The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

Situ Jun was sitting in the Hall of Qinzheng, and as soon as he put down the imperial brush in his hand, Gao Shoujing, who was standing beside him, trembled in his heart.

"Situ Lan!" Situ Jun said angrily, "It's been half a day, why are you just sitting there in a daze? I called you here to show you these brochures. What are you doing?"

Situ Lan kept flipping through the memorial in his hand, and said lazily, "Brother Emperor, isn't there a cabinet? There are all notes on the draft, so what else do you want me to see?"

Seeing that Situ Jun was about to turn his back on him, Situ Lan hurriedly put on a smiling face, "Actually, tell me, those boys of yours are pretty much the same. Use it if you need it."

Situ Jun frowned, his own son?

"No, I'm still young, and none of them have any idea of ​​calmness."

Situ Lan sighed, "It's no wonder the emperor's nephews, brother, don't always compare them to yourself. The eldest is only twelve or thirteen, let alone the younger ones. What have they experienced? Growing up being held in high esteem, there is some impetuosity."

Situ Jun was silent, but his mind was thinking.As the sons grew up, their aptitudes varied, and their scheming varied.Situ Jun was also puzzled. Normally, he might not have a good temperament, but he could be regarded as stable?At least, that's how it is in front of people.But except for the eldest son born by the empress and the second son born by Concubine Shu, the remaining few are more inconspicuous than the other.This made Situ Jun very depressed.

Children are debts.Situ Jun came to such a conclusion. Looking at Situ Lan, remembering that the Empress Dowager started to find trouble again two days ago, he deliberately sighed, threw the folder in his hand on the Golden Dragon Royal Case, and said: "Don't talk about me, you What are you going to do? The former son and father also said that you have no heirs yet, and asked me to give you two side concubines. If it’s not possible, concubines are fine, and I am determined to let you have children.”

Situ Lan leaned back, "Don't, brother, don't listen to your father. There are enough people in my house, and I can't afford to support any more."

"It's not a problem that you don't have any heirs. I know you are proud of yourself, but Lin Yan always wants to marry a wife? Do you want to leave an heir for the Lin family? What do you do?"

Yesterday Lin Yan was parading around the streets wearing a bright red brocade robe, with a splendid demeanor.Situ Lan had thought about it for dozens of times, and at this moment, it inevitably surfaced again in his heart.Thinking that Lin Yan will dress up like this when he gets married in the future, it is very unpleasant.

Knowing that what the emperor said is also reasonable, who in the world doesn't think so?This court can't help being masculine, but I have never seen anyone who would not marry a wife or have children just because of this.The emperor and Shui Rong were two in the past, one was the emperor's son, and the other was the son of the royal family. Isn't the status high enough?Didn't they all marry the princess honestly?

Lin Yan means that he is the only elder in the family, if there are close relatives and elders, how can he not marry today?

"Brother Huang, won't you feel uncomfortable when you get married that day?" Situ Lan looked at the roof of Qinzheng Hall and asked leisurely.

Situ Jun was startled, then smiled wryly.Where can I not feel uncomfortable?It was as if a ball of cotton was stuck in my heart, and I couldn't breathe.It happened that there was a needle in the cotton, which caused him pain, but only he knew it.

Situ Lan looked at the expression on his imperial brother's face, and curled her lips inwardly - didn't she say that she was tough?Yin said: "I have told my father a long time ago, if I don't want to see him, what does it matter if I have any children? When I was young, he didn't even look at me, and I would pay the gods to see him twice throughout the year. It’s not a good feeling in my heart! It’s better not to have a son than to ignore it.”

Look at the Palace of Qinzheng, apart from Gao Shoujing, there are four young eunuchs standing far away serving him.Knowing that being able to work here must be the emperor's trust, Situ Lan simply smiled and said: "Actually, the father is also unreasonable, anyway, you have a lot of sons. In the future, if you pick up the honest boss, you will be the one under my name." Got it?"

Situ Lan had thought about this idea for a long time, in order to gag the emperor's mouth.His status is not low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a high position and weight.He grew up with the emperor's brother, and he supported him from the beginning to the end when the emperor was fighting for the position. Now the relationship is still there, and the two brothers can talk to each other behind closed doors as before.What about the future?No one can tell what will happen in decades of kung fu.Adopting the emperor's brother's son into his own name, on the one hand, it can be regarded as a concern of the Supreme Emperor, and on the other hand, it also saves his own affairs.Three times...Seeing that the emperor really squinted his eyes, Situ Lan took a sip of tea from the teacup in front of him and lowered his eyelids.

But Lin Yan was busy for a few days and had a little leisure, so he told Daiyu that he was going to Xishan Academy to visit Zhao Zi.

