[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

When Lin Hong heard Lin Jian mention Xiao Yu, Lin Hong's eyes became deeper and deeper: "King Zhao?"

"Will His Highness King Zhao be different? Even if he is on good terms with you now, will he be able to treat you forever if he becomes a prince and emperor in the future?"

"Yunxi, it's true that you have a bond with a child, but if this bond with a child meets the heart of a king in the future, do you think this bond can be won in the long run?"

Lin Jian suppressed the playful look on his face, and looked at Lin Hong seriously and said, "Father, when you followed the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty was already the Son of Heaven. When my son followed His Highness Zhao Wang, His Highness Zhao Wang was just a baby. My son doesn't know if the friendship from childhood can last forever. My son only knows that His Royal Highness King Zhao is different from the Holy One. Whether it is birth or temperament, they are all different. If you don't believe me, just look back, your son's vision has always been different. Poor."

Lin Hong pondered for a moment, and then said: "You have your own ideas, and father will not interfere with you. Anyway, it is your own plan, even if I say no, you will not listen to it if you think about it. Since you have predicted the future , I will naturally pay attention to you. It’s just that after this period, you should rest for a few days and take a breath.”

Lin Jian laughed when he heard the words: "Dad, don't worry, after this period, there will naturally be someone in the court who wants to deal with the aftermath. I can take a break during this time. But after that, it's hard to say."

After talking about this with Lin Hong, Lin Jian took Lin Daiyu back to rest.I have to stay up late at night to watch the New Year, so I naturally have to take advantage of the afternoon to have a good rest.

After Lin Jian left, Lin Hong fell into deep thought.Qiao didn't interrupt Lin Hong's deep thinking, but waited for Lin Hong to ask for tea after deep thinking, and she asked Lin Hong softly when she was handing the tea cup.

"Master, what charades are you playing with Yunxi?"

Lin Jian wanted to install a machine for Lin Hong, hoping that he could stand up in the future, and asked Qiao to understand.It's just that Lin Hong's later words made Qiao feel that Lin Hong had some deep meaning. After thinking about it for herself, Qiao understood a little bit, but Qiao couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Jian's gourd.

She asked Lin Hong, he said that Lin Jian was plotting against him, what was plotting against him.

Lin Hong knew that it wasn't that Mrs. Qiao couldn't think of the answer, but that what he said to Lin Jian was vague, and Mrs. Qiao didn't think of that aspect for a while.

Lin Hong drank the overheated tea and put down the cup, then looked at Mrs. Qiao and said slowly: "After this incident, Yunxi will also encounter the same thing as me. If I can stand up, the Holy Majesty will be more or less afraid, and it will also be a layer of protection for Yunxi. However, this matter needs to be kept secret until it is done, and it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary."

When Lin Hong had an accident, Mrs. Qiao stayed by Lin Hong's side every step of the way.He is very clear about the fact that Lin Hong wanted to install the computer and then stand up.

When she heard Lin Hong's words, her expression froze: "Although there was no evidence to prove that person was responsible for that incident back then. But the craftsman died strangely. Not only you, they also investigated secretly, but they couldn't find anything. Come out. I just heard you father and son talking about this, and I felt it was inappropriate. If he really found out about it, I’m afraid it would be another accident. After all, this knot is still unresolved, and you just avoided talking about it.”

Lin Hong said lightly: "Through the past few years, I was in a different situation than I am now. At that time, he was staring at me. Even if he stepped back, I had to stay honest. These years are much better. In fact, apart from This, and others, of course I have nothing to say. But if in the past, someone uses this incident to plot against Yunxi, if he uses this suspicion on Yunxi, I can't bear it."

Qiao's back then was very supportive of Lin Hong's use of the machine box to stand up, but later the craftsman who made the machine box had an accident, and this plan ran aground, and Qiao's had to give up.

Seeing that Lin Jian had a heart, Lin Hong let go again. She was very happy and very supportive.

