The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

"I don't dare, my servant is willing to be a servant, please don't drive my servant out of the house." Mengrui cried like rain, for fear that Lin Yao would really drive her out.

"Someone, take her down." Lin Yao felt uncomfortable seeing her.

So what if you want to be a servant?

Leaving aside, let's just talk about Jia Lian, whom he is more familiar with. He often contaminates young married women in the mansion. Lin Yao alone knows about four or five of them.

This Mengrui is restless just looking at it, she is very ambitious, staying in the mansion as a servant, Lin Yao doesn't believe that she will be peaceful.

Nanny Song led a few rough envoys and dragged Mengrui out.

With the example of Mengrui in front, the other maids didn't dare to have any more thoughts. This Uncle Lin has a heart of stone. Even Mengrui who is as beautiful as Mengrui can be cruelly kicked out. Their beauty is not as good as Mengrui's. , how dare you miss Uncle Lin?

A maidservant is a maidservant, and if she wants to become Uncle Lin's aunt in one step, that's what Mengrui will end up with.

Playing the game of killing chickens and monkeys with one hand, the other seven maids honestly expressed their willingness to be servants.

Lin Yao didn't make things difficult for them, and let them choose whoever they wanted to be a servant.

The next day, Lin Yao brought Gu Fulan back home.

On the day of returning home, Lin Yao was not nervous about going to the Gu family, as he knew everyone in the Gu family quite well.

On the second day after returning home, Lin Yao's vacation was over.

When they arrived at the Imperial Academy, almost everyone congratulated Lin Yao.

"Ayao's face is full of red, it seems that she likes Mrs. Sister-in-law very much?" Xie Yan approached Lin Yao and joked in a low voice.

Lin Yao glanced at him, "Yu Jin wants to get married? How about I remind you?"

This is of course a joke, even though he has some face in front of the emperor, he is not qualified to urge the marriage.

Xie Yan shook her head quickly, "I was just joking, what about you?"

Lin Yao gave him a blank look, "Okay, let's go and repair your book."

After returning to the Imperial Academy, Lin Yao resumed her daily routine of being called to the imperial study by the emperor every now and then.

On this day, Lin Yao was called to go to the imperial study room, unexpectedly when she arrived at the entrance of the imperial study room, she saw Yu Wang coming out of the imperial study room with blood on his forehead.

Yu Wang didn't expect to bump into Lin Yao head-on, and his face was a bit ugly.

"I have seen His Royal Highness Yu Wang."

King Yu didn't cry out, and looked at Lin Yao coldly, "Are you also here to see this king's joke?"

"I don't understand what His Highness means."

King Yu snorted and walked past Lin Yao.

Lin Yao stood up, turned her head to look at the back of King Yu leaving, thoughtful.

When he came out of the imperial study room, there was a wound on his forehead, still bleeding.

It seems that King Yu did something to make the emperor angry.

"Lord Lin, Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the imperial study." Eunuch Liu, the chief eunuch, came out of the imperial study, shaking off the dust, and said with a smile.

Lin Yao came back to her senses, "Eunuch Liu, I don't know if His Majesty called me over at this time, what can I order?"

"I don't know that." Eunuch Liu said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Eunuch Liu's face, Lin Yao thought it was not a bad thing, so she nodded to Eunuch Liu, turned and went into the imperial study.

Eunuch Liu did not follow in, but stood outside the door, thinking, this Lord Lin is really the upstart favorite of His Majesty.

His Majesty has never liked his own son so much...

Lin Yao went into the study, and made a prostration ceremony, "Meet Your Majesty."

"Don't be too polite, get up." The emperor's voice sounded a little hoarse, Lin Yao thought to herself, what happened?

Lin Yao stood up, "I don't know why the emperor summoned the humble ministers here?"

"I want you to go to the Ministry of Officials to practice and practice. How about Ai Qing?"

Lin Yao was a little surprised when she heard this, "This..."

"If you don't want to, I won't force you." The emperor rubbed his forehead, looking a little tired.

Although Lin Yao felt that the emperor was so special to him because of the halo, the emperor treated him so special that he received all kinds of preferential treatment, but he couldn't help accepting this kind of love.

Since the emperor asked him to go to the official department, there must be a reason.

Lin Yao is not a person who is afraid of things.

"A humble minister is up to the emperor to make the decision." Although Lin Yao didn't know what happened, she thought it had something to do with Yu Wang who just went out.

Yu Wang seemed to hold a grudge against him.

Although she didn't know what happened, Lin Yao felt that she urgently needed to increase her strength.

In terms of martial arts, Lin Yao did not dare to say that her martial arts were superb, but there should be no problem with self-protection. If King Yu wanted to assassinate him, he must have made a mistake.

But if he was criticized in court, and the emperor would protect him, Lin Yao was not worried.

Forget it, when the soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, they will always know.

"That's settled then."

The next day, the emperor's imperial decree came down.

Lin Yao was hand-picked to go to the Ministry of Officials as a doctor in the Ministry of Officials.

The doctor of the official department is a fifth-rank official. Lin Yao only edited from the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy before, and he only stayed in the Imperial Academy for a few months, and he was even promoted to the third rank.

Even though he knew that Lin Yao was very popular with the emperor, this imperial decree still amazed both civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

There has never been an official who has been promoted to three ranks in a row in this dynasty, and he is still a new top scholar who has just entered an official position.

