Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

In Aunt Xue's heart, the most important thing is her son, and the second most important thing is money.When Xue Shun came back and said it, Aunt Xue almost slapped her.

Xue Baochai was a scheming person, so she let her mother down, and said in a warm voice, "Mom, the housekeeper has worked hard, let the housekeeper go down to rest first."

"That's right, let's go rest." Aunt Xue's voice seemed to come through her teeth.

Xue Shun, who had been with Master Xue since he was a child, also knew a thing or two about the temperament of the mistress. Seeing this, he might have suspected him, so he couldn't help but sighed and backed away.

Aunt Xue held her daughter's hand and said, "My son, you have an idea, think of a way for mom."

"Mom, my family is no better than before, and these servants will inevitably have different ideas." Xue Baochai said in a low voice, "Maybe someone in the prison is embarrassing our family."

"Then what about your brother?" Aunt Xue asked anxiously, fearing that her son would be mistreated inside.

Xue Baochai sighed, "Our mother and son have limited knowledge after all, and we have to ask Lian's second brother for this matter."

……

Mrs. Wang told Wang Xifeng first, and Wang Xifeng said, "That's it, invite my aunt over here, I'll call Lian'er, let's discuss it face to face, what should we do? It will take some time for father to return to Beijing?"

Jia Lian really didn't want to meddle in this business, and said with a wry smile, "Madam, aunt, the yamen is open, and the officials have two mouths. Don't come in if you have a reason and no money. This is also an old saying. Big brother went in, and we just hold it for love. Have you come down? Is this yamen still like a business, can you bargain?"

Mrs. Wang said, "Who is the surname of the soldier who patrols the city, the surname Mu?"

"It's easy to inquire. Master Mu is the son of the Duke of Dong'an." Jia Lian saw that the woman had shut up, and said, "I've thought about checking for a long time, but it's not easy to ask the Duke's mansion for such trivial matters."

Mrs. Wang said, "The King of Dong'an has made friends with the old man in our mansion. This Lord Mu is not the head of the prince. If the princess Taifei or the princess says something, he will not refuse to obey, and he can make you Big Brother Xue will save a few days of suffering."

Jia Lian didn't speak, Xue Baochai said softly, "How about this, my family buys a decent gift, if there is a banquet at the county prince's mansion, and the second elder brother bothers to send it, it will be regarded as the filial piety from the mansion to the county prince's mansion. If it is not troublesome, It is my brother's fortune to say something, the prince. If it is really troublesome, there is no need to disturb the peace of the prince."

Wang Xifeng also said, "Let's try it by luck, we are also family friends with the King of Dong'an. In a few days it will be the birthday of Princess Dong'an, so I just use this as an excuse. I'm not begging the prince to let me go, but just looking at the life of my friends." Go up, the people below will take care of you a bit."

This matter is feasible after thinking about it, so Jia Lian agreed.

Lin Jinyu went to Xu's mansion to ask for homework, but met Yang Feiyu again, and the two greeted each other affectionately. Those who didn't know their appearance thought they were brothers, which disgusted Xu Ziwen enough.

"I haven't seen Junior Brother Lin for a long time," Yang Feiyu said with concern in his eyes, "Junior Brother Lin, how are you doing these days? Junior Brother seems to have lost weight."

"It's good to ask senior brother to think about it. I am like this. Others suffer from summer, but I suffer from winter." Lin Jinyu touched her peach face, then glanced at Yang Feiyu's clear and juicy melon-seeded face, thinking The gap, the gap.

"It's a coincidence today, Junior Brother. I also heard about your family's lawsuit. It was a mess, and people were arrested and taken to Rongguo Mansion. Now people in Kyoto say that this is a war between the two nephews of Rongguo Mansion." Yang Feiyu laughed and said, "Sir, there are only two of us disciples, and I don't have any brothers in my family, so I treat my junior brother as my own brother, but if there is anything that needs me, my junior brother can speak up."

"Oh, that's really good. Speaking of which, I don't know what my brother is good at?" Lin Jinyu smiled and took a small walnut, knocked it open twice, handed it to Yang Feiyu, and asked , "Brother, if you are a civil servant at home, can you know the official censor?"

Yang Feiyu thought to himself, I'm just being polite, but you take it seriously, this kid is probably deceiving himself, so he broke open the shell of the walnut, blown off the crumbs, chewed it carefully, Yang Feiyu drank two more sips of tea, After showing enough style, he said, "What did the Yushi Yanguan say?"

Lin Jinyu went down with a small hammer, smashed out a handful of walnut kernels and put them in a round wooden box aside, saying, "Scream, let them scold, the imperial merchants are rich and unkind, and hire people to kill the orphans of meritorious officials in the street! My father died in office, and so did the emperor." I don't believe that the emperor will ignore those who have been commended by decree!"

