The Red House Returns the Pearl Lin's Home

Lin Lu went to Rongguo Mansion on the sixth day of the first lunar month. The eighth day of the first lunar month is Gu Ri, the birthday of Lord Yama in Taoism, and it is also Lin Lin's birthday.

Maybe it's because he hasn't lost face yet, or because of the sudden increase in workload due to the disaster in the north, Qianlong didn't come here in person, but he asked Hailancha to give him a gift.

Lin Lu turned the small object in her hand, and put it back on the tray with a smile: "Master Ai is really picky, so he gave such a weird thing."

"This is... the emperor ordered someone to make it specially. It took a whole month to make just this one. Compared with the muskets of foreigners, the master thinks it suits Ziyu's appetite." Hai Lancha heard him say so. I was not happy about it, and even pretended that he didn't know the goods, explained it specially, and demonstrated how to use it.

"Wow, so the background is so big? It's because of my shallow knowledge. Thank you for sending it here." Lin Lu smiled and looked at the table that was shot through. "It's a pity that you have to be on duty today, so I won't let you eat. .”

Hai Lancha nodded, took out another package, and handed it to Lin Lin with a smile: "This is what I prepared, just be careful."

After Hai Lancha left, Lin Lin looked at Lin Lu and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"Isn't it just a gun? So what if it's made of gold, it's still rotten." Lin Lu smiled nonchalantly, picked up the gun, took three seconds to disassemble it, and four seconds to reassemble it. He put it on his shoulder and made a gesture, "With this level of manufacturing, using gold is really blind. The range is within 15 meters, and the thicker chest muscles can't be shot directly, but the recoil is too strong, and it may break my shoulder. .”

The firearms equipped in the Qing Dynasty were actually not bad, but they paid more attention to artillery than muskets. This is a continuation of the thinking of the Ming Dynasty. The five thousand bird spearmen equipped by Gerdan.

In the Kangxi era, western musket technology still remained at the matchlock era. Front-loading muskets were not much better than fire sticks on a galloping and bumpy horseback. After comparing their own riding and shooting with the firearms at that time, the Qing army found that the level of firepower Its rate of fire, range, and killing effect are far inferior to the Eight Banners soldiers' sharp-shooting saber for close combat, so the focus is still on training soldiers to ride and shoot.

Lin Lin looked over with a sharp gaze that could peel people off. Lin Lu shrugged her shoulders and curled the corners of her lips nonchalantly: "I think we can stop the boring probing and suspicion of each other. Let's just say— ——I come from the...normal world more than 200 years later, and I am... a low-grade thief in your understanding—and what about you, an old antique from who knows how many years ago?"

Lin Lin was not surprised, she was silent for three seconds, and said in a low voice, "Even thieves can be equipped with this thing after 200 years?"

"I'm not an ordinary thief." Lin Lu smiled smugly, shaking the old-fashioned pistol in her hand, "I'm not a violent criminal, but according to my standards, this model is a bit too noisy."

He paused for a moment, thinking about it: "At that time, pistols were still very common, let alone one in everyone's hands, it was almost the same."

"Impossible," Lin Lin sneered, and she was not fooled at all, "Hand crossbows are several times more lethal than bows and arrows, but bows and arrows are far more popular than hand crossbows, and are not often used even in the army. As a result, no emperor would like to see one of his most ordinary subjects have the ability to kill a well-trained expert in an instant, not to mention that the pistol in your hand is more lethal than the hand crossbow."

Cut, bumpkin, there will be no goddamned emperor in 200 years.Lin Lu didn't feel the embarrassment of her lie being exposed at all, she rolled her eyes calmly.

He thought for a while, and immediately widened his eyes: "No, don't try to get in, you haven't said where you came from?"

Lin Lin gave him a contemptuous look, grabbed the musket, turned around and walked inside: "Go in, my sister is still waiting."

