[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian laughed when he heard Xiao Yu's words: "The imperial concubine has always loved Princess Yuanjia. Even if she wanted to marry the princess to someone who knows everything, why did she think of me? The imperial concubine knows my temperament, and I am the most shameless person." A person who doesn't follow the rules, marrying the princess to me, I'm afraid it's wronging Princess Yuanjia."

Concubine Yu was born in a family of scholars and officials, and her father is Yu Tingjun, the current Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yu Guifei is the eldest daughter of Yu Tingjun, who was brought up by Yu Tingjun himself since childhood.A woman from the Zanying family, dignified, noble, elegant and refined, even when the queen was alive, Concubine Yu was quite favored in the palace.

In order to balance the Chinese, Chinese and military forces in the court, and to add some weight to the civil servants, Concubine Yu was the concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and she became a concubine a few years later. Palace affairs have become the existence of the same deputy queen.

Lin Jian bullied Xiao Yu when he was a child, the two boys fought nonsense every day, Concubine Yu watched it, but she never said much, even when Lin Jian and Xiao Yu got seriously injured in the fight, Concubine Yu also He didn't say anything, but took care of Xiao Yu personally, and even sent someone to the Lin's house to deliver medicine to Lin Jian.

At first, Lin Jian thought that Concubine Yu Gui was just pretending to be gentle and virtuous, but after getting in touch with her gradually year after year, Lin Jian discovered that Concubine Yu Gui is really a woman with a gentle personality, a good understanding of the general situation and a sense of the overall situation.

She is well aware of the frailty of the civil officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the close relationship between Emperor Chengsheng and his father Lin Hong, the childish nature of him at that time, and the painstaking efforts of Emperor Chengsheng to let Lin Jian be Xiao Yu's companion, so , she is tolerant, she is open-minded, she even accepts him and his rampant, domineering, rebellious and wanton without any grievances.

Later, Lin Jian gradually understood Concubine Yu's good intentions, and truly felt Concubine Yu's sincere love for him. He and Xiao Yu became closer and closer, and at the same time, he respected Concubine Yu more and more.

He was thinking, how could such a smart and transparent Concubine Yu Gui not see that she was not a good match for Princess Yuanjia at all?

Xiao Yu smiled faintly: "You have no rules. But your Lin family protects the weak. If Yuan Jia can be your family's daughter-in-law, she will be reliable for life in the future."

"What's more, the concubine mother and Yuanjia are always together, so she is very clear about her daughter's thoughts. This girl has always just scolded you in front of you, and obediently called you Brother Lin behind her back. Since I left the palace to build a mansion, this girl has always I haven't mentioned you for more than a year, as if I didn't have you. Later, I don't know when this girl first fell in love, and she would often talk to her mother and concubine about her childhood. After you and I left the palace, the palace was much quieter. No one is taking this girl around anymore, her life is dull and boring, and the only thing I can recall is the seven years of mischief."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Yuan Jia really treats me like her own brother, so naturally she can't tolerate you bullying me like that. But even though she scolded you fiercely when she was young, you never spoke back or beat her. I was very dismissive, but I always like to toss me when I look back. The concubine mother said, you are domineering and arrogant, but you will love girls. The concubine mother looked at you, you are a match made in heaven. The Lin family is not in the way, let alone what you want to do. What's more, our Great Zhou Dynasty is different from the previous dynasty. Without the Lord's son-in-law, we can't go into politics. The two of you grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so you are actually quite a suitable pair."

Lin Jian's gaze was very light, without too many ups and downs in his eyes, even though the seven years he spent in the palace when he was young was aroused by his nonsense, now it was just a superficial glint in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I have always treated Princess Yuanjia as a princess. I have no other thoughts."

He treated Princess Yuanjia as a princess of a country, and when the princess scolded him, he didn't reply.He dared to beat Xiao Yu, and he dared to make trouble with Xiao Yu so that he would not be a companion in the palace. He had never had any enmity with Princess Yuanjia, and it was irrelevant to scold her, so naturally he would not do unnecessary things.

As for hurting girls, that's just Concubine Yu's own unilateral idea.

Xiao Yu wasn't surprised by this answer, but he still didn't give up, and asked, "You don't treat Yuan Jia as your younger sister? Not at all?"

Lin Jian shook his head.

His father, Lin Hong, had no siblings, he only had two elder brothers, and he had no cousins ​​in the Lin family.Even though Mrs. Qiao has brothers and sisters, it is a coincidence that among the same generation of the Qiao family, he does not have a cousin, but has a lot of cousins.

A princess is a princess, how can he treat the princess as a younger sister?

Xiao Yu sighed lightly: "Although my concubine asked Yuan Jia politely, she never meant to force you. Although Yuan Jia is young, she has been with her concubine all year round, and the past two years are not like when she was a child. If that's the case, she doesn't mean to force you. Otherwise, she won't be bored for several months. She just wants to ask you what you mean. If you don't mean it, she won't pester you. In fact, you are the same It's good to see her once and make it clear."

