The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

He was tall and big in his later life, if he didn't look at the inexplicable surprised expression on his face, he could be regarded as a well-behaved man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.Seeing Lin Yan looking back at this time, he was even more joyful, stepped forward quickly, and shouted, "Brother Lin, it's rare!"

The guards brought by Situ Lan quickly stepped forward to stop the person from behind, and looked back at Situ Lan.

Situ Lan raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Yan as a question.

Lin Yan raised his thin lips, the expression of disgust on his face was gone, and he smiled softly, "The prince doesn't recognize this one, this is the head of the royal merchant Xue's family, the name..."

Xue Pan was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Wenlong, Xue Wenlong."

He bowed to Situ Lan again and said, "Caomin has seen the prince." Although he had never dealt with Situ Lan before, Xue Pan still recognized this loyal and obedient prince who was famous in the capital.This bowing and saying hello is still very similar.

Situ Lan watched with cold eyes, Xue Pan saw Lin Yan just now, and the joy on his face was about to show.Hmph, the ambition of a wolf can be seen by anyone who sees it.

Xue Pan, he had heard that the descendants of the Xue family, the four major families in Jinling, are now the head of the Xue family.A few years ago, I went to Beijing and lived in Rongfu.Xue Pan is vulgar, ignorant and unscrupulous.He has a good friendship with a few dandies in the capital, and is often treated as being taken advantage of by others, and treats them with money.

With such a person, Situ Lan wouldn't be jealous, but he didn't have a good face either.He just said "um" coldly, "Don't delay, just go in." This sentence was addressed to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan nodded, and said softly to Xue Pan, "Brother Xue, is there something wrong? If there is nothing wrong..."

Ever since I got to know Lin Yan, I have never seen him treat me with such a nice voice, no longer the original indifference.Xue Pan was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks, he hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, Brother Lin can do what he wants, do what he wants..."

Lin Yan smiled slightly, and walked into the restaurant side by side with Situ Lan.The rest of Xue Pan smirked outside for a long time, suddenly remembered something, slapped his head, coughed and sighed.

Seeing him like this, the servant Xingnu dared to ask: "What's the matter, master?"

"Talking!" Xue Pan glared at him, "Hurry up, go back and talk."

In the Drunken Immortal Building, Lin Yan asked someone to deliver the new wine that had just been transported to Beijing, poured half of it into the wine cup and handed it to Situ Lan, and said with a smile: "This wine is brewed, I haven't tasted it yet. At least try it , see how it tastes."

Situ Lan held his wrist and looked at it, and saw that there was only a little wine in the thin celadon cup, and the color of the wine was bright red, like rouge.He took a sip from the cup and savored it carefully, "Wine? It's okay to drink, but it's not as mellow as the champion red, and not as refreshing as the bamboo leaf green. It does have a faint scent of flowers and fruits. It's not for men to drink."

Lin Yan withdrew his hand and smiled, "It wasn't originally brewed for a rough guy like you."

No matter which dynasty or generation, in central Beijing, women's money is the best.This batch of new wine is made of grapes, and added with the recipe that Lin Yan read from ancient books. It was originally made for the female relatives of nobles, officials, merchants, and merchants.

"Zifei, you have a good temper with that Xue." Situ Lan had nothing to say.

Lin Yan put down the wine cup and walked to the window.The window was open, and a bamboo curtain was hung on the window to block the view from the outside.Looking through the gap, Xue's shop across the street is open, and people are coming and going.

"You know the Xue family, why did you come to Beijing?"

Situ Lan shook his head.

"Because Xue Pan killed someone in Jinling."

Situ Lan frowned, seeing that Lin Yan didn't turn his head, his thin back and the bonsai of Yuzhu by the window complement each other, making him as handsome as a bamboo.The afterglow of the setting sun came in, showing a bit of brilliance.

Lin Yan turned around and sat down, "Don't be surprised. I'm not the only one who knows about this, the emperor also knows about it. You know my previous identity, so it's not difficult to find out about these things."

"Xue Pan killed people in Jinling, and Jia Yucun, the prefect of Yingtian prefect, settled the case under the pretense of helping the ghost. He only said that Xue Pan had been murdered by the wronged soul, and the case was closed hastily. Since Xue Pan is 'dead', he can't show his face in Jinling naturally, so he just I went to Beijing with my family."

After hearing this, Situ Lan frowned deeply, and muttered: "Brother Huang..."

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows as he drank his tea, "I don't believe you don't understand the tricks here."

Situ Lan naturally understood.The emperor has long wanted to deal with those old ministers who were disloyal and impure.

Now it seems that the emperor's line is long enough.The case of Xue Pan Jinling seems simple, but there must be the beginning and end of the Wang family and Jia family in it.When things happen in the future, although Xue Pan cannot escape death, the crime of covering up the murderer and interfering with local investigations is not a small crime.

But if this net is caught, it is just a small fish.Among the four major families in Jinling, apart from Wang Ziteng, the other three have gradually declined and are not in the limelight.The real big fish is the Zhen family from Jiangnan.

The Jiangnan Zhen family is the head of these old nobles, and it is also the natal family of the noble concubine who has been favored for many years.Small fights can't shake their foundation, they just need a chance.I'm afraid this opportunity has already been delivered to the emperor.

