The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

But Jia Mu, since the Lin brothers and sisters left, was angry with Lin Mo for not giving her face, angry that the property of the Lin family had belonged to outsiders, and worried that Daiyu had divorced her. She was unhappy for a long time, until the news came from the palace. , Yuanchun became a concubine.

All of a sudden, the two mansions of Rongning and Ning were overjoyed, dressed up and celebrated, and the servants of Rongguo Mansion walked on the street with their toes proud.

And now that the world is ruled by filial piety and concubines are allowed to go home to visit relatives, Jia's mansion is even more joyful, eager to build a garden.And Jia's mother thought this was a good opportunity, now that Jia's mansion is the imperial concubine's natal family, Lin Mo didn't dare to take it lightly, so she sent someone to pick up Daiyu.

Lin Mo sent someone away and went to find his sister first.The slaves and servants of the farm shop left by Lin Hai were written into a book and handed over to Daiyu.Daiyu looked flustered: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Lin Mo winked, Wen Ge and Ya Yi both know how to read words and expressions, and took Xueyan and Zijuan out, Lin Mo said: "I want to say a few heartfelt words to my sister, but I am afraid that others will worry that I am plotting. My sister's family property, I intend to say bad things about the family, so give this booklet to my sister first, so that my sister can trust me a bit."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "What brother is saying, I naturally believe in brother."

"My sister trusts me, so I won't hide it from my sister. The rules of my sister's maternal ancestral home are too sparse." Lin Mo took a sip of tea and said softly, "I went to their house with my sister a few days ago, and opened the corner door. Don't tell me, father has only been gone for a few days? Everyone in his house is dressed in red and green, and there is no shortage of wine, silk and bamboo, do you think of us as relatives in your heart?"

It was fine if Lin Mo didn't say anything, but as soon as she said it, Daiyu remembered that when Jia Min passed away, Sister Feng Baoyu was all in red, and she couldn't help feeling sad, and shed a few more tears.

Lin Mo didn't persuade her, but just handed over a handkerchief: "Furthermore, I heard that Xue's family also lives in the Rongguo Mansion, and their girls are raised together with Jia's girls, and that woman said The Xue family girl is dignified and beautiful, and other girls can't match her. My good sister, I just want to tell you a word, how about the Xue family's character, you see, my brother and I know the details of their girls outside. , He is useless. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the most lowly. The serious lady Gonghou in his Rongguo Mansion said that he is not as good as the daughter of the merchant's family, but I, Lin Mo, can't bear to ask the Lin family's daughter to be brought with the Xue family. Put the girl in the same place and ask people to say it! Good sister, listen to my advice, if you are going to Rongguo Mansion, you should only treat yourself as a guest, but don't put your own name on the Rong Mansion's lottery!"

Daiyu was spoiled and raised by Lin Hai since she was a child. The scholarly family of the Lin family naturally abides by etiquette. After all, he is polite and the most intelligent, how can he not understand that these words of brother are for his own good?She lived in Jia's house in the early years, and many servants said that she belonged to Jia's family. She was not as generous as Xue Baochai, and someone made her stingy. She was wronged a long time ago, but Sighing that he was dependent on others, he couldn't express his grievances. Now that he heard what his brother said, he couldn't bear it, so he threw himself into Lin Mo's arms and cried bitterly.

Lin Mo was afraid that she might cry badly, so he carefully comforted her, and then ordered Wen Ge to come in to wash and dress the girl, and Daiyu wanted to return the account book to him, but he would not accept it, just said: "The left and right sides belong to my sister, too. I took what it looked like. It’s just a younger sister, these are thoughts left to you by your father, and it’s a piece of love from your father. Take good care of yourself and don’t let your father down.”

Daiyu is a very intelligent person, how could she not understand Lin Mo's words?Thinking about when her father was still dying, Jia Lian was talking about selling the Lin family's property, and she felt disgusted in her heart, and even Jia Mu, who had always loved her, also secretly alienated her.

Therefore, the Jia family sent their mother-in-law to invite her, and without Lin Mo asking, Daiyu returned several times by herself.At first, Jia's mother only thought that Lin Mo was acting as a hindrance, but when she asked, it was Zicuckoo who came out to answer. Her heart was not good, and this Yu'er probably separated from her, so she didn't care about anything, so she asked Jia Zheng to come out and answer. I went to the post and invited Lin Mo to drink at the house.

Zhou Rui, the steward of the Rongguo Mansion, went to deliver the post in person, but when he came back, he said: "The master of the Lin family is at home, but the younger one was not able to enter the hall. The concierge said that the prince of Beijing is here today, and Mr. Lin is with him." King Bei Jing, you are not allowed to go in and report back if you have something to do."

