The Second Young Master of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Lin Yu wasn't the only one who was distracted. He and Lin Jin both came back to their senses after the inconspicuous carriage had driven far away.

Obviously, the owner of the carriage is not as ordinary as his driver. The light carriage comes here, and there is no other possibility except to deceive people. Lin Jin and Lin Yu remembered Lin Ruhai's advice before leaving Yangzhou, and he couldn't help telling himself to be careful in everything. Do not act rashly.

Especially Lin Yu, he had read a lot of novels about usurping the throne in his previous life, and when he thought about the current situation in Beijing, he couldn't help guessing about that person's identity.Although Lin Ruhai never mentioned the matter of standing in line in front of his sons, Lin Yu still found out through various means that his father supported the Seventh Prince's supremacy. Now it's just a female history, and Lin Yu doesn't know if his father is right in betting, if he is wrong, their family will be ruined.

After a while, Lin Jin came to his senses and tugged on Lin Yu's sleeve to remind him, "Yu'er, let's go in, don't keep Liu Shibo waiting."

Liu Xu, whose name is Xuyang, is a classmate with Lin Ruhai, two years older than him.But Liu Xu is not as weak as Lin Ruhai, he only had two sons and one daughter when he was over [-] years old. He has five sons and two daughters, all of whom are descendants. Both daughters are married, and the first four sons are all successful in their studies. , two are working in other places, and two are studying in the academy. Only the elder Liu Xuan is three years old, a few years younger than Lin Jin and Lin Yu's brothers.

A few days ago, Liu Xu received a letter of greeting from Lin Jin and Lin Yu and a letter from Lin Ruhai, and he was very happy. He and Lin Ruhai had known each other for many years, but they could not meet each other because the other party had been released for many years, so they could only exchange letters. Now Lin Ruhai's children have come to Beijing I'm here, of course I want to see you.It was finally the holiday, and Liu Xu deliberately waited at home. Unexpectedly, before Lin Jin and Lin Yu came to the door, the Seventh Prince came uninvited.Fortunately, the Seventh Prince didn't come to the door for nothing, but he had something important to discuss with Liu Xu, and he left in a hurry without much delay.

"My nephew Lin Jin (Lin Yu) met Liu Shibo and Aunt Liu." In addition to Liu Xu, Mrs. Liu was also present.Because of the friendship between Liu Xu and Lin Ruhai, she has a good relationship with Jia Min. She didn't want Jia Min to die of illness and leave behind a few young children, so she was very sad.

"Good boy, get up quickly." Mrs. Liu told Lin Jin and Lin Yu to get up, and then pulled them to her side to ask for their warmth.

Liu Xu was born as a number one scholar and has been in a high position for many years. He has always been very serious, even in front of his children, but he knew that Lin Jin and Lin Yu lost their mother when they were young, and they stayed away from their father at a young age and went to their natal family. He didn't want to be too strict to scare them, so he didn't speak much, but occasionally asked them about their studies. Even so, it scared Lin Jin and Lin Yu into a cold sweat. This Liu Shibo is so serious, he always feels that he has answered wrongly. It would be an ugly death. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu was gentle and friendly, which kept the atmosphere in the room from being too tense and solemn.

In the middle of the conversation, a chubby kid rushed in staggeringly. He greeted Liu Xu and Mrs. Liu in a decent way, and was about to rush into Mrs. Liu's embrace habitually, but found that his position was blocked. People accounted for, or two very beautiful little brothers.

The children of the Liu family are all afraid of their father, and this one is no exception. He would rather compete with Lin Yu for a position than go to Liu Xu.

Mrs. Liu just said that she turned around and asked her eldest granddaughter to post a message to Daiyu. Next time the three of them will come over to play, Lin Jin smiled and thanked her. Lin Yu was about to speak when she found someone pulling at the hem of her clothes , Looking back, it was a chubby little guy, with frowning brows and pouting mouth, with an expression of indescribable grievance, and softly said in his mouth: "Brother told me, Xuan'er wants to be hugged by my mother. "

Lin Yu has always been incapable of resisting cute things, especially Liu Xuan, who is cute and cute, and is at the most lovable age. Just as he was about to get up, he heard Liu Xu's voice, "Xuan'er, we have a visitor here , don't be rude, don't hurry up and meet the elder brother of the Lin family."

