The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

After all, they were from the Rongguo Mansion. Although Lin Ruhai was dissatisfied with their attitude towards Daiyu in the past few years, the two families did not openly fight against each other, and Daiyu only came back from there not long ago, so it didn't take long for them to hang out. , only to see you the next day.Naturally, I heard Lai Da and Zhou Rui talk about Yuan Chun's concubine.

Lin Yan followed Lin Ruhai, looked at the expressions of the two people, and although he spoke respectfully, his face was full of color.I couldn't help sneering in my heart, at this moment, it looks like the icing on the cake, but in the future, it will be ruined and snowed, and everything will be lost.

After saying a few polite words, Lin Ruhai sent the two of them out.Lin Yan saw him sitting there silently, did not speak, just stood quietly behind.

After a long time, Lin Ruhai let out a long breath, and said a little tiredly, "Yan'er."

"Father?"

"In the future, if we go back to the capital, we should stay a little farther away from Rong Mansion."

Lin Yan smiled. Although his father didn't see clearly about Daiyu back then, he was a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, so he saw it very accurately.What made Yuan Chun, who had been in the palace for several years, become a virtuous concubine in Rongfu?Not to mention holy favors, the emperors of this dynasty, and the concubines in the palace have never been promoted in this way.

Didn't hear Lin Yan's answer, Lin Ruhai turned his head slightly, and explained: "I just heard what Lai Da said just now, about Fengzao Palace Shangshu, and the title of Xiande Concubine. Since ancient times, there have also been women in the inner court. It's just that , since so many dynasties, it has been nothing more than a false title. The ancient poem "today is the oldest in the palace, and everyone bestows the title of Shangshu" is what it means. Since the previous dynasty, there has not even been such a false title. Now, it is said that the eldest girl was named Fengzao Palace Shangshu first, and then Xiande Concubine. I thought, this name is not quite right. We and Rongfu are related by marriage, although you My mother has gone, but because of your sister's relationship these past few years, she has not been alienated. Now it seems that it is better to stay far away."

Lin Yan thought for a while and asked, "Father said that, but that person can't tolerate..."

Lin Ruhai waved his hand, and Lin Yan closed his mouth.

The first emperor had been in power for several decades, and he had not many sons. He was born a prince early, but was deposed because of a crime.The current emperor is his third son, and he was not favored in the past.It's just that he is good at judging the situation and keeping a low profile. When several brothers showed their ambitions to fight for the throne, and they fought openly and secretly to stir up chaos in the court, he was calm and calm, and he had fulfilled the role of father, son, filial brother, friend and brother. effort.It was precisely because of this that when the first emperor was disheartened, he felt deeply that he was pure filial piety, and knew that he was also capable of taking responsibility, so he resolutely abdicated and became a supreme emperor who enjoyed the honor.

However, although the former emperor had abdicated, his influence on the court still existed.If Xu Shi didn't sit in that seat, he gradually forgot all the struggles of his sons for power and position, and gradually became dissatisfied with the emperor's son's behavior of suppressing his brothers in many ways in the court hall, and began to protect those few.

The emperor has only been on the throne for two or three years, the Supreme Emperor is staring at him, and a few brothers below are watching him covetously, and there are quite a few hereditary veterans who rely on the old to sell the old, and now I'm afraid I feel aggrieved.It's just that according to Lin Ruhai, the current emperor has been very patient since he was a prince, and now the Supreme Emperor is still tough, just for the word "filial piety", it will not be the same today.It's just that the Supreme Emperor is getting older after all, so it's hard to say what will happen after that.

"Yan'er, remember, as long as you are a minister, you must not get involved in power disputes. I will not say anything about Rongfu. Just remember, I will not be here in the future. When you go back to Beijing to continue your studies, you will be with Yu'er." Having said that, I can no longer live in the Rong Mansion. I can just walk around as ordinary relatives."

Lin Yan complied, thinking in his heart that in the future, this villain might be determined for himself.

Two days later, Lai Da and Zhou Rui's two families were about to leave for Beijing.Naturally, the Lin Mansion has a congratulatory gift for concubine Yuanchun, and Daiyu herself has prepared some Yangzhou exquisite gadgets, hairpins, hairpin rings and other things in novel styles, and divided them up one by one. Give it to everyone Lai and take it back, Quan Zuo is a gift to the Sanchun sisters and Baoyu.

Zicuckoo stood in front of the smoked cage, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, and was bending over to cut a bolt of red gold satin.Hearing the ringing bell, he raised his head and looked uncontrollably at the Western Gold Ship placed on the Shijin Pavilion.

