[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Lin Yuzhou's plan went well, and Ji Shengyan managed to convince Emperor Jialong, but it was easy to understand that Emperor Jialong didn't want the Lin family to get too close to Ji Shengyan, so Lin Yuzhou would definitely support Lin Yuzhou's departure from Beijing.

Song Ming was preparing for the next imperial examination in the Imperial College, and he couldn't leave. Fu Jue got his wish and joined Lin Yuzhou's southward team. Besides him, Lin Yuzhou's list also included Liu Ju, Li Suqing, and Wang Luan, three colleagues from the Imperial Academy. , Tang Chengzu, the son of Tang Ziquan, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, was also included in the list, and there were still three positions left, which were left to Ji Shengyan to arrange people.

Lin Yuzhou folded the list and put it away when Lin Cong's heavy footsteps came from his ears.

He sighed, it's been so long, Lin Cong hasn't lost weight yet, he thinks he must take the little book boy with him this time, and he will lose weight after suffering, otherwise Xiaohua will really abandon the little book boy.

"Brother, the fourth prince is here, and the master wants you to go to the study."

Lin Yuzhou was taken aback by Lin Cong's words, Lin Ruhai is taking a rest today, what is the purpose of Ji Zhao's coming to the Lin Mansion?Visiting Lin Ruhai for salt transportation in the south of the Yangtze River?

Lin Yuzhou didn't bother to think too much, he could always know Ji Zhao's purpose when they met, so he walked out of the room.

Lin Yuzhou's courtyard was quite far from Lin Ruhai's big study. He walked along the wooden corridor for a while, and heard a pleasant sound of the piano when he walked around the rockery.

"Little Cong, is the girl playing the guqin?" Lin Yuzhou stopped and asked Lin Cong.

Lin Cong puffed up his face, his plump cheeks made his eyes smaller, "I heard from Sister Liu Xu that the girl got an ancient music score a few days ago, and the weather is fine today. She was in the pavilion in the back garden early in the morning. Played it. Brother, is there any problem?"

Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows. He's busy these days and hasn't bothered much about family matters. Ancient music score?Who gave it?

Lin Daiyu is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she doesn't really play the piano very often. It's too coincidental that she just happened to play ancient music when Ji Zhao came here.

Although he thought a lot, Lin Yuzhou didn't express his doubts. He walked forward and said, "No problem, it sounds good."

"That is, unique, the lingering sound lingers!"

These words were truly exaggerated, Lin Yuzhou praised Lin Cong, and they walked for a while before arriving at the door of Lin Ruhai's study.

Standing outside the study, Lin Yuzhou frowned when he heard Lin Ruhai's hearty laughter from inside. It seemed that the two had a good conversation.

Lin Ruhai noticed the situation outside the study, and he called out, "Yuzhou is here, come in."

Lin Yuzhou pushed open the door of the study and found that there was an extra painting in the study. Lin Ruhai stood in front of the painting, and Ji Zhao stood behind him.

"Fourth Prince." Lin Yuzhou raised his hand and saluted Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao took a step back, stretched out his hand and said, "Lin Xiuzhuan is being polite."

Lin Yuzhou smiled, looked at Lin Ruhai and asked, "Is father in a good mood?"

Lin Ruhai coughed, stroked his beard, pointed to the painting in front of him and said, "Come and have a look, what can you see?"

"This is the "Zhongxing Ruiying Picture", drawn by the Southern Dynasty painter Xiao Zhao. It describes the story of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Dynasty who escaped from the enemy and fled to the south to establish the country."

"That's it?" Lin Ruhai turned around and stared at Lin Yuzhou.

what else?Lin Yuzhou twitched the corners of his mouth. This painting was of no value to him. It was obviously the helpless move of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Dynasty who was unable to defeat the enemy and was forced to flee south, but it was painted as an act of "Zhongxing" in accordance with the destiny. Isn't it bullshit?

Lin Ruhai hates it, her son is good at everything, but he has no talent at all on the way of "painting".

Ji Zhao took a step forward and said, "This picture is not "Zhongxing Ruiying Picture", but "Xiao Zhao Zhongxing Ruiying Picture" copied by the former painting god Qiu Ying."

I don't know if it's an illusion, Lin Yuzhou heard a smile from Ji Zhao's tone, he glanced at Ji Zhao, showing a clear expression: Qiu Ying became a generation of master painters by copying, and the value of his copying is very high. high.

Seeing Lin Yuzhou's seemingly clear but not clear expression, Lin Ruhai held his breath. He carefully put away the painting, not bothering to talk to Lin Yuzhou again.

Ji Zhao collected his expression, and asked Lin Yuzhou: "Lin Xiuzhuan, I heard that you are going to Minzhou in the middle of the month?"

Lin Yuzhou nodded and answered yes.

Ji Zhaodao: "Brother Dahuang and I will go to Jiangnan in the middle of the month, and Lin Xiuzhuan can go with us."

The fastest way from the capital to Minzhou is to take a boat to Hangzhou through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, then transfer to Guangxin Prefecture by land, and then turn to Minzhou by water via Xianxialing. road.

Lin Yuzhou's thoughts flashed, he cupped his hands and said, "How dare you refuse the invitation from the Fourth Prince?"

Ji Zhao nodded, as if he didn't hear the deep meaning in Lin Yuzhou's tone, he said to Lin Ruhai: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for the reminder. After the Jiangnan incident, I will definitely come to thank you."

"Fourth prince, you are being polite. This is not due to me. Although I have the volume in hand, I still need to find something to prove that the volume is true. This trip to the south is very dangerous. Please take care of the fourth prince."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, I will pay attention."

