The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Mo was usually angry, or something, and always had to sue for three or four days' leave. This time, the emperor didn't pursue the assassination further. Shui Fu thought that he might have to rest at home for ten and a half months. Thinking about the pile of affairs made my brain hurt, but as soon as I entered the household department, I saw the Lin family's carriage parked there in an orderly manner. Lin Mo was replaced by a young man with a low eyebrow and a pleasing appearance. It was just that he After looking at it for a while, I realized that it looked familiar. I looked carefully and was very surprised—it was actually a soldier of his sixth younger brother Shui Fiao.

Chu Wang Shuihao is special among the few princes.

His mother's family is prominent, and his biological mother, Concubine De, can be regarded as the No. 1 under the empress in the emperor's harem. Concubine De's grandfather, Song Zhiyuan, was the great Sima during Emperor Taizong's time, the concubine De's father, and the grandfather of Shui Hao. , is the Taishanghuang's young master, a recognized emperor's teacher, and Shui's uncle is also Doctor Jinzi Guanglu. The reputation of the Song family, even Chengenhou, dare not hide its brilliance.

However, Shui Hao is very low-key.He lived his life in an even and stable manner, and never competed for anything because of the power of his grandfather's family. After he was granted the title of king and built a mansion, he was even more introverted and did not move much.The emperor pointed him to a concubine whose family background was not very good, and he was not angry or annoyed, and lived his own life behind closed doors.

But now, such a king of Chu gave Lin Mo his own soldiers.

Shui Fu turned a dozen times in his mind, but couldn't think of any way out.He was the first to learn about this yesterday, so he personally taught Shui Chen a lesson, and wanted to go to the Beijing Palace to find out what happened, but he sent someone over to say that the Beijing King had rested at the Lin's house, so he relaxed Heart.Shui Rong is a person who values ​​both profits and love. He had thought about it in the early years, and now he will not make him look bad.

Who would have thought that Shui Yu would send someone to Lin Mo.Why did this younger brother who was always shy and cowardly behave like this?He was lost in thought.

But not only that, when it was time for lunch, Lin Mo was sent by Shui Yu to invite him outside respectfully.Lin Mo, who readily agreed to the appointment, saw Shui Fu's uncomfortable expression, and said with a smile, "Your Highness is relieved, clearing up the salt administration, and clearing up accounts is Mo's lifelong pursuit. Naturally, he will not lose the big because of small things, and forget his duty."

Shui Fu understood that he was saying that he would not do anything to clear the accounts this time, but he was a little suspicious. Could it be that the implication was that apart from this matter, he would take back the position in other aspects?It was true that Shui Chen was not kind at all in handling the matter yesterday, but he didn't touch his hands at all. Lin Mo is usually not indiscriminate, why is he so fussy this time?He felt that he was a bit unlucky.

Shui Hao approached Lin Mo, not entirely on his own initiative.

Lin Mo still had to work in the afternoon, so he refused to drink too much. He thanked Shui Hao's soldiers first, and said, "Your Highness the Sixth, do you know what you want? I can never make decisions for you. To help you, you have to know what you want." .”

Shui Hao was silent for a while, and said: "What if I just want to be safe and smooth?"

"I'm afraid Mr. Song doesn't want to." Lin Mo laughed softly.

Shui Hao sighed: "Where is my grandfather and uncle not thinking about it, even the princess, who always said that I am too simple-minded, but there are only a few people who have a lot of thoughts and live a long life." He is a timid person. People are very unwilling to make extra plans just for one or two words from their wives.

"If you want to break the Song family's thoughts and break the other princes' suspicion of you, isn't it very simple? It depends on the prince's reluctance." Lin Mo played with the cup in his hand and laughed softly.Shui Hao wondered: "How?"

"Even the harem is not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, let alone a princess." Lin Mo said, "The prince must reaffirm his status in the palace."

That's easy to say.The concubine's family background is indeed not good, but the marriage was bestowed by the emperor. If Shui Hao divorced his wife, it would be dissatisfaction with the marriage bestowed by the emperor. Although he would not be punished, it would cause the emperor to lose face.And the Song family is not someone who can't see the situation clearly, and they are afraid that they will turn against them immediately.Everyone understood that a prince who had divorced his wife would not be able to stand on that stage, and naturally the other highnesses would not continue to regard him as a thorn in their side.

Shui Hao looked at him and said with a wry smile: "What if this king wants to fight?"

He knew that Lin Mo belonged to the third brother, so he would never sincerely seek advice from him, so he heard Lin Mo say, "I think that if the prince gives it a go, the chances of winning are not great." He laughed and said, "Why?"

"Your Majesty is powerful outside the family, but you are also defeated here." Lin Mo pointed out, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and is good at controlling the situation. He will not allow the new king's future mother family to be too strong. If the prince relies on the Song family's reputation Wei Shi has become the crown prince, after that day, will the world be named Shui or Song?"