"Speaking of which, Yunxi today is not comparable to you back then. Even if that person really used his suspicion on Yunxi, it may not end up like you. Yunxi knows this very well. Besides, I think, let's He couldn't solve this predicament back then, but Yunxi might not be unable to solve it himself. Look at the few times he set up tricks after he entered the capital, it's not all nonsense."

As Qiao said, she lowered her voice, "Regardless of his friendship with King Zhao, King Zhao has not yet been canonized as a prince, let alone emperor. He is still useful to King Zhao. As long as he is useful , King Zhao will protect him."

"It's the same with my master."

Lin Hong smiled. He agreed with Qiao Shi's words, but his smile was a little cold. He thought of some things back then, things that made his teeth cold.

Seeing Lin Hong's expression, Mrs. Qiao didn't want to arouse the pain in Lin Hong's heart, and didn't want him to immerse himself in the past, so she walked over and tried whether Mrs. Tang in the quilt had warmed the inside of the quilt, and warmed it with her hands. After being warmed up, Mrs. Qiao came over and pushed Lin Hong's wheelchair to the side of the bed, and helped Lin Hong to rest on the bed.

"The master agreed to Yunxi's words, and Yunxi also said that after the matter in front of him is over, he will take the craftsman into the capital. Presumably, when the spring is warm next year, the craftsman will come to our house. When the time comes It is not difficult for the master to customize the chassis, but after the chassis is installed, the master has to stand up and walk, which is a bit difficult. There are many hardships in it."

After Lin Hong sat firmly on the bed, he patted the seat beside him, motioning for Mrs. Qiao to sit up too.

He smiled lightly and said, "I knew all about the mental preparations I had back then. So what about the hardships? Have we suffered less in these years? I'm not afraid of bleeding or getting hurt, but it's just that I have to install the machine bracket. Practice a few more times, in order to be able to stand up again, it doesn’t hurt to suffer a little.”

Lin Hong has been trapped in a wheelchair in a square inch for these years, this heart has long been quiet, but only he himself knows best, the stupid/stupid/desire/movement deep in his heart has never really left.The desire to stand up again is far more than he imagined.

What is more in his heart now is a kind of sudden joy, a longing and hope for the future.

He held Mrs. Qiao in his arms, and said with a smile: "If this is accomplished, what Madam said earlier will hopefully come true. I can take Madam to the south of the Yangtze River, and I can go home with Madam to have a look. Holding candles at night to talk and drink wine together."

Qiao Shi smiled and talked to Lin Hong again, and the two of them rested.

After Lin Jian sent Lin Daiyu back to her room, she specially asked Lin Daiyu with a smile to take advantage of the afternoon to rest for a while. Apart from watching the New Year, there will be other activities tonight.

Lin Jian smiled inscrutablely and meaningfully. He told Lin Daiyu like this: "Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Whether it's in Duzhong or here, it's the same."

Lin Daiyu didn't understand, Lin Jian smiled and said, "I told the girl earlier that the plum blossoms in Chonglian Temple are blooming very well. After watching the new year tonight, I will take the girl to see the plum blossoms at night. In the plum forest in the temple The plum blossoms are not yet in full bloom, and the melting snow is extremely cold tonight, so we must be able to witness the process of the plum blossoms blooming with our own eyes. After seeing it, the girl and I will never forget it.”

Lin Daiyu heard the words, but she was most worried about Lin Jian's body: "Third Brother also said that the melting snow is extremely cold. If he went to guard the plum blossoms in the middle of the night, Third Brother's body would not be able to bear it."

Lin Jian smiled softly: "It's okay, I've taken the medicine, it's fine to wear thicker clothes. The girl will also wear more, and I will take the girl there after midnight. The girl can follow me alone, Zijuan Let Qian Ying take care of it."

His smile was light and far-reaching, "something happened tonight, the girl can't sleep well even in the room. I have to wait for some people to come, the girl is troubled, so just wait with me. I don't worry about leaving the girl alone of."

Lin Daiyu subconsciously asked Lin Jian: "Who is the third brother waiting for?"

