The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

"Xi Di said that he did it alone." Shui Rong touched his nose.He went to find Zhao Wang in private, but he didn't inform Lin Mo.In fact, I didn't think too much about it, but Lin Mo stopped me when I started that day - he found a good excuse for himself.

Lin Mo said "Oh", "How many people don't know about this. You do know which side is in the trial," said Shui Rong, who was worried about many things.For example, at this moment, he was probably worried that something happened to the Xi family, Xi He would be in trouble because of this, and Bai Shi would be more upset, Lin Mo should be upset with him.But no matter who said this, Lin Mo had to thank him, and naturally he wouldn't bother with him.Shui Rong smiled, "Dali Temple."

Lin Mo understood that since King Zhao reported Xi Di, for the sake of King Zhao's face, he would not hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment to call Shui Fu for interrogation.

"Dali Siqing... is quite serious." He chose a word that was not too serious.

"Tch." Shui Rong chuckled lightly.Is that more than serious?He is simply a black-faced Yama.How many people said that there was such a senior official, and they don't know how many unjust cases were tried in Dali Temple.It is estimated that his name has long been in the "Biography of Cool Officials" by the historian. It is rumored in the capital that the name Zhang Xin alone is enough to make a child stop crying. , it’s a little bit different.”

Lin Mo said: "What's the use of trying to hold on to the real teeth?" His tone can be described as cold, "It's the crime of punishing the nine clans anyway."

Shui Rong was silent for a while, and said: "If he really bites down, maybe looking at the Xi family's military exploits, he can suppress it. Originally, this matter has been investigated secretly, and it will not be publicized for the sake of the stability of the army. When the time comes Old General Xi killed his relatives righteously, and the Xi family may still be able to stay."

"That's necessary. The emperor wants to calm things down, not kill chickens to make an example to monkeys." Lin Mo raised his eyebrows at him.

Shui Rong was stunned and glanced at him.

Is the emperor the kind of person who calms down?

No, on the contrary, he is a person who is keen on exchanging blood for generals.The hereditary style of the family of famous generals started from Emperor Taizu, and it has disappeared since the emperor ascended the throne.The son inherits the father's business?It's okay, but there will never be a place where your family is the only one.Xi Songxi fought on the battlefield all his life, but unfortunately he didn't have many good sons. Among his nephews, Xi He was the only one who was quite capable, but how many people were recommended, and the emperor didn't let him leave Xi Songxi's command—— Considering He's age, his position has already surpassed that of normal people, but everyone knows that as long as he doesn't leave Xi Songxi for a day, he really won't be able to take power for a day.

Saying that he values ​​literature over martial arts?Not quite.Since he ascended the throne, he held martial arts exams every two years, and often took the exams for young generals. Song Yan, Hong Jiming and others became famous all over the world since he took power.It is said that it is the spirit of the army, but in fact, the station is changed every five years, and after several rotations, it does not have any influence of its own.In addition, he does not avoid employing people, and he dares to entrust someone like Song Yan with strange and unpredictable movements, but he just asks the old, stable and experienced to point it out, so he said that in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he must protect the soldiers. The Xi family, that's really unlikely.

If Taizong was nervous about employing people during the scuffle at that time, or if the Taishang Emperor missed the old love and had soft ears, maybe he should have agreed.But now the Holy Majesty...

Shui Rong let out a "hehe". He was just about to ask Lin Mo what to do with your uncle when he heard the other party calmly say, "What's more, doing such a thing is easy for people to see through. With such a brain, Dare to think of such a big idea, he is going to drag the whole family to death by himself - or, someone knows that he has such a brain, and dares to let him know, he deserves to be gone together?"

"You don't look worried at all."

"Master Zhang must be worried. Someone should say that this is an unjust case." Lin Mo looked very relaxed.

There is nothing more to say about water solubility.He thought for a long time, and finally found his own voice: "Nan'an hasn't posted a post yet, right? Your sister's birthday. It's fine if you posted it earlier."

When Lin Mo was discussing matters in the imperial study today, when the king of Nan'an was talking about the exhaustion of the army and the lack of food and grass, he stood up and demolished the stage. Whether there is enough food and grass is not a matter for you to open your mouth, it seems that our household department has nothing to do."

Shui Rong knew that the posts of the Jingyuan Hou Mansion were always sent according to relatives, and those who had to come could not arrive, so it was definitely not sent on the same day.It is estimated that King Nan'an is the latter group.After today's release, if Lin Mo wants to send another post, it won't be good.

"You too. He just said that. Doesn't the emperor know what to do? What are you doing?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Your tone is like Mrs. Shi's talking about Mr."

After being with him for so long, Shui Rong finally understood that he was actually feeling uncomfortable.So he laughed at him: "Isn't it nothing to do with you?"

Lin Mo sighed: "Prince Bei Jing, why can't you remember things?"

Obviously, she hasn't gained the upper hand in the verbal dispute for so many years, but she never learns her lesson, and always wants to tease him, as if she wants to be ridiculed by him.If he had known that Shui Rong had such a hobby, he wouldn't have held back these days.

