The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Shui Rong saw Lin Mo walking slowly into the main hall from the outside, and his eyes lit up, and then he saw someone behind Lin Mo, and stopped.

Rong Jia was very eye-catching and lovable. He still had some flesh on his cheeks. He looked very cute with his chubby face, but his chin was pointedly hidden in the fur collar of his coat. Against the background of the snow-white fox fur collar, he looked very naive. Shui Rong was stunned for a moment, thinking of Lin Mo's sister, but then felt that something was wrong. According to Lin Mo's temperament, it is completely impossible for her to be seen by outside men, so which one is this?

Just as he was thinking, Lin Mo introduced, "This is my cousin from Shandong."

Shui Rong reacted: "Master Rong?"

Rong Jia hurriedly said: "In front of the lord, there is no such thing as those of us who call him lord."

Shui Rong smiled, he was used to displaying the scores of virtuous and virtuous corporals in front of the princes of the aristocratic family, so this smile was kind and gentle, and he was born well. His face flushed, and he was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat when he saw his cousin staring at Shui Rong with a half-smile beside him.After all, Shui Rong is the king of the county, Rong Mingqian never evaluated him in front of his son, so Rong Jia didn't know the details of him, and only knew that he was a prince after all, with respect and order, his cousin was a bit bolder.

Shui Rong also caught Lin Mo's gaze, and said with a smile, "What is Taiyin looking at me for?"

Lin Mo's eyes twitched: "It's nothing."

Shui Rong didn't mind either: "Can Taiyin borrow a word? Last time you helped me, I thought, I must tell you something to repay."

When Rong Jia heard this, she knew that she should resign. She was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Mo quickly: "I don't have anything to know, but my cousin, I had a test a few days ago." After the test, the list will be released in a few days, isn't the prince here to give us reassurance?"

Shui Rong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know the reason for the important scientific research!"

Rong Jia took the opportunity to retract her sleeves, clamoring to go back to her room to rest, bowed to Shui Rong and then left, running like a rabbit, Lin Mo smiled and chased after him: "What are you running for?" What about a tiger chasing you in the room?" He took the first seat from the left in the hall and invited Shui Rong to sit up.Shui Rong was not annoyed either: "Master Hou sat down first, but asked Xiao Wang to sit up?"

Lin Mo said with a smile: "I think the favor I did to the prince last time was neither too big nor too small. The prince is going to use a piece of information—maybe I know it, and return my favor?"

Shui Rong shook his head: "This news, if you, a filial piety at home, know about it, then about half of the important officials in the capital will lose their heads."

"Appreciate further details."

Shui Rong looked around and made sure there was no one there, so he lowered his voice and said, "The emperor is going to give the prince a title."

This is indeed a major event. Now that the emperor is healthy and the princes are headed by King Zhongshun, they have not given up completely. The princes have gradually grown up and are working in various ministries. The means are still too immature, but given time, it cannot be said that they will be seen by others to be scheming.This enfeoffment... Is it to build a mansion in the capital to seal the king, or to seal it outside?

Previously, the emperor decided to confer kings on his sons when he came to the throne of Zen. Originally, he wanted to say that they would all be given a fiefdom and let them go by themselves. Filial piety—nonsense, the fief granted by the emperor to King Zhongshun was at the turn of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the most powerful and powerful, it was fine to control him in Beijing, let him go there, the emperor would not want the throne.

But the emperor is reluctant to let his younger brother out, what about his son?

Lin Mo's thoughts changed a bit, and seeing the inquiring expression on Shui Rong's face, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Even if the prince didn't come to tell me about this, at most, after a year, the emperor would definitely have the letter, let alone Feng Wang. What, there is no reason for people like me to know in advance, the prince intends to use this to repay the favor, so stingy."

Shui Rong couldn't help being a little disappointed.

He found that since he got to know Lin Mo, everything went wrong for him. He was prepared to have both sides, but Lin Mo ordered him to do two things. Suspicious of him, both sides are not pleasing.As soon as Qiushou's incident happened, he completely broke with King Zhongshun, and the new ministers looked at him quite differently, but it was all for their own selfishness at first.Let it go, he will keep on going until he reaches this step. Among the princes, he is the most optimistic about the third prince—of course, his own selfishness takes up a large part.What's more, Shui Fu is the eldest son of the middle palace, which is indeed the most orthodox.You can't be slick and slick, and it's good to have the merits of being a dragon.So when he got the news, he wanted to see what Lin Mo meant.

What you get is not as good as what you lose. Anyone with eyes can see how much the emperor loves Lin Mo. His opinions cannot be said to be completely useful, at least they are interesting.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mo changed the topic just like that.

I don’t know if it’s a good inheritance, but Lin Mo, who grew up in a noble family, is actually more proficient in this than the princes who are used to scheming. Adding to the difficulty, Shui Rong couldn't help secretly rejoicing that there was no king of a different surname named Lin in this dynasty, otherwise the emperor would have a way to make Lin Mo the prince, and then there would be no one else to talk about!

It's just that Shuifu is really a good candidate.Even if it is not for his own selfishness, compared with the slightly indecisive fifth prince, his decision is more contemporary.

Lin Mo didn't think so.