Lin Jian smiled, but he didn't answer Lin Daiyu's question immediately. He smiled and said softly: "I'll tell the girl after I get to Meilin. It's too early to say it now. However, the girl doesn't need to worry about it. Always have to tell you."

Lin Jian's attitude was too mysterious, which aroused Lin Daiyu's curiosity, but just now seeing Lin Jian talking to Lin Hong, and seeing Lin Jian's normal life, Lin Daiyu knew that if Lin Jian didn't want to say something, she would press her to ask her. It's useless, just calm down, listen to Lin Jian's words, and take a good rest. Anyway, after midnight, the answer will be revealed.

The sky was not always cloudy as Qian Ying said, and the sun was still out when it was Shen Shi.

Although the sun wasn't too hot, the sun still hung in the sky for more than an hour, and it didn't slowly fade until the end of You hour.

Dusk came to an end, night fell, no snow fell in the sky, but it was still cold and windy outside, and the remaining snow had not yet melted, so the weather was much colder than when it snowed two days ago.

Lin Hong and his wife had dinner together with Lin Daiyu and Lin Jian. This time, the four of them went to the dining room of Chonglian Temple specially.The abbot of Chonglian Temple deliberately vacated the dining room. The people in the temple wanted to clean up and not have too much contact with them. A place to have a New Year's Eve reunion dinner.

After dinner, everyone watched the new year together.There were so many people, these two hours passed in a flash.

After Haishi, when everyone wished each other a happy new year, Lin Jian and Lin Hong looked at each other. Lin Hong understood, and took Qiao Shi and his people away.

Then, Lin Jian and Qian Ying looked at each other again, Qian Ying looked at Lin Jian and nodded lightly, then walked away with Lin Jian's people and Zijuan Xiangwu Xianrou.

After everyone had left, Lin Jian looked at Lin Daiyu and smiled. He walked towards the flickering candles in the dining room. He was going to blow out all the candles, but stood in front of him After thinking about it, he paused for a while, but he still didn't blow out the candle, and walked back to Lin Daiyu's side again.

Lin Jian personally put on a cloak for Lin Daiyu. He said with a smile, "On New Year's Eve, the lights should be on all night. If the candles are extinguished because of these trivial things, it would not be beautiful. Anyway, they always want to come, they can't For the little ones, don’t even live such a big day.”

Zijuan knew that Lin Daiyu was going to see plum blossoms with Lin Jian at night, so she and Lin Daiyu prepared a full set of warm clothes.

In addition to the cloak and buckskin boots with three layers of down, Lin Daiyu was also provided with a thick muff and a hot hand stove. After putting on the hood, Lin Daiyu was tightly wrapped, and she was a little bit cold. The wind can't get in.

Lin Jian took a closer look at Lin Daiyu again, and seeing that she was in good shape, he smiled and took Lin Daiyu's hand through the muff: "The snowy road is slippery, this section of the road is not easy, I will take the girl. Don't step on the other side. Just follow my footsteps. I will step on the snow ahead for the girl, so it will be easier for the girl to walk."

The abbot of Chonglian Temple is also an elegant person, advocating nature and simplicity.Recently, there have been several heavy snowfalls, casting that large/patch of Merlin into a silvery world of ice and snow.There is a large/patch of snow on the ground, crystal clear and white, let alone footprints, there is no trace of man-made.

Looking at it from a distance, with the unopened and blooming plum blossoms all over the garden, it is really beautiful.

Not only the abbot will not destroy the beautiful scenery when he comes to the plum forest to see the plum blossoms, but also other monks in the temple, as well as Lin Hongqiao and others, will feel reluctant to step on this big/patch of snow when they come to the plum forest to see the plum blossoms.

It happened to be Lin Jian. When he led Lin Daiyu over, he just stood and watched the snow scene for a moment, and then led Lin Daiyu up without hesitation.

