The eldest son of the concubine who crossed the red mansion

Chapter 22 The King Sees Wang Yuxuan vs the Prince

Lin Yuxuan came out from the other side of the silver building, and went to eat in the restaurant newly opened by his family.This restaurant is called Zuixianlou, they all eat Huaiyang cuisine, occasionally they will introduce some fresh dishes, the business is not bad.Lin Yuxuan didn't ask for a cubicle, but sat on the second floor by the window, listening to the guests' comments on the dishes while eating.

The restaurant is actually a good place, in addition to solving the problem of eating, it is also a meeting place for various news.The guests chatted here, and many secrets would be revealed without knowing it.At the feet of the emperor, any simple sentence often has a different meaning.

Lin Yuxuan lightly sipped the wine in his glass, the sweet and sour taste was very good.After two drinks, the wine jug containing fine wine was taken away by others.Lin Yuxuan raised his eyes, and saw that the visitor was wearing a round-neck robe with sapphire blue and floral satin with black borders, and a white jade pendant with dragon patterns on his waist. Looking up, he saw a bit of desolation in his handsome features, with slender phoenix eyes, thin lips.

The royal family of this dynasty advocates black and bright yellow, and black is the common color of the prince's regular clothes. Lin Yuxuan raised his eyebrows, stopped Lin Hui's choking, and said with a smile: "The visitor is a guest. Lin Hui, go and invite the shopkeeper An Accord, by the way, get a pot of Xinde roses to get drunk. My lord, please."

The man nodded slightly, followed Lin Yuxuan into the Accord.

"Go ask someone to deliver some side dishes to accompany wine, and then help me to buy a box of pastries at Shangshi Zhai on the East Street." Seeing Lin Hui was still a little unhappy. Although Lin Yuxuan knew that he was doing it for his own good, the person in front of him only Afraid that he was not an ordinary person, he simply sent him out.

"I made you laugh." Lin Yuxuan poured a glass of wine himself and put it in front of the man.

"No problem." The man took a sip of his wine, "You are Master Lin's son."

Lin Yuxuan noticed that there was no doubt in his words, so he knew that he had been investigated, so he smiled and said, "I am. I don't know how to call this master?"

"My surname is Tu, and I'm four." The man asked the person behind him to pour him another glass of wine.

"Then I'll call you the fourth master Tu." Tu is the surname of the country. This person is dressed in black clothes and wears a dragon pattern on his waist. He is also ranked fourth. That is the fourth prince born by the empress, Prince Qin Tu Qing Ze.A gleam of light flashed in Lin Yuxuan's eyes quickly: "I don't know what advice Fourth Master Tu has this time?"

"I just heard about it a little bit, so come and have a look." Tu Qingze picked up a small dish, ignoring the actions of the people behind him who wanted to help him test the poison, and put it into his mouth to taste carefully, "I just finished my work, but it's okay It’s too late to eat, these dishes are small and exquisite, but you can do business. It’s just that merchants are not what you should focus on, you just ask your servants to watch.”

"Fourth Master Tu is right," Lin Yuxuan picked out a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, "It doesn't matter whether it's just a merchant or an imperial examination, in my mind it's just a way to gain fame and wealth, just like Xue's family is an imperial merchant, but still Not the four major families? Since that is the case, why care about their dignity and humbleness."

"Master Lin is dedicated to the country, but you are different." Tu Qingze narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Lin Yuxuan with stern eyes.

Lin Yuxuan didn't change his face, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "So what if he is dedicated to the country? My father was loyal to protect the Lord, but in the end he was injured all over the body. What does a title cover up? I know better. In fact, Fourth Master Tu doesn't need to inquire like this, wise people don't speak in secret, it's better to speak directly if you have something to say. "

"Bold!" the attendant behind Tu Qingze shouted.

Lin Yuxuan raised his eyes and glanced at the attendant, then snorted.

"Dai Dong, you're rude." Tu Qingze's eyes darkened, "I'm talking to Mr. Lin, why are you interrupting?"

"Your servant is guilty." The attendant named Dai Dong shuddered and quickly lowered his head.

"You don't have to be angry, Fourth Lord Tu, he's just thinking about you." Lin Yuxuan realized that his cheeks were starting to heat up, and sighed secretly, but he really couldn't drink more, and then smiled and said: "Although my Lin family has been loyal to the country for generations, it's just Now that you have offended the powerful Fourteenth Prince, it is better to endure it for a while, so as to keep the whole family safe."

"You are very smart and know how to advance and retreat. You are indeed the son raised by Lord Lin." Tu Qingze untied the jade pendant from his waist, "You know who I am, and I also want to make you a friend. This jade pendant is a gift from me. Yes, if there is anything in the future, if I can help, just bring this jade pendant to me."

Lin Yuxuan toasted with the wine bottle, took the jade pendant away, and left on the pretext of having something to do.

"My lord is too polite to him." Dai Dong had served Tu Qingze since he was a child, and he had never seen him treat a person so gently.

"This son is definitely not something in the pool." Tu Qingze said meaningfully.People who can be at ease under his gaze will not be bad no matter what.Old Fourteen, Old Fourteen, do you know that if you offend the Lin family, it is equivalent to offending more than half of the big families in the south of the Yangtze River?

