[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Lin Ze had already planned to go home this year, because he thought that Lin Ruhai would soon go to Beijing to report on his work, and the three siblings lived here, but instead, Jia's mother was holding her back, making it difficult for Lin Ruhai to do so.Although Lin Ze didn't quite understand that Lin Ruhai was in charge of the salt class, he became more vigilant after listening to Shui Zhan talking about the importance of this position a few times.

The imperial court usually sent one person to inspect the salt censor in Lianghuai, Liangzhe, Changlu, Hedong and other places.

When the old sage was in power, he sent inspectors in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places to inspect salt censors.It was only in the three or four years after he ascended the throne today that the salt distribution in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Changlu, Hedong, and Liangzhe was stopped one after another.

The supervisory censor originally had the responsibility of investigating and correcting officials and officials, and the emperor's ears and eyes. With the task of inspecting the salt administration and correcting illegal activities.

Salt is an important material related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it has been run by the government in all dynasties.Judging from today's attitude, the salt difference between Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Changlu, Hedong, and Zhejiang has been withdrawn, but the salt inspectors of Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers have been left behind, among which there are many articles.

Lin Ze doesn't know much about other things, but Lin Ruhai's cautiousness in doing things and Shui Zhan's respect for Lin Ruhai when he talked about this matter can explain too many problems!Lin Ze is not stupid, why did he ascend the throne and become emperor today? Is it because he has the most noble status and his birth mother is the most favored?No, it's not!It is precisely because of Jinshang's pure nature that the old sage was chosen as the heir.

But can the old fox give birth to a little white rabbit?That is obviously impossible.

Although he is a pure and kind person today, that is the character he showed when he was the prince.Now that he has ascended the throne, how could it be the same as before.Although he obeyed the old sage's orders in the first one or two years of his enthronement and kept quiet in every way, he also used the old sage's hand to eliminate a large number of dissident party members!When he was firmly seated, the drastic reforms angered the old saint for a long time.

Lin Ruhai is Jane's character in the emperor's heart, and the Jiangnan salt class has always been uneven, and those aristocratic families who rely on their waists have always liked to make waves.If Lin Ruhai goes to Beijing to report on his duties in a few days, with the virtues of the Jia family, let alone let them go, it would be good if they were not detained at home!

Lin Ze pondered over how to leave Jia's house for several days. When he saw Zijuan and the little maids in Jia's house, his eyes made Zijuan feel his neck getting cold.Lin Ze vaguely had a plan in mind, but before his plan matured, Jia Baoyu came to make things difficult for him.

Because the flowers and trees in the central garden of Ningfu are flourishing in the east, Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, is a winemaker, and invites Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, etc. to enjoy the flowers.That day, I first brought Jia Rong's wife, and they came to invite me.

But there was an incident in the middle, and Baoyu was among them, thinking that Lin Ze didn't go out very often, so he let him go with him because he was afraid that he would feel bored.Lin Ze didn't want to go. He had no interest in Ningguo Mansion, which was even more absurd than Rongguo Mansion.

Baoyu didn't obey, but begged again and again, and reported to Jia's mother.Jia's mother loves to liven up the most. Although Lin Ze is not Jia Min's biological child, she treats her like the other children.After all, the mandarin ducks were asked to come and invite him once, but Lin Ze couldn't say goodbye, so he had to go.

Mother Jia came over after breakfast, and wandered around Huifang Garden, drinking tea first and then wine, but they were all small gatherings of the family banquets of the women's families of the Ningrong Second Mansion, and there were no other new and interesting things to remember.Baoyu and Lin Ze sat together at the table for a short time, when they heard Baoyu cry about being sleepy.Baoyu is the only person Jia Mu loves most, and she immediately asks someone to send him to rest.Seeing Lin Ze sitting next to him, he also smiled and said: "We listen to opera and sing music here, we know that you children are the most impatient, so we don't bother you. Just go and take a nap and come back."

