The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Mo's fall from favor with the emperor was just a joking guess, but at least he was very fresh among General Wu who had attracted the attention of civil and military officials in the court.Wu Lianshui's family hosted a banquet, and all the guests were old friends who were close friends. A large pile of invitations was sent out, and a group of generals mixed with a servant of the household department, even the secretary of the household department was not treated like this.He took the invitation card, still a little puzzled, ordered Jingxian to prepare the gift, and then went to ask Princess Hehui for advice.Princess Dachang said: "General Wu and your uncle have an old relationship, and now there is no one in the Bai family in Beijing, so even if you adopt someone, it's good to be your head. Didn't the King of Beijing also go? There is nothing to worry about. Be more careful and see what he said to those generals."

Lin Mo thought to himself, what kind of spirits are these people?Can he discuss it in an open manner so that he, who is recognized as a close minister of the emperor, can hear it?It's better to expect the water-soluble shadow guards to sneak under their bed and listen to the wall.However, he and Bai Qian are old, but he has indeed heard that Bai Qian used the name of Wu Lianshui to pass his peak years, and now he is just a veteran struggling.Wu Lianshui also praised Bai Qian for having successors, and he gave some face to Bai Shiyue, who was young and unknown at that time, and few people served him.

Jing Xian came from a family background and was very good at handling internal affairs. Lin Mo went over the gift list first: "Hey, are you willing to give these four colored glass bottles?" , glass, etc., just inquiring about Wu Lianshui, Jingxian gritted her teeth: "Take it away! Isn't the list released today? I asked someone to look at the list, why haven't you come back yet?"

Lin Mo sighed, "It's a pity."

Lin Ke didn't come back until noon, and only said, "Second Master Gu won the prize, 1st and [-]th in the second class."

Lin Mo almost spit out a sip of tea: "How many people were recorded in Erjia?" He also knew in his heart that since Rong Xi was not mentioned, it must be a dead end.

"Returning to the old man, the second armor has recorded 180 four people."

This luck.Lin Mo smiled and said, "Congratulate him and come back?"

"Yes." Lin Ke brought two gifts out today. He thought that if he won both, he would ask the servants to congratulate Gu Shun, go to the Rong Mansion himself, and report to the master, calling the master, The madam is coming too—this is what the madam ordered.Who knew that the two gifts were all sent to the Gu family, and Wen Ge asked him "so much, it's against the rules", he himself felt strange.

Why is it that the sons and brothers who have rich clothes and good food and have worshiped famous teachers failed the exams, but the ones who worked in the medicine hall while studying books by themselves got in?Lin Ke was also a little speechless.

Jing Xian was also taken aback for a moment when she heard the result, and when she heard that she had congratulated the Gu family, she said, "Very good." She thought again, forget it, with the level of Rong Xi's wife, if it is true If you can seal the imperial order and take it out to socialize, the Rong family will lose face.It's just that Rong Xi was not as good as his younger brother, so I don't know how he feels now.

When Enke released the rankings, some people were happy and some were worried.However, the students were frustrated, and the carnival of the more than 300 lucky ones was enough to make the whole capital boil.Amidst such hustle and bustle, the Rongguo Mansion, which had prepared the salute and dowry gift for two months and carried it to Lord Fuyao's boat, seemed particularly bleak.

Jia Lian rode a horse and stood at the pier, supervising the servants moving things. Hearing the sound of firecrackers all over the city, he also sighed inwardly.He remembered Jia Zhu's appearance when he was in the middle school. At that time, there were no more people coming to congratulate Baoyu's marriage than now, but the whole family had a bright face.Why is it like now...

Lin Mo didn't have time to worry about this, so he tossed out a suit of clothes and went to Wu's house for a banquet.

General Wu Lianshui was more than eight feet tall, with a reddish complexion, a very strong moustache, eagle nose and leopard eyes. Looking at it from a distance, Lin Mo took off the purse on his waist with some guilt.Although he has been praised for his good-looking face, he is still different from Liu Xiangru who is "beautiful as a good girl". However, when he looks at Wu Lianshui, he inexplicably feels unconfident, as if he has become a little boy.I was secretly dissatisfied in my heart, "Is this what heroism is?", and felt that I couldn't raise the prestige of others, so I went through the walking postures of my grandfather and uncle in my mind, and immediately decided to stick to my original appearance.

He is young, although the third-rank official is not too young, but there are a bunch of old friends, Wu Lianshui will not leave someone to pick him up, but when he heard that Jingyuanhou is coming, he stood up to greet him, Before he finished saluting, he helped him up first, looked him up and down, and patted him on the shoulder with some strength: "You are really a good-looking talent!"

Lin Mo almost staggered back after being photographed by him, Hao Lai stabilized his feet, calmed down after brewing for a while, and said, "General, thanks."

"Yo, the foundation is good, it's ruined." Wu Lianshui was quite surprised, seeing his gentle and handsome appearance, it was not easy to endure this, so he stretched out his arms and said to the Minister of the Ministry of War, "Old horse, Look at Bai Qian's grandson, he has a good waist and legs. It's a pity, what kind of literary champion is he? I heard that his brain is not bad."

