Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Chen Ruiwen followed, wrapped the cloak around Lin Wanru's body, and hugged her into the room. The maids didn't know what happened, they just thought it was a quarrel between the two, and they were all trembling.

Seeing Chen Ruiwen's worried face, Lin Wanru felt more and more uncomfortable, and said in silence for a while, "Since they can earn money, how can the Bao family let Shi Guangzhu take a piece of the pie? Is this business right?"

Chen Ruiwen didn't care about any business, looked at Lin Wanru worriedly, and after a long time made a bold guess: "Do you know Wan Lin? Why does your expression change drastically every time Wan Lin is mentioned?"

Lin Wanru didn't know what to say, she felt uncomfortable and cried, "Wan Lin is not a good person, and the Wan family is not easy to get along with. I'm really afraid..."

Chen Ruiwen keenly grasped the key point in her words: "You said Wan Lin is not a good person? Have you dealt with him before?"

Lin Wanru leaned into Chen Ruiwen's arms and cried for a while, suppressing the panic in her heart. Chen Ruiwen was also in a mess, watching Lin Wanru wipe away her tears, and slowly regained her composure.

Lin Wanru said: "You have been in the capital all year round, and you don't know the rules of the Jiangnan business field. It looks like you have a lot of money, and you are making money every day, but the water inside is actually deep. Although I haven't seen it, I have heard of it. Although the Lin family is from Yangzhou The richest man is just the title of a few decades ago. Now it can't be compared with Wanjia. Wanjia has a good relationship with the prefect of Yangzhou. Wan Yongfu himself is shrewd and capable. A lot of money, now you say that the Wan family wants to compete with the Lin family for the position of the richest man, it is just nonsense, and it is even more impossible to say that Mr. Lin wants to move his business to the capital. He is a person who misses his hometown. Doing business has been going around in the south of the Yangtze River. Why do you want to transfer the business suddenly? This is not a trivial matter. What's more, the Wan family was originally a member of the prince, but now they say that they have contact because of this incident. Pave the way in the dark, tell Shi Guangzhu, don't get involved in this matter, when the time comes, it will be a small matter if you lose money, and the trouble will become big, and you will lose your reputation."

Chen Ruiwen was thoughtful, and held Lin Wanru in his arms: "Don't worry. Guang Zhu is not a child, she has her own measure."

He held Lin Wanru in his arms to comfort him like a child, and Lin Wanru gradually calmed down.He fell into a deep sleep, but Chen Ruiwen didn't close his eyes all night.

Early the next morning, he told Lingxi: "Look quietly at the eldest young mistress, whether you went out today, who you met." Lingxi was full of surprise.But still should.

Chen Ruiwen went to Shi's house, Shi Guangzhu was drunk yesterday, and now he is still lying on the bed, Chen Ruiwen is not polite, stepped forward and kicked him off the bed, Shi Guangzhu oops.Mi stared and got up: "Who? Who kicked me?"

The servant serving Shi Guangzhu was afraid to speak, but Chen Ruiwen picked him up impatiently: "Wake up quickly, I have something to ask you."

Shi Guangzhu rubbed his eyes for a long time.After yawning a few times, seeing that it was Chen Ruiwen, he said, "You already have a wife. If you don't sleep in with your arms around your wife, why are you here?"

Chen Ruiwen said: "I want to see Wan Lin. Please lead me through."

Shi Guangzhu smiled and said: "You still need to tie the strings when you see him? He lives in the inn on the East Street, you just ask a boy to call him. Why, you want to do this business too?"

Chen Ruiwen remained silent with a sullen face, Shi Guangzhu felt something was wrong when he saw it, and stopped smiling, and hurriedly ordered someone to call Wan Lin.

Wan Lin had been wandering around in the capital for more than half a year. At first he wanted to go the way of the Chen family, but Chen Ruiwen didn't even look at him. Later, he followed his father's order to curry favor with Bao Changfei. Remember, Wan Lin was trembling and was thinking about which piece of business he would get from the House of Internal Affairs, when a servant came to pass word that Shi Guangzhu wanted to see him.

Shi Guangzhu is the eldest princess's son and the emperor's nephew. Could it be that the trick laid out by Shopkeeper Song has worked and Shi Guangzhu has taken the bait?

Wan Lin happily went to Shifu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he was tied up and thrown in the firewood room. He was locked up all morning, and then he was released. The boy in charge was full of flesh and looked very fierce: "The young master wants to ask questions later, you should answer well." , as long as there is a false statement, your tongue will be cut off!"

Wan Lin yelled: "Little bastard, do you know who I am? If you offend me, there is no good fruit for you."

The kid laughed instead: "Who are you? Aren't you the eldest son of the Wan family? Bah, you're not worthy of carrying shoes for our young master. You'd better be honest, otherwise you won't even be able to be the eldest son of the Wan family."

Wan Lin had never been in such a mess since he was born. He was cursing at first, but then he was punched a few times, gagged, and was shoved into a small courtyard.

Chen Ruiwen sat at the head with a sullen face, Wan Lin was surprised when he saw it, he naturally recognized Chen Ruiwen, and also heard about Chen Ruiwen's reputation, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, desperately thinking about how he had offended him.

Chen Ruiwen looked at Wan Lin carefully. Although he was embarrassed, he could still tell that Wan Lin was very handsome and full of vigor, and when he thought of Lin Wanru's mention of Wan Lin, he panicked, and the dissatisfaction in his heart came up layer by layer: "You also know who I am. Let me ask you a question, and you answer it. If you are satisfied, I will let you go back. If you are not satisfied..."