Shui Rong paused for a while, turned around, and asked in a low voice; "I still want to ask Marquis Jing Yuan, what is the difference between me and your colleagues in the household department? I see that you and Chen Yejun sat together for two hours, Can't you just talk to me for a while?"

Lin Mo sighed: "Do you want to listen to love or the truth?"

Shui Rong blinked his eyes, not knowing whether he should be happy for the word "love words" or listen to the truth.

"I think the lord is fine, so I'd better go to Liusheng Lane a few times less. I've stayed in Wenrouxiang for too long, and you can't even hear normal people talking to you. Or simply stay there for a few more days, and listen too much. Maybe someday I'll listen to you." Tired of it, I feel that my speech is quite pleasing to the ear, and there is no flavor?"

"I just went to have a few drinks with them just to find out some news," Shui Rong explained a few words, then suddenly teased, "When did you know? How long did you hold it?" He was even a little complacent , I didn't even have time to think about who leaked my whereabouts because I always kept a low profile.

Lin Mo nodded, and his voice was extraordinarily long: "I'm just giving an example, so you really have been there." After a pause, his tone of voice was a little smiling, "It's still the past few days. He took his hand away from the hand stove, patted the water, his palm was hot, "If the prince returns early, why don't you go back and burn a stick of incense for the princess, and thank her well?"

"Huh?" Shui Rong was trembling in his heart, but he couldn't understand what he was talking about. He only felt that Lin Mo was smiling like a fox, not angry but warm, but it made him want to shed a few drops of cold sweat. He just wondered why it happened. , Which man does not have three wives and four concubines, so he marries the princess' son-in-law so that he can keep his body like jade.It's good for him, Lin Mo didn't give him anything, so why not let him go out to play?It's just these words that dare to be ruthless in my heart.It really made Uncle Lin anxious, he can say anything.

"It's time for me to go back." Lin Mo clapped his hands, then suddenly turned his head and said to Shui Rong, "There are only six months left."

Godly babble.

The nagging Marquis Jingyuan didn't care about the turmoil in the capital, he settled the accounts and felt satisfied--the autumn and winter months of last year ruthlessly got a group of people down, ransacked their homes several times, and even ransacked the household department Some of his subordinates were brought into Dali Temple—it was a tradition for the Ministry of Households to subsidize themselves when they ransacked their homes, but the new minister didn't like these old rules, and he didn't show respect to his colleagues.The effect is really remarkable. He has been back for so long, and looking at the previous account books, he hasn't made any mistakes. Even if there is no natural disaster this year, even if there is a fight, it won't be so bad that he can't eat.

The emperor once laughed at him: "It's a pity that you were born at the wrong time. If it was the time of Emperor Taizu and Taizong, you would have been appointed king and worship minister." He is a well-known stingy emperor who likes to settle accounts with his ministers the most. He is self-willed. A person like Lin Mo, at their time, might really disregard the civil and military sideways, so why should he be sealed.

"I simply thought my brother was that little girl of Lin Ke's family. Every day before going to bed, she counted how many coppers she still had, and she would only go to bed with the money bag in her arms." Daiyu also knew that her brother was counting the big account of the family and the country, but he The way he cares about pennies and pennies is really different from usual, so he laughed at the three-year-old who was the first in the housekeeper's family.

"I'm unlucky. I was assigned to the Ministry of Household Affairs. If I were in the Ministry of Rites, I wouldn't need to be so petty. I play with you at home every day."

Daiyu blushed when she heard the word "Ministry of Rites", she pointed her green finger directly on her elder brother's nose, and even twisted it, wishing she could step on him, but in the end she turned her head not to talk to him.

The Ministry of Rites has always been busy for a while, and now that the envoys from various countries have gone back, the Ministry of Rites seems to have nothing to do except to check whether there is any inappropriateness in the articles written by the scholars of the Taiyuan Academy against Qianxue, Dongying, and Beidi—the emperor is a foreigner. The famous one is not like his father, who is not keen on going on tours and other things. Even the acts of worshiping the heavens are kept simple in accordance with the etiquette system. What can be done in Beijing will not go out to waste people and money, so the ostentation that the Ministry of Rites has to prepare is not It took so much effort that even the censor, who wanted to speak out, had nothing to say.

Lin Mo stood on tiptoe and tapped on the table lightly. There is now a music score in his study, which contains more than a dozen kinds of "Q&A" books, and there are a few other than Xingzhuang Taiyin, which were found by Rong Jia Yes, without saying anything, I asked someone to give it to him.

Lin Mo himself doesn't know the rhythm, so it goes without saying who this sheet music is for.

Most likely, he felt that it was inappropriate to only allow Mrs. Bai to prepare gifts, but because of his special status, he was afraid of the girl's thin skin when he wanted to give something, and he just wanted to please her.This kid was honest and didn't choose those more interesting songs.

He smiled and raised his voice: "Is Yu'er still angry? Go to my study when you have time, take what you like, and brother will pay you."

Daiyu snorted, "I'm so in love with my brother's baby!"

He thought with a slight smile, it's really hard to say whether Rong Jia's gift can be given away.

Tonight I asked someone to press a few more booklets onto the music score.