He said this boldly, Shui Po looked around nervously, there was not even a waiter in the room, and all the people guarding outside the door were his cronies, and the room next door was also cleared, so he coughed dryly: " So, this king has no chance at all?"

"Not really." Lin Mo smiled, "See if the prince is determined to be ruthless."

Shui Hao was so nervous that he squeezed the stove in his hand: "Would you like to help me?"

Lin Mo shook his head and asked, "Your Highness, do you believe me?"

He is recognized as the third master's party. Although he is willful and reckless, he has done a lot of things to gain the reputation of the third highness, and after adding him, the third highness has indeed gone smoothly.It's impossible for Shui Yao to really believe him—it's just...

Shui Hao gritted his teeth: "I believe in you."

"Then tell me first, who told you that I can help you?" Lin Mo approached and asked in a low voice, "Prince Yunjun?" Sure enough, even the roots of his ears turned red when he saw Shui Hao.

His Highness the Sixth Prince was born very ordinary, and he was always timid and cautious. He didn't have the so-called domineering aura of the other princes, and he really couldn't be caught in the crowd.Lin Mo looked at him, feeling dissatisfied with Shui Ji in his heart - what is the use of such a Highness?His eyesight is bad.Do you think that everyone is water-soluble, so that the way of Longyang can make him use it?

Shui Hao looked at him, feeling a little depressed.The person opposite was obviously smiling and did nothing, but he felt a chill rushing up from the soles of his feet, making him shiver.

"You fool." Lin Mo said, "What can Prince Yun allow you?"

Shui Hao said: "My cousin has been away from the capital for a long time, and I don't know the news, but he is much stronger than me. What's more, with the relationship between Marquis Jingyuan and my cousin, I shouldn't slander him like this."

Lin Mo sighed, rubbed his aching temples, thinking that His Highness the Sixth Highness really wasn't well-informed, Shui Fuliu and others had already understood his true identity and used him like a fish in water, but Shui Yu still thought he was righteous Loyal blood, want to get close.But thinking about it carefully, Shui Fu didn't tell Shui Shen about his identity, so it can be seen that he is a thoughtful person, if there is no Shui Rong to point him out, he might not be able to guess who he is.

water soluble...

He couldn't help laughing.

Shui Hao asked doubtfully, "Is there anything funny?"

"I laugh at the lord's underestimation of himself." Lin Mo said, "There is a saying that you don't speculate, and I am in this state with King Yun. Since the lord believes in King Yun, it's better to just listen to his words and do things. Why bother to ask me? I am a person with a bad temper and a stubborn temper. Only the Third Highness has the patience to listen to me when I work with me. "

Shui Hao hastily said: "Master Hou, why bother..."

"You want me to help you make up your mind, and you also want to listen to King Yun, who are you supporting?" Lin Mo said with a smile, "I'm just a talker here. Whether you like to listen or not, I'm in a hurry." , go back to the household department—by the way, there is nothing wrong with my third highness, King Yun guessed wrong."

A master like Shui Fu is lenient and listens to his words, there is nothing wrong with him except to beware that he will hide his bow in the future.

It might be necessary for him to find a new master, but it's not someone like Shui Hao who has no ability and trusts the wrong person.Shui Ji's ambition and brain are out of bounds, and he doesn't know what he wants.If Shui Mi believed him, he would be completely foolish.

Regarding things like fighting for power and power, Lin Mo has always been self-taught. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unnecessary.With the look of the emperor, even if someone becomes the crown prince, he will have to wait for decades. After decades, what is the structure of the court, whether the crown prince is the crown prince, or whether the current group of people will go to court It's hard to say.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Mo first said to Shui Po's soldiers: "Okay, you go back and tell your master, I don't have any news here, so don't waste your time here."

The man was shrewd and said: "What are you talking about, Lord Hou? Now, Lord Hou is serving the country and has made great achievements. The prince is worried about the safety of Lord Hou, so he sent a lowly job to escort him. There is really nothing to ask for."

Lin Mo smiled and said: "Okay, then you can follow. But since you are here with me, you should bring your parents' and family's deeds and sign a new copy."

The man froze for a moment, his expression seemed to be choking.

Lin Mo laughed, and patted him on the shoulder: "Go back, your master is not a person capable of doing this, he did it so blatantly, be careful not to cause trouble. It's okay as before, but now it's like this, I don't know him What are you trying to figure out. Prince Yun's eloquence is so eloquent, can you make him forget his original intention?"

He turned around, and he didn't want anyone to follow him, and went to the household department by himself on crutches.There is a large crowd, so I am not afraid of someone coming to assassinate again.Come again, among other things, if the water sinks two times, it will be blamed.

The household department is crowded with people, and there are also unexpected guests.

"What is uncle doing here?" Lin Mo stared at Bai Shiyue in surprise.

