Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Lin Jinyu was fortunate to see the ancient arms trade.

That box of short guns with a copper-yellow luster, any man would drool, Lin Jinyu said good things for half an hour, and he kept grinding until midnight, and he wouldn't leave if he didn't give it.

Lin Jinyu left happily, while Tu Jingchen closed the door tightly, pretending to be nonchalant and asked, "Is this the pirate leader?"

"I changed my career a long time ago. What is the future of pirates? They are serious businessmen now, and they are awarded titles by the king. My business at sea is very good with Xiao En. This time, it is also thanks to his help, and the price is not expensive. Let Wu worry tomorrow Come here, together with those blueprints and moulds, tell the Ministry of Industry to quickly imitate them, and don't spend such unreasonable money next time." Xu Ziwen rubbed his brows wearily, and went to bed to rest.

Tu Jingchen slept outside the bed, turned off the light with a snap of his fingers, put his arms around Xu Ziwen's waist, and said softly, "See if he still has some meaning for you?"

"There are a lot of people who are interested in me." Xu Ziwen rested his pillow on Tu Jingchen's arm, "But it's well known that I have bad eyesight, and I hanged myself on a tree? Don't play that jealous trick when you're old. It's a trick."

Tu Jingchen said softly, "If I can't trust you, who am I? Just seeing the look in that guy's eyes makes me feel uncomfortable, send him away quickly, a robber, is he still a guest of honor?"

"Xiao En is not a robber now! The sages say that knowing your mistakes can make you better." Xu Ziwen pinched a piece of tender meat on Tu Jingchen's waist with two fingers, and gnashed his teeth to pull it off. Tu Jingchen let out a groan, and Xu Ziwen He half raised his body and said, "If you say these sour words again, I will move to Xiao En's yard now. You don't need to face forward, you don't need to face backward, you are too snobby."

Tu Jingchen said with a smile, "Aren't I worried about fading and love to go?" Turning around, he pressed the person under him, and kept groping and kneading Xu Ziwen's waist with his hands...

"I'm a little tired today."

"Hey, you don't need to work hard, you can just lie down."

……

Tu Jingchen is a very careful person, the wolf has already come, and he is still watching... Although the possibility of Xu Ziwen changing his mind is very small, he still has to take precautions before it happens.

When the cabinet dispersed, Tu Jingchen left Lin Jinyu alone.

"Sit down." The seat was given first, and when Lin Jinyu's butt just touched the edge of the embroidered stool, Tu Jingchen then offered tea, shook his hand, and said kindly, "No need to thank you, you are not an outsider. Speaking of which, I am also Watching you grow up."

Lin Jinyu hurriedly said, "Yes."

"Try it. I know you like to eat dim sum in the palace. I ordered them to make it just now. It has fresh patterns and fresh taste. It is said to be Huaiyang style. You grew up there, see if it suits you. Taste." Tu Jingchen smiled with a gentleness that he had never had before.

Tu Jingchen laughed so hard that Lin Jinyu's heart trembled, and he ate a few pieces with tea. Tu Jingchen asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Sweet and delicious, the taste is very good."

"Gao Song, order the imperial dining room to pack a box for Jinyu to take back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"Well, it seems that since you know who I am, you have not treated me as affectionately as before." Tu Jingchen sighed and looked at Lin Jinyu, "However, I still treat you as before. You married my aunt's granddaughter, who is also my aunt. cousin, grandson and son-in-law."

Lin Jinyu's blush was really caused by this kind of royal status, and the next sentence of Tu Jingchen almost choked Lin Jinyu to death, "Your great-great-grandmother, Princess Chonghua, is the direct sister of Emperor Taizu, please tell me to show your respect." Uncle also made it."

Lin Jinyu choked in her throat with a mouthful of snacks, unable to get up or down, she just rolled her eyes.Gao Song took a few steps to give Lin Jinyu a tap on his back to feed him tea, Lin Jinyu finally swallowed the snack in his throat, stood up and said, "The emperor has something to tell me? I will definitely go through fire and water." The emperor rushed to climb up with him Relatives, it really makes Lin Jinyu feel anxious, this is a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken, it must be a bad thing.