They were eating together at first, but Hai Lancha came suddenly, Lin Daiyu went to hide in the inner room, and the dishes on the table were also moved inside.

Lin Lin slapped the pistol on the table indifferently, and Lin Daiyu unconsciously glanced at the strange thing, and asked with a smile, "What is this?"

"The monk's 12th birthday present." Lin Lu narrowed her eyes, "It was given to him by his father."

"Take it if you like it, I'm not interested in this." Lin Lin indicated that she could pick it up and look at it directly, "Just be careful not to hurt yourself."

Lin Daiyu shook her head, but didn't reach out her hand: "Since it was given by that old gentleman with a sincere heart, Ziyu should be kept properly, how can I give it to others?"

As a lady with orthodox family education, Lin Daiyu actually looked down on Lin Lin's motherly behavior back then. She didn't understand the whole story, but unmarried deceitful behavior was always condemned, and the pressure on the woman was always heavier than that of the man. much.

What's more, she was pregnant with a child, and she didn't get rid of it despite the pressure from all directions. It would be fine if she was raised in a safe and sound manner, but she was thrown at the gate of the temple without knowing whether she was alive or not. down?

Lin Lin let out a sigh of relief, her eyes and brows showed an unconcealable indifference, and she had no excuses. Lin Lu helped turn the atmosphere around, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the monk is just talking for fun, how can I really give it away?" ?” As he spoke, he kicked him.

Lin Lin was stepped on, and her face was a little dark: "If you dare to step on me again, I will kill you."

Lin Lu blinked her eyes, smiled without any fear, and yelled enthusiastically, "Kill me, I won't be in a hurry to reincarnate after I die, I'll make trouble with you every night."

Several blue veins popped out of Lin Lin's forehead, and the ivory chopsticks in her hand snapped.

Lin Daiyu sighed softly, ignored them, lowered her head, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and put them in her mouth to chew carefully.

——————————————————————————————————————

As Lin Lu expected, Xue Pan approached the door on the tenth day of the first lunar month. In order not to appear too abrupt, he even got involved with Jia Baoyu.

Originally, Jia Baoyu didn't want to come to the muddy water here, but couldn't bear Xue Pan's earnest begging and soft-heartedness for several days, and was also poked by his unintentional words. He wanted to come to the Lin family to see how his sister Lin was doing. How about it.

Jia Baoyu was in Jia's mother's room that day, and heard Lin Daiyu half-truthfully complaining about the hardships of being a housekeeper in the Lin residence. If this is the case, no matter what, I should have begged my ancestors to take my sister back to Rongguo Mansion.

Xue Pan didn't dare to post a greeting post in advance, for fear that his sweetheart would get bored with him, so he avoided it in advance, so when the two arrived at the door, they handed over the post to the guard of the Lin family's gate, and then waited anxiously at the door with a sweet and anxious face. waiting outside.

It's a bit of a coincidence that Qianlong was also there when the letter of worship was delivered, talking with Lin Lin in great interest.

On Lin Lin's birthday, she did not shirk and refuse the gift from Qianlong. He accepted the special musket, which made the emperor feel that there was a step down.

Qianlong's feelings for Lin Lin are very complicated, especially the more they get along, the more obvious the secretive feeling in his heart.

Lin Lin's appearance completely followed the matrilineal line, and it can be said that she didn't have a copper plate like Qianlong, and her personality was also obviously different from Qianlong who liked to show generosity to his ministers when he had nothing to do.

His son doesn't look like himself, but Qianlong's doubts about his father's identity are disappearing day by day, for no other reason. The majesty and indifference of stocks have something in common.

When Qianlong was young, Kangxi favored him, and he stood out among more than 100 grandparents and grandchildren. He was raised by Kangxi and carefully cultivated, and then he was able to occupy a clear advantage in the subsequent battle for the reserve position, and he was able to secure his buttocks without any danger. The dragon chair below.