Chen Ruiwen snorted coldly, but did not continue, but Wan Lin shivered and nodded repeatedly: "If you have something to say, just tell me, I will know everything without saying anything."

Chen Ruiwen stared at him and said, "Have you ever heard of a person named Lin Wanru?"

Wan Lin was puzzled for a moment, but seeing Chen Ruiwen's cold face, he hurriedly said, "I know you, young master, how do you know Lin Wanru? She is from Yangzhou, the only daughter of Lin Songcheng."

Chen Ruiwen was stunned for a moment, but Wan Lin was afraid that Chen Ruiwen would not believe it: "You don't know, Lin Songcheng is the richest man in Yangzhou, but he has no son, only one daughter. Everyone says that whoever marries Lin Wanru will have nothing to worry about in this life. Unfortunately, she died at the age of 12, Lin Songcheng and his wife were seriously ill, and Lin Songcheng did not go out to take care of business for more than half a year, and this has spread throughout Yangzhou City."

Chen Ruiwen moved his lips, but he didn't know what to ask. Everything seemed to have an answer, but everything seemed to be still foggy.

Wan Lin looked at Chen Ruiwen's face, and didn't dare to continue. Chen Ruiwen asked her again: "Is the Lin family's business focused on Jiangnan or the capital?"

Wan Lin said: "They are all in the south of the Yangtze River. Lin Songcheng is a family lover, because the Lin family's ancestors lived in Yangzhou, and most of their business is in Yangzhou and Suzhou."

Chen Ruiwen sneered, ordered someone to take Wan Lin down, and went home by himself.

Zhenghou Lingxi was at the gate, when he saw Chen Ruiwen coming back, he hurried up to him, and said in a low voice: "After the eldest grandma said hello to the eldest grandma, she said to go to Lianhua Hutong, and the younger one followed all the way. Young mistress went to the front of Lianhua Hutong and went to West Street Lin's Winery."

Chen Ruiwen nodded expressionlessly.

Lin Wanru went to Lin's winery first, and wrote a letter to the shopkeeper Lin to send to Yangzhou. No matter what the prince and Wan's family planned, she couldn't watch her father have an accident. Now she can only remind him first, and then take another step to watch.

Back from Lianhua Hutong, Lin Wanru only thought that Chen Ruiwen was not at home, but as soon as he entered the inner room, he saw Chen Ruiwen sitting by the kang reading a book, and couldn't help being curious: "Why did you come back so early?"

Chen Ruiwen groaned, watched Lin Wanru change clothes, then put down the book and looked at her, Lin Wanru was surprised, and sat in front of him: "What happened?"

Chen Ruiwen glanced at Lu Ni, and Lu Ni quietly waved to the cage smoke, and retreated, Lin Wanru became more and more strange, Chen Ruiwen looked at her with a serious expression: "What is your relationship with Lin Songcheng?"

Lin Wanru was stunned and didn't recover for a long time.

After a long time, Lin Wanru said slowly, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Chen Ruiwen said: "At first I thought you knew Wan Lin, but I asked Wan Lin today, and he said that Lin Songcheng has a daughter named Lin Wanru. I think what you really care about is Lin Songcheng."

Lin Wanru was in a mess and didn't know what to say. She came back from the dead and turned back time, but she became Lin Wanru in Suzhou. This must not be said, otherwise she would be regarded as a ghost, but if she didn't say it, what should she do? explain?Especially Chen Ruiwen's temperament, if he is fooled, it will definitely not work.

Lin Wanru thought of Miaoyu, she said: "Do you know Miaoyu? She is now living in Quicui Temple, Grand View Garden of Jia Mansion, and she is practicing with her hair. She is from Yangzhou."

Chen Ruiwen nodded: "I've heard of it."

Lin Wanru said: "At that time, when I just arrived at Jia's house, my brother-in-law said that a beautiful Taoist nun came to the house, so he took us to see it together, but Miaoyu was very surprised when she saw me. Later, when I asked her, she said that I She looks very similar to an old friend of hers, even the name is exactly the same, that person is Lin Wanru, the only daughter of Lin Songcheng."

"I was curious, and asked more and more details. Only then did I know that Miaoyu is also the daughter of an official family in Yangzhou. Because of her good looks, she was favored by the nobles from the capital and asked to be a concubine. Her family refused, and they were afraid of offending her." Miaoyu has no choice but to become a monk and practice. Her secular name is Zhuang, and her maiden name is Mengdie. Her neighbor in Yangzhou is the Lin family. She grew up with the girl from the Lin family. It is a pity that Lin Wanru died at the age of 12. Hearing Miaoyu say that not only does she have the same name and surname as mine, but she even has the same date of birth, so I wondered if she was my previous life..."

Chen Ruiwen hugged Lin Wanru tightly: "Fool, you are you, how could it be someone else, how can you believe the theory of gods and ghosts."

Seeing Chen Ruiwen's letter, Lin Wanru heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I feel that Lin Songcheng has only one daughter who died young, and I feel sympathy for it. Wan Lin's matter was also told by Miaoyu. She was born in Governor Yang. As a native of Yangzhou in Yangzhou, she is very familiar with the affairs of the Wan family, and we heard her mention it when we were chatting, so I remembered it."

Lin Wanru simply told about the letter from shopkeeper Lin of Tuolin's winery to the second old lady of the Yang family: "... I was afraid that Mr. Wei would make a big fuss, remembering Miaoyu mentioned this relationship, she pretended to be from the Lin family. Man, fooled him into sending a letter."

Chen Ruiwen was helpless: "Why didn't you tell me?"