"Okay, it's not so serious, why would I be willing to go through fire and water for you?" Tu Jingchen said softly, "Only this matter, I can only tell you about it." Sighing, waving his hand, Gao Song Zhiqu disappeared Yes, Tu Jingchen said, "I have nothing to be proud of in my life. The most fortunate thing is to get Rui Zhuo's love. I know that you are a kind child with a tough mouth and a soft heart. Jinyu, that Xiao En, Help me pay attention, huh?"

Lin Jinyu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, don't you trust Mr.? Do you think Mr. will change his mind?"

"I still have this confidence." Tu Jingchen's face sank, "I also know that Xiao En is very useful, but seeing his eyes staring at Rui Zhuo is not very comfortable, help me pay more attention to him, what's the matter?" Remind me of something, huh?"

Lin Jinyu jumped up from the stool in fright, "The emperor asked me to do double-sided elaboration, and I will definitely be upset if I let the sir know. He, he, sir..."

"How can you call it meticulous work? You are doing this out of filial piety, to make the relationship between me and Rui Zhuo more harmonious and stable, isn't it? I trust Rui Zhuo, but those barbarians don't know how to be polite. , in case of stalking, Rui Zhuo is a very affectionate person, why not make him difficult?" Tu Jingchen stared at Lin Jinyu's eyes, Lin Jinyu felt very stressed, didn't say anything, Tu Jingchen said , "I will never let that kind of scene happen, because I don't want to embarrass Rui Zhuo with any strong means, so you have to help me keep an eye on Xiao En."

Lin Jinyu asked Hou Tu Jingchen's bastard grandmother in his heart, and said reluctantly, "Basically, the emperor will go to the husband's place at noon. If I don't come to work, the husband will be suspicious, right?"

"I will tell Rui Zhuo that you are old anyway, and there is no harm in getting in touch with Xiao En. There is not only a bright side in this world, and all kinds of people are useful." Tu Jingchen said, "Don't let me down. ,Um?"

Could it be that he really wanted to be Tu Jingchen's eyeliner, Xu Ziwen would definitely be sad if he found out, Lin Jinyu thought for a while and said, "Actually, I have an idea, I don't know if it will work or not? Just tell the emperor and don't blame the minister."

"Go ahead."

"I feel that the emperor is worrying too much. My husband said that he doesn't like that Xiao En. They haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right?"

"I used to meet each other at Ping An Harbor every year. I haven't seen you for four years since I came to Kyoto, so I just came to see you. If it was more than ten years, would I still worry about this?"

"I feel that since I'm a collaborator with Xiao En, I should treat him better." Lin Jinyu lowered his eyes and said, "The emperor might as well give him a few concubines and servants for him to enjoy, sir, he will never like people who are promiscuous. The emperor also said that foreigners are very open, Xiao En will not refuse."

Tu Jingchen asked with some uncertainty, "Will he accept?"

"Foreigners are not as infatuated as the emperor. They are not ascetic, and they will not guard themselves like jade for anyone. As long as they look good, have a good figure, and work well in bed, who would pretend to be a monk?"

"Finally I didn't hurt you in vain, go." Tu Jingchen's worries were gone, and he called Gao Song, "Bring some snacks to Jinyu."

Carrying a box of snacks, Lin Jinyu couldn't help feeling that Gao Song's ability to appear and disappear was as good as Uncle Baozi's.

===========

It was after noon that Lin Jinyu arrived home, Xu Yulin had already had lunch with the guests, and it turned out that Tanchun had come.

Tanchun is much more emaciated than before. She was newly married, and something happened to her mother's family, so her in-law's attitude became ambiguous. Tanchun's situation is a bit difficult. It was only yesterday that she got a letter to be passed on to the king of Beijing for trial. Allow her to come to Lin's house to inquire about news.

"The third sister is here." Lin Jinyu was the same age as Tanchun, a few months younger, and said with a smile, "It's just a matter of trying some dim sum, which was rewarded by the emperor, and it tastes good."

Xu Yulin smiled and said, "It's time for dinner, I thought the uncle would not come back because of something, so my third sister and I used it first, without waiting for the uncle. Has the uncle eaten yet?"

