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

Before the Seventh Prince finished speaking, Lin Jin and Lin Yu couldn't help but look at each other, and the words "this is impossible" were clearly written in their eyes.It is true that Lin Ruhai had some relationship with the Seventh Prince in the past, and now he intends to cooperate, but it is obviously impossible to entrust the Seventh Prince to take care of them. Before they left Yangzhou that day, he made it clear that they should not deal with members of the royal family casually , Even the Seventh Prince, enough is enough.So after they came to the capital, they didn't visit anyone except the Liu family, and the encounter with the seventh prince was purely by chance.

The seventh prince has been in the court for many years, but he couldn't see what the two little babies were thinking, and then said with a smile: "This king will not lie to you, if you don't believe me, you can write to the teacher and ask the teacher." He said so himself , Can Lin Ruhai still deny it? Tu Feng was full of smiles.

At any rate, through several letters with the Seventh Prince, Lin Jin knew that he was quite a man in the city, and he was not so gentle and polite on the surface. When he said that he wanted to take them to the Summer Palace, there must be some unknown purpose, not him. It was so simple to say it on the spur of the moment. Although he couldn't figure out the reason, he still instinctively felt that it was safer to keep a certain distance from the Seventh Prince, so he stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Your Highness's love, father is not in Beijing right now. , nor the officials accompanying the Summer Resort, our brother's name is not right..."

Before Lin Jin could finish speaking, Lin Yu also stood up and asked eagerly, "Your Highness, can we really go?"

Seeing the completely different attitudes of the two brothers, Tu Feng smiled meaningfully, while Lin Jin turned his head and looked at Lin Yu in disbelief.Before leaving, did he forget his father's instructions? It's really not a good thing for them to go to the summer resort with the seventh prince.

In fact, Lin Yu thought of everything Lin Jin could think of. He also knew that it was not suitable for them to go to the Summer Resort, but Jia Baoyu's reminder was still in his ears. The Seventh Prince was framed by the Eighth Prince. He was not familiar with the Seventh Prince. If you want to remind him to take precautions, there is no way to talk about it. If you can follow him to the summer resort this time, you will definitely have to deal with him. He should pick the right time and say everything that needs to be said, otherwise it will continue like this , really let the eighth prince succeed, and let the ninth prince pick up the ready-made pies, it is not for nothing that he traveled through time.

"One word from a gentleman is hard to follow." The Seventh Prince smiled even more, "Since I have said such a thing, I won't tease you. But little goldfish, do you want to discuss who will listen to whom? "Tu Feng seemed to be very satisfied with the new nickname he gave Lin Jin and Lin Yu, and he wanted to call it out from time to time, but he saw the expressions of the two children were a little stiff, rather daring to speak out.

"Brother, let's go. I heard that the Mountain Resort is beautiful!" Lin Yu couldn't explain to Lin Jin why he wanted to go to the Mountain Resort, let alone in front of the Seventh Prince, even if there was no one around him. For some reason, she simply resorted to the stunt of pretending to be tender and coquettish.

After all, Lin Jin is still a child, and he is not without curiosity about the legendary and beautiful summer resort. Earlier, reason prevailed, so he refused to talk. Now the Seventh Prince is looking at him with leisure, and Lin Yu is beside him He kept persuading him, but he couldn't hold on to his position.

Seeing that both Lin Jin and Lin Yu nodded, Tu Feng smiled with satisfaction: "Children just have to be obedient, so they can be good." It's a waste of life, why anyone who looks at him thinks he is a child.

The matter of going to the Summer Resort was finalized, and Tu Feng asked them a few more questions about their studies. Seeing that it was getting late, Fang said: "It's a hot day, I can't ask you to take a trip for nothing, and go alone when you leave. Pick something from the shop outside, and treat it as a gift from the king."

Although the Seventh Prince's Antique Shop is not very eye-catching in appearance, there are quite a few good ones. Lin Jin and Lin Yu carefully selected a bottle from Ding Kiln, and the other took a copybook from Mr. Jiuyuan. Out of Fengyuan, their harvest this trip is not insignificant.

At the tea stand opposite, Bi Feng and the others had already drank three pots of tea and eaten several dishes of fruit, but they didn't mind, instead they all smiled happily, there was no work to do, no sun to bask in, and the master paid for something to eat, Looking back and rewarding, what a happy life.

