Jinyu of the Red Chamber

Time flies by, Lin Jinyu has been studying in "Junyi Academy" for six years, and she is quite famous, everyone thinks that Lin's family is like Mr. Yu, who is not yet old enough to tie his hair, but he is very knowledgeable, even his father The wind is bound to have a bright future.

After six years of dormancy, Lin Jinyu was only looking forward to the start of the examination and to gain face for the Lin family. Especially this year, he was basically stayed at home by Mr. Zhou, just for the sake of being able to win the championship in one fell swoop.

"Master." Lin Jinyu's servant, Ji Xiang, hurried into the house.

Lin Jinyu frowned lightly, glanced at Jixiang lightly, and said lightly: "Why is it so hasty, how do I teach you all on weekdays, it's really rude."

Ji Xiang's face fell down: "Master, it's Prince Ye's mansion."

Lin Jinyu raised her brows slightly, but she never put down the pen in her hand, she just opened her lips and asked, "Which one came?" It is extremely difficult for someone to send things over, even if he wants to be flattered.

"Oh, my lord, if someone else would make me so anxious." Ji Xiang was really anxious, but the prince was waiting outside!My master is not in the mansion, and there is no one to entertain guests.

Lin Jinyu put the pen on the inkstone with an extremely elegant gesture, brushed off his sleeves, and stood up calmly, with a smile on his lips: "It's not worth your urgency." After finishing speaking, Lin Jinyu lifted his legs and left.

Ji Xiang muttered something behind Lin Jinyu, and seeing Lin Jinyu's eyes lightly sweeping towards him, he hurriedly raised a flattering smile.

Lin Jinyu laughed, shook her head, walked to the main hall, and saw Prince Ye wearing a smoky purple soft silk brocade robe, a belt with dark patterns inlaid with white jade around his waist, a white jade crown on his head, and a folding fan in his hand. .

"I've met Lord Ye." Lin Jinyu was about to bow, but was stopped by Lord Ye, and said with a smile: "It's only been a few days since I saw you, how come you are so unfamiliar with me?"

Lin Jinyu showed a faint smile: "Isn't this your first visit to the mansion!" Speaking of which, Lin Jinyu and this prince Ye are very familiar. This prince Ye is Lin Jinyu's senior brother Junse, but when they first met, Junse did not King.

Jun Se chuckled, and sat down without Lin Jinyu letting her in. She tapped the fan in her hand and said, "You sit too. There is no need to pay so much attention between you and me. You have been studying at Mr.'s house for the past few months. I It's not good to disturb your business, I thought I haven't seen you for a long time, so I rushed to visit, you don't need to pay attention, there is nothing else."

Lin Jinyu nodded with a smile: "Prince Lao Ye is thinking about it."

Junse frowned lightly: "Junse." It's only been a few months since I saw each other, so I changed my address. Fortunately, I came to the door today, otherwise I would have waited for a few days and I didn't even know anyone.

Lin Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, and looked at Junse with smiling eyes, the coquettish eyebrows and eyes were very touching.

Jun Se sighed silently, just a few moments later, Jinyu has become so charming, and in the past few years, it is uncertain how to reverse all living beings, especially those eyes are shimmering and shining, just like I can count as seeing all the beauties in the world, but I always lose my mind when facing these eyes.

"I know you want to avoid suspicion, and I don't want to force you, but it's always okay to call me brother."

Lin Jinyu is as good as a follower: "Brother."

"Forget it, forget it, the imperial examination is coming soon, I heard that the emperor intends to let Mr. Lin be the examiner again this time, and he is the chief examiner. You have to be prepared. If Mr. Lin is really the chief examiner, you will definitely cause trouble in the imperial examination this time. "Jun Se said softly, Lin Ruhai's official career has been smooth sailing in the past few years. If it weren't for his poor performance, he might be in the cabinet this year. If Lin Ruhai is the chief examiner this time, he will definitely be in the cabinet next year. Lin Ruhai, who is popular in people's eyes, is favored by his father and the emperor, and they are all waiting to catch Lin Ruhai's mistakes so that they can catch his pigtails.

"Long live Lord really has this intention?" Lin Jinyu frowned. He has been waiting for this year for a long time, so is it possible that he has to wait for three years?

Junse smiled wryly: "I will lie to you. The last time Master Ke Kaolin did not serve as an examiner because the officials could not be re-elected. I think the father intends to let Lin bring people into the cabinet. This time is a good opportunity. If Master Lin is like this Once served as the chief examiner of the general examination, in the coming year, he will surely skyrocket and be admitted to the cabinet."

Seeing Lin Jinyu's solemn expression, Jun Se hurriedly persuaded, "You don't have to worry too much, just read your book, even if Mrs. Lin is the examiner, no one can say anything about your article if it's there. Or, when the imperial father came in person during the palace examination, even those people who wanted to slander Mr. Lin would have no way to do so."

Lin Jinyu sighed softly and nodded: "Brother, don't worry, I know it well."

"I know you've always been very thoughtful, but I'm just here to give you an order, just to take a look at you. I won't come to see you these few days, lest people make irresponsible remarks. When you get your name on the gold list, I will hold a banquet for you in the mansion."

The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth raised slightly, with a slight smile: "Since that's the case, I'll trouble brother."

Jun Se pointed at Lin Jinyu and chuckled: "You are not self-effacing. It would be as easy for you to come to the Toad Palace to win the laurels."

Lin Jinyu raised her eyebrows confidently, chuckled lightly, and said, "It's not true, it's just that after studying for so many years, I dare not live up to my father's expectations."