After Lin Yuzhou came to the study, Ji Zhao didn't stay long, he refused the lunch, and left Lin's mansion with his little eunuch.

After sending Ji Zhao away, Lin Yuzhou and Lin Ruhai returned to the study room. They looked at each other silently. After a while, Lin Ruhai said, "You know?"

Lin Yuzhou's face turned dark: "What do I know?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid." Lin Ruhai also had a grimace, "Your Majesty's intention is obvious, he wants Yu'er to become the fourth concubine."

"Father agreed?" Lin Yuzhou frowned.

After Lin Ruhai sat down at the table, he glanced at Lin Yuzhou: "I didn't refuse."

Lin Yuzhou was silent, did not refuse but did not expressly agree, he could still accept this situation.

"The marriage between you and Yu'er has attracted much attention. I can't control you, but Yu'er's marriage must not be sloppy." Lin Ruhai picked up the cold tea on the table and prepared to serve it to his mouth, but was stopped by Lin Yuzhou. He put down the teacup, Then he said: "The fourth prince has a good character. Concubine Ning and your mother are close friends in the boudoir. It is also suitable for Yu'er to marry him."

Lin Yuzhou brewed a cup of hot tea for Lin Ruhai, and brought it to him: "We don't care whether it's suitable or not, we have to agree with Daiyu herself."

"The family will not force her. Even if Your Majesty refers to the marriage, as long as Yu'er disagrees, I will never compromise, but you should not reject the fourth prince too much. He came today, in addition to taking away my salt luck file, he is also Those who want to be close to our family."

You all know that you can do what you like, but don't you want to get close?Lin Yuzhou complained secretly, he didn't reject men who approached Lin Daiyu, but hoped that Lin Daiyu could find someone who would treat her sincerely.He is someone who has experienced it, and he knows how precious a sincere love is.

"It's not urgent for now. During the journey with the fourth prince, you should observe his behavior and be aware of it." Lin Ruhai took a sip from the teacup, moistened his throat, and said: "This time After going to Minzhou and transferring to the northwest frontier, it’s hard to say when to return, you haven’t mentioned this to your mother yet, have you?”

Lin Yuzhou said dumbly, he really didn't dare to tell the three most senior female family members about this matter, their tears were his biggest nemesis.

Thinking of the consequences, Lin Yuzhou saluted Lin Ruhai: "Father!"

Lin Ruhai waved his hand: "No, you can handle your own affairs by yourself." His son walked around the world freely, leaving the old father alone to suffer from the family's nagging, he was not happy at all, let alone help.

Lin Yuzhou saluted again: "Father!"

Lin Ruhai bowed his head and sipped his tea without looking at him at all.

"Father!"

"Get lost!" Lin Ruhai vomited obscenities.

Lin Yuzhou led Lin Cong to the backyard. Lin Cong laughed all the way, and Lin Yuzhou wanted to beat someone up.

As soon as he passed through the courtyard, Lin Yuzhou saw Lin Daiyu waiting in the pavilion.

Today is a good day, Lin Daiyu took off her thick cloak, wearing a goose yellow skirt, wearing a peach heart bun, with a green jade hairpin inserted on the right side, less the feeling of supporting the wind and weak willows, more A little bright bright color.

"Brother." Lin Daiyu walked up to Lin Yuzhou and asked, "Who came just now?"

Lin Yuzhou once again lamented Lin Daiyu's sensitivity, and he asked, "Why do you say that?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and replied: "A few days ago, my mother gave me a roll of ancient music, saying that it was a gift from her old friend. Today, my mother asked me to play it. There was a difference in expression when she spoke, so I made a random guess."

"Heh!" Lin Yuzhou pulled Lin Daiyu to sit at the stone table, and he said with a smile, "As expected of my sister, she's smart! That's all, I should tell you about it."

After Lin Yuzhou finished speaking, Lin Daiyu was silent. She squeezed her handkerchief, thinking of the man she bitten in the East Garden of Wenchang Temple. At that time, she glanced at him briefly, but she didn't remember his appearance at all.

Lin Yuzhou said seriously: "Yu'er, you have my brother here, don't think too much, I'm going to be worried."

Lin Daiyu smiled lightly: "If I never marry in this life, will my brother also be willing?"

Lin Yuzhou smiled and replied: "Why not? Just don't marry if you don't want to marry. My brother will take care of you for the rest of your life."

Lin Daiyu wrinkled her nose: "I'm afraid my sister-in-law will dislike me then."

"He dare not."

After saying this, Lin Daiyu immediately asked: "So, I also have a sister-in-law? Who is it?"

Lin Yuzhou knocked on Lin Daiyu: "You little clever ghost!"

"Hehehe..." Lin Daiyu's laughter resounded in the corridor. After a while, she put away her smile and said seriously: "Brother, I don't want to marry casually. If possible, I want to meet him."

"Of course, but the Fourth Prince is going to Jiangnan in the middle of the month. I will talk about it when he comes back. I have to investigate to see if he is qualified to meet with you."

"Thank you brother." Lin Daiyu understood how shocking her request was, but Lin Yuzhou agreed without any hesitation, which made her heart feel warm and sweet as if soaked in honey water.

Lin Yuzhou looked at Lin Daiyu, he thought for a while, finally gritted his teeth, and told Lin Daiyu about his upcoming journey.

After a while, all the women in Lin's mansion gathered in the pavilion. The three women were crying at the same time, and Lin Yuzhou's head suddenly became dizzy.
