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

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Jin and Lin Yu followed the Seventh Prince out of the imperial city to the Li Palace. Compared with Lin Yu, who was still a little curious, Lin Jin was extremely nervous. They rashly got close to the Seventh Prince. Will not leave a bad impression.You know, it is said that officials of the third rank or above are accompanied by their family members, but apart from the members of the royal family, who is not honestly bringing their wife and one or two children of the right age, and driving with the prince's car like them will definitely attract attention. If people pay attention, it would be bad if the father's important affairs were ruined.

Who knows the facts, but it is a little different from Lin Jin's thinking. Among the grown-up princes, except for the seventh prince Tu Feng, all of them are wives, concubines and children. Knowing that their team is quite large, it is probably second only to the saints. Only Tu Feng went out alone, let alone a concubine, not even a concubine. What is even more puzzling is that other people see him like this , I don't think it's strange, as if he should be a loner, even with Lin Jin and Lin Yu, it didn't cause any disturbance.

Tu Feng asked someone to prepare a carriage for Lin Jin and Lin Yu alone. The two younger brothers nestled in the carriage, their eyes were full of doubts, but it was a pity that the partition wall had ears. No matter how puzzled they were, they could only stay in their hearts and dare not speak out.The seventh concubine passed away two years ago, Lin Jin and Lin Yu knew about it, but as a prince, even if the seventh prince is not in a hurry to marry, there should be a few concubines who serve her, she is alone, what does she look like? talk.Lin Jin and Lin Yu couldn't figure it out, so they just stopped thinking about it, and spent every day reading or sleeping in the car.

The Summer Resort is located at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, [-] miles south of Yanjing. It is called the Mountain Resort. It actually covers an area larger than the imperial palace, and the summer is refreshing and cool. No wonder two generations of emperors loved it.It took half a day to go from the capital to the Mountain Resort, but the emperor traveled with a hundred officials, many people and a lot of luggage, and he only traveled more than a hundred miles a day, and he didn't reach his destination until the afternoon of the third day.It was the first time for Lin Yu to sit in a carriage for such a long time since he was born. There were no spring-absorbing wheels, and he was so jolted that his whole body was about to fall apart.

Although there are few people, the treatment of the Seventh Prince is the same as that of other princes, and there is also a garden of his own in the Summer Resort, called Xifeng Garden.Tu Feng lived in the main courtyard by himself, so he gave the west courtyard to brothers Lin Jin and Lin Yu, saying that they could do whatever they wanted in it.

Lin Jin and Lin Yu were born in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have seen many gardens. They walked in a delicate and elegant way. At first sight of this northern-style garden, they were a little shocked. Then the Seventh Prince said that the West Courtyard can do whatever they want. You can play in other places in Qifeng Garden if you want to, but you have to tell Chang Shi that going out is the same, you need to get his permission, you can't just go out casually, other than that, there are no restrictions.

Do you want to be so happy? !Lin Yu couldn't believe his ears. The Seventh Prince was too kind to them.

Tired from the journey, Lin Jin and Lin Yu went to sleep on the day they arrived at Qifeng Garden after simply washing up, and slept until the sun was rising the next day before getting up.According to the accompanying pen and paper report, the Seventh Prince went out early in the morning, and he gave special instructions not to wake them up.

Even though it was in the Summer Resort, the normal operation of the imperial court did not stop. Although the grand court was cancelled, the daily minor courts continued as usual. As one of the grown-up princes, the Seventh Prince naturally couldn't be lazy.Lin Yu reflected on her slackness, hurriedly followed Lin Jin out of bed, and planned to make a schedule, even if she was away from home, she couldn't delay her daily homework, otherwise it would be embarrassing to be questioned one day.

So, when the Seventh Prince came back from court that day, what he saw was the two brothers of the Lin family reading in the study.

"Little gold fish, you didn't go out for a stroll?" Tu Feng not only participated in the Xiaochao, but also visited Empress Liu's palace to greet her. He met his little brother and nephew along the way. Playing crazy, these little brothers can still remember to read and write, they are really good for children.

Lin Jin put down the pen, stood up unhurriedly and replied: "The future is long, and Yu'er and I need to make up the homework we missed."

Tu Feng nodded approvingly, "It's a good thing to be interested in learning, but you have to combine work and rest. Let me have lunch with the king first."

After two days of cramming, Lin Jin and Lin Yu finally caught up with the progress of homework, and started to go out to play when she was free.Now, they all read in the morning when it is cool, and when they get too hot in the afternoon, they go to the water to enjoy the coolness.Tu Feng was afraid that they would be bored, so he led them through the door a few times during the break, most of them were families with boys of their age, including the Liu family.Most of Liu Xu's children have grown up, and Madam Liu only brought her youngest son Liu Xuan and eldest granddaughter Liu Yuan with her when she went out this time.