"Brother Lin." Liu Xuan's expression became even more aggrieved, but she didn't dare to disobey Liu Xu's words. Father is really vicious, really scary.

"Xuan'er, be good, don't cry." Seeing that Liu Xuan was really about to cry, Lin Yu quickly stepped back to make room for him.

Unexpectedly, the little guy suddenly changed his mind. He didn't want Mrs. Liu to hug him. Instead, he stuck to him, "My brother is so beautiful. Xuan'er likes my brother, so I want my brother to hug me." To put it more delicately, why did the little devil entangle him.

Although he was slandering in his heart, Lin Yu still hugged Liu Xuan. With him interrupting him, Liu Xu's expression became more gentle.

Everyone chatted and laughed until noon, Madam Liu stayed with Lin Jin and Lin Yu for lunch before letting their brothers go back.When parting, Liu Xuan took Lin Yu's hand reluctantly, and kept repeating to Mrs. Liu that he would come to play next time, and Lin Yu would not let go until Lin Yu nodded.

Coming out of Liu's house, Lin Yu asked Lin Jin wondering if he had a face that children would be more likely to like.Lin Jin smiled and said yes, otherwise how could he have caught Zhou when he was caught.Looking back on the past, Lin Yu was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Lin Jin anymore.

After a while, Lin Jin suddenly said: "Yu'er, it's still early, it's rare for us to come out, so we might as well go back home and have a look." The home Lin Jin mentioned was the old house of the Lin family in the capital. Someone was guarding them. Lin Jin and Lin Yu came back this time and even brought the second housekeeper, Uncle Fu, and others. They just wanted to clean up the old house and move back in when the time was right. They couldn't live in Jia's house all the time.

"Okay, I've never been there before." Lin Yu readily accepted Lin Jin's proposal.

Except for pens and papers, those who came out with Lin Yu and the others were all servants of the Jia family, but with whom? The young master of the Lin family was polite and generous. With it, there will never be any doubts about their orders.

Both were founding heroes, although the ancestors of the Lin family were not as successful as Jia Yan and Jia Yuan brothers, they were also one of the princes. The residence of the Lin family was smaller than that of Ningrong and Rongfu, but it was limited.It's just that after the death of Old Master Lin, the signboard of the Lin Family's Marquis Mansion was removed, and the main courtyard was also blocked because of Lin Ruhai's lack of status. Even if he married Jia Min, he only used the courtyard on West Road.It's just that the four generations of the Lin family are single-handed, and there are only two or three masters for a long time. Even if they only use one-third of the mansion, it is very spacious and will never feel crowded.

The same is in the deep courtyard of Hou Men, standing in his own courtyard, Lin Yu felt much more comfortable than in Jia's house, even though the house in front of him, due to long-term unoccupied, seemed much more dilapidated than Jia's house, but Jin Woyinwo is not as good as our own grass nest, it just feels different.

Uncle Fu heard that the two young masters had returned, so he came over to report in a hurry, saying that the house had been cleaned, but it looked dilapidated after being empty for so many years.Upon hearing this, Lin Jin said, "It's not difficult. My father has thought of it a long time ago. Uncle Fu, you can see which places need to be renovated. First, mark out the places, and then find someone to draw the blueprints. Then the work can start." Lin Jin said so Of course, Uncle Fu nodded his head again and again, as if renovating the house was not a big deal.

While sighing, Lin Yu had to admit that this child who was raised in rich clothes and fine food has a different way of thinking than that of a poor parent like him.In other words, there is nothing wrong with the Lin family’s house except that it looks a bit old. If Lin Yu himself, he would definitely not repair it, and he could live in it with a little painting, but Lin Jin didn’t do it. Lin Ruhai said the same thing, so Lin Yu didn't interrupt.

