The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Lin Yao: "..." Are you deliberately pretending not to know him?

This person is Mrs. Qin's sister, and Mrs. Qin's surname is Ruan, so he must also be surnamed Ruan. This...Mr. Ruan said before that he came to Yangzhou to do something. Whose order?Who is behind him?

The Qin family won't be involved in the struggle for succession, right?

This conjecture made Lin Yao feel very bad. Most of the people who have been involved in seizing the heirloom throughout the ages will not end well.

Even if you are on the right side, it doesn't mean everything is going smoothly.

"This is Lord Lin's beloved son, Lin Yao." Mrs. Qin introduced Lin Yao's identity with a smile, and then said, "How long will you stay in Yangzhou this time? When will you return to Beijing?"

Mr. Ruan smiled and said, "I came to Yangzhou because I have something to do, and I won't be returning to Beijing for the time being."

Mrs. Qin didn't ask her younger brother what he was doing in Yangzhou, "I've already ordered the guest house to be cleaned up, so you can stay here temporarily."

Mr. Ruan did not refuse, but directly agreed.

Because of Mr. Ruan's arrival, Lin Yao didn't stay long in the main courtyard. After Qin Qingze said a few words to Mr. Ruan, he went with Qin Qingze to rest in the Nuan Pavilion of the main courtyard.

After waiting for a while, when it was time for dinner, someone came to invite Lin Yao back with Qin Qingze.

This time, not only Mrs. Qin and Mr. Ruan were there, but his teacher, Qin Qingze's wife Huang Shi, and his teacher's daughter Qin Qingqian were all sitting in the main courtyard. He and Qin Qingze were the last ones to arrive.

Qin Yuxing and his wife sat together, Qin Qingqian sat beside Qin Yuxing, beside Qin Qingqian sat Huang Shi, beside Mrs. Qin sat her younger brother Mr. Ruan, and the remaining two seats were between Huang Shi and Ruan Gongzi. Qin Qingze naturally sat with his wife Huang Lin Yao could only sit next to Mr. Ruan.

In ancient times, it was important to eat without talking and sleeping without talking. After eating in silence, each of them rinsed their mouths, and the servants removed the plates.

"A Yao followed Qingze to the old man's place today, what did he learn?" Qin Yuxing asked suddenly.

Lin Yao didn't expect to face Qin Yuxing's examination just after dinner, so she couldn't help being stunned. Mr. Ruan glanced at him, and suddenly smiled, "What is brother-in-law doing? How can someone take a school examination just after dinner?" Said Looking at Lin Yao, he asked, "How old is Ah Yao this year?"

Lin Yao looked at this unknown Mr. Ruan and wanted to roll her eyes. Does this guy know his age?Break his head and he won't believe it, okay?His teacher would target Yang Zun, maybe he knew the truth from him, no wonder the teacher didn't even look for evidence, and directly caught Yang Zun to make things difficult.

But he deliberately pretended not to know him, so Lin Yao could only cooperate, "I'm eight years old."

"Eight years old, that's still a little young." Mr. Ruan rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.

Qin Yuxing rolled his eyes at him, "You want to tease even children, are they all boring?"

"Don't I like him?" Mr. Ruan said with a smile.

Lin Yao thought, thank you for your liking.

"I heard that Ayao is currently practicing martial arts with her sister, husband, and martial arts. I don't know how talented she is in martial arts? If she has talent, in the future..." Mr. Ruan was cut off by Qin Yuxing before he finished speaking, "he Martial arts are just for physical strength, talent can only be said to be barely strong, so don't think about it."

Mr. Ruan was slightly startled when he heard the words, how is this possible?When he rescued Lin Yao that day, he deliberately touched Lin Yao's bones. Although he wasn't too sure, he couldn't force it, right?

He took a deep look at Qin Yuxing, and found that there was something wrong with Qin Yuxing's expression, so he suppressed the doubts that came to his lips, and planned to ask in private later.

"Then forget it." Mr. Ruan said.