Seeing Lin Jin and Lin Yu, Liu Yuan asked them why Aunt Lin didn't come. If she came, she would have more playmates.The two brothers smiled, but did not answer, they were all led by the Seventh Prince, how could they decide who would come and who would not, Mrs. Liu thought about taking Daiyu with her, but Daiyu lived in Jia's house, so they rashly took Daiyu with her. If someone brought them out, the Jia family might not look good, and the three siblings would still live there, so after thinking about it, they gave up the idea.Mrs. Liu smiled, and only said that Daiyu wanted to be filial to her grandmother at home, so Liu Yuan didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Yuan went back to her room to embroider. Lin Yu couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she asked Mrs. Liu a question that she hadn't understood for many days. Why did the Seventh Prince know so many children better.The candidate for the crown prince has not yet been decided. As the highest status among the existing princes, Tu Feng has always attracted attention. The saint doesn't like his sons to form cliques, and the princes are also well-behaved, but why is he so careless?At first, Lin Yu really thought that Tu Feng was looking at her and Lin Jin differently, but only recently did she realize that there are too many children Tu Feng likes.

Those who can come to the Summer Resort are all officials of the third grade or above. Several of the sons and grandsons of these people have lived in Qifeng Garden, but they are not like Lin Jin and Lin Yu, who live from the beginning to the end, but in the middle. Come here to stay for a few days, even if it is so, it also surprised Lin Yu who heard the truth for the first time, what is the seventh prince trying to sell.After much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out, so he finally asked Mrs. Liu, hoping to clear up the confusion.

Mrs. Liu sighed deeply when she heard the words, she only said that the Seventh Prince had a lot of misfortunes and his heirs were difficult, and the saint felt a lot of guilt towards him.

It turned out that after the abolished prince committed suicide, the sage hadn't thought about setting up another crown prince, it was just the choice, which gave him a headache.The son of the Empress Yuan is gone, and there are still sons after her. The Seventh Prince is her eldest son, and he is both civil and military. It is said that he is the best candidate, but the fact that he is the heir is embarrassing.Before the big wedding, the seventh prince killed three fiancees in a row, and the civil and military officials in the court trembled when they heard that the sage was going to choose a concubine for the seventh prince. It was a wandering monk who gave the solution, pointing out the seven princes. Concubine's candidate.

What the monk said, no one knows except the sage and Empress Liu, but according to gossip, it should be that the seventh prince and concubine must be born at a certain time in order not to be restrained by the seventh prince.Regardless of the truth or falsehood of the rumors, the seventh prince's concubine's background is unique among the princes and concubines, and she is completely sorry for the seventh prince's status as a direct descendant.Perhaps in order to make up for the Seventh Prince, his wedding ceremony system is [-]% lower than that of the Prince's. People are guessing that the sage is planning to set up a heir, so he will give the Seventh Prince face like this.

In the second year after marriage, the Seventh Prince and Concubine gave birth to a son, whom the sage loved so much that he personally gave him the name, not to mention the third, full moon, hundred days, and one-year-olds were all arranged in Qian'an Palace. decline.But just before the rumors of the crown prince were about to be confirmed, the first emperor's grandson passed away.

Children are all weak and sick. It is not uncommon for any family to have no two children who died young, but the problem is that the emperor's grandson did not die of normal illness, but was poisoned to death. , that bowl of poisonous soup was fed to his son by the Seventh Prince himself.

It is said that at that time, the Seventh Prince concubine was hugging the child and coaxing him patiently, and the Seventh Prince took the opportunity to feed the child with medicine, but in the end a small wind and cold took the child's life.The truth of the matter should have been kept under wraps, but the Seventh Prince's concubine went crazy, and soon after that she threw herself into the lake, and all the maids and eunuchs in the Palace of the Seventh Prince were replaced from top to bottom. , how can I still cover it.

After that incident, the topic of Li Chu was never brought up again, and the Seventh Prince had no intention of succeeding in marriage, but became interested in the children of the clan and important ministers' families.It's just that most of the princes are cautious, even brothers, they don't want to lend their sons out to play. Looking for two children to live in his Qifeng Garden for a while, and not living too much with the children's elders, so the sage also acquiesced in this.

It's just that in previous years, the Seventh Prince took the children who went out with the elders to live there for a short time. This year, when he met Lin Jinlin Yu whose father was not in Beijing, the stay time will be extended, but the essence is still the same as before, so other People saw it, and it was not surprising.

After hearing what happened to the Seventh Prince, Lin Yu was overwhelmed. It seems that he was lucky. If he had crossed directly to the royal family, he would have died a long time ago based on his ability. A aunt like Min is also his blessing.

Lin Yu was just thinking about it, when a fat baby with a big red bellyband rolled into his arms, and kept yelling, "Brother Yu, take me to Fushui, what you said last time, lie People are puppies!" Needless to say, this fat doll is Liu Xuan's little friend.