Compared with the respect and gratitude to Kangxi, Qianlong's affection for Yongzheng is a little weaker. He likes to skip his father and compare it with his grandfather in the next generation. He was already dead, so he couldn't stand in his way. To have a son with a temperament like Yongzheng's, Qianlong not only didn't feel disgusted, but was quite pleasantly surprised.

At the end of the round, Hai Lancha counted the black and white pieces, glanced at Qianlong who had lost three rounds in a row, and smiled dryly: "Master, there is one more black piece." You lost again.

He was afraid that the old man would turn his back on him, so he said it with fear, but Qianlong didn't care at all, waved his hand, and looked quite happy: "Ziyu's chess skills are superb, I feel ashamed."

He himself was very happy, and his whole body was filled with the aura of "how about it, my son is so promising and capable", Hai Lancha couldn't say anything.

Lin Lu watched from the side with a smile on her face, she glanced and saw Lin Shun winking at him standing at the door.

Qianlong naturally saw it too, didn't say anything, waved to Lin Lu to deal with it on his own, just looked at Lin Lin and said with a smile: "Who did you learn Ziyu's chess skills from? Back then, I had a contest with Lin...Brother Ruhai , Brother Ruhai's writing knowledge is naturally excellent, but unfortunately his chess skills are limited."

Lin Ruhai is a talented young man with outstanding talents. He has dabbled in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Compared with Qianlong, it is hard to say who is better than the other.

Lin Lin raised her eyes: "I learned it from my husband. When I was in Yangzhou, my husband often talked with Qing Ke at home. I watched from the side and gradually figured out the way."

Qianlong was overjoyed, and the question that had been lingering in his mind was answered. Lin Lin called Lin Ruhai "Sir", not "Father" directly.

As soon as this heart trouble was gone, Qianlong became even more interested, and leaned forward slightly: "This year is catching up with the civil and martial arts competition, and the martial arts will be held in the beginning of spring. Would Ziyu give it a try?"

The emperor is indeed full of confidence in Lin Lin. If he can beat Hai Lancha, then it is not ordinary martial arts. Not to mention the No. [-] pick, at least getting into the second place is a certainty, not to mention his own son, no matter what, he has to take care of him .

Qianlong was very happy to count with his fingers. Lin Lin is only 12 years old this year. With his talent and ability, and his own help, if all goes well, it is not difficult to win three yuan. Tsk tsk, a 12-year-old Wu champion Well, such good things and good stories, telling him that he is a father and a monarch is also a face.

"Sir, he treated me with both the grace of adoption and the virtue of nurturing. He was diligent and cared for me," Lin Lin raised her eyes coldly. "Although we are not biological father and son, we have a deep relationship in the past seven years. Regarding the matter of adopting me as an adopted son, I originally planned to be a filial piety for my husband for three years, not to mention that now my husband and I already have the names of father and son."

Qianlong was blocked for a while. It is really nothing to keep filial piety and not to keep filial piety. He urged several censors to impeach him, and he issued another order not to recognize Lin Ruhai's act of adopting his son. able to solve.

After all, the saying that "different surnames are not raised" is there, and it is indeed Lin Ruhai who did it against the rules.

Once Lin Lin and Lin Ruhai lost the name of adoptive father and son, they naturally didn't have to observe the three-year filial piety period for Lin Ruhai, wasting time for nothing.

Qianlong wanted to raise his son by his side earlier and support him gradually. It would be a pity that he could not justify his son's name, but he had to protect his son's prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that she has suffered a bit of a soft nail now, and it's not a matter of rules. Lin Lin voluntarily kept her filial piety for Lin Ruhai.

He was unhappy and stopped talking. Lin Lin couldn't take the initiative to speak, and Hailancha couldn't interrupt, and the atmosphere turned cold for a while.

Lin Lu went out for a while, and she hasn't come back yet. In the past, due to Lin Lin's ignorance, cold scenes happened from time to time, and they all depended on Lin Lu's eloquence to turn the atmosphere around.