Zhao Zi got his letter a long time ago, and has already prepared tea and waited.The reputation of Xishan Academy has always been very high. Of course, it is related to the fact that it was built under the instruction of the Taizu of this dynasty, but more importantly, there must be high school students in every subject.This Ke Linyan is Tanhua, and he is also the one with the highest ranking among all the candidates in Xishan Academy.

"Come here and try this tea."

Zhao Zi was a dignified person, even though there were only two people in the study, sitting in a relaxed posture, there was nothing wrong with him.

Lin Yan picked up the doucai cover cup in front of him, but saw that the tea color was emerald green like emeralds, and the soup was bright in color, and when he took a sip, it was slightly bitter.

"Are you still used to it?" Zhao Zi put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the expression on Lin Yan's face, and asked with a smile.

Isn't this taste the Kuding of later generations?I remember that what Zhao Zi likes to drink is cloud and mist, when did he change his taste?

"The taste of this tea is not very good. What's rare is that it can dissipate wind and heat and clear the head. Although the taste is bitter, the aftertaste is mellow and sweet." Zhao Zi reached out to grab the teapot, but Lin Yan was already a step ahead, got up and poured it for him respectfully Tea.

"Although I have only been in the academy for many years, I still know a little bit about people's hearts. The affairs of the court are unusual. You are the son of Lord Hai, and you have a family background; you are young and high school, and you have learned; your sister was married by the emperor himself. , you have become an in-law with the son of the eldest princess. From the looks of it these days, his future is boundless. It is inevitable that someone will win over or flatter you. I have seen your palace examination strategy and theory when you made the list, and there is something to say The words are sharp. Now that the emperor is young, it is certain that such an article will suit the emperor's eyes. However, I am afraid that there will be people who are jealous of the virtuous and capable. You have studied with me for many years, and our two families have such a relationship now. I will only ask you once: the emperor is the most important thing in everything."

Lin Yan stood respectfully and listened, bowed and said, "Students should remember the teacher's teachings in their hearts."

Zhao Zi waved his hands and said with a smile: "I watched you grow up, so I still have a little understanding of your temperament. Although you are young, you are rare and steady."

There was a pause, as if there was something to say, but he didn't say anything after all.Lin Yan was very thoughtful, so he didn't ask any more questions, just smiled and said: "My sister made a set of clothes for the teacher and the teacher's wife at home, and the teacher's wife has already sent them over. Knowing that I came to see the teacher, she asked me to bring them. Come."

Zhao Zi smiled and said, "Yu'er is a careful child. Her sister didn't even think about this. You go back and speak for me, and trouble her. It's time, just prepare your own things. Since you have taken the names of father and daughter You are not an outsider, so there is no need to be like this."

"It's just my sister's filial piety."

The teacher and the student talked for a long time before Lin Yan left.Zhao Zi ordered a servant to send him outside the gate of the academy.

Now that the weather is warm, Lin Yan came on horseback with only two servants.Seeing him coming out, Ping An led the horse over and said in a low voice: "The prince is waiting for the uncle not far ahead."

Lin Yan got on his horse after hearing this, and saw the verdant vegetation on both sides of the path, dotted with many wild flowers of various colors.Moreover, the birds in the forest return to their nests, their wings flapping, and their chirping sounds.I don't know where the stream is flowing, and the scenery is a bit wild.

Lin Yan didn't hit the horse and run fast, but just walked forward slowly.But after turning a corner, I saw a bay.The clear water shone in the afterglow of the setting sun, the shore was covered with grass, and occasionally a few butterflies flitted by, making it very peaceful.

Situ Lan stood on the shore with his hands behind his back, and several guards were waiting in the distance holding their horses.Hearing the sound of horseshoes approaching slowly, Situ Lan turned around and saw that it was Lin Yan, with a huge smile on his face.

Lin Yan got off the horse and squinted at Situ Lan, "What were you thinking just now?" The moment Situ Lan turned his head just now, Lin Yan clearly saw the expression on his face. , not joy, but more like a loss.

"What are you thinking about?" Situ Lan stretched out his hand to pick off a leaf that stuck to Lin Yan's shoulder at some time, "Of course it's because of thinking about Zifei, why haven't you come yet?"

The deliberately lowered voice was slightly teasing, but it sounded like a beating to Lin Yan.Leaning at Situ Lan, Lin Yan turned his head slightly, but there was a slight smile on his lips.

Because of Lin Yanchunwei, the two of them hadn't been together for a long time, and they were both a little embarrassed at this moment.Situ Lan coughed and said, "I'll send someone over to the other courtyard to get ready. Zifei, are you going back to the city today?"

Lin Yan looked at him, and Situ Lan stood facing west, his big peach eyes reflected the gorgeous sunset glow in the sky, shining brightly.The affectionate style in the eyes is even more touching.

He smiled and said nothing, but his face turned red.

Situ Lan was overjoyed, and with a whistle, the guards in the distance let go of the horse's reins.The horse was very human, and it ran over with its hooves stepping on the water.

