[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Qiao's force was a bit heavy, but Lin Jian didn't care. The pain in his heart was almost like being bitten by a mosquito. Qiao felt sorry for him and he rubbed him again, so Lin Jian let Qiao's go up.

He talked with his father for a while, and when he heard what he wanted to know, he smiled and said: "Father, mother, it's getting late, so I'll go back now. You guys have a good rest. I'll take care of the rest. It will be taken care of, parents don't have to worry about it."

Lin Hong didn't stay with Lin Jian, and let Lin Jian go by himself. He waited for Qiao Shi to wash up, and then rested.

Lin Jian had been busy for a day, but he couldn't meet Lin Daiyu. He missed Lin Daiyu in his heart, but he knew that Lin Daiyu must be exhausted after working with Qiao Shi so late, so he quietly went to Lin Daiyu's side and learned that Lin Daiyu really stopped.

He never bothered Lin Daiyu either, he only quietly called Zijuan out according to his original idea, and asked about Lin Daiyu's situation. He heard that Lin Daiyu was in good spirits and did not suffer from any illness today, but he was tired now, so he was relieved .

After instructing Zijuan and others to take good care of Lin Daiyu, Lin Jian quietly went back to his courtyard.

After two or three days like this, there was indeed an imperial decree from the Central Secretary of the court.

Emperor Chengsheng wanted to reward Lin Hong with the title of nobleman after Lin Hong stepped down as a general, but Lin Hong refused.At that time, because Emperor Chengsheng was constrained by the forces of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, there were many resistances in the government to his decrees. In order to maintain a balance with the forces of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, Emperor Chengsheng wanted to confer the title of Marquis Lin Hong.

The position of marquis is lower than that of the prince of the county kingdom, and Lin Hong has no military power in his hands. After his leg injury, he is almost useless. He does not pose any threat to the four kings and eight princes. Emperor Chengsheng wants to award Lin Hong to Marquis The four princes and eight princes have no objection to the position.

Even if Emperor Chengsheng personally ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a general's mansion for Lin Hong, no one in the court objected, and the four kings and eight princes never had any objections.

But at that time, Lin Hong was not willing to accept the reward from the Holy Emperor due to various reasons, so the matter was put on hold.

Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now the influence of the four kings and eight princes in the court is not as good as before, and Emperor Chengsheng no longer has to be manipulated by those forces as before, and his resistance in the court is also much smaller. Give Lin Hong a reward, even if Lin Hong is given a higher title than before, no one will say anything more.

Emperor Chengsheng gave Lin Jian the title of marquis that was originally intended to be awarded to Lin Hong, and now he rewards Lin Hong. Naturally, the father's title cannot be lower than that of his son. It is clearly written in the imperial decree of Emperor Chengsheng. Lin Hong was the Duke of Zhennan, awarded the title of Taifu to the prince, awarded the title of General Wu'an, and lived in the General's Mansion.

Lin Hong thus became the Duke of Zhennan, equal to the dukes of the four kings and eight princes, and the Qiao family became the wife of the Duke of Zhennan.

After finishing the follow-up work of Lin Hong's birthday banquet, the mansion began to prepare for the move non-stop.

After Chengsheng Emperor's imperial decree was promulgated, everything in the West Garden was almost packed.In fact, there are not too many things that need to be cleaned up. The furnishings here in the West Garden, except that everyone's favorite items are moved to the General's Mansion, the rest of the items and furniture are left here.

The General's Mansion was built by the Ministry of Industry, and all the regulations were built in accordance with the construction of the General's Mansion in the middle of the court. The furnishings in the mansion are more solemn, solemn and luxurious, which is naturally different from the comfortable style of leisurely flowers and plants in the West Garden.

Except for the July Festival every year, except for Uncle Wu and the Lin family guards in the general's mansion these years, Lin Hongqiao and others have never lived in the mansion in the past ten years. Sheng and Lin Daiyu went to the General's Mansion together.

After re-regulating the furnishings in the mansion and in each courtyard, they began to move from the West Garden.

Lin Hong's birthday banquet was over, and Lin Hong's daily practice of standing and walking was reduced, not as intensive as before. Lin Hong received the imperial decree and returned to the sight of everyone, and many people came to visit every day, Lin Hong didn't thank the guests behind closed doors as before, and sometimes he would see each other.Qiao's hands were free, and she took over the matter of moving.

Lin Yuan and Lin Liang haven't left the capital yet, they can still stay in the capital for a while, since they want to move back to the General's Mansion, their brothers also have to live in a courtyard in the General's Mansion.

It's just that Lin Yuan and Lin Liang are not free in the capital. After Lin Hong's birthday banquet, they haven't returned to the capital for a long time. Taking advantage of this time, relatives and old friends come to invite them, they naturally want to meet their old friends. There are also errands and official business to be dealt with, and Qiao's taking Sheng's to make arrangements for moving, and they don't bother them.

Lin Jian had discussed the plan with Lin Hong early in the morning, and it was within his expectation that Emperor Chengsheng issued the imperial decree. On the night after the imperial decree was promulgated, Lin Jian called Qian Ying to him.