The next topic turned to the scope of the renovation. First, the backyard of the West Road. After all, the Lin family is small. Even if Lin Ruhai returns to Beijing, there are only four fathers and sons. And Lin Yu, it's better to get in place in one step, so the scope is expanded to the entire West Road.Later, Lin Yu interjected that the back garden should also be rested, so Lin Jin decided to renovate the West Road yard and the back garden. Lin Yu was so scared that he dared not speak again, for fear that he would tear down the entire house and rebuild it.

But Uncle Fu was thinking in his heart, when the master is promoted and returns to the capital, the main courtyard on the middle road will be able to live in, and it will not be too late to renovate at that time, and the courtyard on the east road is basically empty now, when the two masters grow up, After becoming a biological child, the house will be full gradually.

When Lin Jin discussed with Uncle Fu about how to renovate the house, it was already sunset. Uncle Fu wanted to keep them eating before leaving, but Lin Jin said that they had been out for a day and wanted to go back early, so he dragged Lin Yu away , I guess after going back, there will be a lot of rhetoric.

"You just knocked down all the courtyards on West Road, don't you need to tell your father first?" Lin Yu asked curiously.

Lin Jin nodded sharply, and said seriously: "Of course, I will send the rubbings to my father when Uncle Fu finds someone to draw the blueprints. Take it easy and never ask about it again.

Back at Jia's house, it was already time for dinner. Mother Jia asked Lin Jin and Lin Yu about their itinerary for the day.Lin Jin told the truth, whether it was visiting Liu Xu or going back to Lin's house, it was not shameful, and even if they didn't speak up, someone would speak up for them.

After hearing this, Mother Jia didn't say anything. After all, she had no blood relatives. She treated Lin Jin and Lin Yu just because of face.

The days went on so peacefully, Lin Jin and Lin Yu still studied with Jia Baoyu and others every day, and visited Liu's house or went home to supervise the work every Muxiu.Liu Xu's eldest granddaughter, Liu Yuan, is only two years younger than Dai Yu. If she posted a post, when Lin Yu and the others went to Liu's house, Dai Yu would follow her. The Liu family has many relatives and friends. Since Dai Yu met Liu Yuan, she followed her Made a lot of friends.Lin Yu would be entangled by Liu Xuan every time. Fortunately, the little guy had already been enlightened and would not just mess around blindly. It was also fun for Lin Yu to tease him.

What surprised Lin Yu the most was that he once met Jia Lian's relatives at Liu's house.That day, Liu Xi's fourth son Liu Xi's academy was on holiday, and one of his classmates, Zhang Yang, went home with him.It wasn't until they reported their families that Zhang Yang's grandfather was actually Jia Lian's uncle.

At that time, Lin Jin, Lin Yu and Zhang Yang tacitly did not mention this matter, but afterwards, the two brothers discussed this issue.

Jia Lian's grandfather was the emperor's teacher, and the three uncles were also able men, especially the eldest uncle Zhang Chenglin, who was the second assistant of the cabinet. If the chief assistant retired, he was a well-deserved successor.But Jia Lian was lucky, he was obviously the upright heir of the Rongguo Mansion, but he would rather run errands with his second uncle's family than ask his grandfather's family for help, so? ?With a lot of energy, there is absolutely no problem in giving Waimou a good real job.

It's a waste of resources to not use them. He doesn't have such an uncle yet. Lin Yu and Jia Lian have a mediocre relationship, so it's impossible to remind him of anything. Let's just talk about it.On the contrary, Zhang Yang is really an interesting character, and it is worth making friends with them.

Unknowingly, the brothers and sisters of the Lin family have been in Beijing for a year.On this day, news suddenly came from the palace that Yuan Chun was favored by the Ninth Prince and was going back to the mansion to become a concubine.Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. The real man was actually the Ninth Prince. His father's standing in line was wrong.
