[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

The fact that Aunt Xue lowered her face and begged Lin Huaiyu for help spread throughout the Ning and Rong mansions without any accidents, and the servants of the two mansions talked a lot.However, at the same time, they discovered that Lin Huaiyu was more powerful than they had imagined.

Nanny Zhang and the others found that the servants of Ningrong and Rongfu had become more and more flattering towards them these days. At first they didn't know what was going on, but after they figured out what was going on, they were dumbfounded.

In the past two days, Sister-in-law Liu from the Rongguo Mansion's kitchen often came to look for Mammy Zhang, and brought a lot of food to Mammy Zhang and the others.

If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal!

Nanny Zhang and the others all took an attitude of refusing to accept the things sent by the people of the Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing that they failed to bribe Madam Zhang, the servants of Rongguo Mansion turned around and ran to find Wang Xifeng.

Ping'er was puzzled: "What's the matter these two days, why did everyone come here to show courteousness?" She thought for a while and said, "There is no big day recently, and there is no movement between the old lady and the wife."

Wang Xifeng sat on the couch, eating bird's nest leisurely.

"Say you're smart, but sometimes you're stupid. Say you're stupid, but sometimes you're smart."

Ping'er humbly asked for advice: "Grandma please advise."

"They came to beg me for Cousin Lin." After eating the bird's nest, Wang Xifeng handed the bowl and spoon to Ping'er. "They want to send their daughter and son to Cousin Lin to serve them."

When Ping'er heard this, he immediately realized what was going on.

"It turns out that they were planning this idea, but there is no shortage of people to wait on Master Lin's side."

Wang Xifeng said meaningfully: "The number of people who serve you will only be too few, not too many." After finishing speaking, she smiled ambiguously, "Cousin Lin will grow up in a few years, do you need a room around me?" girl?"

"Grandma is still wise, but their wishful thinking is wrong." Ping'er said, "Before, when Master Lin and the others first arrived, the old lady sent someone to serve Master Lin and the others, but Master Lin refused. I Seeing how Young Master Lin despises the maids and servants in the house."

"It's really what you said. Cousin Lin really doesn't like the maids and servants in our house." Wang Xifeng frowned and said, thinking of the gossiping servants in the mansion, "To Lin Biao Brother, the maids and servants in our house are too unruly."

"Grandma, to be fair, the mothers, maids, and servants around Young Master Lin are really much better than those in our house." Ping'er had dealt with Peilan and the others before, and they were really well-behaved. Little mistake.

"Although the Lin family is no longer the Marquis's Mansion, they have been a scholarly family for generations." Wang Xifeng said, "Scholarly families are the most particular about rules and etiquette. You can see that from Cousin Lin."

"These people probably came up with this idea because of Aunt Xue's incident." Ping'er couldn't figure it out at first, but after hearing Wang Xifeng's words, she immediately figured it out, and also figured out the ins and outs of this matter .

Wang Xifeng joked, "Why did you become smart all of a sudden?"

"Grandma will make fun of me." Ping'er asked, "Grandma, what are you going to do?"

Wang Xifeng leaned on the couch, propped her face with her right hand, and said with a smile, "I won't do anything." After speaking, she opened her mouth and yawned, "They came to ask me to do something, but I didn't promise them anything. "For Wang Xifeng, this advantage is not in vain.

Ping'er understood what Wang Xifeng meant, and said with a smile, "Grandma is wise."

"By the way, you can send some things to Nanny Zhang tomorrow." Wang Xifeng thought that she could take advantage this time because of Lin Huaiyu's blessing, so she should send some things over due to the situation and reason.

"Okay, I'll send some things over tomorrow." Ping'er thought of what Aunt Xue asked Lin Huaiyu to do before, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Grandma, do you think Aunt Xue asked Master Lin to do what Aunt Xue asked him to do?"

Wang Xifeng said firmly, "No."

"Can't?" Seeing Wang Xifeng speak so decisively, Ping'er was confused, "Grandma, why can't you?"