Jun Se nodded in agreement, but he had great confidence in Jinyu in his heart. In his opinion, with Jinyu's talent, if he did not make mistakes, he would not be able to get away with the top three names, not to mention Mr. Zhou's respect for Jinyu. It is also praised again and again, and I only sigh that it is enough to teach such a student as Jinyu in this life.

After finishing the business, Jun Se smiled and pointed to the smoky purple brocade robe on her body: "Do you think this looks good? I know that you like purple very much. This brocade was just paid as a tribute to the palace, and the emperor gave it to me. So I made a suit to show you, and I have asked someone to bring the rest of the fabric, so you can also make a suit, and I think it will look better than mine."

Lin Jinyu gave Junse a strange look. In the past, Prince Ye's mansion always sent things, and there were many clothes and accessories, but Junse's tone...was too funny.

"Not good-looking?" Junse raised his eyebrows. He still feels pretty good looking at himself in the mirror, not to mention that people in the mansion also praised him for wearing Yushu Linfeng.

Lin Jinyu shook her head, said with a slight smile, "That's right, senior brother is a natural clothes hanger, he looks suave in whatever he wears."

Junse smiled and shook his fan: "You're bluffing me, I can only say that this smoky purple is fair for me to wear, it's not as luxurious and graceful as you put it on, and when you get your name on the gold list, I will hold a banquet for you in the mansion. Putting on such a smoky purple suit made me open my eyes."

Lin Jinyu responded with a smile, but wondered if he should change his habit of liking purple in the future, if not, one day he and Lord Ye would wear the same material of clothing, which would cause people to criticize.

Jun Se didn't know Lin Jinyu's thoughts. Seeing that Lin Jinyu agreed with his proposal, he smiled and suggested: "The tailor in my house is very skilled, why don't I send him to make clothes for you? By the way, when the time comes you Wearing the purple jade crown I sent you a few days ago is perfect for you."

A purple jade crown?Lin Jinyu thought for a while, and then remembered that half a month ago, Prince Ye's mansion sent a purple jade crown. The carving was extremely fine, and the orchid carving was lifelike. At that time, his father was very surprised when he saw it, because the jade crown gave him a crown. I once saw it at Lord Long Live, but I didn't know that it was given to Lord Ye later.

Lin Jinyu thinks about what happened half a month ago, Junse can remember so clearly, how free he is!

"Why? Don't you like it? Otherwise, it would be great to wear the white jade crown with silk and agate inlaid on it." Jun Se continued to suggest, which fully showed how free he was.

Lin Jinyu looked at Junse speechlessly, and laughed dryly: "I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later, it's getting late, brother, do you want to eat in the mansion?"

"It's not necessary, you can study at ease, we will have a long time to come." After finishing speaking, Jun Se stood up and glanced at Lin Jinyu regretfully. Although he wanted to stay for dinner, but now is an extraordinary period, and it is not suitable for him to be with Jinyu If you walk too close, it will not be worth the loss to avoid being criticized before the imperial examination.

"I'll see you off." Lin Jinyu also stood up.

Junse waved his hand: "You go back to study, and I will visit you after this time." After speaking, Junse strode away shaking the fan in his hand.

Lin Jinyu was as good as he was, and watched Junse off until he was out of sight, then turned back to her yard to continue studying.

In the evening, when Lin Ruhai came back, he immediately called Lin Jinyu to the study.

"Father." Lin Jinyu saluted respectfully as soon as he entered the door, and after Lin Ruhai nodded, Fang stood up and stood beside Lin Ruhai's desk with a smile.

Lin Ruhai nodded his head lightly. Although he tried his best to hide his gaze at Lin Jinyu, he couldn't stop his relief. Not to mention Lin Ruhai, even if it was Lin Ruhai, whoever put a young man like Lin Jinyu on the table would be very comforted and even proud. After all, we are all mortals, and there is no reason not to be proud and gratified to have such an heir that everyone praises.

"Father?" Lin Jinyu whispered suspiciously.

Lin Ruhai smiled, asked Lin Jinyu to sit down, and then said, "I've been busy with government affairs these few days, but I don't have time to check your homework. I don't need to worry about Mr. Zhou giving you advice."

"Father is relieved, the child will definitely live up to father's expectations, and dare not lose face to the Lin family." Lin Jinyu knew Lin Ruhai's expectations of him.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Jinyu with a smile. If he said that he had regrets in his life, there were not many, but it was one thing that he didn't get the first prize in the past. Now that he has Jinyu, he must have no regrets. He said without self-effacing, With Jinyu's talent, as long as he performs normally, he will definitely be able to win the gold list. What's more, the Lord Long Live values ​​young students. Jinyu's family background and age are his advantages. , Jinyu is the No.1 choice.

"Is Lord Ye coming to the mansion today?" Although Lin Ruhai asked, her words were very certain.

Lin Jinyu responded lightly, and his father also noticed how close he and Lord Ye had been in the past few years, but he never expressed any opinions, and he had no objection in his mind.

Lin Ruhai did not object. Among the several princes of Long Live today, Prince Ye is not necessarily the number one in terms of talent, but in terms of intelligence, Prince Ye is doing his part. Moreover, Prince Ye was born noble, and he is the only legitimate son in the world. He is also very powerful. In his generation, he can protect the Lin family without any worries, but the next generation has to rely on Jinyu. Jinyu and Lord Ye are good friends. It is a good choice for him to be a pure minister, but He failed to shine on the lintel of Lin's family, but Jinyu is different, as Mr. Zhou said, he is the embryo of a powerful minister, and he is very utilitarian, which is also indispensable for a powerful minister, but this muddy water is not easy to navigate However, for the sake of whether the next generation of the Lin family can firmly occupy the court, they have to wade into this muddy water.
