The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Shui Rong didn't come alone, besides enslaving his servants, he also brought the young people outside the Yide Hall with him.

Lin Mo looked at the man coldly. He was wearing a black gown with auspicious clouds and dark pattern with arrow sleeves, and a jade belt embroidered with dark gold and silver. His waist was empty except for a jade pendant. He took a step forward, saluted respectfully and said, "My minister sees Your Highness."

The young man widened his eyes, glanced at Shui Rong, and Shui Rong called out: "I didn't tell him!"

Lin Mo smiled and said: "It's really not about the prince's business, but I just think that there are not many people in this world who can make the prince of Beijing Jing respectful and intimate."

Then the man laughed: "He just relied on his seniority to be higher than me." Then he said, "Since Tai Yin can guess my identity, can he guess which one I am?"

Lin Mo said: "This, I don't know about it." There are many students of the Lin family in the imperial hospital, so he has heard a little about the internal affairs of the court, but his qualifications are too young, and it is not good to ask too much. So I don't want to say more.

The man smiled and said, "I am the third in the family."

It turned out to be the third prince.Lin Mo lowered his head and smiled slightly.Speaking of it, today is really a little pitiful. The emperor above is still in good health, trying his best to gain power for his favorite sons, and the princes below have grown up as if urged to death, vying to show themselves to win power. It's really uncomfortable to be the emperor.No wonder he hasn't had many sons for so many years, he really can't afford to have one.

This Third Prince is a bit inconspicuous compared to his brothers.He is not as talented as the first prince, he is not as talented as the second prince, and he is not as good as the fourth prince in martial arts riding and shooting. Even when he is on an errand with the fifth prince, everyone praises the fifth prince for his benevolence, justice and generosity, but complains that he is ruthless and cold-blooded.However, for a prince, he meets all the conditions to be a crown prince - the eldest son of the middle palace, decisive and decisive.

It's just that it's not as good as the brothers will build momentum.

Shui Rong, a person who is so focused on profit, would actually make friends with the third prince. For some reason, he looked at Shui Rong coldly at the eyes of the third prince, and sneered a little in his heart.

The third prince said again: "I went to Taiyuan a few years ago, and I saw someone built an ancestral hall for Lin Gong, a square stele, 22 people, the Lin family has come here for the country and the people, it is really admirable."

Lin Mo hurriedly got up to thank him.

"The following seems to be a eulogy written by Taiyin? Wasn't Taiyin still young at that time?"

Lin Mo coughed in embarrassment: "Already seven years old." When he was young, he was not much better than Baoyu. Although he was talented and read some books, what good things could he write?Later, after this great change, we worked hard to make progress, and we were considered progressive.

Shui Rong asked interestedly, "How is he writing?"

"The rhetoric is empty, and the allusions are incomprehensible." The third prince closed his eyes, "However, the feelings are sincere and come from the heart. When other people mourn their deceased husbands, most of them describe their life and express their grief. You can ask God to make you beautiful, and you can ask an official to do it." It is really not easy for the slaughter to open a warehouse to release grain, and ask the merchants not to hoard the goods."

Lin Mo smiled wryly and said, "It's just that at that time I was weak, so I didn't get any of these three requests."

The third prince sneered. At that time, the imperial grandfather was in power, and there was only one acre of land in the capital under his nose. All the officials in the court were talking about the throne and their own future. Who would care about a natural disaster in that remote place? ?When the father ascended the throne, he withdrew the governor of Shanxi and opened the treasury to provide disaster relief, but the place failed to slow down, and even cheated and withheld the relief money. The emperor was furious and sent the minister of Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly. The third prince and the fifth prince went to see each other.

It was at that time that he saw the ancestral hall built by the people for the sons of the Lin family. It was a simple three-room earthen house, which was not even comparable to a ruined temple. Be clean.The above 22 names are shocking.

These 22 people, in order not to spread the disease, voluntarily did not enter the soil for peace.

And Lin Mo's eulogy is more like a sharp knife, piercing through the "benevolent government" of the ministers favored by the emperor's grandfather in his later years.

The third prince was still very young at that time. At the age of 14, he refuted the idea of ​​the Dali Temple Minister and the Five Emperors wanting to make big things into small things, and violently angered officials of all sizes in Shanxi. After repeating it, when he returned to Beijing afterwards, he was attacked by his grandfather, but the "most filial and pure benevolent" father did not say anything.He is a smart guy and found his way right away.

Therefore, when he heard that Lin Mo won the number one prize and his father reused him, he didn't find it surprising, on the contrary, he wanted to make friends with him even more.Although Shui Rong is also a county king, he is still his uncle in terms of seniority, but he has always been responsive to his requests, and it was a breeze to bring him to see Lin Mo.