"No." Lin Jinyu went to the inner room first to change clothes.

"Torreya, tell the kitchen to prepare a few side dishes that my uncle likes to eat, don't be greasy, oh, there are live shrimps today, let's serve boiled shrimp," Xu Yulin asked loudly, "Is there any dish that my uncle wants to eat?"

"Look at it. After dinner, my third sister and I will go to the garden to visit the old lady, and take out all the things you want to give."

Tears welled up in Tanchun's eyes. Tanchun knew that Lin Jinyu was not on good terms with the Jia family, so this time he also came to the door with a cheeky face.Even if her in-law's family refused, she was reprimanded by her mother-in-law when she mentioned it briefly. She thought that Lin Jinyu would politely refuse, but she didn't expect that even the things were prepared.Xu Yulin persuaded, "Now that the matter has come to this point, the emperor is benevolent, the ancestors and sister-in-law are safe, and the female relatives have not been imprisoned. It is a great blessing. The third sister is also relieved. When you are safe in the future, reorganize the family business. .”

Tanchun knew that her natal family was in ruins, and her heart was twisted these days, but it was not good to mourn in other people's homes, so she suppressed tears and said, "What my sister said is, I just thought of the old lady's age. , I have to suffer this kind of suffering for my children and grandchildren, so I can't help being sad."

Lin Jinyu changed into a homely jade blue muslin robe and came out, leaned on the couch of the host and sat casually. Lu'er served tea, took two sips, and said, "I went to see it in the prison yesterday. Uncles, I sent some bedding and food, the description is not very good, not bad, at least it is safe. Now the king of Beijing is presiding over the trial, and the third sister also knows that the family has friendship with the king of Beijing, and justice is indispensable."

Tanchun said softly, "Thank you, cousin."

"I didn't do much, thanks to Mr. Wang's hard work." Lin Jinyu looked at Tanchun's sharp and thin cheeks, and said to Xu Yulin, "Pick up a copy of the supplements at home and bring them to the third sister." Seeing that Tanchun wanted to decline, He raised his hand and said, "Third sister, you don't need to be polite, your body is important. Don't worry too much, how are you doing at your in-law's house? Seeing that third sister is thinner than before."

"It's not bad." Tanchun forced a smile, "Being someone else's wife is definitely different from being a girl. It's okay, it will get better gradually."

The torreya brought snacks, Xu Yulin smiled and said, "Third sister, try it, the materials in the palace are more refined. The uncle should make up for it first."

"I ate a lot in the palace." Lin Jinyu rested her arms on the armrest of the couch, full of distress, "It seems that the news that I like to eat dim sum in the palace has spread. Oh, it's quite embarrassing."

Xu Yulin smiled and said, "Well, maybe it is, I went to the palace several times to greet the queen, and the empress would reward me with snacks to bring back. It seems that there is an allusion?"

"No," Lin Jinyu got up and said, "I'm going to eat, you take it easy."

Tanchun saw that their husband and wife were in perfect harmony, and thought of her husband's two concubines, his heart was even more desolate.

===========

The famous Grand View Garden, Lin Jinyu Zhengzheng only followed the concubine Yuan to watch the flowers once when she was visiting relatives, and she also remembered the splendor of the golden jade trees and Qionghua at that time, but now the grand occasion is full of desolation, and there is only a small gate for people to enter and exit. The guard took the money happily and led Lin Jinyu, Jia Tanchun and others in.

Lin Jinyu really didn't want to see Jia Mu, he didn't need to think about what Jia Mu was going to say, and for this, he was extremely annoyed, nothing else.

"Third Sister, go in with your things, I'll wait outside." Lin Jinyu said calmly when he reached the gate of Daoxiang Village.

Jia Tanchun nodded sadly, and hurried in while holding the hand of the servant.

Lin Jinyu found a pavilion and sat down. It was the season when the grass was growing and the warbler was flying. The flowers and trees in the Grand View Garden were luxuriant. Because no one trimmed them, they all grew wildly. "You all sit down, it will take a while."