Back at Jia's house, Lin Jin and Lin Yu didn't say a word about meeting the Seventh Prince. They only said that they went to the antique shop to look at things. They were fascinated by the sights, so they forgot the time and came back late.Mother Jia and the others didn't say much after hearing this, only Mrs. Wang frowned inadvertently.Lin Jin and Lin Yu buy things, no matter how much money they spend, it belongs to the Lin family. She has no right to intervene, but their Jia family also has a person who loves to buy antiques. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she wanted money from the officials, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

Earlier, Mrs. Wang also talked about this in front of Mrs. Jia, but she didn't want Jia She to listen to Mrs. Xing's report, and turned around to complain to Mrs. Jia, saying that Jia Zheng raised so many Qingke disciples. Money, he is nothing more than buying some antique calligraphy and painting, at least you can watch it at home or give it as a gift, it is better than spending it for nothing, they haven't separated yet.Although Jia Amnesty didn't dare to speak much in front of Jia Mu most of the time, he really started to make trouble, and Jia Mu couldn't do anything to him, especially when it came to the separation of the family.

Logically, the old lady is still there, and the sons can't talk about the separation of the family. It would be unfilial to say so.But since there is no separation, the two households are the same, so there is no reason why one household can spend money but the other cannot.Especially according to the usual practice, the big head of the family business is the long house, and now the expenses of the two houses are roughly the same. Jia's mother really can't find any fault with Jia Amnesty, so she won't bring up this matter again.Jia's mother can ignore it, but Mrs. Wang feels very uncomfortable. Since Zhang's departure, she has taken over the handover, but she has regarded the family business as the second house from the bottom of her heart.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Wang can be happy when Jia Amnesty spends money indiscriminately. From her point of view, all the money she spends is her money.When she first married into Jia's family, Mrs. Wang didn't have a big heart. She had a sister-in-law who had a much stronger family background than herself. What she could do was to keep her own life.Not wanting Mrs. Zhang to be poor, she went there early. Seeing that there was only a second son left in the big house who Jia Amnesty didn't pay attention to, Mrs. Wang began to have an idea. The maid instilled some things, and successfully provoked the relationship between Jia Lian and her family, and even did not make out with Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty succeeded in marrying Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang gave her as a staff officer, and when Jia Lian married, Wang Xifeng was recommended by Mrs. Wang. She had worked so hard, but not to make wedding dresses for others.

The smart Jia Zhu died young, and the future of the smart Yuan Chun was uncertain. Although Mrs. Wang was sad, she was not in despair. Baoyu, Mrs. Wang has the motivation to fight.

Although Lin Jin and Lin Yu didn't say anything, two days later, the Seventh Prince sent someone to the Rongguo Mansion, and everyone in the Jia family knew that their brothers were going to the Summer Resort, which caused quite a stir.For the elders of the Jia family, the Summer Resort is no stranger to this place. Ever since Emperor Taizong moved the capital from Jinling to Yanjing, they have been going there every year.Emperor Taizong was afraid of the heat and couldn't stand Yanjing's hot summer, so he had to leave Beijing every year to escape the summer heat. But if the emperor left, what would happen to the court affairs, so civil and military officials of the third rank and above had to follow him.

It’s not enough for all civil and military officials to go, because the emperor does not come back for ten days and a half months when he goes to escape the summer heat, but departs after the Dragon Boat Festival and returns on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The beauties in the harem, but the officials must be lonely.That's why Emperor Taizong said that the accompanying officials can bring some family members appropriately, and it depends on who they want to bring.

At the beginning, some people brought their regular wives, some brought their concubines, and some brought both mothers and children. Later, it became a rule, mainly the main wives and younger children.Because the summer resort is far away from the town, the female relatives can only visit when they have nothing to do. Other families are regular wives. If you bring a concubine, who will take care of you? It is a waste of your wife's diplomatic opportunity.The same is true for the elderly and children. Those who can reach the third rank will not be too young. There are a few old ladies in the family who love to go out. It is useless to go, but unmarried children can be brought there.

The wives and wives in the capital usually have to beat around the bush when they see their son-in-law, but it is different in the Summer Resort. Everyone lives close to each other, and it is easy to inquire about information.When Jia Daishan was still there, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Min all went to the Summer Resort, and their marriages were also arranged there.Jia Daishan has gone, Jia Shekong has a false title, and Jia Zheng is not high enough. In Jia Lian's generation, no one has ever been to the Summer Resort. Now that Lin Jin and Lin Yu are able to go, it is the Seventh Prince who is leading them. No one is surprised .

Even Jia Baoyu, the news was unexpected. He only revealed the news to Lin Yu a few days ago. He didn't want him to get in touch with the Seventh Prince so soon, and he could go to the Summer Resort with him. It seems that the relationship between the Lin family and the Seventh Prince The relationship is really very close. No wonder Uncle Lin passed away not long after the new emperor ascended the throne in the previous life. This time, with the intervention of two insiders, he and Lin Yu, the eighth prince's frame may not be successful. As long as Uncle Lin is not offended If the former Ninth Prince came to power, sister Lin would not be in such a miserable situation, and he would not be in vain to do it all over again.

I have to say that Jia Baoyu misunderstood. Lin Jinlinyu's going to the Summer Resort was completely arranged by the Seventh Prince. Did the seventh prince of the Qing Dynasty act on a whim or had other intentions.