Xueyan came out from the back room, looked at her blankly, and said in surprise: "What's wrong with my sister? The girl said that this beanie is to honor the old lady, so she has to be kicked out. Why is my sister so dazed?"

Zijuan's face flushed, she lowered her head to pick up the scissors and cut it, hiding her mouth and said: "Why was it in a daze? I didn't hear the chiming clock strike a few times, so I just took a look. What is the girl doing?"

Xue Yan pouted into the room, and said: "I was reading a book, and I saw some good prescriptions for nourishing the body, and I want to order the cook to do it."

After all, he turned around and went out.Zijuan stared blankly at the slightly shaking curtain, thought for a while, and finally put down the scissors and went into the back room.

Daiyu looked up to see her coming in, and said in surprise, "It's finished so soon?"

"En." Zijuan picked up the teacup and poured the tea to Daiyu, hesitating for a moment and said, "Miss, the gifts for the girls and Baoyu are all ready here, isn't it? Write a letter to the past, so that the old ladies and girls can rest assured?"

Daiyu had already brought the tea to her mouth, but she put it down again after hearing this, and looked at Zijuan quietly for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Zijuan, you are crazy too. Being with my father and brother, the old lady should be at ease. It's not that she went elsewhere, what you said is funny."

Zijuan bit her lips, remembering that day when she sent Lai everyone out, she dragged herself to say what she said, and hesitated several times in her heart, not knowing whether she should say it or not.She faintly noticed that now that the girl was back home, something seemed to have changed, but she couldn't tell.

"Zicuckoo, do you want to... go back with Aunt Lai and the others?"

Zijuan was startled, and hurriedly raised her head to look at Daiyu, "Girl, why did you mention this? I am the old lady who gave her orders, and I belong to her. Where is the girl, I should be there. Are you asking me this? Could it be that I don’t serve you well? I, I..."

Daiyu saw that her face was flushed with anxiety, and there was a faint cry in her voice, and she regretted that she could stop talking, and hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant. I was just thinking, your whole family is in Beijing, if you Staying here, I don't know when you can see them again. I know the pain of being separated from my parents and relatives, if you really want to go back, I won't blame you."

"Girl...I won't go back." Zijuan choked up.

Daiyu had no choice but to hand her the handkerchief.

The master and the servant were talking, when the snow geese outside shouted: "Miss, the uncle is here."

After hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly got up and went out to meet her.After all, Lin Yan is not Daiyu's real brother, so he doesn't come to her yard on weekdays.

Lin Yan followed his two maidservants, Bi Luo Cuiran, and saw Daiyu coming out, wearing only homely clothes, not a cloak or anything like that, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Your sister should also add some clothes, It's still cold now."

Daiyu let him in, then smiled and said, "It's just a kick in and out of the door, how can it really be what brother said?"

With that said, he personally poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Lin Yan.

Lin Yan shook his head and smiled, "In two days, the visitors from Rongfu will go back. I thought my sister would also have to prepare a return gift here. We have a lot of things in the treasury, but I'm a careless person, and I don't care. I know exactly what my sister needs. I simply brought Curry’s brochure to my sister, and my sister chooses something by herself.”

Daiyu hurriedly said, "I've prepared something." Then she asked Xueyan to fetch the things.

Lin Yan hurriedly stopped, and then smiled at Daiyu: "My sister prepared it. Naturally, it's a return gift among the girls. It's just that they came to the house specially for my sister's birthday, and they were sent by the elders, so naturally they should." Prepare some gifts to honor those elders."

After hearing this, Daiyu naturally thought of these things herself, but in the past few years, she was used to not mentioning anything, so she didn't talk about it, and she didn't have the nerve to talk to her father and brother.Now her elder brother said it for herself first, so that she felt that this was truly her own home.Even if it is a little thing, someone can think for him; no matter what he uses, he is also confident.

The two brothers and sisters got together, looked at the gift list from Rongfu, and looked at the brochure Lin Yan brought, and selected a few things without much effort.

Lin Yan always looked at Daiyu with a little sadness on his brows, knowing that on the one hand, she was worried about Lin Ruhai's health, and on the other hand, she was really worried about the people in Beijing.After thinking about it, he said with a smile, "It was winter when my sister came back. Now that the weather is getting warmer, how about I accompany my sister to the temple to pray for blessings and offer incense on my sister's birthday in a few days?"

Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Can I go?"

"Why not? When the time comes, I'll order someone to talk about it in advance, and I'll just bring more people with ideas when I go."

After hearing this, Daiyu threw away all her troubles and melancholy, wishing she could go out immediately.
