The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The weather is not beautiful, and the rainy season is more than half a month earlier than in previous years. Fuyao is traveling by water. Although the continuous drizzle will not affect the level of the water, Jia Mu is still worried about whether the boat will be damaged or not. If the humidity is too heavy, will Baoyu's clothes get moldy when he salutes?In fact, she also understands that these are not the most important things. However, even if she is worried about other things, she can't do anything about them. Instead, they make people feel uneasy.Jia Zheng had been ill for a while, and he asked for leave before he recovered, and hurried back.Anyway, give Baoyu a ride.Although he was not used to this son and scolded him every day for being unbelievable, since Jia Zhu was gone, he was only a legitimate son and he was made handsome by Jia Huan, so how could he really get bored with him.I had high hopes at first, but who would have expected this one to come out.Naturally, he did not dare to blame the empress, but he also understood that what the empress lived in the deep palace for a long time, what she could know was probably the idea of ​​Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Mother Jia, he was a filial son after all, and he didn't say anything. He just scolded Mrs. Wang fiercely behind his back, until Mrs. Wang, who was already in poor health and sad, fainted. Just shut up.Sprinkle salt on her wound again: "Now I only have Huan'er left, you can take it away!" I was going to ask Jia Huan and Jia Lan's homework again, but Jia Huan's incompetence made me angry. Half dead, seeing that Jia Lan was not seen in the school, he wanted to scold him again. Li Wan returned to Lan Geer and was recommended to the Imperial College by the Marquis of Jingyuan the year before last. He said: "Tell him to study hard and don't lose face to his family."

Although he was angry as soon as he got home, on the day when Baoyu left, he was also worried. Seeing Mrs. Jia Muwang crying so hard, he was also full of soreness, but he was strict all his life. Can't speak.Baoyu hugged his grandmother and mother and cried for a while. With red eyes, he said: "The ancestors take care of themselves, and the grandson is not filial." Persuading him, Mother Jia didn't dare to delay, and sent him out with tears in her eyes.Seeing Baoyu turn her head three times at a step, she finally hugged the mandarin duck and cried, "This is my old life!"

Jia Zheng persuaded with tears: "Baoyu's trip this time is to serve the country, and mother should be pleased." Although the Ministry of Rites gave Rongguo Mansion face, thinking that there are many female relatives in the house, they never came in, but today the mansion is full of people. , There are a lot of visitors, and there are some who have bad intentions and sharp ears. If it is said that the Rongguo Mansion is dissatisfied with His Majesty's gift of marriage, and he is obedient and obedient, he will really have no way out.

Lord Fuyao was sitting in the cabin, and his servants came to report from time to time, "Lieutenant Jia Du went to meet Sheng Xie En early in the morning", "Lieutenant Jia Du is saying goodbye to his family", "Lieutenant Jia Du is entertaining relatives and friends who came to say goodbye", "Lieutenant Jia Du Wei is saying goodbye to his friend." After a few times in a row, Lord Fuyao smiled and said: "Although I have never thought that Han men and women have anything to do with each other, I have heard that even if Han women kiss other countries, it is awe-inspiring. I've heard of such sloppy things. Could it be that my memory is wrong, that person is actually a girl?"

The female officer said: "Your Highness, Jia Duwei is afraid that he will not be able to see his parents again in the future, so he feels a little bit reluctant, which is right."

"Let's wait for those old bastards from the Ministry of Rites to leave before sailing." Fu Yao said with a smile, "I can't bear to stop here all the time. I can imitate the louder yelling of those peddlers outside the pier."

The female officer said helplessly: "Your Highness, when you go back, you have to follow the emperor's rules."

Fuyao lowered his head and took a sip of the wine, ordered someone to burn incense, then lowered his head and sneered.

"Hmph, Your Majesty?"

The Ministry of Rituals invited him three times and urged him four times, Jia Baoyu finally bid farewell to his relatives, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian got on their horses and escorted him to the wharf with the "betrothal gift" that he had prepared for a long time with the Rongguo Mansion.Because of the rain, there were not many people watching along the way. The Jingzhao Mansion photographed government servants to clear the way, and many officials from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and the Six Ministries came.

Lin Mo lifted the hem of his official robe, and hurriedly stepped up the stairs, ignoring the servant's voice of "Master, be careful not to fall".

This is an ordinary inn, but it is not very clean - there are a lot of very cheap prostitutes living in old age, who serve the coolie workers on the nearby wharf.But now the group of people has changed, he went to the attic, only saw Shui Rong standing in front of the window, holding a diorama, with a profound look on his face.

"How about it?"

Shui Rong handed over the binoculars: "Look at Qian Xueguo's boat."