Ping An was a little annoyed, "Master is also very kind, how did they treat you and our eldest girl before, and now they give food, drink and favors, when will this be the boss."

Lin Zhong raised his foot and kicked Ping An somersault, and scolded, "You bastard, it's your turn to dictate, sir, this is benevolence and righteousness, what do you know? You're full of nonsense!"

"Oh, Uncle Zhong, sometimes I really want to become a monk and forget it!" Lin Jinyu pouted, benevolence and righteousness are worth nothing!He really doesn't want to do such a benevolent thing!

Lin Zhong was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Don't you like to be vegetarian?"

"Being a monk can save you worry."

"The monk has the difficulty of a monk. He has to go out every day to give alms, and he has to read scriptures for several hours, wear coarse clothes, sleep on a hard kang, and eat vegetables and radishes every day. How can the uncle endure this kind of suffering?" Lin Zhong himself As he said that, he felt relieved, Lin Jinyu couldn't be a monk even if he was a monk, and said with a smile, "Didn't the uncle always pretend to be sick when he was young and not go to the temple with his wife to fast?"

"That's because my mother has never been willing to go to Jingyue Zhai." Lin Jinyu said, "Master Jingyue cooks delicious vegetarian dishes, right? Ping An? Sigh, I don't know how Master is doing? Why don't you please The teacher comes to the capital, so you can often eat the vegetarian food made by the teacher."

Being so greedy, and still talking about being a monk, Lin Zhong found that he couldn't understand Lin Jinyu's mind at all.

It wasn't until the sun was setting that Tanchun came out with red eyes. Lin Jinyu didn't ask any more questions, but Tanchun said in a low voice, "The old lady said thank you for your cousin's help."

Lin Jinyu sighed and said nothing.

Sending Tanchun to the gate of the Niu Mansion, Lin Jinyu said, "It's getting late, I won't go in, third sister take care. Give my regards to the elders in the house. This is today's snack. Seeing that third sister didn't eat a few bites, I There are few people in the family who can't eat these..."

"I understand." Tanchun squeezed the veil and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Cousin, be careful on the road, it's so late, siblings must be waiting for you to eat."

Standing at the door and watching Lin Jinyu get into the carriage, Tanchun took a deep breath before turning around and entering the door. First, he went back to his own yard to wash his face, evened his rouge, and finished his makeup. hello.

Mrs. Niu had just had dinner, and her two daughter-in-laws were waiting by her side. Seeing Tanchun come in, she asked, "Did you just come back?"

"Yes." After greeting my mother-in-law, Tanchun said, "I've been to my cousin's house, and my cousin said that my father and uncle are all right. In the afternoon, I will go to the garden with my cousin to greet the old lady. The old lady is in good spirits." Still tough."

Mrs. Niu nodded, with a smile on her face, "That's good."

"My cousin said it was too late today, and he didn't come in to say hello because he was afraid that his wife would be inconvenient. These snacks were given to my cousin by the emperor today. My cousin asked his wife and sisters-in-law to try them." Tanchun lowered his head and frowned.

Mrs. Niu said, "We're all at the door, why don't you invite Mrs. Lin to come in and have a seat? Wouldn't it be said that our family was being rude?"

Tan Chun said softly, "My wife doesn't know something. Cousin Lin is the most respectful of etiquette. Maybe I think this hour is a bit abrupt."

Mrs. Niu smiled and nodded, "That's true. Scholars think too much. Our family is not someone else's. Mrs. Lin's sister and your eldest sister-in-law are sisters-in-law, and he is your cousin. The fate of our two families, just invite him in to talk in the future."

Tanchun responded in a low voice.

===========

When Lin Jinyu returned to the mansion, he deliberately took a detour to Xu's mansion. When Baozi saw Lin Jinyu, he seemed to see a great savior, "Master Jinyu, why did you come here?"

Lin Jinyu raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"

"Don't mention it, I don't know what happened today, the emperor rewarded six lively and beautiful beauties, and the young master stayed in the room." Baozi stomped his feet and sighed in a low voice, "There was a quarrel, young master Jinyu went to persuade him Advise."

Lin Jinyu immediately turned around and ran away, followed by a ghost.
