New Dream of Red Mansions

In the study, Lin Ruhai had just explained the situation of the Lin family to Lin Yuan, and asked him to take good care of Daiyu, "Although I will adopt one of your brothers, he is still your younger brother, and he will be ranked after you in the future. , I just hope that you will take care of their siblings more in the future."

Lin Yuan felt something in his heart, "Uncle Wu, you, which younger brother are you?"

"It's your fourth brother Lin Sheng." Lin Ruhai said: "I also know some Qihuang skills. That child is born with deficiencies, which is similar to Yu'er. He will only be a drag in a family like yours. After all, following Yu'er There is no shortage of medicine stones, but the child's body may not be able to become an official in the future, so I want you to make a promise that you will be their elder brother in the future."

Lin Yuan opened his mouth, and kneeled down in front of Lin Ruhai gratefully. From Lin Yuan's point of view, Lin Ruhai could obviously ask to adopt him or his smart third brother. Both he and the third younger brother might become officials in the future. In this way, Lin Daiyu had better support, but considering the situation of their four brothers, Lin Ruhai actually chose the most unlikely Lin Sheng. Lin Yuan couldn't say anything other than gratitude.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Yuan who was kneeling. In fact, wasn't his choice made after careful consideration?Although he may lose a talented and accomplished heir by choosing Lin Sheng, it may win powerful foreign aid for Daiyu.

Lin Ruhai pulled Lin Yuan up and said: "The old lady of Jia's family is Daiyu's grandmother, she really treats you as a younger sister sincerely, but the Jia family's relationships are complicated, and people's hearts are not the same. Dealing with those people," Lin Ruhai's eyes flashed disgust, just happened to be seen by Lin Yuan, he was slightly taken aback, then frowned, it seems that the Jia family did something excessive, otherwise how could the lenient Fifth Uncle Would you hate the Jia family so much?

"Since you are already a Tongsheng, you are ready to take the examination of scholar this year."

Lin Yuan opened his mouth wide, "Fifth, Uncle Fifth, there are still more than two months left for the scholar exam, I'm afraid my nephew..."

Lin Ruhai smiled confidently: "You didn't do anything for the past two months, just study in the mansion with peace of mind. Although I haven't studied for many years, the foundation is still there, so I can barely give you some pointers."

Lin Yuan stopped talking immediately. Scholars pay attention to the endless learning and hard work. Lin Ruhai's saying that he has not studied for many years is just a modest statement. How could he not study?Not to mention asking a Tanhua to instruct a child student to be a scholar.

Lin Ruhai said: "You don't have to be cautious, you have achieved fame, and you can protect your younger brothers and sisters in the future." The two talked on the phone, and the sky darkened. Lin Ruhai took Lin Yuan to the backyard to find Daiyu They, formally introduce them to each other.

"Yu'er, this is your eldest cousin Lin Yuan, from now on you will call him big brother, and if Yuan'er doesn't mind, you can call him younger sister."

Lin Yuan naturally bowed to the end, and called out "sister" squarely.

Daiyu thought that Lin Yuan was the heir, so naturally she called "Big Brother" in a friendly manner.

Lin Ruhai pulled Lin Sheng over and said to Daiyu, "My father has already decided to adopt my stepbrother as the heir. From now on, Lin Sheng will be renamed Lin Jiasheng. When the patriarch is ready, we will go to Jinling to worship our ancestors together."

Daiyu looked at Lin Sheng in surprise, then she was overjoyed and said happily, "Then I will have a younger brother?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not one, it's three. The number of their brothers is still called brothers. After all, the blood relationship will never stop. From now on, the five of you, brothers and sisters, will watch over and help each other."

Xiyan, who was about to enter the door, heard a rough idea, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up. After all, Jiang is still old and hot, but Lin Ruhai pulled four natal brothers over for Daiyu. What is the difference?Even if someone has bad intentions in the future, it is impossible for all four brothers to become bad together, right?We must know that today's scholars still value integrity.

Xiyan backed away quietly, and said to Chunlan who was following behind: "Go back and prepare three more gifts as usual, and prepare Brother Yu's as well. By the way, Brother You has already passed the child's exam. He Did you say when you'll be back?"

"Master You said that the third old master is taking him to visit some friends these days, and he will come up when the packing is almost done. The third old master and the others will go to the capital to wait for us after they have dealt with the affairs of Gusu."

Xiyan nodded in satisfaction, "This way we can move out once we return to the capital, but I feel a little bit reluctant to part with my sisters."

Chunlan laughed and said, "We won't leave the capital. If you miss some girls, you can go and see them, or you can invite them to your home."

Xiyan nodded, now she was vaguely looking forward to the days after arriving in the capital, after all, she would have her own home, and she would not have to be sneaky about doing things in the future.

But at this time, the capital is in a time of bloody turmoil. The fourth prince who was originally the least expected suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The few princes lost the consciousness of competing for territory outside, and returned to the capital one after another. They have been thinking about it for the past few months. The method is to put eye drops on the fourth prince in front of the emperor. Since the emperor can abolish the prince, why can't he abolish the fourth prince?

The fourth prince suddenly closed the door and focused on reciting Buddha, so angry that his brothers smashed their cups. The fourth prince was in charge of the household department, and there was no major problem. Let the emperor throw a cup at them, so the princes who racked their brains suddenly remembered Pingyanghou at the border.

The third prince gritted his teeth and said, "If it wasn't for Marquis Pingyang, we wouldn't be so passive."

Several staff members nodded repeatedly, and the third prince paced and said: "You said, what if the fourth elder Shen colluded with Marquis Pingyang?"

Several staff members looked at each other in blank dismay, "Third prince, there is no evidence for this."

The third prince snorted coldly, "It's an eventful time at this time, don't you guys think too much about it?"

Several staff members immediately used their brains and brought up a lot of topics, such as the current fourth concubine is Pingyanghou's sister, and Pingyanghou is very kind to his nephews, when did he send what gifts... It's all Some trivial matters.

The third prince waved his hand and said: "None of these things, you can't think about it? What are the four and the Marquis of Pingyang who have military power going to do? Naturally, it is a rebellion. The prince has done this. As long as we can provide some evidence, then the fourth Even if you don't die, you have to be circled like the waste prince."

One of the staff's eyes lit up, and he said: "Your Highness, I remember that Marquis of Pingyang had run out of food and grass, so he shouldn't be able to hold on in winter, but why did so much food and grass suddenly appear?"

The third prince was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "Yes, where did so much food and grass come from?"

"Yeah, where did it come from?" the staff member shook his head and asked back.

The third prince resisted the urge to throw someone with a cup, and asked with a straight face: "His Highness is asking you, do you still expect His Highness to give you an answer?"

Several staff members immediately lowered their heads and shrugged, and that staff member blushed.

Several senior staff members have already started discussions on this topic, and have come up with a series of plans, for example, how did the fourth prince secretly transport the food and grass to Marquis Pingyang, and what is the reason for the fourth prince to secretly accumulate such a large amount of food and grass?

Next door to the Third Prince's Mansion is the Eighth Prince's Mansion. In his mansion, someone also raised this question.The Marquis of Pingyang, who was far away at the border, didn't know that two princes were thinking about him tonight, and tomorrow, the court would be shaken again.