"Why does Master Ye speak well of Baochai because of Cousin Lin?" Wang Xifeng could see clearly, "Cousin Lin has nothing to do with the Xue family."

"Then Aunt Xue is begging the wrong person."

"She really has no choice, so she wants to be a dead horse doctor." Wang Xifeng was right, and Aunt Xue had no choice, so she asked Lin Huaiyu for help. "From the very beginning, I felt that Baochai would not be selected, even if she passed the primary election."

"Grandma, why is this?" Ping'er didn't understand, "Miss Xue is beautiful, gentle and quiet, dignified and stable. She has a great possibility of being selected."

"This is to choose escorts for the princess and princess, not for the emperor." Wang Xifeng said sharply, "Choosing escorts for princesses and princesses is not only based on appearance and character, but also family background. Don't say The Xue family is not good, even our family is worse, otherwise Yuan Chun will not have no good news after entering the palace for so many years."

"Isn't Aunt Xue a waste of effort?" Ping'er sighed a little, "I see Aunt Xue attaches great importance to this draft."

Wang Xifeng sighed softly: "I hope Baochai can be selected." After finishing speaking, she thought of Qin Keqing, and immediately sat up straight, "Let's go to the next door to see." Thinking that Qin Keqing's body has not improved, she The mood became very heavy.

Seeing Wang Xifeng coming, Qin Keqing felt better and talked to her for a while.

Wang Xifeng kept persuading Qin Keqing to think about it, saying that her illness could be cured, but Qin Keqing said that her illness would not be cured, which made Wang Xifeng feel very uncomfortable.

When she was in Qin Keqing's room, she tried her best not to cry.When she walked out of Qin Keqing's room, she couldn't help crying anymore.

Mother Jia has always been concerned about Qin Keqing's body. When she learned that Wang Xifeng had visited Qin Keqing, she called Wang Xifeng over and asked her carefully about Qin Keqing's situation.

Wang Xifeng didn't hide anything from Jia's mother, but told the truth that Qin Keqing's condition is not very good, and she might not last long.

When Jia Mu heard this, she felt a little uncomfortable, and asked Wang Xifeng to visit Qin Keqing more often.

When Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu came back from Ye Mansion, they heard that Qin Keqing was seriously ill.

"I heard that the next door is already quietly preparing for the funeral." Madam Zhang said, "Master, we also need to prepare some sacrifices."

"Mother Zhang, get ready."

"I'm going to buy some sacrifices tomorrow." Madam Zhang said something about Qin Keqing, and then told Lin Huaiyu about other things.

After listening to Nanny Zhang, Lin Huaiyu took Xiao Daiyu to the study.Before reviewing his homework, he called Liu Jinu in.

"What about the thing I asked you to watch?"

"Master, I found out that the second grandma and the others sent people to several pawnshops to pawn things." Liu Jinu respectfully reported, "The second grandma and the others pawn different things every time, and what they pawn now are jewelry and jewelry. There are things like vases, and there are no things like calligraphy and painting."

Lin Huaiyu said thoughtfully: "So, my sister-in-law and the others don't have valuable calligraphy and paintings in their hands."

"Master, Second Master Lian is not a scholar, how could he have calligraphy and painting."

"I don't think Cousin Lian has any, but there should be in Rongguo Mansion." Lin Huaiyu pinched his chin and said, "It seems that all the calligraphy, paintings and books collected by Rongguo Mansion are with Second Uncle."

"Brother, if you want books and paintings, can't you just go to the bookstore and buy them?" Xiao Daiyu tilted her head and looked at her brother suspiciously, "Why did you let Liu Jinu stare at my cousin and the others?" when?"

"Silly sister, the books and calligraphy and paintings sold in the bookstore are very ordinary. What I want to collect are ancient books and ancient calligraphy and paintings." Lin Huaiyu said with a smile, "Like ancient books and ancient calligraphy and paintings, they are only collected by aristocratic families."