From his point of view as a doctor, the emperor’s health is very good, not to mention three to forty years, one to twenty years of the throne is always secure, even though the harem has not been released in the past few years, there is nothing wrong with his health, presumably There will be a little prince born, and 40 years later, who will be in charge of the situation is not what is being said now, right?When Yizhong Lao Qiantui broke something, he was established as the prince, but he was abolished in less than a year, and he helped Yizhong to take the position. Unfortunately, Yizhong is not a worry-free person. After becoming the prince, even his emperor Lao My father suspected it, and dared to rebel after winning over the guards of the Forbidden Palace. Unfortunately, even though Yizhong was bestowed to death, the deposed prince was never restored—not even a title.After the prince and Yizhong were abolished, King Zhongshun was the most favored by the emperor. What happened?The successor is still the current Holy One.

It can be seen that the matter of the throne is really uncertain. Lin Mo thinks that he does not have sharp eyes, and cannot see the thoughts of a person who is a dragon and an emperor.He could already imagine what would happen to those aristocratic families who took the wrong seat back then, but he couldn't.It's better to be a pure minister, he will not offend anyone who succeeds, so that the Lin family can be preserved.

In the past, the whole family kept a low profile, and there were no children who were fighting for power in the capital. This time he became a Marquis, he shouldered the glory of the whole family, but he also carried a lot of burdens. Wouldn't he become a sinner of the Lin family?

So Lin Mo could only try his best not to cause trouble for himself.

He can't afford to lose.

To be a powerful minister, embracing a dragon is the easiest and most convenient way, but it is also the one with the highest risk factor. Although Lin Mo is young, he has seen water and floats, and knows that he is somewhat ambitious, but this does not mean that He wants to imprint himself with the prince's faction. He is not the king of the county. Once he has this mark, it will be impossible to transfer to the faction. Even if the third prince is so good, he may miss it. All will be lost.

But it's different to please the emperor.

Lin Mo is still very clear about the path he wants to take.

But disappointment is nothing but disappointment, Shui Rong still said: "Since that's the case, how does Tai Yin want me to repay your favor?"

"Just now, my cousin wanted to buy a house in the capital. He lives alone, but he wants to live in a good place. The prince also knows that I don't go out very much. I am not very familiar with this capital city. I don't know if the prince has a house. good recommendation”

Shui Rong thought, does this mean that he wants to give him a house?It's not that he is raising a female family member, but the son of the governor of Shandong. He must have spoken too loudly.

But I heard Lin Mo say again: "There is no need to save money for him. Although the Rong family has only my uncle as an official, the family property has been accumulated for generations, and the family property is quite rich. He was spoiled and raised. He bought a house in the capital. Uncle must give it to him." Quite a lot." Shui Rong said with a smile: "Although the king is helpful in this matter, after all, it's not relative, but it's a bit wrong. Isn't the Rongguo Mansion your relatives and grandparents? They lived in Beijing for so many years. In [-], the men in the family are also used to go around and take care of common affairs, even the female relatives, it is said that they are also proficient in this way, why not ask them for help?"

Jia Lian is the only person in Rongguo Mansion who has any friendships, but Jia Lian has been promoted recently, and it is not easy to work in the yamen, not to mention that he has resigned from the mundane duties of Rongguo Mansion. Difficult for him?As for other people, Lin Mo avoided it. How could he think of asking them to help in this matter? Maybe the family still wanted to make a fortune from this matter.So he said: "The female family members are also good at this? The prince knows about this? It seems that Rongguo Mansion's family style is not very strict."

Shui Rong smiled awkwardly: "I'm just guessing, which family's female relatives don't know this?"

"My lord, just tell me if you are willing to help."

Now that the words have been said, Shui Rongwan has no reason to refuse. Last time Lin Mo helped him, it was a real life-saving grace, and it saved him a lot of trouble. The substitute who was placed in the Beijing Palace died Two, brought out a series of house thieves - this King Zhongshun had already stretched out his hand to the county king's mansion, if it wasn't for Lin Mo's protection, he would have died long ago.It's just to help Rong Jia find a house, Shui Rong is the king of the county anyway, someone can take care of it for him.

It just gets worse the more I think about it.

Shui Rong asked: "Why do I feel more and more that I'm like your family's long follower?"

Lin Mo smiled without saying a word.

He originally thought that Shui Rong would help him by breaking off his in-law relationship with Jia's family. It would be most embarrassing for Shui Rong to do this matter with these aristocratic families.However, after thinking about it, now that filial piety is used to rule the world, he must find a way to break this relationship openly. After all, what happened today is not justified, even if he breaks it forcefully, it will attract criticism.

Although it is criticized and not afraid, there is something wrong in the end.Although Lin Mo was named Marquis, he was born as a scholar, and he was destined to be a girl from the Kong family, which is very important to the word reputation.

It's just that he governs the world with filial piety, he respects the elders of the Lin family, and his relationship with the Jia family is far away, so no one should say nonsense.

In the end need to find a reason.

Lin Mo thought about it for a while, and then came up with an idea.He practiced medicine with his father when he was young. Because he was young, he also went to the inner house to see the sickness of the female relatives. He also knew the secret methods of those women from aristocratic families. Those tricks of his kind are nothing compared to the real way of scheming. Although he doesn't have the heart to argue with such a stupid person, if he continues to be so troublesome, he will be very irritable.

It's a pity that Lin Ruhai didn't continue, otherwise it would be justified, but if he continued, in case he was from a family like Rongguo Mansion——he sighed in his heart.