Jia Rong's wife, Qin Shi, hurriedly laughed and said, "We have a house here for Uncle Bao. Don't worry, the ancestors, just leave it to me." Come with me, please."

Jia Mu knew that the Qin family was a very proper person. She was graceful and delicate in life, gentle and peaceful in behavior.

At that moment, Mrs. Qin led a group of people to the inner room of the upper room.Baoyu looked up and saw a painting pasted on it. The characters in the painting were solid, and the story was "The Picture of Burning Quinoa", and he didn't care who painted it, so he felt a little unhappy.There is another couplet, which reads: insight into world affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing.

And after reading these two sentences, even though the room is exquisite and the furnishings are gorgeous, Baoyu is absolutely unwilling to be here, and hurriedly said: "Get out! Get out!" Qin laughed and said: "It's not good here, but go Where are you going? Otherwise, go to my room." Baoyu nodded and smiled.

Then a nanny said, "Where is the reason why an uncle sleeps in his nephew's room?"

Qin said with a smile: "Hey, don't be afraid that he will be annoyed. No matter how old he is, he should be taboo! Last month you didn't see my brother coming. I'm afraid it's even higher."

Baoyu said, "Why haven't I seen it? You bring him here and let me have a look."

Everyone laughed and said, "Twenty or thirty miles away, take it there, and see you someday."

Speaking of which, everyone was about to come to Qin's room, but Lin Ze laughed and said, "Don't bother, I'll just rest here." Then he looked at Baoyu.

Baoyu looked at Lin Ze in a daze, and Qin Shi was also in a daze, but then smiled again: "That's fine, Uncle Lin can just rest here." Saying this, she wanted to leave two of the nanny who came with her, and Ask your own maid to guard in the corridor.As soon as the answer was proper, he took Baoyu and continued to his room.

It was the first time for Lin Ze to be called "uncle" at such a young age, and he felt uncomfortable, so he touched his nose.Qingmei laughed and said: "Master, let's go in quickly, don't you want to take a nap here?"

Lin Ze laughed too, so he let them come up to serve and fall asleep, having a sweet and dreamless sleep.

When I woke up again, it was time for dinner.Lin Ze tidied up his clothes, and waited for Jia Baoyu to come over at the door, but it took a while for Jia Baoyu to come, accompanied by Xiren and other maids, with a dazed look, and he didn't know where he was distracted.Lin Ze was a little puzzled, but he was not interested in asking him.The two of them had nothing to say all the way. When they went to Jiamu's place, they saw Jiamu and others talking and laughing at Yanyan, so they had dinner together and went back to Rongfu separately.

Lin Ze had just returned when he heard Daiyu send someone to ask, "Where did the lord go this day? The academy sent people to ask two or three times."

Lin Ze just remembered that he still has an appointment with Wen Xibai today!Hey, it's all this memory!Immediately, she asked Qingmei to go to Daiyu's place to answer, and then she went to bed after freshening up.Waiting for Qingmei to come back, he replied, "Miss has already fallen asleep, let's wait until tomorrow." Hearing what she said, Lin Ze didn't want to disturb her, so he went to bed too.

At dawn the next day, Baoyu came to look for him again.Lin Ze thought to himself: When did he and this stupid stone get so close, and he didn't give him any good looks, why did he come to him so often these days?

When Lin Ze saw Jia Baoyu, he suddenly felt that he might have thought something wrong.

Jia Baoyu's face turned red, and he actually showed a bit of shame.Lin Ze was secretly startled, what's going on? !But before he could speak, Jia Baoyu had already spoken first.

"Brother Lin, weren't we at... um..."

Wait, what is the tone of this ending sound? !Lin Ze felt that it was an irrational choice for him to talk with Jia Baoyu, and he should leave immediately!

"Brother Lin, yesterday I slept in Rong's daughter-in-law's room overnight and dreamed of something else." Pulling his fingers, Jia Baoyu's face became even more blush.Seeing that Lin Ze's heart trembled three times, it's not over yet!Jia Baoyu pursed his lips again and lowered his head, "Cousin Lin, have you ever dreamed of a fairy girl?"