"Brother, don't we have a lot of ancient books and ancient calligraphy and paintings at home?"

"Not enough, I want to collect more ancient books and ancient calligraphy and paintings." Lin Huaiyu has never forgotten his task of collecting books and calligraphy and paintings, "Books and calligraphy and paintings collected by aristocratic families are generally not passed on to the outside world, let alone bought. "He thought that Wang Xifeng and the others would secretly pawn books, calligraphy and paintings, but he didn't expect that.It seems that all the books in Rongguo Mansion are in Jia Zheng's place.

Although Jia Zheng said that he could go to his place to get books to read at any time, he didn't want to give them to him.He had to tell Jia Lian that books, calligraphy and paintings were also very valuable, and asked them to find a way to "steal" books from Jia Zheng and pawn them.

"Liu Jinu, come here." Lin Huaiyu quickly thought of an idea and whispered something in Liu Jinu's ear.

After Liu Jinu heard this, he nodded again and again: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely handle the matter well."

Lin Huaiyu nodded, and then asked Liu Jinu to retreat.

"Brother, what did you tell Liu Jinu?"

"Let him do one thing." Lin Huaiyu winked at his sister, "I can't tell you now, I'll tell you when it succeeds."

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news from my brother."

"Let's do our homework."

In the past two days, Jia Lan was ill, so he did not come to Jinhuatang to ask Lin Huaiyu for advice.Jia Baoyu was with Qin Zhong these few days, so he didn't bother Lin Huaiyu.

Qin Zhong's father caught a cold, Qin Zhong went back to Qin's house to take care of his father, and did not stay in Rongguo Mansion.Jia Baoyu went to Qin Zhong's house every day these few days, leaving early and returning late.

After reviewing their homework, the siblings began to practice composing poems.Ever since Song Xiuwen told her to compose poems well, Lin Huaiyu has been carefully reading poetry collections and practicing composing poems and lyrics every day.He also often discusses with Xiao Daiyu.

The hard work paid off, and his efforts during this period were not in vain, and the level of poetry and lyrics has risen a bit.

After practicing writing poems, Lin Huaiyu thought about the pawn shop again.If he has his own pawn shop, it will be much more convenient to collect ancient books, calligraphy and paintings.However, opening a pawn shop is not an easy task, but it is much easier to open a shop that specializes in collecting books, calligraphy and paintings.

Speaking of which, their Lin family didn't have any business in the capital, but they did have a lot of business in Yangzhou and Gusu.In the future, their family may settle in the capital, and their living expenses will definitely be much higher than in Yangzhou. In order for their family to live well in the capital, they have to do some business in the capital to make money.

Doing business has to be discussed with his father. Lin Huaiyu had an idea in his heart, and immediately wrote a letter to Lin Ruhai.

After waiting for a few days, he rested, and then went to the capital to take a good look around to see if there was any business to do.

Lin Huaiyu told Ye Wenfu about his idea of ​​doing business in the capital.After hearing this, Ye Wenfu felt that his idea was right.

"What business do you want?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I want to go and see it in a few days."

"Look first, and tell me when the time comes." Ye Wenfu did not discourage Lin Huaiyu's idea of ​​doing business, nor did he directly tell him what kind of business is better, but let him think first.His way of educating Lin Huaiyu is to make him think more. "By the way, your aunt will bring you and Xiao Daiyu into the palace tomorrow."

"Enter the palace?" Lin Huaiyu was startled by these words, "Why did my aunt bring me and my sister into the palace?"

"Tomorrow, the empress will hold a flower appreciation feast in the palace, and invited many women to attend." Ye Wenfu said, "The empress personally ordered your aunt to take you and Xiao Daiyu to attend."

"Ah?" Lin Huaiyu was shocked, "The empress knows me and my sister?"

"Song Xiuwen mentioned you in front of the emperor." Ye Wenfu continued, "You and Xiao Daiyu don't go back to Rongguo Mansion today, and go to the palace with your aunt early tomorrow morning."
