Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Why did Lin Jinyu burn the account book? He was afraid that if he took it back, he would become a target of public criticism and would not end well. He is a person who is very afraid of death. When he heard Xu Ziwen's words, he immediately became stupid.

His mouth was flattened, and he rushed over to hug Xu Ziwen's leg while crying, tears streaming down his face as if he didn't want money, "Sir, I know I'm wrong! It's my selfishness! I'm afraid that if I take it back, I'll offend all my relatives and nobles." , I can’t get along in the future, so I burned it! Sir..."

"Before it was burned, there was no backup!" Xu Ziwen only valued the account books, and asked with a sneer, "This kind of thing, burn it if you say it? Do you think others are fools?"

Lin Jinyu didn't care about wiping her tears, so she sold Wu You without hesitation, and sobbed, "Master Wu and I found it in the secret compartment of King Xining's study. At that time, Master Wu couldn't help but want to see it, so I persuaded him Don't look, afterward he went through it a little bit, and we put the book on the brazier and burned it. Mr. Wu has also seen Yue'an's secret method of making tea, and he also likes to drink tea. I want to take it back to please Mr. I discussed with Mr. Wu and asked him to copy a copy, and I gave the original manuscript of Yue An to my husband. Mr. Wu returned the manuscript to me after reading it briefly, and never borrowed it again. I think Mr. Wu should have a photographic memory. of."

"You didn't write down anything? Wu You is full of heart, but you shouldn't lose to him." Xu Ziwen looked at Lin Jinyu's pitiful crying face, raised his chin with a half-smile, and A trace of indifference and scrutiny.

Lin Jinyu closed her eyes and cried, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to come here. What are you doing with that? They want to rebel, and it's not my business. I just want to live in peace, you must send me this trip to offend others An errand. Who doesn’t want to be close, but you are selfless, and you insist on me sitting on the bench in the hot weather. Now you are blaming me, if I am not afraid, I can burn my books.” Lin Jinyu’s grievances can really be said three times For three days and nights, lying on Xu Ziwen's lap with snot and tears, Xu Ziwen slapped it away.Xu Ziwen frowned in distaste, and said helplessly, "A man wants the head and the life, are you a bit strong? I didn't say I want you to die!"

Hearing that her little life was saved, Lin Jinyu seemed to have taken a reassurance, her crying was a little quieter, she looked at Xu Ziwen pitifully, Xu Ziwen took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, and carefully wiped the tears off Lin Jinyu's face, looking Looking at Lin Jinyu's rabbit eyes, not as cold as before, he showed a smile, "It seems that you still have some sense of proportion, get up." Pulling Lin Jinyu to sit beside him, Xu Ziwen tilted his head and looked at Tu Jingchen, "Wu You Over there, you just know it in your heart, this account book is confidential, it’s best for you to know it alone, you can take this leader.”

"Who suggested burning the books?" Tu Jingchen asked suddenly.

"I am with Master Wu."

"Does Wenfei know?"

"At first, it was hidden from Wen Fei. Later, he thought that I was always getting together with Mr. Wu, and kept asking, so I told him."

That day, Tu Jingchen only had dinner and returned to the palace, and did not stay overnight.Lin Jinyu was worried while holding the lotus seed soup. The chef in Xu's house was always the best, but at this time he had no desire to eat desserts, but Xu Ziwen was content to bite the glutinous lotus seeds.

"Sir, I'll sleep with you today." Xu Ziwen looked up at him, Lin Jinyu hastily added, "Sister Lin is going back first, I told her to stay with Mr."

"Well, I remember you used to like fresh lotus seeds the most, isn't it to your liking?" Xu Ziwen pushed the bowl away and wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Sir, are you not angry?" Lin Jinyu asked cautiously, staring at Xu Ziwen's expression with rounded eyes.Xu Ziwen smiled heartily, and rubbed Lin Jinyu's head, "I'm scaring you, and I'm serious. You put everything on Wu You, and it has nothing to do with us. Take a good rest for a few days, and make up for the lost meat."