Fairy, fairy girl? !

Lin Ze's hand holding the teacup trembled, and almost didn't shake the tea out of the cup.Jia Baoyu's words are really scary, what about the fairy girl, Lin Ze still knows a thing or two about the most powerful golden finger police fairy girl in "Dream of Red Mansions".He also thought that as soon as the Fairy Jing Huan came out, she seemed to have taught Jia Baoyu to do something bad... Could it be?

Lin Ze looked at Jia Baoyu's flushed cheeks, and saw that he had only brought two maids who were not often with him today, and guessed something in his heart.Hey, Jia Baoyu, you are only nine years old now, nine years old, do you know that?Thinking that Xiren was only 11 years old, Lin Ze said that something called "lower limit" in his heart seemed to be refreshed by this world.

"I've always slept soundly and didn't disturb my dreams. I never had the chance to dream of fairies. I think it's everyone's fate. The second cousin asked this. Could it be that the second cousin dreamed about it?"

One sentence made Baoyu's face flushed and speechless.

Lin Ze understood...understood.

"Second cousin, cough, let's talk about it another day. I'm not feeling well today." He pretended to cough a few times, and sure enough Jia Baoyu was fooled. Teaching matters were also put aside.

It wasn't until Lin Ze repeatedly said that it was just a minor illness and nothing serious, that Jia Baoyu seemed to be relieved, and said a few more words along with him.Unknowingly, he brought the conversation back to the scene encountered in the alarm fantasy fairyland.Lin Ze was still thinking about how to stop this topic, but after hearing Jia Baoyu's words, he put his worries aside.

The reason is nothing else, just because Jia Baoyu didn't talk about the things taught by Jing Huan, but only told Lin Ze what he had a vague impression of in the fairyland.

"The tea is very fragrant and very mellow. I only heard from the fairy girl that the tea was produced in the Xiangchun Cave in Fangchun Mountain, and it was cooked with the dew on the leaves of the fairy flower. The name of this tea is 'A Thousand Red Caves. '. Another glass of wine is fragrant and sweet, which is unusual. After asking, I know that the wine is made from the pistils of hundreds of flowers, the juice of ten thousand trees, the fermented grains of lin marrow, and the song of phoenix milk. It is called "Wan Yan Tong cup'."

As he spoke, he smiled and said, "The tea and wine taste very pure and beautiful. It couldn't be more elegant after such a name. It's a pity that I tasted it alone. It would be nice if I had a bite with Cousin Lin. "

Lin Ze didn't even have the strength to roll his eyes when he heard this. What kind of good names are "Qianhong Yicry" and "Wanyan Tongbei"?Let's go together, in his opinion, that fairy girl is a mortal god stick together with the monk with a scarlet head.It is said that the Tian family is ruthless, so the so-called fairy aunts are also ruthless people!

Baoyu chattered a few more words, and stopped talking when he saw Lin Ze's expression was wan.He just smiled and said, "Cousin Lin is not feeling well, so I won't sit any longer. I'll come back when Cousin Lin gets better."

If it wasn't inappropriate, Lin Ze really wanted to say honestly: Don't, then I will never go on well, so don't come!

But seeing Baoyu going out with a smile, Lin Ze wondered if he was being too harsh on such a nine-year-old child.After thinking about it, he still put these aside and sent him out with a smile.

"Greetings to the uncle, and greetings to the second master Bao."

Lin Ze saw Zijuan coming to greet him with a smile, so he also smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

Zijuan laughed and said, "The girl went to the old lady's place, and I'm going to the oriole's to show her the needlework." Then he looked at Baoyu.

Seeing Zijuan looking at him, Baoyu hurriedly smiled and said to Lin Ze: "Brother Lin, you can send it here, just let Zijuan take me out. You are not in good health, you should have a rest."

Lin Ze only smiled when he heard this.He told Zijuan to send Baoyu out, and then went back to the house.