Ma Shangshu and Lin Mo are familiar with each other, smoothing things over: "He already has such a son, if the grandson also inherits the mantle, we should cry." They are all people who have experienced in the yellow sand field. I can only look at my descendants and sigh.It's not that there are no good seedlings who practice martial arts, it's just that knowing martial arts and being able to fight are completely different things.Bai Shiyue is not high-class in terms of martial arts, but he has a unique vision and often wins by surprise. Compared with his descendants who can only be brave, or read a few military books and think that they are proficient, the result is only on paper.Fortunately, Bai Shiyue didn't have a son, but Bai Qian's grandsons are not bad at all. Didn't one with the surname Lin go to the north?

But Lin Mo didn't start martial arts, so they were lucky.

"Changbanpo" is being performed on the stage. The Wusheng is a well-known actor in Beijing. He is really skilled and has a good figure. What is rare is that he looks like Zhao Zilong. He is performing until he fights bloody and breaks out of the encirclement. Full applause.Suddenly a person came out from inside: "Ah, Brother Lin is here too."

Lin Mo rolled his eyes in his heart, pursed his lips and said, "King of Beijing Jing."

"The general is really partial, I don't give you as many gifts as brother Lin? I don't see you complimenting me." Shui Rong laughed, "I heard that the king of Xining is here, so I'll go out to meet him?" The king of Xining rarely came out to socialize, but the four Although Wang looks good at a young age, he still has the face he should have. Among them, Shui Rong is the youngest and most lively, so it's not a big deal to go out to pick him up.Wu Lianshui smiled and said, "Let's go together." Hao Lai called someone to bring Lin Mo to the banquet.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around secretly, only to see a section of water corridor, across from it was a big theater stage, with more than a dozen large tables in the room, and even the outside corridor was covered with mats, this is what they like The honorable family of the noble family also has to have ostentation only during the New Year and festivals.There are people at his table who know each other, and there is another person who was a martial artist from the past few years, and they are from the same town as them, especially with Rong Jia. The people at the table even hugged him alone after seeing the ceremony. .In addition, it is really a dizzying lineup.

Among other things, the four kings with different surnames gathered together, among them was the king of Xining who had never left home for many years, and the king of Nan'an who had been sick for a long time.Only the royal family has such a big face.

He was still singing tinkly on the stage, he didn't like to listen to the opera, he still looked around, just turned around, suddenly felt that he was also being watched by someone, turned his head, only to see two tables away, Dongping Wang Zheng looked at him with a smile, and turned his head to say something to Prince Wei.

He was a little surprised to imitate Wu Tanhua and cupped his fists there. Sure enough, seeing King Dongping smiled and nodded, but he didn't seem to want him to go to that table, which made him feel a little baffled.

Wu Tanhua has already come over, and said that he will go to Yunnan in rotation this year, and sighed, getting farther and farther away from home.The two of them mentioned the local conditions and customs of Shandong together, but they deliberately avoided the subject of Rong Xi's failure, and only said that Rong Jia's skill was not bad back then, but Cong Wen Dao was also able to win the exam, which makes people jealous and so on.Lin Mo also flattered him once.Another tablemate came to toast, got up quickly to answer, suddenly felt an itch in the waist, turned his head to see, but it was Shui Rong standing behind him: "Hey, where is your jade?"

"What's not jade?" Lin Mo finished speaking casually, and saluted the man behind him, "I've met the King of Xining."

King Xining was a round older than Shui Rong, but he didn't look old, especially his fox eyes, and there were some lines of laughter when he smiled, which made people uncomfortable: "It turns out that Dongping said that the Marquis of Jingyuan was born It's very good, like a bamboo like an orchid, I look at it today, and it seems to look better. It's almost inferior to Bei Jing."

Lin Mo couldn't help taking a deep breath, reminding himself that there are so many people now, it's inappropriate to just roll his eyes, so he smiled: "My lord's praise, the gift of my biological parents, the lower officials also think it's very precious." Shui Rong aside Hearing this, he burst out laughing with a "puchi" and said, "The king of Nan'an is also here today."

King Xining shook his head and went to talk to his old friends.Shui Rong turned his head and asked softly, "Why are you praising your weak waist and straight legs today?"

Lin Mo finally squinted at him: "You want to try? I don't mind."

Shui Rong was taken aback.Lin Mo had already patted him on the shoulder: "Why put on such a calm look. It's not good to talk to those who have long been indifferent to you, or you have to practice on your own?" After finishing speaking, he said to himself He turned around to talk to someone, but when Shui Rong walked back, his face blushed again and again, and it was hard for him to come back.

Together with Lin Mo, he realized that those who had been on the battlefield and are still in the capital are all gathered here.

Is this the so-called God of War?

But flirting in this kind of place that is not much better than the Hongmen Banquet - Lin Mo is also alone.

When I talked about it afterwards, I was spat at: "Slap me back, didn't you come to tease me first?"
