The eldest son of the concubine who crossed the red mansion

"I heard that you and the emperor's brother have known each other for a long time, right?" Prince Gong Tu Qingchen is the thirteenth son of the Supreme Emperor, and he has the best relationship with Tu Qingze, "The emperor's brother thinks of you well."

"It's just that I met the emperor by chance in the Zuixian Tower, and I'm grateful for the favor of the emperor." Lin Yuxuan heard that this prince has the most easy-going temper, and he is also very forthright. There is a difference between honor and inferiority, but I dare not be presumptuous.

"You speak politely, like an old man. I really can't tell that you are a teenager." Tu Qingchen curled his lips, "I tasted it from the emperor's brother, and the roses in your Drunken Fairy Building taste very drunk. That’s right, I’m going to go to those altars at that time, you ask your shopkeeper to get ready.”

"It turns out that the lord likes to get drunk with roses, so I just need to ask someone to prepare me." Lin Yuxuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "There are several kinds of good wine in the restaurant of the minister. Order people to prepare, the prince can try one by one."

"Okay." Tu Qingchen patted Lin Yuxuan on the shoulder heartily, "Speaking of which, you are also from a family of literati, why do you want to open a restaurant?"

"Although people in the world say that 'scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce are the last things', I feel that as long as you are talented, you can show your talent anywhere. And the restaurant is just a contribution to the family." Lin Yuxuan said , "At that time, Weichen kept his filial piety at home, and the affairs of Zuixianlou were all watched by the servants in the mansion, and Weichen only came up with an idea occasionally."

Tu Qingchen said, "That's because you managed well."

Lin Yuxuan smiled, but did not remain humble.

When they arrived at the Suzheng Hall, they saw Tu Qingze sitting there in ordinary clothes waiting.Tu Qingchen raised his eyebrows, it was rare to see his elder brother not immersed in reviewing the memorial, he walked forward, cupped his hands and said, "My younger brother pays respects to the elder brother of the emperor."

Lin Yuxuan also raised his official robe and knelt down, "My humble servant pays his respects to the emperor."

"Get up." Tu Qingze seemed to be in a good mood today, and after asking someone to sit down, he said to Tu Qingchen, "Thirteenth brother hasn't entered the palace for a long time, if I didn't ask someone to tell you that I have good wine here , I’m afraid you don’t want to enter the palace either. Fortunately, the concubine has been reading, but Shuyi has been by the concubine’s side all the time.”

"My brother recently got a rare thing, and I put it in the mansion to play with, and I can't bear to come out. I ask the emperor's brother to forgive me." Tu Qingchen said bluntly, "But it's my brother's fault after all. Go ask An to make an apology."

"My concubine loves you the most, and your witty mouth will definitely make her happy." Tu Qingze said, "I called you here today because I wanted to ask you, Shuyi is getting older, and you Have you ever thought about who to discuss with her?"

"Brother Shuyi is raised by Brother Huang, so it's up to Brother Huang to make the decision." Tu Qingchen replied with lowered eyelids.Shuyi is his eldest daughter, although she is not the daughter of his first wife, but she is his first daughter. Later, when his imperial brother ascended the throne, he raised several princesses from the prince's family into the palace, so he rarely saw each other again. Here comes the daughter.

Lin Yuxuan didn't know what he came here for, so he curled up and lowered his head, hugging his teacup and muttering silently: I can't hear anything...

Tu Qingchen frowned, seeing Lin Yuxuan's appearance, he had a flash of inspiration, and asked, "Shidu Lin, are you engaged?"

Lin Yuxuan looked at Tu Qingchen in a daze, and then said after a long while: "Not yet, it's just..."

"That's fine." Tu Qingchen interrupted Lin Yuxuan, turned to Tu Qingze and said, "My brother thinks that Lin Shi's study is good, if the emperor's brother allows, I can marry Shuyi to Lin Shi's study. "

Lin Yuxuan was a little stunned, why did it suddenly come to him.He quickly stood up and said: "Thanks to the favor of the prince, but the humble minister's status is humble, how can he be worthy of the princess's celestial appearance?"

However, Tu Qingze was carefully considering this possibility.Although the Lin family is now in decline, it has always been a scholarly family of civil servants since the founding of the country. Although Lin Yuxuan is young and has a low official position, he is a talent that can be made. As long as he exercises more, he can shine like a pearl.Moreover, Tu Qingze knew that although his father had covered up Lin Ruhai's assassination, he was afraid that everyone who was an official in the court knew something of the inside story, and everyone had a sense of resentment in their hearts.If the Lin family is favored now, it can somewhat avoid the dissatisfaction of the literati family with the court.

Seeing that his imperial brother was thinking, Tu Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't ask his daughter to marry a wealthy family, but only asked her to be safe and happy.Lin Yuxuan was the talent that his imperial brother liked, and it would not be a disadvantage to marry such a person.Although Tu Qingze has no intention of fighting for power, he also knows that his imperial brother is suspicious. Instead of marrying his daughter to a rich family, it would be better to marry a seventh-rank official.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen's father has made an agreement with Dean Qin of the Hangzhou Academy to have the youngest daughter of the Qin family after the beginning of spring. I thank the emperor for his kindness, but..." Lin Yuxuan never thought that he could become a princess. It's kind of hard to imagine for him.In his impression, the girls in the palace are all arrogant, and he doesn't want his wife to be an arrogant girl.