However, Shui Rong had also warned him that Lin Mo was scheming, moody, and cruel.But the third prince doesn't care, why not have some flaws in a small place if a person is good in a big way?Where in this world would there really be such a flawless person?He was trampled into the mud by villains long ago.

He didn't care, but he almost bent his nose when he was so angry with Shui Rong.

Just as he was talking, a servant from his own house outside bowed lowly under the window sill and passed by. The servant has always had good eyesight, and the third prince knew it in his heart, but he was reluctant to leave Lin Mo and was hesitating. Shui Rong pushed him: "Just go, don't delay the matter. Taiyin is here, can you still run away?"

Lin Mo also said: "Your Highness has important business to do. Anyway, I'm idle at home all day long. It's not too late to get together when Your Highness has time."

He just hurried back.

Shui Rong said: "Third Highness is currently in charge of the Jiangnan corruption case, it's quite hard work." It's an explanation for the Third Prince.Lin Mo nodded, not caring.The Lin family is quite involved in Jiangnan's corruption case, so it can't be cleaned up, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to get involved in it himself.

Shui Rong was taken aback by him: "Does Taiyin have something to say?"

"Mizi is divided into peaches and declines, Longyang is beautiful and dedicated to the king of Wei, the emperor of Han broke his sleeves and Wang Mang, and the newcomer has a phoenix crown and a pair." He really didn't have much research on poetry and poetry, so he made up a doggerel casually, which made Shui Rong jump in fright. Get up: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is nothing compared to the meaning of the prince." Lin Mo laughed softly.

Shui Rong looked grim: "Lin Mo, are you really my king and dare not kill you?"

"It's the third time." Lin Mo stretched out his hand, "It's the third time that the prince said such things in front of me. The reason is that one time is more difficult than the other. It seems that sooner or later I will be able to be honored by the prince, and I will be listed in the annals of history." Leave a name."

Shui Rong shouted: "Lin Mo, you are too arrogant!"

Lin Mo smiled and said nothing.Although Shui Rong still has some power in his hands, he has already lost the military power of his ancestors. Besides, he is very popular, and he has good relations with various families. Although it looks harmless, it is impossible for the emperor not to shy away from him. Now Lin Mo is also a first-class prince. Well, no matter how lofty he is, King Beijing, he still has to weigh his measure.

Why bother, this is not a good thing.

He lowered his head, and his smile became deeper and deeper, he wondered that people said that the King of Beijing Jing was already in his twenties but had not established a concubine.It's just the third prince, although there are only two side concubines, but he has a good relationship with the princess, and he has already given birth to the emperor's grandson!

It's strange that such a stalker as King Beijing Jing would deal with the third prince, who is not so conspicuous nowadays.It's strange that his temper is so "gentle and tolerable".

King Xiang is interested, Goddess, well, Son of God has no intentions, what a good story.

Of course, Lin Mo is not one of those scholars who are obsessed with studying and don't know what they are.When he was a child, he saw that the world was naughty and rambunctious. Although Lin Qing was disciplined, he didn't dare to really hit the board, so he was allowed to read a lot of miscellaneous books, but Uncle Lin had some skills, and took him by the ear and led him to the future father-in-law There, I received two severe boards, and then I settled down and concentrated on studying medicine, not daring to be mischievous anymore.

It's just the word of love, he can be regarded as intelligent, but fortunately the Lin family has good rules and did not teach him to be a foolish dude like Jia Baoyu.

It's just that he has read a lot of idle books, and he also understands that these so-called personal relationships between men and women are not selfish things that disregard etiquette, justice and shame, give and receive privately, and leave parents and elders aside?Not to mention the goddamn thing of eating dry wipes and then throwing them away.There is also Lin Mo's little aunt, who despises etiquette the most, and is regarded as an outlier in the family. She married a romantic and suave "talented scholar", but when she went there, she found out that she already had three aunts—not a roommate, but a serious one. The condescending aunt even has two concubine sons, and even told her that they are all his love in his heart, and he would never dare to favor one another just because of her richer family background. In the end, it was the Lin family who came forward and used this little aunt The most contemptuous etiquette and rules taught my little uncle a lesson, and helped my little aunt get the rights that a housewife should have.

The so-called extremes must be reversed, Lin Mo reads a lot of idle books, and there is a little aunt who ignores the rules, who turns out to be cold and cold. The sisters all began to say that the affair was misleading.Lin Qing Dajue ancestors bless.

Therefore, it would be very difficult for Shui Rong to have such a little meaning for the third prince, or not be seen through by him.It's just that in his opinion, it's really ridiculous.

Did he really think that the third prince would care about the four characters of love between son and daughter?Not to mention, is Shui Rong such a big flaw with a bunch of braids exposed?Although he is not familiar with the third prince, his eyes are not bad. This prince is a man who helps the world.

He doesn't even think highly of someone like Shui Rong, let alone the Third Prince?

Looking at the water melting, he walked away in a huff.He shook his head and sighed.