"It's just that, Xiao Jian, I think Yuan Jia is really tempted. Otherwise, you two will give it a try, maybe it will work?"

Lin Jian glanced at Xiao Yu indifferently: "Last year, the imperial concubine wanted to marry for His Highness, and privately set his sights on the daughter of General Zhenbei for His Highness, but His Highness was unwilling and decided to marry the daughter of Min Hui, a scholar in charge of the Imperial Academy. I still remember that His Highness said that Min Hui's daughter was beautiful and dignified, and you said that you like this kind of woman the most. Seeing that His Highness has something to belong to, His Royal Highness finally agreed, and His Highness was able to marry Min Hui's daughter."

"At that time, His Highness's insistence on going his own way, I could see it clearly even in southern Anhui. Why did His Highness himself not try it with the daughter of General Zhenbei at that time, but asked me to try it with Princess Yuanjia?"

"Your Highness is someone who has experienced it. You should know that in this world, the word "feeling" cannot be forced. Your Highness can't do it by himself, so don't force me."

Speaking of which, Xiao Yu really loved the Ninth Prince and Concubine.Concubine Yu was very strict with Xiao Yu. Before reaching the crown, there were no concubine women around Xiao Yu.Later, when Ji Guan was old enough to get married, Xiao Yu immediately fell in love with Min Hui's daughter, Min Junyao.

Since the two got married, Xiao Yu has only had this concubine by his side. Even though Min Junyao is pregnant, Xiao Yu has never touched other women.Xiao Yu really has a deep understanding of the undivided feeling of treating his lover once he is in love with him.

"That's it."

Xiao Yu said, "You have said so, and I have no reason to force you. You will be busy with the affairs of the procuratorate in the future, and you don't know when you will be free to enter the palace. Later, I will find an opportunity to explain to my concubine and let her Tell Yuan Jia not to miss you. There are so many outstanding talents in the left and right courts, she can choose anyone else, and she doesn't have to think about you anymore."

"It's just Xiaojian, you are about to reach the crown. Your elder brother and second brother are both married after reaching the crown. If you have such an idea, you may not be willing to listen to the arrangement of old general Lin and his wife. You also plan for yourself. Plan, if you really meet a girl you like, you will explain it to Old General Lin in advance. Otherwise, with your background and status, you are now valued by your father, and there will be many people watching your marriage from top to bottom. Someone ran to ask for a marriage from the emperor's imperial decree, you won't be able to go back on your word!"

Hearing this, Lin Jian smiled lightly. Seeing that the rain outside was gradually subsiding, he got up and walked to the window, looked at the sky outside, and walked back to the table. After replacing the burned out candles, he looked at Xiao Yu with a smile when the lights in the room were a little brighter.

"Your Highness, I happen to have some private matters that I would like your Highness to help with. Don't worry, Your Highness, it's just a small matter. For Your Highness, it's nothing more than a simple matter."

Xiao Yu asked him what happened.

Lin Jian told him with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but patted his thigh, and said in amazement, "Oh, no wonder you were indifferent when I mentioned Yuan Jia! It turns out that you have your own heart!"

"I saw you put so much effort into that girl from the Lin family, and you thought it was all because of that account book. So you have ulterior motives! Since you have a crush on her, just tell Old General Lin to ask someone to go to the Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage. That is, what are you going to spend all your time on now? Wouldn’t it be better for you to marry him back and keep him by your side and pamper him?”

Lin Jian said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't know. She is a bit sensitive, and I don't want to offend her. What's more, the current situation...she is in her filial piety, I don't want to mention it, because I don't want her to think that I am taking advantage of others." danger."

Lin Jian smiled shyly for the first time, "I'm still not sure what she thinks about me. I think, it's all about one person and I will. If she doesn't want to, I can't force her." .I haven’t had time to mention this matter to my father. It’s not good for her reputation to speak out about such a thing that hasn’t been written yet. When I find a suitable time, I will naturally tell my father and mother.”

Xiao Yu glanced at Lin Jian with a smile: "I know, you are not willing to force her, but now you are trying every means to abduct the beauty's heart!"

Lin Jian squinted his eyes and smiled, but he didn't deny it, but solemnly bowed to Xiao Yu: "Your Highness, please help me."

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and pulled him over to sit down, and said with a smile: "You said it too, it's just a matter of raising your hands, it's rare for you to speak, why should I not help you?"

Lin Jian thanked Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu waved his hand, and reminded Lin Jian in a soft voice: "This Miss Lin is also a descendant of the family. Although Lin Ruhai is gone, Lin Ruhai's inheritance is now in her hands. Among them, those who stare at her, stare at her." There are quite a few people who hold the money in her hands. Moreover, as far as I know, she and Jia Baoyu from Rongguo Mansion have a very close relationship. The two grew up together. Granddaughter matches her own grandson, since you have the heart, you have to act quickly."

"Otherwise, an innocent girl from an aristocratic family will really sink deeper and deeper into the mud of Rongguo Mansion."
