The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Inquire about something?

Lin Yao was a little puzzled, but she didn't refuse, walking side by side with Xie Yan.

After walking for a while, Xie Yan never spoke, and Lin Yao didn't urge him.

After a while, Xie Yan looked at Lin Yao hesitantly, "I heard that Lingmei is the companion of the Fifth Princess?"

Um?Fifth princess?

Lin Yao noticed the key point and raised her eyebrows, "Sister She is indeed the companion of the Fifth Princess, all the dignitaries in Beijing know about it." Xie Yan has been friends with him for many years, and Xie Yan knew about it 800 years ago. At the beginning of this sentence, the person I want to ask is probably not his sister, but the fifth princess. After all, the emperor gave the fifth princess and Xie Yan a marriage. Xie Yan has never met the fifth princess, so it is reasonable to be curious, "Are you Want to ask about the Fifth Princess?"

Lin Yao punctured her mind, Xie Yan blushed and coughed twice, "I...cough cough, why does Ah Yao ask without knowing it?"

Lin Yao shrugged, "Although Sister She is the companion of the fifth princess, I really don't know anything about the fifth princess. If you want to ask me, you are asking the wrong person."

Xie Yan gave him a white look, "I didn't say you knew about the fifth princess, I just wanted to ask your sister about the fifth princess's personality and preferences."

personality preferences?

Lin Yao looked at him thoughtfully, "Are you planning...to coax the princess?"

"After all, she is a princess. Who knows what her temperament is? But I heard that your sister and your fiancée are all famous ladies, and the emperor respects poetry and courtesy. The fifth princess must have similar temperaments as Lingmei and Miss Gu's family." .”

As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

If the fifth princess doesn't have the same temperament as Miss Lin and Miss Gu, I'm afraid that this accompanying study will not be able to go on long ago. How can I accompany her for nearly ten years?

Xie Yan has never met Lin Yao's younger sister. Although Lin Yao mentioned her sister in front of their friends, she never mentioned her sister's sexuality. wait.

Therefore, Xie Yan's only impression of Miss Lin is that she is an excellent female celebrity.

"That's reasonable." Lin Yao didn't know the temperament of the fifth princess, but he knew his sister. If the fifth princess was a difficult person to get along with, Daiyu would not wrong herself for holding the princess, she would not It's okay to confront the princess, but it's okay to find a way to resign from the job of accompanying the student, after all, Lin Ruhai's official position is not low.

However, the fact is that Daiyu has been accompanying the fifth princess for seven or eight years.

"I want to ask Ayao to ask Lingmei about the disposition and preferences of the Fifth Princess after she goes back. If Lingmei asks the reason, Ayao can tell Lingmei the reason." Xie Yan is not worried about asking what the Fifth Princess likes. Things will be known by the fifth princess.

Lin Yao laughed and said, "Since the emperor has granted you and the fifth princess a marriage, this marriage is a certainty. You need to inquire about the fifth princess's temperament and preferences. My sister knows the reason, so she probably won't hide it."

This is not a bad thing for the fifth princess.

If your future husband is willing to inquire about your preferences and temperament, he intends to accept her. This kind of thing can promote the relationship between the two.

"Thank you, Yao."

"How can this little thing be worth your thanks? Treat me to a meal some other day."

"Then write it down first, and we will have dinner together someday when we rest and take a bath."

"it is good."

The two walked towards the Hanlin Academy talking and laughing.

After staying in the Hanlin Academy for a day, Lin Yao went home to find Daiyu.

Lin Yao had nothing to hide from her own sister, and Xie Yan had no intention of telling him to hide anything.

Hearing that Xie Yan inquired about the preferences and temperament of the fifth princess, Daiyu was a little startled, and then smiled slightly, "Although Mr. Xie was born as a commoner, he is much smarter than you, brother."

Lin Yao didn't expect this to be related to him, "Ahem, it's getting late, my sister will write down the five princesses' temperament and hobbies on a piece of paper, and ask Chun Xing to send it to me when I'm done, and I'll copy it. After that, it will be handed over to Yu Jin."

Naturally, Daiyu's handwriting cannot be shown to outsiders, and Lin Yao will not make such low-level mistakes.

Hearing this, Daiyu smiled and said, "I see, I will send it to my brother in a while."

"Then I'll go first, sister, you can be busy."

Seeing that Lin Yao was about to leave immediately, Daiyu hurriedly called out to him, "Brother!"

Lin Yao stopped when she heard the sound, and turned around, "What's the matter?"

"When will my brother take a rest?"

Lin Yao raised her eyebrows, "It will be Xiumu in two days."

"Sister Lan seems to have something to ask for you. I will invite her to the mansion in two days, and you will come to my place." Daiyu said.

Lin Yao frowned slightly when she heard this, "The wedding is approaching, according to the rules, we are not allowed to meet each other, why does she have to see me urgently?"

Daiyu shook her head, "Sister Lan didn't say anything. She was studying with the princess in the palace two days ago. I saw that she was very preoccupied. I asked her in private. She said she wanted to see you and was quite anxious. I promised her to let you meet, and I also told my wife about this, and she said that if there is something urgent, it doesn't hurt to make an exception once."

No wonder Daiyu set the meeting place in her yard, it turned out that it was approved by his wife.

Since Jia Min agreed, it is impossible for Lin Yao to refuse to meet.

"Then you ask the servant girl to tell me." Lin Yao said.

"Then it's all right, brother go back first."

Lin Yao nodded, turned and left, but she was thinking in her heart why Gu Fulan wanted to see him.

Although he was confused, Lin Yao didn't think about it for a long time. After all, he would know the reason in two days, so he didn't need to waste time and energy on this issue.

Back in the yard, Lin Yao began to practice calligraphy.