"Isn't it still settled?" Tu Qingchen said with a smile, "As long as it doesn't damage the reputation of that daughter's family."

Tu Qingze had already recovered from his thoughts. Seeing Lin Yuxuan's embarrassed face, he smiled and said, "This matter is not urgent for now. Thirteenth brother, go and see the concubine first."

Tu Qingchen knew that his elder brother had something to tell Lin Yuxuan, so he saluted and left.

Lin Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I don't know what the emperor called the humble minister for?"

"I heard that someone from the Xue family went to the Yinlou to make trouble?" Tu Qingze talked about an irrelevant matter.

"Yes." This happened a long time ago, Lin Yuxuan was a little confused, so he could only respond first. "The only son of the Xue family committed a murder in Jinling, but somehow he was released. Nowadays, it is common for the Jia family to run amok in Beijing. But I have already found someone to teach him a good lesson."

"The Xue family and the Jia family have always been at odds with each other," Tu Qingze said in a cold voice, "If someone goes to Dali Temple to sue, how will they deal with it?"

Lin Yuxuan suddenly had an idea: the emperor is going to attack the Xue family!

"Wei Chen understands."

As soon as Lin Yuxuan returned to the mansion, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Lin Ruhai, stating what the emperor said today.Lin Ruhai's reply was quick, and he only said that he would stop discussing marriage with the Qin family first, and told Lin Yuxuan to think of a perfect plan before doing anything to Xue Pan, and that this matter must be done seamlessly.Lin Yuxuan naturally understood this truth.After careful consideration, he called Mo Cheng, whispered a few words in his ear, and then sent him out.

Lin Yuxuan picked up the teacup and looked at the steaming smoke, his face became blurred by the smoke.

Madam Wang looked at the money on the ledger, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.This method of giving interest money is really good. It can make money with interest in a short period of time. It's a pity that Wang Xifeng is not close to her now, so he can only rely on himself and those servants of Zhou Rui's family. It would be even better if a few people were brought in.

Before Mrs. Wang woke up from the intoxication full of money, Aunt Xue came in in a hurry and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, you have to help me! Brother Pan, I was in trouble all night last night. I didn’t come back, not even the servants around me, sister, please find someone to help me find it!”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked Zhou Rui's family to put away the account books, pulled Aunt Xue to her side and sat down to comfort her: "Speak slowly, what's going on?"

"I don't know either." Aunt Xue's face was very haggard, "It's not that Brother Pan never tried not to come back at night, but usually he would let someone come back to inform, but last night I waited until the second half of the night and no one came back .I also asked someone to visit some of the places he frequented, but there was no sign of him.”

"Probably got drunk and went to rest elsewhere. Don't worry, I'll ask someone to look for it later." Mrs. Wang frowned. She didn't have a big opinion of this nephew. For the sake of my sister, she helped him clean up the mess several times; later, he was cheated out of thousands of taels of silver, and it was she who helped him with the idea of ​​disposing of the batch of pearls.It's just that this nephew is so unbelievable that she really has nothing to say.

"Brother Lian knows a lot of people, help me tell him to look for it. I only have such a son, and I'm afraid that he will cause some trouble if he makes a mistake. If it's true, tell me to leave How will I face the master after Jiuquan?" Aunt Xue broke down a bit, tears streaming down her face.

Mrs. Wang said: "Don't think about it too much." Her sister spoiled her son, and that's why so many things happened.If you were willing to be ruthless and educate yourself at the beginning, why would you need to work so hard on yourself?Mrs. Wang thought of her precious jade again. Compared with Xue Pan, who is ineffective, her precious jade is simply smart and sensible, and she will surely have great fortune in the future!

Not half an hour later, Xue Pan came back drunk with a few servants.It turned out that Xue Pan went to a newly opened tavern in the capital to drink with some wine and meat friends, and after getting half drunk, he went to the brothel to look for flowers and women, and didn't come out until midnight.Then I went to a dandy suburban Zhuangzi to continue having fun, completely forgetting that my mother was waiting at home.

Aunt Xue wanted to slap Xue Pan, but she couldn't bear it.He could only heave a sigh of relief by ordering someone to boil water to make hangover soup, and to ask Xiangling Haosheng to take care of Xue Pan.

Xue Baochai saw that her brother had returned safely, so she hurriedly helped Aunt Xue back to her room, poured a cup of tea for Aunt Xue to drink, and said, "Mom, can you rest assured now? I said that brother will be fine. Didn't she stay here a few times..." After all, Xue Baochai is her daughter's home, and some outrageous words can't be said, "Mom is concerned, and it will be messed up."

"It's not that you don't know your brother. It will be too late if something happens." Aunt Xue started to feel sleepy after she relaxed, "Fortunately, nothing happened."

"Mom, are you tired? Let me help you to rest." Xue Baochai sighed softly after helping Aunt Xue to sleep, and took Yinger away.She has to go to her aunt to thank her for her help today.