Lin Yao didn't know what charades these two were playing, and wanted to ask, but he was a junior, and he couldn't just intervene when the elders were talking.

"It's getting late, Bao Qian, take Mr. Lin to the guest house to rest." Qin Yuxing turned his head and ordered.

The servant girl next to Mrs. Qin bent her knees and walked to Lin Yao's side, "Mr. Lin, please come with your servant."

"Miss Lao Baoqian." Lin Yao got up and said politely, complaining in her heart, Baoqian, sorry, what kind of stupid name is this?

Bao Qian pursed her lips and smiled, she dared not take it seriously, and then led the way.

Lin Yao followed Bao Qian and left the main courtyard. The Qin family packed it up and gave him a place to live next to the east courtyard, which was just a small single courtyard.

After sending Lin Yao to the guest house, Bao Qian withdrew.

In the guest courtyard, there are maids sent by Mrs. Qin to serve him, only two little girls, and there are not many more. It seems that Qin Yuxing specially told Mrs. Qin not to arrange too many waiters for him.

Lin Yao, who returned to the guest house, stayed alone in the bedroom, thinking of Mr. Ruan, she couldn't help frowning.

He had previously guessed that Mr. Ruan should have obtained the criminal evidence from the Yang family, but after so many days, Mr. Ruan is still staying in Yangzhou. I am afraid that he was thinking about it. What Mr. Ruan wanted was not obtained at all.

This is a bit troublesome, if nothing happened to Yang Long, how would Yang Zun drive him out of the academy?

Lin Yao became distressed, and for a moment she lost her mind to go to the library.

As night fell, Lin Yao lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, when suddenly a black shadow flashed by outside the window, Lin Yao's heart skipped a beat.

Is this a thief, or... haunted?

Although he has not encountered any supernatural events so far, Dream of Red Mansions itself is an ancient book with a mythical color. Don't many supporting roles in Dream of Red Mansions come from the Illusory Realm of Lihentiantai?What kind of Ma Daopo, it seems that there will be some kind of curse?

All these rumors are true, who knows if there are ghosts?

Just as she was thinking, a figure jumped in from the window and landed on the ground without a sound. Lin Yao screamed in her throat, covered his mouth with one hand, and then a familiar voice came out, "Don't Call, it's me."

That Mr. Ruan!

Lin Yao angrily pushed his hand away, exhaled, and couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, but Lin Yao thought, his face must be very ugly at the moment.

"In the middle of the night, did you come to my place to be a thief?" Lin Yao was guarding the night in the cubicle outside, and he didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of being heard by others. If he lowered his voice, he would appear very inoffensive.

Mr. Ruan was scolded, but he was not angry, he said, "After I went back last time, I remembered the source of the fragrance from the other courtyard of the Yang family. If I guessed correctly, it must be a drunk dream. It is extremely expensive, and ordinary people can't get it, and they can't afford it. And people who are caught by this kind of fragrance, even those who are good at martial arts, will lose all internal energy and become weak, not to mention... "Mr. Ruan didn't say any more, and Lin Yao already understood that he missed the point.

May I ask a child who has just encountered a frightened horse, has injuries on his body, and has been poisoned by this special incense, how did he get rid of the medicinal properties?And after Mr. Ruan went in, Lin Yao made a very interesting move.

He poured water into the incense burner and extinguished the incense, which showed that he knew there was something wrong with the incense.

But how did a seven or eight-year-old child know about this special fragrance, and how did he understand the medicinal properties of this fragrance?

There are doubts everywhere!

Lin Yao only felt pain in his heart, how did he know that someone would come to save him?Of course, detoxify yourself whenever you have the chance, and then find a way to get out of that ghostly place!

After thousands of calculations, he did not expect that Mr. Ruan would appear to save him.

I don't know whether to say he was lucky or not.

If it is unlucky, Lin Yao may not be able to escape without the help of Mr. Ruan who set a fire to lure away the guards at the door. After all, he is not familiar with the route of other courtyards at all, and he might run into him soon after running around. Those who went to the Yang family were arrested and returned.