Lin Daiyu looked down at Lin Jian's footprints. Lin Jian was not walking fast, so she should take care of her pace, and she was afraid that she would not be able to keep up if she walked too fast, and would stop for a rest after walking a few steps. After resting for a while, Lin Daiyu raised her eyes to look at the scenery outside, only to realize that they had come to Merlin, and they had stepped on the snow scene that no one had destroyed.

Lin Daiyu immediately felt it was a pity, and she wanted to retreat, but Lin Jian held her hand and did not move.

She didn't say anything, Lin Jian had already seen the regret in her eyes, and said with a smile, "This is a picturesque scene. Whenever someone comes, he is always reluctant to destroy this beautiful scenery, and is only willing to stand outside and watch. But In my opinion, instead of being the person looking at the painting, it’s better to come in and be the person in the painting, and let yourself be a scene in the painting, wouldn’t it be better?”

Lin Daiyu said softly: "Third brother, you are making absurd reasoning."

"If we destroy this magnificent scene, those who come later will not be able to see the picturesque scenery in front of us."

Lin Jian just laughed. He readily admitted that he was unreasonable. Afterwards, he looked at the plum blossoms beside him with a distant look, and then smiled softly: "When those people come, this beautiful scenery will be destroyed after all. I am I want to invite Miss Lin to come and watch it while there is still a grand scene here. Otherwise, if I come back next year, I'm afraid it won't be such a good scene."

Lin Jian raised his finger and pointed at the sky, then turned his eyes to look at Lin Daiyu and smiled, "Look at this dark and stormy night, even if it is dotted with stars, it is still a good time to kill people. Will hot blood melt faster?"

Lin Jian watched Lin Daiyu look into his big black and white eyes, curled his lips and smiled again, held Lin Daiyu's hand tightly, and then continued walking, "Okay, I won't scare the girl anymore. Walk in with me, there are still some plum trees that have not bloomed, I will take the girl there to see."

Lin Daiyu followed Lin Jian for a while, and then came to the place Lin Jian said.

In fact, what Lin Jian said is quite right, plum blossoms are really beautiful to see at night.Especially when Lin Jian held the lantern to show Lin Daiyu the flower bone between the branches of the plum tree.

Lin Daiyu saw the process of the plum blossom slowly blooming in the dim light and shadow of the lantern, which was really beautiful and heart-pounding.

Lin Daiyu admired the plum blossoms for a while, and then turned her gaze to Lin Jian. She still remembered what Lin Jian said earlier, so she asked Lin Jian softly: "I heard what the third brother just said, that someone will come to Chonglian Temple to hunt down tonight Third brother?"

Lin Jian seemed to have known that Lin Daiyu would ask this question a long time ago, so he didn't show any surprise on his face. He still held up the lantern so that Lin Daiyu could look at the plum blossoms, but he smiled and replied, "It's not just as simple as chasing and killing. This is a layout. For us For them, tonight is the time to close the net. For them, tonight is the time to fight."

Lin Jiandao, "The Holy Majesty's desire to wipe out the power of four kings and eight princes makes them feel uneasy. The Holy Majesty is firm. With the Holy Majesty, they can't get anything cheap, and the Holy Majesty is not merciful. Anyone who is corrupt and perverts the law and forms a clique for personal gain will be punished." They saw that they could not get any benefits from the Holy One, so they thought that if there was a successor who stood by their side, their life would naturally be easier. This is the time to re-invite the crown prince."

"The Holy Majesty wanted Prince Zhao to be the crown prince in his heart, but in order to lure them to make a move, he only appointed a few older princes as princes, not crown princes. Those who supported Prince Rui and had other ideas would naturally not let it go. They wanted to get rid of it." His Royal Highness Prince Zhao and I knew that the Holy One had no intention of establishing Prince Rui as the crown prince, so we simply decided to rise up secretly and hand over the world to Prince Rui. They have made meritorious deeds in supporting Prince Rui. We have to rely on their power, so they will be at peace once again."

"And once Prince Rui ascends to the position, he will definitely eliminate dissidents. At that time, not only the court will be cleared, but even the Lingnan and Anhui armies will experience great changes."