Mother Jia regarded herself as the grandmother of a noble concubine with a very high status. Seeing that the Lin family did not come to congratulate her for so long, she felt resentful in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface, but she didn't dare to compare her family with the King of Beijing, and she was suspicious of Lin Mo. When to make friends with the King of Beijing, I can't make up my mind for a while.

On the contrary, Sister Feng is the most shrewd, and said with Jia Lian in the room: "Our family has no scholar except Brother Xianzhu. I am an ignorant woman, and I also know the wealth of the number one scholar and the cousin of the Lin family. Although we are not considered serious relatives, we still have to get along well, and who can say what will happen in the future."

Jia Liansi and Lin Mo were also amazed at their neat demeanor when they were in Yangzhou: "That's the case, don't forget that the Lin family boy is not only the number one scholar, he is also a serious prince! Otherwise, why is Beijing Jing Will the king go to his house? The old lady has been smart all her life, and now she is acting a little impulsively, we just don't know, there are empresses in the palace anyway!"

Sister Feng nodded and said yes, but she was very clear in her heart. Although she also laughed at Jia Lian as the uncle of the country when the husband and wife were alone, she also knew that Yuanchun was only Baoyu's direct brother, and the benefits of Yuanchun had nothing to do with their eldest wife.What's more, the empress is here, and even Baoyu is not an uncle of the country.The noble concubine put it nicely, but she is also the emperor's concubine after all.

This King of Beijing Jing is also a wonderful person, named Shui Rong, he inherited his father's nobility at a young age, he is a rare young talent in this capital, handsome and handsome, with a very beautiful appearance.Even if it was Lin Mo, he could only sigh secretly.

When King Bei Jing came to visit, he naturally had to come out respectfully, and was about to salute, but was stopped by Shui Rong.Lin Mo said: "My lord, etiquette cannot be discarded."

Shui Rong shook his head and said, "I'm a private visit. I'm talking about personal friendship with Tai Yin. Don't be too unfamiliar." Lin Mo himself didn't know his origin and lived in fear in the capital, but Shui Rong, as a close minister of the emperor, knew it very well.The pronunciation of the word Mo is the same as the end, and now there is no child born in that palace!

Lin Mo asked his subordinates to serve tea, and asked, "My lord is here, what advice do you have?"

"I can't talk about advice." Shui Rong asked his servants to watch outside, and then whispered to Lin Mo, "There is an anecdote, there is a cousin in Brother Lin Xian's family, and it is said that she was made a noble concubine."

Lin Mo said with a smile: "According to the calculation, that family is not my maternal grandfather, but just looking after my sister. People like Rongguo Mansion are the most lively, and they have a son who is born with jade. It is even more noisy. It’s all over the street, why bother to have a noble concubine now.”

What he said was very interesting.

Of course Lin Mo is not a fool. When he was a bachelor's attendant, he was a real student of the emperor, and he was the one who could figure out the holy will. Now he is very dissatisfied with the old minister's family, just for the sake of the emperor.This Jia's family is also a licentious one, the girl in the boudoir is known by everyone in the street, having a son named jade is a good omen in the royal family, but what does it mean in an ordinary family?But they don't know how to restrain themselves.Lin Mo was a lonely person, so he naturally wanted to stay away from the Jia family, so he kindly mentioned his younger sister.He had heard that the King of Beijing had a good relationship with the Jia family, so his words were somewhat tentative.

Shui Rong smiled on his face, and complained in his heart, Lin Mo was a man with ideas, he originally wanted to please both sides, using the Jia family to please the emperor, and the Lin family to please the emperor, who would have thought that Lin Mo would ask him to find someone with a single word? a station?

The king of Beijing Jing is good at dancing, he pleases everyone and can't offend anyone, so he dominates the already declining four kings and eight princes. He also knows the meaning of the present, so as soon as he noticed Lin Mo's background, he came to set him up personally. It was so close, how could Lin Mo have such thoughts.

So he thought about it for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Although Lin Xiandi has a title now, he has nothing to rely on. If he makes friends with the Jia family, it will be beneficial and harmless."

Lin Mo didn't speak, but turned his head and smiled at Shui Rong.He was originally born well, with this smile, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his face was like a crown of jade.Shui Rong recalled the phrase he praised Jia Baoyu earlier that he was as precious as jade, and couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

It's just that Lin Mo is not easy to fool like Jia Baoyu, he gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, I know Brother Lin Xian has an idea, so I won't say much, anyway, if you have something to do, just ask me." Even the habitual self-proclaimed "principal king" dare not say it anymore.

Lin Mo didn't know what the King of Beijing's overtures meant, but since he said so, Lin Mo naturally nodded openly and said, "I'm at ease with the words of the prince." He said a polite remark, "It's too polite for the lord to call Lin Xiandi, why don't you just call me Taiyin."

Water-soluble gas is speechless.