Fortunately, Mr. Ruan has now discovered the problem with him, and now he is here to ask what happened.

It is naturally impossible for Lin Yao to tell about Goldfinger.

But how should he make up for these loopholes?

What a headache!

There was a dead silence in the room.

After a while, Mr. Ruan suddenly chuckled, "Don't be nervous, I'm just teasing you, everyone has their own secrets, I'm not here to trouble you."

Lin Yao didn't think it was funny at all, and felt that Mr. Ruan's bad taste was annoying.

"Has no one ever said that you really deserve a beating?" Lin Yao said this sentence almost gnashing her teeth.

Mr. Ruan said with a smile, "No one has said that, you are the first to say so, but, little guy, are you sure you can beat me?"

Lin Yao: "..."

Don't mention such a sad fact, okay?

When he thought of shrinking into a small bean, he was filled with depression.

"But I really want to know, how did you unravel the medicinal properties of the drunken dream fragrance? This is the most difficult fragrance in the Jianghu. Do your best, this fragrance is said to be unsolvable." He only smelled it a little at the time, but he felt a little uncomfortable after returning.

Lin Yao lay flat on the bed, closed her eyes, and said without any fluctuation in her tone, "I don't know."

"Don't be like this. If you have a medicine that can cure this kind of fragrance, I can exchange it with you. I really need it urgently." Mr. Ruan did not believe that Lin Yao would not know.

Lin Yao is just a child of seven or eight years old, how could the Yang family have to use such a precious mist on purpose?It must be that the Yang family felt the need to use it. Think about the situation when he went to rescue Lin Yao at that time. Miscense.

Then there is only one explanation, Lin Yao took the medicine to undo Mixiang.

"I didn't. I don't know what you're talking about. Go away, or I'll call someone if you don't!" Lin Yao said violently.

Mr. Ruan sat down beside the bed, "Mr. Lin, no matter what, I saved your life, right? Is that why you treat me like this?"

"It's true that you saved my life, but you haven't looked for my father in private?" Lin Yao snorted.

It is obvious that these adults have already communicated with each other, and they don't know what kind of deal they have made in private, so Lin Yao is not stupid.

Mr. Ruan was angry and funny, "You are smart now, don't even think about it, my brother-in-law and your father are good friends, how can I really use the matter of saving you to blackmail Lin Ruhai? My brother-in-law knows, can I have you?" Good fruit to eat? I said that I would be a favor, but it was just to appease you, do you really believe it?"

Lin Yao: "..." I really believed it, I really believed it.

He sat up, "How many words in your mouth are true?"

"I won't mention it before, but what I'm telling you now is true, and there is absolutely no lie." Mr. Ruan said seriously.

Lin Yao heard what he said with sincerity, and thought that Mr. Ruan really helped him escape from the tiger's den, and it would be hard to justify not helping him.

but……

"I can give you the medicine to relieve the mist, but you can't say that you got it from me, and you can't tell anyone, including my father."

Mr. Ruan was delighted at Lin Yao's words, and then stunned.

He didn't ask why he couldn't tell Lin Ruhai and the others. Although this child was innocent, he wasn't really stupid. Since he was told not to tell Lin Ruhai and the others, there must be other hidden secrets.

He tactfully did not ask, "Okay, I promise you."

"Before giving it to you, tell me your full name." Lin Yao said again.

Mr. Ruan was funny, but this small request was not an embarrassment. He directly reported his name, "Ruan Yiran, Yi who is famous in the world, and then Ran," paused, "Now you can give it to me." Bar?"

Ruan Yiran, this name sounds familiar.

Lin Yao thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that Jia Lian had mentioned this name. Once Jia Lian was out on errands, he met someone from the Ruan family. With the help of the Ruan family, he was able to do a good job smoothly.

If he remembers correctly, Jia Lian said that Ruan Yiran is the youngest son of the old man of the Ruan family, not much older than Jia Lian, but he is both civil and military, and he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, as if... His eldest sister is still in the palace Concubine.
