhou pulled the reins, and said to Fu Jue: "The Imperial Academy has a very rich collection of books. If you want to be a local official, you must master the information from all over the place."

Fu Jue looked up, Lin Yuzhou had something in his words, he understood.

"Hey, have you smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms?" Song Ming waved his horsewhip and pointed ahead: "Is that Taoshan?"

Lin Yuzhou also smelled the strong fragrance of peach blossoms. Looking far away, he saw the magnificent scenery of Peach Mountain in the distance.

After walking in the direction of Taoshan for another half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.

Nan'an County Prince's Mansion specially sent an old lady to lead the female guests in. After Lin Yuzhou separated from Jia Mu and the others, he and his two friends walked into this famous Nan'an Garden with the outer housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion.

The Bieyuan is built by the mountains and the water. Entering from the east gate, it is the main building of the Bieyuan. It is a five-entry house, and you can go around the house along the flower corridor to the back garden of the Bieyuan.

There is a small lake in the back garden, named Wangting Lake, across the lake is the entrance of Taoshan.Guests can choose to take a boat to Taoshan, where they can have a panoramic view of the lake and mountains, or they can choose to walk around the lake and walk along the narrow path by the lake to the entrance of Taoshan.

The layout of Taoshan was borrowed from the east garden of Wenchang Temple in Langshan. They divided Taoshan into north and south parts with a tall carved stone corridor, and entertained male and female guests respectively.

Lin Yuzhou, Song Ming and the others chose to walk around the lake, and the three of them took the male guest path in the north, where they could directly enter Beitao Mountain: the place where male guests are entertained at the Peach Blossom Banquet.

"Ah Choo." Lin Yuzhou and Fu Jue enjoyed the scenery while walking, Song Ming's sneezing interrupted their interest, he rubbed his nose and said, "The scenery is nice, but the smell is too strong, it hurts the nose after smelling it for a long time. "

It was only then that Lin Yuzhou remembered that Song Ming had a keen sense of smell, and that the strong fragrance of flowers would irritate him. He stretched out his hand and pressed it near Song Ming's neck, temporarily blocking his sense of smell.

Song Ming exhaled, he almost suffocated just now.

"Yuzhou, you have won the first prize. Did Uncle Lin find a marriage for you?" After the nose was saved, Song Ming talked a lot. He picked a peach blossom and stuck it behind his ear, jokingly said: "My family won't talk about it." Yes, my uncle's family has several younger sisters..."

Fu Jue knew the relationship between Lin Yuzhou and Ji Shengyan, and when he heard what Song Ming said, he interrupted in a cold voice: "Shut up."

Song Ming twitched the corner of his mouth, walked around Fu Jue to the other side of Lin Yuzhou, hooked his head and said, "You don't want a marriage, so don't drag Yuzhou into the water, cousins ​​are very good."

The name Fu Yao flashed through Lin Yuzhou's mind, and he became suspicious of Song Ming's words.

Fu Jue's gaze was like a sword, and Song Ming stabbed his head down. Lin Yuzhou smiled, and was about to speak when his ears moved, pulling Song Ming and Fu Jue into the back of the Taihu Stone by the trail.

"Miss San, this is the path for male guests. If the princess of the county finds out about your walk here, she will be angry."

"If she knows, you must be the one who said it. If I'm punished, you won't be able to run away."

"Girl, this servant will definitely not say it, but Bieyuan is full of princess eyeliners, it is still very dangerous for you to be here, you better go, if someone comes, it will be really bad."

"The gatekeeper said that the person who walked this way just now was the champion of the new department?"

"Never mind who it is, girl, let's go."

"Several princes will participate in this peach blossom banquet. Eldest sister is already a concubine. I can't be worse than her. I must sneak into Beitao Mountain. If you are afraid, just go."

"Girl, girl..."

The voices of the two became farther and farther away. Fu Jue and Song Ming looked at each other, and Song Ming laughed dryly: "This banquet is wonderful."

Lin Yuzhou leaned against the stone of Taihu Lake with his arms folded, his expression was a bit complicated, peach blossom feast, peach blossom feast, I don't know whose family this rotten peach blossom will fall into, as long as it's not his family.
