[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Glancing at Lin Ze who was buried in the sea of ​​books, Wen Xibai touched his nose and said nothing.He also couldn't understand why Lin Ze's complexion was getting uglier day by day. He looked like the king of Hades with a cold face. Looking at him for tens of miles around, no one of his colleagues would dare to talk to him.Tsk tsk tsk, smacking his mouth twice, Wen Xibai silently counted in his heart when did the days when this handsome boy turned into a cold-faced king of Hades began... Counting, isn't it the days when it is worth entering the cold winter months? .

Whoops, Wen Xibai patted himself on the head.

He just said, this Lin Ze's complexion is so serious, isn't it the fault of that fellow Pei Zijun!To say that autumn has just passed, and nothing major has actually happened, but Qianxiang Kingdom united with several Uhe small countries, and harassed me from time to time when I was heading towards the border. I just wanted to give a warning today, who would have thought The third prince was quite courageous, and he spoke so eloquently in the court that even he looked sideways and was in an uproar.

He doesn't know much about the Third Prince, but he does know one thing.Even the third prince and the prince of Beijing Jing have an iron-clad relationship with Lin Ze, and they are very affectionate.Unexpectedly, the third prince asked to personally lead the army, but Lin Ze didn't say anything at all, and he didn't go to see him off. It was hard for him, and he stood in the autumn wind for a long time, patronizing and looking at the screwdriver who was moving so fast. Ministers, you come and I toast and see you off.

This is just a small episode.Wen Xibai felt that the reason why Lin Ze was so abnormal must be related to his family.Thinking about it this way, the timing just happened to be so close, ouch, isn't that guy Pei Zijun going to get married in the next year?

The daughter of the Lin family is one of the most popular in the capital, not to mention that her father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and also a cabinet scholar, and even her elder brother is also a celebrity in front of the emperor. Then he entered the Hanlin Academy, which was the most noble place to go, plus the father and son were close ministers of the emperor, who would not want to have such an in-law in the family.

But there is no other way, the girl is also up to the mark, the empress sighed at her knees, looking at the world, how many good girls are rushing to show courteousness to the empress, but the empress only fell in love with girls from the Lin family.In addition, the emperor had the deepest affection for the empress and his wife, so this daughter of the Lin family was named princess and titled again.

Isn't the word "Yong'an" the holy meaning?

In other words, the Pei family is not bad, but such a hot-eyed good wife was chosen by the second son of the Pei family early on. Which of the men of the right age in the civil and military family of the Manchu Dynasty is not embarrassing.When he looked at Lin Ze, it was affectionate, but when he looked at Pei Zijun, he was smiling on the surface, but gritted his teeth in his heart.

The queen's will is very clear, if the Pei family wants to marry, the princess is also willing to marry.But the princess is young, so the Lin family feels distressed after passing the mansion.So, what the queen empress means is that she has to wait for the princess to get married and choose a good day before getting married.

Said it was Jiji, but it didn't seem like many days would be here soon.

Wen Xibai pawed at his fingers, it's the end of the new year, and when the new year is over, the Flower Festival will not be far away.Princess Yong'an was born on the Huachao Festival, and the noble lady of the capital spread the word that the princess of Yong'an, who is more beautiful than Hua, must be the reincarnation of the flower fairy, and she will be blessed and gracious throughout her life.When Wen Xibai heard this from his mother, he remembered it, and when he told Lin Ze back, it made Lin Ze laugh.

Isn’t that right, Fairy Crimson Pearl was reincarnated in the mortal world, Lin Ruhai is now in good health, Daiyu has an elder brother, a younger brother, and the Empress Dowager and Princess Beijing really love her, it seems that Daiyu will not suffer any pain in this life .

Lin Ze raised his head from the official document, glanced at Wen Xibai who was in a trance, snorted and said, "You are very busy, are these transcribed files trying to fool you? I would like to remind you, today The one on duty is Master Li."

Mr. Li is the editor of the Hanlin Academy. He is the most noble and upright person, and he dislikes frivolous people the least.Every time he sees Wen Xibai, he has to check it out severely, isn't it all because Wen Xibai looks like a fool.Another one, because Mr. Li is famous for his integrity, even the emperor appreciates it very much, so he was allowed to strictly teach the nobles in the Hanlin Academy, and it was also for their own good.

But this made Wen Xibai suffer.

He had always been Master Li's main focus, and whenever it was Master Li's turn to be on duty, Wen Xibai mostly hid if he could, and slipped away when he couldn't.Fortunately, Lin Ze was protecting him, so nothing major went wrong, but today...seeing that Lin Ze had already packed up all the files on the table, Wen Xibai's sense of crisis was finally activated. alarm bell.

Grabbing Lin Ze's arm, the Wen Xibai in front of him didn't have the unrestrained and handsome look of a romantic man, with a bitter face, and his facial features were about to be crumpled into a ball, no matter how you look at it, it makes people laugh .

"For the sake of my classmates, at least you can help me, so many are good." Seeing the long and cumbersome files on the table, Wen Xibai couldn't help but want to rub his forehead and sigh.What kind of crime did he do, he will never laugh at that guy Pei Zijun for being tired from running around every day, facing these long-winded and boring copywriting, he would rather be with Pei Da Bingkuang and bathe in the cold wind together.