After Lin Yuxuan and Lin Hui met at Zuixian Tower, they rode back home.Just after throwing the riding whip to the guard at the gate, when she walked into the second gate, a mother came to report that Lin Daiyu had come back with red eyes and had been crying for a long time in the west courtyard.

Lin Yuxuan had someone call Xueyan, and asked, "What's going on today?"

Xueyan's chatterbox immediately opened up.It turned out that Lin Daiyu and Sanchun were chatting happily, and she was also happy because the pearl hairpin she gave was better than the palace flower of Miss Xue's family, but she didn't want the second master Bao from the Jia family to suddenly barge in.

"That Second Master Bao's mouth is very presumptuous, and he doesn't know how to shy away when he sees a girl. He even dares to reach out and grab the girl's wrist." Xue Yan said indignantly, if she hadn't knocked off Second Master Bao's hand in disregard of the rules, The girl's reputation is completely over!The servants of Jia's family are not very good, even knowing that the girl is in the green gauze closet, they don't know how to stop her, there are no rules and no distance!

"Jia Baoyu..." Lin Yuxuan lowered his eyes halfway, playing with the newly acquired jade pendant, "It's nothing more than an uncultivated thing."

"It's not the worst," Xueyan said. "This Second Master Bao is wearing a bright red robe, and there is a necklace hanging around his neck. You said, my wife is his real aunt, and it is reasonable to keep mourning for her nine times." Yuecai, why is she so ignorant of etiquette! The girl was so angry that she rushed back even without food, and she was sad for a long time by herself."

"People in Jia's family don't understand the rules, and it's not the first time." Lin Yuxuan said, "I asked Lin Hui to buy a box of pastries for the girl. You can take it now. Tell the girl, don't hurt someone who is not worth it." own body."

"Yes."

After Xueyan walked out, Lin Yuxuan called his other long follower, Mo Cheng, and asked, "Who is the most upright censor in this capital?"

Mo Cheng had already followed Lin Yuxuan's instructions to explore carefully in the capital, and when Lin Yuxuan asked, he said, "At present, the emperor's most trusted censor is Mr. Zhang. This person is from the same department as the master. Although he doesn't have a deep friendship, he is upright and upright. I have always had a hard time seeing injustice. What do you mean, sir?"

"In that case, what would Master Zhang do if he knew that the dignified Rongguo Mansion did not follow the national system to observe filial piety for the deceased aunt?" Lin Yuxuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"I'm afraid Mr. Zhang will be so angry that he will play the Emperor." Although Mo Cheng didn't grow up with Lin Yuxuan, he has studied Lin Yuxuan's movements and expressions very clearly, "Your servant knows what to do?"

"Then go down, be careful, don't let anyone find out." Jia Baoyu, I want to see, what will happen to you if your father is played because of you in the hall?

After Lin Yuxuan ordered Mo Cheng to go to work, he ignored him. He has been very busy recently.The business of the silver building is getting better and better, but at the same time, it has also attracted the envy of many merchants in the same industry; now several jewelry shops have also appeared similar to Qiaozhizhai. Although the workmanship is not as good as that of Qiaozhizhai, it is much cheaper. , but took away some customers.

"Master, there are two nuns outside, they are said to have come here under the orders of Master Disciple." Lin Hui came in and said.

"Oh." Lin Yuxuan raised his eyebrows, "Come in."

The two nuns were both wearing honey-colored clothes, combed their hair neatly, and straightened their backs. When they saw Lin Yuxuan coming, they squatted down and saluted together.

"Two sisters, please get up." Lin Yuxuan said with a smile, "I don't know if the fourth master called the sisters here for something?"

"Our master heard that Uncle Lin wanted to find some nuns to educate Miss Lin, so he sent his servants over, saying that they would be sent by Uncle Lin." One of the younger nuns replied with a smile. The smile was just right. Too flattering and not too cold.

"Oh, that's really timely. My sister is eight years old now, and it's time for me to learn the housekeeping rules. I have to thank the two nuns." Lin Yuxuan didn't know how Tu Qingze found out, but since he sent her , I just accept his affection, "Just forgive me for asking, where did the two nuns serve before? How should they be called?"

"The slaves and servants all served the concubine before, and they were released after the concubine died of illness." The same nun replied, "The servant's surname is Wen, and this is Sister An."

"Then I will have to trouble the two nuns. Baozhu, take the two nuns to the west courtyard and tell the girl that these are her nuns."

"Yes."

Lin Hui looked at the figures of the two nuns, and asked suspiciously: "What is the origin of this fourth master, that he can find the nuns who came out of the palace?"

"Usually you have forgotten what I taught you, right? That fourth master wears black clothes and is surnamed disciple. Where else can he be from? You were too rude that day. When I was in Hangzhou, I I said before that if a plaque is smashed down in Beijing, the royal relatives and relatives may be suppressed. It is reasonable to keep a low profile in everything, and you will remember it for me." Lin Yuxuan gave Lin Hui a sideways look, "If you don't have a long memory, when the time comes If something happens, even I can't keep you."

"Got it." Lin Hui rubbed his head.