Seeing that Lin Ze had returned to the house, Baoyu grabbed Zijuan's hand and asked, "My good sister, didn't you say you wanted to show me Sister Lin's poems last time? How long has it been? I haven't seen it yet. Good sister!"

Zijuan was pulled by his hand, and her face was flushed. Seeing that there were only a few rough envoys around, she still said angrily: "What kind of talk is this, but let others see it and say something!" Then, he pushed Baoyu's hand away.

Baoyu was even more reluctant, and a monkey like twisted hips was on Zijuan's body. Zijuan was so troubled by him that the cloud bun was a little loose.Fortunately, they walked and talked, and now they have left Rikain, behind the rockery around the corner.Seeing no one around, Zijuan persuaded softly: "If you are so naughty again, I won't give you anything."

When Baoyu heard this, he quickly withdrew his hand, which made Zicuckoo smile instead.She then said: "Nowadays girls don't like to read poetry very much, and they don't even practice handwriting very often. You asked me to find that poetry paper, but it's hard for me." But there is a lot of truth in this statement.Daiyu is more diligent in reading now, and even practicing calligraphy is allocated an hour a day.It's just that Zijuan's identity is restricted, how can she come to serve her, and naturally she can't get Daiyu's handwriting.But he didn't want to lose his position in front of Baoyu, so he had to use this to coax him.

Baoyu said: "It doesn't matter what, even if it's Sister Lin's scattered things." Then, he went to hold Zijuan's hand again, and said, "Good sister, you don't know, Sister Lin I only sit in front of the old lady for a while every day, and spend the rest of the time in my own room. I will never find a chance to talk to her again. Good sister, I just ask you to bring something from sister Lin to make me a It's good to think about it."

Hearing what he said, Zijuan held his hand again, her face blushing for a long time.He just laughed and said, "Don't talk about the relationship between your sisters, even the uncle and the girl rarely have such intimacy." As he said, he still couldn't bear Baoyu's disappointment, so he laughed and said, "I'll give you anything if I just look at it." That’s it, you’re not allowed to pick and choose, otherwise I won’t follow.”

Having said that, Baoyu smiled happily, and then lay on Zijuan's shoulder, sniffing the fragrance on her cloud temples.Because he had experienced what Fairy Jing Huan taught, and he was at the age of curiosity, he took Xi Ren to study together in the evening, and it was really interesting.But when he woke up this morning, Xiren was lying on the bed and sleepy because of his backache, and because he couldn't tell others about such embarrassing things, he had to talk to Lin Ze, who was about the same age as him.

Now she is leaning against Zijuan, the summer heat is hot, the clothes are thin, Zijuan is as slim as Qingwen, and her face is very gentle and amiable.Baoyu laughed and laughed at her before, and there was already something strange, so he leaned on her shoulder and smiled, "My dear sister, what kind of hair oil do you use, it smells so good."

Baoyu's breath was close at hand, and Zijuan's face was hot again. Although she was not very old, she had heard a little about the affair between men and women.But she always felt that Baoyu was young and didn't know what to do, so she wouldn't think about it.It's just that it's inappropriate for the two of them to fit so close together.

Zijuan pushed Baoyu with a smile, and said with a smile: "There is no good thing, it's just the camellia oil left over from last year, but you are laughing at us when you say it."

Baoyu just smiled and pasted it, and seeing the blush on Zijuan's lips, he became even more greedy, and said: "My dear sister, give me a bite of the rouge on my lips. My dear sister, just one bite."

After hearing this, Zicuckoo laughed.Pushing Baoyu with his hand, he stood half a step away and said with a smile, "Why don't you change your habit of being popular? They are spoiled by you, and I won't follow you." Baoyu turned around and ran away.

Baoyu saw that her temples were loose, her cheeks were flushed, and the color on her lips was charming.Just when the eyes and bones were soft, when Zijuan mentioned attacking people, he was startled.He didn't care about Zicuckoo running away, and hurried to his room.