The two of them didn't speak, they got on their horses and went to the other courtyard.Ping An and Jixiang looked at each other, and Ping An said, "Go back and deliver the letter."

Ji Xiang rolled his eyes, "It's a long way!" But he didn't dare to delay, for if he couldn't get in after closing the city gate, he would suffer a crime.

It's almost May, and the weather is getting hotter.Daiyu remembered that her elder brother and Lin Ruo were both very afraid of the heat, so she asked someone to make some new summer clothes for them.And because I have to embroider my own dowry, I am busy every day.Sometimes I think about when I lived in Rongfu, I never asked these questions.Or reading poems and writing, or talking and laughing with the Sanchun sisters in front of the old lady, ignoring red and white things, and not asking about yellow and white things.

Looking back now, Daiyu only feels that she was too naive back then.In the house of the grandmother of the first relative, the slaves said that he was living in the house. In the final analysis, it was just because he didn't have a brother to rely on.Ever since his father passed away, he had also felt uneasy, not knowing how his brother would treat him.How is it now?My elder brother is a good elder brother, who loves and pampers me like my own sister.Fearing that he didn't know family affairs in Rongfu, he spent a lot of effort to invite the mothers in the palace to teach him; just because he was wronged, he angrily reprimanded Shi Xiangyun and satirized Xue Baochai. on the old lady.

I still remember the decree from the palace that day, announcing myself and my brother to enter the palace.It was not without fear along the way.Whether it's an old lady or a noble concubine in the palace, if you report this to the Empress Dowager, have you ever thought that your reputation will be damaged by it?No.Even if they were blood relatives like this, they naturally wouldn't think of their elder brother.

In the past, I was confused...

Daiyu sits in front of the Qian screen window, with an embroidery frame in front of her, on which are embroidered mandarin ducks playing in the water, emerald green lotus leaves, pink lotus flowers, and pearls the size of rice grains strung on silver threads, embroidered into flowers and leaves. on the dew.The colors are bright and the embroidery is exquisite.

After embroidering for a long time, Daiyu raised her head and shook her neck gently.A budgerigar was locked in a large gilt birdcage hanging on the veranda, jumping up and down to drink water and eat rice.Lin Ruo bought this when she went out, and said it was "to honor my aunt".The gauze curtain hanging at the door and the crystal curtain in the room were all found by my brother. He said that there were roses and vines planted inside and outside the walls of the yard. From now on, the frame is full of roses, and the courtyard is full of fragrance."

Just as she was lost in thought, Xueyan came over with a lacquered tray with bright red lychees in a lotus leaf-shaped emerald dish.

"Girl, this is just sent by the Hou's mansion. My uncle said that it was only rewarded by the palace, and I told the girl to try something new."

The engagement between Yunning and Daiyu was made early, and everyone in the whole family knows that the girl will leave the court only this year.Yun Ning often came to Lin's mansion to have a drink with Lin Yan, or give advice to Lin Ruo. Although it seemed that he was not easy to get close to, he actually treated people very well.Therefore, when Yunning is mentioned in Manfu, it is actually called uncle.

Daiyu glared at Xueyan and stood up.Hong Ling in the room hurriedly called a little girl to bring water to wash Daiyu's hands, and then wiped it with a dry towel, just as Daiyu picked up a fruit.

Xu Shi had just soaked in water, and the top of the fruit was very moist and fresh.Tasted it, it was really sweet.

"Send some fruit to brother and Ruo'er. It's cold to eat now, they all like to eat it."

Daiyu only tasted two or three fruits and then stopped eating, wiped her hands and gave instructions.

Xueyan agreed, and when she was about to leave, a woman from outside came in and said, "Master went to the academy today, and just sent the boy back to say that he might not be able to return to the city at night, so I told the girl not to worry about it."

Daiyu nodded, "Since my brother won't come back, divide half of the fruits and put them in the ice cellar. I'll eat them when I come back tomorrow. I'll send them to Ruoer now."

Just as the assignment was being made, Chen Sheng's family quickly stepped into the yard and said with a smile, "Hello, girl!"

Daiyu liked the neatness of the daughter-in-law in charge very much, she nodded and smiled and said, "Why did you come in now? Is there something wrong?"

Chen Sheng's family replied: "Just about to go back to the girl, we have all the summer clothes for the uncle, aunt, and brother Ruo in our mansion, and we will prepare the other ones for these people in the mansion as usual. I want to ask the girl, but Just let it go?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "What's the big deal? It's worth my sister-in-law to come in personally? Since it's over, let's go. I see that this year is actually hotter than previous years."

Chen Sheng's family said again: "One more thing. When I came in just now, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion just sent someone to deliver something to the girl. The housekeeper Lin asked me to ask the girl, do you still want to see someone?"

Daiyu listened to Nahan, what did she send now?