After half an hour, Chun Xing came to deliver the letter for Daiyu, Lin Yao opened it, found another piece of paper to copy out the contents of the letter, and then set fire to the paper written by Daiyu.

Lin Yao wrapped the letter she wrote in an envelope and put it in a collection of poems.

The next day, Lin Yao met Xie Yan on the way again.

This time he was sure, Xie Yan came to meet him on purpose yesterday.

"how?"

Lin Yao looked at him amusedly, "You are too impatient."

Xie Yan coughed twice, "Don't laugh at me, be careful that I will retaliate against you in the future!"

It was just a joke, Lin Yao just listened to it, and he smiled and handed him the prepared poetry collection, "Here are the things, keep them carefully, and don't let others take them away."

Although Lin Yao was smiling when she spoke, her tone was very serious.

What is written in this letter is the temperament and preferences of the fifth princess, but the handwriting is his, Lin Yao's. Once others get it, publicizing it will cause scandal.

Xie Yan hurriedly tucked the collection of poems into the skirt of his shirt, and patted it twice. When the photos were solid, he thanked, "Thank you, Ayao, I have wanted this collection of poems for a long time."

He knew that the collection of poems was just a cover, and what he really wanted was probably in the collection of poems.

"Give it back to me after reading it." Lin Yao was not surprised by Xie Yan's sudden change, he smiled and said.

The two talked and laughed and went to the Hanlin Academy.

The next day, Lin Yao took a break from bathing, he got up to practice martial arts in the morning, had just showered and changed, and before he had breakfast, Yuzhu called back, saying that Miss Chunxing from Daiyu Courtyard had come to invite him over.

Lin Yao's hair was still dripping, and she frowned upon hearing this.

It's not the time yet, is it?so early?

Are you so anxious?

Lin Yao slandered in her heart, and went to the inner room to change her clothes, dried his hair with internal force, asked the maid to tie it up, and then went to Daiyu's courtyard after tidying up.

The courtyards of the siblings were adjacent to each other, so Lin Yao soon arrived in Daiyu's courtyard.

"Master is here."

Seeing Lin Yao, the maid Lvqi who was guarding the door hurriedly shouted into the room.

Lin Yao didn't stop her either, and even waited outside the house for a while.

"Why doesn't brother come in?"

Daiyu's voice came from the room, Lvqi raised the curtain when she heard the voice, and Lin Yao entered the room.

Gu Fulan and Daiyu sat next to each other, with two maids standing behind them.

Behind Daiyu stood Chunxing and Hongzhan, and behind Gu Fulan stood Yuya and a strange face.

Although Lin Yao didn't spend much time with Gu Fulan, he also asked Gu Fulan out several times. Every time Gu Fulan brought two maids, Yuya and Chunya, why did he bring a strange maid here today?

This servant girl has a beautiful appearance, but her temperament is not vulgar, she doesn't look like a servant girl at all.

Lin Yao secretly speculated in her heart, but on the surface she stepped forward to salute as if nothing had happened, and then sat down opposite the two.

"Lan'er is so anxious to see me, what's the matter?" Lin Yao asked.

Gu Fulan frowned, sighed when she heard the words, turned her head to the beautiful woman with an unfamiliar face and said, "Let's talk about it yourself."

Lin Yao raised her eyebrows, there was indeed something wrong with this strange woman.

As soon as Gu Fulan spoke, the woman came out and knelt down in front of Lin Yao, "Please help Mr. Lin."

Lin Yao: "???"

What are you doing?Does he look like a living Bodhisattva?Why is everyone running to him and shouting for help?

Lin Yao took a breath and looked at her expressionlessly, "Who are you? Why are you begging me for help?"

Since Gu Fulan brought him in front of him, the identity of this woman might be very special.

"Slave Ye Jingshu."

Lin Yao's face changed suddenly, "What did you say is your name?"

"Ye Jingshu."

Lin Yao frowned, got up slowly, and looked down at her, "Do you know what will happen if you lie in front of me?"

"Your servant dare not lie, please ask Mr. Lin to trust your servant."

Lin Yao frowned, thinking of Ye Fei, and asked coldly, "Where have you been all these years? Your grandfather has been looking for you, why didn't you leave the capital without him?"

When Lin Yao mentioned Ye Fei, Ye Jingshu burst into tears, "The grandfather of the servant has already died of illness, and the person who claims to be the grandfather of the servant is a fake!"

Lin Yao was stunned, "Fake?"

"At that time, the grandfather of the servant was suddenly seriously ill, and the servant had been serving him all the time. When the servant was 12 years old, his grandfather died of illness. I was young at that time, and there were no other elders in the family, so I wanted to ask my grandfather's family to take care of my grandfather's funeral. But who knew that when I brought someone back to the mansion, my grandfather suddenly came back to life. I was young at the time, and I thought it was my own mistake, but... not long after, I was given to Yang Xun by my grandfather. I know it's wrong, but it's hard to get away, it's me..." Ye Jingshu lowered her head, sobbing, "I lured the servant of Yang's mansion, told him to elope, and then escaped. I have been hiding all these years, because I was afraid He found me."

Lin Yao's mind was in a mess when he heard it.

What Ye Jing said in his mouth was completely the opposite version of the story he knew.

But... If Ye Jingshu is true, everything she said is true.

Ye Fei's many abnormalities seem to be explainable.

But here comes the problem again, it was only the first time he met Ye Fei in Shanhai Academy, Ye Fei is so nice, why did he plot against him?

What is so special about Ye Jingshu?Make Ye Fei chase after him?Even the Yang family has collapsed, and he is still looking for Ye Jingshu.

If Ye Jingshu is so important, why did he send it out in the first place?

Isn't this behavior completely contrary?