Lin Jian originally made up his mind to tell Lin Daiyu about these things. Before the time came, he couldn't tell the truth, so he didn't say anything. Now that it's time for the incident to happen, he naturally wanted to explain it clearly to Lin Daiyu understandable.

"The dissatisfaction between King Zhao and I these days is due to the fact that they are suppressing us. His Highness Zhao Wang and I have been suppressed and excluded by them both openly and secretly. The Holy Majesty is fueling the flames." Now, they become more and more complacent, believing that they will succeed. If they want to make a move, they must take advantage of the time when the people in the city relax their vigilance. They want to collude with the city defense and their own forces. This is a series of events. For a big move, the actions/things must not only be kept secret, but also the news must not be leaked."

"Under such circumstances, it is natural that the fewer people staring at them, the better. It is best to get rid of all those who oppose them before this can be done. We have received news that they will do it on New Year's Eve. During this period, they kept doing various actions, and the ones worth mentioning were those who placed them in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and King Zhao's Mansion. They waited for the opportunity to get close and poison me and His Royal Highness Zhao Wang."

Lin Daiyu has been listening quietly, her brows did not move when she heard this, and said immediately: "Third brother, have you been poisoned?"

Lin Jian saw that she was in a hurry, but he didn't answer her immediately. He covered his lips and coughed twice, and then smiled slightly: "It's not so easy to sneak into Prince Zhao's mansion. Their people were found twice. In case they alarmed us, they stopped sending people to Prince Zhao's mansion. Instead, they caused troubles for His Royal Highness Zhao in the middle of the court. We naturally followed the trend and let His Royal Highness Zhao fulfill their wish and get the errand in the hands of the Holy Majesty. was dispatched."

"But the Metropolitan Procuratorate is no better than Zhao Wang's Mansion. Although I am not the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this Metropolitan Procuratorate is not my territory alone, and the people who serve the scribes cannot be all arranged by me. They It’s not easy to check the people who sent it in, but since they didn’t succeed at Prince Zhao’s Mansion, if I don’t let them succeed here, how can I induce them to riot?”

"Therefore, even if I find out the person they sent, I have to pretend not to know about the person who poisoned me. I have to let them succeed, let them know that they have succeeded, and then they will take the next step .”

Lin Jian looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile, but her words made Lin Daiyu feel cold all over her body, "Miss Lin, do you know? The poison they have given is very ruthless. After taking this poison for a long time, it is the same as suffering from tuberculosis. At first he was sick, then he was bedridden, and finally he vomited blood non-stop, and finally died of poison."

"Feng Ziying came to Xiyuan that day to check on my poisoning situation."

Lin Daiyu heard that her hands and feet were cold, and her eyes trembled a little: "Third brother, you—"

"Aren't you sick, are you poisoned? You are poisoned..."

Lin Jian's eyes suddenly softened a little. He should hold the lantern with one hand, and hold Lin Daiyu's hand with the other, so that Lin Daiyu can look in the direction indicated by him.

"Look, that's the direction of Duzhong. We're far away here, so we can't see what Duzhong looks like, but tonight, the incident happened, and there was a lot of fighting in the city. You can see the soaring flames from here. Miss Lin , Do you see that I am right? They are going to rise tonight, and now, they have risen."

Lin Daiyu didn't care about whether those people caused trouble, she was still thinking about the poison on Lin Jian.

Following Lin Jian's gaze, she glanced in the direction of the capital, and immediately turned back to look at Lin Jian. In desperation, she took out the other hand that was not held by Lin Jian from the muff, and held Lin Jian directly. The hand holding the lantern pulled Lin Jian towards her.

"Third brother, since you know they are going to poison you, why do you follow the trend?"

"Since the third brother knows the inside story, the third brother also has an antidote for this poison, right? Could it be that the medicines that I drink these days are all the antidote prepared by the third brother secretly?"

As she spoke, she blamed Lin Jian for acting too seriously, "Third Brother knows they are vicious, why don't you pretend to be poisoned? Why do you have to take such risks yourself?"