"Now that the sage has issued a decree, the master has become Zhennan Gong, and our family is now on the cusp of the storm, and has become a figure on the cusp of the storm. Taking advantage of the heat, you can go and decorate it according to what I told you in advance. Still according to the previous arrangement, this time, we must let the rumors spread in the capital, just like they spread rumors about me behind my back."

Qian Ying was about to speak when he heard the words, but Lin Jian suddenly raised his eyes and waved his hands at him. He listened intently, he heard movement outside the house, it was someone coming.

Qian Ying pursed her lips and did not make a sound. After a while, Lin Liang came in from the outside wearing a long-wearing green shirt. Lin Jian heard Lin Liang's footsteps, immediately smiled at Lin Liang, and called him: "Second brother."

Lin Liang nodded, sat down in the room, and said softly, "I heard what you just said."

Lin Jian smiled and said, "I didn't intend to hide it from the second brother. The second brother is from my own family, so it's okay to hear."

Lin Liang glanced at him, and glanced at the dozens of military books scattered on his desk, and said softly: "It's not that you didn't want to hide it from me. You didn't want to hide it from the world. The rumors about you in recent days It's happening all over the place, as long as someone with a heart checks it out, you'll know that this rumor was created behind your back. Now you want to add another fire, are you determined to make the trouble known to everyone?"

Lin Jian laughed again: "Second Brother also knows about this, and Second Brother has quietly investigated me again?"

Lin Liang glanced at him and remained silent.

Where does he need to investigate this matter?Recently, when he got together with some relatives, neighbors and old friends, some people who were close to the Lin family were worried that the Lin family would be too popular and would be plotted against by others, and they knew through some channels what Lin Jian was doing behind the scenes, so they euphemistically mentioned it to Lin Liang.

Everyone couldn't understand Lin Jian's thoughts, but they always knew that Lin Jian's behavior was wrong. Lin Liang knew Lin Jian's intentions, but he didn't mention it to everyone. He also had other thoughts in private.

Lin Jian smiled, turned around and told Qian Ying a few more words, and then let Qian Ying go. Seeing Lin Liang's books on his desk, he smiled and said, "Mother wants to move, so the other things will be taken care of." Someone packed it up and moved it there for us. But these military books are my treasures, and I don’t want to ask others to clean them up, so I plan to pack them up myself, so I asked Qian Ying to send someone to transport them to the general’s mansion.”

Not only his books are like this, Lin Daiyu's books are also arranged in this way.

After Lin Jian said that, the group cleaned up the book of war, and the group laughed again, "Second brother is right, I didn't want to hide it from anyone. If I really wanted to hide it, no one can catch me, no one can find out See my tracks. I made these rumors in private, the reason is simple, I just use these rumors to force out the true face of the Holy Majesty. If it is true, I will lose. If it is urgent, it will hit me Get pregnant."

"If you don't go through this experience, you won't be able to do the next thing."

Lin Jian told Qian Ying to follow the plan.That is to tell him to continue to spread rumors outside, saying that Emperor Chengsheng ordered Lin Hong to be Zhennan Gong, that is, he made up his mind to support the Lin family, use the power of the Lin family to wipe out the power of the four princes and eight princes, and then replace him. Four kings and eight males became the new reliance of Emperor Chengsheng.

He also said that Lin Hong can stand and walk now, and now he is going to live in the General's Mansion. After that, Lin Hong will come back again. With Lin Hong's current status and body, he will come to the army again. He returned to serve in the Lingnan Army.

In a word, with the deliberate support of Emperor Chengsheng, the Lin family will rise in an all-round way.

Lin Liang sat quietly for a while, looked at Lin Jian for a while, and then slowly said: "You let out the rumors to test everyone's attitude, and also to test the holy will, your mind is not in front of the eyes, but this thing that confuses the public , someone has to do it for you. The crown prince sent people to the mansion several times, but you always refused to see him. You refused to let him get involved in this matter. He can't help you this time. It’s not that there is nothing, but this is our family’s own business, and it’s unreasonable to ask others to take risks out of emotion and reason.”

"Brother may not be able to keep up with your thoughts, and even if you ask him to do it, you won't be able to do it. You have already started the fire very well, why don't I add another fire for you."

Lin Jian held a stack of military books and smiled at Lin Liang: "Second brother, I have plotted against many people in this matter. Even the Holy Majesty got involved, but I didn't think about involving elder brother and you. This is what you want to join yourself, and it doesn't count on me."

Lin Liang's expression was always calm. Hearing Lin Jian's words, a three-pointed smile appeared in his calm eyes: "You sent someone to Lingnan to investigate the past, and you said it. If you have the heart, you won't be disturbed by any traces." I found it. But it just made me see some clues, you said, didn’t you mean it?”

Lin Jian just smiled and said nothing.

Lin Liang didn't ask any further questions, but just took something out of his sleeve and handed it to Lin Jian: "This is the memorabilia that I just wrote. Let me take a look and see if there are any omissions. When will you look at it?" If it is suitable, I will present it face-to-face.”

Lin Liang closed his eyes and smiled, and said calmly, "The magistrate is in charge of local government affairs, and as a rule, he doesn't care about military affairs. But now that this is happening, my memorandum is just right. He has been in charge of Lingnan military affairs for so many years, but he is also diligent and careful." , but you can always find something inappropriate. Even if you can't prove any crime, it can still disturb this pool of muddy water for you and help you."