At this moment, the two of them were so stiff, Qianlong really missed that clever and sensible boy, and was wondering why he hadn't come back yet, when he listened, he heard a faint sound coming from the yard outside.

The sound was not loud, there was only a little noise in the blur, but considering that the distance between the yard and the study room was not close, and there were more than a dozen potted plants in the middle acting as sound-absorbing belts, Qianlong reckoned who was tearing heart and lungs from the yard. The voice is shouting.

Hai Lancha is a martial arts student, with sharp ears and eyes, and has heard a little more than Qianlong. She glanced over Lin Lin's body and recited a Buddha in her heart.

This Xue Pan didn't know which gods he had offended, every time he would hit the muzzle of the gun happily, that is a person who never gets tired of it, and he doesn't know how to look back after smashing the south wall.

Qianlong listened to it for a long time, heard a few fragmentary words indistinctly, and heard Lin Lin's name, he was more suspicious, and ordered: "Go and ask what's going on, why did Gongyu delay for so long and didn't come back? "

Every time Qianlong came, Lin Lu had already let the servants of the Lin family avoid him. At this time, there were only three people in the room. Hai Lancha knew that these words were definitely not addressed to Lin Lin. He didn't mean to move his buttocks to go out to have a look, so he had to bite the bullet and agree, and walked out slowly.

It took Hai Lancha a long time to walk to the gate, seeing the people standing outside, sighed in his heart, his face sank, and he said displeasedly: "What's the matter, where are the lunatics from the New Year's Eve stuck here to mourn? "

At that time, Xue Pan was clenching his fists and was about to beat Lin Lu, but Jia Baoyu was trembling by his side and said nice words to fight him.

Lin Lu stood lazily, spread her hands and said with a smile: "Hey, it's fine if you don't believe me. Let me point out someone who can convince you. Hai Lancha, tell Mr. Xue, is my brother feeling uncomfortable? Li, are you recuperating in bed?"

The corner of Hai Lancha's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Lin Lu suspiciously. He didn't expect that this time, instead of tricking Xue Pan into breaking into Lin's mansion to die, he was actually trying to stop him.

Hai Lancha naturally didn't believe that Lin Lu could be so kind, but now was not the time to care about these things, and said coldly, "Brother Ziyu caught a cold, and the imperial doctor took a pulse and prescribed a prescription to rest. It's really inconvenient to see people, you guys It’s not a coincidence, hurry back.”

Hai Lancha was also extremely impatient at this time, what kind of bullshit, he found it again and again, and really regarded himself as a character.

"It's all my fault that I didn't make it clear. Ziyu was ill a few days ago and couldn't move around. That day he didn't follow me to my grandmother's and uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings. That's why I said Brother Xue will come back after the first lunar month. It's unlucky and I'm afraid Xue Eldest brother was concerned, and didn’t directly say that he was ill. I never thought that elder brother Xue would come here now.” Lin Lu frowned in a pretentious manner, looked at Jia Baoyu again, and reproached him affectionately, “You were there at the time, so I didn’t persuade you Look at Big Brother Xue, and come here to meddle?"

Of course, Jia Baoyu was embarrassed to say that he followed to see Sister Lin, so he didn't feel awkward, blushing and didn't open his mouth.

Naturally, Xue Pan didn't believe this argument, and when he saw Hai Lancha, he became even more angry, raised his hand and pointed at Hai Lancha's nose, and shouted: "Then why can he go in? He can see it, but I can't see it." ? Get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude!"

Hai Lancha frowned, pushed his hand away, and said with a sneer: "Oh? I want to see how the young master of the Xue family is going to be rude to me?"

Hai Lancha was about to teach him a lesson with a dark face, when he heard Qianlong's voice with obvious displeasure: "What's wrong with it, what are you doing making such a fuss?"