Situ Lan held Lin Yan's hand, "Zifei, remember, you are just a seventh-rank editor in the Imperial Academy. It's okay to give advice to the emperor secretly about some court affairs, but don't worry about other things. "

Lin Yan knew that he was worried that he would be involved in the false report of the flood in Jinling, but this, if the emperor wanted to, how could he avoid it?At this time, he didn't argue with him, and nodded obediently: "Of course I know, thank you for your trouble."

The two talked head to head for a long time, Situ Lan enjoyed this kind of intimacy very much.

The good times didn't last long, and the warmth of the two was interrupted by a voice outside, "Master, do you want to light the lamp?"Situ Lan looked at the dim light in the private room, and simply got up, "Shall we go too?"

Lin Yan nodded, and the two walked out of the restaurant together.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Situ Jun's expression was serious, and he threw the booklet of the prefect of Jinling into the Golden Palace, urgently ordering the Ministry of Households to allocate funds for disaster relief.

The emperor issued an edict again to review whether he had governed since he ascended the throne.Now that the emperor has made such a gesture, the officials in Beijing, China or Jinling naturally cannot lag behind.Within a month, the papers of pleading guilty were piled up like snowflakes in the imperial case.

Situ Jun didn't investigate the Jinling flood immediately, but just exposed it.When Situ Lan and Situ Jun talked about it in private, Situ Jun sneered and said: "If you want to take it, you must give it first. Anyway, I have waited for a long time, and I don't care about waiting for an extra year or a half."

The more you feed, the more enjoyable it will be to settle the bill in the future.

But he didn't mention how the emperor secretly sharpened his sword, but only said that in the Rongguo Mansion, there were some people who were happy and some people were angry.

The first two days coincided with the birthday of the old concubine of the Dong'an Palace, and the Rong Mansion and the Dong'an Palace were considered family friends.The large plaque in Rongxi Hall is the handwriting of the first Dong'an County King.

Now that the palace is still prominent, the Rongguo Mansion will naturally not miss this opportunity to make friends.Among the female family members, from the old lady Jia, to Mrs. Xing's Wang family, and the You family of Ningfu, they all went to Dong'an Palace to pay their respects to birthdays.Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen, the men outside, also have their own congratulatory gifts.

Concubine Dong'an laughed with Jiamu during the dinner: "It is said that the girls in your mansion are very tall, and you didn't say you took them out for a walk?"

Mother Jia leaned back and said, "These sisters are not used to seeing people, and they are all shy. They don't bring them out to make people laugh."

"This can be seen as self-effacement. Can the concubine's sister make people laugh?" Princess Dong'an clasped her hands on her knees, "The concubine met her once before, but she has nothing to praise when she comes back."

Princess Dong'an sat at the bottom, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right, the three girls in the old matriarch's house are all like delicate flowers."

There is a third son in the Dong'an Palace family, who was raised by the old concubine's side since he was a child, and rarely came out.This is known to most people in Beijing.It's just that except for a few people who know him close, no one knows what kind of person the third son is.Now when the old concubine and the concubine mentioned the girls from Jia's mansion, all the female family members present were not stupid, they could naturally hear the meaning behind what the old concubine and the princess said, and they all complimented the girls from the Rong mansion as a joke.

After hearing the words and understanding, Jia's mother was certainly pleasantly surprised, but Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were even more surprised.In the ecstasy, I only heard that Jiamu and the princess were humbled over there, but they didn't know which girl the old concubine and the princess liked, so they all pricked up their ears and listened.Even Youshi also put down his chopsticks from another table.

Xu Shi felt that there were too many people at the banquet and it was difficult to talk, so the princess kept her words under wraps.Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were thinking about each other, so she couldn't help showing more submissiveness and speaking more flatteringly.Youshi on the other side sat a little farther away and couldn't talk to each other, but he also put his mind on that side, and he was a little absent-minded when greeting the people at the same table.

Concubine Dong'an had a warm face, but looked at the behavior of the younger daughters-in-law of the Rong Mansion with cold eyes, and she really didn't like it.I just pondered for a while, my grandson is like that, so I can't be too picky.After entering the door anyway, just be more restrained.

The plan in her heart was made up, and when the banquet was over, Jia Mu said that she was old and got up to leave.When the princess saw off the guests, she nodded slightly to her.

The princess personally took Jia Mu's hand and sent it out, but Jia Mu didn't dare to say it.The concubine smiled and said: "It's well deserved, there is one more thing I asked the old Lord Feng for."

Xing Wangyou and the three who followed immediately cheered up and listened. Sure enough, the princess said: "There is a third boy in our family, he is an honest boy. It's just that some of them are not very clever, and their thoughts are simple. His brothers and sisters all like him Yes. I have been raised by the concubine since I was a child, and I have been spoiled by it. The concubine wants to find someone who is two years older in marriage. I look at the second girl in the house, she is a rare good-natured girl. So I have to be cheeky I begged from Lao Feng Jun, I wonder if Lao Feng Jun would be willing to do so?"

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing showed brilliant expressions on their faces.

Jia's mother was overjoyed and said with a smile, "it's the second girl's blessing to be favored by the concubine and the princess."

"In this case, I invited someone to go, pick a good day, and go to Lao Fengjun's mansion to propose marriage?"

Mother Jia looked back at Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Xing hurriedly bowed and smiled, "It's all up to the old lady to decide."

The concubine put her hands together and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is indeed a cheerful person."

Now that it has been agreed, Jia Mu and others will not delay any longer, and they all get on the car and go home happily.