Lin Ze had something on his mind here. He really couldn't eat, and couldn't sleep soundly. Within a day or two, a blue color appeared under his eyes.Qingmei asked all of them, but Lin Ze only reasoned that it was because of the headache from reading today, but he didn't dare to say anything else.

He didn't dare to say that Jia Baoyu was a knowledgeable person now, and he was messing with the maids around him.If you say this, not to mention the three girls from the Jia family will lose face first, even the girls from relatives who live here will also lose their status.

He is worried about this matter here, and the Zijuan doesn't stop, just looking at the fantasy every day, trying to move forward.Lin Ze couldn't figure it out, how did the maids of Jia's family get trained?It is true that one is more like a young lady than the other.The appearance and appearance are all outstanding, but this character is really not flattering.

Look at that Xiren, who is only 11 years old, just like a Baoyu... let's not talk about it, and look at Qingwen, I don't know how to pinch the tip every day, I'm afraid of my arrogance Can't reach the master's ears.Sister Feng is now taking care of her illness and neglecting her family, and because Mrs. Wang is admiring her every day, Baochai naturally takes the lead in everything. Even though she is still using the name of Tanchun, that pretense is better than nothing now.

All these girls went to Jiamu's place all day long, and Jia Baoyu lived in Bisha's kitchen all the time, and they came and went, didn't they see each other every day?

Lin Ze is so anxious, he can't wait to fly out with two wings on his back.No way!Don't say he has no wings, even if he has wings, the Jia family can't just watch the hostages fly away.Lin Ze couldn't say this to anyone, but he was afraid that Daiyu would be in contact with Jia Baoyu every day at Jiamu's place, so he tactfully explained to Qingxing and the others.They were also confused, but they did it anyway.

But even so, Lin Ze is still worried.So before the third day, I went to Shui Zhan to discuss it.

It was the same house as last time, with the door plaque of "Shen's house" still hanging on it.Lin Ze was unimpeded all the way. Seeing that Chang An parked the carriage at the old place with ease, Lin Ze patted Chang An on the shoulder with a smile, the boy is very smart, I didn't take you in vain!

But this look of approval made Chang'an feel too much pressure.The poor little master still doesn't know that he is the undercover agent sent by the master. The look in his eyes, he trusts him so much, he is going to blush!

Lin Ze went in and took a look, but he didn't see Shui Zhan. After thinking about it, he felt that he could rest for a while.

Looking back, Chang An saw that Lin Ze had already fallen asleep on the bamboo chair, and he didn't forget to put a thin blanket on himself.Chang An nodded, the little master is still very good at taking care of himself.Look around, no one is walking around, so he should feed the horse some grass first.

Just like this, as soon as the two sides walked away, an unexpected visitor came to Shen's house.

What is an uninvited guest, that is, an uninvited and passionate guest.No one thought of asking him to come, so he just came.You said you slept soundly, and when you feel comfortable and don’t want to get up, are you afraid that a shadow falls on your head?Lin Ze felt that he was now wandering between the life choice of opening his eyes or continuing to sleep.After hesitating for a long time, Lin Ze opened his eyes silently.

"Hey—who are you!"

The young man in front of him is about the same age as Shui Zhan, maybe a year or two younger than Shui Zhan.But looking at the frivolous smile on the corner of his mouth, coupled with that gentle smile with friendly facial features... Lin Ze had to say that the guy in front of him still has the ability to be a beast with a human face and a heart.

Before Lin Ze was lost in thought, the man started a concise self-introduction.

"My surname is Shui... No, it's not. My surname is Shen, and my single name is Rong." The young man who claimed to be "Shen Rong" stretched out his hand with a smile, touched Lin Ze's head, and then said with a smile: "I heard Shen San mention you, your name is Lin Ze, right?"

Lin Ze didn't speak, but "Shen Rong" obviously wouldn't just be willing to remain silent, and smiled and said, "Shen San must not know why you are here today?" Seeing Lin Ze ignoring him, he smiled again. He said: "Hey, he must not know, if he knew you were coming, he would not be a guest at Master Yang's house today."