Although Qianlong didn't say anything, he was hit by the fact that his own son expressed that he wanted to keep his father's filial piety to another man. Now he is in a daze and his heart is quite blocked. It is when he has a bad temper. So I sent it to Lin Lin, holding back my anger.

Hai Lancha turned her head to look over, and found that not only Qianlong came out, but also Lin Lin came out of the study following behind him, with a "thump" in her heart.

Xue Pan saw that the beauty in his heart didn't look sick at all. Sure enough, Lin Lu was shaking herself, blushing with anger, especially seeing the kid smiling and not guilty at all, it made her even more angry. Pull up your sleeves, raise your hand and punch him.

Lin Lu still smiled and stood still. He originally thought that Hai Lancha would be able to throw Xue Pan out by raising his hand, and he would never hurt himself. He didn't expect Xue Pan to fly out like a deflated hydrogen balloon. , but it was not Hailancha who did it.

Lin Lin's speed was as fast as a ghost, and she quietly appeared next to Lin Lu with a flick of her waist, and she lifted her leg and put it on Xue Pan's stomach.

Lin Lin's face was so gloomy that she could drip water, and there were blue veins protruding from her forehead and the back of her hands. After kicking, she still didn't give up, and kicked a small stone on Xue Pan's acupuncture point with her toes.

Lin Lu couldn't help but look at him more, and hurriedly stopped him, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'm not hurt, don't hit too hard."

As if to explain his words, Xue Pan's screams rang out immediately, extremely shrill, and he vomited blood while holding his stomach while howling.

Jia Baoyu was already terrified by the changes in front of him, and walked over with trembling legs, his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Brother Xue, are you okay, Brother Xue?"

He was so frightened that he was at a loss, and he lost his mind. Fortunately, the two of them did not come alone, and each of them brought three or five servants. Mingyan hurried over and yelled at his companions to help Xue Pan up.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't help him up. Xue Pan's whole body seemed to be stuck to the ground.

"What did you do?" Lin Lu saw that this was a sign of incontinence, she was startled, and hurriedly said, "Did you tap any of his acupoints? Come on, it's New Year's Eve, this is my Lin family The gate." It would be too disgusting and unlucky to make people feel relieved here.

Lin Lin snorted coldly, and raised her hand to shake Xue Pan lightly. Lin Lu squinted her eyes and saw a black streamer flashing past her eyes, and Xue Pan's howling was only slightly lowered in decibels.

"I ordered another acupuncture point to temporarily seal his senses." Lin Lin sneered as she watched the group of servants and Jia Baoyu rushing around to finally help Xue Pan up.

Qianlong just glanced at Xue Pan's face just now, but he felt vaguely familiar. Later, when Xue Pan's face was full of tears, he felt disgusted and disgusted, so he moved his eyes away. Really old acquaintance.

Therefore, Xue Pan should feel extremely honored. Qianlong has a lot of opportunities and deals with big bosses from all sides every day. The Beijing officials below the fifth rank under his own hands have not yet remembered their faces. People recognized it.

Xue Pan was so painful just now that he wanted to pass out. At this time, Lin Lin took a sunspot that he used to play chess with Qianlong and tapped the numbness point. The pain stopped temporarily, and he did not immediately forget the previous life is better than death. Lin Lin seemed trembling when she spoke, and said in a soft voice: "Brother Lin, your brother cursed you to be seriously ill in bed, and I will help you vent your anger, why did you hit me instead?"

You know this is my brother, but you dare to reach out to him?Lin Lin raised her eyebrows, slightly displeased: "What are you, who the hell are you calling 'brother'?"

When Xue Pan was told this, he was not angry but happy, consciously heard the meaning of coquettishness from the words, struggled to break free from the servant who was supporting him, made a bow happily, and said happily: "Then I will give Lin Da Brother, let’s make up for it.”

Xue Pan was beaten and lay on the bed for nearly two months last time, and he couldn't say a word to Lin Lin directly. This time, he thought it was just a kick, and he could say a few more words to the beauty, which was also worthwhile.