"Where's Ziyou? Sir, I have no choice but to. He shouldn't hate me to death." Lin Jinyu just wanted to talk to someone about his uneasiness, but he didn't want an answer at all.Xu Ziwen was a little amused, and leisurely walked to the side of the couch to lie down, rolled up a book of poems and held it in his hand, flipping through the chapters casually, "I guess he must be gnashing his teeth now to try to kill you."

"Sir, how do you know... Isn't that a recipe for making tea?" Lin Jinyu followed, grabbed a pillow and lay beside Xu Ziwen.

"In the past, Yue'an worked for Brother Yizhong, and I have a good relationship with Brother Yizhong. At that time, I was young and curious about everything. The method of hiding the code in this set of books was figured out by Yue'an and I. It's natural to see it. You can understand." Xu Ziwen said, "Yue An is a very cautious person, and he will never keep such an important account book in his own hands. If there is any mistake in this thing, it will cause an uproar, so we must Find a surefire way to hand it over to the imperial court. He has never dealt with you before, and he doesn't know you well, but he has to borrow your hands. I am good friends with Yue An, and you are mine Disciple, he must know a lot of news, he expected that you would use this secret method of tea making to curry favor with me, so he borrowed your hand to surrender to the imperial court."

Lin Jinyu muttered, "It's really treacherous."

"Well, I just found out today that you have a big opinion on me asking you to go to Ping'an Prefecture." Xu Ziwen glanced at Lin Jinyu lightly, and said unkindly, "You still burned the account book behind my back, and you are a bit narrow-minded. son."

Lin Jinyu put her head on her hands and muttered, "Sir, I know I can't blame you for this, but you should also remind me, don't say anything, the king of Xining still has some old grudges with you, I just stood there like a blind man. In front of the tiger, it is fortunate that I am lucky."

"Oh, sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. It's really dangerous, and King Rui will keep you. What are you worried about every day? I know Xining's temperament very well. If I'm not [-]% sure, I can send you guys to Ping'an Prefecture You are with Wenfei every day, so think about it, that is the prince, if it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, he must not be allowed to go." Xu Ziwen was so angry that he knocked Lin Jinyu's head open to see what was inside. Not pig brains.Lin Jinyu covered her head and lay on Xu Ziwen's body, "The emperor has eight princes? Anything too much is worthless. Sir, you are only my disciple. If something happens to me, who will take care of you in the future."

"Don't mess around with me. Did you learn a lesson for lying to me when you were young? You really don't remember to eat, but now you're full. Kneeling outside for two hours is a long memory." Xu Ziwen pushed Lin Jinyu away and smiled. Laughing, "Jingchen is the emperor, you dared to bully the emperor just now, you are really courageous. Think you will be fine if you howl twice to make a confession? Your little nose is very loud."

"Sir, your floor tiles are cold and hard. In two hours, you will have to kneel out of arthritis. For a lifetime, it will hurt in the wind and rain. From now on, how can you serve your husband, serve him tea, water, excrement, and urine? ah."

"What are you talking about! You bastard, it's getting more and more disgusting." Xu Ziwen slapped it a few times with a smile, Lin Jinyu twisted and hugged Xu Ziwen and kissed him, "Sir, do you miss me?"

"It's disgusting." Xu Ziwen pinched Lin Jinyu's little face, and couldn't help laughing, "Why are you still the same as when you were a child, and you're not ashamed."

Lin Jinyu told Xu Ziwen that he was still in good spirits until the third watch.This was his first time on a long-distance business trip. Xu Ziwen didn't know when he fell asleep as he muttered endlessly about the scenery, people, local ceremonies and specialties of Ping'an Prefecture, as well as the various officials he met in Ping'an Prefecture.The morning of the second day was all wrong.

Therefore, the master and apprentice did not get the news until noon of the second day: Concubine Xu died.