"Do you know how I know about you?"

"Shen San doesn't have any good friends. With his personality, who else can listen to him except me who can talk to him."

"Oh, you don't even know. When Shen San mentioned you, it opened up the chatterbox. I'm afraid I can't finish talking about it for a day and a night. You have to praise me well. I'm for you, listen He tormented my ears for nearly a month."

"Lin Ze, Lin Ze, why don't you speak?"

"Hey, let me tell you. I am Shen San's cousin. Although I am two years younger than him, I must be older than you. I heard that you are seven years younger than Shen San, right? Oh, what a coincidence, I Five years older than you."

Lin Ze listened to "Shen Rong" rambling on for a long time, then gave him a cool look, and hummed, "Does the King of Beijing like to lie so much?"

"Ah?" The "Shen Rong" who was exposed all of a sudden... Oh no, it was Shui Rong, and he didn't show any embarrassment. He was still smiling, as if he had heard something very interesting, and leaned over to look at Lin Ze. His eyes asked: "How do you know that I am the King of Beijing? I haven't become a prince yet."

Lin Ze ignored him, but Shui Rong added a sentence with a smile: "But it will be soon, my father and mother are going to travel, and there is no one in this palace. My father said, I will give it to the emperor when I turn around." Please seal me up."

Lin Ze really has nothing to do with this person, why didn't he find out from the original book that King Beijing Jing is a chatterbox? !This guy should be pulled out for 10 minutes, and then dragged in, maybe the world will be much quieter from now on.

Before he knew it, Lin Ze had learned Wen Xibai's sharp brain supplement skills, and was able to use them proficiently.

As unwilling to be lonely, Zhun Beijing Wang Shui Rong felt neglected and felt a little bit bitter.It was the first time he had been ignored since he grew up so big, and it was still ignored by the person in front of him who might have an inseparable relationship with him!

So... when Lin Ze saw the little bit of sadness in the eyes of Shui Rong in front of him, he suddenly wanted to grab his shoulder and shake him violently. "Did you pretend like [beep——] your family made it outside?"

Shui Rong's brain waves are obviously not in the same range as Lin Ze's. Just when the two were speechless at Shimai with affection, Shui Zhan frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

Good question!Lin Ze got up from the bamboo chair first and ran to Shui Zhan's side. At the same time, he silently gave a big praise to Shui Zhan's question in his heart!

Shui Rong straightened his clothes in a calm manner, then turned around and said to Shui Zhan with a smile, "I'm here to see the lovely brother Ze."

Brother Ze...? !Who are you calling?

Lin Ze gave him a look.Then I quickly received the answer with a watery smile on my face, it was calling you!

Shut up!You talkative!

……

The silent communication between the two finally ended with a sharp eye knife from Lin Ze.The smile on Shui Rong's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled at Shui Zhan, "I came to deliver something to you, and I thought you might be here today. Who wants to look at Ze as soon as he comes..." Lin Ze sharply Under the gaze of Lin Ze, Shui Rong changed his words sensibly, "Whoever wants to look at Lin Ze as soon as he arrives, so we chatted with him for a while."

If it wasn't for Lin Ze's presence, Shui Zhan really wanted to rush over and hang Shui Rong up for interrogation.Don't say everything you should or shouldn't say, right?You know, when Lin Ze is really angry, that energy will drive people crazy!God knows, when he heard Shui Rong call Lin Ze "Brother Ze", the first emotion that flashed in his heart was not displeasure, but fear!

"What? Just put it down."

Shui Rong doesn't care about this sentence, the relationship between him and Shui Zhan is unshakable, they are cousins, and the relationship between their old man and the emperor is also iron-core, the line of King Beijing is purely loyal to the royal family The confession party, who does not hold any military power that threatens the royal family, and is related to the royal family, as long as he is not kicked in the head by a donkey and wants to rebel or something, in the next 100 years, as long as the emperor still has the surname Shui, the North Jing Wang will not be killed.