Lin Lu froze for a moment, waved her hand to show that she didn't care, and said with a smile: "Brother Xue's words are serious, it's not worth anything, and I wasn't hurt." You really are a fool.

"I came here this time to make amends to Brother Lin." Xue Pan smiled and moved forward tentatively. Seeing that Lin Lin didn't turn his face, he was even more overjoyed. He kept moving forward, salivating and smiling, "Second Lin Brother, I was the one who was reckless last time, I hope you will take more care of me, brother."

Jia Baoyu was stunned for a while in shock. He exhausted all his brain cells and couldn't figure out where Xue Pan got such courage after being kicked so hard that he vomited blood just now. think.

Seeing that Xue Pan was getting closer to Lin Lin as he walked closer, in order not to let Xue Pan die in front of his eyes, Jia Baoyu rushed over in three steps at a time, stuck between him and Lin Lin, and forced a smile: "Yes, Lin Lin Second cousin, brother Xue made a special trip to apologize to you, he is very sincere."

Qianlong, who had been ignored for a long time, coughed lightly, reminding everyone present that he was not a potted plant that could be regarded as the background.

Lin Lu turned her head to look at him. Because of the conflict just now, more than 20 pedestrians gathered around the Lin Mansion to watch the fun. Under such circumstances, it was naturally not suitable for Qianlong to stay any longer, although the crowd watching were all servants and servants. There are servants and ordinary people in coarse linen clothes, but it is hard to guarantee that any high-ranking official will stop by and recognize Qianlong.

Qipan Street, where the Lin Mansion is located, has always been a gathering area for wealthy families. The people who live here are generally noble and official families. The chances of Qianlong being recognized are not small.

With this realization, Lin Lu suggested: "Master, it's getting late, should I ask someone to call for a carriage?"

Qianlong was not willing to leave here, but it would cause big trouble if people recognized him, so he nodded and asked Lin Lu and Hai Lancha to make arrangements for themselves, and looked at Lin Lin with a pleasant face and said, "Ziyu, come with me, please? "

Of course, Qianlong did not intend to bring Lin Lin to the palace, after all he had no intention of recognizing his son, but he had just been out of the palace for a while, so he could sit in Hailancha's mansion for a while, not only to help his son get rid of the annoying flies, but also to hold on tight Time for some more emotional exchanges.

Lin Lin nodded, also very tired of Xue Pan's endless pestering.

After Xue Pan was shocked, he became furious, clutched his chest and took two steps back, glared at Qianlong angrily, and cursed: "What are you, it's your turn to intervene when you, Uncle Xue, talk?"

Jia Baoyu saw that this man was naturally arrogant and majestic, and guessed that he had an unusual background, worried that Xue Pan would cause big trouble, so he hurriedly tugged on his sleeve to signal him not to speak again.

Xue Pan didn't care about this, standing so close to Lin Lin, he was already itching all over his body, seeing that he was ignored at all, and thinking of seeing this middle-aged man coming out of the same room with Lin Lin just now, he himself With dirty thoughts in his head, he wanted to distort the relationship between the two, and immediately shouted: "Brother Lin, what's so good about this old man, don't let him fool you!"

Xue Pan raised his hand in the air and waved it vigorously. As more and more passers-by gathered around to watch, he shook the trees and said, "You follow me and try. What he can give, you, my brother, can also give you." , not to mention anything else, such an old man, on the bed..."

Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, he was kicked out by Lin Lin again.

This time Lin Lin exerted significantly more force than last time, Xue Pan flew up like a cannonball, fell heavily on the street amidst the noise of the audience, spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and passed out immediately.

Qianlong never expected that he could say such nonsense at all, he was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked, he kept getting into the carriage and was stunned for a long time.

When the emperor really understood what shit Xue Pan was spraying just now, it took him no more than 2.0 seconds to transform into an upgraded version of the fire-breathing Godzilla monster + King Kong [-] with wings.