Lin Yao's promotion was so sudden that others thought that he was promoted by the emperor's favor and entered the official department. Even though the Shangguan did not dare to show Lin Yao's face because of the emperor, he was not very enthusiastic.

Lin Yao didn't feel excluded in the Hanlin Academy, but she tasted a little bit of being excluded in the official department.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and Lin Yao has been doing things in silence, which has reversed the official's opinion of him.

Gradually, Lin Yao also got mixed up in the official department.

October [-]th was Jia Min's birthday. Although it was not the whole birthday, a family banquet was held. The first aunt and second aunt brought several girls from the house to congratulate him.

It was lively all day long, but Lin Yao was not in the mansion, and only returned to the mansion after finishing the yamen's work, and at this time, all the relatives went home.

In the evening, I had dinner with Jia Min, went back to the house, took a shower and changed clothes, and was ready to go to bed.

Gu Fulan lay beside Lin Yao and talked about Yingchun cousin in Rongguo Mansion.

"Cousin Yingchun is eighteen this year, but she hasn't been engaged yet. Judging by the appearance of my eldest aunt, it seems that she doesn't mean that at all."

Lin Yao said, "Yingchun was not born to my aunt, but also a concubine, so it is not taken seriously in the mansion over there."

"Not taken seriously?" Gu Fulan frowned, "But I heard that the girls of the Jia family were raised by the old lady. After all, the old lady is the wife of a first-class Duke. It's not difficult, is it?"

"Hmm..." Lin Yao put her arms around Gu Fulan, "This is also their family's business."

Gu Fulan sighed, "I just feel sorry for Cousin Yingchun."

Lin Yao asked strangely, "She's so good, why do you think she's pitiful?"

"Today's mother's birthday, my first aunt and second aunt brought Yingchun and Tanchun over to congratulate me. I saw that cousin Tanchun is two or three years younger than cousin Yingchun, and she speaks and behaves very well. Cousin Yingchun... is a bit taciturn." Gu Fulan I wanted to say something, but I swallowed it again.

Some things were inappropriate for her to say.

Lin Yao laughed and said, "Madam, you want to be a matchmaker for Cousin Yingchun?"

"Last month, my uncle sent a letter saying that Cousin Cheng's wife died of illness? Cousin Cheng is only 20 years old. stepwife, but this marriage is also worthy."

Lin Yao thought to herself, she is more than worthy.

His cousin is the youngest in his uncle's family, and his talent for reading is also the best. His original partner is from a scholarly family in Yangzhou. Will marry his daughter to him.

Unexpectedly, this Han family was weak and often fell ill after marriage. No, she passed away after only two years of marriage.

As for Yingchun, although she was born in the Rongguo Mansion and was brought up by the Duke's wife, her father is only a first-class general and a concubine after all.With the conditions of Yingchun, it is impossible to marry into a high family, and it is difficult to choose a suitable one for a low marriage.

Although Lin Yao hadn't read the original novel, she also knew that Yingchun was later paid off by his uncle who was a scumbag, married a domestic violence man, and was tortured to death within two years of marriage.

Lin Yao only knew that the man was called Sun Shaozu, he hadn't read the original book, so he couldn't remember the information clearly, but he knew that a few years ago, a young man named Sun Shaozu came to the Rongguo Mansion, inherited the contacts of the Rongguo Mansion, and stayed in the capital as an official. Now the official position is not high, but the family wealth has accumulated a lot, which shows how much money he has been greedy in the past few years.

This Sun Shaozu married a wife a few years ago, and he didn't respect this wife at all. All the pretty maids in the Sun family were all touched by this one.

Lin Yao didn't know if it was true or not that the eldest uncle owed Sun Shaozu money, but this Sun Shaozu was a wolf-hearted person, but it was not false at all.

He hadn't seen Yingchun a few times, but he heard his wife sympathize with her, and he thought of Yingchun being married to Sun Shaozu, a domestic violence man, it seemed quite miserable.

"What are you thinking? Why don't you speak?"

Lin Yao came back to her senses and said with a smile, "If you are willing to be a matchmaker, you can tell your wife about it. You are just newly married, so it is not appropriate to mention it."

Jia Min is Mother Jia's biological daughter, and Yingchun is raised by the old lady, so the old lady has the right to decide the marriage.

Although Jia Amnesty is a fool, he is filial to the old lady. As long as the old lady comes forward, it will be no problem for Yingchun to avoid Sun Shaozu's pit of fire.

Yingchun is a standard lady, with a gentle and considerate personality. His uncle's family background is not high. Without his relationship, it would be almost impossible to marry Yingchun.

But Yingchun married his cousin, definitely made a profit.

After all, if he doesn't marry his cousin, there is a high probability that he will be spoiled by Sun Shaozu in the future.

It is also a pity.

Hearing what Lin Yao said, Gu Fulan understood what he meant, "Then...I'll talk to my wife tomorrow."

"Well, go to sleep."

The next day, Gu Fulan went to Jia Min and mentioned the matter tactfully.

The Lin family and the Luo family have gotten pretty close over the years. Jia Min also knows a little about the nephews of the Luo family. Luo Wencheng is the most talented of the Luo family's literary generation. Not bad.

"If you don't mention it, I didn't think about it. Yingchun has indeed reached the age she should be." Jia Min recalled Yingchun's taciturn appearance yesterday, and sighed, "Good boy, it's hard for you to miss her."