Shui Rong saw the amount of wine brought back by Shui Zhan, and immediately went over to sniff it, pointed to one of the jars and said, "Is this Lihuabai?"

Shui Zhan squinted at him, but didn't answer.

Shui Rong, however, seemed to have discovered a new continent, even his smiling expression changed, and he became a silly child.Holding a jar of wine in his arms, he refused to let it go, and kept yelling that such a good wine would be useless here, why not give it to him.

After hearing what he said, Shui Zhan said, "Take it back for you, and then drink two or three jars and get drunk to death in your lotus pond?"

"puff--"

"laugh--"

The first unceremonious laugh was of course Lin Ze's. He thought that the water-soluble substance possessed by the words basket was already shocking enough, but he didn't expect this product to have such a glorious history. .

The second sound was of course Shui Rong's sneering in a disguised way, he would not admit that the year before last he drank two jars of good wine and ended up lying on the stone bench, and then was blown by the cold wind, rolled into the lotus pond and almost drowned It's him!That's obviously not the same person as him, okay?Forget about that disgraceful past!

After Shui Zhan finished speaking, he ignored him, and only turned his head to ask Lin Ze, "Why are you here today, but what's the matter?" As he spoke, he saw Lin Ze's eyes turned blue, and his brows frowned slightly Get up, stretch out your hand to caress the blue color and say: "What's the matter? Can't you sleep well at night?"

"Hey, yes."

Sighing softly, Lin Ze was about to speak, when Shui Rong ran over with a smile again, pointed at Lin Ze and said with a smile, "There are two green spots under the eyes, don't you think it looks like a few years ago?" The squirrel that came up as a tribute?" He said, and gestured: "I remember, that squirrel also had such black spots under its eyes, and it also had a pair of black eyes, very similar to Lin Ze."

Seeing that Shui Zhan and Lin Ze were not talking, Shui Rong only thought that Lin Ze had never seen the little squirrel, so he sighed again: "Hey, you don't know, that little squirrel is really loved by people. I want it eagerly. As for the ladies in the emperor's harem, who doesn't like it? It seems that I heard that the emperor gave the squirrel to the empress, hey, isn't Shen San?"

Shui Zhan gave a faint "hmm" before wanting to skip the topic, and Shui Rong smiled again: "Let me tell you, if you want to see that squirrel, it's easy, just talk to Shen San. The concubine of the palace, the empress has always been responsive to his requests."

Lin Ze also gave an "um" and didn't speak again.He thought to himself: He can see that squirrel every day.Last fall, he also lost a ball of hair, which made him feel uncomfortable for a long time because of the itching.Fortunately, I have taken good care of it this year. Seeing the summer is over, it may not shed hair in autumn.

He was thinking about chirping here, and Shui Rong thought he was a little shy, so he didn't say anything, just went to the table with the jar of pear blossoms in his arms and looked around.

Shui Zhan glanced at Shui Rong, although he was a little unhappy that someone had to intervene when he and Lin Ze were getting along, but since Shui Rong was quite sensible, he didn't care about it.Turning around, I saw Lin Ze blinking his eyes and looking at him. There was still a bit of sleepiness in those eyes, and he immediately hooked out Shui Zhan's heartache.

"What have you been thinking about these days, huh? Look at this sleepy look."

Lin Ze stretched his arms lazily, then leaned on Shui Zhan's shoulder and smiled: "I didn't think about it, it's because I know something, it's because I can't sleep, I can't think about it, so I just I'm here to find my third brother."

After hearing this, Shui Zhan frowned.

What a chaotic situation in Jia's mansion, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, but he heard what Chang'an said, it was a very unruly family.What's more, every time he enters the palace to pay his respects to his mother, the eldest girl of Jia's family should not look at people too openly!Hmph, I don't want the man in the family to earn fame and establish a family business, but instead send my daughter to the palace to fight for wealth. I don't know what the Jia family thinks.