The envoys of the Qianxue Kingdom came to congratulate at the beginning, and brought countless spices and cloth as tributes, so the five ships that came were all very large and magnificent. The people watched from afar.However, Lord Fuyao was not there at that time, and later he found out that she was here, so if we go back together, we will not be able to take the same boat as the envoy.The emperor is also a strange person. He changed his father's style of "a few small things that people pay me, and I reward him with real gold and silver". The big boat I just used came back, and I usually swim around the lake. If I don’t go to the rivers and seas, I will reward you with this boat.The envoy of Qianxue Country almost choked with anger.

"Look at the drafts of those six ships." Shui Rong reminded.

Lin Mo frowned.The tributes from Qianxue Kingdom were light as a feather in the beginning, but fortunately the cabin was heavy, and it was enough to use only a few huge stones to press the boat, but the emperor did not reward the heavy objects, so they unloaded the tributes again. , should only be light and not heavy.

"Master Zhang Xin reminded me to notice that these days, no, to be precise, the drafts of their five ships have been changing since the Lord Fuyao came." Shui Rong said, "You are a scholar , I may not know that not all the accumulated water in this street flows to the rivers, lakes and seas by itself, there are always some pipes that lead to the river."

Lin Mo asked: "So even if there are so many eyes watching, as long as people are proficient in water, they can unload goods and change things up and down without being noticed by those watching on the shore?"

"After all, there must be a lot of people staring at the posthouse." Shui Rong thumped the window sill angrily, "Almost no one at the pier noticed that if the emperor hadn't given the big boat to Mr. Fuyao, there was one boat that hadn't changed, and the others Changes come and go, others just think it’s raining and windy these few days.”

Lin Mo said: "Master Zhang has sharp eyesight—has he gone to play it to His Majesty?"

"I'm afraid it's too late." Shui Rong sighed.

"That's right, such a big cabin is enough to hide hundreds of people." Lin Mo cast a gloomy glance at the ships that were fastened together, and said, "We all forgot that General Wu is a sailor. The teacher started from home."

Shui Rong had a headache and said: "Nan'an has also trained in the navy, but I heard from his tone that he has completely followed the lead of General Wu. I mean, you and I have some friendship with the Rongguo Mansion. We have sent Baoyu and the money on board, and we have to drink a couple of cups on board, if we tell them the truth and use their family members to make a big fuss, it would be best to make a fuss in the cabin—”

"Can they agree?"

"Is the prince willing?" Shui Rong tapped the window sill and said, "He is quite sensible, let's talk about it together, and we can always teach them some things."

Lin Mo sighed: "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"Rongguo Mansion." Lin Mo said, "The old lady of their family has always been capable and ambitious. Back then, they tried their best to stop me and asked me to withdraw the case of Zhen's family. At that time, someone accused me that Zhen's family ransacked the house. In the end, the Grange Real Estate was consistent with what I calculated, but the real money was much less. Such a woman, that is, in the inner house, has a little less insight. If she is really a man, she must be ruthless, dare to rush, dare to break and climb For a person who got quite tall and then fell badly all of a sudden, she has such a heart that she will let her grandson and pro Qianxue be such a daughter country?"

Shui Rongqi asked: "Didn't you always resist?"

"No, it's just our conjecture to use Baoyu's insanity to avoid relatives. Don't forget, even at the beginning, they begged King Yun, and His Royal Highness King Chu proposed to ask Zhen Baoyu to make a marriage instead. The banner of 'fake Jia Baoyu', to put it bluntly, means that their family doesn't want their grandson to go, but they want to support Weng Ma. It's their family who went out. Think about it, no matter how embarrassing it is for a son to go out and get married, although Their family has always had a bad reputation, but this is the first time I have seen them abandon themselves like this. Later, the king of Chu’s suggestion was rejected. The members of their family were sad, but at the same time they also resigned themselves to their fate. Jia Baoyu lives better in Qianxue. You can treat them as resigned to fate, but I was seriously ill with suspicion, so I thought of going to another place."

Water-soluble said decisively: "They may also be involved!"

Lin Mo turned her head abruptly: "Did you tell Wang Ziteng?"

Shui Rong opened his eyes wide in shock.

"Call Wang Ziteng up and hold him back. I'll go to meet Sheng." Lin Mo picked up the water-soluble raincoat and bamboo hat, "I came in a carriage, and I can't run fast. Let me borrow your BMW."

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Let's go, it's more convenient for me to meet the saint." After all, he is the head of the four county kings. To enter the palace to meet the emperor, he only needs two or three passers-by. Do not enter the palace when summoned.No matter how you look at it, it is more convenient and faster for him to go in.

"No," Lin Mo vetoed, and he had already gone down several steps, "I'm going to see the emperor, I don't need to explain anything to him, it's faster."

Because of his different identities, he doesn't need any extra explanations, the emperor will believe him.

Shui Rong hurriedly walked around to the back window, saw Lin Mo hastily got on his horse, led the servant away, and waved to the shopkeeper of the inn.The innkeeper nodded understandingly, and followed him out.

His heart jumped up and down.