Yang Feiyu frowned, "It's a solution, but Wang Ziteng is going back to the capital and moved to the cabinet as Minister of the Ministry of War. This solution is only temporary. After all, the younger brother is not injured, and Xue Pan will not punish him too harshly."

"At least he can win the title of imperial merchant. If the sentence is serious, he will have to buy it with silver. If the foundation of the Xue family cannot be shaken, he will be able to get rid of the skin." The corners of Lin Jinyu's lips curled up, and there was coldness in his eyes. Mang, but his voice was soft and sweet, "It's like a big tree, once you cut it down, you will have to cut it a second time and a third time. After a long time, why not ask for it?"

Yang Feiyu snorted, lowered his eyes and said, "It's really cheap for that idiot Xue!"

"There's no need to be angry, Wang Ziteng is in charge of Mu Li's place when he returns to Beijing," Xu Ziwen said with a smile, "If the Xue family's internal affairs office is changed, it will be regarded as breaking his leg."

"Well, I'll leave the censor to senior brother." Lin Jinyu gave Yang Feiyu all the small walnuts he had knocked out, then held tea and laughed, "How else can I think senior brother Yang is amiable? Senior brother does this for For my own sake, my brother is just like that."

Yang Feiyu choked, but I didn't respond.Looking at the small walnuts in the box, I thought, your walnuts are really expensive.

Xu Ziwen looked at the western clock on the shelf, and said with a smile, "Fei Yu, you should go home."

Lin Jinyu looked regretful, "It's a pity, I'm late, and I still want to have a deep talk with senior brother. Senior brother, I'll see you off. It's cold today. Come, I'll put a cloak on senior brother." After touching it twice, This fur is so good, it's water-slippery, "Brother, your hand stove. Bring the walnuts too. The younger brother is filial to the younger brother. The courtesy is light and the affection is heavy. Brother, don't dislike it."

Yang Feiyu laughed dryly, took Lin Jinyu's hand and said, "Don't bother me, I'll go out by myself, you can talk with sir. I'm used to it here, sir."

"Okay, I'll listen to senior brother." Lin Jinyu held Yang Feiyu's slender, white and beautiful hand, reluctantly said, "When senior brother comes, send someone to Rongguo Mansion to send a message, and I will definitely be there. Brother, be careful on the road, prop up your hat, and keep out of the wind."

"Definitely, I'm making my younger brother miss me. Younger brother, please stop." Yang Feiyu nodded slightly to Xu Ziwen, "Sir, I'm going back."

Lin Jinyu sent Senior Brother Yang away with enthusiasm, sat on the mat in front of Senior Brother Yang and handed the article to Xu Ziwen with a smile.

"I don't understand. Do you like Feiyu or hate it?" Xu Ziwen asked with a smile without reading the article.

"Senior Brother Yang is so beautiful, how can I hate him? Sir, next time Senior Brother Yang comes, you can send someone to tell me," Lin Jinyu swallowed saliva, "Senior Brother Yang is the most handsome boy I have ever met." Good-looking people."

Xu Ziwen laughed, "Feiyu is not easy to get along with."

"That's the first time I've met such a hypocritical person. We each get what we need." Lin Jinyu sat upright, smiled, and said, "Senior Brother Yang asked about my lawsuit inside and outside, how could I To disappoint my brother."

Xu Ziwen said, "What's the matter, didn't you have such a temper before?" When he was in Yangzhou, Lin Jinyu was keen on charity. He suggested Lin Ruhai to give out porridge and medicine during the festivals. The famous compassionate heart.

Lin Jinyu lowered her eyes and said, "If you don't die when you beat a snake, there will be endless troubles. Sir, I don't know. My grandmother's house looks good, but it's not a place to live for a long time. The second aunt's words are running on my sister and I don't talk about it. The matter of the bird's nest. Because the mansion is building a garden, they are eyeing the money in my hand."

"There is such a thing. Jia's family built a prostration garden. What does it matter to your siblings?" Mr. Xu's face darkened, "Tell me carefully."

Lin Jinyu then told the bird's nest incident from beginning to end, "Nowadays, the second aunt is the housekeeper, but the old lady is actually in charge of the house. I look at the old lady's heart, not our siblings. My father made six Yangzhou Yanzheng in [-], the fattest seat in the world, and the family is also considered a family of tired officials, I just said that I have no money, second aunt and they will not believe it?"

Mr. Xu looked at Lin Jinyu and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I won't take the initiative to attack. Like Xue Pan's case, if he doesn't move, who can frame him? Whoever moves first will lose the opportunity. I will wait patiently. We can still move around. If I still plan to plot against our siblings, I will not sit still." Lin Jinyu sighed, "There are not a few people like Senior Brother Yang who are waiting to build bridges and stir up trouble." With a small walnut in her hand, Lin Jinyu With a little force, there was a "click", and it broke into several petals.

Xu Ziwen stared at the walnut in his hand, shook his head and smiled.