Bai Shiyue glanced at his crutches: "It's all right now, what are you doing with this thing? Are you really happy if people think you're crippled?" He raised the basket in his hand again, "You The daughter-in-law said that the adopted son is also a son, and she wants to give red eggs."

Lin Mo reacted: "Oh. Yes, I became a father yesterday." He took advantage of the opportunity to invite people, "In [-] days or so, the baby will be full moon, and there will be many things at the time of the year, so everyone should spare some time. Come to my house to drink the full moon wine." After finishing speaking, he pulled Bai Shiyue and whispered to the side, "Come here, uncle."

There are many people who can give red eggs. Kong Jingxian is not a person who does not know how to be polite. Even if she wants someone to come, Lin Che is at home. How could she ask an elder to do this?

Seeing no one around, Bai Shi whispered, "I'm going to meet Sheng today, so I should go back to Mohe."

Lin Mo was also taken aback: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I have to go back quietly. I won't serve wine at home. I'll go to my second brother-in-law's house later. You know it." Bai Shiyue smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Poor, you are also a father now, and you can talk a lot, so I won't say much, you should pay attention to safety."

"Uncle is." Lin Mo hurriedly said, "Be careful."

Bai Shiyue came to Beijing under the order, saying that he was a corrupt official, who would believe it?Everyone in the capital is watching. Now that he has met the saint, he hurried back, why?

Lin Mo was quick-witted, but he couldn't figure it out.

The red eggs were scattered, and during the day, the more he ignored Cao Shangshu Shuifu and others' persuasion, he left without drinking much tea, and left someone behind: "Isn't Mo'er's Shen Bao gone? Call Qi San to accompany him." Look at you. He knows how to use punches and kicks, and even if someone wants to kill you, he can stop him. If you want me to say, you shouldn’t have let go of punches and kicks back then, lest you be like yesterday, useless for anything.”

Lin Mo blushed, pushed him and said, "Uncle, let's go."

When Bai Shiyue left, Cao Shangshu said: "Shilang Lin, I have got some good tea, why don't you come and taste it?"

Lin Mo nodded in agreement, and in a low voice told him what he wanted to see here, and reported it to Shui Fu again, before leaving to see Cao Shangshu.

Shui Fu looked at his back thoughtfully.

Cao Shangshu is quite old, and he was also a child of a family back then. He was not as successful as Lin Mo when he became an official. Instead, he walked steadily up step by step. He was quite comfortable as a wife and son.He had always thought that Lin Mo Xinglin was born with no background, and he had offended the Rongguo Mansion by himself, so he could be regarded as a naked person. If he didn't have the attention of His Highness the Third Highness and King Beijing, he would be nothing, but today It wasn't until he realized that Lin Mo really wasn't alone.Although he was adopted by Lin Hai, his relationship with his Shandong family has always been very good. Both the Bai family and the Rong family can be regarded as his backers.

Cao Shangshu felt that he should have a good talk with him.

"How is King Jing's injury?" He tried to find a way to talk.

"The arrow wound is not a problem, but the arrow is poisonous. It needs to be recuperated for a few days." Lin Mo naturally understood what the boss wanted to say, and replied with a smile, "Why did Master Shangshu find the next official?"

Cao Shangshu considered his words: "General Zhongwu's visit to the capital...isn't it just to escort a censor?"

Lin Moxiao looked at him slightly.

Cao Shangshu said: "The harvest in Beidi is not good this year. The barbarian land is not very civilized. It is necessary to come to the Central Plains to burn, kill and loot. General Zhongwu is a general who guards the border. If you come to Beijing at this time, you are not afraid of going out at the border. What basket?"

"My lord, uncle came to Beijing by order." Lin Mo reminded.

Cao Shangshu said: "It's natural, natural." He said, "I'm afraid others don't think so."

Lin Mo said: "My lord, let's relax. Although my uncle is perverse, he acts in a proper way. What's more, how can we ministers think about your majesty's thoughts?"

Cao Shangshu inquired a few more times, but Lin Mo's tone was really tight, and he didn't reveal anything at all.He couldn't help being a little discouraged: "Master Lin is not leaking."

Lin Mo sighed: "I don't know what Master Shangshu wants to know. You are already an extremely human minister. Whoever sees you doesn't need to call you Xiangye? How can you know more about some things?" So? Do you still want to be the second Beijing King?"

What he said was really sincere, and Cao Shangshu had nothing to say for a while.

Quietly, she came out of Cao Shang's bookstore, saw Shui Fu again, but Shui Fu didn't say anything, handed him a cup of tea, then turned and left.Lin Mo looked suspiciously at the teacup in his hand, and suddenly said nothing.

This person, Shui Shen, really has no brains for what he did.

Even if Lin Mo said he didn't care, would Shui Fu really believe it?What's more, Shen Bao has been by his side since he was a child, Lin Mo doesn't care about this friendship, it's hard to say.

It was good at first, except for adding chaos and making people feel distracted, what happened yesterday was really inexplicable.