Lin Ze was not in the mood to talk to him, so he threw over an annotated book of classics and history, pointed to the words on the cover, and said with a smirk: "Why didn't you see that you were poor when you gave advice, but now It's very rare when I also stump you. I have an elm head and I can't bear it. Uncle Wen should rely on the ancient and modern sages to rescue me, and I will leave." After finishing speaking, he even let out a cold snort. Roll up your sleeves and go.

The rest of Wen Xibai wanted to cry, but why did Lin Ze's words sound so familiar? Wasn't it the same words he said when he urged Pei Zijun to give gifts to the younger sister of the Lin family?Pei Zijun!Grinding his teeth fiercely, what a Pei Zijun, what kind of brotherhood is he talking about, bah!As soon as he arrived in front of his brother-in-law-to-be, this guy stopped pretending to be a gourd, and sold him out just dumping beans in a bamboo basket!

While flipping through the collections of classics and history, writing vigorously while still having to keep watch for himself, Wen Xibai felt regret and hatred in his heart!Secretly swear: When the young master passes Master Li's inspection, see if Pei Zijun will be pinned to the ground and beaten crazily!

It's just that you have to pass the customs first.

However, that's all for later.As for Wen Xibai, it was all his own doing, anyway, Lin Ze was lazy to take care of it.Thinking of Mr. Li's pedantic nature, Wen Xibai would have to be taught a lesson.That's good, so that he doesn't have nothing to do all day long, just thinking about giving Pei Zijun a bad idea, and giving Daiyu this or that in different ways.

Glancing at the sinking sky, Lin Ze tightened his cloak.The end of the year is approaching, and it has been more than four months since that person went to guard the border.Thinking of the dusk and afternoon of that day, the air was full of depression, but my heart was as cold as cold water poured down.Since that day, that person also came to invite him several times, but he avoided them all.

Later, he asked for orders to attack Qianxiang country, and he went there for four months.

Lin Ze didn't know what Shui Zhan was thinking, but in his heart, the anger and sorrow of that day seemed to have subsided a lot, and the days without Shui Zhan by his side seemed like a year.All the emotions of the past have been eroded, and all that remains is worry and longing for Shui Zhan.

Lin Ze pulled the corners of his mouth, and his smile was a bit far-fetched.It's really ridiculous that he still misses the person who has no heart for him.

When Kankan walked to the gate of the Hanlin Academy, he heard swift footsteps behind him.Before Lin Ze turned his head to look, he heard a shrill voice respectfully saying: "Master Xiao Lin is well, the Empress has invited Master Xiao Lin to enter the palace."

The Kunning Palace where the queen lives is naturally the best, with warm silver charcoal burning in the room, and pleasant spices in the smoker cage.As soon as Lin Zecai entered, his face was filled with warmth.Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of God sitting upright in the seat directly in front of the hall, and Lin Ze hurriedly bowed down and said, "Long live the emperor, and blessings to the empress."

The emperor stretched out his hand and shouted, ordered Lin Ze to sit down, and then said with a smile: "I heard Chen Guanghe from the Imperial Academy say today that Mr. Xiao Lin fell ill again a few days ago, and now it seems that he has lost a lot of weight, and his health is better. Already?"

"Thank you for your love, the emperor, Wei Chen is thin, but he occasionally catches a cold, and he will recover after a few days. It's just that Mr. Chen saw that Wei Chen had a lot of coughing a few days ago, so he thought that Wei Chen was seriously ill, but in fact it was nothing. in the way."

After hearing Lin Ze's explanation, not only did the two of them not feel relieved, but they frowned even tighter.Although the emperor wanted to say a few words of concern, but because of his different identities, he seemed too close and was afraid that Lin Ze would feel uneasy, so it was hard to speak.The empress was even more devoted to her child, and she could speak thousands of words, but she couldn't express it, and a somewhat sad expression appeared on her face.

Just when the room was full of embarrassment, I heard the palace servants say: "The eleventh prince has an audience—!"

Lin Ze quickly stood up, bowed his head and stood aside with his hands tied.Therefore, I also missed the pity and reluctance that flashed in the eyes of the emperor and queen.

The mother and concubine of the eleventh prince had a low status, and she passed away after giving birth to the eleventh prince.The Eleventh Prince was still in his infancy and had no concubine to take care of him. There were many slaves in the palace who watched the dishes, so the care of the Eleventh Prince was quite neglected.Fortunately, the Eleventh Prince's life should not be terminated. The Empress accidentally remembered his existence, and ordered her to bring her to have a look. She saw that the Eleventh Prince was weak and pitiful, and immediately punished the palace servant who took care of the Eleventh Prince. It's no problem to take care of the eleventh prince under his knees.

To be honest, these eleven princes are very similar in age to Lin Ze, they were all born in the same year, and they are all weak in health.The only difference is that Lin Ze is better off now because Jia Min and Lin Ruhai took care of him when he was a child.The eleventh prince had a fever brought on by his mother's womb, and because of the negligent care of the womb during the period from birth to the full moon, he couldn't leave his mouth with medicine all day long.

Lin Ze was in a daze thinking about the rumors he had heard about the eleven princes in the past, so he heard the voice of the eleven princes who had already saluted the emperor and the empress very close: "Is this Master Xiaolin, really nice A handsome man."

As soon as the voice fell, Lin Ze's hand was already affectionately held.