Anyway, it's just a sentence, the Third Highness is very disgusted with that family!

Lin Ze grabbed a jade pendant around Shui Zhan's waist and played with it for a while, then said in a low voice, "Then Jia Baoyu is well versed in personnel affairs, and I'm so overwhelmed, but I don't know what to do."

"what?"

Now it was Shui Zhan's turn to be surprised.How old is Jia Baoyu, more than nine years old?There is no such thing as ten years old!You can understand human affairs at such a young age, does their old lady know?

Lin Ze gave a low "hmm" and said, "Third brother, you also know that Jia Baoyu, whom the old lady of the Jia family usually dotes on, is like a baby phoenix egg. How old is this, and she still sleeps?" In Bisha Kitchen. And hang out with the sisters every day. It used to be fine, it was because everyone was young, but now he...he knows all those things, so it’s not good to stay together again stop."

"Of course not!"

Letting go of the Lihuabai in his hand, Shui Rong yelled: "Do you still have to ask this question? Of course, it's not good for a thousand and ten thousand!" As he spoke, he seemed to think of something again, and said doubtfully: "I've heard before that Jia Baoyu seemed to be born with jade in his mouth. People in his family often say that he will have great fortune in the future. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Well, there is a piece of jade, which is crystal clear and beautiful, and I have seen it before. There are only a few auspicious words engraved on it, and there is a vague prophecy, so it spreads. From my point of view, it is more than usual. It’s just that the beautiful jade has more aura, it’s nothing.” Lin Ze said, and reached out to touch his chest, he also wore a piece of Xiuyu inside, that’s really good.

Shui Zhan caught a glimpse of his small movements, smiled, and thought that Jia Baoyu had already mastered personnel affairs.Not to mention hanging out with the sisters at a young age, it is not in vain to ruin the reputation of the girl of the Lin family, and one more thing, Lin Ze living there will inevitably be affected.If Jia Baoyu really led him to ruin, there would be no place for him to cry.

"You might as well move back home as soon as possible, instead of staying in that smoky place."

Why didn't Lin Ze want to, but he just said so abruptly that he was going back, who would?Then he said with a bitter face: "Anyway, there must be a reason, otherwise we will go back for no reason, and outsiders will think that we are disrespectful to our ancestors."

So does Shui Zhan.Then he went to look at Shui Rong and said, "Tell me about the one you have the most ideas about."

Shui Rong rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Although I have many ideas, they are not serious. Let me think about it again, and then you can add up."

Hearing what he said, the depression in Lin Ze's heart dissipated.But thinking about Zijuan again, he sighed again: "This is not the only troublesome thing. Then Mrs. Jia gave my sister a maid named Zijuan, and she was obviously only a second-class maid. , but I have to go to the house every day. I don’t think about my current status, and what’s even more annoying is that I still can’t get clear with Jia Baoyu.”

Shui Zhan was taken aback by what he said, and asked why.

Lin Ze said: "I don't know either. Jia Baoyu often comes to me these days, and only talks about trivial things, which is meaningless. I can't bear to sit with him often, so I just accompany him for a while. After saying a few words, he made excuses to see off the guests, and always saw Zicuckoo talking with him. That's why I said, there is no rule at all between the maids of Jia's mansion and the men, see It's all annoying."

Just as he was talking, Lin Ze frowned again, "He came here once again today and said some strange things, and only then did I know that he was... I won't talk about it. The Zicuckoo happened to be passing by. I asked her to send Jia Baoyu back. Who would have thought that after a short while, when she came back, her clothes were a little disheveled, half of her bun was loose, and her face was flushed, which scared the second-class maid beside Daiyu. What's the matter?"

Shui Zhan also frowned when he heard the words, the water in Jia's house is too muddy, it's better to leave as soon as possible.

Just as he was talking, Shui Rong clapped his hands, came over and said with a smile, "I have it!"

Hearing what he said, Lin Ze stepped down.
